Q. I want to set a profile for my mobile data to automatically turn off Monday-Friday from the times 9 am till 5 pm and then at 5 pm turn back on. How is this done? Please give step by step instructions.
A. First I have Tasker version 4.1u3m for android 4.0 and above. If you have a different version, the steps might be slightly different.
1. Once you open tasker, press the middle tab labeled 'Tasks'
2. Press the plus sign at the bottom and it will make you name the task. While the name doesn't matter, I used the name "sleep" because I use this same profile from midnight to 6am.
3. You will then be taken to the task edit screen. Press the plus sign again and action category will come up. Select data, then net, then "Mobile data". The phone will then take you to a screen that gives you the choice to toggle on/off. Select off and then press the back button. This will take you to the task edit screen again.
4. Repeat step 3 for the wifi and (if you want) bluetooth. What you have done is told the phone what you want it to do, but now we have to tell when we want it to happen. If we don't tell it when, then it will never happen. Press the profile tab at the top of the screen.
5. Press the plus sign at the bottom. You will be given the choice of profiles, and you will select time. Select the start time and end time for this profile - in my case start at midnight, end at 6am. Press back to go to the profile screen. You can now select the task - sleep (or whatever). Then all you have to do is toggle the on/off switch on the right of the screen. You have now told tasker to turn off wifi and mobile data overnight.
6. Setting this up for work would be similar except after you set up the time in the profile you have to select days of the week in the same profile - otherwise it will be 7 days a week. Because you have to select certain days of the week you can't combine this with the sleep profile.
Notes - First, when tasker is done with a task, it puts things back the way it found it. For instance, if wi-fi is turned off at 11:59, it will not turn wi-fi on at 6:01. Second, sometimes if you try and change things mid profile, tasker gets real confused. If you wake up at 3 am and try and turn on wi-fi, tasker will try and keep it off. The second best solution is to turn off the profile in tasker, then reboot the phone, then turn on wi-fi in that order. The best solution is to make sure you're sure about the time you set it for. Finally, have fun with tasker. 98% of the stuff you can do with a GS3, you can do with an iPhone. The other 2% is stuff you can do with tasker. Have it read texts to you during rush hour. Have it automatically open angry birds when you get to your nephew's house. Have the phone display your ex-girlfriends name when the phone rings, but say "The b*tch is calling". There are limits to what this app can do, but I haven't discovered them yet (other than GPS, but that's another story).
Is the Samsung galaxy s3 really worth it?
Q. I'm like super stressed over this idk why...But my mom and I got it today, she has an iphone while I got the galazy s3. She was basically rushing me and I just decided on the s3 after a bit of talking with the store worker.
I saw there are a lot of good reviews, but also bad. So..is it REALLY worth it? If you've only had the phone for like a week then idk if your advice will help me much if you say it's awesome...
Plus, it's mega huge!! Like 2x my old phone, and I have small hands so this is kinda annoying...
I think the camera isn't so bad, it's not laggy so far, but idk about the batttery life yet. I have a case for it as well...Idk guys I'm rlly stressed, is this REALLY a good phone for me? I hear it breaks quite easily nd I have a case but I'm really clumsy, as well as bad reception... :'(
If anything, I was thinking of going back to get the galaxy s2, because the size is so much more functional that the s3.
I have small hands and usually keep my phone in my back jean pocket since I dn't always carry around bags/purses.
Idk....I'm in a state of confusion and stress lol, from other variables as well.

I don't rlly go to watch videos very often on my phone since this is the first smart phone I've had. So getting used to that fact alone then all it has to offer....yes yes, mock me :p

A. Well I wanted the S3 but I didn't get it. Anyhow based on what I've read, the pros outweigh the cons. The screen size is ideal while the display is clear and attractive. I think the clear display is a pretty great quality for a phone to have especially if you tend to use your phone to watch movies / videos, surf the internet or play games.
One issue with the S3 that I've come across a lot online is apparently the screen cracks by itself. Some people claimed that they never dropped it or hit it against anything but it happened. Besides that, short battery life is another issue but that's a common issue with most smartphones. The very slim and longish design does make it look fragile but I think overall it should be a really good phone.
What is the best tablet in your opinion?
Q. for me, i think it's Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 because i can play, watch movies, design pictures and even use it in education!
A. O.S:
Android. If you want Windows 8 stick away from them for a while this video will explain everything very well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_wrAzhVKPw . or just avoid the surface RT tablets due to software compatability issues and wait for the tablets with x86 processors to become available. Don't go with Apple unless you understand other options and better value (my opinion).
Most powerful:
Asus transformer. Great design, powerful hardware and most up to date Android OS. Can do everything the Galaxy note can bet better and faster. 10-11 inches. hefty price tag though. can be used in conjunction with a keyboard for word prossecing and other educational uses.
Portable:
this would go to the Nexus 7. Excellent size and powerful hardware as well as feeling great during use. Dimesions are proportioate and a variety of cases are available. Asus made and google marketed and funded to make quality control at utmost importance. cheap and high quality ($250 AUD). beware that it is in its first genereation and educational uses may be impractacul.
Tips:
Avoid any unknown O.S.' (Operating Systems). The most well known and the best are Android, iOS and Symbian with the most progressing and future proof being Android. Unknown O.S' (e.g. some HP tablets include an unheard of O.S") have limited app support so hardly anything is developed for them due to limited market.
Shop around. Spending time researching your purchase is always a good idea. Get the best deal and don't forget about added costs of accesories, warranties and software. Check that the product your looking for has the desired accessories available and at least has as little proprietary ports as possible, but that is not a nesscity.
Avoid gimmics. Don't by a tablet because you can do a task that has limited capability. i for example chose the 3-d option on my laptop but find myself hardly using it. if you are comparing 2 or more tablets and one has more practical functionality than go for it.
Storage and compatability tips:
if you must decide on 2 similar tablets, i would choose the one with external storage capability. This means you could but a micro sd card into the machine and expand your storage.beware of the Andorid market as each different model or brand will likely feature different chargers or device connecters.
Other tips:
- Buy within your budget. Don't splurge to get the bleeding edge, get what you require. most tablets will fit your requirements of video, picture editing and educative uses.
- Avoid first generations. They can sometimes be buggy or low on features when compared to other tablets.
if you're looking for mobile internet connectivity, possibly get your tablet on a plan.
cheers and hope this helped and sorry for the miss spellings, i was in a rush :P
