    My phone does not allow incoming calls while tasker is running

    CHRIS BALSOM · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Just recently I was getting calls announced by Tasker but then it would immediately end call. I spent 2 days with my network provider thinking it was the phone. I tried my sim in a new phone and had no issues. 

    So I factory reset my phone and once everthing was reloaded without any permissions being given, it worked. Gave tasker the requested permissions and it faulted again. So I did some problem solving and factory reset again. Then loaded app by app back on to the phone. testing after each install.

    This is how I discovered that if I

    Problem running tasks from Google Assistant

    Dan Muller · 5 · Last reply by Xavier Care

    In my car, with the phone connected via Bluetooth, I can open Google Assistant by pressing the steering wheel button. I can then say, "Run <task name> with Tasker" and it will work, but only if the phone screen is on. If the screen is off, GA responds with, "Sorry, I didn't understand that".

    I believe this to be an issue with Tasker (rather than GA) because, under the same conditions, I can run other apps with no problem. Tasker is the only one that fails this way. Thus, it's a failure unique to the GA/Tasker integration.

    Some important information:

    Undocumented delay during sleep mode

    David Spector · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I'm a beginner. My device is TCL A3 and is sold by Tracfone. It runs Android 11.

    When I write a set of Profiles and Tasks to manage my screen power automatically, it works fine when rotating the device quickly. But when I leave the display in Off/Lock/Sleep mode for more than just a few seconds, the device stays off after I rotate the device (to turn it on) for 2 minutes 3 seconds.

    After trying many option changes, I discovered that turning system Do Not Disturb mode Off fixes the problem.

    This is not documented anywhere that I can

    Tasker with Autonotification on EMUI 12

    Andreas Krechel · 2 · Last reply by Paul Manning

    Hi.

    I'm using Tasker and Autonotification quite a while now and I love it.

    This week I got the EMUI 12 (still Android 10) update on my Huawei Mate 20 pro. 

    Now all profiles that are using Autonotification are not working anymore. 

    My guess is that is because Huawei changed the notification panel. There is now a seperate panel for notifications and quick settings. It seems that Autonotification no longer can read the notifications. 

    Is this a known issue? Is there a work around? 

    Thanks.

    Tasker battery drain Samsung Galaxy S21 Android 12

    rma1rma · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi!

    I'm having problems with Tasker draining battery. I use tasks for auto sync every hour, Cell near for wifi, auto sync on when power any and a gesture to start a app fhen flip phone. 

    For some reason after few days, battery starts draining faster. When I disable Tasker, exit and remove it from background, start Tasker again and enable it, everything works again. Then after few days battery again starts to drain faster. When I do the described steps, it works again a few days and so on.

    I notice the battery drain in the morning, after charging

    Google Drive upload creates duplicate folders in same parent folder

    Matthew · 1 · Last reply by Goonie Goonie

    Hello,

    For some reason it appears that when specifying a remote folder on Google Drive, it does not attempt to see whether that folder already exists. In the root directory (My Files), I have a folder called project which has subfolders containing various projects. When I put the following entry into the remote folder field of the Google Drive Upload task...

    project/tasker/tracker

    ...there's the expectation that the tasker folder would be created in the existing project folder and then the tracker folder being created in the tasker folder. This does not happen. Somehow, Google Drive API seems to allow duplicate

    Faster scene destroy

    Nikolas · 0 · Posted

    Hello,

    I have 2 scenes that show only on AOD (1st) or when lock screen is up (2nd) and are set up to be destroyed on exit, however they linger for about 0.2-0.3 sec after the phone is unlocked on top of home screen. Is there a way to destroy a scene faster? (PS Samsung S20, have tried already to use the Screen unlock event and to hide scene before destroying, no result). Thank you!

    Problem with AutoInput and app saying it is unregistered

    Hello,

     

    I have a task using the AutoInput plug. However, recently, possibly since my Samsung Galaxy FE S20 got updated to Android 12 I get the following error message: "Please unlock the app os start a trial to use this"

     

    I purchased the app some time ago. I cannot find anywhere in the app where I can check its registration status.   I'm hoping you can help me, it's very useful to me.

    Calendar data not found in TEST APP

    Eric Foecking · 7 · Last reply by João Dias

    I migrated my phone from a Samsung S10+ Note to a Samsung S22 Ultra over the weekend and have discovered I no longer get any output for the TEST APP for the Calendar actions.  This had worked flawlessly and reliably on the Note for the 3+ years I had the Note.  When I run the 

    TEST APP - CALENDAR/DESCRIPTION/LOCATION/TITLE returns blanks for the arrays even when there are both interval and all day events to report.  

    Using the Calendar state to trigger a PROFILE seems to find all the calendars and trigger appropriately.

    Failure to assign non-default TTS on first "Say" command

    Fmstrat · 0 · Posted

    Using the attached task, the expected behavior would be:

    • Say "Test one" in `com.google.android.tts:eng-gbr`
    • Say "Test two" in `com.google.android.tts:eng-gbr`

    However, if you let the device sit for a while (~2 minutes) and run this task, you instead get:

    • Say "Test one" in default Android TTS
    • Say "Test two" in `com.google.android.tts:eng-gbr`

    Device: Galaxy S9+

    Android version 10

    This could be related to https://tasker.helprace.com/i234-tasker-say-voice-engine-bug, but I chose to post separately to not conflate a 3 year old report.

    Auto XML backups corrupted

    Colin Hemming · 2 · Last reply by Colin Hemming

    I have just tried to read the most recent automatic backup XML, but it's not a valid XML file. Manual files created are fine, but the automatic ones have no carriage returns (not critical, but irritating) and the tags have missing spaces, making them invalid, for example: <TaskerData sr=""dvi="1"tv="5.14.6">

    Use a Task error as an Event Profile?

    Ian Grody · 1 · Last reply by Albo

    It would be pretty useful if when a Task or the like %err's, that this can be used as an Event Context. We already get notifications; But for cases where Tasks are expected (and sometimes required) to fail, such an event context would be useful.

    An example of this is when wanting to dynamically adjust a Tasker service; say Accessibility. Task fails, %errmsg can be sent along with %caller() or the like.

    It'd be sooo much better than adding tonnes of workarounds all over the shop to individual tasks when most errors can be remedied in identical ways. Task errors,

    Alert > Popup Creates Scene Popup Conflict

    Mike Rubin · 3 · Last reply by Rich D

    Using the Alert > Popup creates a scene named "Popup".  This creates a conflict when trying to import any other project that also has a scene named "Popup".  Since scene names must be unique, no one can import my projects from Taskernet for this reason.   

      

    Perhaps create a scene with a random name that is unlikely to be in use elsewhere for Alert > Popup, or allow duplicate scene names across projects?
