more than two modes in MyModes? - myTouch 3G Slide General

Is it possible to have more than two modes in mymodes? I have a work mode, a home mode and a night mode. They are set to switch based on time, as location based switching does not allow for manual input of location, and there is a small overlap of time in the morning. I assume that is the issue.
It seems when you are setting the time to switch, you have to choose a default mode, which in theory works, but this does not allow for three modes. Needless to say, my night mode didn't switch on tonight.
Anyone aware of this, or have a fix?
Thanks

When you are in myModes you can add a new Mode, but make sure you rename it, because it will default to "Home". From there set up your settings for that mode. Hope that helps.

CM10 Battery Drain and Feature Request

Hi there,
I installed CM10 (thanks a lot for it by the way) this morning and it seems my display sometimes just activates without reason. At first I only noticed the device being extremely warm, so I check battery usage and 92% of it have been "display". The device went from 95% to about 50% in a matter of a two or three hours with me not using the tablet at all in that time. When I checked again a little later, the display was active, although I am sure I had sent the device to sleep mode.
Also, here are two features I would like to request:
1. Please add a way to rotate the lockscreen
2. Please add Mobile Data as a switch for the quick settings (the one you get to by "clicking" the clock). It is rather annoying to go through the menu to activate / deactivate it...

OK, found the fix for that problem... the other one still stands
And I have got an additional issue now:
my Mobile Data Connection doesn't work. My carrier is o2 Germany and the stock ROM had some issues with that carrier as well a while back. Maybe it is the same problem?
For now I am switching back to stock, without mobile data, the tablet is only half as usefull, even with the otherwise better ROM
Add your APN Setting manually and it works nice. They are in the 3G Settings. I even had to just add a almost empty one to make things wake up again.

I have actually experienced the opposite--battery has been outstanding since flashing the ROM. I usually turn on Airplane mode when I am not using the phone, and am certain to turn off WiFi as well. Try that and see if it makes a difference. Also, be sure you are charging with an appropriate charger!

Thanks, that solved the 3G issue and, as far as I can tell after one day, the issue with the screen activating, as well.
For the other point, being able to activate / deactivate the mobile data easily, I found Power Toggle (can't post link, just look for it in the play market or remove the blanks: ht tps://play.google. com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc) which can add a widget to the notification area that works great
You can add more switches to the menu popping up when clicking on the clock. Thats what I did. Its in System -> Notification Bar (Or something like that, I use it in German ^^)

[Q] Is there a way to just turn off cell but keep wifi on?

Kind of hard to explain what I want, but when I'm outside using my phone, and then come inside the house I want to keep the wifi on, but turn off the cell antenna to save battery (I find with just wifi on, the battery lasts a long time). I know I can do this by checking airplane mode, but then that turns off wifi, and I have to re-enable wifi, sort of a 3-4 key stroke that I'm wondering if I can do in one?
I've tried power toggles, but couldn't see the option for what I want to do with it.
You could use an app like Tasker, or Automateit (<---has free and paid version). You could have it execute a task when you enable AP mode that turns wifi back on. You can get pretty creative with the tasks as well. I haven't set it back up on my N4, but on my previous phone my need to enable/disable anything was nearly eliminated.
Thanks CMNein, I'll have a look at Tasker.
NFC tags.... I use Samsung Tectiles
You can Program a tag to go into airplane mode and turn wifi on

See if Plane Mode Tweaker works for the Nexus 4. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wordpress.chislonchow.airplanemodetweak
It allows you to configure airplane mode so it won't disable wifi automatically. Also allows you to use bluetooth in airplane mode if it's locked.
I've read that apps to control airplane mode don't work, at least with the stock firmware.

I'm still using an HTC Sensation, but I've got a battery of apps to automate turning airplane mode and wifi on when at home, and back off when away.

*NOT MY WORK *
A rooted phone. It will not work on a non rooted phone since Secure Settings has to be installed in a non standard location.
Tasker installed
Secure Settings installed
When creating a task in Tasker you can now once again select what radios to disable when aeroplane mode is activated. Here is how to do it.
Open Tasker
Go to the task tab
Create a new task
Click the + sign to add a new action to the task
Click the plugin option
Click Secure Settings
Click edit button next to the label "Configuration"
Scroll down to the helper functions
Select Airplane Mode Radios
Tick the radios you want to disable when aeroplane mode is activated
Click the save button in the lower left corner(it looks like a floppy drive)
Repeat 4-8
Click Airplane mode
Tick the radio button for "on"
Click the save button
Now test the action by clicking the play button in the lower right corner
Watch the aeroplane mode icon showing up and the WiFi still staying active(if fyou selected to only turn off the radio in step 10)
Now you can use this task in any profile.
Closed at OP request.

Challenge: how to trick Android 6.0+ time & date?

Hi Guys,
I have a very specific challenge for the ones who know more than me.
Problem statement:
- I'm a diabetic and wear a certain glucose sensor which can se scanned via NFC with the mobile phone to measure blood glucose. It can be scanned either via manufacurer's app, or other 3rd party apps (like Glimp)
- problem is that this sensor is "set" to only last 14 days, on the dot!
- I've figured out that this "duration" is highly dependant on the time/date of the Android device/time of sensor activation: if I set the time back a few days it will show more time left of the sensor but the app has a built-in feature which does not allow me to scan the sensor if the Android's "Automatic time/date detection" feature is turned OFF, hence the predicament
The Challenge is to trick the app to think the app into thinking the "Automatic time/date detection" is turned ON, while being able to alter the device's time (into the past) so it would allow more run time days out of the sensor (which is quite expensive to replace and otherwise seems to be able to work just fine for a longer period).
Would this be possible? It would sure help me a lot!
try the next:
-turn off time/date auto update
-set up date what you want
-enter airplane mod... make sure wifi turned off too
-turn on time/date auto update
hit thanks if it working
Hi,
Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately, the time sets back to current time once I re-enable Automatic time/date.
Wifi/4G OFF + Plane mode ON.
@yussuf007 - you da' man!
With a little bit more tinkering I managed to fool the thing. Procedure is the following:
- enter airplane mode ... no need to turn off wifi/4G, they will be off once airplane is enabled
-turn off time/date auto update
- set up date what you want
- RESTART PHONE
- turn back ON time/date auto update
- turn back ON NFC
- Scan sensor. The thing now thinks it's back in time and works fine.
Thanks again!

BUG: Automatic night mode not working properly

When set to automatic, night mode has been randomly not turning off after sunrise. In another case, it didn't turn on at sunset. In both cases, there was a buffer of several hours.
Same here, oos 9.0.6, night mode set to auto from sunset to sunrise, and it always turn on.
This just happened to me now for the first time. Nightmode set to go on automatically but it didn't activate for some reason.
I'm on stock TMO firmware and at times nigh mode turns off after sunset.

same for me, night mode behavior is erratic. I have to manually deactivate it quite often.
No probs here. I set it to specific times. Never had a problem with it, nor did i need to manually turn it on or off..
On 9.0.6
No problems here, using with automatic sunset and sunrise.

Now in the morning it didn't deactivate when it should have. I filed a bug report with oneplus.
