    Color activation while tasks running

    insaned · 0 · Posted

    Would be useful to have color when a task is running (like the profiles have when active) as sometimes is handy to verify if tasks is running, particularly when inadverted infinite loops are create. Ofc if it's not resource heavy, even if only when tasker gui is open or as optional in settings.

    Support VoLTE on mobile network state

    Caio Lima Netto · 0 · Posted

    Currently, when the cell towers switch to VoLTE, they often disconnect other call radios (3G/4G). As such, tasks monitoring if I am connected will fail since network state does not support VoLTE. 

    Is it possible to add detection for it and thus a checkbox for VoLTE on state too?

    Notification Leds not recognised in "Alert, Set Light" Action in Android 8.1

    Nick Maverick · 3 · Last reply by Nick Maverick

    I tried to create a task where when I started "Car Mode", I would also light permanently the notification led in Blue color, so when driving I can check quickly if car mode is on and turn it off when car mode is off. 

    In Android 6.0 the action "Alert, Set Light" shows the detected available notification leds and I can use the action successfully, but in Android 8.1 (my new smartphone) the action was disabled, so I updated to the last tasker version and tried again.  The option became available, but there was no notification leds detected, so I could

    Wifi Near does not properly detect a Wi-Fi network with "/" character

    Dmitri Trofimov · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I noticed that the "/" character is used as a separator if one wants to specify multiple networks. Can it be done so that double-division sign is treated like a single division sign but as part of SSID?

    Better Links in Error Message Popup

    Stefan · 1 · Last reply by Stefan

    After activating the option in settings to show error message popups these are not very helpful. For example a popup tells me multiple times that a plugin is missing but I can't identify which one is not available. There are just numbers with links in the popup but clicking on the links make them show up in the dialer instead of leading to the profile or task with the problem.

    Add variable and context for battery temperature

    Stefan · 1 · Last reply by Stefan

    It would be nice to have a context and a variable for battery temperature. This could be used for warning the user on high battery temperature and also take appropriate actions (reduce brightness, activate powersave mode, etc. )

    "Tasker isn't Responding" (v. 5.6 on Oreo)

    Viale · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello João,

    I have been enjoyed a paid version of Tasker for years and recently subscribed to your AutoApps. However, in the last few weeks, Tasker is often freezing. Also, profiles that previously worked are suddenly freezing (see screenshot for examples of both). I have been using Tasker on Oreo (Samsung Galaxy S8+, v. 5.2) for almost a year, so this can't be the source of the problem. When the problem appeared, I verified that Tasker is excluded from battery optimization. I also reinstalled and then upgraded to v. 5.6, but the problem persists.

    More VPN tools

    Ralph · 0 · Posted

    The current VPN tools that Tasker supports is the firewall namely "Network Access". This tool is only limited to blocking and allowing apps to connect to the internet. There are a lot of features that can be added like Custom Filter by "NoRoot Firewall", a feature that can deny or allow certain IP's of a certain app for internet access. "HTTP Injector" that has a Custom DNS feature. These apps uses VPN for their features to work and I believe that the Tasker can make it too.

    Cell tower based profile switching on Android Pie

    S n · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    It seems, that detecting cell towers isn't possible in Android Pi anymore, when location services are disabled. According to the answer at https://tasker.helprace.com/i301-cell-near-does-not-work-in-android-9 i must enable location services all the time, wo get this working. Its also stated, that this does not use GPS. But isn't it in this case more accurate to switch to location based switching, instead of only cell tower? To my understanding, this would switch the profile in a radius of for example 300 meters around my position. But isnt this using more battery power? Or is turning on location services not using my battery at all, instead

    Disabling and enabling lines of code in Tasker

    Paul Thornett · 0 · Posted

    I am forever disabling various lines of code, then enabling others (I imagine I'm not alone in this!). This could be made more efficient by simply toggling the status of enabled and disabled lines in a single action. This would save quite a lot clicks over the course of a day.

    The Weather Underground says no more API keys to be issued. Specifically they are saying this:

    "To improve our services and enhance our relationship with our users, we will no longer provide free weather API keys as part of our program. If you have been directed to download our Weather Underground free API key by a third party provider, please contact your vendor for resolution."

    Could you update AutoWeb so we can use their new cloud services?

    Grant Document Tree Access nor working

    Ralf · 2 · Last reply by Ralf

    Android 6 (Marshmallow).

    When trying to write a file the alert appears that "grant document tree access" is necessary to perform this action next time without asking. Then the usual file manager is displayed where I selected external SD card.

    But tasker does not seem to be able to write to the file. The alert reappears instantly. If I select <back> I get an error message

    /storage/1234-5678 is external SD card. If I provide the full path to a file on internal storage it works (as expected).

    What's wrong?

    Wireless Charging not detected in All charging on Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5

    Dale Offret · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Love Tasker, been using it for over 7 years now across 5 phones.   My current phone is a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5, SM-G900V.  I have a Tasker profile that is designed to inform me when the battery is at 100% and is being charged by "Any" means.  The SM-G900V does not have native wireless charging capabilities.  I purchased and installed a 3rd party wireless charging add-on device for my SM-G900V.  When charging wirelessly, the Tasker state of charging "Any" for my SM-G900V doesn't recognize wireless as a trigger.  I created another profile of charging "Wireless[ly]" with the battery at 100%

    More direct integration between Tasker and Torque

    Greg Searle · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    There's a bunch of us who would like more direct integration between Tasker and Torque, an app that pulls data from an automobile's diagnostics port. At this time we only have a "hack," where Tasker reads the Torque logfile. This is very inefficient and introduces substantial delay into the data stream. For example, I use it to adjust the media volume on my phone based upon the speed of the vehicle (i.e. "dynamic volume), but the delay is several seconds and is very noticeable. A more direct data stream would eliminate such a delay and remove the inefficiencies of the

    Kid App Mode for all actions

    Ian Grody · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Is it possible to have a toggle in Tasker to enable a special mode that will allow access to all of Tasker Actions, including ones blocked out due to not supported?

    The idea for this is so say I am building a project on my device for another device, but don't have that feature on mine, I can access those options and add said functionality. If it is ran on mine, just silently say it succeeded and resume.

    Many thanks!
