    Run shell timeout not work

    Lazypawn4012 · 1 · Last reply by Lazypawn4012

    I saw the Old Discussions at forum, it has no meaning...

    https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/tasker/DeEHhw2emao

    Today I runned a shell script about "Getevent" -same as above discussions- with 5 sec of timeout. But it doesn't timeout.

    And it worked on my device earlier, but after several updates, some months, today, it doesn't.

    +

    I performed above as task, give a stop action to that task, it doesn't stop itself.

    ==============================

    So, the result is... you had an mistake with root permission.

    A shell script action with root permission can't be controlled by tasker, th owner app.

    It just can be excuted by, but

    HTTP Request through a proxy

    Danil · 0 · Posted

    Route a HTTP Request through a proxy like it can do with a CURL. For example this is necessary to send requests to blocked servers. In Russia is a blocked api.telegram.org. If I need to send a message from my bot, I must be use a VPN or i need do http reruest with a curl through a proxy. I think there are a lot more uses for that.

    Increase history items for "cell near" context

    269red · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Dear Joao,

    I work a lot with Context "Cell Near" e.g. to detect work places,...

    To set the cells for my wifes place I look at the context in the evening when she comes home.

    Sadly the history (in the cell near context magnifying glass) is to short and so does not show the cells from in the morning. Could you please at least double, better tripple the history or make it a preference.

    Ability to choose time format

    I prefer using tasker in English, but changing the language also changes time format to 12 hour. I am not used to it, my country uses 24 hour format and that is what I am used to. So you can imagine how much of a pain it is to set events based on a time. Could you please add the option to choose time format in future releases?

    Chop Gesture

    I'd like a "chop" gesture, like the double-chop gesture Motorola uses for toggling the torch.  Similar to the action you would use with a small hatchet, or bouncing a hammer off the head of a nail.  Each "chop" is a short, abrupt, single shake down and back up.

    The gesture should have settings for:

    1. Sensitivity (how aggressive and/or fast the chop must be) 

    2. Number of "chops".

    The current "shake left to right" gesture doesn't work as a good replacement.

    "Add to Home screen" for tasks

    Amit Kotlovski · 3 · Last reply by Gan

    I use the KISS launcher which is a minimalistic take on launchers. No icons on the page except a bottom row of "favourites", and a search bar that searches installed apps, contacts, settings, etc. When using browser apps I can select "Add to Home screen" and that website is added as a "Desktop shortcut" which makes it available in the launcher search results. It would be great to have Tasker add tasks to the Home screen in this fashion! Widgets, btw, are not a good fit as the widget support is minimal (can add only one at a time, it takes up

    Ability to choose which camera on the rear to use to take a picture

    That guy · 0 · Posted

    I have 3 cameras on the rear of my phone. I'd like to choose which one tasker uses to take photos.  That way I can set my phone up to take different kinds of shots underwater. Also being able to lock the focus to a given distance would be nice as auto doesn't work well under water.

    Tasker popup notification requesting missing permission: Root Access

    Gicci · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Since a few days I get popup notifications stating that a required permission is missing, listing the "Root Access" as the needed one.

    Of course that's not an Android permission which can be granted, so the message is already confusing, and no action is performed when clicking the notification.

    It would be good at least to display which is the action that is triggering that request, so that the user could check and modify it.

    I am using a Samsung S10 with Android 9.

    Gestures and shake actions broken

    Trac Fone · 2 · Last reply by Chis

    Across multiple phones and Tasker versions, I have never found shake and gestures usable - either the false positive or false negative rate is much too high or it simply triggers the action when I'm positive it couldn't possibly have been performed.

     

    One consistent bug I have noticed is that shake actions trigger when I pick the phone up off my desk after it's been motionless for a while. Sometimes when performing a gesture, the action starts triggering over and over again as if an infinite loop, as if some flag that should tell Tasker that the action was

    XMLHttpRequest() and fetch() in Javascript(let) returns nothing sometimes

    Jason Lim · 3 · Last reply by Jason Lim

    I would first like to acknowledge that I might be getting something absolutely wrong here.

    The code below will have the following results in chrome (accounted for CORS):

    • results[0-8].fetch = "..." // contains something
    • results[0-8].xhttp = "..."

    but will have the following results in Tasker:

    • results[0-4].fetch = "" // undefined
    • results[0-4].xhttp = ""
    • results[5-8].fetch = "..."
    • results[5-8].xhttp = "..."

    Few things to note:

    • An observation will be that something is only returned if the URL doesn't end with "html" or a sever directory.
    • The results here are the same with a POST request too.
    • I currently have no workaround other

    New text messages not spoken when received

    Kyle Hunt · 2 · Last reply by Kyle Hunt

    Hi,

    I have a Tasker profile that speaks new text messages while I have a bluetooth connection to any device.  Since migrating to my new S10, this profile stopped working.  I've seen this issue on reddit, but after following the links posted and trying all the steps, it still doesn't work.  Below is a list of settings that I've checked.  Am I missing something?  Thanks in advance for your help!

    Proximity sensor not working - profile state always "active"

    Michi · 6 · Last reply by Mike Frame

    Proximity sensor detection not working on xz2 compact.

    Profile says proximity sensor is always active, even when its not.

    Is it the same issue/bug as on S10+? (there was another solved question with the same issue.)
