let me know how it goes...

and dont forget to disable the other wifi profiles to avoid conflicts

Dont worry if it dont work, just let us know what happens and we will take it from there
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
How did it go?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
Ok well it did exactly as it should have done and acts as I would hope. One notice so far was a couple of 'wifi not in range' though. Will report back in a bit.

Thanks for all your help so fat though really appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Is that after it is connected? I think I know what that is. I can sort that hopefully.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
Ummm sort of sporadically. Usually straight after I do something mind.

Have to say though this is working more efficiently than the old one I had set up. Just need to see if it exits it when I leave the cell area ;)

What do you think it might be then?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
I think it is stuck in a loop in the task.

nice app

thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
Ok the good news it turned the wifi of f as expected which is good as that was ultimately what I wanted. It also doesn't switch wifi on every time I unlock the phone which was what was annoying about the last time. Now for the wifi range issue and I am good...and also very grateful for your help
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Have you tried the settings in the video above yet?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] PAULRYAN52:
hi, i've rooted and tasker and pattern lock work perfectly
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] afca9rico:
I downloade it but don't know how it works i think i have to take a sit and figure it out:)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Excellent news. What next? It's all downhill from here
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] PAULRYAN52:
don't know any advice
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
don't give up on the app. I downloaded it 3 times and deleted it 3 times before I fell in love with it. ;)

Something for your wifi and Bluetooth? Automatically play music when docked in your car? Say caller /texter name? Automatically send text t to caller if phone is on silent? Flash led torch instead of ringer sound when faced down. List is endless. But these are some of the ones I use.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] PAULRYAN52:
ive got a couple, wifi @ home, pattern lock
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
Sorry chap, I was away yesterday. I'll incorporate them today and then report back when I get home. Like I said the profile is working well but for the 'Wifi not in range' issue as I also believe this is effecting a couple of other profiles too.

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------

jh787...The profiles in the video don't quite match up to the ones I have. There is a Wifi wait action for example in the video but not on the project I have. Also a 'not wifi connected' action on my profile but not on the one in the video. Did you create an update at all?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] afca9rico:
Thanks i will take a look

I have been messing with the profiles but if you havent started tinkering already then i would suggest you just add one more line to the profile.

Add

task/stop If wificonnected ~1

into line number 3 where the goto at the bottom of the profile points to.

This should stop the profile once it has connected to wifi
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
Into the 'connected' profile?

Do I not then need to do what you have done in the video?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Ignore the video. i will delete it soon. i forgot i made changes and it will confuse you even more.

It is the "cell a" task that needs editing.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
Ok....I actually think I have done it. Test now is to leave for home (just about too) and see if it works. Report coming up.

In the mean time I'd get another video ready..... I am a horrible programmer ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
Hope that is vid is coming bud....it didn't even turn on this time????? :(
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Villelj:
Oh man, I'm sure this app is awesome!

But I'm too stupid.

Have now 3 days trying to get easy(?) task to do reader help things for here but no lucky, this what I try:

Put WiFi on every 5 minutes for like 5sec, if find knowed WiFi it will connect and stay. If not switch off and keep mobile net on and after 5 min same thing start to find etc..

Idea is get WiFi on always in home and work...

And of course off when no wifi signal to save battery

Bored to put it on myself and location things is not 100% working so..

Anyone can help?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
That's what myself and Jh are working on currently...Well ok he's actually the one doing the work. I tried but my programming let me down as usual. However there are already alternatives out there...

Try

http://tasker.wikidot.com/yanawa
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Villelj:
I know this site, and tryed to do like there is write but uh, I think I'm too stupid.

Can't get it really work :/

Always wifi stay on or off always, or just don't even connect. I suck
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Greedyfly:
Nah you can get them working for sure.

The files are already made up for that profile so all you need to do is import them into Tasker (long click on the 'profiles' button and import the files that you download). Then on the 'Cell Network A' scan for near cell towers. And on the 'Wifi Near A' add your router details by pressing on the magnifying glass and selecting your router.

Repeat for another location (note you must be in that location for this to all work).
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Villelj:
Ooh, thank you. I didn't notice I can download it straight!

Now I think it's working home, let's soo tomorrow when I leave and go work..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
For anyone that had problems using original project file, i have updated the project.

Please download again and try.

Please delete any previous wifi profiles to avoid conflicts.

Dont forget to scan (or copy and paste) YOUR cell ids into the cell a context and put YOUR mac address (ssid exactly including case sensitive letters will also suffice) into the cell profile

Mac address requirement is line number 9.

Also clear the wifi connected variable or alternatively switch wifi on and connect manually first time as the task will not execute if the wifi connected is already set to 1.

Need some help

Hi guys,

I just bought my SGS3 yesterday as an upgrade to my SGS1 and ported my tasker profiles.

I used a (actually 2) profiles found on http://tasker.wikidot.com/sleepmode which worked fine on my SGS1.

It let's me sleep at night and when a *VIP* calls he will get true. However on mij SGS3 I can't get it to work at least not that the *VIP* call makes a sound on his first call. It will when he tries within 5 minutes, but not on the first call he makes.

I hope one of you guys could help me out.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
I can try

can you export the profile and post here or upload to to dropbox or similar and post the link
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] :
Hi thanks, actually the profile was provided through a link in my previous post, it can be found on http://tasker.wikidot.com/sleepmode.

(Only thing I adjusted was instead of " Event Phone Ringing * " I changed * for one caller )

Thanks for the quick reply!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Just had a quick look through the profiles and all looks good.

I have just been up all night trying to figure this thing out and it just isnt possible using the method in the wiki. They must have changed something in ics (as you had it working previously) because the phone doesnt allow you to increase the volume on the fly once it has been silenced by the original sleep profile.

I have created a slightly different project.

It is working but the bad news is i cant seem to get rid of a short beep when you get an incoming call.

If you are a light sleeper it may be an issue but otherwise it is running ok,

I have tried and tested.

I am attaching here as a txt file.

Download and rename to xml extension and open with tasker.

then import as a project.

see this post if you dont know how to import a project

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30214776&postcount=212

Once imported you will need to put in the number(s) that are vip seperated by a /

but you must also put a ! in front of all the telephone numbers which means "not".

eg !07999999/!01219991234

Let me know how you get on.

Going to bed now....
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] :
Thanks for the hard work, I will try this asap and report back.

Update: I tried to open with tasker it doesn't recognize the file, and I've changed the extension to xml.

Still tried to import as a project, but it still didn't recognize the file/
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Frippan:
Thanks for all the wonderful tips!

I have been looking for someway to control the phones VPN, I would like to connect to my VPN whenever I am outside my home.

Does anybody have any idea who to do this?

read at tasker homepage that VPN is an upcoming feature, but maybe there is a 3rd party app?

I think Tasker is my favorite app, I want to automate everything :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Prodigalza:
This has to be one of the most frustrating apps for Android. It seems to work and then not work. Maybe I'm just stupid, I don't know.

I've managed to get a profile to detect when I'm close to home and work and switch on wifi. When I'm away from these places, it switches off wifi. Seems to work most of the time.

Now I'm trying to setup that mobile data should be switched off completely while wifi is on and connected. When disconnected, mobile data should be switched back on. Do you think I can get this to work? Not a chance, I'm so tired of fighting with this app.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Mobile Data is automatically switched off when wifi is connected so why are you trying to beat a dead horse?

It may show as enabled but it isnt doing anything and isnt wasting battery.

It is just ready to be active when wifi disconnects
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Prodigalza:
Didn't know that, thanks!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Jayyy:
any one know how to disable notifications from gtalk with tasker?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
you can try using tasker to automatically open gtalk when %NTITLE matches *Gtalk* and then close it
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] juniorbattle:
Hi, anyone know how to change lock screen type with Tasker? Let's say, I'm back home from work and would like to change from PIN to simple slide? Is it possible at all?

I'm completely new to Tasker world so forgive me if I'm posting in a wrong thread.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
It is possible via the secure settings plugin and you will need to be rooted.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Prodigalza:
I'm looking for a bit of guidance please.

I've just bought Tasker yesterday and have managed to setup the following:

"Near Cell" Wifi on/off.

"Bluetooth Control" on/off when wifi disconnected with a timeout if no BT connection within 3 or 4 minutes.

"Airplane at Night" mode on AC plugged in between 10pm & 6am.

These are all working well with some variables linking profiles to one another so each behaves correctly under the different circumstances.

I am battling however with implementing the following:

I would like to have the phone throw out a menu at me when I plug the AC in during the Airplane at Night mode times. I want the menu to ask whether to go into Airplane mode or not (basically, Stop the rest of the task or continue with the rest of the task).

Sometimes I will need to plug and charge during those hours and NOT wish for airplane mode to be set, so I'd like the choice.

Some pointers or links to references I can look up would be great please.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
You can either create a scene or show menu pop up.

The latter being the easier option.

Go to alert/pop up task

One task would be airplane mode on and the other could be anything else you like or you could just leave it at the one and let it time out if you dont want airplane mode
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Prodigalza:
Thanks, will give it a bash ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] epicurean:
Hi JH,

"Bluetooth connected and you receive a call or text

Announcement " you have received a text from: ( Name of texter)

Would you like me to read it to you?

If you say yes please(or whatever you would like to set as reply) then text is read out

Otherwise no.

Similar procedure for call but the call is taken or rejected."

The above is exactly what I was looking for. Could you let me know how to do this specific profile?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
It is a long profile so would be hard for me to explain but here is the link

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ab2z5a5oe9cog6w/Read_Text_Aloud_driving.prf.xml

Just download and import as profile (use tasker to handle the file after download)

You will have to adjust the context as i have car dock profile which uses the magnetic sensor on s3 to detect a small magnet in my car holder.

Also you will have to change the tts voice as i have downloaded a voice and used that.

Let me know if you run into any probs
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] epicurean:
Thank you! I will try it as advised.

I also tried to follow the advice here about using secure settings plugin to disable keylock pattern but inspite of that, the keylock keeps appearing.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Have you also downloaded the helper for the secure setting plugin?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] epicurean:
Is the Ivona voice a paid app? the google TTS voice I use sounds really robotic!

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ----------

Yes I downloaded the helper and I also manged to "disable" the keylock in secure settings, but dunno why the keylock continues to pop up

How do i modify the profile you sent so that it only activates when my bluetooth earpiece is connected?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Add a context. Bluetooth connected. The voice is free and very clear and sounds nice
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] epicurean:
Could you teach me how to do that? Thanks so much

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
Long press any of the existing contexts and add another context.

State/net/Bluetooth connected/your connection name
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] abertoast:
I'm having a weird problem with this app and I was wondering if someone else has the same problem. None of the tasks work for me.The profiles do work but nothing happens when they do (pressing the task preview - triangle button- also dose nothing).
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] epicurean:
Great. Thank you. I also managed to resolve the keyguard problem by reinstalling Tasker and secure settings.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
where did you purchase your copy of tasker?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] epicurean:
JH,

The voice prompt and sms does not go through my connected bluetooth earpiece. How do I enable that?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] abertoast:
Yep, that was the problem, now everything works.

Now I'm trying to do something which doesn't quite works, maybe you guys have an idea how it can be done.

I'm trying to find a way to unlock my phone using an NFC chip (with mayhemer's nfc screen Locked/Off mod and "NFC task launcher" app).

I tried using the "keyguard off" task which unlocks the screen but turns the keyguard off (I want the pin code to be enabled again once the screen is unlocked but "keygaurd on" goes back to the pin code screen).

Second method I tried was using the input option in order to enter the pin number. The problem here was that I still have to press the OK button after the pin is entered.

It is possible to add an Enter key press in the input task but only if I add another character after, which dose unlocks the phone but then it goes straight to google search instead of the home screen.

If you guys have any ideas how to work around these problems I'd be love to hear them and if my grammar was awful tell me and I'll try to rephrase my self .
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
How about setting a separate task to enable keyguard when is turnedg off event
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] abertoast:
Tried and it didn't work but now I realized the problem wasn't tasker but the device administrator in my security settings

Thanks anyway

Edit: Apparently tasker's keyguard option dosn't work too well on the galaxy s2/3 so using Secure Setting plugin for tesker solves this problem (and other tasker issues like GPS) - in case it wasn't mentioned here before and someone else having problems like these...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ArbiterGR:
I've been experimenting for a while now, for a way to manipulate S3's power saving feature with tasker. The app maybe impressive and can let you do almost anything with the phone, but it wont support manufacturer's specific menus/settings.

The way i came around this problem might be clumsy and feels "cheap" but it actually does the trick and involves unlocking the screen and pushing some keyevents via shell, which requires root and the secure settings plugin.

I'm posting this here for anyone that might have some use for it. I personally use it to toggle power saving in conjunction with my "night mode profiles", or "biking profiles" where sports-tracker constantly runs and keeps the phone awake.

For the lazy ones, find the coressponding .xml file attached, for anyone else, here's the code i've used:

Task Name S3 Power Saving Toggle
----Secure Settings: Screen & Keyboard Lights on, 10 seconds
----Secure Settings: Keyguard Disabled/BG
----Load App: Power Saving (use show all in the menu to actually show the power saving settings app)
----Run Shell: input keyevent 19 & input keyevent 19 (use root)
----Run Shell: input keyevent 23 (use root)
----App: Go Home
----Secure Settings: Keyguard Enabled
----Display: System Lock
----Input: menu (don't know why, but without this one the screen would light up again after locking)

What this will do, is to wake up the phone/turn on the screen, unlock the keyguard, enter the power saving settings menu and use the keyevent commands to turn on/off the power saving mode and then re-lock / turn off the screen at the end. The reason this turns on the display and unlocks the keyguard, is that keyevents can only work if the display is on.

Does anyone know if it is possible to set Windows Live Messenger and/or Facebook messenger status with Tasker?

I managed to set gtalk status but most of my friends use Windows Live Messenger or Facebook.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] goughymachine:
Does anyone else notice a problem with vibration when running a jb rom? I'm on the latest jb leak and have noticed that when my night profile is active my phone still vibrates when emails come in, even though it's always been set to off in my night profile. When the profile (or any other profile that has an effect on vibration) becomes active a box comes up on the screen saying that vibration isn't available on this phone (or something like that anyway). And when I go into audio settings vibrate on ringer and vibrate on notification are starred and aren't available to use?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ImSherlocked:
Guys,

I have created a profile which presses the BACK button after the call ends so that I do not see the call log window after every call. This works well for normal calls. But in case of missed calls the call log window is not shown and the back button is pressed which is undesirable. CAn we do something like if call duration is 0, do not press the back button?

Auto Sync Profile

Hey everyone,

I am a tasker noob and bought tasker not knowing that it was a little more complicated than I thought, and I am trying to set up what should be a fairly easy profile, but I've been searching all over the place and don't seem to be able to find what I'm trying to do and was wondering if someone could help me set it up.

I am trying to have my phone have auto sync off for every program that uses mobile data EXCEPT for kakaotalk (messaging app). That should always be in sync so that I don't receive messages late. Then, have auto sync turn on for 3 minutes every hour to sync everything else.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
This is the the way i have it do the same thing.

context=state/phone idle

action = app/go home. (or load last app if you prefer)

When you say call log window, do you mean the call summary screen that gives you the option to call or text etc and is shown for a few seconds after every call?

If you are still getting this problem then you can set up another profile called missed call variable.

context=state/missed call

action = variable/variable set/missed call to 1

exit task = clear variable/missed call

then you can add the missed call variable as an "if doesnt match 1" in the above profile
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ImSherlocked:
Thanks for inputs. No I was not talking about call summary window that goes away automatically. I was referring to the call log window (second tab in dialer/phone app) which is shown after every call except missed calls.

Currently my profile looks like this

context=state/phone idle

action = press back button.

If I add a variable for missed call what's the guarantee that it will be executed before the above profile is executed?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
You can try adding a 25 millisec wait in the first line of the task before the back button is pressed? or/and by giving it a higher priority

or

you can integrate the back button press into the missed call profile and have it further down in the list
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ImSherlocked:
Thanks, will try that out.

I did not get you...

I don't want to press the back button in case of missed calls. Why add it in the missed call profile? What purpose would it serve?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jh787:
I see what you mean. I wasn't thinking straight. I think it may need a few profiles. Call Connected/missed call.

I am a bit busy for a few hours but I will conjure something up for you later on this afternoon if you don't have it sorted.

Screen timeout

Hi.

I have had tasker for a while now. I have secure settings installed with helper. I have a few profiles.

1) When I am near home the wifi turns on, (Based on Cell towers)

2) When connected to my home network, the pin lock is disabled, and the ringer volume goes up to 7.

3) When away from home the wifi goes off and the phone turns onto vibrate and the pin lock is activated.

The problem I have is that some how the screen timeout gets disabled. So no matter which profile I am in the screen does not turn off. It only restores when I restart the phone. But the problem still reoccurs.

Do you know how can I fix this?

Kind regards.
