A little help needed here. I want to set up a task to reboot my phone when I unplug it in the morning. I had a task to reboot when...

Not ac power

If battery equals 100

Reboot

This worked fine for my first test but when I let it run today I had to go through 3 reboots before the battery dropped to 99. I also don't need it to keep checking if battery is 100 when not ac power all day long so I guess if battery equals 100 should come before not ac power or can I put a wait in there to have it wait like 18 hours or something.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe you can add in task action "profil status" set off. Before restart he turn off profil.

And create new profil : when power on set profil status on.

Tasker + Galaxy S4 GTI9505 + Flip Case S-View

Hey folks, I was looking for some help on a tasker profile I am working on.

The profile is to launch and connect ARLiberator to my AppRadio2 in my car, and is 99% perfect except one minor point!

I have one of those new Flip Cases with the window in (S-View) which is awesome for daily use, but when I close it on the car profile it still locks the screen into the small window view. I could really do with keeping the case closed as its in my glovebox.

Anyone know how to disable/enable the feature with tasker?

My current enable profile is enabled on the detection of both a charger connected and the Bluetooth profile being active (so it doesnt enable unless the MHL cable is connected) incase its a short trip to the shops and my phone is in my poocket:

Secure Settings - Disable Keyguard

Secure Settings - Pattern Lock Off

Load App - ARLiberator

When the state changes back to no charge and/or no bluetooth connection, it exits a few things and generally cleans up some bugs:

Secure Settings - Task Kill - CoPilot

Secure Settings - Task Kill - ARLiberator

Display Rotation - On

Car Mode - Off

Display Timeout - 3mins

Secure Settings - Keyguard On

Secure Settings - Pattern Lock Enabled

I am turning the phones screen off using the "Screen Standby" app for now as I want to get this bit working first.

I have tried every option I can think of and a few other to, and have google'd the life out of the subject, but just cant find an answer.

Anyone able to help?

I'm trying to set a profile to perform this action: Whenever keyboard is out screen timeout is 1 hour.

I've set the state as keyboard out and the timeout as 1 hour and tested. It works. But then the timeout stays 1 hour even if the keyboard has been hid. So how do I get it to revert back to the original timeout? I usually have it at 15 seconds.

Would anyone know how to set this up in Tasker?

I'd like for my bluetooth to activate and try to autoconnect to the headunit in my car when I turn the screen on. If no connection is found in 1 minute, I'd like for it to turn my bluetooth off.

I've tried to set it up several times unsuccessfully. Any help would be appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Just long click your task in the profile and set up an exit task that resets the timeout to 15 sec.
[Android Apps and Games] kkapoorr:
Doesn't work.

I even tried having another profile with the keyboard inverted task to have it revert back. Still don't work.

I've given up.

Sent from my Note II
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
What about having that Keyboard Out (inverted) profile (15 sec) a separate profile and running normally. Then make the first task of your Keyboard Out profile turn off the inverted one, then change the display timeout to whatever. The exit task would be to toggle the KO (inverted) profile back on again.
[Android Apps and Games] greyhd:
The only task I have set up is for the BT to be turned off after 1 minute, but have yet to set up one for connecting automatically. I will see what I can come up with.
[Android Apps and Games] vitoski:
Hey buddy.

In order to force your phone to connect to bluetooth, install SecureSettings plugin for tasker. You can find it in Google play store, it's free.

You may want to set 'wait' for ie 5sec after you turn on your bluetooth by lightning screen and then action to connect to the device with secure settings.

I hope this helps a little bit.

I rarely plug my phone in while driving. It usually stays in my pocket. I was able to get it working perfectly. I can leave my phone in my pocket, touch one of the volume buttons on the side and everything connects automatically. My headunit can control everything from there. It even turns the bluetooth off once it disconnects.

Question: About Location Settings and Auto Sync.

So I recently saw an app that can turn on/off Wifi based on location. So I thought to myself why not create this stuff in Tasker since I bought it zzz haha.

So what I setup was "Location Office" use Network Location (not gps) ===> turn on wifi. exit task turn off wifi. Magic it works

So then I setup the same thing for when I am at home. works again!

Then last night i was getting all tricky and added if on 3g, turn off auto sync. On Wifi, Turn on auto sync.

now I noticed this morning when I went to the office, with Auto Sync Off, it never turned on wifi.

Here is the big question. Does Location Settings depend on Auto Sync haha?

Can tasker set something like this?

For instance, I want tasker to automatically underclock the cpu if I have been using an ebook app for >20seconds. If I quit the app during before 20mins, it does not underclock,
[Android Apps and Games] Almazick:
sure, why not. Set it up and if you are having problem post your code for someone point out the mistakes.
[Android Apps and Games] lambstone:
Managed to make it work. Added a wait command and then disabled the task queue enforcing. This allows the exit task to run immediately even though the enter task has not yet completed.

Sent from my Note II
[Android Apps and Games] lambstone:
Yes. There is a way. Afaik, you can set it to toggle tasks during screen off. You can then set the task to change apn. You can also set it to happen periodically by repeating. Google each portion. I'm not a pro hence I can't tell you how to but I've been researching online and it helped me create some fairly complex profiles.

Google Navigation and Overlays Widgets

I have a Tasker profile that starts two floating widgets when Google navigation is initiated, and closes them when navigation is terminated. One is the Pandora widget that I created in Overlays, and the other is a custom widget that has shortcuts to various apps, and that I made using Overlays and Elixir 2.

When either widget is pressed, in order to switch to one of the shortcut apps or Pandora, the widgets disappear, even though navigation is still running in the background. I suppose this is caused by the exit task. I am looking for a way to keep the widgets visible so that I can use them to switch among apps and back to navigation. I imagine that I would have to create some kind of condition that would prevent the widget exit task from executing if navigation is running in the background.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and for any help you may be able to offer.

EDIT: NM, figured it out.

Podcast Addict Intents

So I am no noob to Tasker but when they changed how the intents are set up in the app I have been completely unable to get them to work... ever.

Currently I am trying to have Tasker trigger the podcast update at certain times for Podcast Addict. The app dev states that the app "can be controlled by task automation apps like Tasker or AutomateIT through Intents" in the tin, and on his website he lists a bunch of intents to use.

The one I'm interested in is "‘com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.update‘ – Trigger podcasts update" but that's all that's noted. I have no idea what to put in the Action line, or what to put in the Class and Package lines, if a category needs to be set, and if to use Action or Service for the Target.

I have been messing with this for weeks, and have searched the interwebs and scoured forums and Google Groups hoping for someone to explain how to use intents now.

Please! If anyone can take a look at this and tell me how to set it up correctly, I would appreciate it greatly.

Thank you!:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] discobilly:
hey folks,

i`m trying to create tasker profiles, but my attempts are not very successful. i tried almost every combination and constellation - but my battery drains very very fast when i activate the profiles.

i tried it with 2,3,4 and 5 different profiles (2g/3g on/off, display on/off, wifi at home, disable wifi NOT home, cell near, wifi near, wifi connected) and setting all kinds of variables, switch on/off profile status…….betterbatterystats says, that tasked is responsible for the exorbitant power drain.

so would somebody here help me setting the right profiles?

what i want is:

1. when display is off, I want to use 2g

it doesn`t matter wether I´m at home or outside. mobile data and sync/push should also be activated - no "wait X minutes, then…"

2. when display in on AND I´m at home, I want to use wifi

in case of locking the screen or display is off, 1.) should be activated

3. when display is on AND I´m not at home AND using/starting certain apps (e.g. play store, browser, twitter,…..), I want to use 3g

in case of locking the screen or display is off, 1.) should be activated

…….

that´s what i´m trying to set in tasker for 2 weeks now - but nothing works :(

i think, i mess up with the variables and the events and states

thank you

[Android Apps and Games] Nibb31:
For your first question, I don't think it's possible.

Your second question doesn't require tasker. In WiFi settings, just set it to connect automatically to a wifi hotspot name. You will have to leave wifi on.

Are you trying to totally disable the lockscreen... or just turn off password protection to get into your phone?

If you're turning off the protection, use the "Password/Pin" action in the Dev Admin Actions section of Secure Settings. You can also use that same action to turn on and set the password/pin.

[Android Apps and Games] vitoski:
Yes it works as you said. If you haven't specified any network, wifi trigger will work if your phone is near any wifi network. On the other hand of you set it up against known network it will work only if your phone is near that exact network.

Say Spotify Song

I use spotify all the time and wanted to know what is playing without grabbing the phone.

With tasker it can say the song when the song starts.

This depends on the Notification spotify shows if its not the active app.

Profile: "Spotify Notify"

Context:

Notification Spotify, *

Headset plugged in (only if you want it, you can also use bluetooth or something else)

Task:

If %TEMPNTITLE !~ %NTITLE (to only say the title once)

Variable Set %TEMPNTITLE To %NTITLE (we save the notification title)

Variable Set %TEMPVOL To %VOLM (we save the actual media volume)

Media Volume 6 (decrease if needed)

Say Text %NTITLE Engine:Voice com.google.android.tts:eng-usa (see at the end)

Media Volume

I had problems with the IVONA Text-to-Speech Engine so I selected the google engine in the task.

Todo:

- Set the media volume to X percent of the current state

- Don't say "Downloading music"

- Don't let it say stuff like bracket or other characters (using search/replace)

Will Tasker only control GPS for some specific types of apps? I have a profile set up using Secure Settings to activate when Maps/Navigation, etc are launched. When I try to add other apps to the list it refuses to turn GPS on, yet still works fine for Maps. I'm specifically trying to do it for Google Now, which I like a lot but the location settings on constantly coupled with weak signal in my area eats my battery like my kid does donuts.

You will have to use Secure Settings for turning off GPS. Android changes means Tasker cannot turn off GPS itself.

what should i buy ?

duno if its just one time thing or all the non oem battery are no good
[HD2 Accessories] Nevralgeek:
I don't really know a lot of things about HD2 batteries, but I'll try to answer generally speaking.

Technically, OEM and non-OEM batteries are almost the same thing. They even are, sometimes, built in the same factories, with same components.

So why are the OEM batteries so expensive compared to nonames ?

The big difference is quality control. Your OEM battery is safe and works in an optimized way to give the best of your phone (close to a 100% charge, stable tension etc)

Noname batteries aren't controlled, so you can buy a battery that has the same quality than the HTC one, as well as one that can't deliver all its power (like yours) or even one that could overheat or explode if you're unlucky and that iron particles, for example, have not been detected in it.

I hope that it will help you, and if someone knows more than I do, please complete or correct.me ;)
[HD2 Accessories] Mister B:
Buying batteries from eBay is a risky game to say the least.

Most items pleeding to be Genuine, Original, OEM manufacture simply are not.

Most of the items are low quality copies (some batteries look 100% genuine) most of the items are worth less than the packaging they are in & as for standard size batteries claiming to have 45% or more capacity for only $8.99, complete bullsh*t dear sir.

do yourself a favour & buy genuine from local dealer or only from recommended source of aftermarket items.

eBay is the worlds largest pirate products & fraudulant ecommerce market, about time they cleaned up or got shut down.
