One of my more useful ones is a set of Bluetooth controls. It has 3 core profiles and any number of time profiles that will turn Bluetooth on at a specified time and disable it after so many minutes with a few different conditions to handle active connections and such. This keep Bluetooth off for most of the day and only turns it on when I normally need it the most.

Would anyone be able to create a tasker profile to disable the LED notification during certain hours (for TouchWiz)? Example, turn off all LED notifications at 11pm, turn back on at 7am.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ViperRacer:
Try these out. The Disable Sync at night has the time component and prevents email and other Google sync items from being sync during that time frame (I have to leave my phone off silent for On-Call pages, but hate getting email notifications and such at 2am). With the below, from 11:30pm to 6:20am Sync is disabled. As a result, any notifications that do come in will trigger the other two profiles to get ride of the notification light. On handles the initial notification received the other turns the light back off if you turn the screen on the off again (normally the notification is reset and it would flash if we didn't add this extra step. The two that issue commands require Root. It would be best to manually run them once to ensure Tasker has the permissions it needs.

If you don't want sync disabled, then change the profile Active attribute in 'Disable Notify Light @night' to a Time range. Hope this helps.

Profile Name: Disable Notify Light @night

Contexts:

Notification - *, *

Profile Active - Disable Sync At Night

Tasks:

1.) Run Shell - Command echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/sec/led/led_pattern Use Root

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
Will try this out tonight, really appreciate your help and quick response!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aaronfuhrer:
Thanks for those great profiles, ViperRacer. I hope you don't mind if I ask you a quick question. You don't need to go to the time to make one out if you don't want to, but I've been trying to make a profile to disable the lock screen when I'm at home. I have it set to disable when I'm on my Wi-Fi, but it only seems to work 50% of the time. It'll be off for a while, then randomly turn on again. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ViperRacer:
I'd be curious to know what your Advanced Wi-Fi Settings were, specifically the 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep'. If it is set to 'Never' or 'Only when plugged in' it will turn off the Wi-Fi at some point while the phone screen is off, thus causing the tasker profile to stop running until the phone is woken up again which would happen second to you turning on the phone and being presented with the unwanted lock screen.

I would suggest setting that option to 'Always' and see if it yields better results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
I tried the profiles last night and unfortunately it didn't work. The auto-sync didn't shut off and the LED notification stayed on. I did run it manually to allow root so I don't think that was the issue. Any idea why it didn't work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ViperRacer:
That's rather strange. The disable auto sync is one of the simpler profiles and should have worked. I hate to ask, but is the profile enabled (green check mark)? All three should be enabled at all times. Try modifying the profile and set the time range to be something that would force it to activate now and plug it into a power source. If you don't want the power source requirement (which is another possibility) just remove that context. I personally keep it in case I'm out late with friends so I continue to get email even if it is past the hour.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Austin808:
I also ran this last night.

In order for the profile to kick in it needs to be during the time specified and plugged in.

Once I plugged in my phone my sync turned off.

My red battery charge light did come on. Not sure if this stayed on the whole time or not. Later at night when I woke up I did not see the green charged light on.

At the specified time in the morning, while still plugged in my sync turned back on and I received my email messages.

So for me this worked well, but I will need to check to see why the red light stayed on. I would have expected the profile to kill this light too.

Thanks for these profiles they worked pretty good for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ViperRacer:
I had turned my charging light off within the first day of getting the phone so I've never actually tested that part. I would take a guess that there is no notification occurring, thus the profile isn't triggered killing the LED for charging. The Green LED is killed because we do get a notification in the bar for a full charge. One solution is to maybe add another couple of tasks in the Disable Sync At Night profile that waits for 10 seconds and then issue the command there to kill off that light. But thats only a guess. I'll play around with it and see if that would fix it.

Update:

I tested out this and it worked. Screen was off and within 10 seconds the led was shutoff.

Profile Name: Disable Sync At Night

Contexts:

From - 23:30 Till 06:20

Power - Any

Tasks:

Enter Task

1.) Auto Sync - Set Off

2.) Wait - Seconds10

3.) Run Shell - Command echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/sec/led/led_pattern Use Root

This will take care of the initial red charging light. As a note, the light in theory would come back if the screen was turned back on and off but the other profile triggered at display off will handle that condition. Adjust the 10 second wait as needed if your screen timeout is longer. May not be much of an issue though as the other profile should kick in in the event the screen stays on long enough.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
Doh! I was testing it without it being plugged in. I bet that was the problem, thanks I'll adjust to remove that feature and see if it works.

Edit: Works!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Austin808:
Thanks, this information helped me to find a solution that works for me.

I added the Wait 10 seconds to the task Notify Light Off.

Added Notify Light Off task to the Disable Sync At Night profile

Changed profile Disable Notify Light, change the Profile Active to Disable Sync At Night (if I did not do this if I turn on the screen then back off again the light would stay on)

I think this is working perfectly for me now. Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lock-N-Load:
I have these (no order) I can think of:

1. power plug: turn keyguard off, keep screen on

2. wifi off at 10:30 pm in case I forget to turn it off (battery savings)

3. sync off 10:30-6am so I do not get emails and such while I sleep

4. on sunday's from 9-10:15 it mutes the phone while I am in church

5. from 11:45pm until 5:30am it goes into airplane mode (battery savings)

6. when Navi app is run, GPS is turned on, screen brightness is turned up, keyguard is turned off, screen stays on

7. BT turns off at 9pm (battery savings)

8. whenever BT initially syncs, a tone is played to tell me the phone is connected and ready
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aaronfuhrer:
Hmm, that keep Wi-Fi on during sleep option didn't seem to help. Not sure what else it would be. Thanks for trying anyways!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Austin808:
There is a little known bug/feature of the S3. I found and saved this tip a while back. Needs to be done every time you reboot though.

WiFi Powersave

Using the phone dialer, dial *#0011# then press the menu key, then from the popup menu, select WiFi. You will see a button to turn off the power save mode. It will stay off until the phone is restarted, and this should allow control by Tasker to be more consistent. Press the back button repeatedly to get out of these screens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guthrien:
Thanks for tips I was wondering why I couldn't get the lock screen profiles to work either. What if they were tied to cell towers near home?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Obrien8403:
My lock screen has randomly appeard on me as well.

Profiles:

Wi-fi on when in range of certain towers

lock screen off when connected to router

I seem to get the random unexpected lock screens after a rebooting, and thought I had it narrowed down to cycling tasker on and off a few times. I just started using tasker a couple days ago, will keep tinkering with it, let me know if this helps you at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] modmandan:
I just started using tasker and I'm trying to create a (what should be) very simple profile.

I want to have my display brightness normally set to 36% on battery and 75% when plugged in.

It works very well, except that if I reboot my phone while plugged in, it will not go back down in brightness once i unplug it.

I simply set a "task" to set the brighness at level 165 when power source is AC. I don't see a selection for battery, just "any, AC or USB".

How do I get it to check if it's not plugged in to set the display brighness?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ViperRacer:
Try using the Invert option with Both AC/USB. It should fire when power is not provided by either of those sources.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] modmandan:
That did the trick! I knew it was something simple I was missing!

Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] modmandan:
Okay, now that that is working good, I have need for a another more complex task and need some direction as to where to look or if it's even possible.

I run Waze navigation instead of Google maps. I need a way to pop up a warning message if I start the app while running on battery instead of ac. Maybe a dialog box in the center of the screen that I can close? Again, I don't know if it's possible and I won't get into why I need it. Just became necessary. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ViperRacer:
You can add an Alert Popup with the conditions you specify (not on AC/USB power and app load). The popup can then say whatever you want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
Anyone know of a way to shut down the device (Tasker > Misc. > Reboot > Shutdown) after a certain amount of idle or screen-off time?

(Looking for my Kindle Fire, not my SGS3)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chillz88:
Sure

Profile--> press state- press display state- choose off

Task--->press misc-press reboot-select shutdown

Add another task to previous task-press task- press wait- select the amount of time you want the phone to wait till you want it to shutdown.

DONE..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:
Excellent. I'll give that a try. Thank you!

Looking at the setup, wouldn't I want to first have a wait task, then have a shutdown task?

EDIT: WORKS PERFECTLY (with the last two tasks reversed). Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chillz88:
Oops!..my bad .... yes , you are right..:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Obrien8403:
I switched to using secure settings to enable and disable my lock screen. Seems better so far, I'll report back after I have had more time to test it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chip.hughes:
I have used several profiles, started using Tasker on the Dinc. Some of the ones I still use:

1: When plugged in key guard off,

2. Random wallpaper.

3. A shortcut on the home screen to change wallpaper to next random.

5. Silent hours,

6. Bluetooth on and off.

7. Talking clock.

No longer use

1. Facedown speakerphone

2. Open music app when headset plugged in

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] some_kid6:
I use the following:

Sleepy time - if the phone is charging and it's night time, it goes into silent mode

Silent boot part 1 - on device shutdown, put the phone on silent

Silent boot part 2 - on device boot, turn sound back on

Silent Class - uses google calendar events to silence my phone during class

Lock - locks apps like settings and facebook to deter mischievous friends

Charge Key Guard - Turns keyguard off when it's plugged in

Music Menu - a menu pops up when a headset is plugged in showing my music apps and square
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tarpit_Carnivore:
Headphone plugged in: keep screen on, brightness to 60% on exit put brightness back to Auto

Wifi on/off: when within X radius of my house turn wifi on, when outside of radius disable wifi (i had this set up for work but I work from home now)

At 10PM mute sounds, at 7am turn sounds back on

I had one for set up to ring only for contact favorites but it conflicted with the regular ringtone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sharkeyd:
When headphones and power cord plugged in. I have it set to keep the screen on (when listening to music in the car I like to see what's playing and not have to wake the phone to change tracks).

Also wifi on when near the cell towers at my house and work and off all other times so I'm not using battery looking for signal I'm not going to use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FOLBlog:
1) Sheduled Nandroid Backup and deletion of all previous Nandroid Backups, if there are any.

2) Scheduled delete of all GO Backups but the last one

3) Auto WiFi On /OFF and Mobile Data on /off depending my Note is near or not a WiFi of which I know wpa/wep password.

4) Auto night / day settings (audio/screen settings, etc.)

5) Auto GPS On / Off for those apps that use it (Maps, Google Earth, Sygic, etc.). It needs free Secure Settings plugin.

I'm looking for a method to manage 2G/3G connection with Tasker.

I've found an app that works only with certain ROM, but not with TW/CleanNote. (I don't remember the thread, search for 2G/3G Toggle app on XDA).

Anyone knows how to manage the switch from 2G to 3G (and viceversa) through Tasker?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PhilPan:
Is there a profile I could make to take off pattern lock when I'm at home? And put it back on when I leave?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zxsix:
Yes this can be done. You need tasker and the secure settings plugin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ajc1700:
1) hit cell tower at house; turn wifi on

2) hit home wifi: turn lock screen off, vlingo car off and screen timeout to 2 min

3) 10 o'clock; turn sounds off, screen dims and screen rotate off (I read the phone on my side so flipping back and forth is annoying)

4) 6 o'clock; turn sounds on, screen time out to 30 secs, turn wifi off and Bluetooth on

5) Bluetooth connects to car; start slacker radio and vlingo car on

6) hit cell tower at work; wifi on,

7) hit work wifi; screen saver change, vlingo car off and screen lock on

8) disconnect from work wifi; wifi off and Bluetooth on

Can any one give me some directions on how to set it up so my WiFi turns off when not connected to my home network:confused::D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Girrlkitty:
Does anyone know if there's a way to get Tasker to read incoming emails? I've found a lot of how-tos to get it to read incoming SMS, but I get way more email than texts, and I would like to have it read, at least, the From and Subject, if not the whole email. I use both Gmail and the in-built Samsung email app for two different accounts, and ideally I'd like it to read me both when the new notification pops up. Is this even possible? I'm not rooted (yet...) so I don't know if that makes a difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zxsix:
Looks like only if you use k9 mail app.

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

Add profile - State - Net - Wifi Near - browse and select your ssid.

You can start there but tasker will turn on wifi every 15 seconds to see if its near or not, so not really gaining anything.

Prob better off using state connected to local cell tower near home.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lvader:
reboot

Hello

i'm starting to use tasker

I wonder if is possible that the phone rebot each time is 100% charged, but when reboot and is still conected, don't do that again until next charge

any help?

thanks

and sorry for my bad english
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scooter217:
I have been trying out several Profile apps such as Llama, MyProfiles+, and profile schedular. One thing I have been trying to get to work is making my phone silent from 10PM-6AM and only allowing notifications or the ringer to come from certain contacts. With Llama, its called noisy contacts. I have read that it’s a Samsung issue but wanted to see if anyone else has tried this? Does tasker do this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
Can anybody create a profile that turns the display on when a text comes in & leaves it on until I respond to the text??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] UnSungHERO420:
I've been using tasker for the longest. I have so many profiles. I'd be lost without them lol. I also use secure settings and lux auto brightness plugins to make the tasks work better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aaronfuhrer:
I have a profile set to give a popup of my music apps when my headphones are in, but it looks really really ugly. I've seen some screenshots of some nicer looking menus, but have never figured out how to do that. Can someone give me a tutorial or a download link of a nicer looking one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neflhiem:
I made my first profile last night, it needs to be refined a bit but i like the idea. Currently Apex is my normal launcher but upon launching Nova launcher

blue tooth on, wifi off, wallpaper change.

essentially i have set the homescreen for Nova Launcher to be my "in car dashboard" all my driving/sound widgets are there. the wall paper goes to an infiniti logo.

My next step is goign to make my NFC chip in the car trigger Nova launcher.

Then i need to figure out how to make it auto switch back upon BT disconnect. (i hanve gotten into the exit states yet. this is all very new).

right now i just hit the home button and im back in Apex, but thats not quite as elegant.

Im sure there is a better way over all to do this (can Tasker force Apex to a certain homescreen? thus bypassing the need to open a new launcher...)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Amdathlonuk:
Hi.

I'm hoping someone can help.

I've just bought a new car with inbuilt bluetooth.

When I start it my phone automatically connects and starts streaming music, with the screen off.

I'd like the screen to come on and stay on when my music app is running, once it stops I would like it to revert to 30 seconds time out.

Been trying for days but I'm not a programmer :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
It sounds like you need to create a task that turns off screen timeout and another task to set screen timeout back to 30 seconds. Then create a profile that runs those tasks based on whether your car is connected to your phone, you can select individual Bluetooth profiles.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Amdathlonuk:
Hi mate.

Thanks for replying...

Yeah, I was doing it wrong I think originally.

However I've now worked out that I need to create the condition based on being connected to my car rather than if music was playing.

I think I now have that bit sussed after looking on youtube. Still struggling though....

here's my train of thought

1. phone is connected to 'car bluetooth'

2. If screen timeout is <120 mins

3. Goto settings/display settings/screen timeout

4. Change screen timeout to 2h

5. If phone is not connected

6. Wait 5 mins

7. Go to settings/display settings/ screen timeout

8. Change screen timeout to 30 seconds

I'm struggling to get this inputted though as it seems my phone doesn't support the 'input' options of d pad in tasker!

I have a Note 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jayrod76:
After finally making the jump to Tasker and searching through countless threads/pages, I have been able to create a few profiles and adapt a few others for my own needs..screen off/data off/sync after 45 mins for 1 min 30 sec, then back off (this one was tricky) and just basic profiles for music on/off screen stay on when headphones were plugged in..back home after headphones un plugged...but one thing I can't seem to do is create a MT widget to display system info,not just battery,temp,etc..I would like CPU frequency,etc. I'm not asking for hand holding but if someone either has this type of profile or could point me in the right direction , I would appreciate it! I have looked through XDA, Tasker Google group and many others with no success.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PhilPan:
Maybe someone here can help me. I originally had Tasker set up using Secure Settings to turn on pattern lock when I leave my house, and turn it off when I am in the house; I do this thru Wi-Fi connected feature.

Now what I would like to do is to turn on the new circles lock screen in AOkp when I am home, as opposed to the original one. Is there a way to toggle this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lechapeau:
Issues loading profiles

Tasker loaded running on CM10.

I can't get any profiles to import. I have them in the tasker/profile folder, and they show up as an option to import, but they always error out when importing with the error - Error: Failed to import profile data

I've tried multiple files with the same response.

Any ideas? This all seems really cut and dry and pretty simple so I'm a bit confused as to the issue.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JimmyMagic:
Hi guys, wonder if anyone far more intelligent than me, could help me out.

Have an issue with my phone and am hoping tasker can help me out.

I basically want to do the following.....

If earphones are plugged in and I receive a call, keep screen off.

Secondly, I would also like......

After call, resume audio (beyondpod).

Any advice would be appreciated.
