    Task for Wifi state connected not working as expected

    joolz1 · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi,

    I have setup a profile which has:

    WIFI CONNECTED STATE: When connected to specific SSID, then Initiate a task.

    This works as expected when I connect to said SSID, _HOWEVER_ the EXIT TASK only works when you physically manually turn off the Wifi from the android quick settings menu. If you walk far enough away from the wifi that mobile data kicks back in, the EXIT TASK fails to run.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Call forwarding not working on android 14 and Xiaomi Redmi note 13

    Leon · 0 · Posted

    I think after the update of my Xiaomi Redmi note 13 it seems call forwarding is not working anymore from Tasker.

    The Takser proces completes succesfully but the calls aren't forwarded.

    If I use the *21*06xxxxxxxx# format (dutch cell phone number) and autodial enabled and simcard is selected, it just doesn't work. (It did before so no changes there). It also sends the confirmation SMS to the designated number.

    If I do the *21* command on the phone itself it does work and calls are being forwarded correctly.

    Any thoughts on how it could be fixed (restart of phone had

    Orange Pi Zero 3 - problem with Direct Purchase Activation

    Flávio Augusto · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello, my friend! 

    First of all, congratulations on your excellent work. I’m already a Tasker user on mobile and just subscribed to your Patreon to get access to a Direct Purchase license. 

    The device I’m using doesn’t have Google Play—it’s an Orange Pi Zero 3 running a version of Android. 

    I’m unable to add the license because the 3-dot menu doesn’t appear. While researching, I found some old Reddit threads about similar issues, but the suggested solutions involved creating a task to open the preferences or checking for operational problems like Overscan settings, which didn’t work for me.

    Tasker freezes when running messages task

    E · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi,

    I have a simple text message rule set up where if text messages matches regex of certain URL, it will save it to array and launch the URL. This has worked perfectly for a while.

    Until now. When I receive the message with the URL, Tasker freezes. If the application is closed, tapping to open it will result in it crashing. If it is already open on my screen, it is touch disabled. However in many circumstances 30 seconds later the URL will end up opening. I see that Tasker processes it, but it freezes and crashes in the

    AutoInput crashes due to missing Google Play Services

    sev · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    The AutoInput app (and maybe other AutoApps that share similar base code) will begin to crash whenever you open the edit window if you do not have Google Play Services installed. Please find a way to make this error not fatal.

    This is the standalone version downloaded from your website.

    Can't use array function in array pop action

    Moshe Siani · 0 · Posted

    In array pop i can't write an array function unless i put it inside a variable first.

    For example if i want to write inside the field Position in array pop action this function: %array(#?index) it won't allow me to do so because the keyboard is only keypads (numbers).

    My suggestion if possible is to change the keyboard or to have an option inside the variables list to create a new one because right now i can only choose a variable from the list.

    Pick photos action returns with uri that isn't useable when using send intent

    Moshe Siani · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    In short, using Pick Photo action returns with the images URI path but when trying to use it in send intent for example it fails. To fix that you need to get the full path using SQL Query like here:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/1enzuix/how_to_copy_filesmedia_from_your_android_phone_to/

    The example is shown below the title: "Pick Photos/Media dialog".

    Can you maybe have another variable/array inside the Pick Photos action that will hold the full path.

    I'm having the following issue when I try to install it from Brazil.

    "It was not possible to complete the purchase. Update your Google Play account settings so that the selected country matches your country of residence. Visit the Help Center for more information."

    I have already confirmed it and the information from Google Play is correct. I tested it on two different devices.

    Remote action execution

    Productivity · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi Joao,

    I have downloaded the latest version of Tasker and am excited about the Remote Action Execution functionality. I currently have two devices, a Samsung S24+ and a Samsung Note9. I followed the steps you indicated in your tutorial and am stuck at step 3, almost at the end. The problem is that on my Samsung Note9, when I try to select the file, either the Google Cloud Service Account or the Google Cloud Firebase, it seems that it doesn't recognize them; it simply doesn't show them as selectable files. Do you know what might be causing this situation?

    Intermittent failures to launch app from time profile

    Steve Rothkin · 0 · Posted

    This problem started maybe around 6 weeks ago (it worked fine for many years before that). I have a profile (attached) which starts the GoodSync app at midnight so that the schedule on my laptop can sync from the phone. It worked fine for many years, but over the last 6-8 weeks, it is failing to launch the goodsync server at least half the time from the schedule. The latest failures are in the attached screen shots.

    Note that

    • Running task manually always works fine
    • Goodsync app has all requested permissions
    • Tasker app has all requested permissions EXCEPT for Camera,

    tasker terms and conditions not displaying

    random · 0 · Posted

    In the introduction to Tasker, there's a screen with a bunch of check boxes, one of which is to accept the terms and conditions. However, when that box is clicked, the terms and conditions do not appear. Instead, I get this error message:

    "Couldn't get text. Please contact developer. (ja/disclaimer.html)"

    I bought Tasker from the Japanese app store.

    I tried with my system language in both English and Japanese (by the way, the Japanese language coverage is very inconsistent even on this first page, but that's something I expect and not a huge problem as long as the text in
