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.

I 've tried to relocate the file in a different folder like android/music but same problem.

I am trying to make an HTTP request to https://developer-api.nest.com in my task.  I have a working auth token and can make my request work fine in Postman and/or CURL on my PC.  But when I try the exact same request in a tasker task I get a 401.

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

Am I configuring this wrong?  I followed the directions (separate name and value with a colon and no extra spaces).  Authentication is even one of the examples in the doc and this looks exactly like it so it should be working

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.

Hi,

last week open map action stop working well , here is a forum where i reported it, and it was tested by one more user on S9 - but was working for him, 

Tasker topic - Forum

I use it daily (twice a day, sometimes more) and last week it stop working, it navigate to the wrong address, always, I actually change my task to sue spot instead of navigating so it will continue working for now, here is the tasker app: navHelper I probably have a new version if needed for troubleshooting

point to make is that all my addresses

Samsung S9 doesn't seem to play sound file with notify action. The same file plays fine when used e.g. with Play Music.

i got this error trying to enabling mobile data on moto g6+ with android 9 (rooted), is the same problem with "Secure Settings Plugin", i have v5.8.2 of tasker

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.

HTTP GET works fine, but when using HTTP Request function the trust any certificate option does not appear to work.

After updating to (5.7.2, 20190513) I am unable to do the following

There is an annoying bug in the current beta version of AutoInput. The Stop Video action does not have any effect.

I first reported this on reddit, but neglected to post it here.

Everything works correctly in the stable version.

Hello João,

I have been enjoyed a paid version of Tasker for years and recently subscribed to your AutoApps. However, in the last few weeks, Tasker is often freezing. Also, profiles that previously worked are suddenly freezing (see screenshot for examples of both). I have been using Tasker on Oreo (Samsung Galaxy S8+, v. 5.2) for almost a year, so this can't be the source of the problem. When the problem appeared, I verified that Tasker is excluded from battery optimization. I also reinstalled and then upgraded to v. 5.6, but the problem persists.

1. Can you guess what

When exporting an app with App Factory the attached issue happens on some devices.

Hi,

I have a Tasker profile that speaks new text messages while I have a bluetooth connection to any device.  Since migrating to my new S10, this profile stopped working.  I've seen this issue on reddit, but after following the links posted and trying all the steps, it still doesn't work.  Below is a list of settings that I've checked.  Am I missing something?  Thanks in advance for your help!

Settings:

Tasker is enabled Notifications are on 'Use reliable alarms' enabled Power mode is optimized. Adaptive power saving is off. Optimize settings is off. {Battery -> Setting -> Settings power

I want to get an old phone that would work to "take  call"

Help me plase.

I do not plan to spend money on a phone with Android 8, нow kindly suggested to me the author of the program, while closing my previous topic.

I want to get an old phone that would work to "take  call"

Help me plase.

Trying to use Tasker to change the hotword in Android 9 Pie.  I followed the only instructions I could find online (https://www.techjunkie.com/change-ok-google/) but am running in to some issues. Here's what happens: 1.    I get to the point where I am speaking my new hotword in the "Speak Filter". 2.    After speaking my new hotword a window opens asking me to "Choose Voice Command" from a list (which includes variations of the command I just spoke). 3.    Once I choose (confirm) my voice command the "Choose Voice Command" window closes, and "The Hard Way" page comes back up. 4.   

I cannot update to 5.7.1 or 5.7.2 because if I do,  an important task of mine no longer works.

I use the ping action (retries=2), configured to continue task after error occurs (e.g. if target hist is unreachable)

However in the case that the host is unreachable %err is not set. Therefore the following conditional execution which checks %err is wrong.

This used to work in earlier versions of tasker e.g 5.6.

I first reported this in the Tasker Google Groups (including screenshot examples):

Summary:

I've been a long-time Tasker user, and the recent update has resulted in strange behavior.

I have two profiles I use to automatically control my volume settings while at the office. They activate when in range of the office WiFi during business hours, and during meetings. After the 5.7 update, both of these profiles show the alarm clock icon in the status bar, even though there is no alarm set. When I disable both of the profiles, the alarm clock icon goes away.

I'm using Android P on a Samsung S8, and have been using the Turn Off feature for a few months without issue. After the 5.7 release, it keeps changing my phone's screen timeout to 1 second instead of just turning the screen off. So if I start using my phone, the screen keeps turning off if I don't touch it constantly.

I tried adding a Device Timeout setting to the task as a workaround, but after the Turn Off runs in the task, it doesn't run the Device Timeout (even if I add a Wait for a couple of seconds).
