    Clipboard monitoring in Tasker Beta and Android 10

    Frank Schmidt · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hey,

    I tried to new beta to get clipboard monitoring back working again. I manged to get an event on clipboard actions but the %CLIP variable is always empty. Also the event is fired on if no clipboard action has taken place. A wanted to check if %CLIP has really changed before firing my task. But as the variable is empty it's not working as intended.

    Application profiles broken since v5.8

    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

    269red · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    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.

    Received Text profile does not recognize an associated e-mail when text is sent via SMTP...

    Will Broach · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    So let me summarize the issue I'm having.

    I receive a text message when I have been assigned a help desk ticket from work, but this text is sent to me from a server as a SMTP message. (Example: 8435361234@@text.republicwireless.com will send a text to me).. 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

    I purchased Tasker and downloaded to my phone. No problems.

    I want to build and test my profiles on my Laptop using BlueStacks 4.  After downloading Tasker and SharpTools to my phone I used them to build my first Profile to control a Smartthings device.  I then  downloaded Smartthings, Tasker and SharpTools to BlueStacks 4 on my PC and I could do everything that I could do on my phone.  I then tried the same thing on my Laptop.  Smartthing and SharpTools downloaded to my Laptop's Bluestacks 4 just fine, but, even though I choose Tasker from my Google Account My Apps, Tasker Secondary installs instead.

    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.

    Hi,

    On my Samsung S10+ with Android 9 the action Notify with a specified file sound doesn't play this file but the default sound of incoming calls (not the default notification sound !).

    All these files are mp3. They sound right with the action play sound.

    HTTP request not working and not clear why

    I have included the following in the HTTP Request action for headers:

    Android Pie and Display Brightness

    SmartPhoneLover · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi Joao,

    I would like to report an issue regarding the Display Brightness action, from latest Tasker v5.8.2.

    Some users, me included, are reporting an abnormal function of that action when changing the device brightness. Known issues:

    - First time action is opened (added to the task), a huge number is shown: 1000+ (value). So, very out of range from 0-255.

    - When running the action with 255 value set, the device brightness doesn't get changed properly.

    So, I'm not sure why is this happening. Maybe because the API changed, so old code is not working as expected in Tasker.

    Tasker popup notification requesting missing permission: Root Access

    Gicci · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Since a few days I get popup notifications stating that a required permission is missing, listing the "Root Access" as the needed one.

    Of course that's not an Android permission which can be granted, so the message is already confusing, and no action is performed when clicking the notification.

    It would be good at least to display which is the action that is triggering that request, so that the user could check and modify it.

    I am using a Samsung S10 with Android 9.
