I'm definitely a Tasker noob but some time ago i had it all set up:
Skype would close after a set time. (Using the Tasker's timer widget).
After some months I wanted to use it again and it's not working anymore :/
Any ideas?

A quick run down of what works and what doesn't.
1. Can send and receive calls via the watch. (then I changed my ringtone to "Knightrider")
2. Can send, receive, and reply to SMS via watch, send by using premade templates or Svoice typing (although not easy to switch between the two on the fly)
3. Can receive most notifications from APPS when selected
-cannot receive TASK notifications from calendar for some odd reason, so if i set up a task like "remind me in 5 minutes to brush my teeth" i get no reminder on the watch, but i do on the phone. This really makes me mad.
4. Can create appointments in calendar, but cannot set an appointment reminder. Note 3 has no default reminder setting, so if i use S voice on the watch to set a calender appointment, i will not get a reminder about it. This really makes me mad.
5. Cannot use Svoice to launch navigator from watch, but can from phone. This really makes me mad.
6. Can set an alarm using Svoice from watch, but cannot name the alarm. This makes me mad seeing as options 3 and 4 arent working either!!
-conclusion, no way for me to talk to watch and be reminded by watch and phone
7. went from 100% battery to 40% battery in 21 hours with heavy use. (3 phone calls, constant fiddling, media remote, tv remote, Sleep app, lots of testing)
8. Can control playback of currently selected playlist on phone via Media remote, with forward and backward skipping. Cannot select music on phone in any manner. This makes me mad too!
9. Watch on works great for controlling basic TV functions. There is no guides of any sort on watch for programs.
That should answer some of the questions that i had initially before my purchase but could not find. If anyone has any questions about functions ask and i will provide what i can.
10. When two notifications come in at the same time there is no way to view both without going to notifications app.
11. Cannot reply to email notifications
12. there is no Auto brightness setting, you must manage this manually
13. Svoice will not "Read the news" due to this function is not available
14. Dismissing a notification on the watch also dismisses the notification on the phone
15. deleting a notification on the watch does not delete it from the phone
16.You cannot set a "Location" reminder from Svoice on the watch, only a standard task reminder.
17. The wrist gesture is not very strict. My screen goes on unintentionally all the time. The minimum screen timeout is 10 seconds.
4. FIX - To make calendar reminders default to a value, you need to remove "My Calendar" and "Samsung Calendar" from the calendar app, instead only use Google calendar, when you use svoice to make an event, the google calendar will automatically add your predefined reminder.

This was a great run down! :good::good:
--especially since I was waiting to get my Neo, which finally arrived yesterday.
Question --where is the sleep app?
I hunted high and low and can't find it. (Either I am going blind or I need to do something to get it! I thought I saw somewhere in these XDA threads where someone had to download an update to enable or get sleep app, but I have the latest gear manager (updated yesterday when I setup the Neo).
My NEO software version is ANCD, (that is the only thing I am thinking could be the issue!)
Thank's in advance for any assistance
EDIT: SLEEP.APK OK I had to manually update the Neo's rom via Kies3 (after DL/Installing Kies3, plugged in the Neo and Kies discovered a software update. I went from Neo Rom NCD to ND8.) After the update, I had the Sleep app in apps!

Hello Guys,
I've always used a simple automation to read from whom my whatsapp messages are while I was with my headphones and walking on the streets or the subway. It's useful for me to know if I might have to stop to read any of those or if I could just leave for later.
The events are:
Notification - Whatsapp
Headset plugged - Any
The action is:
Say %NTITLE
But recently, due to a whatsapp or Android 6 upgrade, this not always read the last notification title, but the first unread notification I got in whatsapp. For example, if I get a message from person A and then 3 messagens from person B, it would say 4 times message from person A.
I've tried the %evtprm2 variable as well. Does any one know of a way to fix this issue?
Thanks!
Hi,
Maybe you can look into AutoNotification: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autonotification
It gives you a lot more info on notifications, but I'm not sure if it can solve your problem. Make sure you open AutoNotification, and click 'Enable Notification Intercept'. Then create a new Event profile in Tasker: Plugin --> AutoNotification --> Intercept.
Hope this helps!
I'm using a third party app to read notifications by voice. There are many apps available on play store for this purpose.

Tasker can do a multitude of things to your phone, and it has done this for me over the years. Even before Android had automatic rules for Do Not Disturb, Tasker ensured my phone wouldn't disturb me while I got my beauty sleep. At show time, Tasker would set my phone to silent, ensuring my Fantasmic ring tone didn't blare out in a live broadcast. When I was getting in the car, Tasker recognized the Bluetooth head unit and executed a task that would turn off my Wi-Fi and turn on my music.
Before Google Assistant put so many commands at my fingertips, Tasker and AutoVoice — a third-party plugin that allows users to program specific voice commands for our tasks — combined to give me vital hands-free commands, and when it combined with Moto Voice on my Moto X, it felt like actual magic.
The Tasker use that keeps me around, however, is my Tasker + Google Play Music alarm clock. This alarm profile and task brings back the convenience and nostalgia of my old CD and iPod alarm clocks, turning back on my current Google Play Music queue rather than playing the old song or alarm tone day after day after day.
Reminder app of the watch 3 is terrible.
When i create a reminder with these settings:
time: (whatever)
repear: every day.
When the specified time comes, i press complete to show me the next day's reminder (because it is for every day) the task dissapears and i have to create it from the start.
Even if i dont press complete, it still shows the old time of the reminder.

The reminder app is broken. Just check out the reviews on the Galaxy Store. Reminders don't go off at all, and it doesn't seem to be able to distinguish one day from another, it's why I stopped using it. How can a simple app like this be so bad?
You are better off setting an alarm directly on the watch, or if you want a specific text based reminder, then set a reminder on your phone (preferably with a 3rd part app) and receive its notification on your watch.
.
I am moving from Google Reminders to Google Tasks (given that as on 6 March the former will disappear), but I am not getting sound for the Tasks notifications. Tried deleting cache, data, uninstalling/reinstalling, to no avail.
Anyone here with my same problem? This seems to be random.
Oh gosh, I am trying again and for the last time: is there anyone who can test this?
thx

I don't think many people in this community use Google Tasks. Hence why no one has said anything.
Have you tried adjusting notification settings for the app? Also check to see if the app is on the autostart list. Some of my apps stopped giving reliable notifications when I took them off the list.

I have tried everything and considering that as of 06 MArch Google is goinf to automatically migrate REMINDERS to TASKS, thsi is annoying.
TASKS is set to run at startup, and its notifications are enabled with sound and battery optimization is off.
Problem is that I do receive a notification but without sound, actually things are ever worst:
1. Install CALENDAR and TASKS and enable TASK notifications in both CALENDAR and TASKS
2. create three TASKS (ACTIVITIES) one after the other 2 minutes apart: the first notification arrives from TASKS with sound, the others without sound
3. uninstall and reinstall TASKS and enable the notifications of the TASKS (ACTIVITIES) both in CALENDAR and in TASKS
4. create only one TASK (ACTIVITY) in 2 minutes: notification arrives from TASKS with sound
5. change the TASK (ACTIVITY) by moving the time forward two minutes: the notification arrives from TASKS but without sound
If I have only CALENDAR installed, the notifications of the TASK (ACTIVITIES) arrive instead from CALENDAR and always with the sound.
Could you pls run these tst for me, with both CALENDAR and TASKS isntalled and then only with CALENDAR installed?
