When installing, I think I did something wrong and I would love some help from you people here. Permissions and everything went well, but after the reboot, I get 5 "Error! Looping task" or "Error! No display off data!" notifications either when the screen is off or right after I wake the phone up. All .txt files in /sdcard/DSD are either empty, or contain "null" or "." . And yes, toolbox is indeed in /data/DSD. What's gone wrong?

Edit: OH, I also get a toast notification on the lines of "Making an emergency backup on the SD card" at times. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] bgx:
Hey brandall! Whats up? Any plan to release V11? Are you fine?

Still getting very often the Error "Error! No display off data!" with V10...

Hope you are ok?
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
Hi Bgx, Brandall said he would be away for a few days. I'm sure he's ok, he just had a minor matter to resolve with the police. It was a tiny matter that was blown out of all proportion, there was a perfectly good explanation for him to be walking around the town centre wearing a shower cap and carrying a tub of vaseline and a rubber chicken ;)
[Android Apps and Games] strictlyrude27:
Oh, jeez. I was wondering about that. I've been lurking in the background watching your guys' stand-up comedy routine, glad that's not over :)
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
LOL! I was really hoping to keep that quiet...

V11 finished and will upload later this evening... For those in a different time zone and this evening is already yesterday for you, then in about 7 hours from the time of this post.

V11 has ad hoc error logging, so will be able todiagnose all issues with the touch of a button!

Laters....
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
Excellent news! Thank you as ever and welcome back boss!

EDIT: I just gave you your 500th thanks press ;) Congratulations you old bugger!
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thank you thank you! Although I'm quite concerned that you clearly know my whereabouts and now have posted a picture of me from what is supposed to be a private dating website... Although to be honest, I'm not getting many hits, so will probably cease my membership anyway...

[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
I hear you nobnut, but firstly it comes back to the reporting of 'Deep Sleep Potential' of which there isn't any when a media app is in use. I need to be able to report this accurately as a foundation of the application. If a media application leaves behind a rogue wakelock, then this will be detected regardless of the media being included in the DSP calculations. If I rule this out of the DSP calculations, then I may as well rule out 'well I knew I was on the phone', 'I knew it was on charge' and then I'm left with not a lot that makes this application different from chamonix's reporting tool...

If a user has this installed on an ongoing basis, they'll probably become addicted to seeing that they are running at 90%+ of DSP. If that suddenly drops, then the user will be alerted and will want to know why... I need this 'real-time flag' to make looking into the reporting side purposeful, rather than hopeful... Hope that makes sense! :confused:

Hi metalboy94, sorry for the delay in responding - try the new V11 and see if that solves the issue. If not, post back and I will sort for you.

The 'making an emergency backup' error has been reported to the Dev of Tasker and is associated with running any task from a launcher - so not cause by the DSD.

Hey bgx, sorry for the delay, but thanks for your concern - just been busy with real life and getting V11 finished, which I hope will fix your problem. I tool a look at your wakelock issue and can only establish that 'svnet' is something to do with the Samsung media drivers. You mentioned previously that you've had trouble with media contexts - have you used any work around that could be leaving the media player active when it's no longer playing media??
[Android Apps and Games] strictlyrude27:
did you take care of only clearing DSD notifications, or will that never happen?
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Yeah, sorted it... :) Sorted everything I hope! Let me know what you think... About to check my emails as I think I've got a couple from you...
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
V11 ReUploaded!

Sorry - missed out a media file from the .zip....

Oops!

If you are getting the DSDNot.mp3 error, that'll be why - please download it from the .zip below if you don't want to download the full V11 again (nothing else has changed)

It goes in the folder /sdcard/DSD/Lib
[Android Apps and Games] strictlyrude27:
brandall -

While importing all tasks, I got some errors saying that some tasks already exists when I tried to import. I deleted all DSD tasks beforehand.

I think that you can vastly simplify the import by writing a task that just references all the other tasks; same goes with profiles. Just a theory, but doing so might allow one to import exactly 1 task and 1 profile. Of course, put a stop as action #1 so that accidental execution won't screw anything up!
[Android Apps and Games] bgx:
Hey brandall! Nice to read you released v11. Have imported the new version and being testing at the moment! Till now it seemed working fine. Will report if I had problems.

Yeah real life problems we had all from time to time!

Till now I doesn't find a good solution for the media problem. But wen I find something I let you know!
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Tasker seems to store 'ghosts' somewhere of files you previously had - if you didn't save and exit afterwards, that'll definitely be a cause... You'll have to elaborate for me on the referencing...? I know that 'batch' import is on the dev's todo list!

I'm hoping V11 solves all possible issues that could ever happen ever!! We'll see... Please keep me posted :eek:

I KNEW IT! FAN BOY! :eek:

%NTITLE is running the show there and it's not very intelligent... If another notification of any kind (anything that reports in the status bar) then Tasker forgets all about the previous notification... my hands are tied..

Hmmm - according to the system and DSD your device didn't sleep for the 29 minutes of DSP available...? The 'sleep time' quoted is a direct system output... Are you sure ad hoc reported differently?? Hold on... How can your idle time be more than your uptime...? Did you copy this straight from the file, or could a typo have happened??

Glad you like the sounds effects! Thank you for all of your testing that have made DSD what it is today... :)
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
I was running Media. Probably explains that.

Ignore this, I wasn't being terribly precise with my lexicon. Naughty nobnut!

Adhoc reported correctly in my first test without Media playing (no reports were written though as sleep was >80% of DSP). I can't now bloomin' remember if I ran Adhoc after the media test. I will rerun and report back later.

Exactly! Yes I copied and pasted. I was wondering the same.

I was hoping for a fart sound but I was disappointed :(

EDIT: Run out of damned thanks clicks.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Danker

How very peculiar... :confused: indeed.. *chuffs on pipe and paces the room*

I thought I'd included one as they happened so much during testing... How very peculiar... Just for you, I will upload V11F later ;)

WHO ELSE APART FROM ME DESERVES THANKING!?!? NO ONE IN THE WORLD IS THE RIGHT ANSWER!!!
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
Bitte Schön

Smoking that crack pipe will mess with your mojo!

Lovely. Thanks for that. I just had a mental image of you raising a cheek between reboots. LOL

Now you're talking! Paaaaaaaaarp.

You sound like my ex wife. She's a ****. Don't turn in to her FFS or I'll have to divorce you and publish your pictures all over the internets.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
That was actually a direct quote from my ex wife! In the split, I got the laptop and electronic equipment! WHOOP! She got the house and my soul.

Fair deal I though... I'm not gunna need it...

This one is for you - I have hours of fun with it, mostly on my own.
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
Way ahead of you! LOL

EDIT: I still have my soul. I call it my ar$ehole.
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
I have rerun the media test and the Adhoc report tallies with the DeepSleepDetective.txt report just fine.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] bgx:
Yeah! Seemed I have found a workaround for the media problem. Not much time at the moment becauze @work. Let me test it... if its work I will show you my tests ;-)

Bitteschön ... :-P
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
Just walk out of work. Tell your boss nobnut said it was ok. They will understand ;)

[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:

[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Nope, it's Latin - its origin is believe to be derived from early religious scriptures denoting the 'position of the soul'.
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
Got a couple thanks pops back. Suits you Sir!

Position of the soul eh? That must be near the prostate, or is it the G-spot... I always mix those two up.
[Android Apps and Games] azj:
I, too, have this problem.

I:

deleted the tasks and profiles through Tasker

did a save/exit

deleted the task and profile files and the DSD folder

rebooted the phone

copied the new files and DSD folder to the phone

started to the import process. DSDAdhoc imported fine. DSDAdhocTIS gets an Error: Task name already exists.

stopped at this point

This on my stock but rooted Motorola Droid 1.
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
I did this, the only other step I took which you haven't mentioned was to go into Superuser and 'forget' the permission granted for DSDSuperUser.

Other than that I did the same as you.

Well, that is nearly true. I didn't delete the tasks and profiles one by one. I never actually save them into my Tasker backup. I just 'restore' my original tasks and profiles which has the effect of wiping the newer ones I haven't backed up... e.g. the DSD tasks and profiles.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
I'm not sure why you should get this error, but it had made me realise an error in the installation instructions - It's supposed to be DSDAdhTIS not DSDAdhocTIS - I can't see why it would, but does it make a difference if you install the correct task......?

Sorry about the error! :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] azj:
Doesn't help, I get the same error.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Doh! I can only suggest you export all of the tasks and profiles that you need from your own set-up and then backup a copy of the sdcard/Tasker folder on your pc.

Go into manage applications and 'clear data' for Tasker - hopefully that will clear whatever associations are lingering in the background for whatever reason.... :confused:

Battery history not resetting

Hi, does someone have any idea why my battery history is not resetting even if i plug in the charger or restart the fone? I think DSD will not work if "phone is on for more than 24 hours" thats why its not generating reports also for me. Have tried everything, wipe batterystats and even dalvik cache and its still not reset.

Appreciate anyone's help.

and what does this mean, I get something like this in the notification:

"80% DSP detected

11 minutes of DSP / UT @ 48%" - whats UT btw?

Sorry im noobie on this, hope you can explain in layman's term :D

Thanks for the help!
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
By battery history not resetting, do you mean the Android battery statistics, or do you mean the data written by DSD?

DSD now rebots the phone at 5.00am to get around the problem of Android not providing this information after 24 hours.

What the latter means is:

80% of DSP means your phone had the potential (Deep Sleep Potential) to sellp for 80% of that (screen off) period.

You had 11minutes of Deep Sleep Potential which was 48% of your phone's Uptime (UT).
[Android Apps and Games] reycharlesconrad:
So was that a good number or what? Thanks for explaining :)

Btw, Battery Android statistics is not resetting thats why im not getting any information from DSD as Android statistics displays that i am on battery for 1d 17h already EVEV IF IM RESTARTING or PLUGGING THE CHARGER already.

What could be the problem?
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
Hi,

DSP as a % of uptime is neither good nor bad. If you use your phone constantly for an hour let's say, you will have 100% uptime and no deep sleep potential because you were using it constantly.

If however you left your phone with the screen off and doing nothing for an hour then you want the sleep within DSP to be as high as possible (as close to 100% as possible).

That is a weird one about your Android Battery stats. To be honest, I am not sure exactly why yours appears to be not resetting after reboots etc but it is possibly down to your battery needing to be recalibrated. It is worth a shot at least. Try it and see if the problem resolves itself.

In case you don't know how, there are some apps on the Market to do it for you, or you can use CWM to do it. Here is the easiest and in my opinion the best way...

1/ Fully charge your phone (I mean fully, leave it for 20 minutes after it hits 100%)

2/ Open a file explorer with root permissions and navigate to /data/system/batterystats.bin and delete the file batterystats.bin (it will be rewritten shortly

3/ Unlug your charger

That is it! The following steps are not necessary but suggested by some...

4/ Allow your hone to fully discharge (down to 1 % if possible) and do not turn the phone off. You can continue to use it normally

5/ Then leave the phone switched on and allow it to charge fully

You are now fully recalibrated ;)
[Android Apps and Games] reycharlesconrad:
Thanks a lot nobnut for the info!

Have done what you advised and it works. Now my battery stats are reset again :)

Thanks again dude.
[Android Apps and Games] bgx:
One question! When I get a call I got after I quit the call Display off evidence stolen! Have I made something wrong?

With the media thing I will told later! Real life little bit stormy at moment! ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
Brandall will have to help you with query, seems like an incoming call possibly messes with DSD data.

I don't have this problem as no one calls me. I manage this by not giving my number to anyone and just to be safe, I bock all incoming calls.

Damned people and their interfering ways! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Hi bgx, the 'evidence stolen' alert is actually a good thing, as it's showing that during a call the display off function registered that DSP was unavailable... The problem arises when the display comes on after a call, sees that %NOCOUNT is no longer set (because DSDEndCall cleared it) and therefore is expecting to see display off data. I therefore should have added a %FLAGPASS switch as I did in DSDChargeEnd - although there is a reason I didn't do this and right now I cannot remember what that was!

I'll ponder, but in the mean time, this is not corrupting the data which is the most importing thing!

LOL! Thanks for filling in nobnut :) I hope you bar all text messages too... In fact, I suggest aeroplane mode for you, until such time that you need to switch it on to either call your dealer or the doctor... Works for me.

I have a DorDCallOut Tasker profile that is trigger by the phone's g-sensor recognising I'm starting to twitch. I'll upload later....
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
Good point about the text messages. I think I'd better play safe and dispose of my SIM card altogether. I've decided I'm going to put it up my nextdoor neighbour's cat's bottom. It should be safe enough up there.

Right, I'm off to find a long stick.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
LOL! haha! I really hope you find a stick - I worry of what 'plan b' may entail if no sticks are to be found.... :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
Marigolds ;)
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
Sorry for the OT, but can you help me with something (Tasker wise) please? It's just a quick yes/no answer I think.

I don't think this is possible but I am trying to create a simple statusbar notification which only displays when I have WiFi turned on but I am not connected. When WiFi is off, or on and connected it will not display.

I can toggle it, reconnect etc but I haven't found the possibility to detect that WiFi is switched on but not connected.

The question is "shall I give up as this isn't possible, or should I get a bigger stick and beat myself for being retarded"?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Ha! This is a tricky one... Do you use my data sync profiles? If so, there is an option to add a 'was connected, but now disconnected' notification - wifi will then turn off after 1 minute if not reconnected.

If you have your preferred networks in variables such as %WIFIHOME or %WIFIREHAB then you can run a loop to check IF they are matching/matching/matching and alert if not... Then put a loop timer to kill wifi if over 3 mins etc...

Let me know if you want me to write the stages out - the least I can do for you after all of your help...

Tasker Data Clearing Issue

For those getting errors saying tasks/profiles already exist - this has been put down to a beta/Tasker issue and is detailed here

I'm sure it will be corrected on the next beta release. Just thought I'd let you know!
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
Thank you for the information and your kind offer. I was actually looking for something really basic. I didn't want to restrict it to a single or even a series of SSIDs.

I have an app from the Market which does exactly this. It annoys me that 7 other apps I used to have, I have managed (even with my level of retardation) to replace and remove thanks to Tasker. This is the last one.

I intend to roam the earth and didn't want to have to manually include SSIDs as I drift from one town to another. I'll just have to live with the app... and herpes.

But thank you anyway!!
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Chuckle... Well, when I've updated it to a suggestion from strictlyrude, it's be a one line addition...

[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
Are you sure it's no hassle? Do I just need to install your data sync profiles? What is the capital of Peru? Questions, questions, questions...

You are a Gentleman. I might add a little notification onto it to let me know in the case of my router dropping it's guts and disconnecting me so that I can beat the router with a sh!tty stick and reconnect.

That'd be tip top.

Cheers me old chum!

[Android Apps and Games] strictlyrude27:
PS: I always wondered this. I have a family friend who moved to the States from Scotland. All the chicks love him because he's British. That accent is sexy.

So do British chicks go "bonkers" for American accents? Or do we just sound like uneducated dolts? note that the question is not "are we just uneducated dolts", because the answer is obviously yes.

Finally, brandall and nobnut, I hope you have plans to take this comedy act on the road. You'd make way more than selling an app for android :)

PPS: the capital of Peru is Lima.
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
I have had lots of experience with British Chicks... none of it good. If I ever have the chance to speak to one without her slapping me, I'll let you know.

I lived in Scotland for eight years and never understood a damned thing anyone ever said. I lived in Northern Ireland also for 6 years... same thing there.

British women spend too much time talking to be able to listen to your accent... yip yip yip. My advice is to avoid them.

Many thanks for your Tasker knowledge also!

[Android Apps and Games] strictlyrude27:
nobnut, for what it's worth, I ran some experiments (see the Data Control Tasker thread) and found that my phone gets better battery life if I use push sync rather than toggle it on every 15 minutes. I may retry the experiment sometime; just an FYI. YMMV.
[Android Apps and Games] nobnut:
Cheers guys.

I'm not looking for anything fancy. I feel bad even asking you for advice. All I was trying to achieve (apart from an erection) was a notification that Wifi is turned on and not connected. I didn't really want to mess with data sync times.

I'm happy enough to add SSIDs but don't want to throttle data.

I was having this issue too. Turns out that in the task file DSDAdhocTIS.tsk.xml it had DSDAdhoc as the name so it was

<nme>DSDAdhoc</nme>

rather than

<nme>DSDAdTIS</nme>

which made Tasker throw the error.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks 1337GamingNinja, you've made me realise that I not only put the incorrect name in the installation instructions, I also put the wrong file into the download... :mad: Your thanks meter has increased - I will upload V12 shortly with this included.

In the task DSDAdhoc, if it references to perform the task DSDAhTIS in actions #20 & #26 then importing the attached should be sufficient - if for any reason that perform task action is referencing anything else, then you'll need to wipe and install again I'm afraid...

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks again 1337GamingNinja and sorry to those others I doubted... :o
