    detection of wireless charging

    Scharkieh · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Is it possible that the detection of (wireless?) charging is slow/unreliable when motion detection setting in preferences is turned on?

    Background: I have a home profile that becomes active when either wifi connection OR location (geofence) indicate that I am at home. Since I do not want the home profile to be active when my car profile is active I also added the condition “not car-profile active”. The car profile becomes active as soon as wireless charging is detected and stays active as long as the phone is in contact with the wireless charger. – Now, when I leave home,

    Launch App only works if I'm inside tasker

    Cotov · 1 · Last reply by Cotov

    If I set a task to launch an app it will only do it if I have tasker open and running in the foreground and I'm browsing inside it. Otherwise apps aren't launching e.g from home screen with tasker minimised.other things like vibrate on trigger work so the task is initiated. But apps do not launch. Seeing the logs it says all is good and app is launched.

    Example:

    Event: shake up and down -> task: 1) vibrate, 2) launch camera.

    If I'm inside tasker in any menu, if I shake 1 and 2 happen. But if I'm anywhere else,

    When Tasker has Notification Access & Do Not Disturb Access (to control ringer) it breaks the Greyscale feature of Wind Down in Android 10

    Josh McKevitz · 3 · Last reply by Josh McKevitz

    I've been using a Pixel 2 since they were released and I used to have a profile which would see I am near my work's wifi and then set my ringer to 0 as not to disturb coworkers. This worked perfectly and had no ill effects for a few years.

    I'm not sure exactly when, probably around February/March, the Greyscale feature of Wind Down would, seemingly at random times, disable itself after it had been activated (both manually & by time of day).

    I was able to narrow the behavior down to Tasker and, specifically, Notification/DnD access permissions.

    Notification on new messages is missing when app is back from deny net access mode

    D · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi, 

    I'm trying to restrict network access (Wi-Fi & Data) to Gmail and WhatsApp, i.e. no access for certain period of time. The problem is that whenever there were new messages in "restricted" time, then they don't pop-up automatically when "unrestricted" time kicks in. However if they are received in "unrestricted" time, then they do pop-up. Now I have to open apps and see, if there are any new messages. What I would like to achieve - is to disable network access to these apps, and if there were new messages in "restricted" time, then to get pop-up in for

    Wrong Application Icon in Widget

    Michael · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi!

    I have created a widget on the home screen. Depending on the profile, I change the widget icon and text (and some other things) via tasks (Set Widget Icon). For the widget icon, I use an application icon since it launches the application when clicked.

    There are two problems with the widget's icon:

    When setting the icon to the application icon for Google Maps, it doesn't show the usual map icon but a red location marker instead. There seems to be a problem with how the application icon is selected. In the task definition in Tasker, the correct icon

    Android 10 Tasker Notification Information

    OnkelM · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi, the implemented idea a couple days ago which allowed the Tasker Notification Information to be collapsed and show the current profiles in the Notification Title worked for Android 9 very good.

    I upgraded to Android 10 and now Notifications are showed duplicated and sometimes it switches back to only one as it should be but immediately duplicates again. And for the main issue, it seems the Profiles are not written to the Notification Title again like prior the idea implementation.

    Application profiles broken since v5.8

    Erik Dorner · 2 · Last reply by Erik Dorner

    HTC Butterfly S Android 5.0.2 XPosed framework v80 Tasker 5.8 - 5.8.5

    Hi João,

    My application-context profiles, which used to work flawlessly for years, have been broken since the rollout of Tasker v5.8. They became unreliable. They either don't trigger at all (in one or both directions), or activate only for a brief moment (i.e. the exit task immediately follows the entry task even though the assigned app was never moved from the foreground).

    A couple of days ago I returned to 5.7.2 (from 5.8.5), so they are working fine again. Can you please find out what went wrong in

    Existing profiles are automatically enabled when you import scripts from Taskernet System

    pearhuman · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Sometimes, when you import Profiles/Projects (including profiles) from the Taskernet system, several existing profiles that have been disabled are automatically enabled. (As shown in the video below)

    I found that if the ID of profile in the import script is the same as an existing profile, the existing profile will be enabled automatically. For instance, in the script that will be imported below, the ID of the profile is 4. If there is an existing profile with an id of 4, in the case, the profile will be enabled automatically.

    Increase history items for "cell near" context

    Dear Joao,

    I work a lot with Context "Cell Near" e.g. to detect work places,...

    To set the cells for my wifes place I look at the context in the evening when she comes home.

    Sadly the history (in the cell near context magnifying glass) is to short and so does not show the cells from in the morning. Could you please at least double, better tripple the history or make it a preference.

I have a task I would like to execute when I receive a text notifying me of a ticket, but Tasker won't see an incoming text if sent via SMTP? Let's say the 'sender' is example@work.com. If I add this e-mail address to an existing contact, the profile fails to trigger any event. If I

    system timer input method flickers

    Kasper Guldmann · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    When creating a "Start system timer" action (which sets a normal countdown timer), you are given a horizontal slider which lets you set the countdown time from 1-86400 seconds. This is not a good input method. It is made even worse because the length of the slider depends on the value of the slider (since the value is written to the left of the slider), which causes the value to jump back and forth between two values while you're dragging the slider.

    Entering a value like 1200 seconds requires either extreme luck or incredible patience while pressing "up" 1190 times.
