    new v6 Airplane Mode toggle not working, Android 7

    Malcolm · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    This would be great for me (thanks!), but unfortunately it doesn't work on my phone: Android 7, Moto E4 Plus. I have Tasker set as Assistant and the android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS is enabled (I checked this using the Tasker app). When I run Airplane Mode toggle I get "Error 1, no way to toggle airplane mode, check notifications"

    Autoremote error in Microsoft Edge

    Toon · 0 · Posted

    Hi, I'm unable to get my personal key on the autoremote extension. I installed it on Microsoft Edge (through the chrome web store), that worked well. But when I open the autoremote extension options it keeps showing 'Error getting personal key. Refresh this page to try again. Please contact the developer if the problem persists'. Thanks in advance!

    App Factory (kid apps) crash/killed on Android 12

    Tasker user 434 · 2 · Last reply by Tasker user 434

    On Android 11, works fine.  On Android 12, works fine until a day or so later, when the notification is gone and the profile won't trigger.

    Using tasker and app factory 5.12.0, target Android version 26, basic permission set like LOCATION, NETWORK, WAKE LOCK, EXTERNAL STORAGE, etc. When installed it asks for location and storage permissions, and Display over Other Apps, which I grant.  I also disabled battery optimization.

    The Profile conditions only check for Display On, GPS On, and WiFi connected. 

    I know Android 12 has issues with killing phantom processes described here, but I've tried the fix using

    Activate logging seperately for a profile or a task

    Mart · 0 · Posted

    Make it possible to activate logging seperately for a profile or a task? In that case the logfile is't so big and it is easyer finding some entries.

    For example: With the installation of Tasker the logging is as it is now, but as an option make it in the settings of a profile possible to switch the logging of that profile off. If possible you can do that for the separate tasks also, but when the logging is switched off in the profile, the logging of the tasks from that profile are also off. But keep it possible to

    Custom location radius and shape, combining conditions, adding some events

    Marek · 1 · Last reply by Azek

    Custom location radius and shape:

    Some local areas like schools are not exactly 100m or 200m in size, nor are they perfectly circle, so I would like to see a feature to define custom radii when editing the location condition and a feature to create a custom shaped location, defined by 3 or more coordinates. This is because I don't want to turn on some profile when walking past my school.

    Combining conditions:

    Writing the first part, I realise that there is no feature to combine conditions like location and state, or time and event. This would be a quality

    Scene use of a temporary variable as Element Default value

    StaffanT · 2 · Last reply by Håkan Sjörling

    I have a scene containing a Number Picker element but I have found that I cannot set the default value using a temporary variable, as the keyboard only lets me enter digits. It would be good if a normal keyboard be displayed when selecting the default value field. This might apply to other element types as well. Thanks for listening.

    My phone does not allow incoming calls while tasker is running

    CHRIS BALSOM · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Just recently I was getting calls announced by Tasker but then it would immediately end call. I spent 2 days with my network provider thinking it was the phone. I tried my sim in a new phone and had no issues. 

    So I factory reset my phone and once everthing was reloaded without any permissions being given, it worked. Gave tasker the requested permissions and it faulted again. So I did some problem solving and factory reset again. Then loaded app by app back on to the phone. testing after each install.

    This is how I discovered that if I

    Problem running tasks from Google Assistant

    Dan Muller · 5 · Last reply by Xavier Care

    In my car, with the phone connected via Bluetooth, I can open Google Assistant by pressing the steering wheel button. I can then say, "Run <task name> with Tasker" and it will work, but only if the phone screen is on. If the screen is off, GA responds with, "Sorry, I didn't understand that".

    I believe this to be an issue with Tasker (rather than GA) because, under the same conditions, I can run other apps with no problem. Tasker is the only one that fails this way. Thus, it's a failure unique to the GA/Tasker integration.

    Some important information:

    Undocumented delay during sleep mode

    David Spector · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I'm a beginner. My device is TCL A3 and is sold by Tracfone. It runs Android 11.

    When I write a set of Profiles and Tasks to manage my screen power automatically, it works fine when rotating the device quickly. But when I leave the display in Off/Lock/Sleep mode for more than just a few seconds, the device stays off after I rotate the device (to turn it on) for 2 minutes 3 seconds.

    After trying many option changes, I discovered that turning system Do Not Disturb mode Off fixes the problem.

    This is not documented anywhere that I can

    Tasker with Autonotification on EMUI 12

    Andreas Krechel · 2 · Last reply by Paul Manning

    Hi.

    I'm using Tasker and Autonotification quite a while now and I love it.

    This week I got the EMUI 12 (still Android 10) update on my Huawei Mate 20 pro. 

    Now all profiles that are using Autonotification are not working anymore. 

    My guess is that is because Huawei changed the notification panel. There is now a seperate panel for notifications and quick settings. It seems that Autonotification no longer can read the notifications. 

    Is this a known issue? Is there a work around? 

    Thanks.

    music track changed - trigger also when music is started in Tasker

    schrott97 · 0 · Posted

    the profile music track changed works when the change is due to an external media player. When you play music with Tasker using  the "Music Play" task, the profile does not trigger (and therefore the song metadata are not available).

    Stop multiple tasks with a timer or a kill function and limit number of parallel tasks

    A. · 1 · Last reply by Sunny D

    Hi João, 

    I kindly ask you to implement a feature to stop looping tasks or tasks running indefinitely long to stop after a specific period. (Just the other day I had a task running for more than two thousand seconds, although it usually just takes seconds.

    In addition, I would like to ask you to limit the number of parallel tasks to a given number. I need more than one or two tasks but only a few of the same tasks running at the same time. For the time being, I can only say to stop the current or the new

    [ Sockets ] - Add Profiles and Actions to use sockets in Tasker

    GlitchYou · 0 · Posted

    Could add sockets to give an extra extension to receive events and kind of allow the user to create new events

    I think it could have a profile with the event type (optional)

    And it returns maybe even in %evtprm

    I would also need an action to start/stop the execution socket with the address (optional with localhost by default) the port and other fields I may have forgotten

    Tasker battery drain Samsung Galaxy S21 Android 12

    rma1rma · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi!

    I'm having problems with Tasker draining battery. I use tasks for auto sync every hour, Cell near for wifi, auto sync on when power any and a gesture to start a app fhen flip phone. 

    For some reason after few days, battery starts draining faster. When I disable Tasker, exit and remove it from background, start Tasker again and enable it, everything works again. Then after few days battery again starts to drain faster. When I do the described steps, it works again a few days and so on.

    I notice the battery drain in the morning, after charging

    Expanded text field for variable value

    Continuation from this reddit comment

    Can we have an option to expand text field for variable value in event context?

    https://i.ibb.co/fFPzDy0/1648669094.png

    It's hard to view the full value if it the text used is long enough

    Similar thig happen with variable search replace as well.
