    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.

    Bluetooth state doesn't update when disconnected

    Joel · 4 · Last reply by Joel

     After upgrading to pixel 7pro, this profile doesn't work. It is a simple task call when Bluetooth is connected to my car. Runs just fine when device connects, but doesn't recognize when Bluetooth disconnects. Will stay that way for hours despite being nowhere near my car.

    [Question] Screen pixel color detection

    RegiOween · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello Taskers!

    I'm a passionate AutoIt user for many years (an amazing automation/scripting language for Windows).

    One of the most powerful functions of AutoIt is the possibility to detect screens by pixel color, because as we all know, some developers try hard to hide information from automation tools, like disguising screens with text as actually images, and that very particular feature makes AutoIt invincible in this war, because it can detect even fullscreen games with this wonderful function.

    Tasker has a native Get Pixel Colors action, and AutoInput plugin has a similar action, but both require an image file.

    LGV60- Torch action worked briefly but now says "Torch isn't available on this device"

    Justin · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Yesterday I set up my LGV60 to use the google assistant button to toggle the torch.  it was working great for several hours but I believe at some point I restarted my phone and it just stopped. Restarting again has done nothing to fix the problem. Tasker just tells me torch is not available on this device.

    Test Display/Status Bar Offset reports negative number, but Scene drawing at a negative vertical offset is off screen

    William Faulk · 0 · Posted

    On my phone, in portrait, Test Display/Status Bar Offset reports "-115" and if I draw a scene at (0,-115), it shows at the top left corner of the screen, over the status bar, as expected.

    In landscape, Test Display/Status Bar Offset reports "-77", but if I draw a scene at (0,-77), nothing appears (assuming the scene is less than 77 pixels tall). If I draw the scene at (0,0), though, the scene appears at the top left corner, over the status bar.

    This is on an Asus Zenfone 9. There is a cutout in the upper left for the camera

    Hello, Joao!

    Though app shortcuts are now working in google assistant in spanish, they don't seem to be fully implemented, since I'm not able to execute tasks from the assistant. Are there any plans to implement it?

    Assistance Request android.os.BadParcelableException

    KTasker · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Tasker Version: 6.0.10 App Check Method: Accessibility

    OS: LineageOS 20 (Android 13) OS Code: 33 OS Target: 30

    When using the Assistance Request event profile, it will consistently fail/crash with android.os.BadParcelableException in certain areas of apps. It seems to happen most often while I'm viewing an area of the app that is used for chatting.

    Note 1: I can disable all event profiles that utilize assistance request, and the crash will still occur. Therefore it would seem it has nothing to do with the profiles I've created.

    Note 2: I used the same event profiles in LineageOS 19 (Android 12L)

    App context detects that app is not running but app was running

    Solar Island · 2 · Last reply by Solar Island

    on some phones running Android 9/10 (Oukitel, Blackview, Cubot) I try to launch an app, when it is not running but the app is launched all the time even though it was already running, except if that app is in the foreground.

    This does not happen with OnePlus 5T with Android 9.

    While I found a workaround via notification checks and time limits, I prefer that this context was not reporting false results.

    Can you help with a fix?

    Since i've migrated Miui13 to Miui 14 my wifi profile always ask me permission to enable/disable wifi, so the profile is unuseless

    Jose Cipres · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Every time I leave or enter the house, the profile is activated but it shows me a message on the screen requesting permissions for "tasker settings" to enable and disable wifi. This application has always had all the permissions. So I don't know what else to do except disable the profile and do it manually.

    autonotification action antouchaction not working ?

    Dale Slaughter · 4 · Last reply by Dale Slaughter

    I've installed KDE Connect on my Pixel 6 and Dell laptop. But they don't seem to automatically connect. I posted a question on the KDE subreddit, and had a couple of responses that KDE Connect it doesn't seem to work as expected. The only way I've been able to get the phone and laptop to connect is my manually tapping the KDE Connect notification.

    So, I thought I could use Tasker to simulate tapping the notification. I've done some searches, and from that created the below profile. However, it doesn't seem to work either.

    Widget Audio Adjustment Failure

    E Jones · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Audio Adjustment command fails to perform successfully when performed from widget, but does not report an issue. Successive steps are performed as if command succeeded. Task is performed accurately when performed from Tasker application directly, so failure is limited to only when activated via a widget.

    Performed report issue to developer option via Android app.
