Across multiple phones and Tasker versions, I have never found shake and gestures usable - either the false positive or false negative rate is much too high or it simply triggers the action when I'm positive it couldn't possibly have been performed.

One consistent bug I have noticed is that shake actions trigger when I pick the phone up off my desk after it's been motionless for a while. Sometimes when performing a gesture, the action starts triggering over and over again as if an infinite loop, as if some flag that should tell Tasker that the action was

Joao, please fix this, otherwise this action isn't useful to create dynamic scenes.

Thanks in advance

Dear Joao,

I work a lot with Context "Cell Near" e.g. to detect work places,...

To set the cells for my wifes place I look at the context in the evening when she comes home.

Sadly the history (in the cell near context magnifying glass) is to short and so does not show the cells from in the morning. Could you please at least double, better tripple the history or make it a preference.

I saw the Old Discussions at forum, it has no meaning...

Today I runned a shell script about "Getevent" -same as above discussions- with 5 sec of timeout. But it doesn't timeout.

And it worked on my device earlier, but after several updates, some months, today, it doesn't.

I performed above as task, give a stop action to that task, it doesn't stop itself.

==============================

So, the result is... you had an mistake with root permission.

A shell script action with root permission can't be controlled by tasker, th owner app.

It just can be excuted by, but

Hi!

I have created a widget on the home screen. Depending on the profile, I change the widget icon and text (and some other things) via tasks (Set Widget Icon). For the widget icon, I use an application icon since it launches the application when clicked.

There are two problems with the widget's icon:

When setting the icon to the application icon for Google Maps, it doesn't show the usual map icon but a red location marker instead. There seems to be a problem with how the application icon is selected. In the task definition in Tasker, the correct icon

Hello,

I can't record calls (incoming and outgoing). Let me explain.

For that I use a task with the action "Record sound", found in the tab "media". I have specified the destination path (correct path), and the name of the file that will be created. I put a maximum size of 300. Format: AMR Narrowband and the same for the codec.

When I receive a call and answer (task triggering), an error message appears: "Failure to initialize the recorder")...

However, the action works if I change the source and put "Microphone".

How can i solve this problem ?

Thank you in

If I set a task to launch an app it will only do it if I have tasker open and running in the foreground and I'm browsing inside it. Otherwise apps aren't launching e.g from home screen with tasker minimised.other things like vibrate on trigger work so the task is initiated. But apps do not launch. Seeing the logs it says all is good and app is launched.

Example:

Event: shake up and down -> task: 1) vibrate, 2) launch camera.

If I'm inside tasker in any menu, if I shake 1 and 2 happen. But if I'm anywhere else,

Yesterday (or possibly one or two days before, I had tasker turned of for a while) one of my tasks that have been working for years started chrashing. After some debugging I've isolated the error to a 'set variable' where I add two other variables using 'do maths'. The problem occurs when the second of the variables added is negative. Trying to replicate the errror I found that if i just tried to set %newvar to e. g. 3+-1 there's no problem, but if i first set %var to e. g. 0-1 (getting a negative result) and the try to

I try to set up Event -> Notification under Second Space (MUI11, Android 10).

The task works well after I save it but in a couple of minutes it stops working and Tasker asks me to set the Notification Access again that I already set. It says: Error still missing permission Notification Access. On the same phone but under First Space is everything ok.

I tried to reboot the phone. It helps for a while but then it happens again.

Does anyone know a solution?

- installed tasker paid version from playstore on previous device - migrated to new device without issue - de-googled new device - tasker now displays message stating it is expired trial version what to do ?

Hi

My device is a Huawei MediaPad M5 tablet running Android 8 and the "Set Timezone" action appears red and cannot be used. This is preventing me from creating a task to update the timezone depending on GPS location.

I know very little about Android programming but I found the link below and was wondering if it has anything to do with the issue. Please take a look.

If my notification text does not contains comma ot shows correctly. Notification text:

<p style="color:#eeeeee;">This is text and text again</p>

But if I include commas it shows like this. Notification text:

<p style="color:#eeeeee;">This is text, and text again</p>

my tasker app suggested me to update the app and once i try to update it through https://support.taskrabbit.com/hc/en-ca/articles/204409600-How-Do-I-Download-the-Tasker-App-

it couldn’t install the file. Now i cant open the app and get an error as unable to install Tasker.

i tried to install both former and current versions if the app, sane thing happens. 

i have already booked for some tasks for next days but can’t see the adresses nor i have any tool to warn the clients. 

Sometimes you need to have more than one Google account on your phone. 

But having multiple accounts disables purchases/registration in some autoapps, especially autoweb.

It would be nice to have this restriction removed as no amount of clearing cache and reinstalling autoweb+autoapps fixes the problem. 

When I go to the scenes tab and tap the plus sign, I'm prompted to name my scene. As soon as I tap the check mark after naming, Tasker crashes. Backed up data, reinstalled, and restored. Same result.

I'm going mad and can't pinpoint the issue.

Honor View 20, Magic 3.0.0, Android version 10.

I was ADB authorising Tasker, Join and Autovoice for Android 10 and since then my Android system switches the Keyboard input methods between my keyboard, Tasker and Join, making typing virtually impossible as the keyboard minimises every few seconds.

I have tried the basics of uninstalling, reinstalling, re-authorising, trying different keyboards installs but nothing holds. I can't find any other similar issues online so it must be something very specific I have done but not sure where to start. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey joao,

After I use logcat entry for fingerprint action, the bubbles of "Click to stop logging" every time I use multi windows. See video.

Thanks

I'll add a screen shot when I am on my PC as you have to drag and drop them on this website, so I can't do it from my phone.

This might just be a bug in Tasker that needs fixing. But if it's not possible to stop get voice from failing, then a continue task after error is needed so that the situation can be managed, eg try again.

Tenho a versão paga (última do play store). Não estou conseguindo criar regras no estado ou evento, porque?

I'm pretty sure it was working some time ago, but no matter if I use the device name or MAC, it keeps connected. I tried unpairing it as well just to see what happens and it throws the error "Unknown error removing bond".

Is there any chance disconnecting devices will work again on Xiaomi devices?
