Just tried the Firefox beta. Definately an improvement and nice and smooth but the text size/word wrap when for example viewing this forum can't match chrome beta. This is on a sgs2.
 
Hi

I had a question about Tasker, but before forking out the £3.99 price I wanted to check if what I wanted to achieve was possible…

When I plug my phone into either the 12 V or USB socket in my car, I want Wifi, GPS, data, and Bluetooth to be automatically turned ON, also “Car Home” app launched, and possibly some brightness settings changed too, then returned to the previous state when I finally unplug it. Is that possible? Another awesome step would be to allow the trackball to wake the phone and disable pattern lock when charging, but I’m less hopeful about this.

I pretty much only charge my phone in the car now, and I use it as a sat nav and media player through the Bluetooth, so it makes sense to configure it more appropriately to save me some time and make it safer whilst driving.

Cheers
 
Anyone know of a better media player than the one that comes on the One X as stock??. Its ok the native media player but was wondering if there was a better one out there, something that would synch with my itunes collection ie plug my phone in and transfer my mp3s and movies over??

It looks like you can with the states + various settings - I'm only just getting started with it but certainly looks possible :) http://tasker.dinglisch.net/tour.html#states
