Airplane Mode radios dependend on what is turned on/off - Tasker Tips & Tricks
Hello dear community,
I've been trying to get Tasker to put my phone into airplane mode, but dependend on what type of connections are active, it should keep certain radios on or turn them off dynamically. So, for example if I am connected to Wifi, it should keep Wifi on but turn the rest off. If I now turn Bluetooth on as well, it should change the airplane mode radios to keep Bluetooth and Wifi on. Same for cell/Service. Is that somehow realisable? Maybe with ifs and elses? I am open for ideas
Yes, you just need to define the logic flow. The action to use is probably Airplane Radios.
You could easily have a single task, with multiple instances of the Airplane Radios action, each with an if statement(s) that defines what condition should be met before it runs. For example, "if *%WIFI ~ off AND %BLUE !~ off" then the Airplane Radios action with turning off the wifi radio and leaving the BT radio on would be run.

Hey, it's me again. First thank you very much for the response. I managed to make the profile work with WiFi and cell service, but Bluetooth still shuts down even though by the if statement it shouldn't. What I did was I put as condition airplane mode on and as tasks: if Wifi on then airplane mode radios Bluetooth on cell on nfc on Wifi off wimax on. Same for cell but with Wifi on and cell off. For Bluetooth i did the same with Bluetooth off and the rest on. Where did I made the mistake? Or is Bluetooth a Problem on Nougat? Thanks in advance and greetings.
Please post your profile. Make sure it's named - not a default name assigned by tasker. To name the profile if it isn't already, long press on the name to highlight the profile and, at the top, tap the square with the A.
Then long press on the name to highlight the profile. Go to the 3-dot menu and select export -> Description to Clipboard.
Now you'll be able to paste it. Be aware, it easier to use pastebin and link to a post here. If you paste in a post here, the forum software will convert all semicolons with characters directly after to emoticons making it very hard to read.

BTStatus and WiFiStatus are set to 1 when BT and WiFi are connected and are set to 0 if not connected.
Edit: I changed the condition to display off, still no change. WiFi and cell work while BT doesn't and shuts down although I have my BT headphones connected and BTStatus is on 1.
A7 turns off the BT radio whether it's connected or not. Maybe you should add a "AND %BTStatus !~ 1" condition.

That did the trick. You really helped me out there. I literally thought I must be stupid, but I just couldn't figure out where the profile went wrong. Thank you and I appreciate your time and effort.
And it's me (again...). So, the profile worked fine until I had to reboot my phone. I didn't change anything on that task, I just updated Tasker. And now the profile shuts Bluetooth down again. Any ideas on that or is it buggy?
Whenever a profile is not functioning as expected, you need to post the full profile description (as before). You should also grab a Tasker log covering the activation and execution of the profile.

This is the profile. And the log is in the Attachment.
I don't know what OS version you are using, but the intangible objects secure settings plug-in is obsolete starting at marshmallow. What are you trying to use from it?
Also make sure Tasker is whitelisted in greenify.
You've posted the task, but what triggers the task; something from secure settings? That top level profile (that includes the triggering context) is what is helpful to post. It includes the task as well.

So, this was a test run to see if it was a BT problem, a secure settings problem or a problem in the logic flow. I am on Nougat and as you said, secure settings is obsolete. So I changed that up to custom settings and ticked use Root to ensure proper execution (also used ADB to give Tasker WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission). I also later tried with the integrated Tasker option for the airplanemode radios. It still turns off Bluetooth when entering airplane mode, although I explicitly told Tasker not to do so if connected. This is the log of the test where I turned all profiles off but not the airplanemode radio one and the BT Status one.
In your log, it looks like you have battling profiles. Energiesparmodus seems to be taking action on airplane mode as well as Flugmodus.
To effectively troubleshoot this, you really should disable all profiles except the one you are focused on.
Additionally, it looks like Energiesparmodus is setting power saving on Tasker on screen of and is running prior to Flugmodus.

Ok, before I test the rest: I have to turn the airplane mode on first then turn on energy saving mode? In the same profile?

Forbidden bluetooth off
Hello, I have a big zerolemmon battery so i don't care about using it with bluetooth alway on I don't know why sometime (randomly) my phone turn off BT, so for the moment i set bluetooth on when my launcher is open ... Anyone has a better idea to keep bluetooth alway on ? (with or without tasker) I am root Thanks for your help.
Use Tasker to add a periodic check on BT status, and if off, then turn on again?
This is how I have used Tasker to perform the same result: Code: Profile: BT Check (43) Restore: no State: BT Status [ Status: Off ] Enter: Enable BT (86) A1: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:30 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ] A2: Bluetooth [ Set: On ] In order to set the RESTORE to NO, once you have set your profile and your task, long click on the profile and select settings from the top bar. Can also see attached profile xml. The wait action is also important, as it will prevent Android from disabling the BT instantenously. It might be because Android has a cool-off period once BT status is changed in order to ebable/disable the service.
Thanks mate, i add your profil on m'y phone. I'll tell you if it's fine in some days but it seems to be perfect.
Works perfect Thanks again

Is it locked with the display on or off? Tasker is weird sometimes when the screen is off. You can wake the screen with Secure Settings.
Have you disabled battery optimization for tasker? Tried using reliable alarms in preferences? "Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." - Will Rogers

Hi all, I'm using phone profile plus on Android, and it's work very well, but it's quite limited... So I want to test Tasker BUT I don't know why my profile didn't start automatically... I want to have, for example very easy, one task for the day and on exit another one for one profile.

I tried to change manually the time to see what happen, but even if i apply the changing, nothing happen, and sometimes it's work... But most of the time nothing!! I have allowed all permission for Tasker, same for power save etc... What's wrong? Please help me! Edit : hum I have understand why it didn't work... But please what can I do to have profile 1) profile 7 to 22 : task A 2) profile 22 to 7 : task B When I tried that, I have two profile activated... Thanks
For example now... Profile not activated, why??...

Tasker Mute call if unknown Contact
Is there a way to use Tasker to mute calls from numbers not in my contacts?
Yes, I end the call if not in my contacts which effectively just seems them to voice mail. The end call action is not guaranteed to work on all devices, but you could exchange it for a action to lower the audio -> ringer volume. In the following profile, I use a variable %CallBusy, to prevent disconnecting if I'm actively in a call. This variable is set in a separate profile that just looks if the phone is off hook. Profile: Unknown Caller Disconnect Event: Phone Ringing [ Caller:!C:ANY ] State: Variable Value [ %CallBusy !~ true ] Enter: End Call A1: End Call A2: Variable Set [ Name:%CallerEnded To:%CNUM Recurse Variables: Off Do Maths: Off Append: Off Max Rounding Digits:0 ] A3: Flash [ Text:Just blocked caller %CallerEnded Long: On ]
