I've been playing around with Tasker trying to detect when Touchless Controls are summoned to disable Airplane mode(Secure Settings).
Does anyone have a profile for this because I was pretty close to getting it to work but I had a couple of issues. I was able to get it to perform the task when Touchless Controls were active. I would have it disable Airplane Mode, close Touchless Controls and launch Voice Controls but even using the Wait command I wasn't able to get it to launch Voice Controls once the internet connection was established.
I must have been setting the task wrong, I also noticed even though I used the If parameter for Airplane Mode Set, it would close the Touchless controls if Airplane Mode wasn't enabled.

I'm still a tasker noob but I'm wondering, how is it knowing that touchless controls are active?
I would think the easiest way, and I'm throwing this out there , is to enable airplane mode when the screen is off and disable it when the screen is on. quick and simple.

UPDATE: Ok i figured out what was wrong. Instead of checking AIR is Set, I needed to specify *on* and *off* so
Currently the task is
1 If %AIR Is *on*
2 Secure Settings, Airplane Mode Disabled (There may be a 3 second delay here or on the next step)
3 Kill App Touchless Control
4 Wait X seconds (3-4 seconds seems to be optimal)
5 Load App Voice Search (Can set If %AIR Is *off* may help)

It was tricky finding it, using the Application Context even when I selected all I wasn't able to initially find Touchless Controls. I searched for it in ES File Explorer and made a copy of it to another folder and launched the properties and suddenly I was able to locate it in Tasker, not sure what actually made it show though.
Your suggestion sounds like a pretty considerable method, I'll give it a shot. I think the main issue is that I'm not able to get enough of a delay between turning Airplane mode off and launching Voice Search because the connection doesn't fully establish yet.
Currently the task is
1 If %AIR Is Set
2 Secure Settings, Airplane Mode Disabled
3 Kill App Touchless Control
4 Wait (tried variable times, it didn't seem to make a diff. I also tried Wait Until %Air ! Set)
5 Load App Voice Search (Tried If %Air ! Set, didn't seem to help)

oddly enough I don't even get the option to set airplane mode in secure settings but I see the dilemma you're running into .. in my 'scientific test' I would disable all radios minus the actual cellular. Then from there let the screen sleep. Speak a command and it would light up, kicking on the Bluetooth and Data radios in a instant, then jump straight to the google voice prompt long before wireless was connected, buuuuuut, I had bluetooth, and Mobile data load almost immediately upon the screen lighting up. Do you specifically need wifi or can you use mobile data until wifi is up?

You'll need to load Secure Settings App and download Helper under one of the tabs on the top (There is a 4.1+ alternative)
Also to mess with Airplane on 4.2+ firmware you need an Xposed module, just search Airplane.. it says Jellybean but it works fine with KitKat.
I added another tidbit to the task so it will vibrate if I launch Touchless Controls with Airplane enabled, that way I realize not to speak until the second beep. Not sure why but it didn't function well when I added it to the same task so I created another Touchless App context profile and a task that just vibrates but it could just be me.
The only other issue is making sure Super SU settings remembers Secure Settings is permitted, that was an issue when it was slow to recognizing permissions.
I also created an App (using Tasker Factory) out of Airplane Mode enabled task so I can just say Ok Google Now, Launch Airplane (I also have a Screen Off app)
Everything is working good now
How did you end up getting Tasker to recognize whether or not Touchless Controls was active? I'm trying to get Tasker to turn on the wifi, (sometimes I turn it off, then use TC--but it doesn't have data, so it's useless), when TC is called.

You should just be able to set the profile to run on the TC app (I forget all the specific names, but one of the profile trigger actions is 'apps')

I don't have Touchless Controls as an app--just Touchless Controls Settings.

any idea how to set up Tasker to turn on airplane mode at a specific time and turn it off at a specific time? The idea is to have airplane mode turned on at say 1am and turned off at 7am. Anyone?
Hi,
I have the phone charging next to me overnight and the bright lights are really annoying. I have setup Light Flow to dim the charging LED but cant get it's sleep mode to work correctly so that notifications don't make the led bright and flashing again (I have it enabled for a certain time period and set the light/LED to disabled).
I have also tried using an app called "Do Not Disturb" which allows you to stop Mobile Data and Wifi over it's sleep period to stop the notifications from turning up but that doesn't seem to stop them properly and they still show up (along with their very bright flashing light).
So, has anyone had any luck getting these apps to work or do you have an alternative that does these jobs successfully for you?
I already invested a lot of time in finding a proper solution for the Z3, but maybe here someone found a solution in the meantime?
(I can't root the device, as it's the device of my girl friend)
Thanks for any help.
I use tasker to shut down sync and mobile connections when charging. Without root there is no solution so far. You can turn of light notifications, but battery/charging notifications stay active and have priority above Lightflow settings.

Within Light Flow, make sure the charging/charged lights have priority above all other notifications and you should be set.
I, too, use Tasker to disable data at night, but sometimes some notification comes along anyway (like a birthday reminder or something). However, thanks to Light Flow suppressing other notifications than the charge related ones, I don't get blinded at night anymore.
Previously, I used Light Manager for the same job, but for me, LM couldn't really handle those other notifications, and instead started to switch between blinking the colour of the notification and the dimmed charge light.
Hi
I made a project to turn my phone to airplane mode automatically at night.
That would be very simply if I'd go to sleep at the same time every day.
My project uses the motion sensor to detect whether I am still awake.
Tasker checks if the phone was moved within the last 10 min and turns the phone to airplane mode if not. If the phone is being moved again tasker turns off airplane mode again. (Sensor is only alive until it was moved. Any move should turn the sensor off until next 10min check. So it won't drain too much battery)
To narrow down the sensor time I defined time dependent night mode which is turned off by an alarm event or rather late in the morning (in case no alarm was set)
There is also a sleep now task which can be triggered (with a widget if setup) to put the phone in airplane mode until it is picked up again.
I had to play around with sensor sensibility, length and accelerometer (which is now set to "no")
http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5897254d3b91d/Airplane_Night.prj.xml.zip
(Could not upload it as xml ...)
2 tasks are not part of the project but used anyways: silent and loud: these are to make the phone silent and loud again in the morning. I am not using taskers reset settings here because I want the phone to become loud 5 min after the alarm goes off because otherwise I get a sound notification about anything that happened straight away after the alarm goes off which I don't really like ... (plus if I look at the phone in the middle of the night I get a loud notification as well - even the phone turns itsself silent after max 20min again ...)
For airplane mode I use secure settings. My phone allows airplane mode with either secure settings or tasker itsself. If you don't have secure settings try taskers internal airplane mode: Net - airplane mode
Please check it out and comment ...
Regards
Nice
Can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing.
Still one of my favorite projects on Tasker and never stopped using it.
Thanks again, Daniu.
Posted this on the Sprint section, but there seems to be more traffic here.
I just got this phone.
I wake up my phone in the morning and then I get tons of notification message from Whatapp.
The message was sent at like 8 am, but I only get the notification when I wake up the phone.
I tired putting Whatapp NOT to be "Optimize battery usage" and is still occurs.
I believe this is cause by the deep sleep/ doze feature?
I came from LG G3. It had MM with the same feature. But It doesnt have this bug at all.
I copy the same setting on my G3, and is still occurs.
How do I manually adjust the Doze option on my phone? My unrooted phone doesn't seem to be entering doze at all (even with power saving mode enabled)
Hey guys. Loving my note 8. I do have an issue. When watching videos, I lose sound. I discovered that the do not disturb button is enabled. I disable it and hours later it activates itself, without any input. If anyone has had the same issue, let's talk.

You don't by chance have the Do not disturb option "Turn on as scheduled" activated in your settings do you?
This is happening to me as well, in the afternoons the 'DO NOT DISTURB' 'Enable now' setting is automatically turned on
My 'Enable as schedule' setting is turned off.
I have also noticed my DND randomly turns on, and then it takes me several times of attempting to turn it off before it will finally stay off. This sometimes happens several times a day. I do have a schedule in place, but my settings within that also fall out - such as allowing alarms or my favorites. The alarm option will stay stuck in the off position until I end up having to restart the phone. Once the phone restarts then I can make the changes I want, but not sure why I have to keep doing this. My fear is that this setting will switch while I'm sleeping causing an alarm to not go off or I'll miss an emergency call. I could just not use this feature, but I really like it and wish it would work correctly. I never had this issue on my S7
I am having the same problem after the most recent update. DND turns on all by itself every afternoon.
I tried using the schedule figuring it might force it to do what I WANT it to do, to no avail. It still automatically turns on every afternoon?
This issue even happens in Safe Mode
