    Autolocation can't backup and restore

    Thom Young · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi! 

    I have recently bought a new phone but I can't restore my geofences from my previous phone. I only have the option to backup but not to restore. If I click backup it tells me the file path and says it doesn't exist.

    I can see someone else has the same issue here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/167l1yq/autolocation_autoshare_others_cant_backuprestore/?rdt=47611

    Autoweb and Auto calendar error. help with profile.

    Rexx DZN · 0 · Posted

    Dear Joao,    many months ago I started using tasker. So far I have created everything I could mostly using autoinput since it was easier and a few tasker functions specifically for the profile part (time, event and state). The main reason I have started using tasker however is that i wanted to automate stuff I do on a daily basis. Along the way I have added the goal to integrate my devices via tasker and join and I'm still busy with that and so far it is going well. However there is one profile that i can't create since

    Tasker does not perform the task of switching bluetooth on/off. A message comes up that it is due to Google policy. I cannot use the " Auto off unpaired bluetooth" profile now. Is it possible to solve this problem?

    Just purchased tasker for my old Samsung Galagy Note 10.1 tablet on Android version 5.1.1

    Installed fine, but after launching, I can not find a way to get past the initial Data Access screen.  There are no buttons anywhere to move forward.  

    Application manager shows it to be version 6.2.22

    Any help appreciated 

    Thanks

    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

    AutoInput error 1313911465 timeout

    Hello, I believe I've encountered a bug in either Tasker or AutoInput.

    If the AutoInput UI Query action times out and Continue Task After Error is ticked, each subsequent AutoInput action will timeout after either 4000ms or 5000ms with Error 1313911465 Action timed out, even if the subsequent action has a higher timeout or no timeout at all.

    This bug can easily be reproduced with two actions: 

    The action timeout values are arbitrary, and the bug still occurs with a wait between the actions. This bug occurs not only with UI Query but also Action and Gesture but not Actions

    Tasker must be restarted to get new Material You Colors

    Elias Cabrera · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    If the system Material You colors are changed (ie. wallpaper is changed), the Tasker theme doesn't reflect the change and keeps the previous theme. This applies also to the "Get Material You Colors" action, it'll get the previously used colors and not the new ones.

    Force closing and reopening Tasker allows it use the new colors, until the wallpaper is changed again.

    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.

    Hi.

    The event &SCREENON& is no more sent to Autowear with Wear OS 5.1 but is sent when we move back to the watch homescreen from a tile, from the quick settings panel or from the notification panel.

    &SCREENOFF& is still OK.

    I have a task set up to look for alarm when specific notification categories are received. After updating to the Samsung One UI 7.0, it appears to no longer check for this and instead alarms on any notification matching the criteria, regardless of the specified Notification Category Name.

    Leaving an SSID does not start the WireGuard tunnel

    Doron · 3 · Last reply by Doron

    Hello folks,

    I bought Tasker mainly for one thing: to stop/start a WireGuard tunnel when in/out of a specific WiFi SSID, respectively. Quite a straightforward mission.

    So I have two profiles: One for being inside the SSID (Wifi Connected, with the SSID name), linked  to a TunnelDown task

    and one for being outside that SSID (Wifi Connected, same SSID name, "invert"), linked to a TunnelUp task:

    When going into the SSID, the task takes place correctly and the tunnel is brought down. However when leaving the SSID, the opposite task is not performed, and the tunnel remains down.

    Tasker doesnt randomly select image

    freedomplayer95 · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I set up tasker so every 4 minuted it chooses a random folder from a specific director and then randomly chooses an image from that folder and sends it to klwp to set it up as wallpaper. But i noticed that some images get selected waaaaay to often. This should be random but from a folder that contains 1000 images i got 1 image twice already in the last hours. Yesterday i even got an image twice in 8 minutes from a folder that has almost 1500 images in it.

    I start to think that tasker doesnt look at all
