Hi. Is it possible to get tasker to automatically activate Three's ThreeInTouch app when dialing a number? I have a non three phone (Oneplus 3T) so the app doesn't kick in when I dial a number instead you have to go into the app and dial from there.
I'm quite a novice to taksker.
I have never heard of this app, but after some research, it appears to be an app specific to a UK service provider. The point being to provide Wi-Fi calling when the cell signal is low and Wi-Fi is present.
Tasker can certainly open the app, but you need to define the conditions when it should. Always when wifi connected? Only when a certain wifi connected?
The way I would attempt to emulate the integrated behavior would be to create a tasker widget that is used to access the dialer replacing the use of the phone dialer launcher. The task associated with the widget would contain the logic to determine which of the two dialers (phone or three inTouch) should be launched.

Does anyone know of a widget I can use to switch roaming mode between "automatic" and "force roaming?" I'm running Viper 1.1 with nova launcher. I tried to dig out the settings shortcut but they dont have the option to select "mobile data." I also tried to use a nova launcher "activity" but I couldn't find that shortcut either- I dont think mobile data is a usable activity. I have beautiful widgets installed but you cannot set up a switch for that.
I'm thinking it would need to be a specific app cause none of the other routes I've tried has yeilded a workable solution (currently I have a settings shorcut and I navigate to mobile data, select roaming and then force it... booo)
...My apartment is perfectly placed that its too weak for receiving calls on sprint signal but not quite weak enough to reliably switch to roaming (full bars roaming and able to receive calls) Its really annoying and I've missed a ton of calls because of this. (I did talk to sprint about an airave and they want to charge $10 a month for access...ONTOP of buying the damn thing... to augment their ****ty signal? Get real.)
super annoying.
Roam Control does a great job, although I'm guessing you don't really want to buy an app that essentially duplicates your ROM's functionality.

I actually had looked into that app but it didn't seem to fit what I was looking for... I'll check it out again
I just downlaoded "secure settings" and in that app I enabled "helper" (root required). Then you can press and hold on the mainscreen to make a "shortcut" and select secure settings, then you can select "data roaming" in the helper menu which is now enabled. Then you'll have to download an Icon pack (free) which the app directs you too (there are tons to match just about any theme). You can name the widget, pick the icon, save and...
...It didn't work. I'm going to keep working at it... Will update if I find anything.

Roam Control comes with a pretty simple 4x1 widget that lets you toggle between Home, Automatic, and Roaming. That's the end of that as far as Roam Control's widgets go. You can also create a Tasker task to toggle Roam Control and use Tasker's widgets if you want.
Secure Settings is great, but Data Roaming is not at all what you want. Data Roaming simply allows you to use mobile data (3G/4G) when you're already on a roaming provider.
Tasker and Roam Control together come close to $10 (at least, they did when I picked them up-- I think that Tasker now is actually $3.49), but I now have a profile that checks every half hour for the phone's service state. If the signal received is below a certain threshold (10% of optimum), the phone switches to roam, so long as a call is not active. If you get Roam Control and it works for you (can't see why it wouldn't, it does for me), I can package my profile as a separate APK and send it to you for use.

Thank you! I'll have to look into tasker, I could only find "not roam control" in the market, Is RC only availible via paypal on the devs website? I keep hearing about tasker and it sounds like a powerful tool that I really need to look into. I'll take a look at it and see if I cant figure it out, I may end up taking you up on your offer- I'll let you know.
*edit* looks like RC keeps getting pulled from the market... I'll look into it further. weird.
What you said about secure settings was a thought I had in the back of my mind after it didn't work... to bad, but still a nice little utility.

Unfortunately so, after Google pulled Roam Control from the market. And Tasker has a learning curve, but it's incredibly rewarding once you learn to use it-- and it's much less complicated than many people make it sound. If you choose to use Roam Control, let me know and I can package up my roam check routine (it'll work without Tasker).

GrooVeIP is an excellent program, but holding an open Wi-Fi connection can be a hit to your battery life, and no matter what codec I used the other party always felt I sounded a bit hazy. But it certainly is a good option if you're in a signal-less area for long periods of time (especially in teh basement of buildings).
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.
So, I searhed and the only thing that pops up about this is about a year old.
MyQ makes chamberlain and liftmaster garage door openers open by using their app on your smarthphone.
What I would like to do is create a task that triggers based off my proximity (location) to arriving home for my garage to automatically open.
I see that people were able to achieve something to this affect a year ago, but it seems that myQ has locked down this functionality.
Can anyone elaborate or help with a solution to this? I would be fine with using my android smartwatch to trigger a tasker profile too.
Thanks in Advance!

I have been using Tasker with MyQ for my watch and shortcuts and it had been working great until someone at MyQ decided to disable that function. Now they figured they can make a buck by charging you for that function. I haven't came across any work arounds yet but if you or anyone else know of a way to get Tasker to work with MyQ again. Please let us know.
Why not just revert to an older version of the app? If version 3.83 is old enough, then it's available on apkmirror.com. Make sure to turn off auto updates for the app in the play store.

i may be wrong, but i think they actually setup the paywall by when you hit their server to login with your credentials... So I don't "think" an older version of the app would help. (i could be wrong)?
I take it then that this works by your logging into their server which then sends a packet to the opener via the internet?
Can you sniff the network and grab what the command is the opener is looking for, then mimic that directly to the opener?

I am trying to toggle my mobile data. Don't know how to get the current state of network access. Plus, phone not rooted either. Any way to accomplish what I want,?
It's not clear what you're looking for. Do you want to know if you are connected to wifi in order to turn off mobile data (which doesn't work on all phones/ROMs)?
"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." - Will Rogers
I simply want an alternative to toggling mobile data via the notifications drawer. The network access task has 4 states. I am only interested in "allow all" and "deny all".
In order to toggle I need to know what state it's initially in... that's all.
It sounds like you are working from a tasker tutorial. Could you either post the task or link to it.
You're talking about the network access ACTION used inside a task ?
Then you are turning access to the network on/off for apps rather than toggling the mobile data on/off?
"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." - Will Rogers
I can't post links because of rep. Google "network access Tasker". You should get the Tasker guide page.
To simplify. Say I have set the network access to "deny all" via some task. In a different task, I want to read that setting. How do I do that?
Hope I have made clear atleast now...
The only link that comes up is Tasker's user manual page for network access. That action turns on/off network access to apps either some or all. It won't matter if you're on wifi or mobile data.
I think the only way you can know the state is to set a variable in the task when it toggles on, then, if that variable is set, toggle off. Part of that toggle-off process should be to clear the variable.
If what you are looking to do is toggle mobile data (without root), then AutoApps plug-ins for Tasker is a way to go. AutoTools has a secure plugin that *may* be able to just do a simple toggle for you. Else AutoInput can "script" the touch sequences to toggle the quick tile.

Tried scripting with AutoInput. But I can't swipe backward from my notification drawer to get to the required place. AutoApps and AutoTools - I am just not clear as to what is the payment model these apps have at the moment. If you could demystify them it would be great.
Ps: the phone I use is Moto G4 Play.

I must be having a senior moment I'm not sure what swiping backwards from the notification drawer means. Are you trying to get to the next page of quick tiles?
It's been awhile since I installed AutoTools. I seem to think that you install it for 30 days with everything unlocked, then pay for the plugin(s) you actually use.

Hi,
I am wondering if there is any way to toggle wifi calling setting on certain conditions.
I can't find any thing like that in the tasker app.
I am using Samsung note 8 with oreo.
Thanks.
There used to be an app or two in the play store that were plug-ins for tasker to help with this. They seem to be gone though.
I'm not aware of an intent (maybe it would be carrier specific and not excluded via intents?).
So that kinda leaves auto input as the defacto solution.
