    Alarm Clock Event Does Not Trigger

    Robert L Ryan · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    The Alarm Clock event context does not seem to work on my Galaxy S9 with Android 8.0. I am using the stock alarm app. My Tasker version is 5.5

    I have tried both named and unnamed alarms. Here is one of the test profiles I used:

    No toast appears when the alarm goes off.

    Switching GPS on off

    Mark M · 0 · Posted

    Hi, phone is Sony Xperia Z1 running 4.4.4, I've installed Tasker and AutoTools and successfully run adb command line to allow WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS. But I can't get Tasker to turn on GPS. Any ideas? Is it possible? Thanks. (phone is not rooted, i was hoping Auto Tools would make that unnecessary)

    EDIT - ignore me I was doing it wrong! Works - what a great app!

    Phone Ringing Profile stopped working - followup

    Mark Stevenson · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi Joao,

    Thanks for the reply but I've updated to the beta app and the event is still not triggering with CG:Blocked.

    The group selection popup is still titled "Menu Timeout" with duplicates in the list.

    Is there anything else I need to do?

    Thanks,

    Mark

    Phone Ringing Profile stopped working.

    Mark Stevenson · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I'm having a problem with a profile that used to work well. I use a "phone ringing" event with caller set to caller group "blocked" to reject calls. However it is no longer triggering when I receive a call from a group member. I decided to re-set the event condition and chose "match against a contact group". The popup that appears is entitled "Menu Timeout" ? and has a a number of duplicate entries including "family" twice, but "blocked" only once. I know the contacts app has had a number of updates and the groups are now 'labels' but what

    Phone Ringing Event Not Working

    Erickt420 · 4 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have a Pixel 2 XL on Android P.

    I am unable to get the Phone Ringing Event to fire at all when I receive calls. I have the volume on and am calling from a phone with a custom ringtone set. The UI of the app shows no activity when I receive a call, and the run log is completely empty after calling myself multiple times. The task that should fire simply sets a variable to 1 for now.

    Please let me know if I can provide any other information to help debug this issue.

    Google Drive Backup Failed - Beta 5.4.5b

    Philip Schaffer · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    The Google Drive Backup feature of Beta 5.4.5b appears to fail if an apostrophe is used in the device name.  Tasker is able to create the Tasker\data\backups folder but never creates the subfolder with the device name.  My device was named "Phil's S8".  After changing the name to "Phils S8", the device folder and backup file were created correctly.  I suspect this issue is caused by the apostrophe being interpreted as a delimiter.

    Tasker crashes when creating task with too many steps

    Pascal Ledoux · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have a task that's nearing 170 steps in tasker, and whenever I add about 5 more steps, tasker will crash when I try to edit any step of the task... For now I split off my task into two and have both called up when a trigger fires up, but I'll be needing this fixed to finish up the project.

    Couldn't seem to find any solution to this. Tasker is up to date, and I'm running Android 7.1.2.

    Deletion of two profiles at the same time is not possible

    Wolfgang Voigt · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    When I want to delete two profiles (or more) at the same time I select them both first.

    But the delete icon doesn't work then. It works when only one profile is selected, but not for two.

    I thinks this should be an easy fix.

    Regards

    Test File File Size Problem

    David White · 4 · Last reply by João Dias

    Used tasker for years on Android 4.4. Now forced onto 7 and uh oh... I used tasker to check presence of a file by testing file size. I believe this is the documented way to go about this. However, on Android 7 I am seeing these in the debug log. It appears that tasker is performing an ls command and that seems right. But it seems it is not prepared for the output it gets. Maybe I am wrong?

    Can't purchase

    Joseph · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi, is there anywhere else I can purchase this from besides the PlayStore? Like the amazon app store, just that I only use 1 email address with all my payment details on and that's Hotmail, I only use made up Gmail accounts, I'd Never trust Google to store any of my details. If not I'd have to wait until received enough rewards on my made up Gmail account. Thanks.

    A uma falta muito grande na tradução das strings em português e esse erro já esta no tasker faz tempo. Queria que a tradução fosse melhor para um app que está pago na play store. E também deixem o guia do usuário em português.

    I've just invested in a new phone and wanted to relocate my Tasker app to it.

    Downloaded the latest release (5.2.bf1) from tasker.joaoapps.com and installed on the new phone, but when I open the app and look for the "Order Validation" choice under /More/ menu I can't find it.
