    Music image in szenes no longer working

    Leon Nündel · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have set up a szene for my music controls some time ago and it worked absolutely fine and displayed the track image, but after the last update it does no longer display the image given from a variable. The called variable is set by the "Music track changed" event's child variable %mt_art and contains a path to the image.

    On Asus Zenfone 8, bluetooth state is not correct

    Mathieu Blanvillain · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi Joao, 

    I've sent you an email through the app. I open a problem as well for the follow up.

    I create the same profile over and over again on different devices (Pixel 5, Pixel 4a, Xperia XA2 etc ...) and they are working fine.

    But with my asus zenfone 8 I cannot make tasker to read, correctly, the bluetooth state.

    What does it mean ? 

    I have a profile and task saying that if the phone is connected to my band (Mi Band 5), then volume of everything should be set to maximum. 

    Actually, Tasker never detects when my

    Setting/changing notification volume (or any volume setting) ends DND mode if turned on by Tasker?

    Wayne K · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Is it expected behavior that implicitly changing the volume level via Tasker would turn off DND mode if turned on by tasker? Doesn't seem to do this if DND is turned on via Android UI. See attachment for VERY simple reproduction case.

    I have a Nexus 6p and all I want to do is completely disable the proximity sensor since the phone goes black when I make a call

    Chuck · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Please tell me exactly (I'm dumb) how to completely disable the proximity sensor, since when I make a call the screen goes black.

    Otherwise, since I just bought Tasker, if I can't do this, I want to return it for a refund.

    It's the only reason I bought it.

    Thanks!

    phone.setSimPowerStateForSlot causing issues

    Don't know if it has been reported or not. And i do hope i can explain the issue for you guys to understand.

    I have a task where i disable my 2nd sim when i have a day off according a certain calendar entry. I use the ADB Wifi command phone.setSimPowerStateForSlot (1.0) to disable it.

    Power Any stopped working

    Lucas · 4 · Last reply by João Dias

    Out of nowhere "Power: Any" state change stopped being detected.

    Zero clues. Zero messages.

    Is there a way to discover the reason ? A Log ?

    That Run Log from tasker itself doesn't register anything

    I even created the simplest possible task (to beep) when power:any triggers. No deal.

    Get Location v2 error: "Location was disabled"

    nickjedl · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello

    I am having an issue with using Get Location v2.

    My device: Samsung Galaxy S9, Android 10, OneUI 2.5

    Tasker: 5.12.22 and it has all permissions.

    Location is definitely enabled on my phone and I am testing outdoors.

    If I use only Get Location v2 the task will return this error

    However if I add Get Location (v1) in front of it, it does work:

    Enabling High Accuracy on v2 doesn't work and isn't really something I want to do.

    I have no specific settings in v2, other than Last Location on Timeout and Enable if Needed there is

    While loop in tasks stops working after a while

    Vidicanvlad01 · 3 · Last reply by Lucas

    Hello!

    I have this profile set up:

    STATE -> Variable Value ~ 1

    Task:

    A loop in which every 5 seconds it should do a http request and check whether or not it should open an app. This includes a Wait of 5 sec and a Goto 1 after the loop ended.

    This works for a while, however after 2 hours (http request no longer required the app to open), it stops working (http request now requires it to). It's just like the profile and task never existed.

    I have another profile which works fine, so Tasker isn't killed. I

    Missing Permissions notification popping up frequently

    Ryttch · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi! Whenever a task is saved or when closing Tasker, this message shows Tasker needs the following permissions(s) for the functionality you have configured: Access fine location *Variable %WIFII The problem is, I'm aware the variable works with location only, but I denied this permission in purpose, because it is not needed for what I'm trying to accomplish. Only THAT variable is necessary for my task. Now, is there a way to prevent this notifications to pop up again and again? Because it is driving me crazy to click on cancel every time I try to configure some tasks. If

    No permission to check license

    Hi,

    I had Tasker installed on a new Samsung S21 running Android 11 - this was installed as part of migration from old to new phone. On the new phone I've never run Tasker, or set it up at all.

    I've kept getting toast type messages randomly appear on my phone saying there was no permission to check for a license. I had no idea which app was causing this, but after pulling the logs I can now see it was Tasker. ADB logcat snippet below:

    Power button double-tap action isn't triggering on S10

    I've seen the video on doing this with the Bixby key but am not having luck reproducing it with the power key.

    KEYBOARD action causes screen keyboard to disappear then reappear.

    Joe Cornelius · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Thanks for such an amazing tool!

    I just used a 9 button scene and KEYBOARD action to create a DPAD and give myself the &^%$#@!!! arrow keys (and, eventually, the Delete key) missing from most keyboards.

      Good news:  It works!

    Bad news:

      The keyboard disappears, then reappears after a beat.

    It's kind of jarring to use, as-is.

    Setting the "don't restore keyboard" flag is an ok workaround, but if it's possible to choose not to hide the keyboard that would be useful.
