Autolock when out of reach of Wifi? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi There!
I have got an idea for application, and I am not sure where else to post it as I do not consider this a question, more likely an idea, if this is wrong section, please move the thread somewhere else.
I am not sure, whether application like this exists already, nor could ever be created, but the idea is simple. Basically, I am connecting to two different wifis during my usual day. One in work, second at home. Now I have my phone connected with Work exchange and a lot of emails are confidential, which is the reason, why I have set password on my lockscreen, to prevent anyone getting into my phone in case I would loose it.
These two wifi networks, are however very safe place for me, and place where I use my phone the most, and typing in the password every moment when I need to access my phone is not effective, and can get quiet frustrating.
The idea was, that the phone would automatically switch off the password protection, if connected to one of those networks, and when in out of reach from those networks, phone would again required password to type in order to access it.
If you ask me, I guess I would not be the only user of this app, and it might be worth considering and possibly developing. I have never tried to create any application on my own, so I am not sure, whether that would be possible, and something inside says that it might be quiet complicated, but I will leave this to more experienced devs to see what could be done.
Thanks for help/responses

look up an app named tasker. perfect app for you .

[Q] Threaded/grouped Call log?

Sorry, I know this probably belongs in the development forum, but I don't have enough posts under my belt. Thought about putting up dummy posts somewhere, but I thought that might be frowned upon.
I'm running unNamed 1.3.0. Is there a mod out there to have call log entries from the same people grouped together? Like if there are several consecutive calls to and from the same person, it would show up as one entry, with the detailed history if you select the grouped item. I think Froyo did this (Atrix and Thrill). I've seen a lot of people ask this question for different devices but not for the GS2, plus having a custom rom (I did search the unnamed dev thread, but I'm not about to go read all 168 pages of that thread; I read about twenty).
I know there are apps out there for my issues but I'd like to avoid that if possible. If that's being too picky, feel free to let me know. Is something like Dialer One the way to go?
Thanks for reading!
call log shortcut
if anyone is interested, there's an app in the Market called Call Log Shortcut. It is exactly what it's called. For some reason I had trouble finding a way to get a call log shortcut. Didn't look in the most obvious place because I'm a moron. I think Froyo had it (or at least the Atrix and Thrill did) but it's not on the GS2.

[Q] Phone remote control

Hello,
Just wondering whether anyone had any ideas on this.
I use a PC at work all day but quite often want to use GTalk to chat to people. Unfortunately my company blocks it so I can't use a browser to chat but obviously I can through my phone.
I used to have an HTC Desire that was rooted so that allowed me to use droidvnc to connect to my phone from my PC via vncviewer using USB(There's no wifi here).
It then meant I could type on my keyboard which makes things a whole lot easier when you're in the middle of something.
Basically now I've gone to an HTC One X I'm just wondering whether there's any app or anything that would let me do the same thing but without rooting the device as I don't want to invalidate any warranties just yet.
So in summary I'm really after a bit of software to let me remote control my phone via USB for the purpose of using GTalk or any other ideas anyone might have to get round it
Thanks

Automatic Information Capturing

I am in process of developing an application and I was wondering if there is a way to capture users information automatically. I am drawing up a spec of application functions that I am going to have a dev team produce so I do not have app dev skillsets. That being said...
My idea was that if an user downloads an application, starts it, and the app is automatically populated with the users' phone number, name, etc any basic information automatically. Google pairs the phone with specific accounts that store such information so the data is there. I am looking for a less intrusive way and more user friendly way of creating accounts rather than direct social media login integration.
Is this something that is viable? or is it against data laws? or not possible?
Please let me know if you know of any existing methods, or if you think it is even impossible.
THANKS! :highfive:

Thanks a lot! Now I will definitely not receive any feedback... How is this not a dev question... :silly:

Noob here: Can someone give me a quick how-to to a nice/simple/fast Android build?

Just bought this and it seems there are so many options to choose from and so many old threads.
I'd like a rom with 0 issues. I frequently will use contacts, check email, want condensed messages and calls, firefox, GPS, facebook, camera, bluetooth, usb storage, tethering, wifi-router.
Can someone please post an easy how-to?

There are no roms with 0 issues. Even WM has issues. There are no 100% complete (and easy) how-tos specific to a single rom as the only version that is officially released to the best of my knowledge is FRX07.1. The GBX version are better I feel (I run GBX nand as my daily)
Android SD is not to hard but corrupts it's data.img file easily if not shut down properly. Android Nand is challenging if you have never flashed anything before.
If you wrote your request like this, you would get a lot of more willing help.
"I am new to the flashing world. I want to learn, and I realize I will need to read a lot first. Could someone please direct me to the best and most current threads so I can educate myself. Thanks for all your help."
We are glad to help, and point you in the right direction. We do get tired of spoon feeding people in a dev forum.
Read all this, and then ask your specific questions and/or post in the thread that covers the Rom you are trying to load. Also the more info you give us when you have a question the better. Your carrier, type of phone, the trouble shooting you have done is all mandatory. Logs can be very useful too depending on what the issue is.

Moved to Android general - this had no business being in the CDMA section...
OP, perhaps you should ask a specific question, and it would be best to post in the build/ROM thread you're using - that way we don't have to guess what build/ROM you're having an issue with.
Thanks.

Hi everyone,

pointless post, fair enough he could search but also you couldve explained more about the rule/guidelines.also its said that if you have not anything useful to post then dont
- to the O.P i think you need to look in your messages folder and its somewhere along the lines of service messages that will need disabling
Was not talking about the first rule. People should not post before reading the rules, there's nothing pointless about that
pointless as in meaning your not helping anyone in any way,let the moderators do there job and if you get the urge to help them then rightfully press the report button and report it,
Thanks to the person that actually helped. Looking into it that way. The other guy, don't mini-mod.. He's right, if you want to report the post, go for it - otherwise don't try bump your post count up here.
Cheers
I'm also getting this. turned off all mobile broadcast options in settings and still getting them. they are only area codes like 020 or 0170 etc. or strings of area codes like that. quite annoying
Suggest one of the CM discussion threads .

Turn alert notification ON in mobile broadcast but untick everything else.
I have no idea why it's backwards, it just is.
Had the same problem (in UK too). Quick googling suggested to delete "Mobile Broadcast Receiver" application. Since then no broadcasts anymore!
