[Help] Tasker keeps setting dummy alarms - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Recently my Tasker (at least I believe culprit is Tasker) keeps setting dummy alarms, few minutes from current time. Alarms do not sound or show in Clock. They only show on Status Bar or if some app displays next alarm. Dummy alarms dissappear on their own also.
Not very serious, but annoying...

Only "When off".
Otherwise I receive the same fake alarms on panel.

Google now reminders ignoring Interruptions settings in Priority mode?

I'm on 5.1. I want to set priority mode so that it behaves similarly to the old silent mode on prior Android versions. For example, when I'm sleeping, I want to set up priority mode so that I ONLY get alarms (no sound or vibrate for calls, messages, reminders, other app notifications, etc.).
Anyway, I have configured the following settings:
When calls and notifications arrive -> Allow only priority interruptions
Priority interruptions:
Events and reminders -> ***OFF***
Calls -> OFF
Messages -> OFF
My problem is that, even though "Events and reminders" is set to OFF, I STILL get a notification sound and vibration for reminders set within Google Now. However, this DOESN'T happen for reminders attached to notes within Google Keep. I haven't yet tested all the other possibilities with Calendar events and reminders.
In the "App notifications" settings for the "Google App", Priority is OFF.
What is the expected behavior?
This seems like a bug to me.
As an additional comment, it seems like it would be useful to have customizable presets for the Interruptions settings. Depending on the situation, I may want to configure interruption settings differently. For example, sleep vs. in-a-meeting vs. driving vs. in-a-movie-theater, etc. Rather than having a single "Priority" mode, there could be a drop-down where you select from an arbitrary number of customized presets.
Finally, how do the per-app notification priority settings interact with the Interruptions settings? For example, what is supposed to happen if I turn on Priority in the per-app notifications settings for Hangouts, but have Messages OFF in the Interruptions settings. What happens when I get an SMS?

Have you checked the settings in the Google Now app itself? Notifications are set up as either priority or none for the app. Looks like they are set to priority by default. Google Now> tap the 3 lines and select settings> Now Cards.... see the screenshots below.
I have Ringtone set to silent and vibrate turned on. In priority mode, I still get a sound for reminders. I don't really understand what these settings do.

custom notification for Gmail in OnePlus 3T Orio, Android 8.0 OxygenOs5.0 Won't work

Tried adding a custom notification to Gmail.
Went the usual way: Settings > Sounds > "Ringtone for messages designated as Default" > local ringtones
The list of available tones on the phone comes up, but when i choose the one I want it wont sound, will appear as "chosen" but wont ring when mail comes in.
Red the threads, turned notification into .ogg, put it in same directory where all the notifications are, set -rw-r-r, and rebooted. now it shows on the list, sound when i choose it yet when Gmail gets a new mail the system will use another notification from the default list.
Any ideas ?
Have a look at Settings> Notifications> Gmail.

When i do that and reach gmail >press "gmail" logo on top> app info> battery> (bottom of scree) battery optimization > text in GRAY "doing optimization to battery" but tapping on the gray text has no reaction.
on the other hand "Gmail" does not appear on the optimization list on settings> battery> battery optimization

See screenshot for where you should be. Then tap on Email and select the sound you want.

Thank you for swift response.
Checked my phone (BtW it's the Hebrew version for Israel) and i have the exact same options marked but the vibration option which i allowed on my phone.
But, when a mail comes in to Gmail the phone chooses a different notification (other then my custom one) and ignores my previous setting

Clock alarm issues

Hello all,
I have noticed the following issues.
1. When using the built in Android alarm in conjunction with automatic "do not disturb" rules, the alarms only works for a couple of days. After that, it will not go off. I must turn off and then back on to get the alarm to sound in the morning.
2. When I use the huawei alarm in conjunction with automatic " do not disturb" rules, the alarm will never sound. If I unlock the phone, then the alarm will go off. I have ensured that priority notification was wet in the alarm settings and from the app menu.
If I "must" wake up, for example for a flight or something, it is impossible to trust the P20 Pro. I need to fire up my old iphone to make sure my alarm goes off. The last flight I had last week, the iphone saved me because the P20 wasn't interested in sounding the alarm.
Anyone else have these issues?
Yes I have the same issue! Very annoying
Kinda disappointed as I thought I've found the perfect phone
I have to make sure my DND mode ends before my alarm to make it work. The alarm override option in DND does not work
Fixed!!!
Go to Settings > Apps & Notification > Apps > Clock > Notifications
And turn on "Priority Display"
Now it works!
Your DND setting must be Priority. Doesn't work with alarm only.

Help with notification sound

So if I set one notification under the Sounds setting, which I believed was for all notifications except the ones I have set other sounds for, the Notification sound I set under Sound settings overrides any other settings. Example: Under sound settings, choose tone 1 for notification sound, message settings sets notification sound to tone 2, tone 1 plays for all notifications including messages. On my S8 I could have different notification tones for system and messages. I'm using stock messaging app. Any ideas?
May be a messages issue as i am using separate notification tones for most of my apps e.g whatsapp, signal etc.

You can/should change individual app notification sounds via the individual app settings.
You can also set them all in Settings > Notifications > "See all > choose All from the dropdown menu. you can then click any app to change the notification settings for it.

Trigger Amolad AOD with Tasker

A main disadvantage of the OP7P is the lack of AOD and Led. The ambient display is very short, so you never know if you missed call or message.
Some AOD Apps are heavy battery consumers, or disabling face recognition unlock, OPAODmod block chrome, Plus Beat is reasonable solution, though it is not AOD.
gigiion came up with the idea to trigger the Amolad AOD app to run only if notification was missed, using Macrodroid. Here is the way I implemented his idea, using Tasker:
1. Install Always on AMOLED from google play store. Do not enable the service. For OP7P choose One UI theme.
2. Screen condition
In Tasker, make these two profiles:
- Display off > Veriable set %Screen_Locked ~ 1
- Display Unlocked > Veriable set %Screen_Locked ~ 0
In such way the native ambient display will not interrupt the AOD whet it turn the screen on.
3. Main task
If %Screen_Locked ~ 1
Veriable set %Titel1 to %NTITLE
Veriable set %Text1 to %evtprm3
Wait 15 secondes
From Amolad plugin – start amolad display if %Screen_Locked ~ 1
End if
The variables %Title1 and %Text1, can be used to track the situation that the AOD start without any known trigger. Such phenomenon can happened if WhatsApp notify “Searching for messages”.
The 15 sec delay is for the native ambient display. The double condition of Screen_locked, disable AOD if you unlocked display in this period, of just answer a call.
4. Triggers
Make profiles of event/notification, missed call, state/power/power or whatever you like, and assign to the task you just made. Name those profiles – it is necessary for next stage.
5. Toggle profiles
Make “toggle aod profiles” task:
Profile Status missed_call set toggle
Profile Status aod set toggle
etc ……..
if % PENABLED ~ *,aod,* (“aod” is name of one of the trigger profiles)
setup quick setting (number: 1st, Name: toggle aod profiles, status: inactive)
else
setup quick setting (number: 1st, Name: toggle aod profiles, status: active)
end if
I do not understand way the active/inactive are replaced.
6. Assign quick setting button
In Tasker’s main screen upper right corner three dots: Preferences/ Action tab/ quick setting tab.
Then add it in the quick setting editor.
7. Automatic toggle triggers
Clone the task you made in section 5, and change “toggle” to “on” of “off”, then you can make any profile you like to toggle the triggers.
Seems like alot of work when you can just use this mod.

The main reason that I didn't use it, is the long remind interval (min 15 sec) and the short display time. You can miss notifications if you don't looking into the black screen all the time. Any case I found stable AOD to be better, otherwise i could use Plus beat.
