Samsung Captivate :: Free Location Based WiFi Switch
Jul 24, 2010For those of you trying to squeeze as much time out of the battery as possible, I came across this nifty program which I don't think has been mentioned yet: AppBrain: Y5 - Battery Saver - Android app on AppBrain Official: Y5 Battery Saver: Home. When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, it uses the GSM base tower identifier (CellID) to determine the location of the Wi-Fi network and stores it in memory. It does not use the GPS. I saved my home network earlier this afternoon and went out, Wi-Fi was turned off while I was out, then after I came home and started using my phone, I was connected again, so it seems to be working so far.

Nexus :: App That Disable Wifi/enable 3g Reception Based On Gps Location
Jan 20, 2010Wouldn't it be cool if I could tell my phone to switch wifi on and switch 3g reception off when it senses that I am at work or home based on my gps coordinates and then reverse that when I'm on the road i.e. not at those coordinates I set. Is there an app that does this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHTC Incredible :: Location Based Services
May 24, 2010I 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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedHTC Incredible :: Use WiFi / GPS For Location Setting? (Battery Life)
May 3, 2010Do you use "Use wireless networks" or "use GPS" for your location setting, with an eye towards preserving battery life? I've heard that using GPS can be better on battery life because it only draws power when an application needs to use the GPS (which shouldn't be too often). I also heard that the wireless network setting uses more power because it is constantly using power.
View 6 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Switch Profile Based On Lockscreen Pattern
Jul 14, 2013My rooted device is shared. I already set-up multi-user profiles for each of us:
1-Family mode
2-My mode
How is possible to switch profile based on lockscreen pattern?? example: "pattern1" triggers My mode while entering "pattern2" triggers Family mode.
So I will have certain apps automatically blocked when in family mode (hides some applications, sms, calls, and/or maybe starts a blacklist?) But unlocked in My mode
Is there a way to do this? or is there an app/hack that can closely do some of it?I don't need exactly the multiuser feature. but at least a way to start an app or two (maybe a blacklist, lock gallery/other app) with the pattern2 of the lockscreen.
Android :: Location Based Reminders App?
Jul 27, 2010Is 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.

Jan 17, 2010This 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.

Feb 1, 2010I used PhoneAlarm to do my call forwarding when I was on the "other" platform. It dialed my call forwarding number based on time of day. 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 RelatedSamsung Epic 4G :: Good App For Location-based Reminders?
Sep 30, 2010I 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 RelatedAndroid :: GPS Coordinates Within Certain Radius Based On Current Location
Sep 3, 2009In 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?
General :: Google Now Location Based Reminders Not Working?
Jul 9, 2013I'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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: App To Schedule Exchange Sync Based On Time / Location?
Mar 23, 2010I'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?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHow To Build WiFi Based Headphone On Android
Aug 20, 2013It seems that Android platform accepts four types of audio interface: built-in speaker/mic, plug-in speaker/mic, USB speaker/mic and bluetooth speaker/mic. Can we add a fifth audio interface that comes through WiFi? There are multiple use cases for such interface, e.g., we can replace speaker/mic on phone with the ones on laptop through WiFi and enjoy better audio quality. There are multiple apps that do the reverse (use Android phone as an external Mic for desktop) but no app in this direction. We need to add a new audio interface that can be accepted by Android OS. We may also modified the existing bluetooth driver so that it handles the WiFi interface instead of bluetooth (we lose the ability of bluetooth connection but in my case this is acceptable). I don't mind if I have to root the phone. What modules/drivers should I modify, the tiny-alsa library/driver I guess? Any similar codes or apps?
