Recently found Llama, a great location aware application (based on cell tower, but with experimental option to locate by GPS) that let's you control almost every aspect of your phone automatically. It comes with some pretty basic examples, but this looks like it has a lot of options that still aren't clear to me how or why I'd use them (WiFi Polling anyone?).
I see there's a similar program that's popular, Tasker and it has lots of examples posted by users as to how they have configured that app. Tasker cost $6.49 while Llama is Free (or rather donation-ware, author asks only $1.30 donation - available in the market as well).
I've looked for any threads on examples from users as to how they have set-up Llama but found nothing (not even on the developers website). So I thought I'd start a thread and see if we can pull a list of useful events that people have configured in Llama. Might not be a direct lift and load onto your device, but may be great to stimulate ideas on how to get some additional value out of this app.
Here's one I've set-up. I had previously used Juice Defender but wanted to do basically same thing in Llama. So I created this:
This will turn off mobile data once screen is off (1 minute delay). It will then toggle mobile data on every 10 minutes so it can poll any email and other sync updates (will remain on for 1 minute).
This one goes along with the one above, when screen is turned on mobile data is turned back on.
Anyone else have some to share?
