So, seems that ever since I flashed to Nightly build 5+ (currently on 10) I have a weird option to answer phone calls. Everytime I get a call, I slide the tab to answer, then an in call voice prompts me to press 1 to answer and someother options as well. Is this a feature of CM7 or is this some weird bug like thing (lol) I'd really like to get rid of it so all I have to do is slide the tab to answer my calls, as having to press "1" to answer every phone call is kind of annoying

It unexpected, but nice at first. Now its just kind of annoying :\
I've looked thru the settings to see if there's a way to toggle it on/off but haven't come up with anything yet.

My problem is when the phone rings when I am doing something else on the phone, I have to use the pull down menu just to bring up the call to hit the slide to answer the call. The incoming phone call is not overriding whatever you are doing, so it is very hard to answer.

That is your Google voice integration. Either remove it or as mentioned above log in on a browser and change the option.

Is there a reason we all pretty much need to use Google Voice? Does Sprint not recognize our phones properly on CM? Before I activated it, I was not receiving voice mails properly. Sorry for potentially dumb question, I'm still trying to figure everything out here. Also, the Voice website says things about account balances... Does this in any way change my billing for Sprint, or cost extra or anything? Or is that stuff just for people who use Voice as their only provider?

No. I used Sprint voicemail on CM9 with no problem. I used to turn off notification and use the 9016 text as my notification. Sprint vvm for the Epic was made to run with Touchwiz, CM7,9,AOKP,MIUI are not Touchwiz. Alias8188 got the ICS version from the Epic Touch to work on these. But for those still having problems it is just easier to send you to Goggle Voice which has a deal with Sprint for integration so there are no charges.

I searched and could not find anything regarding changing the vibration pattern for an all stock note 2. Mine will only vibrate in a single long pattern, no matter what I set it to in the settings. I like to use the stock messaging because it's compatibility with the lock screen but I'd really like it to vibrate in a couple short pulses instead of that single long one. If I'm missing something I apologize but I have no idea what to change aside from the options in the settings menu. Any help or other information would be much appreciated, I'm sure it's something silly I'm missing anyway!
Go to settings- sounds-device vibration u can chabge it to a few different patterns

I am not sure! That is how the note 1 default notification vibrate was, the single long pulse. The sms mms one was a quick twin pulse, I'd prefer that! I like how the sms app works with the tw lock screen and launcher etc so I don't want to use another one if I can avoid it. I wish it would allow me to use a different vibration setting because my phone is silent a lot! I asked samsung and they gave me the ringtone answer. The service from the online chat is weak.

How did you get that to work? I tried setting the 'Lock timer' in 'Lock screen' under system settings to various settings other than 'immediately' as well as 'power button instantly locks' to on or off to no avail. All that happens is when I turn the phone on, it just immediately shows the app I recently had open.

It's possible we are describing two different use case scenarios. Do you have 'enable security lock' enabled in holo locker settings?
I would like it so that I can specify a lock timer in system settings to only bring up the pattern unlock after a set amount of time while at the same time always bringing up the holo-locker screen when I press the power button to turn the screen on (before the pattern/pin unlock comes up). As far as I know, the built-in slide to unlock won't show when you have a pattern or pin lock enabled (non-rooted). Sounds confusing when typing it out, does what I'm trying to describe make sense to anyone?
Not sure. I just cleared all my credentials and got the swipe back.

OK, I don't know what I did, but it finally started working the way I wanted to. Strange, I tried rebooting, waiting a while between turning the phone off/on, different setting configs and nothing seemed to work. Thanks anyway, just glad it works now.
Audio Improvement
I initially posted in the wrong thread, do you guys have any idea about DSP manager working on this phone yet? An almost perfect phone, save for the sub-par audio.
Recently I've flashed a couple roms and my phone started doing this thing where it reads (outloud) the number and the text that I recieve.
It's quite annoying, I've been through all the settings and can't find anything pertaining to it.
Can anyone help me with this?

Sms popup doesn't read aloud. Check svoice settings I forget what its called but theres a audio option in there that reads whats on the screen. I think its called voice mode or audible mode or something buried in the svoice settings

I love Tasker. And i mean love tasker!!! I would like to start a discussion on these setups and cool things to do with Tasker. More people need to buy it!!!!!!!
My personal favorite Profile is one i have setup for a received text with "gpson" in the message. It enables gps and starts polling where the device is going and replies with coordinates every 3 minutes to sender of last text. I use this just in case my phone gets lost or stolen. I keep it pretty stealth as well. It turns off all systems volume to make sure the robber wont hear it. Once again, i Love Tasker and please share your opinions. Post questions, anyone would be happy to help
I tried helping someone or a few weeks ago who wanted the screen to turn on when a kik message appeared, but I'm horrible at tasker. Could you look through the thread and tell me what might have worked better for it?

That is exactly what I would do.
Create Profile>Event>UI> Notification>(pick kik app)
After that add the task you mentioned about turning screen on through secure settings to the profile . That should work assuming a notification is received when a kik message is received
(TASKER MUST BE ENABLED AT ACCESSIBILITY SETTINGS)
Just tested this with messaging app and it worked perfectly. Leave "Title' blank when choosing app/apps

Sweet, I'm glad it worked. That was my first foray into the world of Tasker.
Back to the original thread topic: What are some things that you think people might want to see come from Tasker?
One of my biggest blocks in using it effectively is that I don't even know where to begin. I could set it up to automatically turn on wifi when I get home, but it's really not that big of a deal for me to just hit a toggle on the notification panel (same thing with using NFC tags, for me at least). I do like the lost phone texting option, but I haven't lost a phone (or gotten it stolen) in the last 10+ years of having a cell phone.
Maybe I'm just simple in my needs/wants from a cell phone, but I just don't know what type of Tasker automation I'd use regularly. Any suggestions?

Its rare that phones get stolen from geeks like us but I just have it just in case one of my buddies pull a trick or something. Its good to have just in case. However, misplacing it happens quite often for me at least. So I created a profile to listen for "ringplease" and it turns on the screen and unlocks it, then turns media volume all the way up and plays a song of my choice (No Worries by Lil Wayne) lol
Very very simple, but effective for me at least

That's a good idea, I typically leave my phone on silent (don't want it ringing loudly while at work). When the phone is between the couch cushions, I can't just ring it and listen for it. If I have a text code I can send, I can have it turn the volume all the way up and blast "call me maybe" (as a joke, of course). I just can't give that code to my friends, or else they'll send me that code when I'm in a meeting at work, haha.

Exactly!!! I also have one where when I put it in my pocket (upside down) and if the screen is on, it turns off. That one is one of my favorites!

I feel that Tasker is a bit under rated. People just don't realltly take the time to learn how to use it. Its so powerful!!

I think a lot more people would use tasker if the xml files were made more centralized and available for the general user. I myself was struggling, but have it doing a few nifty things.
1) turn on wifi when near my local (home) cell tower.
2) disable wifi when no connection established for 20 seconds
3) enable screen rotate in certain apps (since I like mine in portrait normally).
4) enable bluetooth when docked in the car and disable after disconnecting
5) turn off all sound when sitting on my qi charger
6) allow calls from certain people even in silent mode (ie emergency calls from family)
7) play unique ringtone for people not in my contact list
Haha, I just use Where's My Droid, it has the built-in ringing functionality where you can text it a codeword if you misplace it / lose it, and its also great for when you ACTUALLY lose it lol

But this is waaaaayyyy cooler it took me weeks to figure it out to. Lol. The GPS thing. Cause I never found a ROM that allowed it without using secure settings! Until this week!

Its rare that phones get stolen from geeks like us but I just have it just in case one of my buddies pull a trick or something.(hiding) Its good to have just in case. However, misplacing it happens quite often for me at least. So I created a profile to listen for "ringplease" and it turns on the screen and unlocks it, then turns media volume all the way up and plays a song of my choice (No Worries by Lil Wayne) lol
Very very simple, but effective for me at least
Us teenagers are quite irresponsible when it comes to our stuff!

God, I wish I could figure out how to do this. I would buy the app for my wife (who constantly misplaces her phone).
I have tasker, and I use it to "clock" in and out of work. I have it save the time stamp to my work calendar.
