Could the sliders (SeekBars) used by Tasker actions be improve or made customizable in settings? I find it impossible to use the press-and-drag method -- they just don't move, and the click method is very hit-and-miss.  Using the arrows is often impracticable when the value range is large since the arrows change the value by only +/-1.  Also in some cases a "logarithmic" (actually "exponential") scale would be more appropriate, e.g. for setting a Beep tone frequency where getting somthing in the middle of the audio spectrum on a linear scale that goes from ~0 to 16000 is extremely awkward. 

I noticed that the "/" character is used as a separator if one wants to specify multiple networks. Can it be done so that double-division sign is treated like a single division sign but as part of SSID?

Hi,

I have followed all the steps in the FAQ but my tasker keeps disabling itself on my device running 9.0 on Pixel 1

I want to disable my 'work' alarm when my calendar has an event 'holiday'.

The task 'Cancel alarm' only opens the alarm app on my phone, but does not cancel it. Makes no difference which mode (disable current, by label, any). I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 with Android 8.0, alarm app v7.0.92.4.

PS: The task 'Set alarm' actually does work.

PS2: also plugin 'ClockTask' wont disable an alarm.

When i create a standalone app with appfactory 5.6, the the media button event is not received by the app. In tasker 5.6 itself it works perfectly.

Please help. I'm stuck! 

Tasker occasionally crashes. Quite old problem and have not been fixed still. And when it does crash, it also triggers all or most of the tasks to action, apparently all at the same time. This is very old problem since Tasker 4 and have had this with Android 5, 6 and 7.

Might be some bug if too much going on at the same time? Maybe should optimize my stuff and give different priorities to tasks (as I have never done that)? Or maybe need more powerful smartphone to run my stuff without crashing?

I have observed that crash phenomenon

I use latest Custom Quick Settings and Tasker versions on Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus (SM-G901F), LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1).

Custom Quick Settings tiles like reboot and reboot recovery work from quick settings, but using them in Tasker has no result.

Hi

Have a action with brightness level 255. This works flawless and the brightness goes to maximum. When pressing on/off button so screen get black, and turn the screen on again the brightness has changed to what is was before pressing the action. This works om my old Lg g2, but not the Huawei p20. Any tips?

When a 'get voice ' action is run and Tasker has not been closed (by backing out) and is in the background,  the action will bring tasker to the foreground and show the get voice input promt. This will not happen if tasker has been closed by using the back button prior to the action running.

i have an issue where the android app made by tasker app factory not fitting screen properly.Issue mainly observed on 6 inch screen phones.Can you please suggest solution.

If tasker is disabled and I wanto to enable it I touch "Enable Tasker" from app menu. This doesn't enable the app. To actually enable it, after enabling tasker from the menu, I have to click on any profile and then to confirm the action through the tick that appears on top bar. At this point Tasker enables itself and everything works right

Android 6 (Marshmallow).

When trying to write a file the alert appears that "grant document tree access" is necessary to perform this action next time without asking. Then the usual file manager is displayed where I selected external SD card.

But tasker does not seem to be able to write to the file. The alert reappears instantly. If I select <back> I get an error message

/storage/1234-5678 is external SD card. If I provide the full path to a file on internal storage it works (as expected).

What's wrong?

Hello,

The "scan media" action does not seem to work on my "Note 8" with Oreo. I believe this is a bug that needs to be addressed.

Instead, I am using the following shell command with root:

am startservice --es volume "external" com.android.providers.media/.MediaScannerService

There is also an app that works for the "scan media":

I want to play a random song from a folder when I shake my phone and it usually works but sometimes it just doesn't play a song. I turned off random to see if it always happens at the same place and it happens after all the other songs have been played once.

Hi!

Just purchased Tasker and really like the possibilities. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S9+ and want to rotate and change display brightness when launching a defined app. But no actions is executed. Also used the ADB Tool (Galaxy S9+ Developer Settings activated, USB Debugging enabled) to send the command to activate android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS like recomended in the guidelines. Still no success. Simple Tasks (like Beep, Pop-Up) work perfectly. Also activated logging - don't see any Errors there.  

What am i missing?

Love Tasker, been using it for over 7 years now across 5 phones.   My current phone is a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5, SM-G900V.  I have a Tasker profile that is designed to inform me when the battery is at 100% and is being charged by "Any" means.  The SM-G900V does not have native wireless charging capabilities.  I purchased and installed a 3rd party wireless charging add-on device for my SM-G900V.  When charging wirelessly, the Tasker state of charging "Any" for my SM-G900V doesn't recognize wireless as a trigger.  I created another profile of charging "Wireless[ly]" with the battery at 100%

At least on some devices the action "Play Ringtone" does not stop playing the ringtone until Tasker is disabled or quit.

The action "Play Music" is not always a good alternative because it changes %MTRACK which can be used to trigger music playing causing unwanted profiles to become active.

So an action to stop the ringtone playing would be necessary or the ringtone should stop playing by itself after one loop or a configurable time.

Hi

in Scene Layout we can replace Pictures (Scene>>Object Picture).

In my Scene´s i replace many Material Design Icons with the same, but in a other Color.

e.g. "car.picture" in white, replace with "car.picture" in green.

The Problem:  When i would replace it live in the active scene with a button, it dont change the Object Picture, because the Filename dont change, only it´s Color.
