Is there a way to make 3g turn of when the screen is off and on when the screen is on again?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] karimdag:
I guess that this would work :

1. + -> State -> Display -> Display State -> Set to Off

2. New task : Name it 3G-Off -> + -> Mobile Data -> Set to Off

3. Add Exit task -> Name it 3G-On -> + -> Mobile Data -> Set to On

If this didn't worked then you should maybe try this :

Can you upload the project for the first one on brighten

If I actually did help, how bout a Thanks for 'ol times sake
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] karimdag:
Here you go, it have another profile for 3G/Wifi Enabling but i'm too lazy to delete it :p

I Thnik that you will also like thoese one ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] karimdag:
Any requests ?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] invano:
Thank you to the OP for letting me discover this incredible app.

Now it's time to make some profiles by using scripts and cpu governor :)

EDIT: Do you guys know what kind of task could be useful to block/unblock notifications?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] karimdag:
Could you please explain a little bit more for what you want ?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] invano:
I mean something like the touchwiz blocking mode for notification or like iOS. When there is a new notification/call/SMS no sound is played and the screen stays off.

The problem with the touchwiz toggle is that it only works with call and SMS so I'd like to replicate a complete behavior with tasker
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] karimdag:
Try :

+ -> state -> display -> display state -> Set on Off

Add a new task :

+ -> Audio -> Slient Mode -> set on On
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] pitastrudl:
regarding the wifi-auto-on feature using cell near, its not that accurate, actually its the least accurate location profile context but also the least battery draining. so let me share what i've done with that.

Profile -wifi home:

screen on

+

cell near(walked around my house)

+

wifi near(selected my ssid)(make sure you have wifi toggle selected)

the point of this is that it wont scan for wifi while screen off and it will first try to match all the context in an order. so first the screen has to be on, then the cell towers must be near and lastly the wifi AP must be close, for the wifi to turn on. This eliminates the possible battery drain if you try using only wifi near and poor accuracy by the only cell near context. in my town, there is a shopping center quite near and when i walk past it, my goddamn cell near context was switching wifi AP's all the time, which made me loose my nerves. so i added the wifi-near context and voila!. the wifi turns on when im a few meters from my house.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] @xDeepS:
Galaxy S4 has an Accessibility Setting bug which makes it turn on Talkback and you cant turn it off. It also trigger many other bugs.

I knew about Tasker but it doesn't work right on S4. In fact any app that requires Accessibility enabled doesn't work.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Fruktsallad:
Don't know about that accessibility bug you're talking about, but I'm a longtime Tasker user and I can tell you that it works flawlessly on my S4. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ktetreault14:
Thanks bro

If I actually did help, how bout a Thanks:D
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] invano:
Am I wrong or if you use wifi near you must create a task for every ssid that you need?

Instead by using cell near it is possible to set more cells with the same task.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] karimdag:
Yes for your both questions :D
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] RustyWrightOne:
Hi all.

Does anyone know if it is possible that when the phone is on silent and gets a missed call / text message an email can be sent to a specific address?

Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] pitastrudl:
what? :D. you just select the wifi ssid in the context. there are three contexts, one entering(wifi on) and one exiting task(wifi off). thats it.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] karimdag:
You can't do that on silent mode only but maybe you can set a timer : so you can put silent hours and creat a task that contain : 1. Slient mode on and 2. Send to .. - there's also another methode and it doesn't require any timer.

You will have to creat a new context so you can choose your home ssid it means that you will have 2 profiles : one for the specific ssid and the other for the location-connect

Juice Defender can help you with that :)

hi mate nice thread.i have been using tasker from past week very useful app.I saw a video which showed that when i plug in headphones i can automatically play music using tasker and also install a plugin called media utilites to achieve the same. But for some reason it doesn t seem to work :( i ll list the details what i did

profile>state> hardware> headphones plugged in and in that type: any

task> launch app> play music

task> media utilites> configuration>smart play,play (doesn't work no matter what)

i tried with 3 different players i.e, play music,shuttle and default sammy music player

profile doesn t get activated even though in my notification it shows headphones are connected.

so any help here i am not sure where i am going wrong :( my phone details u can see in my signature

or if u can recommend me a possible workaround i'd appreciate that thank you in advance. if it is already posted please do link me to the same thank you

Have too much free time today xD

http://youtu.be/N-9Jm7MmMDk

to the input tap you need root if you want to use third party app like (launch app->push play(input tapROOT)

or use autoinput from autoapps can find it on market/play store
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] dino_frank:
thanks for all the efforts mate. but its not working as intended :( i still have to manually press play button to play in tasker and stop to stop music play back. i am not sure what i am doing wrong. Followed all your instructions. The profile just doesn t get activated when i plug in headset of mine. Probably its the headset fault. what i mean to say is tasker is not seeing my headset as a headphone/earphones :cyclops:

its sony MDR-V150 .

will try out my skull candy headphones that has a mic probably it will work with that .. not sure. its time for me to sleep so tomorrow i ll let u know what happens
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] KaszasM:
push thank button pls XD

i told you this is the worst way anyway to get that task done... Buy autoinput ~(1euro)from store should work without root and than you can play any player too .... or root and you can use run shell input tap command in tasker too

do you get the flash if you plug in your headsett?<---?its the easiest way to see if a profile or any step in tasks is triggered or not

i tryd its working for me ,but still a wrong way i know from earlier never working god

AND FOR THE THREAD PLEASE USE THE THANKS BUTTON ,even if its not working or you still dont know how to use ,we spend here not less time by try to answer your QUESTIONS ......

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Mooniegt:
Can I use tasker to:

Upon establishing bluetooth connection

Turn off wifi

Turn on hotspot/tethering

Upon losing bluetooth connection

Turn off hotspot/tethering

Turn on wifi

My motivation for doing this is that my car does not stream music via bluetooth, but does do phone calls. I have an old iPhone laying around that I can plug into my car's USB port to do Pandora. Using the iphone via USB, I retain track info display and the ability to skip tracks with the streering wheel buttons. I'd like to be able to get in the car, have my S4 connect to the car's bluetooth, and then automatically turn on tethering so that the iPhone has a data connection for Pandora. Can I do this with Tasker? Do I have to be rooted?

Thanks in advance!

BT Task-Project

Hi guys

Is there somebody which can give me help to create a profile. I`m new in Tasker !

I like to:

When I come to my car that an app start in terms the bluetooth connection is started with my car media system.

Then After I stopped my car the app should close after I turned off my car and the Bluetooth should be turned of automatical deactivate itself after maybe 2 minutes I leave my car .

Will be great if somebody can setup or give me the profile setup for this !

Greez Phil
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] starbuckk:
The problem here is with Bluetooth deactivated what will tell the phone you are near your car?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] PipoXtreme:
Ok. This can be solved when I just switch my phone profile (with BT Activation) to car when I walk to my car or maybe this can be solved with an other project in tasker which will turn on just for 10 sec. every 5 minutes my Bluetooth with my

time-plan during the week from 6 am to 8 am and 4 pm - 8 pm ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] zazazi:
I'm very new to Tasker and need your expert opinion please:

I've a profile to turn on my Wifi and turn off my Bluetooth when at home.....its working however the Bluetooth turns itself on again as soon as its turned off...why? how do I keep it from turning on?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] KarthikRavikumar:
Friends share me your tasker full xml file... If possible... Am new of this so i ask...
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] starbuckk:
What other profiles do you have running? Sounds like another one is kicking in.

With WiFi off how does tasker know you are home?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] zazazi:
GSM cell location data
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] PipoXtreme:
Ok. This can be solved when I just switch my phone profile (with BT Activation) to car when I walk to my car or maybe this can be solved with an other project in tasker, which will turn on just for 10 sec. every 5 minutes my Bluetooth with a time-plan during the week from 6 am to 8 am and 4 pm - 8 pm
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] starbuckk:
So the question remains what is turning the Bluetooth back on. Either something in the task, or another profile activating without you realizing most likely.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] PipoXtreme:
Can be but I think in my case difficult. In my parking at home isn`t gps or lte signal available - then I think something other will be more acceptable ! :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] zazazi:
Have a look at the attached screenshot....its a task: if I'm not connected to my wifi and the wifi is on then the task is to turn wifi off and BT and data on...this wifi stopper profile is available online...I just downloaded it and added in task BT and Data on.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] starbuckk:
Seems like you have too many profiles trying to control the Wi-fi switch and they are stepping on each other. The exit task for that procedure is executing when you are not expecting it, most likely in the time frame between the wifi turning on and it connecting to your wifi network. That exit procedure will kick in as soon as the wifi is turned on and before it has time to make the actual connection.

What you really need I think is to just use an exit procedure to the original task that tests for the GSM tower. When near that tower, turn on wifi and turn off bluetooth. Exit procedure reverses it. The problem is, that profile has a time restriction on it. Seems unnecessary, and will cause the bluetooth to flip on and wifi to flip off at night, since all three conditions are not met.

As an editorial note, I have found that WiFi doesn't really use a lot of juice. I never turn mine off. I use the connection to my home wifi (both by SSID and MAC address) to determine if I am home or not. The cell tower actually covers too wide a range.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] PipoXtreme:
Is here somebody which can look on my xml files where here is the problem about my tasks.. They doesn`t work !

Will be great guys ! What I need you can find here..

here... and here here
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] zazazi:
Thanks very much for your advice....I can now see the conflict and overlap between profiles.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] itesla:
Tasker forgets my changes :( So I made some changes yesterday to update my %MYMODE variable, tested it and was working as desired. Today I noticed it wasn't working as expected so I looked at the task and the changes I made yesterday are gone (back to task from 2 days ago). I have noticed this happens frequently for me when I make changes. Eventually the changes stick but I don't understand why it keeps losing changes I make. I have searched for a fix previously without much luck. Anyone else have this problem, how to fix????
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] dante2000:
Have you thought of using an NFC tag? Or you could switch on your BT at 6 and if not connected by 8.10 switch it off.

You could also use your Home Wifi as a guide. If between 6.00 and 8.10 WiFi disconnected, switch on bluetooth.

My Tasker is not able to read incoming SMS... i have set it to print the content of %SMSRB as a toast (flash) when an incomming message is received. But it doesnt even detect that an sms was received. And %SMSRB is always blank... anybody can help??

Just to test, i have done the following:

New Profile -> event -> Phone Received Text -> any ... and associated it with:

New Task -> Alert -> Flash -> "SMS Received"

It does not work... any ideas why???
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] HITMAN-CREED:
I want to delete telegram image folder directory

because when i use telegram, photos automatically download to that directory and it makes my phone has less free space.

So i want to make a profile, to delete it once a day.

But when i set a profile to delete that directory it says directory is not empty and it doesnt delete the files,

in advance, i want to delete non-empty directory using Tasker,

Can anyone help?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] MXKM:
Thank you.

I guess that this would work :

1. + -> State -> Display -> Display State -> Set to Off

2. New task : Name it 3G-Off -> + -> Mobile Data -> Set to Off

3. Add Exit task -> Name it 3G-On -> + -> Mobile Data -> Set to On

If this didn't worked then you should maybe try this :

Profile is working.

How do I get WiFi to connect to saved networks automatically with screen off? I've tried everything. Only connects as soon as I turn the screen on.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] karate104:
Despite being old, it seemed like this was an appropriate thread to ask this in, rather than starting a new one.

I'm using a SGH-I337 (AT&T-branded S4) on 5.0.1 Lollipop. Can I use Tasker to change a single setting within the stock messaging app? Specifically, I want it to toggle vibrate off under notification settings, when a specific bluetooth device (my brand new semi-smartwatch) is connected; this way, the phone still gets the notification and sounds off when I get a text, but it doesn't vibrate (my watch will do that instead).

I just started using Tasker today btw so I'm a complete noob at this stuff.

Have pretty complicated request.

Need air view self anable on incoming call(even if phone is blocked)

So incoming call>airview turns on and setting for wave phonecall reply turns on> call ends and it all turns back off
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Fruktsallad:
Why not just create a custom variable that gets set every time the phone is on idle. Then create a profile that has the variable + missed call as triggers... I imagine it could work...
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] NinjaOne:
Here's my setup for inspiration... Few of the tasks are complicated to make, but feel free to ask for any of them.

Describing them makes most sense if I describe my typical day.

Waking up in the morning is never the same time for me. I have chosen not to automate changing my night profile to day/home profile. So I do that by either using my NFC tag on the night stand, or by using a widget.

When I walk the dog, Tasker senses that I'm not near my Home wifi... So it changes to my OUT profile where sound is high, GPS is on and wifi is off.

Every 15 minutes it turns on wifi to check where I am. If it is not connected within 15 sekunds it turns off again.

So when I get home, profile changes to home profile again.

Where leaving for work, I get in my car, where my other NFC tag is. I have set that to only turn on bluetooth. I have another task starting when bluetooth is connected to my car, where it starts up my Car Dock app, turns on GPS, and set brightness to Max.

Leaving my car again, it senses that bluetooth is disconnected from the car. This turns on wifi for 5 minutes, letting it find the wifi network at work, where it enters work profile without sound, GPS and wifi.

I have bluetooth setup so if it is not connected for 3 minutes it turns of it self.

Leaving work is the same. NFC in car, leaving turns on wifi letting it know I'm home.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] karimdag:
You know what ? The GS4 is smart enought to be able to manage his own resources by his self, i don't think that it should be automated also Tasker is an battery eater since it start with the system, why we use it ? To automate taskes, why ? Because we're lazy to do the job ourselves. This thread is to be closed, i'll no longer participate here :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] pitastrudl:
Tasker is one of the most useful apps i have ever bought. Why would i bother turning my phone on and change the music, while driving, if i can just wave over the phone and it does that for me!(thanks to tasker). Where do you see the GS4 to be "smart" enough to handle all these things? maybe 1% of the phones "smart" features which barely work, like smart stay,scroll etc. Tasker is a battery eater? lol no. If you know how to use it it will drain little battery, and anyways, the S4 has enough juice to handle that.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] NinjaOne:
Tasker isn't only about turning wifi on and off...

It's about automating your phone... I agree that just leaving wifi, bluetooth etc on wouldn't eat up that much battery.

But muting sound when entering work, start up car app when in car, turn down brightness at night, auto Block calls from Mother in Law and so on and so on.

Thats where the power of this app is. It's only your creativity that sets the limits...

And yes... It's made for lazy People... But so was the wheel...

How can i do it with tasker?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] commandonz:
Tips appreciated

Hi all,

Tasker and XDA newbie here - been a reader for ages, just signed up. I could use some pointers on Tasker with my S4. I'm trying to:

1) Turn GPS and mobile data on once an hour between 8am and 4pm weekdays, do a general sync, and check my email accounts (not gmail, probably Kaiten). If WiFi or mobile data is already on then then don't do it. Flash the LED if there's new email. This is so if I lose my phone I can use Lookout/Cerebus to accurately locate it, as I usually have data turned off, and also just to check email efficiently.

2) Between 10pm and 7am turn the built in SMS app to silent and no vibrate, and only allow phone calls from set people, all other calls others go to voicemail. At 7am it should return to some preset settings.

3) Change my SMS notification tone based on location, using the built in SMS app. I can do the location bit with cell, just not the changing app settings.

Tips appreciated :)
