    Send SMS option Store In Messaging App is unchecked, but the SMS still shows up in messaging app

    bucky · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have a basic profile for replying location:

    Look at received texts

    -> Get Location v2 (Enable location if needed)

    -> Send SMS (send to %smsrf; message is map url; Store in messaging app is unchecked)

    The sent sms still shows up in the default messages app (Google Messages).  Does the same thing on a Pixel and Pixel 3.

    Are there any suggestions as to how to stop the sent message from showing up in the messaging app?

    Thanks,

    I'm calling a bunch of URLs with HTTP Request on various events. Noticed that these don't work if the url starts with a capital Http - it must be lowercase http.

    Screen Capture Action allways ask permission on Xiaomi MIUI 11

    Green Bet · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello.

    Actually, my device is an Xiaomi Redmi 8 Miui 11 (Android 9). When I use "Screen Capture Action", or "AutoInput Screen capture" in a task, allways ask permission to initiate the record, so I can't automate screen capture because of user interaction is needed. In my previous device (Moto G3rd android 6.0.1)  theese actions works fine.

    Could you told me how I can solve it? 

    I've attached screen capture showing the message. Sorry, it is in spanish.

    Thanks in advance.

    Has %INTERRUPT changed its format?

    Gary Lane · 2 · Last reply by Gary Lane

    I ahd a profile which looked at the state of %INTERRUPT before changing it so that it could be restored later.  It stopped working recently (not sure when).  However where %interrupt used to one of the values:

    1. all
    2. alarms
    3. none
    4. priority

    It appears now to return a numeric value?  Any idea what these are, when and how the change happened and whether we can rely on the new values in profiles or tasks?

    "Alarm done" does not work after update

    David LA · 2 · Last reply by David LA

    I have recently updated my system rom and Gapps packages. The new clock app is now slightly different (which is very cool and with assistant now integrated). It seems tasker has stopped recognising when my alarm is done and my profile is not triggering any more. Any fixes for that?

    Testing if indirectly referenced variable is set generates error in the Tasker editor; Workround given.

    Steve Waring · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    With the following task, if lines three to five are not deactivated, then the error shown below will pop up when the tasker editor is started, if you edit the task. That is, just open up the task, don't change it, close it, close the tasker editor, open the tasker editor and the error dialogue shown will pop up. There is no need to run the task to get the error message. Lines three to five actualy work fine, you just get an error message every time you edit the task.

    "Bluetooth Connection" Disconnect not working on Xiaomi Mi Mix 3

    dantist · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I'm pretty sure it was working some time ago, but no matter if I use the device name or MAC, it keeps connected. I tried unpairing it as well just to see what happens and it throws the error "Unknown error removing bond".

    Is there any chance disconnecting devices will work again on Xiaomi devices?

    Tasker crashes if Get voice doesnt recognize speech

    Ray Gllisse · 2 · Last reply by Ray Gllisse

    If there's no answer when a get voice action is launched, Tasker crashes instead of continuing to next action.

    That's important to me, as I'd like to use voice control to acknowledge being alive and safe in mountain, and if not, I might not be able to answer, the lack of answer repeatedly 3 times would be the signal to send sms to rescue team.

    It can work only if get voice action doesnt make Tasker crash in case of lack of answer

    Thanks for your help

    JS writeFile append parameter ignored

    Friedrich Hehl · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    The "append" parameter for the JS function "writeFile()" described in the wiki here seems to be ignored and is always set to false.

    To reproduce this issue:

    1. Create a task with the Javascriptlet
    2. Run the task and look for "log.txt". Check that "some random text" appears on line 1.
    3. Go back to the task and change "some random text" into "text to append".
    4. Run the task again.
    5. Check log.txt and see that "some random text" has disappeared and only "text to append" is visible.

    Can anyone reproduce?

    I am running Tasker 5.7.2 on Android 8.0.0.

    Get Voice can fail so it needs a continue task after error option.

    Steve Waring · 3 · Last reply by Steve Waring

    I'll add a screen shot when I am on my PC as you have to drag and drop them on this website, so I can't do it from my phone.

    This might just be a bug in Tasker that needs fixing. But if it's not possible to stop get voice from failing, then a continue task after error is needed so that the situation can be managed, eg try again.

    Alarm Changed is not triggering when last alarm is off

    Even when there's suddenly no more next alarm because the last alarm already occurred or the next alarms are turned off the Alarm Changed event should trigger. All variables like na_time should be not set in the event to indicate there's no next alarm.

But not really sure if it's an error or if Tasker should work like this way actually.   + > Profile (event) > File > (all of them)   The "bug" is that if there is more than one profile monitoring the same directory (e.g. /Download), the following will happen: If both profiles are enabled, only one of them will get fired (the last created one most of the times). If one of the profiles is disabled, the other won't get fired. Here doesn't

    Remove multiple Google account restrictions in Autoweb

    Ravi Warrier · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Sometimes you need to have more than one Google account on your phone. 

    But having multiple accounts disables purchases/registration in some autoapps, especially autoweb.

    It would be nice to have this restriction removed as no amount of clearing cache and reinstalling autoweb+autoapps fixes the problem.
