Dude, there is a voice mail for that purpose ; (
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Seifer1975:
I am looking for a simple event or state context to tell me when wifi is turned on. Can't believe that is missing in Tasker. It only has one for Bluetooth status. Why?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Dmaxx67:
Why would you need to know when wifi is turned on? I can see connected but not on or off.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Seifer1975:
Right after posting it, I figured out the way to do it using the variable set event. So it triggers the profile every time the %WIFI variable is set. I just want to set an icon in the notification panel because the wifi signal is very dicey in different rooms of my house. So sometimes I turn it off but forgot to turn it on again. With the icon, it is very easy for me to know whether my wifi is on or off when I want to use it in the correct rooms.

i know that some of the profiles are included in toggle2g, but the app doesn´t work for me correctly, so i got to use the plugin
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] outcry666:
Which plugin do you use i cannot see the 2g related plugin
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] badtzo:
There it is.... just look at State-> variable-> variable value-> %WIFI and choose matches then write on and that's all.

Also State-> network-> WIFI near and setting SSID to * Will do the work. When it detects any Wi-Fi (it means WIFI is on) then do your task.

But the first is the one you're asking for... you just need to remember there are variables that complements the values conditions on a profile.

It's to easy man. Just make a task and add an action then choose

media-> media controls-> play

And that's all =p to easy right?

what's your music player? O_O I have tried it in a lot of players: samsung, htc, sony , np7, xingplayer, poweramp, pro player, play music and works perfect in everyone.

Have you rooted your phone? (I never tried without root).
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] outcry666:
Yes im on omega. Im trying with stock player. Never tried another player. I tried deleting the launch music player command and write only media button play but not worked
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] badtzo:
have you tried if it works with another player? (just to test if tasker works properly) I have use that function with samsung stock player in omega and assasins rom and it works for me :silly: I just can think there is another app making interference with the command. it would be a good idea testing a headset with mic button. Also try the tasker command with another player just to prove there is not another app using the command (tasker does with the default player (stock one is the default right?).
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] outcry666:
Yes stock one is default and i tried with poweramp now it wont work. But at least i managed to play with toggle pause. How weird that i cannot simulate the play button.

Edit:in the end i managed with toggle pause i get what i want to do. Thank you very much mate

todo test file to display on home screem

Guys, I got tasker recently and running up some profiles. I want to create a todo lists to display on the screen. Something like time: todo task line by line. Just like in scenes. I searched everywhere, but couldn't find how to copy the text from todo text file and paste it to scene and display it on the home screen. Did anybody done this kind of profile? Please do share. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] badtzo:
You need root, then install secure settings plugin for tasker.

Make a task, in actions select plugin and secure settings, there is an option for activate or deactivate gps settings.

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 AM ----------

I don't know why do you want that, when is more simple to use an to do list app and place the widget on your home screen.

Also sceens are not forever there in your home screen, actually they stays over your apps in any screen not just home. The scenes acts like pop ups not widget.

But if you want it you can use a txt file where place your to do list, then in tasker use file action and then choose read line, there you can point to your txt and read an specific line of your to do list.

To show it on your home screen you need a widget app not scenes. Try using UCCW or Zoom to get the data from tasker.

But what you are asking for is a lot of work and unnecessary, first be familiar with tasker, then you can do this and more quickly and easy (cause you will get experience).

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] vali_ics:
I tried but that option don't mark that option as on. Only GPS.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] badtzo:
Then use location services instead gps on secure settings, this will stop all locating services.

Also on misc action there is a stop location option n. Choose any and this way can't track you by gps, Wi-Fi or celltowers (I'm not sure for the last one).

This actions will not uncheck that option but must stop taking you.

Last option is to use settings action on tasker and select location services, this will prompt you that screen settings page for manual disabling.

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] julez456:
Is it possible to have Tasker with the AutoVoice plugin launch an app and actually launch an action within that app? I am completely new to Tasker so I don't even know if what I am trying to do is possbile but I have the app shown above (Viper SmartStart) on my phone which allows me to Lock, Unlock and Start my truck with the app. I would like to be able to tell my phone to "START MY TRUCK" or "LOCK OR UNLOCK MY TRUCK" and have Tasker perform that action. As you can see from the app I have to launch it first then I have to hit one of the buttons to do what I want it to do so I'm not sure if it is possible to do within Tasker. I am mainly looking to be able to start my truck by telling my phone to start it but if I can get it to lock and unlock my truck too that would be even doper!

If anyone can help me accomplish this I would be willing to pay them something. Thank you.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] sshafranko:
Im in the same boat as you. Im totaly new to tasker and dont know where to begin. I would like to have tasker turn on airplane mode when my phone starts searching for a signal if I am in a bad area tjen turn off airplane mode after say about 5 min. Trying to conserve some battery by keeping my phone from constantly searching for signal when in bad signal areas. I am also willing to pay for this or maybe this exists and someone could point me to the profile I would greatly appreciate it until I get a hold of making my own profiles. Thanks

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] outcry666:
You can launch that app but i dont think you can press a button automatically.

You can do that by creating a state under phone theres a signal strength choose strength after that create task in it with first wait command 5min under task option. Then add another task from net airplane mode set on in that profile.

By the way i finally managed to inject Toggle2G to my omega rom to run with tasker. Toggle2G s own program is buggy when you choose auto manage network, but runs without any problem with tasker. Choosing Gsm only when wifi on bla bla....

I'm not sure about the voice part but in your task menu, go to the input section and use d-pad to make the selection. It doesn't work on all devices and or all applications.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] niezamema:
hi,can someone show me how to create a profile to turn off my wifi automaticly when not connected to any network?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] bad355camaro:
Are you rooted? If so, can you set your WiFi to stay on when screen is off.. this will make it WAY easier.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] niezamema:
yes..im on cm10.1 liquidsmooth rom..what do u mean by 'set my wifi to stay on when screen is off'?i think my wifi already like that..

i wanted something similar to this app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sebouh00.smartwifitoggler

this app seem to do the job,but i wanted to try using tasker..
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Seifer1975:
This can be quite easily done but you will need to create 2 profiles.

First create a task, e.g. taskA that does the following

Wait n minute

if %WIFI is on then

if %WIFII doesn't match rexeg CONNECTION

turn wifi off

Profile1

Context: Variable Set event

Variable: %WIFI

If %WIFI is on then

Perform task taskA

Profile2

Context: Wifi Connected

Do nothing but add an exit task

Upon exit

Perform task taskA

First profile will turn off your wifi if it's turned on and not connected to a network with n minutes. 2nd profile will do the same once you disconnects from a network.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] bad355camaro:
The phones I've had experience with actually lost WiFi connection when the screen is off and the phone went into deep sleep.

Try this:

Make a profile to detect if your WiFi is not connected:

State > net > WiFi connected, but you want to check invert and you do not need to fill in any of the network info because you want any network.

Next, add a new task, you can name it but don't have to, to shut your WiFi off:

Task > wait > 30 seconds

If > WiFi status isn't set (click on the ~)

Net > WiFi > Set off

Task > End if

That should work for you. The wait is just a good thing to put in incase you loose connection briefly, and then do a quick double check and then it will shut WiFi off.

Both app "A" and "B" are NOT system apps.

Set your profile up to: application > app A

Hi,

I'd like to download a file after midnight, as my data plan provides 5Gb/month between 00:00 - 08:00, the time at which I'm either sleeping or at work and the 5Gb are going down the drain, most of the time.

I have an app in which I can paste a link. The app has got one button "Download" which I need to click on, via Tasker at a desired time.

Can you help me to get that going?

Regards,

Norbert
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] bad355camaro:
Set up a profile to run at a certain time, the task will contain app > load app > (select your app that you are downloading with), next input > dpad > down, you'll need to play with it to figure out how many times you need to click it, then in the same place input > dpad > click, once.

It's going to take a couple tries to get to the correct button. If it only has one button, try starting with 1 or 2 times. Clicking the play button in the bottom corner will run it and you can watch it to see what's going on and make adjustments as necessary.

I've seen profiles that act as a car park finder (for those who have a dreadful memory I guess) and I was wondering if the same process could be done to remember the park location and then set a task with this variable as the location so when I get near the car my car-profile triggers. Any ideas?

These are the steps for the park location profile, for those who may find it useful or want to help me out:

1 Set variable %PARKEDTIME to %TIME

2 Set Minimalistic Text variable 'parkedtime' to %PARKEDTIME see below for more info

3 Variable set %PARKED to %LOCN If %PARKED !Set

4 Clear variable %PARKED (which will hold the car's parked location)

5 Get GPS location with 240 second timeout

6 Set variable %PARKED to %LOC (GPS location)

7 Set variable %PARKED to %LOCN (Network location) if variable %PARKED is not set (i.e. GPS did not get a fix)​
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] pingtiao:
I've just realised that for those with NFC tags in their car that profile can be auto triggered whenever you get out of your car, which is pretty cool if you think about it!
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] bad355camaro:
I have a ton of NFC tags that I use, but honestly, I've turned a lot of my tasks into widgets and one click and it activates, you can even have tasker change the widget icon every time too. I have a screen lock one where it had an image of a lock that is either locked or unlocked depending on if my phone had the lock screen enabled or just a swipe. I have one that is either a car or a house.

I've just got to ask - my friends think I'm a cell phone genius because I can root a phone but Tasker makes my eyes roll into the back of my head. How in the world did you learn all this?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] bad355camaro:
Started off with just trail and error mixed with basic programming knowledge to know what things meant. After getting the hang of things and taking a couple programming classes, im still using a lot of trail and error but I know what I'm doing for the most part so it tends to work out off the box, at least that's on my phone they work. As with any programming, whether more basic java or C++, you borrow stuff that you know works from all your previous programs and just keep elaborating on it.

Inspirational quotes on home screen

I made a tasker profile to show inspirational quotes every hour on home screen.

For this I made a text file containing more than 100 quotes, each seperated by "/" for seperating and identifying an individual quote.

Then picking up any quote randomly and pushing it to "Minimalistic Text" tasker plugin.

For displaying on screen I used "Minimalistic Text".

Profile:

/Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. –Napoleon Hill

/Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. –Steve Jobs

/Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value. –Albert Einstein

/Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. –Robert Frost

/The common question that gets asked in business is, ‘why?’ That’s a good question, but an equally valid question is, ‘why not?’ -Jeffrey Bezos

/You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. –Wayne Gretzky

Step: 2

TASKER CONFIGURATION

Need a hand. I've got a school profile, based on cell near that if Im at school, turns vibrate on, sets ringer and media to 0.

This is good, although if at lunchtime im playing music I notice that everytime it checks it resests the values again.

Is there a way to make it that it only change once when I enter the cell range, and doesnt override any manual changes?

I also have an exit task to put all the values up full. Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] arandheer:
Adding context

You might consider adding a context to your school profile;

when Cell near + [Not] Music app --> Current Task

So, as soon as you leave the music app your school profile will get re-activated.

Hope this may help. :)
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Riimez:
Yeah that overcomes this problem, but thats just a specific example. Is there a setting that doesnt activiate the profile every single time it polls, just once one entrance.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] bad355camaro:
Depending on where the school is, you may switch to different towers. Copy the ones you have and scan again to see if they change from the profile now to when you are at lunch or in a different location that you are having issues at. If they are different, add all of them
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Dmaxx67:
With cell near scan and walk all over your normal area and it should pick up every tower it can link to

Playing on Tasker this morning and seen I had a profile that I forget about because it runs in the background (and should be on the phone like it used to be, but Google didn't think it was necessary) but use every day, volume sync to sync notification and ringer volumes.

Profile: event > variable set > variable:volume ringer (%VOLR), leave value blank

Task: audio > notification volume: %VOLR

I have mine set to %VOLR+1 because my notification is a little soft so it's always 1 louder than the ringer.
