You can set a time trigger and then as a task, delete directory, under the file section of tasker i think, and set the appropriate directory

Lock / Unlock Tasks

When I first picked up Tasker for my S4 I set up Lock / Unlock profiles when at home or when connected to my car or headset Bluetooth. They work fine, but I would like to still have the option to use facial recognition to unlock when the lock is enabled. At the time, I don't think it could be done. Any one get this to work?

I have 2 issues, one when I try to do a location based profile it never finds my location and two I have a profile that triggers a scene. I want it to trigger when my phone connects to a Bluetooth device but it never fires.

Any suggestions?

I use Tasker to turn my rooted phone into airplane mode at night and set it to silent. In the morning it turns things back on, syncs over wifi, starts a few apps to have them refresh their data, then turns data off. It also turns data off when I leave the house, on when I get home, sets volume levels and tones in different locations, etc.

The things I'd like for it to be able to do are:

- Turn on my S4 alarm clock

- Tell Kaiten email to sync. It'd be better to have Kaiten to have a "sync on startup" function, since I don't want it auto syncing through the day.

Super helpful program, so I donated :)

Tasker S4 issue

Hi, I am a long time tasker user. I just got Galaxy S4 from verizon wireless. Somehow I don't see any settings options in my tasks at all. Simple things like sound setting doesn't show up. when I click on sound settings the screen with actual adjustments shows only 'If' option.

Am I missing something?

Not being able to use tasker on S4 is a reason enough for me to return my S4 back.

Hi sachshah I believe the problem is you are likely clicking on "settings" -> "sound settings" when really you need to click on "audio" to access most audio settings.

tasker + nfc tags

Hey guys,

I'm using tasker for quite a while now and it is making my life much easier :D. Right now I have a new project I mind. So here is the idea. I'm working on a desk most of the time with my phone lying next to me. It is locked with a pin code which gets activated when I leave my home zone. But I'm texting and checking stuff on my phone quite often while I should work.

So my idea is to install two NFC tags right and left of my desk. First one says set password to no password and the second one sets the password back to the pin code. everytime I leave my desk I just dip my phone on the second tag and it is done.

Possible or would this process take too much time? Is a NFC reader compatible with tasker?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Brendo:
I've not used nfc tags, but seen plenty that have. If you are rooted, you can use secure settings app as plugin to disable lockscreen

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 i7310
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] :
I use this sort of thing but in a different way (normally has a password but the tag unlocks it without) what I use is a combination of NFC Task Launcher, Tasker, Secure Settings and the NFC on Lockscreen mod.

NFC Task Launcher reads the tag and then launches the unlock Tasker task which uses secure settings to remove the password, waits 10 seconds, then uses secure settings to set the password back to what it was again.

This doesn't act as you would suspect when it removes the password, it doesn't change it to a regular lock screen it actually unlocks the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] freaky_chemist:
I know. That's what I'm with my wifi at home. But I have no wifi or other reliable source for workplace.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Brendo:
nfc should work fine. alternatively you could try trigger of start/end time on selected day, or nfc unlocks for certain time period (and maybe restart counter each time you turn screen on), cell tower location. just a couple of ideas :)

Hello,

I have been trying out how to turn off my device bluetooth when it is disconnected for 25 seconds. any advice? I am really new to tasker and not really sure what to do.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Brendo:
There are a few ways to do it. Perhaps best would be to use a variable?

If connected to Bluetooth, variable = true

If variable = false, wait 25secs then turn off Bluetooth

Using the variable means that if Bluetooth gets reconnected, it will essentially reset the timer

Has anyone successfully managed to disable their key guard when connected to their home wifi on the s4?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Brendo:
I have mine disabled when connected to car Bluetooth, but I just tested with wifi as trigger and works fine (you need secure settings and maybe root though)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] freaky_chemist:
Yes, but you have to be root on your device to do so. You install the add-on secure settings and will find a bunch of new option in plugin -> secure settings.

Moto X style camera

i've been playing around with the same idea, of creating a moto x style launch for camera.

HOWEVER and this is a big one, i've encountered some problems, i'll list them:

if lockscreen is active, it stays on the lockscreen while the camera is running "behind" it.

in case i set a "keyguard" off setting in "sercure settings" it doesn't turn back on without me telling it so and i'm finding it hard to find the logical trigger for this.

if the screen is off it doesn't work at all.

p.s. if screen is unlocked, there's no point in the "wake device" option since it's already unlocked... (from the tests i've done)

all that said, when screen is on and unlocked it works great but if you have the camera in your bottom apps line, i see no real point in this task/trigger, do you agree?

Tasker is an amazing tool with which you can do some really incredible things but this one stumps me...

i'm running the Phoenix ROM v8.1 on I9500.

any ideas?

thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Ritchiejoe:
I have got mine to work with the following, would you both mind sharing your profiles?

1. Set "Android" lock to "NONE" (IMPORTANT, THE BIT MOST PEOPLE SKIP)

2. Set "Android" lock to your prefered lock type (Pattern/PIN/Password)

3. Setup the below Tasker task (tweek for your requirements)

CONTEXT

1. Wifi Connected "Home"

ENTRY TASK

1. Secure settings -> Wake device -> keyboard/lights 30 seconds

2. Secure settings -> "YourLockType" -> Disable

3. Wait 2 seconds

4. System Lock

EXIT TASK

1. Secure settings -> Wake device -> keyboard/lights 30 seconds

2. Secure settings -> "YourLockType" -> Enable

3. Wait 2 seconds

4. System Lock

Voice Controlled TV Remote

I recently posted a question in Q&A about any TV remote apps that can be voice controlled. No luck. I stumbled upon this tasker plugin by Ozkaya that is awesome. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45572797. It allows you to program your IR remote with Pronto hex codes(many found here http://www.remotecentral.com/ as posted in the Dev's thread).

I combo'd this with Utter! and like magic, I was able to program voice controllable macro's, functions, anything really as long as the hex codes were available. And there is alot of them. I have Verizon Fios and the motorola codes worked for my box even though they weren't the same model. To me, this is an awesome show off tool (and slightly practical if I am eating chicken wings and need to switch between football games!). I literally say "phone" to wake up utter and "channel back" or "ESPN". as a command.

I did nothing here but stumble upon a combo of apps that work great together. If you like the idea please check out the thread and thank the Dev's and support their work. I feel this is one of those gems that slipped back a few pages and got lost. Hope you like it too.

Heres a tweak that will start Tasker only when it is plugged into a power source. Its at the bottom of the page, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34339449

voice command wakeup

Wsup guys. I was googling how to wake up your samsung galaxy s4 by voice command, and saw it said download tasker and autovoice. Downloaded them, but dont know the command. Saw youtube vidoe where someone had the S4 and the phone was in sleep mode and turned on when they said the command. Also thr command wasn't "hello google", and when they were speaking to it, it had hello, and their nome in stead of google now. Does anyone know the command for all of that? I know that's alot. Sorry.

I've used Tasker on 2 tablets and now 3rd phone, the S4.

anyone else having problems with tasker on 4.3???
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] PantsDownJedi:
So far so good for me, but likely we aren't using it for the same things. Perhaps if you were more specific about the profile it task that you have troubles with it would help others respond though it did occur to me that if you did a full wipe , and are like me, you might forget to ebablev admunistrative access again or missed a dialogue to give it root access assuming you use it for root tasks. If you use Secure Settings plugin then that's something I forget to re-enable administrative access and root access on full wipe reinstalls sometimes...

-------------------

-------------------

In regards to some of the early posts in the thread BTW, Secure Settings has a custom ROM feature on the s4 with a few things and in particular toggling of blocking mode. There were some posts that related to this. It may be a 4.3 thing but I'm not sure.

Also, concerning WiFi toggling for location, I find that if I have the option checked for allowing scanning when WiFi is off (low power listen mode essentially), that WiFi near and network based locations aren't needed. It will still find that I'm at home near my WiFi or not. In my case its a screen on event and the task is if %WIFII~*MYSSID* (with this character * needed as a wildcard) then it either enables or disables the pin lick via secure settings but could be used for whatever so long ad the WIFI variable is available..

Those of you using AutoVoice, what are you using for a trigger? In most of the videos I've seen, the user either presses and holds the home button or presses and slides up. I haven't been able to get mine to do either. I don't want to use continuous due to the battery drain.

I also have AutoVoice on my Galaxy Gear running Nova Launcher and with that, I was able to place a shortcut on the desktop but with the stock TouchWiz all I can add are apps or widgets.

Can Tasker launch a multi-task window on a SG4?

Can Tasker launch a multi-task window on a SG4?

I would love to launch my multi-task window and open 2 apps in it using tasker on my SG4.

Has anyone been able to do this or seen any threads that might have some relevant info as to how I might accomplish this?

Additional info:

As part of my “Driving Mode” task automation I would love to open both Waze and Escort live in split screen when I doc my phone. I currently have everything working as needed with a NFC tag except I don’t know how to open the 2 apps in split screen mode. It currently launches them separately which requires you to toggle back and forth between the two which isn’t the best practice when driving.

If tasker can’t access the multi window are there any apps or programs out there that can record your phones keystrokes/gestures that one could use to create a macro to do this?
