[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a10waveracer:
I'm having this issue too. I have a rooted Galaxy Nexus and have enabled Tasker in Accessibility settings. I've attempted to run the ''Run and Rename Snapchat Image' when I had a pending one and it did not work. I could, however, see the file in the directory (/data/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/received_image_snaps) when I checked it out via Root Explorer. I also could see my contact's name in the %Username value.

My Run Log from when I manually run that task with an active Snapchat is attached with the 5-3 profile.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantemplation:
Thanks for the Run Log.

Well, your answer is that the List Files command (label List nomedia) is failing to find the files in the folder. I can think of only two possible reasons for this (and I think it's #1):

1. Check the permissions of the folder /received_image_snaps/ and tell me if it's missing read permissions for group or other (I think Tasker falls under Other, but I forget). If it is, try manually adding those permissions (check the boxes); you might want to add permissions to execute as well, just in case. I can set up another command in the run-once profile to solve this for everyone if it fixes it for you, so let me know.

2. In the List nomedia command, I have it set up to match any files in there which have a character or more followed by .nomedia (this is under Match, listed as "+.nomedia"). If the files you see in that folder don't match this regex, it won't list them. You can safely delete this entirely without any negative side-effects. Nothing gets put in that folder that doesn't match that regex, anyway, for me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a10waveracer:
Yeah, the permissions were not set to allow it reading. Now it gets to the end before it fails. I've uploaded the run log as well as a screenshot of the error it pops out. It's worth noting that the file it "can't find" both exists and has 777 permissions set.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantemplation:
Strange. I normally only see the copy file error if the file itself doesn't have permissions (which would be the result of the previous command not working) or if the %Username1 variable doesn't exist, but you noted clearly that it did work, and the variable should still be there from when it found it earlier.

And I think I just duplicated this error. It's so mundane that this is the case, but it's quite a big issue, so I'll have to update the version in a bit. Try adding a Saves folder in your Snapchat folder in your sd card. I was about to doubt this would be the case until I tried a different folder in my task.

Though, I'm confused why your screen still showed that error. Something's still awry I think...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a10waveracer:
Adding a /Saves/ folder into /Snapchat/ did nothing to help that error.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantemplation:
When I looked at your picture again I realized that would be the case. Adding the folder will probably save us one more step, but now I'm confused why it's not finding the files because they obviously exist and you said they have 777 permissions.

This might be the current issue (because it still won't copy): Delete the variable %LastImgFilename1 (which'll show up in the Home project VARS list) before running the task. That's there to prevent duplicates, but if it failed in the first place, the variable sometimes still gets added, and that'll prevent it from copying anything.

The one thing I still can't replicate is your popup error message, though. That's confusing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a10waveracer:
I've deleted the variable (which was set to a value of '%lastimgfilename') but it didn't seem to fix it. I still get the error when copying.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantemplation:
Oh, that's interesting. That explains the ErrIgnore for your Test File Name command, though. I still don't really understand the issue, cause I can't seem to duplicate it :(

YES! I'm pretty sure I got to duplicate it. Does your /cache/ folder above the /received_image_snaps/ folder have at least 775 permissions? Try adding those permissions to the /cache/ folder and also 755 or more to the /com.android.snapchat/ folder above that one. Let me know if this fixes it for you. It's seriously one of the last things I could think of, but probably the best because I could reproduce the issue. If so, I'll immediately add a few things to the new profile which should fix any and all of these issues for new users.

My new run-once profile is gonna have a ton of fixes in it, lol. Such a hassle (but seriously, chmod is the bomb)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruzzah:
I don't have /data/media/Android/com.snapchat.android/cache or /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.snapchat.android/cache

Mine is: /sdcard/Android/data/com.snapchat.android/cache

Hope that helps.

Also I'm not permitted to change the permission on the folder. :(

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dahlmo:
quantemplation, I've followed the steps you've provided to a10waveracer (except deleting %LastImgFilename) and I've now gotten it working with pictures, I haven't bothered tested videos yet. Changing permissions on the folders seemed to be the trick :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantemplation:
Ruzzah, thanks for that. That'll be helpful for implementation on different system versions (i.e. cm/aosp vs touchwiz)

Do you still have the folder for images located in data/data/com.snapchat.android/cache in cm10.1?

Also, if you don't have permission, make sure the folder is switched to read-write (RW) before trying to adjust it. I'll just assume you actually have root access, as that is a requirement for this to work. you could just as easily do a terminal chmod command with su permissions. However, if you'd rather just wait for the new version, I could try to do that too. I just need to know if that folder is the same.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruzzah:
I get "Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems (e.g. SD card) do not allow permission changes."
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantemplation:
You're right...I get that error too if I try to change it from the SDcard. This'll be tricky. I think that in touchwiz (aka. firmware less than 4.2+) those two folders have symbolic links or something, which is why if you change one the other one changes. Let me think...

Do the sdcard/Android/com.snapchat.android/ and /cache/ folders not have those permissions already?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruzzah:
Finally got it to work, had to manually create sdcard/Snapchat/Saves folder.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantemplation:
Sweet. The new version will have that done in the run-once profile (as well as a separate copy video profile for 4.2+ users). Uploading in a few minutes.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruzzah:
I would test out the video by sending myself one but the app crashes when recording for some reason, and I can't start the app until I restart the device which is a bummer.

4.2 received_video folder is "/sdcard/Android/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/received_video_snaps"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantemplation:
Have you had the crashing error for a while? Or did it begin after using this Tasker project? I can send videos to myself without a problem, so perhaps try uninstalling and reinstalling the app (and then running the new Folder Fixes profile task again (as long as the folders are still there to re-give permissions to))?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruzzah:
Yeah I've had it for a while before Tasker, reinstalled app and nothing, I guess it's just Cyanogenmod, I get really low framerate when recording, but was able to successfully send myself a video, renamed the strings in Tasker and made the folder Saves/Vids and it still didn't copy/rename the file. :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantemplation:
You're using the 5-4 version? The 4.2 Framework tasks should've already addressed the new file locations.

Did any errors pop-up or did the task complete without errors yet without copying the file? If it's the latter, check your variables in the Home project and delete anything starting with %Last

Oh wait, this might have to do with the permissions for cm10.1 because you don't have the folder in data/media/...

I wish there were a way to figure out how to change the permissions on the internal sdcard. Try removing the /received_video_snaps/ line from the File Modified profile for now.

One other thought is to manually create the /data/media/Android/data/com.snapchat.android/received_video_snaps/ folder and then run the folder fixes again. Assuming they are still symlinked, that would fix the permissions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruzzah:
Yeah I got it to work now, you forgot to specify the proper name for the 4.2 framework Copy/Rename process, you had it run the generic one and causing errors of missing folder.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantemplation:
Oops :o Well, good catch! I'll switch that in my 5-4 zip right now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a10waveracer:
Yeah, changing the permissions fixed it. Thanks so much!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dahlmo:
How would I go about changing the permissions in the video recieved folder? Android Commander doesn't allow me, and I can't do it on the phone because it will be gone by the time I can find the folder :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantemplation:
Really, all you should have to do is tell Tasker to run the Runs-Once profile's task again. If that doesn't seem to work, then signs point to it being a problem with your sdcard, in which case you should connect it to a computer and reformat it—or so I've read.

Edit: This is assuming you're running 4.2+ Framework and my most recent release. If you're on TouchWiz like me and that task doesn't fix it, then there're some serious problems, like Tasker not having root authority.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruzzah:
Getting some duplicate saves, when I get two snap chats it copies twice. Also username is set at mine and not the senders?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantemplation:
Hmmm. As for the duplicate saves issue, I'm not sure why that's happening. Mine doesn't do that...

Well now I am able to replicate this. Okay, I'll see what I can do.

For the username, it'll miss it if you don't get a notification, which'll happen if you were in the app when receiving the snap. You can set an Array Clear at the end of the Copy/Rename tasks for variable Username, and then it'll give you a query to input the person's name if that happens.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruzzah:
I get notifications, it reads my username and not the senders?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantemplation:
My guess is that Tasker's accessibility setting got turned off somehow. If not...then I don't know. The only other explanation I could think of is if you get different notifications than I do. Mine don't have my name in them unless I sent myself one.

Anyhow, I revamped the way it checks for previously copied snaps. It should now be foolproof. I'll update it in a few minutes.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam_handwich:
Hi OP, for some reason tasker is not recognizing my /data folder. When I try to recreate the path the /data folder is empty, and manually typing it in does not recognize the folder.

My thought was that Tasker had lost root privileges, so I had SuperSU "forget" tasker. But now Tasker isn't even asking for Root privileges, and I can't get SuperSU to recognize it. Any thoughts?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantemplation:
I had that issue when I first started using Tasker. It seems that even giving it root privileges does not let it "read" the root directories or something like that. I think a better explanation is that it doesn't use root unless it is specifically asked to. Either way, the only functionality that I don't get with root is the ability to browse to the folders in the program, as you were trying to do. If you want to give it root back, you should run an action that requires root (I think the simplest might be to tell it "su" in Shell without the quotes).

This project should run correctly straight out of the box. I'm not exactly sure why you were messing around with the folders it was searching for...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam_handwich:
Just dl-ed the 5-6 version and it's working perfectly. Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ^tyrant^:
Just came across this, I have it imported and ran the fix folders. It seems to catch the notification but its not catching the persons username, and if i dont enter one it seems to stop,

is there a way to just have it copy the new snap over with out adding who its from? i dont care if i know who sent it or not.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantemplation:
I was considering making a version like that. That'll give me something to do today. (As for your problem, go to android settings, accessibility, and make sure Tasker is listed on)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ^tyrant^:
Tasker was turned off, i turned it on we will see if that fixes the problem
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAEVARM3:
Is there any possibility for a tutorial on this? For some reason I don´t get what i´m supposed to do with "SNAP.prj.xml" file? ....

Also, i can´t see any Tasker option in (Android Settings> Accessibility> Tasker)

Peace

EDIT: I installed Tasker from the Market and now it is On in Accessibility :) ... but what then tihi
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantemplation:
You might have to turn off "beginner mode" in Tasker preferences. Then follow the instructions on the main page. There should be an icon at the bottom to press or long press that brings up a menu to click Import.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManUtdRul3:
For some reason I just can't get this to work. I've imported the project, I even got a pop up from SuperSU where I granted root for it. The folders have shown up and I've recieved over 15 snapchats since that, yet none of them have saved into the folders.

Any ideas?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantemplation:
One of the only things I can think of at the moment is like the last person. I'm assuming you've read that and made sure Tasker's Accessibility is running and are still getting these errors.

Also, check to see if your %LastImgFilesize or %LastVidFilesize arrays have values (You'll have to switch over to your Home project to find these). You can long click one of them and then click the rest of them to highlight them all and then click the X in the top of the screen to delete them all.

Maybe run the Folder Fixes associated task again.

Any one of those things could be the problem. If none of those things solve it...I dunno what to say, cause the latest version worked for me. But anyway, I'm recently spending most of my time turning this into a fully functional app, with plenty of options, new features, not relying on Tasker, bug fixes, and etc so if you'd rather wait for that, I'll let everyone know when it's finished. I'm thinking I'll leave these files up for another day maybe, depending on a few things, but after that I'll be transitioning over completely.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManUtdRul3:
I've got it to work if I manually 'test' the "Snap File Added" profile, but it just doesn't seem to work automatically yet. I've disabled the "SnapVid File Added (4.2+ Framework)" since my GS3 ROM is on 4.1.2.

I've ran the Folder Fixes profile several times too. Also Tasker JB is enabled in Accessibility settings too..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantemplation:
Another thing that worked for me in a situation like yours, strangely enough, was to clone the Snap File Added profile, and then delete the old one. You clone by long pressing it and clicking the ... at the top
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManUtdRul3:
I did that and it worked once, but then not again.. weird. I'll probably keep messing around with it to try and get it to work unless you have any other ideas.

If not I'll probably just manually run the task each time I suppose.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hyflex:
download removed?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantemplation:
Yeah, I hear ya. It's not too much of a pain to manually run it, for me at least. I tried messing with the folder it searches for in the File Modified event, but it didn't really help either. Stuff like this is why I've decided to move away from Tasker for this kind of thing.

For now :/ Sorry man. This thing was too frustrating to get working with all the issues that came up for no apparent reason, especially like the one above, so I have switched my focus toward making an app with the same and more functionality.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hyflex:

Well, I was playing around with my note2 apn settings for my net10 service yesterday just trying different things and figured out I can get internet typing in any 2 words in the apn field, the one I was using made no sense so i got curious It was Simple Mobile, So then I tried Net 10 so that worked too, so then I tried 4g lte...still got internet, then I tried F U (you know what) and that worked, finally I tried my full name, and surley enough I got internet with that too, I then tried it on 2 more phones, the note and the s3, and it worked on both, I have no idea why this works but I thought Id share it, try it out if you have net10, or any carrier because im curious. Just make sure its 2 words with a space and let me know if I just have some magical sim card or if this always works. and note I had no speed difference, witch is what i was hoping for but I still had net10 fake wannabe 4g that's more like 2g, but I still thought it was interesting and share worthy:D

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] graah:
I've been using mine since December with no problems. I'm using T-Mobile as a carrier and been pleased with both my cell signal and GPRS coverage. However, as of about a week and a half ago I suddenly stopped receiving a carrier signal 100% of the time. I simply get the No Service indicator on my phone. The interesting thing is that when I know I'm in an area where I previously had coverage I can go into settings/phone and click the option to manually select a network and after the phone polls for a few seconds it will connect to the network and provide a list of carriers, in my case I see Cingular and ATT Wireless show up. So I know the hardware is working.

I've done soft resets, hard resets, even let the battery backup run dry and still no luck. I have a secondary cheapy Samsung GSM phone that confirms that my SIM is working as well as how strong the signal is, my XDAII just seems to be not wanting to connect.

Any ideas?

*Oh yes, I'm using the default ROM image that shipped with the unit as it's been working fine and I haven't wanted to risk any complications etc.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] JokeZony0u:
I recently purchased the MiniGuard Screen Protector (HD Clear) and thought I'd share my experience with it so far. All I can say is two thumbs up. This screen protector does NOT hamper the writing at all!! It does add a bit of resistance which is expected but I found that the added resistance actually helps because it makes writing on the Note 8.0 feel more like paper and more natural.

Furthermore, the cutouts are great, very rarely do I see screen protectors have such great cutouts (even around the button). Next to the writing, I drew several lines to show that the resistance of the S-Pen remains intact (note the fading and the thickening of the stroke). Check out the pics below, I definitely recommend this screen protector.

It can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BXQUQ9U/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Pros

-Great cutouts

-Does not hamper S-Pen

-Added resistance actually helps

-Super clear

-Smudges noticeably reduced than screen without the protector

-Easily applied, no bubbles at all

Cons

-None that I can see

10/10!

Finally..yes I buy a lot of accessories for my electronics because I like to have them looking pristine and new even after a long period of use- expect more reviews haha
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] agambhandari:

Thanks for another thorough and helpful review! I'm glad to hear of your very positive experience! :)

Hey, I'm not complaining! I appreciate your reviews a lot, and like you I prefer to protect my investments as best I can! :)

I wonder about the differences in writing styles, particularly regarding how much pressure (or not) a given person applies while writing? If one writes with a "heavy hand" that would be more likely to "dig in" to the screen protector.

[MENTION=883744]JokeZony0u[/MENTION]: How would you describe your writing style? Do you "bear down hard" when you write, or otherwise put a lot of pressure on the pen, or do you think you write more moderately?

Let us all know how your experience with the anti glare ones goes. I tend to like anti glare screen protectors, so long as they don't dampen the visual image under normal conditions (ie, make it too hazy).
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] JokeZony0u:
Hey appreciate your support for the reviews!

Typically I write softly and don't apply that much pressure. So far I haven't had any scratches from writing on it, and I have been writing very often for notes in class and work

And like kisrita said, there's 3 in the package. So if one scratches, just switch it out. Also it isn't so bad to scratch a screen protector, that's what it's there for!
