Has anyone figured out how to enable "Personal Unlocking"
It was demo'ed at I/O. If you have your android wear device in range, it wont prompt you to unlock your phone.
I cant seem to find it, im running L preview.

i'm not sure it's available yet in the preview, wish it was since that is what i'm running, but if it is yeah more details about it would be nice to.
I'm pretty sure it's not available yet. It will be in the full release of L. I'm guessing it was just a demo at Google I/O and it's still too buggy or similar.
There are a number of apps that can do this. I use SkipLock and I have heard that pebble locker can do this. I don't however use L Preview as it really driver so I'm not sure if SkipLock works in the preview

True, I'm just using tasker and secure settings to unlock my phone when the watch is connected. When it's disconnected tasker checks whether I manually disconnected (cause I'm home and want the watch to charger eg) or whether the watch or the phone got stolen and then takes appropriate action (alarm, photo, tracking, password lock, etc)

Does anyone know if Pebble Locker or Skiplock has a on/off widget. I would like a one touch on/off feature for when I'm in the car, etc., and it would help to have one vs. having to go through serveral menus. I just installed Skiplock and couldn't find one, so I figured I would ask here.
Thanks.

Do you not wear your G Watch in the car? With skiplock just have your watch set as a trusted Bluetooth device and as long as it is connected you shouldn't need your phone's pin/password.

Sorry, maybe I should've been more clear. Yes, I wear the Gwatch in the car. But I only want to be able to use Trusted BT Device in the car and not when my phone is sitting my desk at work for example and I'm in range with my watch. Therefore, I'd like to be able to toggle Skiplock on and off with a toggle vs. having to find the app, start the app, click on settings, turn on the slider, close app. I don't see a on/off toggle in the widget gallery so I was asking if Pebble Locker had one or there was one with SL that I was missing.

If you have root I believe you might be able to do this with tasked and the secure settings plugin. Do you have a WiFi network at your work that you can connect your phone to? I think I might try to set this up on my own after I get off of work for the weekend.

Hi!
I'm looking for an app which directly activate or desactivate the wifi without going on the wifi settings screen, just a toggle.
I know there are plenty of them, but all of them just bring to the wifi settings screen.
i would like an app which acts exactly like "Stop the Music!" (as I'm a new member, i can't post the link to the marketplace..) when pinned to startscreen: it just stop music without showing any screen of the app (actually, very quickly..)
Do you think it's possible or WP doesn't allow it?
Thanks
I use "Connectivity Shortcuts" from App store. Works great. I have 2 tiles one for WiFi and one for Cellular data
Thanks for replying, but this app is acting exactly like the others, it just brings you to the wifi settings screen.
But when u read the description of your app, it is written that, at this time, it is not possible to put a direct toggle on startscreen..
Update News from the app developer said:
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Why dont you put toggles right on the startscreen?
A: I would love to do so but currently this is not possible.

Someone could me confirm that?
I'm afraid it's not possible at all at the moment. It's a matter of APIs I guess. Hopefully this will change with WP8...

I just finished programming my tec tiles. I have one for home, car, work and bedtime. I have set up pretty basic stuff. I am sure many of you out there have better and more creative uses that I would love to hear about. I am particularly interested in the ways people are using tec-tiles with Tasker. I have been using Tasker for a long time, but mostly I just feel stupid trying to set it up.

I got a package of them, but haven't really played with them much since I have been messing around too much with my device. Need to invest some time on them, but in the car I plan on having it turn on BT to pair with the HFK in the car, open music app so I can goto my podcasts (ditch my iPod). Home I will have it airplane mode, and turn on alarm clock. I know I have a few more things I want it to do for each but I have to give it more thought.

They are a brand of NFC tags made by samsung I believe. I went and purchased a set from www.tagsfordroid.com they are priced very well.

They are Samsung branded nfc tags. After further research I should have bought them elsewhere. But, I used a 50% off code so still not a bad deal. I have set up one for home by my door that turns Bluetooth off, wifi on when I get home... One for the car that does the opposite of the home one and launches Google Music. I also used Tasker to keep the screen on while I am in the car... One is beside to mute notifications... One is at work to turn off Bluetooth and wifi and lower volume. So far I am loving the one touch functionality. I am wondering what other cool things can be done.

I use NFC Task Launcher and it is the best one I have found so far. Don't know if you know or not, but you can do switches which have 2 tasks. so if you tap it once itll do like normal then the next time it goes to the second task. So you can have like in car first tap turn BT on, screen timeout off, google music. Second tap turns off BT, screen timeout 30 seconds, close google music, text wife that you made it where you were going safely.
Once I get my Note I'm planning on getting a set of NFC stickers/keychain. On the keychain I plan on putting a link to a certain YouTube video. Whenever someone with an NFC phone asks what I have tagged on there, they get Rick Rolled

we'll have a new keychain available at andytags.com in about a week! It's an NTAG203 chip so it's compatible with all phones, but I wouldn't use it with the Samsung Tectile App.
The Samsung Tectile app is okay, but there are WAY better apps out there (we keep a list of the ones we recommend on our website). The Samsung app writes a ton of extra info on the tag for no good reason.
Anyway, we have both Mifare 1K Classic tags (same as Samsung Tectiles) and the NTAG203 tags - all Android themed and in various colors.
The keychain has a black background with our own Andy the Android NFC Face logo in a glowing blue. Should be on the website by 2/1
I got a pack of the free textiles with the free flip cover promotion. I have one in the car to turn off bluetooth, start car home ultra and forward phone calls to the built in phone in car. I just started using Tasker to create a "normal" profile that un-forwards calls and a few other small things. That way I don't have to have another sticker in car to turn car profile off. And in case I forget to un car profile it, I can now so it one click from home screen with Tasker widget. Man that app can do a lot.

I use NFC task launcher, I like that I can run the changes from the app even without the tag, in case I forget.
I have:
One for bed, Task 1 turns on auto bright, ringer to 1, notification to 0, Task 2 screen to max, ringer to max, notifications to max
One for kids, Sends text to me letting me know they are leaving or have got home.
One for car, Task 1 turns on car dock/driving mode, BT on, media volume to max, wifi off, ringer to max, notifications to max(in case I forget my other tag), Task 2 car dock/driving mode off, media to 0, BT off
One for work, Task 1, ringer and notification to 1, WiFi on, Task 2, ringer and notifications to max, WiFi off
I think that is it.
I use one on my WiiMote to launch the pairing app, and another on my keys to boost brightness and disable wifi when I leave the house.

First off, how can I get rid of the little blue tab on the side with the icon shortcuts. I never use any of them. It would be great to be able to add my own app shortcuts to it but I could not figure out how. I am guessing that these are limited to only ones that are able to do the split screen feature.
Another question is, is there a program that can allow you to use your mouse and keyboard from your PC to control the phone, in a way that I have my phone next to the computer monitor, drag my mouse across over to the side, and the cursor appears on the android screen? Similar to Synergy (PC program)?
Is there a way to keep track of how much data you use over the 4g network? I don't want to go over my 2gigs a month.
I saw on a website that had "top 50 features of the Note2" that it has a feature where you can make the camera track your eyes, so that when you lay in bed, the screen does not rotate. Anyone know about this?
Also, I am pretty new to Android as this is my first smart phone ever. Is there a way to make google reader show pictures from blog artices, instead of having one app for slickdeals (iSlick) or another app for reading lifehacker articles? (Lifehacker unofficial)? I think I would use google reader if it showed pictures.
Has anyone started using Utter!? Seems like a great idea but I did not get very far with exploring it.
Sorry this is a big mess of random questions. Thank you for any input.
PS ~ I tried searching the android forum for how to control with pc mouse and keyboard but was unable to find something. I found AirDroid but i don't think that is what I am looking for.

Don't think this is possible the way you describe. They do offer a dock that allows you to plug in a USB keyboard/mouse to control the phone, but you can't have one mouse control both without unplugging it from one and plugging it in to the other.

You can't track JUST 4G usage, but you can track mobile data usage. Go in to Settings and then Data usage. You can even set an alert to warn you when you get close, and a limit that will disable mobile data after so much usage.

This is also in Settings, though under Display. What you're looking for is Smart Rotation. Smart Stay is also there and that keeps the screen on while you look at it.

Google Currents allows you to do news/feed reading. Not sure how it works, but it's listed as an option. Get it in the Play Store.
Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!

Does anyone know if there is an official Moto car mode app for this phone?
What do you mean car mode? If you look in the moto app there is driving mode which will do things automatically when you start driving.
I was wondering if they had something that changed the home screen to only show driving focused features like navigation. Something similar to what they did with the OG Droid, and I think last years Moto X.
Driving mode is it. It'll do a lot for you, but doesn't change the homescreen.
You want a dashboard app, then. Those don't come pre-installed here.

I use the original Google car home app. It does everything I need it to do. You have to create an icon with Nova to open the app first. But, I have it setup to turn on when my phone connects to my cars bluetooth. This option is in the car home settings.

I went into google now search settings and performed the voice training and enabled the option for hot word detection from lock screen and power off but it doesn't work. the only time it works is when i'm at the home screen UNlocked OR at the google now search area. Screen off or from lock screen detection simply does not work.
does anyone else notice this?
I don't have the nexus 9 but I did install the latest google now search and launcher from apkmirror .com and there was an always listening option in 'hotword detection' in voice settings of the google now. There was also the screen off detection option but it was greyed out. I had the always listening in all apps option enabled and it was working greatly but the next day I woke up and the feature wasn't working so I went into settings and discovered that both of those options had disappeared (not greyed out but freaking disappeared), its some kind of google restriction, they are remotely restricting users from using these features for some unexplained reason.
Maybe its the same for u or it might be something else.
Same here, bit worked arter reboot
It works for a while after a reboot, but eventually stops working after a couple hours.
Looks like a common bug, I've seen some threads about this same issue (and I'm experiencing the same problem, too)

there is an option in Google Now -> Settings -> Voice -> OK google detection ....a check box exists here stating:
When Locked
Allow "OK Google" to start a voice search or action from a secure lock screen
so, it would seem that this is what was intended. perhaps what they meant here was that the screen has to be on and not timed out. dunno.
Yes, but screen has to be on. Only nexus 6 and 9 support GN with screen locked and off
Google search from locked screen works for a while and then stops. It's done this on my s4 and note 3. It is defenetly supposed to work from secure lock screen. In Google now settings there is a 3rd check box and you even get a warning stating anyone may be able to unlock your phone.
Google needs to fix this issue. I'm not sure what's up with these companies making screwed up software. Where are the devs, and why are they getting paid if they can't make flawless software. When I crash My car into a tree trying to unlock my phone and I press a law suit against google I'll bet they will fix it. Always takes a law suit to fix ****.
Oh. Anyone notice every app you've ever paid for or downloaded is under my apps "all" what's up with "all" I'll file my documents in my office under the "all" folder and see how quickly I get fired...Thanks for allowing me to rant.
