Galaxy S3 Watering Hole

Is it really that great? ....it's a bit pricey for a management app. But it gets rave reviews, so I almost not the bullet and got it.

I have profiles to turn off my unlock code when at home, turn up the brightness when charging, turn up the volume whenever Toma calls and a special one to handle receiving a 911 message from Toma that will make the phone go into hyper-spasms until I read the text message (and also tells her I've received the text message on my phone).

Once I start back at work I'll have another profile that will text Toma to let her know I've left.

My understanding is that it works nicely with NFC allowing you to set up profiles that will allow you to change the phones configuration when you sit are your desk, plug it in to the car etc.

I've not even touched the surface of it yet. I'm working on a classic one folk have mentioned before that takes a picture of anyone who fails to unlock my S3 and emails me the picture and location.

The downside of Tasker is its UI. It is however wicked powerful.

Morning k'lin & dread.

Yea, there is that, I've spent most of the morning napping so it's all good. Need some more UK owners in here :D

Anyways, how are we all on the glorious day?

Great. finishing up breakfast for the boys :egg:, Working on waking them all up ... (Love doing that).... Just another lonely day in paradise. Mr P'Lin is still gone until Weds. Hopefully payroll goes well.

On a lighter note, I am looking forward to downloading Tasker:willy:. I think it will be fun to play with !

Morning all!:ciao:

I downloaded it last night. It seems complex but then again I'm simple minded.

Good morning all. I feel like death so I'm calling out of work and crawling back in bed. Goodnight.

That's exactly what I hear. Makes me nervous buying it for that reason. But the reviews say, if you can figure it out it's awesome. So I will give it a whirl.

Yep, it is pretty pricey. There's a user here, UncleMike, who's a wizz with it so if you need any support, shoot him a PM.
He started a thread a long while back in the Apps forum (or maybe it's the Android Lounge?). If you search for it, there's loads of tips on different profiles.
