Many devices don't let you use Tasker's native Wifi Teather ON/OFF feature; including mine (Samsung Note on Verizon). The good news if you can still reliably and automatically turn on/off wifi hotspot without root. However, it requires the Tasker AutoInput plugin to emulate clicking on the Wifi toggle button. You can search for how to do this on Reddit's Tasker forum.

Below, is a link to the tasker task I use to enable my wifi hotspot reliably. It also waits for an Internet connection before trying to run the task. This should give a good idea what to do when making your task. You can import this directly into your Tasker app. You can remove the actions you don't need.

Enable Mobile HotSpot

Disable Mobile Hotspot
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
Why did you quote me? I absolutely don't have problems. And as I indicated earlier, the tasker toggle works fine in my device.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] rubberchickenmob:
I just installed Autoinput and tried importing the 2 tasks. I added the "enable mobile hotspot" as my enter task and "disable mobile hotspot" as my exit task. When I connect to the assigned Bluetooth this auto expands my notification. Then I get a notification requesting for a Google API key. No clue what that is so I searched and was able to obtain one from https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials........ After plugging in the key and rerunning the task it expands my notification. This time I get a notification that says "Autoinput action error action timed out".

I looked at your 2 tasks briefly and it's a bit over my head. I can see that step 14 "Auto input action" searches for a Text with the value Hotspot to Click however I don't think the Hotspot text appears until a second notification pull down expansion. Do I need to modify step 13 "Status Bar Set Expanded" so that it expands twice? I get the following error,

19.23.46/ActionArgBundle key: NearbyText: replace <null> String value with null

19.23.46/ActionArgBundle key: TextToWrite: replace <null> String value with null

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] mkanet:
Looks like you're almost there. The Google APi key is used for Tasker's wavenet voice to say "HotStpot actived /deactivated"

AutoInput looks for the text "Hotspot" in the notifications Hotspot toggle button (see below picture). Maybe the text for your button is different? Maybe test AutoInput to do something else so you get the hang of it.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] rubberchickenmob:
On the Pixel 3xl the hotspot doesn't have text on the first notification expansion only in the second notification expansion. I changed the Auto input action to a point value which isn't the most ideal but now passes step 14. However, now I get an error on the steps for the voices. I just deleted all steps after step 18 and the profile now works. Seems like there is a lot that I still need to learn. Thanks for your help on this.

Also, out of curiosity, what's the purpose of step 3 for pinging google.com?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] mkanet:
Actually, my Samsung Note 9 looks like that too when the notifications is not fully expanded. I kind of just shrugged it off. Im guessing AutoInput can still click the button even when ithe notifications is not fully expanded. However that would not explain why your AutoInput click action times out.

The enable Hotspot task first checks for an Internet connection (pinging google.com) before enabling the Hotspot. The place where I park doesn't have internet access underground. So it turns on the Hotspot as soons as it it detects an Internet connection (instead of the task erroring out due to no Internet).

Youre welcome.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Lenster45:
LG V30. I had this working perfectly on Oreo 8.0. I have upgraded to Pie.

If I toggle Hotspot through the quick settings, Tethering is turned on and Wifi is turned off.

When I run the Tasker Tethering on task, Tethering is turned on but Wifi is not turned off.

I had to add a second step under Tethering ON to turn Wifi Off.

Has anyone gotten this to work on an unrooted Pixel 3(XL)?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Bueb:
bluetooth activated by tasker is not working on android 9, because tasker ask you always if you want enable or disable bluetooth by tasker. tasker get all permission but he will ask again again and again. how can we solved this problem with bluetooth on android 9 ?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
What device? Some, I think with MUI or OOS ROMs generate these confirmation screens. Tasker is a victim, not a cause.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Bueb:
Huawei Mate 20 Pro - Stock
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
This is one of the devices where the OS presents a pop-up confirmation like you describe. AFAIK, the only way around this is with simulated taps. Either to clear the pop-up, or to initially turn on BT, mimicking the way a user does it.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Gibrone:
I have a dashcam with automatic event upload. I'd like my phone (vanilla Pixel 4 XL) to enable its hotspot whenever I get in the truck but I'm seeing others are having trouble with newer android versions. Can somebody point me in the right direction on how to enable this when I connect to my truck's bluetooth? I purchased the Tasker app but I'm not having much luck understanding it. :eek:. If there's a more user friendly option, I don't mind purchasing another app, this one has consumed me for 2 days with no success.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
Most devices with problems are probably not rooted which leaves simulating taps to automate the process. AutoInput, a Tasker plugin, makes this somewhat easier if necessary.

Does manually toggling the hotspot work on your 4? This is a must since if you can't do it manually, Tasker can't either.

Is your device rooted?

How do you plan to "indicate" to tasker it's time to turn on the hotspot? A NFC tag? Proximity to a specific BT device? Tap a shortcut? Something else?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Gibrone:
Yes, hotspot can be turned on manually. I plan to have it turn on whenever it either sees or connects to the truck's bluetooth. I haven't rooted it, being a new phone has me paranoid to mess with it yet but I've seen it can be done pretty easily. I really want to get this to work so I'll probably just do it.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
I'm posting this from a Pixel 3XL, though I'm still on Pie. Toggling hotspot with root is very reliable for me, so I would expect it to be for you as well.

Post back if you need more help either to implement simulated touches or after rooting.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Bueb:
Thanks, i set Bluetooth always on
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Gibrone:
I may give AutoInput a try, I want to avoid rooting if possible so I can leave auto updates on without worry.

In the tasker app, everything seems like it should work. I followed a video tutorial, I set state->BT connected to my truck->wifi tether, then another that's cloned/inverted with tether off. It seems straight forward so the troubles may be the phone and not (hopefully) me. I appreciate your help.

I pay $15/mo for unlimited wifi in my truck. My phone plan has unlimited hotspot, first 15gb @ LTE which is plenty. I'm throwing $ away on a second data service for my dashcam's cloud connection.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] wedenj:
Anyone?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
Ask in the device Q/A forum. There is not as much visibility here as there. While I have Pixel 3XL, it's rooted.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] wedenj:
Thanks for the reply. It has been a few years since I have rooted a phone. Are there downsides to rooting, like OTA updates? Getting Tasker to work would be the only reason I'd be rooting.

Thanks!
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
This is getting off topic for this forum...

I don't take OTAs, I Fastboot flash updates. Aside from Tasker, my first root app installed is ACC. Aside from helping prolong battery life, for the pixel devices, you can enable fast wireless charging on 3rd party chargers.

[Moto 360] Jords21:
Hey guys

I just bought a Moto 360 and so far everything is working great except for the microphone.

When I use an app like google translate or try voice commands nothing happens. The microphone icon starts pulsating very fast ( the grey circle around the icon ) and completely ignores me. The weird thing is that " Ok google " does work but this opens the assistant on my phone.

I've tried:

- Resetting the watch ( multiple times )

- Fresh install of Android on my phone, I went from 7.1 to 6.0.1 and back.

- Deleting android wear and reinstalling it.

- Clearing the cache and Dalvik cache.

- Pairing the watch with another phone.

- Changing the language of the phone and the watch.

- Switching from Google assistant to Google now.

Any help would be appreciated.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mishumashu:
Hi everyone,

Yesterday night my battery unexpectedly drained out (maybe automatic update but cant be sure).

Since then, all of my apps, especially sense home and Chrome, keep crashing ("Unforunatley, <app> has stopped" message) .

steps I've tried:

- Resetting the device

- Disabling all but the essential processes

- Running on safe mode

- Factory Reset (Twice!)

- Wiping cash

- Using RUU EXE (obviously didnt fit my device as its all US RUUs in HTC.com)

Also, after wiping the device, im getting the Software Update prompt for Sense & a patch (fixes a bug in prep for the new software version 4.28.401.3) but both fail during installation.

Even in the rare occasion where i can move on to the 4.28.401.3 installation, the device reaches 25% and then gets to the red exclamation mark (followed by a hard reboot).

Device specs & info:

HTC M9 (unbranded) bought in the middle east

Android version 6.0

Sense Ver 7.0

Software ver : 3.35.401.32

Baseband : U11440792_97

S-On, locked, didnt change anything in that area.

Please help, I have resorted to using an old iphone I had lying around in the house, it doesnt get much worse than that :crying:a
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
Please read the ReadMe thread and try the correct RUU for your phone. You might want to take a look at the FAQ and get some information about the dead nand issue, as well, since you might be suffering from it.

However, it's impossible that your phone offers you an update to 4.28.401.3 if you're really running 3.35.401.32, at the moment, since OTAs are incremental and you would need to update to 4.14.401.7, first.

been looking for this - not sure if it exist for Kaiser, it used to exist for other smartphones...just can't remember what it was called;

It's basically a replacement for the on screen keyboard - when you select the keyboard you get a transparent keyboard that fills the whole screen, so makes it easier to type with - and ya don't have to use a pointer or the keyboard itself...handy for one hand action.

Any thoughts if there is anything like that around now and what it's called, or if it's in a cab?

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] popdog54:
I have a Holux 1200 GPS receiver which worked great with previous ROMs. The internal GPS works fine with 3.16, but sometimes it just takes too long to connect to any satellites using Google Maps or WLS. I've tried several of the Launchers with the same results. So I tried to connect with my Holux 1200 but ran into a problem. It paired up fine with my Mogul. I set the outgoing COM port to 0. But when I try to set the GPS hardware port to 0 it won't stick. It keeps reverting back to the default which is none. I tried everything I could think of. I even searched for a reg entry for the hardware port but couldn't find any.

A few other people have told me that they also cannot get the GPS hardware port setting to stick. Has anyone with the 3.16 ROM been able to use an external receiver? Can anyone who installed the new ROM check to see if they can change the hardware port setting...

Anyone with the new ROM can check, you don't need to have a GPS receiver. I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I purchased an unlocked Moto G5 Plus (XT1687). It was supposed to support sprint. I took it to a sprint store and they told me the phone was not supported. They wouldn't pop in a sim card to verify (just typed the IMEI into their system and reported the results).

Anyone have any advice?

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] esoh:
Just tell them that you want a nano SIM. They might not be familiar with the phone which is why they say it won't work. You can also tell them that it's the same SIM used in the Nexus 6P, which they probably have activated.

You can also refer them to this link.

https://www.sprint.com/en/landings/bring-your-own-phone.html

If you click on the first question in the FAQ (How do I know my device is eligble?), it lists the BYOD phones, which included the phone. Good luck.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] artician:
I went to a third Sprint store today, where the employees hemmed and hawed for about 30 minute before finally telling me they just didn't have any of that kind of sim card in stock. They tried to sell me another phone twice. I got the impression (again), that something else was going on.

I went to Best Buy, where they had the sim in stock, but were prevented from accessing my account by the system. I imagine this is because I have a SERO account, so things are starting to fall into place now.

I may try to buy the sim and have them connect it through Sprint support, but this entire adventure has encompassed more than 200 hours of my time, multiple phones, and over $300 to date. Some of that is my fault because I didn't properly research the phones that they would support, and I would be able to root. I didn't pick up the sim today due to fear of investing even more money in this.
