In response to My Favorite Android App: Tasker<\/a>, one reader asked how I set up my battery conserving profiles. These are totally a work in progress (and if someone has suggestions for how to streamline them, I’m open to hearing people’s thoughts). <\/p>\n

Terminology<\/h2>\n


These are not official names for the icons. These are just what I’m calling them. <\/p>\n


This is what I’m calling check<\/b>. <\/p>\n


This is what I’m calling X<\/b>. <\/p>\n


This is what I’m calling plus<\/b>. <\/p>\n


This is what I’m calling bolt<\/b>. <\/p>\n


And this is what I’m calling tag<\/b>. <\/p>\n

I’d also like to throw in a disclaimer<\/u> here that I am not trying to replicate the exact behavior of Juice Defender. I just found with JD that the bulk of the savings was in turning off data when the screen is off, so this is a modification of that. <\/p>\n

User-defined global variables<\/h2>\n

I’m not a programmer, but I do understand some basics of how to use variables, and I think the way I use these I actually had to define them. (You can find on the Tasker website a list of variables Tasker comes with<\/a>—that is, ones you don’t have to define yourself.) <\/p>\n
