I'm trying to enable WiFi tether with tasker for arunchained. I have the secure settings app and it doesn't toggle WiFi tether. It comes up as an error when running the task. Anyone have any luck with this?
Same issue here and have seen it on several other threads..... have not seen a solution to this yet. I've used Tasker and Trigger in the past with no problems, but can't get either to turn Hotspot on/off.
Strange...
I just tried with both the built in Tasker toggle and Secure Settings and both times Wi-Fi Hotspot turned on without a problem.
What's the error?

Are you running stock? What gives I have to use a convoluted autoinput task to do this. Secure settings doesn't work at all on 5.1.1 for me.

I'm running stock and always have, prefer vanilla Android.
As to Secure Settings not working on 5.1.1, I wouldn't know since I haven't used it in some time. Last time probably was just prior to posting in this thread (almost 4 months ago).
Sorry, no help here...

I found a wrokaround that allows you to still tether automatically with Tasker. I posted my results here in the Tasker Groups page. More or less you simulate screen taps to use the standard phone quick setting in the notification pulldown window. Send a PM or hit me up on Hangouts if you need any help figuring it out.
Thanks @andrewjt19 I'll have to give this a go later! I actually found an app that will toggle Wi-Fi tether automatically, but it is paid. I wonder what method the app uses to do it, I never checked on a debugger and I'm not even sure I would know what I am looking at. It is a shame to have to pay for something that should be such a simple procedure.
The app is called toggle WiFi hotspot 5.0 by Erwin Goslawski.

I found this widget and bought it too. It works well. I guess I'm glad I found an alternative methods of this stops working at some point. The only downside to my method is that the screen must be on and off the user is interacting with the device when the script runs, it could interfere this not activating the intended purpose. But overall it's simple and efficient. Thanks for sharing this widget though.

I had been having this problem on my 5x and just found a solution with xposed. I installed the xposed module 'x tether' which says it enables tethering for the moto x phones and afterwards tasker is able to enable / disable the wifi hotspot. This is the first thread that came up on google when I searched for this problem so I thought I would post here in case someone else encounters the same problem.

Hello,
Is there anyway to get Autoremote to work directly with the Note 3 over bluetooth and not require internet? I'm sure I"m missing something? thanks.
You need internet first to register device in autoremote
After that, you only need standard Bluetooth connection to send commands
@Brendo my bluetooth autoremote seems to work fine.
However if I try to send a notification (not a quick message) via bluetooth it doesn't seem to get received on the gear
Please try and let me know if you can send and receive a NOTIFICATION thanks

Stock notifications aren't available on the gear. You can get the pull down bar in null rom, but even then I don't think it works with all apps. I've not tested though. If you mean the notifications like standard way that gear manager sends notifications, we really need an sdk to work out how to utilize that (there are workarounds where some apps used existing channels)

No, perhaps you misunderstood,
if you go into the autoremote app and select "devices" then there is a small envelope on the right as well as a triangle - these are used to send quick messages and notifications ( by autoremote app )
I can send the message, but not the notification by bluetooth..... however notificatio does work fine by wifi and it gets received by the gear no problem

I understand now. I had a look sending notification via plugin in tasker - which is the same, but didn't realise how notification was sent. Sounds like message uses direct Bluetooth where as notification routes through wifi. Sounds like you'll need to check with dev (may be a bug or unfinished since Bluetooth is recent addition to app?)
I ve got the same problème when i has was in theter i Can send command but without theter the command don t work.
Can you help me?

Thank you. I thought I was the only one not able to get this working. I've trying for a week now and everything I found made me feel like I was doing something wrong.
The one thing I've noticed is that when you click and hold the device, and the menu comes up, when I select "connect Bluetooth device, it will say it is connected. But, right after that, it says "not a valid QR code". So I've been wondering if that has anything to do with it.
Anybody else seen this?

Ok, regarding the tasker task, does this need to be included in every task? What I mean is, I've already got some autoremote tasks that work when tethered. I want to be able to use them via BT when I'm not on Wifi (that's the only way my tether works).

I've done this and it still doesn't work. Still getting "retrying 1/5" etc. I'm starting to think I must have some other BT connection issue because I've been trying to get the BT GPS sharing working again. It worked a few null roms back but seems to be broken now. I've searched all over the phone and the gear but can't find anything that would be blocking certain BT functions. Everything else works between the phone and the gear (notifications, weather, mini gallery, pedometer backup).

I assume you have done the below, but repeating it for others too....
In Autoremote, on the devices tab, click on the bluetooth icon of each paired autoremote device to switch ON, and turn wifi off ( assume you have already long pressed and "add as Bluetooth device )
If ON, the icon is blue, if off grey

Yep, tried it multiple ways. Like I said, I think I've got some other connection issue. I even tried the Smart Remote app from the gear store and haven't ever been able to get it to connect either. At first I thought it was due to the null rom but others have said it works for them.
I just have no idea what would allow "selective" connections.
Edit: I just noticed that on the phone, in tasker, it shows as an active profile but in the gear it does not. I even set up a generic profile just to pop up a notification. If I test the action it works but the profile still shows as inactive and in the notification panel it still shows "no active profiles" yet all other functions continue to work. Can someone confirm if this is the same on their gear?

I had the same, initially, it took some time on the Gera with Tasker.
Try switch profile off, then on, save reboot, reconnect and have patience.
Instead of connecting to a "named" connection, leave that bank and choose the optional "bluetooth address" in taker profile state

I use autoremote on the gear over bluetooth and it work well with my note 3.
I have tasker which enable bluetooth in gear and note 3 when they connect them in bluetooth.
It work great until the watch goes in deep sleep. At this time the connection is broken until I reboot. I try to enable persistent notification on the gear when tasker enable autoremote bluetooth (to prevent the service to be killed) but at this time I have another problem, the gear and the phone are not able to go in deep sleep so I have a big battery drain.
If someone have ideas to help I'll be very glad.

I rebooted both phone and gear and the first try was successful. Next attempt back to trying. One thing I noticed was that upon restart both taskers showed the Bluetooth profile as active. After the first test the tasker on my phone now shows inactive. Prior to restart it was the gear that showed inactive.
Either way, this is progress. Now to find out why they aren't staying active.

After series of reboots in various orders, this is finally working. Now that it is, I can even say it's much faster than while tethered.
Now I can't wait to get my home automation setup and working. To control it all from the watch is going to be awesome.
Thanks everybody for your support and ideas.

How can I use this feature to toggle on/off my bluetooth, NFC, Cellular Data, Wifi, etc?
How can I ask it to read out unread texts or the last text I got?

To read text just say "hey google now, what's up" and it will read your notifications and maybe your text.
and you cannot toggle features on and off unfortunately, that would be cool though but then other people could sabotage your phone... NOT COOL!
Hope that helps.
Thanks I'll give that What's Up thing a try later today.
It didn't work. Just does a Google search for What's up.
Any other suggestions?
Are you sure you've updated the Touchless Control app? It should work even when you don't have any pending messages. If you are certainly up to date, just try again.

Try what's new or read notifications. I think what's up works for U.S users only.
Yes for UK users, the command is What's New. Works perfectly and very handy!
Absolutely loving this phone for it's features and sleek looks!
What I have done in the past is to use Tasker app factory to create small apps to do the toggles you want, and then tell touchless control to launch the app.

That's not true if you have root. There is an xposed module that allows Google now to turn on/off bluetooth/wifi/mobile data. It works with Touchless controls.

Works fine here; "launch driving mode". "Driving Mode" being an app I created for setting BT on, WiFi off, screen timeout to 5 minutes, and sending a play intent to Pocketcasts.

The module is Google Search API. http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/xposed-modules/mod-google-search-api-t2554173
The plugin, voice toggles, allows you to turn on/off wifi/bluetooth/mobile data. I also use the autovoice plugin to allow me to use my tasker/autovoice stuff from google now, and by extension touchless controls.
The ability to turn on/off bluetooth/wifi/mobile data is already built into google now, but it's disabled and/or incomplete. I'm remembering that, so it might not be 100% correct.

I haven't had any luck so far and am curious if anyone has found a hotspot toggle widget that works for the S6. AT&T has spec'd the phone without the hotspot toggle in the quick settings like the other carriers have, so it requires digging into the mobile hotspot and tethering settings.
I'm looking for the same too, it's really irritating that it's buried, especially given that I'm paying for a plan that includes that feature, I miss the toggle in the quick settings on my One M8.

I have an AT&T S6 as my work phone and I also lack the toggle. No, the two-finger pull down doesn't make it magically appear - it does not exist on the phone. For the longest time I was using THIS .apk (built for the S4) and it worked beautifully, but with the recent 6.0.1 update the quick toggle is gone and the .apk no longer works.
I would really love to find something similar that works with 6.0.1 and adds a toggle in the quick settings, not a widget on the home screen, as I use the mobile hotspot all the time for connecting my work laptop... If anyone reading this can help, there are lots of us looking...
Bump... Anyone find a solution, I too would prefer a toggle in quick settings but would be fine with a widget.
Does anybody know an app that would allow me to create profiles such as work, home, other, with customized settings like wifi on, Bluetooth off, vibration, and so on, and allow me to place a widget on my homescreen? I saw a few apps that fit the description on playstore but most of them seemed abandoned and still had screenshots from gingerbread. Also it has to work without root as i want to keep my phone clean for Samsung Pay. I don't mind if it's a paid app.
Thanks in advance
P.S. I know there is tasker, its an amazing app i'm sure, but it's not so simple to use.

Been looking too for the longest time. EasyProfiles was my go-to profiles app since it had just about everything that could be done built in, including support for tasker and also Secure Settings.
But...abandoned as you said for a long time. It used to work sporadically on my custom lollipop, but somehow has recently stopped working completely.
I too am curious to know if there are any.
Yeah. I have been looking for a long time for such app. Tasker is great but its so complexe that when you create a profile you have to make sure your next profile has settings that counter the first. As an example if you set a night mode with an option to turn off led notification you have to make sure you have an other profile that turns it back on. This is just a simple example but things can get messed up quickly if you're not careful. When using tasker i feel like im coding an app and need to update it with bug fixes in order to get it working well. It's a bit too sophisticated for the simple things i want to do

There is a tasker plugin by the same developer called AutoCast. Maybe it will help you.

was a great idea, sadly this app (beta state) only supports google devices, no miracast device, but that function would have been the winner, thanks again
Probably a part of the problem is that Google removed miracast support from "stock" android awhile ago. That dates back to the nexus 6 days.

contacted the developer of the autocast plugin and he confirmed, only works with google cast devices like i (sadly) expected.
thanks anyway for the hint.
That's always working to automate the tap(s) required. You could use Tasker to open the app, AutoInput UI query to determine when it's open, then an AutoInput action to enable the device connection.
probably yes, but thats now too much read and trial and error for now, thanks.
