When migrating to a  new phone the settings don't get copied over with Samsung Smart Switch. So, I tried creating a manual backup on the old phone, which creates a local file backup but the manual restore option looks for a Google drive backup.

Please sync up manual backup and restore options.

It's quite tedious selecting lines of code with a finger. It seems to me that the slightest movement while executing a long click in order to select the first of a block of lines results in that line not becoming selected. Subsequent lines are, of course easy to select and deselect once that first line has been successfully selected. A little square box in the margin against each line could be ticked or unticked to cause the selection or deselection perhaps?

I use Vysor so i can edit using a computer.  The only minor annoyance is that I have a display sleep setting on my phone for 2 minutes under normal circumstances (sometimes i need more than 2 minutes to think before i keep adding stuff lol).  Of course, we are unable to modify 'display on' settings for Tasker using a Tasker profile itself, so can there but a UI checkbox item to force display always on when Tasker is active and return to previous display sleep setting when Tasker is not active on screen? 

I use latest Custom Quick Settings and Tasker versions on Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus (SM-G901F), LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1).

Custom Quick Settings tiles like reboot and reboot recovery work from quick settings, but using them in Tasker has no result.

Please, make switching LineageOS profiles possible by Tasker.

When I tap on the help button in Tasker I often get "page not available". Because I use German system language Tasker help links to German help pages. That's nice, but many pages seem not to be translated.

Please, if there is no German help page but an English one for an item redirect to the English page.

Thank you very much.

When a 'get voice ' action is run and Tasker has not been closed (by backing out) and is in the background,  the action will bring tasker to the foreground and show the get voice input promt. This will not happen if tasker has been closed by using the back button prior to the action running.

I have an Android 5.1 phone where the End Call action works properly. I have another Android 5.1 phone where Tasker shows the End Call action as disabled. However, in the past I was able to import a task that included the End Call action into the disabled phone and the End Call action would still work. Now when I attempt this, the End Call action just brings up a notification saying (paraphrasing) "End Call action is disabled on this device." It would be nice if Tasker attempted to perform the End Call action even if it is deemed disabled

Does not work on Moto E4 or Samsung S8+ %DEVID returns NQ... correct value %DEVMOD returns SM-G955U %DEVTID returns %DEVTID

same behavior in v5.6 I don't know how far before v5.5 this stopped working

If tasker is disabled and I wanto to enable it I touch "Enable Tasker" from app menu. This doesn't enable the app. To actually enable it, after enabling tasker from the menu, I have to click on any profile and then to confirm the action through the tick that appears on top bar. At this point Tasker enables itself and everything works right

On this web page { https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/activity_main.html } if you click on "menu options" you get to { https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/menus } which says "The requested URL /userguide/en/menus was not found on this server."

Hi João,

While using Tasker, I kind of felt that if there was an option to colour code the related tasks, then it would be really helpful for people like us to easily identify the related tasks.. For Eg : if I use a task to show wifi notification using AutoNotification and I add the cancel wifi button function to it, then the cancel wifi functionality is implemented using another profile right? Which will have a cancel wifi task to it.. These tasks if colour coded like having the same colour blue or something then it makes easier for us

I've noticed that since the last upgrade(s), there's a problem with the sequence of the enter/exit tasks.

I wondered why some of my profiles didn't work exactly as they used to work and suspected some tasks not to be performed or performed more then once.

To check this i added counters to each enter and exit tasks on the profiles which gave a problem. These counters count one up each time a task is executed.

This confirmed my assumption that sometime the enter tasks where performed but that the exit tasks never where executed when the profile was deactivated and

Hello,

The "scan media" action does not seem to work on my "Note 8" with Oreo. I believe this is a bug that needs to be addressed.

Instead, I am using the following shell command with root:

am startservice --es volume "external" com.android.providers.media/.MediaScannerService

There is also an app that works for the "scan media":

I want to play a random song from a folder when I shake my phone and it usually works but sometimes it just doesn't play a song. I turned off random to see if it always happens at the same place and it happens after all the other songs have been played once.

Hi!

Just purchased Tasker and really like the possibilities. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S9+ and want to rotate and change display brightness when launching a defined app. But no actions is executed. Also used the ADB Tool (Galaxy S9+ Developer Settings activated, USB Debugging enabled) to send the command to activate android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS like recomended in the guidelines. Still no success. Simple Tasks (like Beep, Pop-Up) work perfectly. Also activated logging - don't see any Errors there.  

What am i missing?

Can I arrange them vertically?
