    bege · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I use latest Custom Quick Settings and Tasker versions on Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus (SM-G901F), LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1).

    Custom Quick Settings tiles like reboot and reboot recovery work from quick settings, but using them in Tasker has no result.

    manual backup only creates local backup and restore only restores from cloud

    Gunther3613 · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    When migrating to a  new phone the settings don't get copied over with Samsung Smart Switch. So, I tried creating a manual backup on the old phone, which creates a local file backup but the manual restore option looks for a Google drive backup.

    Please sync up manual backup and restore options.

    Tasker Crashes

    anonymized · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Tasker occasionally crashes. Quite old problem and have not been fixed still. And when it does crash, it also triggers all or most of the tasks to action, apparently all at the same time. This is very old problem since Tasker 4 and have had this with Android 5, 6 and 7.

    Might be some bug if too much going on at the same time? Maybe should optimize my stuff and give different priorities to tasks (as I have never done that)? Or maybe need more powerful smartphone to run my stuff without crashing?

    I have observed that crash phenomenon

    Media volume - Level different via profile

    Lars Olsen · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi.

    When a media volume task is executed from a profile, the level is lower than if you execute the task directly.

    Example: I have a profile that executes a task when a spesific bluetooth device is connected.  The task is set to open Spotify, wait for 10 seconds and adjust the media volume to max (30). But the volume is always set to lower than max. I have to reach down in my pocket to get the 2 or 3 last clicks up to max. The task works as intended if I press the play button inside the task

    Profiles not working on Xiaomi MIA1 Android PIE 9.0 when screen is locked

    achar · 6 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello, i'm using tasker for several years now for some routine scripts (launch music player when bluetooth headset is connected then launch music, send domoticz commands when i come home, that kind of things). I updated my phone (Xiaomi MIA1) to Android 9.0 friday night and now tasker is not able to activate any profile at all. The app is of course removed from battery optimization and is always running. I activated all permissions and accessibility either.

    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it did nothing. If i test the profiles one by one it works correctly. Thanks.

    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.

    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

    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.
