I seem to be having issues running Tasker on CM10. It doesn't crash and it says the profiles are running but it doesn't do anything.
Is anyone rocking the Tasker on CM10?
Thanks.

Works fine over here on CM10. Enabling/Disabling GPS doesn't work, but silencing the phone on a schedule and opening Spotify when headphones are plugged in works just fine.

Interesting... I'm trying to increase the brightness every time I use YouTube and gallery. I will double check.

Create a Profile that activates when the app is started, ending when the application exits. Start task should be auto brightness off, set brightness to 255. End task just turns auto brightness back on.

How is your task set up? And it also works to enable lux auto brightness at night so I would assume it can adjust brightness overall.

If your screen is set to auto brightness, you need to turn that off before it can be manually adjusted. Your profile should look something like this:
Starting YouTube:
Auto brightness: Off
Brightness: 255
Ending YouTube:
Auto brightness: On

I did what you said and it does not work. I even turn the auto screen off and ran it with no success.
I should try other profiles to see if it is me not knowing how to create them or the app or something.
What other profiles do you find yourself running.

I haven't made one yet but I'll probably make an auto sync toggle profile to sync mail, etc. I've been looking for some battery savers but last time I tried to disable data a la JuiceDefender I stopped receiving texts for some weird reason.
That's odd. I know for a fact the brightness adjustments work. I'm using the latest CM10. I just built a profile for the YouTube app and it works as expected.
Check attached images. Also, be sure the profile is enabled (green check mark), and that Tasker is on (On button, bottom right corner of screen).

What bothers me is that when I open YouTube, Tasker says that is running the profile but the screen brightness does not change at all. I will reinstall and see if it works and let you know.
I'm running CM10 8-14 version as it runs smooth with no flickering. I'm also running Justin bean inverted g apps, could that be the problem?

In your latest post with attachments, post #11, here is what you are telling Tasker to do:
1: When YouTube app starts, Autobrightness Off (don't know what this task contains, as there is no screenshot of it).
2. When YouTube app closes, Brightness set to 255.
Your profile still doesn't match my attached pictures on page one (or you haven't uploaded new screenshots). Make it identical to mine.
If it still doesn't work, I suspect its your version of CM10. Update it. I know that's not the answer you want, but if the above doesn't work, that's the only one left.

That's for all the help but it didn't work and I did exactly as you suggested. Take a look. It shows as running but it is not turning off the auto brightness. I have tried turning it manually before running the Tasker with no success.
I guess I'll just give it another try once I update the cm10 but I'm happy with the older version and wouldn't want to risk getting all the problem(flickering, echoes, call delay) present on the newer versions.
What version are you on?

Always running the latest version. Echoes and call delay were fixed last week. The only flickering that bothers me, is that when I exit certain applications (like Apparatus), the screen has a brightness seizure for a couple seconds. The other flickers look like a redraw; nitpicking. You can always nandroid the current install.

yeah in my GPS on/off profile it always spazzes out at random intervals. and even though i have the profiles connected to cell towers and not GPS or Net, im pretty convinced it's somehow draining my battery. i had no real issues with CM10 (aside from the documented flicker and call delay) until i installed and started trying to use Tasker. now the GPS is glitchy, the vibration turns on/off at random times, so does the wifi and worst yet, actual cell reception gets knocked out altogether. i've triple checked my settings and i know it's not the profiles themselves. i really hope the stable version of CM10 will play nice with Tasker because its such a sweet app.
For GPS, install Secure Settings. It's free and in Play Store. Never have an issue with it controlling GPS from Tasker.

Is the screen brightness supposed to drastically change when auto brightness is enable. I've been playing around with it and noticed that when auto brightness is enable the screen will drastically change in different lighting conditions (with a couple second delay) For example, ill walk into a darker room the screen will get a lot dimmer after a couple of seconds and v-versu. The reason I asked is that my eco 4g would gradually adjust to point t where I didn't even notice.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I've noticed it rapidly changing like it can't decide a few times, and overall it's a bit too dim outdoors. Coming from an Evo as well and I never noticed it changing either.
Just going to keep an eye on it, not a huge issue for me. Might see if there's any way to override and manually specify the auto brightness thresholds.
There's a second setting called "Auto adjust screen power" further down on the display page - it could be that. It's some sort of thing that analyzes what's actually on the screen and tries to adjust for it.
I think it may just be a samsung thing. I have a Galaxy Tab 7" and I noticed that it was doing this as well, and it drove me crazy. I just went into settings>display>brightness and turned it down manually to just under halfway indoors and if I know Im going outside, i turn it all the way up.
Ive also noticed thst it was auto adjusting even when i had it disabled which was probablt the "power adjustment" thing... But once i caught it turning the brightness down to "prevent overheating"!?

Really?! Thats bizarre. I wonder if it will constantly have the screen down while wireless tether is running.

Thanks. I also have auto adjust disabled. Since others are seeing it then I assume its a Samsung thing. Ill wait to see if others confirm. BTW this may just be me being a geek. I notice every little thing. The other is that the buttons at the bottom of the phone aren't as sensitive as the eco.

A tip I read somewhere but haven't tried yet is to turn auto brightness off and when you do, hold down on the notification bar (don't pull it down, just hold a finger on it) and slide left or right to adjust brightness on the go. Not for sure if it works but give it a try (I'm chargin my phone while it's off now so I can't yet).

I've had the brightness at the max, and turned off the Auto Adjust Screen Power option. Just while browsing XDA the screen dimmed, and when looking at the brightness setting it states "To avoid overheating, maximum brightness has been reduced.". This has happened at least three different times.
I'm hoping this isn't a serious issue. Have you had it do that multiple times for you as well?
This past week the stock Samsung internet browser app dims when opened. Then when I close it the phone goes back to the brightness level it was at before opening up the browser. only happens when using the Samsung stock browser. Anyone else having this problem?

I'm chalking this up to a bug. I have a friend with an S3 with this exact problem. No amount of settings changing would fix it. I'm pondering doing a factory reset on his and seeing if that fixes the problem.
I was having the same issue. Turning off power save mode fixed it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Its not a bug. I was able to make this happen or not happen by changing a few settings, but I don't remember which ones because I'm on AOKP.
But it definitely is a battery saving feature, so turn off all battery saving stuff and then try it.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
The Samsung gs3 browser has its own display brightness settings that are independent of your screen brightness settings. While in the browser press menu and you should see a screen brightness option. You can select between 3 levels of brightness or set your own slider.
Thanks everyone...I found the culprit.
For anyone else having this problem, it is under the phone settings, power saving, I unchecked "Background color" which says "Change background color to save power in internet"

It shouldn't...unless you allow lots of stuff to run in the background. What is issuing partial wakelocks on your device? Things like Sprint Connections Optimizer, and network-based location will bleed you dry in useless partial wakelocks.
Even leaving data sync-age on, wifi on, GPS on shouldn't unless you're phone is constantly getting email/text notification pings.
I have tested this with two of these phones and it is confirmed there for sure. I live in Miami Florida there is a lot of Sun here so I have no problem testing this. Within any app if I am in the Sun and it is directly hitting my screen and my keyboard is popped up my screen flickers it's not a super bad Flicker it's light but it's definitely there looks like your screen is blinking really fast. I'm going to try on as many of these devices as I can but can anyone tell me if they are experiencing the same?

I definately recall seeing it. I know exactly what you are talking about. I don't see it anymore so either my kernel (ktoonsez) fixed it or it was a bloat app.
I can confirm the issue on my I9500. Its not only limited when under the sun, also happens when you turn the brightness level all the way down. I'm still on stock kernel, maybe custom kernel may solve the issue. No settings in stock has mitigated or fixed this issue for me.
