I travel to different places to visit clients and spend few hours with each client any given day. Most of the time I am busy or forget to use a time tracker application to log my time in and time out. Are there any application out there that track time spent on a specific location. I use locale but it doesn't give me time spent at specific a location.

How could I get and use the number of satellites before starting location tracking?For example I want to start location tracking only when there are min X satellites in use.

I know Locale has the capability but there is no plugin to do it. Does ANYONE have an App or know how I can call forward based on location or time of day or to at least call any number based on this criteria? I do not, or I should say, cannot use Google Voice since I have no account and they are not taking any more users.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm new around here, but I thought I'd appeal to the knowledge-base to see if anyone knew of an app that might help me.
Basically, it's pretty simple. I want to be able to control how frequently my Exchange email syncs based on what time of the day it is and/or my location. Does Locale have this functionality? Just reading the documentation, I don't think it does, but I'm not too anxious to spend $10 to find out. Could there be a plugin or something for Locale that would do it?
My basic beef with my Eris is that when I'm at work, with my email running and I get an email, even if I retrieve it and mark it as read, my phone will still beep and retrieve the email when it does its sync cycle, (which I have set to every 10 minutes) so I'll basically get the email twice, even if I've read it on my computer 10 minutes before. I'd like to be able to set it so that I can control how often it syncs when I'm at work, either based on the time or location.
Is this possible? Anybody have any suggestions?
I have been looking for an application that has call forwarding based on location and or time. Found it. It is called Tasker and it is a very powerful application. It is still in beta but works better than anything else I found.

When you get your EVO or get a tracking number, share it with the forum. Don't forget to mention your location. I'm really hoping we get our phones before Friday.

I'm developing a mapping app using Eclipse 3.5.I'm setting the minimum update period with the LocationManager's requestLocationUpdates method, via a configuration activity. When I set the property I see in Logcat that the system process sets the value OK.When I actually send a new location from the DDMS emulator control and the location changes on the map view, I see that the system process then sets the minimum time to zero.Below is a capture of the system's log messages. You can see that I'm setting the period to 32 seconds, then 16, then, after I've sent a simulated location change the system sets it to zero.The map responds to location changes to location changes instantly even if they are sent only a couple of seconds apart.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo, I've checked 'settings->apps->running' and I see that when I restart my phone the OS turn on Google location Manager, Google Play market, and some other thing.
I would really like if when I turn on my phone- no element could use my GPS unless I specifically tell it to run, then stop the usage when I tell it to close. Part of the tracking prevention, I imagine, will be done by disabling those services which are required for proper part functioning.
I suppose my questions are:
1) What services/elements should I disable?
2) How do I prevent them from running on startup?
3) How do disable parts of android to run on start up, in general?
Also I'd like to note that I would prefer not installing any apps or root the phone.
Is there a location based reminder app? For example, let's say I need something from the store. I would like an app that would remind you to go to the store when you are near one. It would be cool if you could select specific locations or use generic locations (based on what is in Google Maps maybe). Hopefully it uses the location service without using satellite GPS.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI need a time tracking app. There is a lot of time trackers on Google Play and I've tried a lot of them, but in every app I missed one important feature: parallel timers for different clients and jobs.
I need:
- to define my clients, to define my jobs I do for the clients, to define projects.
- to simply choose client, project and kind of job and then start the timer
- to simply start and stop MULTIPLE timers (start and stop one timer, while second timer is still running)
- to export all data in usable form (for billing my clients)
Example of what I mean:
- My job is phone support. I am sitting at home and answering phone calls. I am payed for hours, so I need to start timer and leave it running almost all day untouched (except of lunch time).
- Because I spent most of the time by waiting for calls, I simultaneously do other jobs. I write articles, compose music and do some other work for other clients. So I need to start and stop timers according to actual work - but the "phone support timer" has to be also running. When I am - for example - writing an article and someone calls me, I need to stop "writing article timer", pick up the phone and solve customer's problem. When I drop the phone, I need to start "writing article timer"... etc...
This kind of app with parallel timers I've used on my Psion PDA back in 1998, but I can't find similar app for Android phones.
Location based rules dont work. I have GPS checked, and starred but it wont find me. I open up google maps and cell tower triangulation completely sucks. 10 miles off. Now the real question is; Is the dev working on this problem? Should I buy it and hope it gets fixed? The app has alot of potential, but it needs its location fixed bad.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is what I am trying to do: simple app to get list of addresses I am interested in based on my current location.
I get the current location using location services. Now, based on this current location I want to do a search on business places without really using the SearchManager's triggerSearch. The problem with the triggerSearch is that it launches the googlemap and show the business address I am looking for and it is blocked. I want to get the control back. I do not want to launch the map with the listing. all I want to do is the get the Geopoint of the business address I am interested in using a simple web search. I tried reverseGeocoding , but it is does not work with business address. It needs full address. any suggestion?.
Simply put, all I want to do is a simple websearch , say query="whole foods, los gatos, CA" to get its full address. and then use it to get the GeoPoint.
In my application I have a list of +400 GPS coordinates which I retrieve from addresses. The application should give me the top X nearest coordinates based on my current location.
This application is possible (I think) with the distanceBetween function. But (I think) the application is really inefficient when i iterate through the list of 400 coordinates and check the distance within a certain time interval. Another option is (I think) the proximityAlert function? All coordinates are loaded in this function and when my current location comes in the radius of a coordinate an alert is given. But the downside of this solution (I think) is the high memory usage which implies a short battery life of the Android phone?
I am looking for an app that would automatically send a text message based on a GPS location. The reason for this app is because I am a vanpool driver and it would be great if I could notify my riders when I am getting close to their house so that they are waiting for me when I pull up. Much better than having to honk my horn and then wait!
View 5 Replies View RelatedI know there are many posts about location based widgets not working correctly (and I have read lots of them). Some people say they do and others say they don't work right. on my DI I can not get the Sense Weather/Clock to follow where I am currently (GPS on or off). Is it supposed to?? It would seem to me that it should be able to get a rough area based on what cell towers I'm hitting, but that doesn't work for anything. Every weather based widget I've tried works solely off GPS and when I am in my building at work there is no connecting to the GPS Sats. So before I go off on a tangent I'll ask my question(s). Should non-GPS location services work? Or does everything need GPS on and connected? I only have about a week left and I want to make sure that my phone is working correctly before my 30 days are up. This is the only frustrating thing I have found with the phone so far.

All new to this forum and just got my first android phone over the weekend which I'm really excited about and so far love every minute of it. The reason for this posting is because I'm looking for a certain application. I know there are many flight tracker apps out there but I seem to remember hearing about on app which you could just point your phone at a specific airplane it would give you information about where it originated and where it was headed, it was great because you didn't have to enter any information and you could track random flights that you saw going overhead.

I'm looking for a Mileage Tracker App, if anyone knows of one. I plan on driving from location to location frequently throughout my work day, and I'd like to be able to save time on keeping track of my mileage by having an app that does it for me. What I'm looking for is to be able to get in my car, have the GPS on, open the app and press start. From there, I want the GPS to track my location, just like it would do for navigation. When I get to my destination, I want to be able press stop and have it tell me (and log on a daily, weekly, or monthly page) the mileage for each trip.
i.e.
11/20/10 3:35pm - 3:50pm 10.3 mi [View Map]
11/20/10 5:22pm - 5:45pm 24.6 mi [View Map] <--- Button to press to view map
I'd also like for it to record the path I took on a map (as seen above), so that I can easily identify where I am driving to and from, when trying to fill out a mileage sheet.
Does anyone know of an app to change vital phone settings based on your location? So, if i'm at home, my WiFi will turn on, same for my friends. Or i get to work and it turns to silent?
View 13 Replies View RelatedI had an app on my Pre called Geostrings that did location-based reminders, and it was really handy. I see a few out on the Android market, anyone have one they use that they could recommend? Ideally it would work with the GPS off and just use cell towers for location if necessary, since I tend to leave my GPS off unless I need it to conserve battery, and may forget to turn it on when I have an alarm enabled. I tried "Location Alarm", but it may require the GPS, because I got no alarm with it at all, then later realized I had the GPS off.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've set up reminders for home and work. On some occasions I will get the reminder after I have been at the location after an hour or more, and sometimes I don't get notified at all? It's showing my location accurately on the phone- just the reminders aren't working correctly. Is this actually working? I mean, if you go to a location wtih a reminder, do you a) get a reminder, and b) a reminder right away- not hours after you've arrived at the location? I need to determine if it's not working yet, or if I may have an interfering app... I'm running stock JB 4.1.2 with Verizon on a Samsung S3 phone.
