So I've been using MIUI for a long time, as well as Tasker.
Recently, and this may be because I never tampered with these settings in Tasker before, I have noticed that any profile utilizing the "received text" event is completely ignored by Tasker.
I've narrowed down the issue to being associated with my ROM considering everyone else using Tasker has had zero difficulty with this.
Does anyone know what the problem might be/how to fix it?
Thanks in advanced
I have the same problem, seems to be a problem in the ROM. MIUI 1.6.24, HTC Desire Z. I guess MIUI changes the way texts are handled...
No solution for this? :S I have a Motorola Milestone 2 with MIUI and the same problem. Only solution is to stop using MIUI? ;___;
Oddly enough, I implemented a task in Tasker to show Accessibility settings; and it worked. I enabled Tasker and Accesibility in general. That still didn't work. I even did the Superuser app tweak to allow Tasker to monitor calls.
Balls.

I don't know if anyone else has come across this, but it seems that I can't get Tasker to actually stay running in the background - it loads up and allows me to create profiles etc, and after clicking the green tick to apply, the Tasker notification appears (to allow it to stay running), but after a few seconds it disappears. I've tried this both with profiles in the app, and after a clean reinstall of the app with nothing setup, and have the same experience.
I'm going to email a bug report to the developer, but just wanted to see if anyone else had also had this issue, to try and figure out what the cause is.
ROM: MCR Ir4
Tasker Version: 1.1.1u2m

I haven't installed Tasker on my Gnex, but it worked fine on my Nexus S with ICS.

Interesting - I had assumed it was an OS incompatibility, but maybe it's something else...
Tasker works for me on G Nexus
Same here....

Could you tell me - are you both running stock ICS, or a custom ROM?
Stock Galaxy Nexus CDMA
There's a number of threads on the Google support group for Tasker re ICS issues, including notification icon disappearing. Pent's waiting on ICS for his Nexus S to look into it further.
I'm due to receive my GN tomorrow and am a *very* heavy Tasker user so will be interested to see whether I hit any issues..
Either way I have faith that Pent will sort it; he's never let us down before
the icon disappears sometimes for me but when a profile kicks in the icon comes back, so I think it does actually run. For me anyway.

Running fine for me, stock ICS, light usage (very new)
As for alsex87 I only have an icon when a profile is doing something.
Tasker work perfect in my phone.

Works fine on my GN too. Agree with other comments that it comes back when profiles change. So I'm pretty sure it's still running.
Well it's looking good so far for my setup; had to tweak tasks setting volume levels as I moved from an Atrix but everything else seems intact (including deactivating the lock screen when in 'sleep' mode). Will know for sure by the weekend.
Re: the notification icon, I have run in foreground unchecked and no icon showing. Doesn't seem to have had a negative effect so far..
It doesn't work for me. Same thing. Allows me to create a profile, but then keeps crashing.
Won't run at all for me, I was assuming it was an ICS compatibility issue. I kept waiting for an update but when I never got one, I figured I would google it. Well, I found here that it's working for most people, so I don't know what it is that's wrong.
I am a heavy Tasker user too. Just got my profiles installed. The "home" profile (wifi near) activates, then both the Tasker icon and my "home" icon disappear.
As a side question is there an easy way to copy the backup files from an old phones sd card to the Nexus? The SD card folder doesnt show up when I plug into my computer.

I've seen some people leaving it in MTP mode, but I have the best luck transferring files in PTP mode. When you plug it in to a computer, select the various modes by clicking on the USB symbol in the notification tray. Just don't switch it up while moving data.
This isn't immediately pertinent, but Locale (which I'd consider the predecessor to Tasker) seems to work fine. The only problem I have is that I can't split notification volume from ring volume (I silence emails at night but leave ringer on), but that's not Locale's fault as ICS itself doesn't seem to offer the option.

Pent now has ICS - expect reported / found issues to be resolved with the upcoming v1.2 release of Tasker per http://groups.google.com/group/tasker/browse_thread/thread/e3a1ec4dd8e30a0a
Tasker crashes for me when I try to launch it. Running a Sensation with Android 4.0.3.
I just downloaded and setup Llama. So far it has been very handy in letting me adjust my settings based on whether I am at work or home.
However, I attempted to setup an event to toggle GPS on when I open the Maps application and to turn off GPS when I close the application. However, it doesn't do so! It did note that it cannot do this on ICS as the permissions to do so have changed. However, via Google Search, I did find some mention of it working for some people but they didn't say how.
Anyone here able to do that? If so, how? If not, any other suggestions (Tasker?) on how I can accomplish this?
It doesn't work on stock. Use custom ROM like CM.

You probably already got your answer or quit looking by now but you can toggle gps. You need to use the Secure Settings plugin from the Play Store. I think you might need to be a root user to unlock all the functionality as was mentioned before but mine works like a charm now.
Another great find for me was using the Smart Shortcuts app so that when I plug in my headphones, llama turns down my volume to a manageable level and pops up a list of apps (pandora, google music, stitcher...) I use my headphones with. I do the same for when I plug in any USB, it pops up with a link to care home or clock or my alarm app because I'm usually only plugging in at night or in the car.
I just wish I had some other ideas to look through. I'm sure there is a lot more this thing can do that I'm not thinking about.

I think there is an explanation in the app. Google changed how gps could be toggled. I gave up turning off gps a long time ago. It really only uses power when an app requests it and judging by the notification it's not very often. By default llama uses cell towers, but I use wifi to pin point my location. That way my Bluetooth doesn't turn off until I reach my driveway.

I just tested Tasker on my new phone because frankly it's the best app.
However the profiles does not do what I want.
I have a profile putting my volumes low when sleeping, the profile becomes active but the tasks does not apply.
Anyone else with this problem on HTC One X
Sent from my HTC One X.
I dont have that profile, but the profiles I do have work as they should.
In Settings/Security I have Tasker enabled in Device adminstrators, and also in Settings/Accessibility tasker is enabled.
Check the settings is all I can suggest and it should be ok
Yes, I have this checked but still not working.
However I tried different profiles and it does not work.
The profile gets active but as I said it does not change the settings I want it to.
I also tried the test button and it did not work.
Sent from my HTC One X
I also have exactly the same problem.
When you hit the test button to test the list of actions nothing happens. I have enabled tasker in secruty settings and accesibiility settings but still nothing. The profile activates but teh actions are not performed. Does anyone know how to get this working....thanks
I fixed this by using a Trial version. I also looked around the internet, somehow Tasker is thinking that it's a illegal downloaded and locks itself out.
Use AudioGuru, works perfectly

Or try beta: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/beta.html
Or this: http://groups.google.com/group/tasker
Try downgrading to an older version.. I found 1.2 works for me
http://tasker.dinglisch.net/releases/
My phone is almost always switched to silent. But I would love to have calls or notifications from certain vip or priority contacts come through at any given time.
Can anyone recommend an app or procedure on how to achieve that?
I tried 2 apps from the Playstore that promise to achieve that, Priority Notifications Lite and Smart Silent Beta, but both don't seem to work on JB 4.1.1. The first one has UI issues and the 2nd one crashes instantly and isn't updated in months.
I emailed the developers, but maybe someone has meanwhile an existing and working solution already, which I overlooked? I would be very happy with the Thanks button for any recommendations and ideas!

Hey everyone,
I'm having a problem all of a sudden with my rooted S3 on Bell. I have Tasker, LightFlow, and LMT running as accessibility apps, that SHOULD be running when the phone starts. For some reason over the last couple days, when I go into Accessibility Options they say "Off" and of course they're not running. All my Wi-Fi rules for profiles and sounds etc don't work when Tasker isn't running, and of course no custom LED colors either.
They seem to work when I manually start each app, but that's kind of a nuisance to do every time I start the phone.
It's rooted, so it hasn't done any updates recently that could have changed anything, and I'm out of ideas as to why it's not starting these apps by itself.
Any suggestions?

Did you try removing the rules and re-applying them?

Removing the Tasker rules and reapplying them? No I haven't tried that. It's not just Tasker that's having issues, its every program that should be running in accessibility mode.

It's a shot in the dark, I haven't seen your issue before.
