Here are my questions from the edited post:

This is what I have so far:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ryanw5489:
I would make it *CONNECTION* in caps.

It should look like this. Instead of the time to start the task. Change it to display state on,
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mekanikz:
This seems to have solved the problem. Thanks a bunch. :)

Edit: Would you happen to know the If variable for Mobile Data on/off/connection?

Try moble data on

Anyone know what the hell is wrong with my Tasker? After every action it immediately undoes what it was set up to do. For example if it's supposed to turn on data, it will for like 5 seconds then immediately turn it off. Same with GPS, WiFi, Location Access, etc. This is for all profiles. I've tried disabling and enabling every profile thinking maybe one is the cause of it with no luck. I also removed exit tasks for particular ones and didn't find anything. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Tasker with no luck. I've attached the profile backups to this post if anyone wants to take a look.

Note: I am using Tasker along with the Secure Settings plugin (only GPS and location toggles are enabled). I'm also on 4.3 using Tasker 4.1u3.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gator Brah:
Do you have the "restore settings" option checked in the profile?

Only thing i can think of that may do that

Can't get past the Swipe to Unlock screen

I haven't seen any posts that directly address my question - which is how to actually have the phone wake and open to a Home Screen bypassing the Swipe to UnLock screen. I'm trying Tasker 1.6u2m on several rooted phones running either Gingerbread or CM9 ICS. (They are all old inexpensive phones like the HTC Evo or Samsung Galaxy S1 Epic 4G).

The issue is that a photo taken with the stock camera via Tasker gets copied to the cloud in a rotated** orientation

unless

the screen is on and the phone is unlocked (when the photo is taken). For this example there's no PIN or Pattern on the lockscreen. But the most Tasker (with Secure Settings) can do is turn on the screen. I did a task that said Enable KeyGuard/Disable KeyGuard/Screen On/Go to Home (page 1).

The Profile runs on Display On. But all I get is the Lock Screen. When I swipe to unlock it then goes to Home (page 1) This has been consistent across the different phones. It may take a 3rd party app or flashed solution to eliminate the Swipe to Unlock screen from the OS but I wanted to ask here... seems like a simple thing, but its not I guess...

Any ideas?

** The pictures are too large to have Tasker rotate them in avail memory.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bassilap:
Nope. But this also doesn't work anymore because SnapChat has started encrypting the files. So I guess it technically still works, but you'll need to decrypt the image file.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fubaya:
Anybody using this location widget how-to from lifehacker? You tap the widget, it turns on GPS and records your position in a variable. Tap another widget and it maps that variable.

I'm having trouble because I leave GPS off all the time so when it sets the location it is using an old location from the last time GPS was turned on. What I'd like to do is turn on GPS and have it wait to record my position until it gets an accurate fix, but I can't figure out if it's possible.

I've tried a one minute wait but it's still only works half the time. I'm not sure why because when I open maps, it shows my location accurately within seconds. I could do a two minute wait, but 1 minute already takes away some of the usefulness of these widgets. I also tried "wait until" and using "%LOA < 50". In theory, I think this should wait until my location accuracy was 50 meters or better. It seems to work if my last GPS reading was wider than 50 meters, but it still uses my location from the last time GPS was on if the old position was better than 50m.

Does anyone know a way to turn on GPS and get an accurate fix without adding more wait time?

I have that problem with the Navigation app too. What I did was add a two second wait after turning GPS on, then opening the app. So the setup is:

turn GPS on

wait 2 seconds (the wait can be found under "Tasker" then "Wait")

open navigation

It may work with one second or even less, but I just left it after finding that 2 seconds worked. All my other apps work fine without a wait. There must be some oddity to the way Navigation loads that makes do that.

I used my headset to demonstration how it connects to my car stereo, but it was already paired but not connected. My stereo and my headset auto connect when Bluetooth is on.

From what I experience my Nexus One auto connect to my headset, but when I'm is my car the stereo is the one connecting to ny Nexus One.

Time-lapse recording

On the home page of Tasker it mentions time-lapse recording. I was wondering if anyone has the instructions for doing this or can think of a way. I'm not sure when you get into the realms of intents and things
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kornball:
I just found this app. It looks really helpful! Is there a way to enable '2g only' when wifi is enabled? In my apartment, the 3g signal is weak, so it's constantly flipping between 3g and EDGE. When in wifi range, I'd rather the phone just stay in EDGE. Is this attainable with Tasker?

Anyone have Tasker sending an email?

I know you can compose one, and I think from reading the boards that its unable due to an android security thing, but I know other apps can do it.

I am looking at the locale email plugin - curious if anyone's tried - otherwise maybe I'll just buy and see.

Similarly is there a list of supported locale plugins?

Step-by-step profile creation

I really appreciate the posts showing what people have achieved with Tasker....

.....but it would be so much more helpful if the posts included step-by step guides on how the profiles\tasks etc were created.

This would help others to better understand how tasker works, and experiment\create and adapt profiles.

Once again, thanks for the all the tasker posts \ idea's etc.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] strictlyrude27:
Do you mean what buttons to push individually? Stuff is easy once you figure out the user interface.

Check out http://tasker.wikidot.com/step-throughs for some step-by-step guides. Once you get the basics, putting together any profile you see here should be a snap.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Vypre:
Ok tasker has been melting my brain a little bit

On the exit task for Profile 1, how d you actually enter:Wait 2 seconds [If Not Set %WAIT]?

i found how to add the wait 2 seconds, but not clear on how to setup the if statement. I clicked the check box for if, but don't really get the formatting of the two fields and the connector....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dweebuk:
I think you need to do this:

If you click the '+' then select 'Tasker'. Click Wait and increase the seconds to 2. Scroll down to if and 'tick' it. enter wait next to the%. Click on the '~' and scroll down to 'Isn't set'. Click done.

I am just trying to program this into Tasker and am a noob so apologies if it doesn't work.

Daz:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
Tasker does not currently have the ability to force a GPS update except via context. So if Tasker is not getting a GPS update, something else must. I too looked at that Lifehacker and thought about correcting them on it, as it simply would not ever work unless you're actively using the GPS otherwise. IE: If you're running Google Maps/Nav/Whatever, yes it will work. Otherwise as you note, it simply refers to the last known coordinates.

I have requested the Tasker dev add a few GPS related items, I hope he gets to them soon... GPS Age, speed, heading, altitude, and a task action to get a fix. This will solve a LOT of the shortcomings in Tasker directly related to GPS data.

That said, I have Tasker doing two GPS related things for me.. Every 10m it fires off a GPS context that "always matches" (999km around my home) and when it runs it uploads data to my TrackMe database (web app written for a Windows Mobile tracking application). Also I have an active tracking program which uploads data to TrackMe every N seconds, however this has the same caveat as listed above; I have to run Google Maps, etc.. Typically I'm running Waze so it's not an issue.

And of course I use it for work/home/night profiles, speakerphone on face-down while on call (sorta iffy though), several other things.. I did also have it alerting me periodically when I missed a call/sms/email/voice mail, which worked, but I found annoying to have to clear the notification as I often get an email and then read it in my browser in webmail.. Just me though, it otherwise worked great.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fubaya:
Ah, that makes sense. I hope he does get around to adding it sometime. As a workaround, I guess I could look for a small app that can run in the background, like a statusbar compass or some kind of widget or something, that uses GPS and launch it at the same time, forcing it to update the location.

I've also set up this profile and it's worked every time I tried it. All it does is, when I get an SMS with a certain codeword, it turns on GPS and waits (I used 2 minutes instead of 1), then replies to the SMS with my location. Is it reliable? It seems like it would suffer the same problem.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] wangjt:
Those are just variables.

Think of it like this...

HTTPD222 -> x

HTTPD2222 -> y

HTTPD22222 -> z

where x = something, y = something, z = something.

Because of the way split works when it divides something, it adds a 1, 2, 3... etc at the end.

Using tasker's example, if you have the string of variable HTTPD2= "I;like;humus" and you split on the semicolon,

you'll have

HTTPD21= I

HTTPD22 = like

HTTPD23 = humus

So all his script is doing is dividing the HTTPD text into smaller piece of text until he is able to get what he wants. In his case, he is splitting on the tags from the XLM code that's returned.

I'll can clean this up when I get home so it's easier to understand by making extra variables to hold data. Nothing wrong with the code that he has, but like all programming, if you have confusing variable names, it'll be harder to figure out what's going on.

BTW, thanks for this idea Quistnix. Hopefully I'll be able to figure out your problem with it as well.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dweebuk:
Hi

I have been having some problems with this script.

When I run it it actually says the variable names and not the values.

It would be great if you could clean it up so I could make better sense of it :)

I am just learning tasker but am thoroughly impresed with it, the best app I have purchased to date.

Thanks

Darren.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] wangjt:
That means your variables were never initialized. I'll try to help if you post what you did.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] wangjt:
Okay so I've modified Quistnix's task. Rather than explain what happens step by step, I've attached it as a file so that you can import it directly into tasker.

Few things to note:

1) You will need to get your own key from the web site and replace the XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX field in the get HTTPD action with your key. This will not work if you don't do this step.

Go to www(dot)worldweatheronline(dot)com and register for an API key. It's free.

2) This currently reads temps in F and windspeed in Miles.

If you want it in C or km instead , go to the split actions and change the splits from:

temp_F> to temp_C>,

or

windspeedMiles> to windspeedKmph>

(CASE SENSITIVE)

You also will need need to modify the "SAY" step accordingly.

3) Since it's 24 steps, it will take about 15 to 20 seconds to process. Be patient.

4) Currently, the clear variable step at the end will globally wipe out all variables in tasker. This isn't ideal as it could affect other profiles that use variables. I'm lazy to add actions one by one to remove only the variables I've used in this profile so I leave this step to you. =)

I have tested it and it works as long as the worldweatheronline website is working. It is down at the moment for whatever reason but this profile did fetch and parse all data correctly during the time when it worked.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fubaya:
I haven't followed what you guys are doing closely, but it seems like pre-downloading the data might be a useful idea. I didn't want to wait and I wanted to use weather from a different source so I wrote a short script to grab it from the site I wanted, format it into the sentence that I wanted read, then put it in a file on the scdard. Then I set up Tasker to run the script every hour using the "Locale Execute Plugin" and set up a widget to read it. I think it could be done the way you guys are doing it without using a script, I just use it to customize the weather data.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dweebuk:
Hi WangJT

Thanks for your help with this script. I am still having the same problem.

I have deleted my script now and imported your profile, but I am still having the same problem :( The voice output says everything is parse21.

Hope you can help further, it is appreciated!

Thanks

Darren.

edit: I have just realised my error - I forgot the key! It's now working perfectly! I will now try and work out exactly what the script is doing and where I went wrong!

Location context problem

I'm trying to set Tasker up to give me an "office" profile. GPS, Wifi off, Vibrate on when I get to work. I've tried doing it by GPS, but once I get into the office and can't get a good GPS lock, it seems to "forget" that I'm at this location and turn the profile off.

I've also tried Wifi near, but we don't have a wifi signal in our building. The neighbors' signal isn't strong enough to keep me consistently in the profile either. It finds the signal intermittently and then loses it, causing it to go in and out of the profile.

So, is there a way to set it up by time? I'd like it to make sure that I'm at work with some sort of location tracking, but also be tied in to time of day. Like can I set it to set that profile when i get to the right location, and then not exit that profile until a certain time of day? That would be ideal. I guess failing that, I can just set the work profile for 8-5 M-F, but it's much less specific.

Since I'm asking, I also wanted it to send my wife a text when I leave my office profile "Heading home" But yesterday she got about ten texts saying that as it was bouncing in and out of the profile. Pretty annoying! Any way to fix that part of it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fubaya:
I may have found a solution on Android Forums. In short, you set up a GPS based profile and disable it, then call it from the task where you want to get the location. The profile does nothing, but it causes Tasker to update the location when it's enabled. It seems to have worked, but since I can't clear the %LOC, I won't know until I go somewhere tomorrow.

Need Help - WhatsAPP

Hi,

I have unusual request and wondering if it is even possible. I would like Tasker to send a notification via PushBullet when a certain contact is online in WhatsApp. Is this even possible? or send the last seen time of a contact via pushbullet at regular interval.

Thanks,
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bassilap:
Not necessarily. You can find a way to decrypt them using google. OR you could just use this app: https://github.com/pato/snapsaver. It's open source. It pulls pics out of the cache and isn't detected by snapchat. I'm pretty sure you need root though.

Hii all ! I want to greenify whatsapp when there is not internet connection or wifi connected and wake up when my cell connect to any of that network but dnt know hot to do that with tasker !! Any help will be appreciated !! :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] taufiqs:
1. create new profile

2. add contexts:

a. State -> Net -> Mobile Network (check all the network modes and dont forget to check INVERT <--- for no internet connection condition as per your request)

b. State -> Wifi connected (fill in your wifi configuration)

3. Enter Task:

a. Plugin --> Hibernate Now --> select whatsapp

4. Add Exit Task (by hold pressing on the ENTER TASK created back then until Task Menu shows up)

a. Wait --> Put 1 minutes or anything suitable to you (in order to prevent hibernate and wake up repeated in close time)

b. Plugin --> Wake Up --> select whatsapp

5. enjoy!

Since I'm a poweruser of Android, regular Android backups are a fact. Seeing the possibility to automate the process gave me goosebumps... :)

I use Flash fire and Titanium Backup on my device, so I need to ask if this could be made to work with one of these (preferably Flashforward) apps?

You're welcome to move this to a better fitting thread. TSKR profile request

How could a Tasker profile convert Messenger texts to the same time in a different time zone or scheduled automatically from a context such as online/offline and location of message recipient?

For example, I have a friend on the exact opposite time zone who prefers I text him at 8 pm, but it is not convenient for me to text him at MY 8 am.

Also, I want to make the profile able to recognize who the sender is and be configurable by convenient time of a user regardless of time zone, and only activate based on time zone when the need arises (i.e. it recognizes the time zone of the person you're messaging.

I know this must require root or at least plugins, possibly Xposed. I am hoping to avoid rooting, but if I have to for this I will.

I don't have a lot of time to tinker with system settings or learn Tasker, and I am asking for help because I am in college and it would help me to reduce daily screen time and focus on education.

I also know this may not be possible, but I believe that the part about scheduling is possible, so if no one knows of a way to "convert" time zones, does anyone know how to schedule messenger texts in a way that they automatically send at a certain time based on different contacts? I use "Messages" (the stock app) for SMS, and I am hoping to achieve this profile for both stock and FB messenger. Any advice is appreciated. Try to explain in the most simple terms since i am very new to tasker and do not understand its "language" fluently. Thank you for any help, hope this question makes sense
