    Torch level not setting with variable

    Cody Burgess · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    So I was troubleshooting a task with someone on Reddit and I found that when I used the torch if I set the torch level with a number, like 5 it works. But if I set the torch with any variable i.e. Torch level set to %torch where %torch = 5

    And it doesn't work. Does Torch not support variables? It doesn't say anything like that and it shows the option for variable select.

    Trial not working

    Hi. I downloaded taskr from the website and installed it specifically to try the trial version. I went through setup to enable a lot (maybe not all) of its functions. Then this page pops up (a few minutes after install) to say I have to buy it. What happened to the trial version? (Screenshot attached)

    I have a notification with two buttons that I use as toggles. They are red when on, green when off. They toggle great during the day, but lose their colors when dark mode is activated on my phone (see attachment.)

    Suggestions?

    Custom Notification Icon can't use any variables

    Angelo Ornopia · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I tried creating a battery status of my Mi Band 5 using notify but I noticed that only % appears but the value of the variable is correct. (Ex: 26)

    I also tried putting the number manually, it works. But if I'm using variable, it's not working. I even tried using Variable set just to convert the match from A1 to another variable but it also doesn't work and it shows %b instead. Meaning, it's not really converting the variable into its value. Just %battery.

    Unable to launch apps in Android 13

    J B · 4 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have a Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G (not rooted). Previously on Android 12. Just upgraded to Android 13, on any tasks to launch apps, I get the error "Launch App: failed to launch com.sec.android.app.xxx". It doesn't read like a permission issue. Run Log just shows "err" on the launch app task.

    I've tried re-setting cache from recovery menu.  Also tried wiping data/cache for the tasker app.

    Any suggestions?

    Can't connect to adb wifi Error

    Randy Juber · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Small white flashing box at the bottom of Tasker everytime I open it. It says "Can't connect to ADB Wifi. Check here: https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/help/ah_adb_wifi.html"

    This happens when I have zero profiles enabled, and ADB Wifi is disabled in Developer Options. I tried adding a port in the Tasker settings, but the error never goes away. Issue started after upgrading phone to Android 13, and was not having this nagging error message when running Android 12.

    Can't toggle WiFi in airplane mode

    matmielke · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello,

    I'm using tasker mainly for activating airplane mode and wifi in different situations.

    Unfortunately, on my Pixel 7Pro (security patch Dec. 2022), I can't switch WiFi on or off when the phone is in airplane mode.

    I can switch on or off when phone's radio is active.

    Tasker Settings 1.2.0 is installed, Tasker up to date, all permissions granted.

    Is there any solution?

    This behavior also seems to break the Toggle Wifi quick tile.

    Thanks,

    Matthias

    Assistance Request targetted to a specific app is always running for every app

    Tasker Version: 6.0.10

    App Check Method: Accessibility

    OS: LineageOS 19 (Android 12L)

    When using the Assistance Request event profile,  even when it's targetted to a specific application and the application is not loaded,  the profile still executes.

    Reproduce by:

    1. Create Event Profile with: Assistance Request for Calculator.  Action is Flash some text.

    2. Open any other app (eg. File Manager),  perform an assistance request,  and the Flash text will be shown.

    Set Alarm does not take into account "Vibrate" setting

    When I perform the action "Set Alarm" with "Vibrate" set to "Off", the alarm will still vibrate when it goes off. Changing the parameter does not seem to impact the alarm that will be set.

    However, the parameters for hours, minutes, and label work perfectly fine.

    Permissions Issue after uninstall/reinstall

    Oneplus 7 Pro. Rooted. Oxygen OS 10

    I accidentally uninstalled tasker, but I was lucky enough to have a recent backup. Upon reinstalling, a few of my tasks give me permissions errors.

    1) One of my tasks I use as an alarm. The "Music Play" action gives the following error:

    Old workaround possible for muting

    psisquared2 · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    On my Fairphone 4, Android 11, I ran into the known issue with Sound Mode -> Mute that you reported to Google in https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/205205662 (you can add the Fairphone 4 to the list of affected phones). I furthermore noticed that this old workaround on Reddit reliably sets the phone to Silent on my device:

    1. Set DND Mode "No interruptions"
    2. (Immediately) set DND Mode "Priority"
    3. Wait 50 ms
    4. Set DND Mode "Allow All"

    Not sure if it works on the other phones, but I found it worth mentioning.

    "Perform Task" return does not write to task variable

    As reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/wj17wy/perform_task_return_not_overwriting_task_variable/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

    "Problem: A "Perform Task" return value does not write directly into a task variable, it should absolutely be able to, IMO. Or is it intended for some reason? I would guess it is the same for project/profile variables. 

    So currently I have to name the return %somename, then var set %taskvar=%somename.

    Note that the "overwrite" and "replace on passthrough" are unrelated here, we're not talking about variable passthrough, but function call/return."

    Anomaly on taking into account calendar event

    B@rberousse · 7 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi there

    I created a profile that performs tasks on a calendar entry ("Telework" in this case). The event is recurrent in my calendar. The profile works perfectly.

    However, sometimes I have to change the date of one (or more) of my teleworking days.

    In this case, the scheduled tasks continue to run on the days when there is no more telework in my calendar and, conversely, do not run on the days when I have moved the telework.

    Any idea on solving the problem?

    Thanks in advance.
