    Adjust ringer volume > 0 WITHOUT SOUND!

    Dtgames · 5 · Last reply by Dtgames

    Using Tasker to adjust ringer volume to anything > 0 automatically plays a sound.  Checking 'sound' in the task plays an additional sound.

    I use Tasker for automatic sound profile switching based on several factors including orientation, day of week and time of day.  Every time a task sets the ringer volume to anything other than 0 I get this 'beep' and it is incredibly annoying when it happens 3-5 times a minute when orientation changes enough to trigger the task

    When creating a Set Alarm task, include settings for Google Assistant Routine

    Brenden MacDonald · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    On my Pixel 3, in my Clock app, alarms have a section for Google Assistant Routine, which is a set of options for alarms, where after the alarm is dismissed, the Assistant tells the user about reminders, weather, commute, regional news. It helps me wake up.

    Tasker "Set Alarm" action will successfully turn on a previously dismissed alarm with a Routine already in place, but there is no interface for specifying the Routine in Tasker. So, if a task involves creating a new alarm, I cannot create it with an Assistant Routine.

    So there are two related features to request:

    Name anonymous tasks from task edit screen

    Rich D · 4 · Last reply by Jeremy

    When using the run log a long press on a anonymous task will bring you to the task edit page However the is no way to be able to find linked profiles or locate this task except with the run log. Having the ability to name the task from within the task edit screen would solve this.

    In addition, when editing a task from a scene element the only current way to name that task is to copy all actions and paste them into a new named task. This would make naming a scene element anonymous task much easier as

    Add 'READ_PRECISE_PHONE_STATE' permission to AndroidManifest?

    SmartPhoneLover · 1 · Last reply by SmartPhoneLover

    Hello Joao,

    I would like to request, if possible, to add the android.permission.READ_PRECISE_PHONE_STATE Android permission into Tasker. It would allow us to detect new phone call states from the hidden API that the telephony service (phone) can't.

    Then, them could be retrieved using the Intent Received profile event, listening to android.intent.action.PRECISE_CALL_STATE intent; or adding new events inside the Phone category (event).

    Here are the phone states that this API could give us:

    Enhanced Time profile

    Dimitri Avrutin · 3 · Last reply by Ian Grody

    I think the Time and Date profiles \event is a little bit weak in matter of scheduling possibilities. 

    I have a software with scheduling Gui feature that I believe do that right. 

    It has hourly and daily type settings. 

    On hourly schedule you can set if it will happen on specific hour, if it will repeat every specific time and when it begins and ends. 

    It also can set multiple hours to run at.

    On daily, you can choose specific days in a week that it will run

    It would be nice if something similar will be implemented.

    Connect to specified Bluetooth device

    Stefan · 3 · Last reply by Jackal Zhao

    Just turning on Bluetooth seems not enough to automatically connect to some known Bluetooth devices - you have to explicitly connect to them. Therefore it would be good to have an action to explicitly connect to a known Bluetooth device by name or its device address.

    "send Adb Shell Command over the TcpIp" action

    Jackal Zhao · 3 · Last reply by Felix

     we all know we can use "adb tcpip 5555" to open adbd, and then use "abd connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5555"  to send adb command remotely. But we could also send command to "127.0.0.1:5555"  on our phone it self.  

    On some devices, we may don't have root permission, and Tasker Shell Code action permission is greatly restricted, some commands such as "sendevent"  could not be performed. But if we use tcpip adb port to send the command, the phone wouldbthink it as a computer sending adb commands, and perform the command. 

    Once the function is added, all we have to do is connect

    Toggle Use Motion Detection as a Set Tasker Pref action

    Since the "Use Motion Detection" preference comes with a warning when using BT or Wifi near states, I'd like to only enable it when i need it, and automatically disable it when the profile i need it for is finished.

    Kill app - add an option to exclude from recents

    David Saada · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    When launching an app, there's an option to exclude it from recents. However, it would make more sense to add this option when killing an app. There are few apps (namely media players, but others as well) that misbehave after being stopped, when they're still in recents. This should take care of it.

    Make logcat context helper floating button work with hardware buttons

    Rich D · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    A seeing impaired user using TalkBack is not able to negotiate using the floating helper button. If in addition to the floating button you could make volume up either of the volume buttons the start / stop as well with perhaps a audio confirmation I believe it would make a suitable work around. 

    You would probably need to put the option to enable this feature in the tasker properties.

    Automatically follow redirects on HTTP Requests

    Michael Degatano · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Tasker should have an option to automatically follow redirects on the HTTP Request action.  If the response is a 301 (permanent redirect) or 307 (temporary redirect) then the new URL is in the response location header.  It would be great if tasker had an option to automatically make the same request again at the URL specified in the location header when it receives a redirect response like this.

    Note that it should also log that this happened so the developer can see it.  And if it is a permanent redirect then it would be nice if tasker somehow called your

    While and End While statements

    Mateo · 3 · Last reply by sugarfoot

    I think Tasker is missing a while loop. I understand that there's the GoTo action, but it does not help with how easy it is to see where it begins and thus making it harder to edit.
