Help Toggle specific apps to notify or not based on wifi

Hay all,

This is the first I've found of Tasker and it looks amazing! I can't wait to think of cool new routines for my phone. My question is this:

Sometimes I'm at work and pulled away from my desk for longer than I expect. As much as 2 hours, which is long enough to wish I had seen an email earlier. I have my phone/watch notifications turned off because when I'm at work I'm getting messages via my laptop, and at home they will text me if it's important. When my (Work wifi is near + Laptop Bluetooth is near), I want notifications OFF for Outlook (and others) as I'm certainly sitting in front of my laptop. (Work wifi + NO laptop Bluetooth) means I'm on the warehouse floor and I want those messages getting to me via phone/smartwatch, so I want Tasker re-enabling the notification of those apps. Home wifi near means disabling of those notifications since now work is somebody else's problem! :p

I have a Samsung Note 9, running Android 10, One UI 2.1, unrooted. Setting the wifi near and Bluetooth near is easy enough, but no matter which settings I look into I can't find the specific one I'm looking for App Settings, General Settings, Notifications...

Am I missing something , do I need to look into creating a custom variable, something else?

Thanks

Android Phone Suddenly Getting Spam Pop-ups

Hi, Guys. Thanks for all the great info and suggestions. It's late here tonight, but I was successfully in enabling Developer Options on my LG Android phone. Within a few day, when I have the time, I will follow your recommendations and pursue the ad popup issue.

I did have one question, and please excuse my ignorance.

I keep reading everywhere about having a "rooted phone." Is my phone now considered "rooted" since I have enabled Developer Options, or is there something more involved?

Thank You,
WTH

No.
You are not rooted.

Unable to do factory reset - stuck in "ODIN MODE"

That's the download mode. To go there you press the vol down key as well as home and power:https://www.hardreset.info/devices/samsung/samsung-g360f-galaxy-core-prime-lte/hardreset-second-method/#:~:text=Press Power button, until your,-- delete all user data".

If you correctly doing home+vol up+power, then maybe their info is incorrect. Try doing the opposite......hold the vol down button instead.


No luck... If I press Volume UP + HOME + Power button I get the screen on the first picture from my first post. If I hold Volume Down + HOME + Power button I get the screen from the second picture in my first post. Neither of these screens/menus are the recovery mode.

cannot add network printer

Unfortunately that model isn't listed for their app at HP Printers - Mobile Printing Solutions Compatible with HP Printers:

I also found this HP Print Service Plugin:
https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03722645
...but the list of compatible printers is the same as above so it's not compatible either.


Thanks for the info - ok - perhaps it's not possible then...

Problem with fastboot in LG G3 vigor

Using Widows 7 may or may not be the cause but it is a bit antiquated. I read this

"After a little research, in device manager, I right clicked, went to Update Driver, Browse my computer for driver software, Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer, and selected one of the two "MTP USB Device" rather than "MTP Device". That got me back up and running."

Its worth a try, if that fails update Windows on pc.


The update installs the drivers but not select the correct one to install, you have to do that.

The "MTP USB Device" is the one to select


Hello,
I tried to connect mobile with PC include Win10 but repeat the same thing (no port and no device) and I didn't found "MTP USB Device".
Please see to attach image.

Thank you

Are These Asurion 3-Year Warranties on Amazon Too Good to Be True?

I just ordered an S10 5G ($450 from Amazon Renewed with 90-day warranty). Interestingly, when you go to purchase they ask if you want an Asurion Protection Plan for $7.49 month which covers everything except theft/intentional damage and there's a $39/$59 charge depending on how you get it repaired (through them or reimbursed) and $129 for full device replacement. Interestingly, You can buy $450-$499 protection plan outright on Amazon for the same company for $57.99 for a 3-year plan. A lot cheaper than 36 X $7.49 = $269. And this is crazy, the details and Asurion confirmed in the questions section on Amazon this has no $39/$59/$129 deductible!! Can't believe it.

How can I keep a location history of my bluetooth devices?

The Pixel Buds are actually able to leverage Google's Find My Device thing to figure out where they were last connected to your phone.

I did some looking and found an app which claims to do a similar thing, but I don't have any personal experience so can't say how well it might work:

GrapheneOS on the 4 yet?

Well camera apps and keyboards are also things you can change. OpenCamera, for example, doesn't have all of the image processing of the Pixel camera but does give you much more control rather than Google's "take our automation, you don't need anything else" approach.

I can't comment on speech to text because I never use it. On the Pixel that stuff would be linked to Google's computers, so you'd need the Google stuff for it to work the same way, which defeats the point of installing Graphene, but what other speech to text options there are and whether they integrate with the Graphene keyboard I don't know.
