I'm at a lose. Could someone show me how to split the above so I can get the street name (E Broadway St) to show in a text?

I want to add the street name to my auto reply while driving profile. So it will say "Hi {callers name}, I'm driving {speed} mph down {street}. Will reply when able."

I was able to get it down to City from another profile I cannibalized, but none I have found does street.

Auto Respond to SMS with a Glympse

Hey guys. I am trying to figure out how I would use Tasker to respond to an SMS with a keyword in it with a Glympse. For example, If someone sent an SMS that contained "where are you?", tasker would send a reply back with a Glympse that the sender could view. I have added a favourite Glympse which checks in at my current location and sends it to the clipboard, and created a shortcut on my Homescreen to the favourite hoping that I would be able to get Tasker to open the shortcut but had no luck with that. The only other way I can think of would be to use an Intent but I have no experience so do not even know how to find out what Intent I would have to use:confused:. Any help would be appreciated.

1. Toggle GPS

2. Toggle data sync?

If yes, please share your knowledge.

Thanks.

Possibly the BEST setup ever???

I've setup my phone with the most awesome setup I think there is - just goes to show - keep it simple!

Whenever I need to go to the boy's room, I turn my phone upside down and put it in my pocket.

Conditions:

Monday-Friday, between 6am-3PM - Check.

Phone orientation - upside down - Check

Silence Ringer & Load Bubble Blast 2

:-)

Simple, yet when I'm ready to begin my business, my game is already loaded :)

I have a problem with a profile if you guys can help me. I set the profile when I'm connected to a specified wireless network the keyguard is set to off. I've done that using Secure Settings. The problem is that is not always working. I mean after a period of time, or after using the phone in some apps the keyguard is on again.

The profile is set like this :

Task : 1. Wait 200 miliseconds

2. Secure Settings Keyguard disabled

Exit Task : 1. Wait 30 seconds

2. Secure Setting Keyguard enabled

Can someone help me? Thank you!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] reider123:
thanks!

I can't appreciate much:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] steve austin:
hope this helps

It is generally agreed that this program is not he easiest to absorb or get to function right so when you do get something to work DETAILS would be greatly appreciated. with that said let me try to assist you:

1. get secure settings from the market

2. (under "options")all its functions are not available when you download it.

3. You have to go to "helper" and instal it.

4. Go to Tasker

"+" > click check mark (you can add the name later) > choose app (in this case I chose "Maps") > new task > click check mark > "+" > Plug in > Secure Settings > Configuration (click "edit") > (provided that your "helper" status in secure settings is active) Scroll down to "helper actions" > GPS > the next screen will bring you to an "on", "off" "toggle" screen with a memory card,, red X snf "?" at the bottom > press the memory card > (secure settings prompt comes back up) Click green check mark > task/ anonymous prompt comes back up) click green check mark > done.

The good news is that this actually will foce GPS in MAps, Navigation or whatever else you want. The bad news is that from my experience the GPS stays on even after you leave the app :mad:. I found that the GPS symbol will leave the notification bar but in your quick settings GPS is still on. *** Trying to find the magic bullet for this to cut off now. I hope this helped.

*** if someone has figured this out could you list the steps in which you got it to work. thanks in advance.

2G / 3G Toggle

Just read the entire thread, I'm wowed by many ideas and how they were executed. As many, I just took the plunge to Tasker today and I can't seem to find a way to get Tasker to do what I originally bought it for: Toggle between 2G (EDGE) and 3G (UMTS/H+).

I want two profiles that will benefit from 2G toggling;

- connected to my home's WiFi network.

- low battery (many tweaks, among them going into 2G)

I tried setting up the profile to detected when I'm home:

New Profile "@Home" > Phone > Cell Near

New Task > "WiFi On" > Net > WiFi > On

"+" > Net > Mobile Data 2G/3G

but this last option has an *; "*Mobile Data 2G/3G" and Tasker says "Sorry, this action is unavailable on this device"

I have a Galaxy Note, recently updated to ICS with the Stock ROM, rooted and I've set Tasker as an Administrator. I have the latest version of Tasker from Google Play; 1.2.1u1m

Is there a work around? Do I need to purchase APNdroid, or is there a star-hash (*#) code I can dial to toggle between 2G and 3G?

much appreciated

-------EDIT----------

So I found these codes in the Easter Egg thread.

Went through them, and so far I've found these possible results:

#*2527# = GPRS switching set to (Class 4, 8, 9, 10)

#*3476# = EGSM Activate/Deactivate

#*3273# = EGPRS multislot. (Class 4, 8, 9, 10)

*#301279# HSDPA/HSUPA Control Menu

tried this last one and it didn't work.

Battery savings with Tasker?

I recently downloaded the free version of Juice Defender.

So far I get the impression I am getting better life out of my Galaxy Note with ICS (German LPY on Mexican Network).

One of the features I liked most from JD that seems to give the battery a real break is turning off Mobile Data while the screen is off.

I'm not exactly sure how it works but, but I can still receive notifications from different online apps (Twitter, gReader, Facebook, Exchange accounts, etc).

I'm assuming JD turns off mobile data, wakes it up every X minutes, does a quick survey and turns mobile data off again.

I want to replicate this behavior through Tasker;

The first part is easy;

Profile "No display, No data"

Event > Display Off > Create New Task

New Task > "Minimum Consumption"

Net > Mobile Data > Off

The problem is, this will permanently shut down data connection, and background services will not receive updates (Twitter, gReader, Facebook, Exchange accounts, etc).

I would like to add an interval for every X minutes to wake up data services, call exchange (which is the only one I really care about), and regardless of new emails or not, shut down after sync is complete.

Is this possible?

Would it be easier to just keep JD installed?

Any suggestions are welcome.

Its a little daunting setting it up if you aren't familiar with tasker but it works perfectly on my phone. If you need help just post there. I have paid version of JD and I uninstalled it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Hobbes2099:
I would consider myself in the lower bracket of Tasker user; I look around for certain scrips and try to learn from them.

The post you recommend and the one linked within (CUP guide) seem extremely thorough and I'll give them a try when I get home.

QQ; the CPU guide require a kernel that allows CPU management. Is this something I could safely implement on the stock ICS ROM (German LPY)? Are custom kernels allowed only on custom ROMs such as CM9 and MIUI?

Could you, please, help me make Tasker send an SMS to the caller when the phone is face down? What I need is the following. I would like Tasker to send the caller an SMS when two conditions are true at the same time: 1. There is an incoming call from a cellular number 2. The phone is lying with the screen down (either it's already face down when a call is received or it's put face down during a call). How can I do that? Thank you in advance.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] winbytrick:
it's pretty easy, please follow below step:

Create a new profiles: named "ur friend call" or anything

Add State -> Phone -> Incoming call then choose your friend's mobile -> ok

Create a new task: name it yourself

Add phone -> End call -> ok

Add phone -> Send sms -> add your friend number and message to be sent -> ok

back to profiles tab:

Long click on "ur friend call" profile to add 1 more condition

Add state -> sensor -> orientation -> face down -> ok

That's how it works. I also created a profile that if someone fail loggin to my phone XX times, it will capture the guy's pic and send to my email. It's pretty awesome :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] t00dy:
can you please explain how you did this? I'm guessing you used secure settings for failed login attempts right?

how did you make tasker to send the taken picture via email? please share your setup ;)

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mtwtfss:
I have an idea but don't know how to do it.

The phone can be awaked by lots ways, includes power button, vol up/down button or a tool called PGM2.

How do I know which of above events awakes the phone?

If the phone is awaked by power button or vol button => show lock screen provided by Tasker. Forbid someone else use my phone.

If the phone is awaked by PGM2 => no lock screen because I don't want to enter password every time.

Any ideas? thanks a lot.

GPS Shutoff delay

I'm sure I'm not the only one who wanted a solution to this- You have a task set up to enable GPS when entering Navigation, Maps, etc but if you set up the exit task to disable the GPS, Tasker cannot tell if the app has been fully exited or just sent to the background (i.e. you are using navigation in the car when a call comes in. Navi goes to the background, therefore GPS is cut off. After the phone call you must manually re-enable the GPS to continue using the app) Here's my solution, and I'd appreciate any constructive criticism if I've missed something- I'm still a Tasker Noob.

GPS Navigation setup -

Task: 1. Secure Settings >Configuration > GPS Enable

2. Wait > 50 MS

3. Load App > Navigation

Create widget on homescreen to direct link to task. This takes care of the error when entering Navigation when GPS is not enabled on startup.

The above setup is found on the Tasker Wiki Step-through Guide, though I have altered it a bit for my purposes.

The origional is found here: http://tasker.wikidot.com/navigationgps

Variable Setup: Create a variable- something like %GPSACTV

Profile Setup:

Profile #1: GPS Apps:

Context: Appliation > Any and all apps you need to use with GPS - Navigation, Maps, Endomondo, etc

Task: 1. Variable Set > %GPSACTV to ON

Exit Task: 1. Variable Set > %GPSACTV to OFF

Profile #2: GPS Off

Context: Variable Value > %GPSACTV, Matches, OFF

Task: 1. Wait > 3 Minutes

2. IF - %GPSACTV ~ OFF

3. Secure Settings > Configuration > GPS Disabled

4. End IF

*No Exit Task*

Profile #3: GPSACTV ON

Context: Variable Value > %GPSACTV, Matches, ON

Task: 1. Secure Settings > Configuration > GPS Enabled

*No Exit Task*

Now, assuming that I have this correct, this will enable GPS in the designated apps, and will allow the app to run in the background for three minutes before disabling the GPS. This would be enought time for a short phone call or to start up your music. Bringing the app to the foreground will reset the variable and keep the GPS working.

Let me know what you think! Thanks!

Just what I needed. Could you attach here... For the lazy :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] winbytrick:
Thanks toody for your reminder, I lost track of tasker thread for awhile. Some friends of mine think this setting is useless; gladly there are some guys like my stuffs :o

Here go the profile/ task setting:

You need to install Secure Settings from Google Play, once open it, slide to tab "Helper" and install Secure Setting Helper from there (this is activate all functions of Secure Settings included Failed Login Attempts"

Install SL4A from Google Play, open it -> click on menu -> Add -> Python 2.6.2 and install it (this will be used to send your email)

Set pattern lock for your phone

Set Profile:

Add new profile -> name it watever you want -> State -> Plugin -> Secure Settings -> Configuration: Edit -> Failed Login Attempts -> type number of attempts you want (remember to tick Device admin Enabled) -> Save -> Done

Set Tasks:

New Task -> name it yourself

Click + -> Net -> Mobi data -> On

Click + -> Net -> Wifi -> On

Click + -> Task -> Wait -> 2 seconds

Click + -> Media -> Take Photo -> Camera: Front -> Filename: %PHOTONUMBER

Click + -> Variable -> Variable set -> Name: %PHOTONUMBER ->To: 1

Click + -> Variable -> Variable add -> Name: %PHOTONUMBER -> Value: 1

Click + -> Variable -> Variable set -> Name: %EMAIL_USER -> To: your Gmail address (only Gmail support so far)

Click + -> Variable -> Variable set -> Name: %EMAIL_PSWD -> To: your Gmail password

Click + -> Variable -> Variable set -> Name: %EMAIL_TO -> To: email address you want to send to

Click + -> Variable -> Variable set -> Name: %EMAIL_ATTACH -> To: /sdcard/DCIM/Tasker/%PHOTONUMBER.jpg

Click + -> Script -> Run SL4A Script -> Name: sendemailA.py -> Pass Variables: %EMAIL_USER,%EMAIL_PSWD,%EMAIL_TO,%EMAIL_ATTACH

Click + -> Net -> Mobi data -> Off

And it's good to go, you can add some more fancy actions like vibrate notification, or say out loud "intruder" or something :victory:

I also have another to profile to delay screen lock if phone is used for 30 minutes, later than that it will resume as screen lock (pattern lock), Let's me know that you are interested

Good day all. I would like to know if someone can help me creating a profile OR directing me to an app that performs this function:

I listen to a lot of podcasts. lately when the screen cuts off so does the app. 1. I want to make sure the app does not cut off. My continuing problem is that, without pressing the back button, if I am listening to a podcast or music, if I want to serf the web, after about 2 minutes the podcast will stop. I have had it before where I am surfing the web and listening to my favorite shows. Can someone help me with creating a profile that will allow both of these two to be on at the same time?

How to keep mobile data on until screen is locked?

Hello, I am new to Tasker and new member of this great forum.

I want to completely remove Juice Defender then create a simple Tasker profile to control mobile data. Here is my current profiles:

Profile: Screen_On

Event: Display Unlocked

Task :

1. Variable set: %DATA~on

2. Mobile data: on

3. Auto-Sync: on

Profile: Screen_Off

Event: Display Off

Task :

1. Wait: 2 minutes

1. Variable set: %DATA~off

2. Mobile data: off

3. Auto-Sync: off

I set the device's screen timeout to 30 seconds.

Everything worked well when event on my Screen_On profile is set to Display On, but I want to turn the data on only after screen is unlocked.

The problem is that Mobile Data always Off after 30 seconds (display is turned off), I guess this is triggered by Profile Screen_Off.

How to keep mobile data on until screen is locked?

Sorry for my poor English. Thank you
