wonderful Aribiter , i tried that and worked beautifully. Thank you very much for saving me lot of frustration/time. much appreciated.

one other question i had, those shell commands from earlier post where do i find the list ? i need similar keyevents for dolphin browser . i frequently share links from the browser and dolphin buries "share" under 3 touches deep. i thought i could add a tasker event (shake for e.g.) trigger the share option.

Thanks for the advise
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ArbiterGR:
Try this. Alternatively use tasker's own input -> dpad which is faster and easier in the long run :)

Hi, same days ago I got app for due same thinking : connect audio hardware with bluetooth stereo, I mean when I get in car and turn on my Fm transmitter and connect with bluetooth device, it ill receive all sounds (gps voice, music, call and everything) have any one here got idea how can I use the tasker for automatically connect all stero voice with bluetooth?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] juliomatos:
sorry wake up this topic but make sense not necessary open another for talking about this treat. And I don't see the data.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] DanceOff:
What?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] juliomatos:
Man I want to now how can I use Tasker for transffer my audio for others bluethoot, Like when I get in the car, it transfer voice GPS for my bluetooth gadget. I try use a BTmono app but this dont work in 4.2.2 I think.:good:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] DanceOff:
I'm not sure about it, I havent used android 4.2.2 yet :(
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] juliomatos:
Hm to bad :crying:. I try so many app for transfer audio for mono bluetooth using a 4.2.2 but without luck.

If u have any Idea please share with me. thx
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] DanceOff:
There was an app similar to tasker featured on xda tv, I don't remember but you can search for it :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] juliomatos:
I'm thinking A2DP in Cyanogenmod 10.1 for a galaxy I9100 have problems, I read in forum searching any solutions and see others guys talking about that. But I'll searching for app in xdatv ty any way.:good:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] navymoss35:
In my opinion using a profile like that is not that useful. Your GPS has to be on to know your location. It kills your battery. I recommend using nfc tags for this. Use nfc launcher and tasker. Put the sticker on your door. Tap it to connect to WiFi.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] DroidGnome:
Wow... I'd love you to export the scripts for that and upload em so I could take a look. I never thought of an app to check when password entry failed :)

I did make one a few years ago when I got my Evo which would allow me to send my phone a text message with a keyword, tasker would intercept the text, lock the phone immediately with a password, phone would then turn on GPS if needed, get a location lock, send back an SMS with a google maps link :) This was all before companies like Lockout existed which sort of make the task items obsolete these days.

The only thing I really use tasker for now is to make a widget to enable/disable the phone lock with password with one click. Usually I keep my phone unlocked, but occassionally i need to lock it if i'm going to leave it on a counter near other people or something..never know who will pick it up :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] navymoss35:
Here you go.. just unzip and they are all in there.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] cgcrute:
As I said before when leaving GPS on the system only polls occasionally. Tasker does not use GPS like, say, Google Maps where it constantly polls. There is no massive battery drain for using location, I had gps on 24/7 for over 2 years now and get decent battery life. The bigger killer would be forgetting to switch WiFi off when I left home!

NFC is virtually useless for this as, unless you are rooted, the phone needs to be screen on and unlocked for it to work. Also surely there is battery drain for using nfc, which is constantly polling, unlike god when not being used by maps? Not the tap and go we all hoped for!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] cgcrute:
GPS not god! ;-)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] StuBouyer:
I use the cell near context when creating a profile for turning on Wi-Fi when i9300 get near home. Cell near uses no extra battery (unless you normally have it in airplane mode). When the cell near is triggered a new profile which has a Wi-Fi near context makes sure that the Wi-Fi is turned on.

When the Wi-Fi connects I turn off the other profile until the Wi-Fi disconnects.

All of this is based on the example profile from http://tasker.wikidot.com/yanawa
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
That is immense. A walk-through would definitely be appreciated.

Which do you people think is the lesser of the battery drainers? Either Cell near or location options?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SunjinSak:
Definitely Cell Near. It uses much less power but is also much less accurate. WiFi Near is more accurate but uses more power and, obviously, GPS is the most accurate but much more power intensive.

As stated earlier in the thread a lot of people find using a combination of Cell Near then WiFi Near to be acceptable in achieving accuracy of location whilst minimising battery drain.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
A combo hey? Ummmm how?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SunjinSak:
This is a good place to start. You might want to check out the link StuBouyer posted further up too. Think I'll be taking a few pointers from that one myself.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] DroidGnome:
For those looking to simply modify settings , things like turning on wifi, bluetooth, adjust brightness etc based on your location (Cell, GPS or Wifi) there is a much easier solution than Tasker.

I used to use tasker for this but found maintaining and setting it up was a pain. There's an app in the market called Setting Profiles which was designed for just this feature... lets you adjust just about any setting by creating a profile... then that profile can be enabled or disabled via a Widget or via it's own GPS/Cell/wifi detection.

While it's not as robust as Tasker, I found it was much easier to setup and to easily switch between profiles, where with Tasker I had to have multiple widgets or go directly into the app (which i have password locked).

Figured I'd mention it since i see that's the basic use a lot of you use it for.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] goughymachine:
I am an absolute doofus with programming etc, I have no ability at all and tasker is so far above me that I can't even comprehend what I could really do with it. Yet even I can use it for a few simple things that make a world of difference. My main ones are 4 profiles based on time of day for my sounds etc, so I don't get woken at night, during the working day it's loud, at home it's softer. Also one for when I'm connected to a bluetooth headset. Plus another for keeping the screen on longer when the keyboard is out.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Mr.Mefisto:
Thanks a lot OP for this thread because from this place i found about Tasker app and it is just great! Again Thanks! Thumb up!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] winbytrick:
im not a pro at tasker as well, yet i can show you feel tips to create profiles suit your needs.

we will take about your first 3 profile (night, work, home)

Go to profile click + to create a new one and name it yourself, tab time allows you to choose specific daytime for profile activated

ex: you can choose night profile from 23:00 to 6:00

Click ok

Then choose a new task, name it and ok, click on + to create task. In here you can do a lot a thing, AUDIO tab allows you to configure your audio, same for SCREEN, NET allows you turn on/off wifi, mobile data... you can create watever you like in here. Once done and click ok. It will be auto triggered once the specific time and date in profile met.

About profile for bluetooth headset, it's nearly the same for creating tasks; yet the trick is how to create profile for bluetooth headset connected.

Create a new profile --> state --> net --> bluetooth connected --> type your bluetooth headset's name (mine is Jabra stone 2) then ok

create tasks will be the same as above.

Hope this helps
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] navymoss35:
I posted the XML's to download. Import them to tasker. I'll shoot a video of it and post a link here.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] artesea:
I've been using Tasker since my Nexus One

Current tasks

Battery below 20%, drop screen on time, brightness and turn of Sync

NFC Trigger (using NFC Re-tag and my work door pass), if sound on, turn it and wifi off, else turn them back on.

Irish Lottery texts, my dad used to pester me to check the numbers and text him, so I created a webpage which scrapes the numbers and formats then, then each wed/sat evening tasker checks each half hour to see if they are send a text to my dad and to stop checking.

I used to have on to turn off sync late at night whilst on charge so that gmail wouldn't wake me, but now I just have gmail with silent notifications.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] StuBouyer:
Cell near uses much less than any of the other location based ones from my experience. I use cell near to start up the other ones like Wi-Fi near or gps.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
I tried following that guide and it wasn't easy. More so it didn't actually work.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] IncredibleMidgett:
I have a task that sets my ringer volume to max if my wife calls, she is pregnant and I want to make she I will get her call if I put my phone on vibrate. The problem is when I put my phone to vibrate, the task works, but when the call concludes my phone gets set to silent Mode rather than whatever it was set too. Is there a way around this? I want my phone to return to what ever state it was in prior.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] teh-maz0r:
Long term fan of tasker, mainly used it with GPRS and SSID to activate toggles to control volume, connectivity, and even wake my PC via the WOL on my router, just for a few things.

NFC + Tasker, is just an amazing combination and I don't have to rely on the patchy GPRS triangulation putting my phone into work mode when I'm at the resturant or cinema a mile away (cant use SSID for tasker at work as no WI-FI).

just bang a sticker on the desk dock, car dock, house door etc

Guys I am having some real trouble getting Tasker to actually activate WiFi and then deactivate again with 'Cell Near' and with the user profiles on the wiki website. It appears very moody when deciding whether to work or not. Any advice?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] wwevo:
As far as I know you can use cell towers to identify your position, cell net scanning is on anyway.

Near my cell tower? Turn on Wifi.

Anyone found an action that essentially factory resets the device?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] marcelloh:
Tasker profiles I have

Since I totally forget birthdays, I have one that scans my calendar for the word "birthday" or in my case the dutch word "jarig". It does it only at 11:30, so it will beep if it's the case.

So I have time to phone or email the person that's having cake :-)

The other one:

when i'm in my car, usb-power the phone, it will turn gps on, and after 20 secs, bluetooth as well.

When i'm out of my car again (no usb-power), it will turn those things off again.

At 8:30 in the morning, it will reset my phone, so it has the speed you always have at the beginning of a fresh start.

at 8:35 it turns the sound on (which will be turned off in the evening at 11:30)

In the morning i connect wifi once every half hour to sync whatever will be synced. I'm only online for 2 minutes.

During the afternoon and evening, this is each quarter of an hour.

That gives me more battery-power. (It lasts for 3 days minimum) :-)

And I got the ideas from reading the manual, which is pretty good
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Capt.Insano:
Could you run through this profile?! I cannot see the Bluetooth connected variable!!

Thanks a million!

The Capt.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Create profile:

name= bluetoothconnected

context = state/net/bluetooth connected

action= variable set

name variable = bluetooth

set to=1

Outgoing call :

Context = phone offhook

task = Bluetooth on

wait 45seconds

bluetooth off if %bluetooth doesnt match 1

incoming call

context = incoming call

task = Bluetooth on

wait 45seconds

bluetooth off if %bluetooth doesnt match 1

Another profile is also needed to turn off bluetooth after a call that was made using bluetooth

Context = phone idle

task = wait 45bseconds (incase you make another call or get cut off and get called again)

bluetooth off

Variable set bluetooth to 0

Hope that makes sense
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Capt.Insano:
It does thank you!!

The Capt.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Glad i could help.

It can be probably be done more efficently using a "wait until" task or possibly other methods but i haven't tried and am quite happy with the way it is working at the moment.

Awesome app, very functional and extremely powerful
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] julien.me:
+1 - I like your idea, very thoughtful !
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] yorkieip:
Hi, hoping someone can help me.

I created a profile that enables the flashlight app when the ambient light level drops below a certain threshold. What I can't figure out is how to automate the disabling of the flashlight app when the ambient light levels return to normal. I would also love to know how to prevent it from running when I put the phone face down or in my pocket for example. Suffice it to say, I pretty much a noob when it comes to Tasker but would love to get this particular profile functioning. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Although this is possible it will be very innefficent as your proximity sensor will be constantly active.

set up a new profile.

Context = state/sensor/orientation/face down

task =variable set %rotation to 1

exit task = variable set %rotation to 0

second profile

name = auto light(or whatever you like)

context 1 = state/sensor/lightlevel (set to your liking)

context 2 = state/sensor/proximity sensor (invert) (this is to prevent the light going on in pocket)

Task

entry task 1 = load flashlight app if %rotation variable setto 1(invert)

entry task 2 = app/go home (to get you back to home screen)**Optional**

Exit task = app/kill app/flashlight app
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SupTech86:
Wow :D

Great app.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] danarama:
I like the sound of this. Does it turn just pattern off or lock screen all together? I can turn off "keygaurd" but that also turns off the lockscreen. "Keyguard Pattern" is unavailable on my device it says.

Could you confirm please?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
It turns of the pattern lock so you have a Swype to unlock screen whilst connected to your home Wi-Fi. You need a plug in from the market called secure settings. Here is the link.

Take a look at "Secure Settings" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] danarama:
Ahhhh thanks!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SunjinSak:
I have Secure Settings plugin installed and I can't find the option to disable pattern lock anywhere. As has been said above I can disable keyguard but this just disables the lockscreen wholesale.

How do I go about disabling just the pattern lock from Secure Settings? Is it a rooted feature as I'm currently unrooted (for now)?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] graffixnyc:
There is a way to do the wifi thing so it eats up less battery. Instead of wifi checking every 15minutes what you can do is set it up so it will only turn on wifi and scan (and connect if my ssid is available, if not waits then disconnects wifi) when you are connected to certain cell towers. In my case the few towers I connect to when I'm home. That way wifi will only turn on and scan when I'm connected to that tower instead of all the time constantly every 15 minutes. You could also do it with GPS but that also eats more battery than the method I use because it requires getting your gps location. The profile fires as soon as I'm connected to one of the cell towers by my house
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Here is a summary of the profile.

Context = location ( my home) set using just cell towers, and quite accurate if on 3g but not so much when switched to 2g.

action =

1. wifi on

2. plugin/secure settings/edit/patternlock (under helper actions) /off

(there is an option which requires the pattern to be entered once before the pattern is switched off which i have selected.) / save (bottom left of screen)

3. Wait 45 seconds

4. Wifi off if not connected

exit tasks

1. wifi off

2.secure settings enable pattern lock

**Edit**

I have just realised that you do neet root for that option.

Sorry, i only just found out after going to this thread from the developer of the secure settings app

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16640145
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] danarama:
Yep, needs settings helper.

I did it slightly differently. I created a profile called WiFi Trust, SSID - My SSID, task:Plugin > Secure Settings > Pattern off. Similarly I have WiFi Un-Trust, SSID - My SSID, Inverted > task Plugin > Secure Settings > Pattern off

I stole the front camera email thing too. Just a quick question, do your photos come out sideways? haha Mine do.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
LOL

I thought it was just me , yes they do come out sideways in gmail but in the phone they are ok.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] danarama:
Actually for me, in Gallery and QuickPic they are ok but in gmail and EStrongs file manager, they are sideways :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
On occasions my Tasker fails to switch WiFi off when leaving my Cell Area. Does anyone else have this issue or any ideas on how to fix it?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Are you sure other profiles are not putting wifi on?

Did you manually put wifi on? If so it may not switch it off automatically.

Decrease the radius of the location if you are regularly travelling short distances
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
I only have a Wifi On/Off for two profiles (which are related and based on this here http://tasker.wikidot.com/yanawa ). Mostly it works ok but I noticed a larger than usual battery drain this morning (can get near on 2 days from one charge and average use) and I checked and WiFi was still on when I got too work.

I use Cell Near to save on battery so can't reduce/increase distance.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] danarama:
I use time triggers for wifi. Obviously not the same but never had issues.

I just set wifi off within office hours. To handle days off, I set an unless connected to wifi network x...

Yep this isessentially what I am doing too with the additional check of 'Wifi in range'. Unfortunately this morning it didn't shut the WiFi off. I have had the issue before but I worked I was simply not leaving the Cell scan long enough to get a more accurate reading. Since doing that I haven't had the problem until this morning.

Anyone know if I re-enable WiFi now will tasker eventually turn it off again until I get home???? Just want to see if it's a one off.

Okay so I need a little help please. I'm currently using auto sms response while driving, sleeping and at work. How do I modify the profile to not auto reply to certain contacts eg; fav contacts?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] chavist:
Hey everyone,

While I love tasker I am having an extremely difficult time getting a particular profile to work. I have a profile that is set to turn on my 3g by launching the phone info app and using the virtual keyboard to select the CDMA only option. The profile launches when the battery is below 85%. It works, but the issue is that the profile keeps randomly launching even when the phone is already on 3g or when it has already executed the task. I have attached a screenshot if anyone can help me identify what variable I am missing please that would help.

edit had to use Dropbox:

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] danarama:
Seems awfully convoluted. These options are already built into tasker. Why not just use that?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] chavist:
With the eclipse ROM it is not as easy as just using the tasker built in functions
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Have you got this sorted?

In the task profile tick the"if" box and click the icon to bring up a list of variables. Choose %cname and then in the other box or put the names of all the people you don't want to reply to. Then tick the invert box
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] yorkieip:
Nope, still need help

:( Can't quite get my head around what you mean. I took the standard auto sms respond profile from tasker.wikidot.com/profiles the tasker.wikidot page and adapted it to run during work hours. I couldn't find the option to invert. does it have anything to do with the fact that the profile already has "if" references in it?

Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Information on this is in the wiki.

Manage a list of exceptions: %EXCEPTIONS = 111/222/333/444/555

Reply to SMS *IF %CNUM DOESN'T MATCH %EXCEPTIONS

Where are the ifs that you are referring to.

You can also use

task/stop if

just before the task that sends sms and set the if with the variable %CNUM MATCHES (LIST OF NUMBERS THAT YOU DONT WANT TO SEND TEXTS TO

In the example above with %exceptions, it is assumed that you already have a variable called %exceptions setup with all the names you dont want to send texts to.

I hope this helps, if not then i will set a profile up and post screenshots of my auto sms response here and you can just copy it and add the numbers you wish
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] yorkieip:
Hi, thanks again for trying to help. I tried everything you suggested but still no joy.

If you could post the screen shots then perhaps I might be able to figure it out.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
OK new one for you boffs at XDA.

Have the WIFi On/Off thing working pretty well BUT on occasions where I have a profile (any profile not just WiFi) that doesn't quite work as well or as efficient as usual that is using the Cell Near state I sometimes re-scan. Whenever I do the initial scan I always leave it for 5 mins or so. Yet on doing the rescan it instantly picks up another cell tower. I am in the same location, scanning for the same amount of time yet there are additional cell towers.

My question is...Do they change frequently? Or is there a scanning issue?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] danarama:
I don't really know the answer to your question, but "Cell signal" fluctuates.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
Thanks for your response.

It's not that the cell signal is fluctuating (I see that from the scan results anyway) but more they are completely changing. The old 'values' are there still but also so are completely new ones.
