    Michael · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Open Tasker, click on scenes and then the orange + add button.  I get the popup to give it a name.  Type in any name, hit the checkmark.  About half a second to a second later tasker just crashes and I am back on the home screen.

    Set Alarm does not take into account "Vibrate" setting

    Ed255 · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    When I perform the action "Set Alarm" with "Vibrate" set to "Off", the alarm will still vibrate when it goes off. Changing the parameter does not seem to impact the alarm that will be set.

    However, the parameters for hours, minutes, and label work perfectly fine.

    Tested on OnePlus 10 Pro - OxygenOS 13.

    SystemUI not in list of apps to kill

    Fabian Röling · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I'm not sure if more system apps are affected, but at least SystemUI does not appear in the list of apps in the "kill app" action. I also can't input a package name to work around the bug.

    IPv6 DNS cache bug

    Ondřej Novy · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    It looks like there is problem in HTP request action in combination with IPv6. It can be tested with URL https://fallback-v6.ipv6-test.com/json/proto.php which works over IPv4, but not IPv6 and contains both A and AAAA DNS records. Test task attached. There are two bugs.

    Use cases:

    Connected to network which doesn't support IPv6:

    • Tasker gets A record
    • HTTP request works - CORRECT

    Connected to network which supports IPv6:

    • Tasker gets AAAA record
    • HTTP request fails - BUG
    • there should be fallback from (not working) IPv6 to IPv4. That URL in browser loads fine (after small IPv6->IPv4 fallback timeout)

    I'm unable to create (export) ANY new project as App because every time I try I get the following set of messages:

But no matter what I try, Holo, Material, Misc, Crystal HD Project, I Like Buttons HD, the same type of error occurs with different resource ids. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Tasker with no change. BUT if I change the app

    moving media bug

    Versions after 5.14.8 have an error, the action of moving a photo or screenshot from folder to folder tightly hangs the media scanner process, only a reboot helps (I tried on 3 Xiaomi mi 11 ultra, Redmi note 10 pro, Redmi note 9 pro devices).

    As a result, the moved files in the gallery of any applications are missing until the reboot (telegram, regular gallery or any of the market).

    Example:

    A1: Wait [MS: 700]

    A2: List [Directory: DCIM/Screenshots/ Sort Select: Alphabetic Variable Array: %SCREENSHOTS ]

    A3: Move [From: %SCREENSHOTS(1) To: Pictures/Screenshots ]

    A4: Vibrate [Time: 200 ]

    Can't toggle WiFi in airplane mode

    matmielke · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello,

    I'm using tasker mainly for activating airplane mode and wifi in different situations.

    Unfortunately, on my Pixel 7Pro (security patch Dec. 2022), I can't switch WiFi on or off when the phone is in airplane mode.

    I can switch on or off when phone's radio is active.

    Tasker Settings 1.2.0 is installed, Tasker up to date, all permissions granted.

    Is there any solution?

    This behavior also seems to break the Toggle Wifi quick tile.

    Thanks,

    Matthias

    Input Dialog lag when a task starts from a start screen

    Ilya · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Tasker causes a significant lag in showing a Input Dialog (the first action in a task) when a task starts from a start screen. List Dialog is also affected. There's no lag if a task performs in Tasker itself.

    Bug report: Tasker Device Control tiles, long press crashes system ui?

    Felix · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I recently discovered the device control tiles (also known as power menu controls) and I love them. The ability to switch my Hue lights on and off AND being able to change the brightness with a simple swipe on the tile is just so handy. But unfortunately, there is a bug. When I long press one of the tiles, the whole system ui crashes for a few seconds. This is kinda annoying because this happens quite often when I want to adjust the brightness of my lights just a tiny little bit and am too slow while swiping. Actually, I'd

    Cannot accept terms

    Can Karsten · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello,

    I am trying to install Tasker on my android head unit in my car.

    The unit runs android 10. Upon opening the app I am asked to choose between Tasker or Tasky and then check all the required boxes.

    When trying to check the accept terms box, the app crashes. Usually, it should show a popup but it just crashes repeatedly.

    I have already tried to reboot the unit, to reinstall the app, and to install the tasker apk versions 6.0.10 and even 6.0.9 without any results.

    Does anyone know a solution or have the same problem?

    Trial not working

    Hi. I downloaded taskr from the website and installed it specifically to try the trial version. I went through setup to enable a lot (maybe not all) of its functions. Then this page pops up (a few minutes after install) to say I have to buy it. What happened to the trial version? (Screenshot attached)

    Tasker mis-handling of beacons

    ckollars · 2 · Last reply by ckollars

    Tasker handling of beacons (iBeacon, Eddystone, etc. etc.) is not possible because operation of BT Near with beacons is not reliable. Active Profiles keep going inactive again several times a minute even though neither the phone nor the beacon have moved at all. Although this false reporting of "BT Beacon Gone" can be reduced somewhat by careful tuning of the monitoring parameters, it cannot be reduced to a tolerable level.

    The problem acts as though for faster response _both_ Tasker and Android are trying to detect the "BT Beacon Gone" condition at the same time. This should not be happening.
