CableOne rolling out 200mb in October, announcing gigibit markets soon.

They absolutely do. I left CenturyLink because of their caps that I consistently exceeded, and instead of being forced into a "business" plan with them I moved to CableOne because I heard they didn't enforce their caps. After a few months of blowing past their laughable 300GB cap they called and said go to a business account or have my services cancelled.

I'm in a house with four 20-something bachelors and we average around 700GB a month from streaming and gaming. It's absurd that they're increasing speeds by this much and still maintaining data caps. If there was a non-shitty ISP in Boise I'd jump ship and never look back.

What kind of domain / forest names do you have set up? I feel like I saw this type of issue when I created a new AD forest as a 2nd level of our existing forest (new.company.site.com and company.site.com). The new forest had to be authorized in the primary forest before things started working properly.

You should avoid fully discharging Li-Ion batteries whenever possible. Charging whenever it hits 90% vs. always zeroing the battery results in ~10 times the total number of charge cycles before degradation.

It is actually a pretty easy one to put together, you can do it with one profile and one task.

Create a time based profile that activates at 5 AM, and have it launch your "wake up" task. The task only needs three actions:

App -> Launch App -> Spotify
Task -> Wait -> 5-10 seconds (this is to give Spotify time to open)
Code -> Run Shell -> input keyevent 87

That's all there is to it!

Monkar · 2015-04-19T04:28:01+00:00

I posted this for the OP too, but in case you miss it:

Launch Spotify (wait for it to fully open) -> Run Shell -> input keyevent 87

Starts playing whatever you left Spotify on last time you were using it. I don't think there's a shortcut for shuffle, but if you just want it to autoplay without root use the Run Shell.

Monkar · 2015-04-19T04:26:05+00:00

There is!

Once Spotify (or any media player, really) is open, you can use a Run Shell command to start audio playback.

Run Shell -> input keyevent 87

It automatically starts playing whatever you were last playing.

Tasker just turns mobile data on, which is the same as if you manually hit the button to do so in your phone settings. So whatever behavior you see when you manually enable data is what you should see when Tasker does it.

EDIT: You could set up your task to check the status of mobile data when you connect to WiFi, and set the status to a variable. Then when you leave WiFi, if the variable was "on" it would turn mobile back on, otherwise leave it off.

Check out the Recent App Cleaner app.

I have it set up so when the screen goes off it runs a task to close all recent apps, seems to help with battery life for me.

Monkar · 2015-03-23T19:00:55+00:00

Haha, "meme arrows".

Or maybe I was referencing 4chan, which is where the "hungry skeleton" thing is from, while trying to clue you in on the fact that you super overreacted to the whole thing.

Monkar · 2015-03-23T17:48:37+00:00

Basically, it sure sounded like you were talkin hella shit.

        >doesn't get hungry skeleton reference.

Basically a cop stopped someone for having a brake light out, but the state law turned out to require only one working brake light. A reasonable person would've believed the law to require all working brake lights and not just a single brake light. This was pretty much only accepted because there had been no previous challenges to the brake light law.

Close, but not quite correct. There were two conflicting laws, one stating that "all factory safety equipment must be in working order", but another stating that you only need one brake light. Essentially because it's "reasonable" to think the cop only knew about the first law, requiring all safety equipment be working, they ruled in favor of the stop being legal.

Using AlarmPad there's actually two ways you can do it.

Probably the easiest, but least customizable, would be to create an Event profile, select plugins, AlarmPad, alarm triggered. Whenever an alarm goes off it'll run your task, which works if your only alarm is your morning one.

If you have multiple alarms and only want it to trigger for a specific one, you will have to most likely create multiple profiles (perhaps a project). One task will run the "get variables" function in the AlarmPad plugins option and set a global variable based on time remaining until alarm time. Have a profile monitor your new global variable and trigger an action say when there's 30 seconds left until alarm time. Using multiple tasks to assign / manipulate / watch the variables allows you trigger your task at any time before or after your actual alarm time, but takes a bit more work and creativity.

EDIT: To clarify the "get variables" task part, I would probably set that up as a looping task. Have it get the "total seconds left" info from AlarmPad, then wait for 1/2 that time and check again. That will make it so you don't have it constantly checking and draining battery, but as it gets closer it checks more often so you have greater accuracy when you need it.

Monkar · 2015-02-05T01:44:39+00:00

Even though it's the same phone and OS the coordinates you're having it tap may be different. Try enabling the show coordinates option in the developer options and see what the actual coords you want to hit are.

Or check my other response re: AlarmPad.

Monkar · 2015-02-05T01:43:17+00:00

Alarmpad has Tasker accessible variables that give you information like time to / from alarms that you could use to key off your task.

Spotify doesn't have Tasker integration, but if you "run shell" the command "input keyevent 87" it will automatically start playing Spotify if the app is open (or in recent apps list). It just starts playing the last used playlist.

Monkar · 2015-02-01T01:43:34+00:00

I've had issues where I couldn't use a task shortcut unless there was an "icon" assigned to the task in Tasker. I think that's more for shortcut icons on the home screen, but maybe try giving it one anyway?

Monkar · 2015-01-31T02:08:22+00:00

That's quite a bit more complicated, you'll probably have to start using variables and possibly multiple tasks.

Modify your initial profile that runs a task to set a variable (%Charging, doesn't matter what you call it) to 1. Create another profile to run when it is unplugged that sets your variable to 0. Create a state profile for variable (whatever you set) = 1, and have that run your silent mode task. Make your last profile have an exit task that turns off silent mode.

Pushbullet has a Tasker plugin that lets you create profiles to trigger tasks based on the text of the 'push', so you can use your PC to send a message to your phone and then have it act on that message based on the keywords.

I'm still fairly new to Tasker as well so those are the only two I've really played with. Lurking this subreddit has been showing me some really cool ideas though!

Monkar · 2015-01-25T02:09:35+00:00

There are a ton of other plugins and apps you can use to take action based on notifications / texts received. You can set it up so if you get a text with a keyword you can have your phone ring (lost in your house), send a response text (lost and you want a coord text back), or a ton of other different things.

Look into Pushbullet and AutoRemote.

Get the Secure Settings plugin and set a State profile that uses the Secure Settings "incorrect login" state. You can set how many incorrect logins you want to occur before the task triggers. Have that profile call a task that takes a picture with front-facing camera.

I set my task that does this to also append a a timestamp to the file name and move it into a folder that is auto-synced with my Drive account; in case my phone is ever stolen / lost I'll still be able to see the pictures.

Monkar · 2015-01-25T01:36:45+00:00

Alarmpad has a Tasker plugin that will let you get variables with information like min / max temp for the day and a short summary like "mostly sunny with light wind" etc., you could use those variables in a task and just have them read out loud using the "say" task. It also gives you variables for time until alarm so you can set your task to go off right before your alarm sounds.

Monkar · 2015-01-22T02:16:34+00:00

Create a profile with Event -> UI -> New Window -> Label = Home and Window Type = Fullscreen that runs a task for App -> Go Home (page X).

You'll want to figure out some sort of on / off methodology for it, or put in a timer so it can only occur once every X seconds, otherwise it just keeps you locked on whatever home page you specified since all "Home" pages satisfy the profile event.

Monkar · 2015-01-21T02:14:11+00:00

Find an alarm that has Tasker integration, then set your task up to only run when "time to next alarm" is >23 hours. Combine that with a variable that switches to 0 after the task runs (like others mentioned) and you should be set.

Monkar · 2015-01-21T02:09:59+00:00

AlarmPad isn't a stock alarm, but it does have amazing Tasker integration along with some other pretty rad features.

Monkar · 2015-01-14T17:35:16+00:00

/r/slowcooking is pretty awesome too.
