Hello people,
I don't know if anyone else is experience this but I thought I mention it. Also I apologise if this is the incorrect place to start this thread, but I have looked on xda for a tasker dedicated section for troubleshooting.
Now I have a automated WIFI profile that basically enables whenever I load a specific app. But for some strange reason it does not always execute, when a specific app does load and other times it does?
Does anyone else notice this strange behaviour going on with tasker?
If so is it a bug that needs reporting or is there something wrong with my profile?
Thanks in advance!
In Tasker settings/preferences/monitor put to "Always" the Use Reliable Alarms option.

It seems the profile triggers, but not the task.

You can test the Task by manually executing it. Maybe you're using a plug-in that requires permissions to run.

If I run the task manually everything executes just fine.
The task does use one plugin and thats for secure settings, but thats about it.
UPDATE: I think I might know what the problem is, and I think that tasker is unable to wake the device to execute the task, so I added a wake device action in my task and see if this works.
In LL and MM there is battery optimization where Tasker and Secure Settings should be excluded. Other 3rd party battery saving apps might also affect the operation of Tasker and its plugins.

This is true I had taken the advice from here >
As far as I am aware tasker and it's plugins are whitelisted from other 3rd party on my device, so I still don't understand why it still does not work unless I add the wake device action from secure settings.
Any luck on this? I'm noticing that tasker is very slow to execute any actions outside of the app. Meaning, if I create a task that simply has one step..."beep". Next, add that task as a shortcut to my nova launcher desktop. Click the shortcut...it takes almost 30seconds for it to execute the beep. I've been a tasker user for years. Not sure why this lag is occurring.
Tried this...
Tasker is not battery optimized.
Reinstalled Tasker.
rooted Pixel, 7.1.1
I have the same problem with my periodical Wi-Fi check.I have to add the 1 second CPU wake, but it's still not very reliable.maybe the best way to get over this is turning on the screen, but this is kind of defeat the purpose for me so....
any other suggestion?

There is one thing that you can try go to Tasker > preferences > misc and untick reduce resource usage.

I have tried the screen wake function, but even then it doesn't work.
I did notice however that Google connectivity was causing issues for me, such as not able to connect to my ap automatically.

Hi.
Tasker beta updated recently to 4.8 and support new tile for
CM quick settings
So
i create this thread
to post and explore new profiles
I follow many projects from google and reddit
So i have set profiles for automate gps to high accuracy and back with secure settings
Vpn connect on wifi except secure point
Usb debuging only when i connect to certain pc (and just in case) when shutdown my device beacause i use encryption
Send sms to caller when driving
But most usefulls profiles found how to auto change cm profiles based taskers options cell near or wifi near bt near location etc...
CM detect profiles and CM profiles changer found to reddit are great jobs???
i expand my usage to CM profiles options
Based to these variables tasker upgrade all my device capabilites
Whats yours?

Just the data I have left until the end of the month. I have that side set up but I just need to know where I can find the variable that allows me to tell tasker that the screen has been unlocked and not just that it's on

Tasker
%myDISPLAY is similar to the %SCREEN variable in Tasker, but it adds unlocked as a possible value, allowing us to differentiate between on and unlocked. These values are set based on the corresponding Tasker Events, and can be used as a Context (using Variable Value), or for flow control within Tasks.
Both of these didn't work. Maybe it's because I'm on the lg g4 and not on aosp

Tasker recognize unlock as event so
Add a profile/event/display/unlock
Make a simple task to check if working
If work you can create a flow action
So monitor when device unlock (one profile)
And change variable value
and execute the desire task.(second profile) when new value set

Did you try secure settings?
On Lolipop I have problem with mobile data dont automatic connect when I am out of wifi area.
Is there any way for tasker to solve this problem, I buy it last night, but its littly too complicated for me.
So something like this, when out of wifi area, connect to 3g, when in wifi area disconnect 3g.

From main menu if expand profile you see the task you create
Tap to task and create exit task the opposite
But is known bug?
to @Sultanxda because automate data/wifi is main function of device
Did you post? Have you done clean installation?
I known its the main funcion od device, but I have trouble with every ROM on lolipop with this. Clean install, delete all apn create new, works one day ok, then same problem.
Thank you, will try to do this.
Google remove tasker from playstore
Available only from here
So I just discovered the magical world of tasker, and am loving it! Totally worth the money, and one of the best apps to have (the best if you know how to maximise its use)! I have been experimenting a bit with it, so I don't have many profiles. I'm sure many folks here will be using tasker and would be having some great profiles, so I'm looking forward to hearing some suggestions! The profiles I use are:
1. WiFi off at night, from 00:45 to 08:00, except WhatsApp, Play Store, Quora
2. Airplane mode at night, from 00:30 to 07:00
3. Use of interactive CPU governor when using Real Racing 3, and revert to lionfish governor after exiting app(Kernel adiutor profiles do this for me). I also added a condition to use auto-rotate when playing the game, and revert to portrait orientation after closing the app.
4. Auto-sync every two hours, from 08:00 to 20:00 (I would like to improve this to auto-sync only Gmail, would welcome suggestions on how to do this from any tasker experts out here )
I would love to implement more profiles and automate my phone, so looking for ideas.
Need a tasker profile which can disable my mobile data only for some specific apps.it means If I start those apps then my mobile data would automatically disabled and when I close them Data service should be enbled.If u can help on this then That wud be very helpfull
Nothing very fancy for me - right now just have it turning on my wifi hotspot when it detects my car's bluetooth connection so my stereo can use the internet.
It sounds like you are taking it pretty far, @varunadi. You should check out https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker for more cool ideas.

I don't know if you can disable mobile data entirely (not just background which Android can do already) for just certain apps.
Perhaps it would be easier to use something like Netguard.
I've never used it but the description says "Applications can individually be allowed or denied access to your Wi-Fi and/or mobile connection."

Can't the secure settings plugin be used for that purpose? Toggle data on/off I mean.

I was actually going to suggest that as I have it installed already but when I tried it didn't work.
The "Mobile data" toggle was unavailable because it claims I don't have root. However, I'm definitely rooted and there's no listing (saying denied or otherwise) in SuperSU for Secure Settings so it didn't even ask for root. I'm not too surprised as SS hasn't been updated in over a year and a lot of the Play Store comments mention mobile data toggle specifically not working either (among other things). Too bad as it was pretty powerful and of course I think I paid for it right after its last update.
Not getting SS working for me might just be my problem and perhaps someone else can get it going.
I was also going to suggest [APP][2.2+][ROOT] Toggle Data 5.0 (xda-exclusive free version) but then I read more about what @anks095 said which was "can disable my mobile data only for some specific apps" so I'm guessing he just wants certain apps restricted and not all (although the next sentence seems to say otherwise but I might be reading it incorrectly). I'm not too sure that can be done via Tasker/SS - my guess is that it's an "all-or-nothing" kinda thing for mobile data so the VPN thing might be the only way.
I use a similiar app called automagic but some of the things that I got my tasker like program to do are: lockscreen enable/disable through wi-fi at trusted places (don't like geofencing due to battery), when connected to the bluetooth of my car. Auto silent 5 min before a meeting, but if not connected to my smartwatch then vibrate. And lastly sms emergency location request where my family can send a keyword and my phone will automatically send location.

How is the lockscreen one working for you? I find the built-in SmartLock to be really unreliable but when I tried to do lockscreen stuff before (last year) there was some bug in either Tasker or Secure Settings that would sometimes keep your screen black with just the nav buttons visible present. I'll have to re-try now.
That sms emergency request thing sounds cool! Can the recipient open the location in Maps to see exactly where you are?
Without issues I set it so that it clears the password. Makes it so that I have to swipe to unlock. As for the location, yes it sends coordinates and the user in the other end taps it to bring up Google maps.

Thank you very much - clearing the password was the key! I had been trying before to disable the keyguard entirely so I wouldn't even have to swipe but that's where the problem/bug came in. Thinking about it that makes more sense to have at least a swipe because I'd end up calling people from my pocket by mistake. So thanks again!
Tasker...hmmm. Bought it, but much to complicated for me. Macrodroid is much easier to understand and can also do complicated automation with a normal user friendly interface. I tried to like Tasker, but the more and more I tried the more stupid I felt.
On my S7 edge, I have Tasker setup usibg Auto Notification to have menus pop up while navigating to allow easy switch between music and navigation screens. For some reason, this causes Tasker to not monitor switching between apps properly, and some plugins like autoshare and even auto notification don't work properly. Tasker basically doesn't work right for several minutes and then it finally catches up and everything starts happening at once. I could really use help with this, it's annoying when Tasker does things 30 minutes after it was supposed to happen at the wrong times.
Is "use reliable alarms" set to always?

My heaviest Tasker use is in my car mode....always navigating with Google Maps. I have a ton of profiles which monitor both apps and notifications to make many decisions...with some extremely complex tasks attached.
Everything usually works fine. But sometimes I make a bad task that loops indefinitely, or I have a root or accessibility problem, or for some reason an error occurs in my programming....those kinds issues usually cause major lag or profiles don't fire at all.
I would think that Tasker itself is probably performing as expected and there is an error (or a method that could be better) in your profiles. My advice is to save a run log and review line by line.

Reliable alarms was set to never. Could that have been my issue? I know for a fact it's Tasker that's the problem cause when I go into Tasker after being on the home screen it still thinks I'm in the maps app. Or the music app. I've reviewed all my tasks very carefully.

Didn't end up changing much, at least not yet. See I have a profile for Google maps, Google Music, and home screen so that whenever one of these becomes active, I get a flash popup telling me what app is open. Whenever I start navigation it's like Tasker stops monitoring which app is open. Autoshare stops working too. Whenever I go to use an autoshare action, I get an error. But then that action ends happening later on, even after it gives out an error. I'm not sure what to do.
Maybe you're experiencing a reported conflict with google play services as described in this thread

Not sure. It only seems to happen when Google maps is running but even when I do big tasks E.G moving big files using ES File explorer, still seems to cause tasker to struggle. So I'm not sure what to think but I wish it would work properly.
Hi
I have installed on my phone the app audio profiles with a tasker plugin
I've created a tasker profile that turn my phone on vibration mode when I'm in a particular location, but now how can I disable vibration when I leave this particular location? Which kind of profile I must create?
If you profile is GPS or cell location then surely you just need to create an exit task. So once the profile isn't true it'll run the exit task, which you can determine what is in there.
Thanks.
So, if I understand, I have to simply long press on my profile (vibration mode) and choose "Add exit activity".
Then after choosen the exit activity my phone will run this activity when I will be not anymore in the profile's location?

Hold on the current entry task and this will give you an option to add in the exit task, so either create new or choose an existing one. Hope you get it sorted out [emoji106]

hello, i am trying to make a tasker profile that opens a specific application (apk) when the speed drops below 4 kmh only with the GPS because i do not have any sensors. Unfortunately I am still not able to set the variables in the Speed well and if I need a secure setting plugin for the GPS. Can you lead me towards success or advise me how to get started? Thank you

something I found but it does not work in practice.
Quit scratching your head trying to remember how to configure Tasker and use my initial Tasker configuration checklist!
Features include a bullet list of configuration and setting preference I typically use when I installing Tasker on a wiped or new device.

Enjoy!

Hey there! Unfortunately I do not... I wish there was though! If you are rooted there is always TiBu, I used to just do that until I stopped rooting my devices a few years ago. Thanks for reading my post!
when you create a task and go to Tasker action, there is something called Set Tasker Pref. You can use this to set different aspects of Tasker configuration, isn't this what you want?
