Tasker - Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh

So after update to LP Tasker is not working. I had it set up to turn off 4g and background data when screen would time out then reconnect when screen wakes up. Suggestions?

Can't be done without root on Lollipop. Found that out after updating today too. So frustrating being locked out of so much

You can't do it even with root I use Llama on Droid Maxx running cm12.1 and it doesn't work. They changed something in the code that doesn't allow it anymore. It sucks my battery life is taking a hit.

If you figure out how to do that while on Lollipop, there's a bounty for you to claim...
AFAIK, you're SOL.

It can't be done automatically. The quickest way I've found is to use the two-finger swipe from the top to get to the quick settings menu then hit the cell signal icon. If anyone finds a way to do it automatically, please don't hesitate to say something! I get horrible reception at work so I now have to manually tell it to turn off mobile data every day. Kinda sucks.

Drew, I'm In the same position. Weak 4g signal that's why I have always used Tasker, paid version, to control it.

Has anyone tried using AutoInput and Tasker to leverage the toggles in the pulldown as a workaround?

Data and signal color changes

Curious, anyone know why sometimes the data and signal bars are blue and sometimes they are white? Thought maybe it was signal strength or active/dormant difference.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
i noticed that too. i would think that whatever is blue is what you are using. if you are on a wifi it will have the wifi icon blue and the 3g or 4glte white. i am not 100% sure but i think thats how it works.
Blue (green in aosp) means a connection to google services.

That explains it. Thanks. So why would one one to know this information while using their phone? So much that there would be a status indicator for it.

well i would think that it has something to do with the new data plans having caps. im sure that they want to make people as aware as possible as of when they are using data from the verizon network or a wifi.

This is a feature that's built into android from gingerbread on. It serves several purposes, but the immediate purpose is a tell-tale sign that something may be up with your connection.

Well, since so many features on Android phones depend on synchronization with Google's servers (Gmail, calendar, etc) it's usually good to know if you're connected. It also lets you know when something might be wrong with your data connection even though you are apparently connected to a network.

Wifi calling permission denied?

With the new update every time I press the wifi calling app in my launcher it says "permission denied" in a toast message and does nothing. And the menu in settings refuses to turn on. What am I missing?

Ask I got wifi calling itself to work in the settings and through the dialer by un-freezing self service. But the "app" still dies nothing and displays a "permission denied" toast message
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
Yeah, I'm getting the same toast notification, even though I have it all good to go in Settings.
Edit: I'm on InsertCoin 4.0.4, by the way.

Hope someone can help us. WiFi calling has been raping my battery, going crazy with wakelocks, with it disabled in settings as well. Can't even open the damn thing.

Sprint is now offering wifi calling or are you guys using tmobile? If you are using Tmo, are able to get 4G with the sprint m8? Is there a forum to be able to change basebands on this M8?

Google Wallet issue?

Is anyone else having an issue where Google Wallet says that functions are disabled because it "looks like another app is blocking access to wallet." It then says that another app may be drawing over the screen. Any ideas?

I guess I must be the only one having this issue, then...

I have the exact issue, however I have a LG G2 vs980. I thought the issue might be from my using xprivacy, however I have it set to ignore google wallet. Also this is my first time trying to use google wallet.
Figured mine out. Lux is not compatible.

You're right - it's Lux. Never had a problem before, so it didn't even occur to me.

VZW: Need to be on 3G to send texts

I need to have my phone set to 3G to be able to send texts. I can receive them on any network setting.
Anyone else experience this issue?

This has happened on a few VZW phones and the only way to fix is to flash a stock rom/reactivate. So... yeah.

I am not rooted if that makes a difference.
So I would need to factory reset and then get with Verizon to reactivate the SIM?

Go into settings then SMS then access point names. I use T-Mobile and for some reason metropcs was selected. Try to select the AP that fits your carrier

APNs are set by the SIM on Verizon, this is neither an option nor needed.
The APN setting that needs to be changed is within google hangouts

I wasn't using Hangouts, but I tried it. The APN was already set to VZW (there were a dozen APNs in settings, but all the same). I tried it on LTE, but still no dice.

It has to deal with the activation, i'm sure. This has happened to me once or twice on my N2 and S3. I had to reflash back to a completely stock FW, reactivate, and flash back. No clue how it works, but it sounds like it happens when activating the phone. If this happens, there might not be a fix since there is no VZW FW/activation/etc. I spent ages playing in APN and cell settings (the hidden one in dialer.)
Try this, send a text, let it hang, and then toggle LTE off and then back to on again. If it sends, this issue is most likely very similar to those other issues on Samsung.

Does anyone's advanced sms actually work?

I have the options menu to turn everything on but I can't actually see if anyone read my text or if they are typing. My friend updated as well and is on t mobile and we can't see anything for anyone or for each other.
I haven't got it to work either 2 Galaxy tmo s6 devices together.

Are both of you on either lte or WiFi? Otherwise it won't work, and I think both devices must also be connected to either

I've tried every possible combo but it still doesn't work. The send text button will get or orange box around it but doesn't show when anything is read.
Can someone post a screenshot of what it looks like when it works?
Honestly I could care less about this, I would like group messaging to work correctly.
