    Continuous prompt when turning wifi on/off in HyperOS(Xiaomi)

    David · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello, since i updated to Xiaomi HyperOS 1.0.1.0 (from Miui) a few days ago I am having issues with a prompt that appears every time tasker tries to toggle wifi. It keeps prompting me to allow/restrict the app to turn wifi on/off. I tried to install tasker settings 1.7.1 for Xiaomi (as described in instructions)  several times (including using adb method) but it does not work. I cannot see what I am doing wrong. Before the update I did exactly the same and it worked (that was on Miui). Is there any tips, workarounds or updates? Thank you!

    Can't run Network Access with Tasker Settings error message

    Joe · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello,

    Whenever I disable Tasker either using the quick tile "toggle" or in the Tasker app itself, I get an error message from Android Permission Manager that says, "Can't run Network Access with Tasker Settings. Otherwise, it works as intended and it does disable Tasker. Is there a work around for this? For now, I'm just dismissing the notification.

    Thanks

    'Variable Convert' write access to 'Name' when 'Store Result In' is used

    Pascal · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    The Variable Convert action will check if it can write to the variable used in Name even if Store Result In is used. If Store Result In is used, there should never be written to the original variable and therefore there is no need to check if it has write access to this variable.

    Currently this will give the "Can't write values to variable structure" error if it can't write to the original variable, even if it will actually never attempt to.

    Minimal working example:

    Maybe this isn't limited to the Variable Convert action, but it is where I encountered

    Data Access and Collection Screen

    Calvin · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello, I just purchased and installed Tasker on my Lenovo tablet and I can’t get past the “Data Access and Collection in Tasker” screen. There is no buttons, no arrow to go back, no way off the screen. I’ve zoomed out the screen to its smallest and still nothing. Is there a way to get out of this? I just paid for the app.

    How to toggle Wifi on Pixel 7a without root.

    rogers · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello, Tasker reports an authorisation problem when it should switch Wifi and root is disabled for Tasker. Tasker settings via ADB is installed.

    My Pixel 4a does the same job without any problems. Are there any differences between 4a and 7a regarding wifi permissions? Someone mentioned this on Reddit.

    Both devices run LOS 21.

    Child app profile events not working

    whjou · 1 · Last reply by whjou

    I am trying to create a child app that will do some action on event but found that while it works in Tasker, exporting and installing it as a child app doesn't.

    I am on a Samsung Galaxy S24.

    See sample Tasker project below. It is supposed to flash a message when we enter/exit chrome, or if we cover/uncover the light sensor.

        Project: TA-Test

            Profile: TestApplicationProfile

    Wifi on/off every time prompt on Hyper OS android 14

    Aleš Ehrenberger · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi,

    last week I´ve received first Hyper OS update to android 14 for my Xiaomi Mi11 Lite 5G NE. I am not able to get Tasker turn off/on wifi without accepting a prompt message about turning wifi on/off. I´ve tried to sideload Tasker settings by adb USB(version 12, 17.1 and version for Huawei/Xiaomi) but with the same result. I´ve granted the permissions right after Tasker settings install and disabling battery optimization. It´s has been 10 years I am using Tasker, I hope we´ll solve the issue, obviously I am not the only one with this problem...

    Thanks

    Trial Over after internet disabled

    taskeruser1000 · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi,

    I user Tasker daily to disable internet on my phone during the night. This helps reduce battery drain and ensures no errant notifications try and bypass do not disturb.

    The two actions in the task are:

    Mobile Data -> Off WiFi -> Off

    However recently I've started getting a persistent notification after this task activates "Trial Over. Sorry, Tasker can't be used until you purchase it from Google Play"

    I'm unable to open Tasker when this occurs until I either manually re-enable internet or wait for the equivalent task to automatically enable internet the following morning.

    Cannot install tasker from google play store

    Donghyeon Kim · 6 · Last reply by João Dias

    It's really frustrating. I was running an app that I had already paid 4400 won ($4) to purchase and install from the Google Play Store. At some point, I kept getting pop-ups telling me to use the version I purchased from the play store, and I kept getting links to install tasker in my web browser! I couldn't use the app. No, I'm not using a cracked version, and I paid $4 to use it from the play store, so why was I getting this error? It's really frustrating. I tried reinstalling, but the app doesn't install and the "install"

    Set up an accelerometer based profile to take photos.  It works up until the phone is locked, however, locked is the state that I want the accelerometer to trigger photos.  When locked, the green dot appears in the corner to indicate that that camera is active, but no new photos are taken/stored.

    Notification removed event documentation

    StaffanT · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    The help text for the Notification Removed event states that it doesn't work for Tasker-generated events. My testing tells me that this is not true, it doesn't work for notifications created by the same app that created the notification in the first place, not only Tasker. IMHO it should work as documented, letting kid apps react on the removal of their own notifications. As it is now a plugin, free or paid, is required in addition to the kid app to achieve this, which doesn't make sense. This is particularly important in Android 14+ where Google have taken away the

    Cannot install tasker from google play store (conflict with lsposed)

    Cannot install tasker from google play store | Tasker Feature Requests (helprace.com)

    "In my case, is an unwanted interaction with lsposed. I disabled Lsposed - reboot - tasker. Let it make its inicialisations and configure it till everithing running as expected --> re enable Lsposed..."

    This helped me. so I disabled Lsposed and installed tasker from play store.

    and I enabled Lsposed again because it is essential.

    Tasker conflicts with Lsposed again and It shows me error on notification.

    Error : License error : Invalid package name.

    Dev, plz solve the issue with lsposed asap.
