    Task silent overwritten

    Hello. I have a common task for several projects. When exporting a project, the common task is exported correctly. But when importing a project, the task is quietly overwritten. Can the tasker show a warning or error that a task with same name already exists and interrupt the import? I have to first delete an existing task, export or rename it and then import project.

    REMINDER handling in CALENDAR INSERT action

    Dennis Pesin · 0 · Posted

    When I add event in my system calendar via "Calendar Insert" action, there is no option to turn on reminder for this event. My event is put into calendar, but for the calendar to remind me of it, I have to go to the calendar and turn on reminder manually, adjusting when the reminder should trigger. I want to turn it on and adjust in the tasker action.

    Wifi Near State Doesn't Work when Screen Off

    Randy · 1 · Last reply by Randy

    Device OnePlus CPH2399 ("Nord 2T") Android 12 Tasker version 6.0.10

    The state Wifi Near doesn't trigger when device's screen is off (device is locked). Only first after the device's screen goes on (device gets unlocked) does the state trigger. Other actions e.g. Beep, Perform Task, etc., can trigger when screen is off. Location Net context also can trigger when screen is off.

    Tasker should make a native workaround analog to Net/Cell Wake Screen.

    Custom Notification Icon can't use any variables

    Angelo Ornopia · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I tried creating a battery status of my Mi Band 5 using notify but I noticed that only % appears but the value of the variable is correct. (Ex: 26)

    I also tried putting the number manually, it works. But if I'm using variable, it's not working. I even tried using Variable set just to convert the match from A1 to another variable but it also doesn't work and it shows %b instead. Meaning, it's not really converting the variable into its value. Just %battery.

    Can't connect to adb wifi Error

    Randy Juber · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Small white flashing box at the bottom of Tasker everytime I open it. It says "Can't connect to ADB Wifi. Check here: https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/help/ah_adb_wifi.html"

    This happens when I have zero profiles enabled, and ADB Wifi is disabled in Developer Options. I tried adding a port in the Tasker settings, but the error never goes away. Issue started after upgrading phone to Android 13, and was not having this nagging error message when running Android 12.

    I've followed the directions on the link provided, but it works until Wifi Debugging is disabled (as I don't want it on), the phone is rebooted (scheduled

    Unable to launch apps in Android 13

    J B · 4 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have a Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G (not rooted). Previously on Android 12. Just upgraded to Android 13, on any tasks to launch apps, I get the error "Launch App: failed to launch com.sec.android.app.xxx". It doesn't read like a permission issue. Run Log just shows "err" on the launch app task.

    I've tried re-setting cache from recovery menu.  Also tried wiping data/cache for the tasker app.

    Any suggestions?

    Theming UI enhancements

    Paul M · 0 · Posted

    I have a couple of ideas for UI theming:

    1) Material You theme selection should include an option to have a 'light' main screen instead of the dark it defaults to. I'm guessing it's taken from the overall display setting on the device. 

    2) Selecting a colored theme, for example, Tangerine, should keep the navigation bar that same color instead of black. It lends to a nicer aesthetic and is similar to Material You theming.

    AutoLocation should not require Storage permission

    Ondřej Novy · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    AutoLocation plugin requires Storage permission during first start. After removing that permission manually, everything works fine. Only error message toast "Permission denied" is shown during AutoLocation app startup.

    Thanks.

    Add a STOP option to the Flash action

    StaffanT · 0 · Posted

    Often when debugging a task I use Flash to display status and variables, and many times, especially in loops, I also add a Stop action after the Flash. It would be handy to have a Stop option to tick within the Flash action itself. Yes, I'm lazy :-)

    AutoNotification - a Gmail notification button for "Read & Star"

    Ryan · 0 · Posted

    If it's easy to implement this, I'd love for it to be one of the button options.

    A seemingly more difficult but more user-customizable option would be for users to be able to assign an arbitrary number of actions to a single button (through checkboxes instead of radio buttons, e.g.) and then name the button.

    "Trial over" with degoogled phone, but I already bought it

    Ryan Delaney · 3 · Last reply by helprace.ald5o

    I've been using Tasker on this device for a couple years. I purchased it many years ago and installed it via Aurora Store. Now, this device is EOL and I'm trying to migrate my Tasker profiles to a new phone. However, suddenly tasker won't run because my "trial" has expired. This is aggravating because I just want to export my profiles.

    In this thread Joao said:

    Tasker's Google Play version works by quering the Google Play store if it's licensed. If Google Play is not present then that will happen. You can always switch to the direct-purchase version that you

    Old workaround possible for muting

    psisquared2 · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    On my Fairphone 4, Android 11, I ran into the known issue with Sound Mode -> Mute that you reported to Google in https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/205205662 (you can add the Fairphone 4 to the list of affected phones). I furthermore noticed that this old workaround on Reddit reliably sets the phone to Silent on my device:

    1. Set DND Mode "No interruptions"
    2. (Immediately) set DND Mode "Priority"
    3. Wait 50 ms
    4. Set DND Mode "Allow All"

    Not sure if it works on the other phones, but I found it worth mentioning.
