    Heads up for Android Q

    FYI:

    Tasker may have to ask users to disable this feature in developer options by turning on "Allow background activity starts." This is still a beta, so it's unclear how the restriction will take shape for the final release.

    Preferences interactions behaviors make it too easy to mistakenly change a setting while scrolling

    thomas · 0 · Posted

    In Preferences, the items with drop down menus (for example "List Item Dragging" under UI, or "Accelerometer" under Monitor)

    If you touch one of them, it opens the drop-down menu and allows you to select one of the options without lifting your finger.

    This is good for quickly changing settings with a single drag, but it also introduces a problem for scrolling.

    Namely, it makes it too easy to mistakenly change a setting when all you were trying to do was scroll up or down.  All it takes is for the user to start scrolling by touching one of the

    Why does Image rotate only allow 45-degree increments? Can you allow us to rotate to any degree?

    thomas · 0 · Posted

    I am working on a task where rotating an image by 45 degrees is nowhere near precise enough.  I need more precision with the rotation within the scene, since it is mean to follow the orientation of the phone.

    The functionality I'm trying to recreate is somewhat similar to a compass: no matter which orientation the compass is turned, its arrow always accounts for it and rotates relative to the frame, so that it always points north.  Similarly, I want to be able to rotate an image in a scene so that it accounts for the orientation of the phone

    Pixel 2 - Alarm clock icon showing in taskbar after update to v5.7

    Nicholas Semrau · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I first reported this in the Tasker Google Groups (including screenshot examples):

    https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tasker/9wIsrQqX2A0

    Summary:

    I've been a long-time Tasker user, and the recent update has resulted in strange behavior.

     

    I have two profiles I use to automatically control my volume settings while at the office. They activate when in range of the office WiFi during business hours, and during meetings. After the 5.7 update, both of these profiles show the alarm clock icon in the status bar, even though there is no alarm set. When I disable both of the profiles, the alarm clock icon goes away.

    Single MMS received causes multiple profile trigger events

    Harames · 2 · Last reply by Harames

    I use Tasker to play a sound for incoming texts (SMS/MMS), so that I can check for various conditions (first).  For example, if I am in a meeting I don’t let it play the sound.

    But, recently, there has been a change that I have been unable to resolve…

    Anytime I receive an MMS the sound gets played 2 or 3 times, whereas SMS still plays a single sound.  This has only been a problem since Android version 8 (Oreo).  Prior to that Tasker saw a single notification for each SMS or MMS.  Nevertheless, I don’t know if the change

    Turn Off bug with Android P

    Russell Wong · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I'm using Android P on a Samsung S8, and have been using the Turn Off feature for a few months without issue. After the 5.7 release, it keeps changing my phone's screen timeout to 1 second instead of just turning the screen off. So if I start using my phone, the screen keeps turning off if I don't touch it constantly.

    I tried adding a Device Timeout setting to the task as a workaround, but after the Turn Off runs in the task, it doesn't run the Device Timeout (even if I add a Wait for a couple of seconds).

    Timed profile no longer works

    Max · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have a profile that used to play a sound and vibrate every day at a specific time. It no longer works - I get no sound or vibration. I thought there might be something wrong with the audio, but that is not the case. I tried a timed profile that just posted a notification and it did nothing. Help!

    Profile: Water @ 4 (12) Time: 4:00PM Enter: Anon (13) A1: Notify [ Title:Water @ 4 Text: Icon:cust_animal_hippo Number:0 Permanent:Off Priority:5 ] A2: Play Ringtone [ Type:Notification Sound:Bolt Stream:5 ] A3: Vibrate Pattern [ Pattern:1,200,300,200,300,200,800,200,300,200,300,200,800 ]

    "Show notification Icon" doesn't seem to do anything either way

    Make tasks involving paid services flash a notification by default

    dafzor · 0 · Posted

    Add a option on payed services (sms, calls, etc) to flash a notification when used and have it enabled by default (option to deselect).

    This would be a safety net to avoid "rogue" tasks from racking up additional charges without the user being aware.

    My particular case was having a task continue to run due to issue https://tasker.helprace.com/i498-stop-doesn-t-work-when-making-recursive-task without me being aware since there's no visual feedback outside of tasker that it was still running, all while racking up insane communication charges (in the thousands).

    I just want to avoid anyone else to have to go through the same situation.

    Existing profiles are automatically enabled when you import scripts from Taskernet System

    pearhuman · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Sometimes, when you import Profiles/Projects (including profiles) from the Taskernet system, several existing profiles that have been disabled are automatically enabled. (As shown in the video below)

    I found that if the ID of profile in the import script is the same as an existing profile, the existing profile will be enabled automatically. For instance, in the script that will be imported below, the ID of the profile is 4. If there is an existing profile with an id of 4, in the case, the profile will be enabled automatically.

    <Profile sr="prof4" ve="2">     <id>4</id>     ... </Profile>

    2 Small Suggestions for Action "Take Screenshot"

    Zohar · 1 · Last reply by SmartPhoneLover

    Hi

    My phone's display resolution is 1920x1080. When I use the Take Screenshot action, a .PNG file is created, and its size is 3.1MB.

    I would like to suggest 2 small options for the Take Screenshot action:

    The first: Resize: will have 2 possible values: 50%, or 25% so choosing "25%" for example, will make the image file's resolution 480x270, instead of the original 1920x1080. this already will decrease the file size by 75%...

    The second: File Type: will have 2 possible values: .PNG, or .JPG so choosing .JPG, will further decrease the file size, and choosing .JPG is relevant

    Android auto messaging (support app??)

    Patrick B · 0 · Posted

    Android auto has limitations for 3rd party apps. Currently media and messaging are supported, navigation is sparse

    What I would like to be able to is retrieve notifications from certain apps and make them visible in Android auto.

    I can read them out loud already, but I would like to see them handled as messages. 

    For. Instance 

    A Co worker posts via slack.

    A notification is triggered

    This notification is captured within tasker (via autonotification )

    Tasker sends it (via support app? ) to trigger a card in Android auto

    Not able to remove Quick Settings Shortcut

    TM0NEY46 · 0 · Posted

    Currently, there is no real way to remove Quick Settings as icons in the quick menu drop-down.  You can temporarily make them not accessible by dragging down the icons, but similarly as the Quick settings menu is always accessible they can be accessed quite quickly by dragging them back to the top. Additionally, I discovered that by holding on any quick setting Tasker icon, Tasker will actually open up. From there Tasker can be disabled quickly which removes the whole reason for the having a specific scene I built for work mode.

    I suggest a toggle be added within Tasker
