Tasker Accessing the Temp and HumidityVars - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone who has tasker been able to access the Temp and Humidity variables on their AT&T S4 Active? When I try to access them on mine the variables are red and says there is an error. I don't understand why this is happening considering I know the sensors are there.
Thanks for any help given in advance.

GPS Intermediate driver question?

I'm successfully using the GPS driver with my Mobile Phone WM6 but have a question with regard to turning off the GPS device and turning it back on within my application.
Initially when I turn on the GPS device I use gps.open() then verify that it's open by gps.opened. Events are handled via the DeviceStateChanged and Location_changed event handlers:
Code Snippet
Private Sub gps_Location_changed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal args As LocationChangedEventArgs)
position = args.Position
Invoke(updateDataHandler)
End Sub
Private Sub gps_DeviceState_Changed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal args As DeviceStateChangedEventArgs)
device = args.DeviceState
Invoke(updateDataHandler)
End Sub
When I want to turn off the GPS device I verify it's still open gps.opened then use gps.close().
So, here is my delima - when I turn off the GPS device and then turn it back on within my app it doesn't seem to be firing the event handlers even though I test that gps.opened is "True" and then use gps.open()? However if I close my app then restart it - all seems to be just fine and the event handlers seem to work just fine.
Anybody have any ideas or experiences with a similar problem, this is in vb.net?
Thanks,
After reading around on some forums it seems that my problem might be related to the phone going into hibernation and turning of the GPS, anyone know how to keep the GPS device on even in hibernation?
I would think that Tom-tom somehow is achieving this so I guess I'm looking for a similar solution. hopefully someone has some insight on how it works.
Thanks.
TW,
At the moment,
I've pointed a button to s2u2 and put there in the settings "don't suspend."
Actually from what I've seen, TomTom prevents the whole device from hibernating.

[Q] gps issue

i am now on kitkat on my note 3 att sm-900a phone.
however, when i search for location in the setting it says that location access is turned off.
when i try to open it then it shows it is set to highest accuracy.
but it is for sure not working as applications like moves fails to work.
i also tried some more apps like dragon assistant to get direction for home and it shows the same error message.
s-health also does not count steps.

How to debug wifi problems?

My i537 has intermittent difficulty connecting to wifi. It will usually connect fine after a fresh boot, but sometime later begins to have trouble connecting.
The behavior when failing is that I click on a network in the Wi-Fi screen, the status says "Connecting..." for about 7 seconds or so, then "Saved Secured".
In an effort to isolate any possible software issues, I did a factory reset to stock NE3 firmware, but the behavior persists.
I have not been able to determine an appropriate troubleshooting path by search. Can anyone help point me in the right direction?
I confirmed that the problem also occurs on open wifis.
I've pulled logcats but I don't really know what I'm looking for, and which specific event types relate to wifi, so there is a lot of other stuff.
I have the same problem with secure networks only, is there any fix?
i537 - rooted
Thank you!

IF statemnent in tasks

I have dificulty understanding the "IF" logic.
I tried to turn off WiFi when the screen turns dark only if I am NOT connected to a WiFi hotspot
I know I can do it by creating two profiles and querying their state, but I thought IF should also work, turns out it does not and I'd like to know why it doesn't
So I thought I'd just trythe IF condition in the task and configure a task that tells me the value of the variable %WIFII by popping up the info, but as you can see in the attached screenshots, WiFi is turned off even allthough the variable has a content matching *CONNECTION*
my phone is a rooted Xperia Z3c running 23.5.A.1.291 stock sony firmware
Any thoughts welcome

2 things:
- maybe 10s is not long enough? have you tried 20?
- on screen off, Android does not seem to always be able to create a Wi-Fi connection successfully.
I have this problem myself, trying to auto turn on Wi-Fi and connect when I get home.
You can try having this run on screen on (even while locked) to test this.
Maybe someone with better knowledge of how Android system works would have a solution for this?
Thank you for your reply
Screenshots show that the WiFi connection is established successfully, I am trying to find out why some variables can bei used in the if query and others cannot
Regarding your Problem, you could try adding a wake up command at the beginning of your task. I use display dim for this purpouse (needs the secure settings or equivalent plugin)

S10 not working with proxy tools such as Charles/Fiddler

Recently got an S10 for a project I'm working on, and tried to connect it to Fiddler, and it's not passing any traffic through there. Also had a search and found this unanswered question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55248595/unable-to-connect-samsung-s10-to-charles-proxy
I used tPacketCapture to see if there was any information there that would help, but wasn't anything useful I could see.
So thought I'd ask in here and see if anyone has any ideas about why this is? and whether there are any workarounds?
