    trigger doesn´t fire no more

    hanss · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi,

    tasker runs on a Huawei P10.

    after some days of try and error, i got the settings so tasker fires the

    trigger for %BATT ervery one% of %BATT changes.

    I tried it over 24 hours in power-saving mode and it works reliable.

    Some days later, without changes anything in the settings, the %BATT trigger doesn´t

    fire after 2hours in power-saving mode and I find no solution to fix it.

    This seems to be very unreliable and it would be fine if you have a solution.

    Shake sensitivity sometimes becomes too high, rebooting fixes

    Moleculor · 0 · Posted

    I have a simple profile set to go off when the phone is shaked 'left-right'.

    Sensitivity is very low. Duration is very long. Though I don't know what either of those things means (does 'very low' mean it it takes a very strong shake, or a very small shake to hit the very low threshold? Does 'very long' mean I have to shake it for a very long time, or it tracks motion for a very long time and looks to see if I slowly shook the phone?), it still functions about as I expect: I need a strong, firm,

    Plus ins need to be manually edited after tasker data restore on new device

    insaned · 0 · Posted

    Upon installation of a new device and the tasker restoration of data, tasker plug ins need to be re-edited manually (sometimes just click the edit button and exit is enough) to be able to work as it looks like otherwise it won't generate the variables. Even if each plug in app itself is opened beforehand, it stills need to be edited in tasker.

    NearCell, NearWifi only with Location service on Android9

    registry · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi, Neither the NearCell, nor the NearWifi/WifiConnected functions work when the Location service is turned off. Cmon' it's not as expected... I have to turn on the location service to get the info: Am I connected to wifi or not??? In this case if I need any info about my location (or the reachability of the Wifi), should I turn on the location service? It's crapy. Android 9 Nokia 7.1 Takser: 5.6

    Just like you fixed AutoInput (linked below), could you also apply that same fix to the main Tasker app?

    Toggle wifi in airplane mode

    yoco9 · 5 · Last reply by Peter Quinto

    Hi,

    Since my passage to Android P on my Samsung S9, it's impossible to activate WiFi in airplane mode.

    Is it tasker problem or Android Pie restriction ?

    Thanks.

    Lag between task commands

    Roh · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi. I'm fairly new to tasker, so I'm sorry if this has a very obvious solution. I have this task running (picture attached). It is activated when my car Bluetooth is disconnected from the phone. When it runs, there is a 5-10 second delay between #5 and #6. Is this any way to make this more fluid and have everything back to back? This is the only task that I've had this issue with. Everything else works flawlessly. Thanks!

    Tasker shutdown and reboot: other apps don't receive alert. 3C Toolbox and Custom Quick Settings manage this.

    bege · 2 · Last reply by bege

    Hi,

    the shutdown and reboot commands of Tasker don't give alert to other apps what causes some problems. The Tasker help says that this is also an issue of all other apps. But the same commands of 3C Toolbox Pro and of Custom Quick Settings let other apps react correct.

    Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus (SM-G901F), LineageOS for microG 15.1 (Android 8.1), rooted.

    Can you, please, add this to these Tasker commands, too?

    Launch App: Activities list is not complete

    bege · 0 · Posted

    The list of available activities in "launch app" is not complete. E.g. 3C Toolbox Pro has a reboot menu which is displayed for selection in the activities list of Nova Launcher, but it is missing in the list of Tasker.

    French accented characters are unknown for Tasker

    Yves Leduc · 2 · Last reply by Yves Leduc

    Hello,

    Is Tasker supported for French accented characters? When a pushed notification (from Text Ingredient from IFTTT) reaches Tasker, those accented characters are not recognized by Tasker. What's wrong ?

    Time profile does not trigger if the phone has not been used for some hours and had gone into a deep sleep.

    Marco Faccini · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have a reboot profile I want to trigger at 5.30 am. The task works when executed on its own. It would appear that the phone goes into some form of deep sleep and takes tasker with it. I have removed battery optimisation from tasker used use reliable alarms seeing and wake cell option in the monitor preferences. I have used timed profiles for many years in tasker but have never encountered a problem until now.

    My phone is Samsun A8 2018 Android 8. Stock room and is not rooted. The profile for reboot is using autoinput.

    Not sure if there's anything that can be done, but update to Chrome 72 for Android causes webview to render a blank screen when the source is HTML, works inside Tasker but not as exported app.
