Thanks all. Inputting source feeds wasn't what I had in mind. Was hoping for something "off the shelf". What sources would one use for SA current affairs? 702 and the like? Sorry for the dumb, off-topic question...

I set up a feed list on feedly and then use greader as the news aggregator
 
Hey All,

Is there an upp i can get that can enable certain functions when i pop my S8 on the wireless charging dock?

So for example, i want it to take off "Power Saving" mode so the Always on display goes on, as well as turn on silent etc.

I've actually had IFTT for some time, but never knew how awesome it actually is!!

With you on this. Believe Tasker is more appropriate, but with added complexity. My understanding of IFTTT is one trigger = (ONLY) one response.

Correct, at least for then it's if this then that, no and that and that and that as well. Lol

I use tasker for such things, or used, the newer the os the more limited tasker abilities become with Google locking more and more features behind the system layer, so sans root you SOL.

And that's why Bixby should be able to do this, since he is on the S8
