    My phone does not allow incoming calls while tasker is running

    CHRIS BALSOM · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Just recently I was getting calls announced by Tasker but then it would immediately end call. I spent 2 days with my network provider thinking it was the phone. I tried my sim in a new phone and had no issues. 

    So I factory reset my phone and once everthing was reloaded without any permissions being given, it worked. Gave tasker the requested permissions and it faulted again. So I did some problem solving and factory reset again. Then loaded app by app back on to the phone. testing after each install.

    This is how I discovered that if I

    AutoVoice Alexa Skill not allowing linking

    Ed Roberts · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I got notice I needed to re-link the AutoVoice skill with Alexa, however I'm unable to do so. No matter what method I use, web browser on the phone, on a web browser on a separate computer, etc. I'm always directed to the link notice below. What can be done to re-link?

    You need to use your Google account to link AutoVoice with Alexa. If authorization is not working for you please open http://alexa.amazon.com/ in the Chrome browser on this device. There touch Menu (upper right corner)->Request Desktop Site. Search for the AutoVoice skill and link your AutoVoice account there. Alternatively you can link the

    App Factory (kid apps) crash/killed on Android 12

    Tasker user 434 · 2 · Last reply by Tasker user 434

    On Android 11, works fine.  On Android 12, works fine until a day or so later, when the notification is gone and the profile won't trigger.

    Using tasker and app factory 5.12.0, target Android version 26, basic permission set like LOCATION, NETWORK, WAKE LOCK, EXTERNAL STORAGE, etc. When installed it asks for location and storage permissions, and Display over Other Apps, which I grant.  I also disabled battery optimization.

    The Profile conditions only check for Display On, GPS On, and WiFi connected. 

    I know Android 12 has issues with killing phantom processes described here, but I've tried the fix using

    autobarcode issues

    Good evening, I have tasker up and running and working properly to send location coördinaties to one of my apps (through a webhook). I am trying to do the same thing for QR code scans (or barcodes) and I have installed autobarcode, added a widget on my screen. I have created a profile for autobarcode with a task. The connection with my app works fine and and when I activate the task I see a new entry in my app. But I can't get the widget to open a scanner and it seems like the app (autobarcode) crashes.

    Wallpaper selector not showing current wallpaper set by tasker (android 13)

    When you use the Set Wallpaper action in tasker on android 13 beta, the new quick wallpaper selector that shows the last used wallpapers doesn't get updated and shows the last manually set wallpaper. I use tasker to daily download a random image from my drive and set it as wallpaper. But the quick selector never updates when tasker changes the wallpaper.

    "Error - accessibility service not running"

    Fenix · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I use Tasker with the AutoInput and AutoApps plugins across several devices to run tasks. Lately, I've been having actions randomly fail with the error "Accessibility service not running" despite it running quite happily for months prior. Using an AutoInput Action to click certain coordinates, doesn't not present an error, but the click does not happen. The permissions are set as they always have been and I have done nothing to change them. It is as if the service just forgets it has been set up. The only way I have found to fix this has been to clear the

    20.40.51/E Missing permissions. Digital Assistant. Check notifications.
