Why don't you just append your desired screen timeout setting to each of those profiles? You can find it under 'Display' in the Action Category.

The issue you are having sounds like an problem with Secure Settings. By the way, you don't need Secure Settings for those profiles and actions. Tasker can do all of that without it.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] BaconS:
I should have mentioned I have put 15 sec screen time out in each of the profiles. For some reason it does not perform them.

I thought I needed secure settings to activate pin lock and deactivate it. I also use it to turn my GPS on and off for Navigation and maps.

Any ideas?

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] epicurean:
I would like to create a profile in tasker to sync all the contents on my internal sdcard, on a daily basis, with my synology NAS (its a DS 411+) . I have rsync and also foldersync, and don't mind using either one. I have this morbid fear that I will wipe my sdcard accidentally with the upcoming transition to JB soon and want an updated copy should I need it.

From what I gather, I will need to create encryption keys if I want to use rsync, but not necessary with foldersync. Can anyone help me with such a profile?

thanks very much

Hi All,

Anybody else facing same?

I cannot get lock off when on home Wifi to work..

Running cm10 on i9300, pattern lock as security.

Home helper is installed and working, my tasker setup: Wifi connected: lock off, exit task lock on.

No effect whatsoever.. I've also tried with security code instead of pattern, still no luck.

Can anybody help with this?

Edit: so I tried setting up everything on my 5g network, and with the same tasker settings as above, I got it working (sid and network name changed off course).

I still cannot get it to work on my regular network though.. Any tips/settings I'm not aware of.

Regards - e
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] julien.me:
Have you got the Secure Settings application installed? Tasker will then have a task with a 3rd party app (Secure Settings)

I use that and turn off pattern lock as soon as I am connected to my home wifi network.

I'm trying to create a task that scans for wifi every 15 minutes. If it finds/connects to one then it stays on. If it is disconnected for 45 seconds then it shuts off. I can't get it to work.

Here's what I've got:

Context: Time -> Every 15m

Task: WiFi ON -> Wait 45s -> WiFi OFF if %WIFII !~ *connect*

This is causing WiFi to turn off even when I'm connected. I've tried "%WIFII ~ !*connect*" and this has the same result.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] marcelloh:
done this, and it's quite simple.

example

popup (show a start text)

load App (example:AdFree)

wait 10 secs

Dpad right 2 times

Dpad Press 1 times

etc.etc

but if an app changes, it could fail on you ;)

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

This is mine :

wifi set on

wait 30 secs

mobile data on

if %WIFI !~ *CONNECTION* (which doesn't do anything if it has found wifi)

wait 1 minute

mobile data of

wifi off

So each 15 mins I run this and it gets me my phone synced.

Any way to set alarms better? Like make something where it asks you what time to set it for, you enter the time and it then would set like 5 alarms, all certain times apart since I always put mine to sleep. Best I've done is using Gentle Alarms, setting them up for certain times and then you can enable all of them with Tasker but I need to change all the Gentle Alarm times manually.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] marcelloh:
better find an app that makes you solve a puzzle or something.. Those will wake you up 4 sure :)

No need for tasker. But... if you want, tasker can handle an alarm, so 5 alarms should be a piece of cake... BTW: ever thought of putting your phone on the other side of the room, so you actually have to get up ;)

Help please?

Hey Guys,

Need some help please.

I have made a task, so when I am playing a game, the screen won't timeout for 1 hour, and when I exit the game (exit task), the screen timeout will go back to 2 mins. But when I am playing a game, the screen timeout is still at 2 mins. I have selected the certain apps for the context.

As far as I can remember, this was working correctly before the update.

I've even deleted the profile and redone it

What can I do?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] marcelloh:
this is wierd to have this programmed in tasker, since... as long as you interact with your mobile, it's should timeout your screen. But the newest tasker update sucks a bit. I have problems too. Sound are not played full sometimes, and popup messages don't show anything exept the popup itself.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] dantheman122:
Hahahaha I definitely have, I get up then go back to sleep :p Found if I keep waking myself up I get up. I'll try one of the barcode ones I think.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jnr21:
Try this:

Context: Time -> Every 15m

Task: WiFi ON if %WIFI ~ off -> Wait 45s if %WIFII !~ *type_your_ssid* -> WiFi OFF if %WIFII !~ *type_your_ssid*

So write wifis ssid to %WIFII variable and remember to add * to begin and end of ssid.

Edit: or you can use *CONNECTION* if you want to use that with any trusted wifi network.

I have tested a few profiles for using the camera from the lock screen with no success. I have a rooted GS3 with stock JB and Widget Locker.

1) I would like to be able to slide to the camera icon on the lock screen and bypass all the password stuff

2) take pictures and be able to see the recent pictures taken (if recent pics is too difficult to set, i'd be happy with access to the gallery then).

3) close camera app and the phone locks itself again.

This is a standard feature in Windows 7/8 and now Crapple after they copied it.

Thanks in advanced for the help.

Is there any way to have Tasker control the volume key long presses when playing a music app.

When playing Pandora:

1) long press volume up "next song"

2) long press volume down "previous song"

3) long press home "pause play"

I would like to do this when the phone is locked as I can't be unlocking advert time I want to skip a song while working out.

I'm on a rooted stock JB.

Can some one help me with a task? I'm willing to make a task (dont know if it is possible with Tasker) to open my browser, load a website and do some commands on the website

Open this website (192.168.1.130):

Touch on "main zone", after this is touched the next page will be opened:

Then I want it to touch on "ON".

After that the browser would be closed and Retune would be opened on the following page:

I want it to touch on "Pen Drive". The following page will show up:

On this page it can touch anywhere.

Is this possible to do? I've been searching on Tasker for this but can't find a way to program it... Can somebody please help me to program this?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] 08G8V8:
Ok, just made it through reading through this thread, and going to move onto some other Tasker threads, but have a question dealing with lockscreen.

I have a Verizon GS3, running CleanRom 5.0. I have Tasker and Secure Settings with Helper. Originally I had my security setup with a 4-digit PIN along with the swipe screen.

I have Tasker setup to turn on Wifi based on cell towers when I get home. I setup a profile to turn off bluetooth and disable my lockscreen(using keygaurd in secure settings), then turn both back on when I disconnect from Wifi. I also setup a CarMode profile to launch CarHomeUltra and disable my lockscreen(using keygaurd in secure settings). The carmode would work sometimes and not others, either not launching the program or lockscreen not disabled. The lockscreen at home would disable most of the time, but not always.

I have since changed from a PIN passcode to a pattern, but without the swipe screen now. I changed from using Keyguard within Secure Settings, to now using Pattern Lock within Secure Settings.

The issue I am having that I can't figure out is when at home, connected to Wifi, my bluetooth gets turned off and my pattern lock gets disabled, BUT, it now has a swipe screen enabled after the screen is shutoff, so I now have to swipe the screen to unlock it. However, when in my car, once connected to Bluetooth, CarHomeUltra launches and my pattern lock is disabled, BUT I do not have to swipe the screen after the screen times out.

Why would I need to swipe to unlock at home, but not in the car, when I am using the same Pattern Lock from Secure Settings? I don't understand! This is a simple setup and should be very easy to have working the same in both profiles, but it doesn't, and I can't figure out why.

Thanks

Can Tasker be used so that every time my Bluetooth is turned on, the phone will automatically put incoming or outgoing calls into Bluetooth mode to my car stereo/external microphone?

Right now when I take a call, I have to manually press the "headset" button on the stock dialer. But I like using Rocketdial dialer which doesn't have the "headset" button.

Hi guys,

I am trying to set my Galaxy S3 to lock itself when I put it in my pocket.

I managed to do it by setting:

Display -on

Orientation - upside down

Proximity -on

And it works. The only problem is that it also locks when I get a call, meaning that when I pick it out of my pocket when it rings, the display is off and I have to press the power button to see who is calling and answer.

Do you know how I can make an exception to the above setup, to ignore locking if the state is "ringing" or something? I checked the variables but couldn't find such. Not even sure if it should be done with a variable at all.

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] paranoid2007:
Try adding a context state/phone/call incoming and set it to "inverted". This should prevent the task from activating when a call is incoming.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] cartmanrlz:
Thanks,

I solved it by adding a state -> ringing -> set variable ringing to 1, then wait 1 minute -> set to 0

and added stop if ringing=1 in the rotation profile.

Turned out pretty cool - if you put your phone in your pocket upside down and the display is on it locks it, just in case you forget :)

Cell near only if display switched on?

Hi,

i use tasker to switch wifi on only at home/work with the "classical" profiles: "cell near" (cell network profile) >> "wifi near" (wifi near profile) >> "wifi connected" profile

... and i faced the problem that cell near profile fires only if i switch display on. Should i use "Cell workaround" under preferences / monitor?

Is there any alternative trick? ... because of the side effect of "Cell workaround" => GPS will be also switched on.

Keyguard actions don't work on every device.

Use the Secure Settings Plugin instead to unlock your system.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] xcly:
I believe Google doesn't allow apps to toggle that in the recent Android versions. You'd have to toggle it yourself, or find a root app with Tasker support that does it.

I'm rooted and my Tasker shows Keyguard option under display? I got Secure Settings as well but doesn't seem to require it. Dunno what phone Explorer is but I'm running 4.1.2

You can just change the sync settings to Push on your email app and you won't need to do anything? The notifications will fly in as the emails come. I got a long-winded *requires root* method not perfect method if you really need it.

Can anyone help me with making a tasker profile that does these tasks? I have an NFC tag in my car. I want my phone to know when I'm in my car to:

* turn off WiFi

* keep mobile data turned on

* turn sync off until I step out of my car [is there a way to toggle with the NFC tag?]

* turn bluetooth on to connect to my car's bluetooth but turn it off once i'm out of my car [again, is this possible using an NFC tag?]

* pause my music to read an incoming message, ask if I want to reply, when I say yes to use my voice to respond to the message and play the music once that whole process is finished.

* If that's not possible I also wouldn't mind my phone sending an automated message saying i'm currently driving with my location and maybe even speed with the message "I'll message you back as soon as I can" [maybe have the gps turn on to use for this message and then turn off once the message is sent]

If someone can help me figure this out, I would extremely appreciate it. I've been trying for days now after reading websites over and over and I still can't get anything to work.
