[Q] NFC Choose an action always pops up - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I am trying to set up a Tasker action to happen when I scan an NFC tag. I installed "Local NFC Plugin", and set update a Tasker profile. Everything is working, except that when I scan my tag I always get a dialog popup that says "Choose an action", with the options "Activate NFC condition" and "New tag collected". If I click on "Activate", my Tasker profile works. If I click on "New tag..." I just get a screen showing me my tag, but not allowing me to do anything.
Is there any way to avoid the "Choose an action" screen? The defeats the whole purpose of scanning an NFC if I have to click on something to get it to work.

Any update to this?

writing to tag worked for me

just found that if your tags are empty/blank, try writing something to it. i used the default write action in ReTAG and it worked! Stopped asking for action when i tap it.

There is a solution to this posted on the Locale NFC Plugin Google Play app page.
If you have conflicts with other NFC-applications such as the default Tags-app you can do the following:
If you have a Ice Cream Sandwich phone - System Settings->Apps->ALL->Tags->Disable
If you have a Gingerbread phone you will have to write a unique tag for this plugin. To do this follow this guide http://goo.gl/uZmYv

For most phones, you just go into your app manager and find the app called "Tags" and disable it. On kitkat the option is actually labeled "Turn Off". Once it's off the "choose an action" screen goes away.

Nailed it!
Thanks!!

This trick wasn't working to me. I'm using Galaxy S5 / CM13 (pretty new nightly build). At first, it asked me to choose between "new tag collected" or NFC tasker, but didn't give possibility to set "always" or "just once". So every time I chose NFC tasker and tags worked fine. Now I tried to disable tags from system apps and tags wont work at all. I also tried trick to write something on tag with ReTag and other apk, but there wasn't any help for me.
I try to build tag for car mode - enter task when reading tag for first (GPS on, open car-dash apk, setup volumes high) and then exit task when reading tag second time (kill car-dash apk, GPS off).
Any ideas?

[Q] Tasker [App] problems on Desire HD

Hello everyone!
I've been playing arround with "Tasker" for some while now, but i keep on hitting the wall with one profile i tried to set.
I cannot use the "application" context
When i set profle like that:
Context:
Application
Weather
Internet
Dropbox
Facebook
Google+
Twitter
YouTube
etc.
Enter Task:
Mobile Data ON
Nothing happens..
Every other Context work great, just application context never work. Also if i only set that when i start Calculator, phone vibrates or flash a notification, it doesnt detect that application is running ;(
I tried that Tasker on Virtuous Unity 2.35.0 and RCMix3D VoidU 1.0, same problem all the time....
Can anyone help me?
Hi,
The "Mobile Data" toggle is suited for CDMA handsets. Try using the "Mobile Data APN" toggle instead.
I'm an avid user of Tasker, I think it's great.

No i have no problems with that.
I have problem about Tasker detecting when i open an app.
Since whatever Task i make for "when an app opens, do that task" it doesnt work
Ah, I see.
No I have no issues with Tasker recognising when apps are open.
What version of Tasker are you using?

Im using v1.1u2 the newest one what rom are u using?
I have the same problem... Tasker doesn't register apps being opened or closed. And I don't even have a Desire HD
It worked fine on stock ROM, but not on my current RevolutionHD.
edit:
I found a solution!
You need to add a line to local.prop located in the folder "data".
If there is no local.prop, create one. Or, add the line to build.prop located in "system". Both work, but I was told modifying local.prop is better in this case...
Anyway, add the line (it's case sensitive):
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
Reboot, and that's it

Tasker help needed

Hi, I would need help with two tasker profiles (and a little hint for the 3rd one ;P)
1st - Connect and route all traffic through a SSH-Tunnel when I am connected to a WiFi which is not my home-WiFi:
I tried this with SSH-Tunnel but "killing" the app gives random pop-ups + problem report + restart of the app (even when killing with root). Any ideas?
2nd - Screenshot when wrong lock pattern was entered:
I found several guides for how to do it with a "pin lock" but it seems as "lock pattern" won't work with tasker?
3rd - Can I somehow let tasker read/speak the following things:
At which time is the next alarm and in how many hours/minutes is that (alarmdroid)?
Do I have any missed calls/mails/messages (whatsapp/sms/facebook/...) ?
Do I have any calendar entries today and which one is the first one ?
I plan on using those the following way:
Put phone into docking station near my bed - Let me know if alarm is set and when it is.. also tell me if there are any meetings on the next day.
When alarmdroid starts waking me up, tell me if I have any missed calls/messages/etc and how many calendar entries I have today.
Thanks
Idk about any of the other stuff but about question 2...There is an app called secure settings..this app pretty much adds functionality to tasker and if you are rooted it adds even more. But basically you can use pattern lock through tasker after downloading that app..I am currently using it to have my lock pattern turn off when im connected to my home wifi and then turns back on when im not connected to home wifi...
I had similar issues as you where it would only work with pin lock but now with secure settings, its work with pattern lock. Hope this helps.

In regards to question number 2, I'd skip setting this up via tasker and just get the app Cerberus, its a pay app but its amazing when it comes to the things it can regarding security of your phone, in case its lost/stolen. It does have the feature your trying to set up, works with pin and pattern locks. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lsdroid.cerberus&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5sc2Ryb2lkLmNlcmJlcnVzIl0.
no I don't like cerberus sry. Also I got Avast for that

I'd vouch for Cerberus. Has really good security features. btw how would taking a screenshot on entering wrong pattern help. Did you mean to take the photo of the intruder entering the wrong pattern?

Yes, a pic is taken of the intruder and sent to me via e-mail.
The whole thing works.. except that it doesn't work when the phone is locked :S
Not sure why you dont like cerberus, it does exactly what you want lol..was just a suggestion.
and i appreciate the help I just dont like the app.
Tasker >add Task(+) > Plugin > Secure Setttings > Configuration > Pattern Lock
Set the context as you like..
Ye tried that one already -> doesnt seem to work :/
Regarding your #2 request, if what you are looking for is for the phone to take a picture of the user after a failed unlock attempt this is what I did in Tasker to accomplish this and more.
This will take a photo of the "intruder" after two failed attempts. With my Dropbox sync this photo is instantly uploaded to Dropbox for archival. Then the phone sends two SMS messages to my GV number, the first with the rough location based on the network and then another if GPS is able to locate them.
First you have to install the "Secure Settings" plugin from the Market. Also for photo archival I use Dropbox configured to backup my photos.
New Profile named "Unlock Fail"
Event>State>Plugin>Secure Settings
-Edit Configuration>Failed Login Attempts> 2 (your choice)
-Save
Task> New Task named "Security Photo"
-Media>Take Photo
>Front Camera
>Filename : Lock Photo
>Naming Sequence : Series
>Insert in Gallery : checked
>Descrete : checked
>Resolution: 640x480 (Your preference)
-Misc.>GPS Set On
-Misc.>Get Location
>Source NET
-Phone>Send SMS
>Number (Your choice, I use my GV number)
>Message "Someone has tried to unlock your phone, a photo has been stored and they are roughly at: %LOC"
-Misc.>Get Location
>Source GPS
-Phone>Send SMS
>Number (Same as above)
>Message "Here is their exact location: %LOC"
Then on top of this I also created another profile that would fire off this same task if an SMS is received with the text "find me". This profile also sounds an alarm so I can locate the phone.

I would prefer Mail over SMS but the problem won't even go until the sending part as it won't even take the picture when the phone is locked with a pattern lock? Atleast for me here.

I do not seem to have that problem. I just tried it and it worked perfectly.
Now I have my phone configured for face unlock with pattern as a backup and my phone is rooted.
-Phone was locked with the screen off.
-Hit the power button and blocked the camera so face unlock would fail.
-Entered the wrong pattern twice. Once the second attempt failed I saw GPS activate and I heard the GV notification for the received SMS.
-I never unlocked the phone and checking GV and Dropbox from a different device and the messages were sent with my location and the picture was uploaded to Dropbox.
Not sure what else to say. I think I was asked to give Tasker administrative rights along with being rooted so maybe that is the difference.
i am rooted as well.. and tasker is in my SuperSU list :S
Rly weird
I will pay you for Tasker Profiles
I bought tasker because I see the incredible potential for the different profiles.
That being said I am dumb and find creating the profiles that I want a little bit overwhelming.
Is you are a tasker EXPERT on this site that would like to make some profiles for me that I could download & I will pay you for them.
An example profile would be:
IF I disconnect from Wifi Network by going out of range I want to automatically turn on bluetooth for for 10 minutes.
(Usually when I walk out of wifi range I am walking to my car which bluetooths music/calls off my phone)
IF within that 10 minutes I connect to a bluetooth device I would like to keep the bluetooth on until the pairing is broken. IF NOT bluetooth will be turned off after the 10 minutes
When the bluetooth pairing is broken I would like the phone to turn on Wifi for 10 minutes as I am usually walking to my office/house or place with wifi
IF within that 10 minutes a wifi network is connected then wifi will remain on IF NOT then wifi will be turned off
This is just one of probably 10 or so possible profiles I would like to create that are custom to my circumstances
I have a galaxy S4 Active from AT&T that is rooted
If you are interested in creating profiles for me please message me with your expertise & what a profile would cost
For most of you creating these things are childs play however for me it is not
This is my first time posting so if this is the wrong place to put this please direct me to a different area.

[Q] Lookout "Weekly" Scan

So I've already had two notifications that Lookout has done it's "weekly" scan today alone...
Is there someway to disable at least the notifications? If I go into the App itself all I can do there is activate lookout? (If it's not activated then what the heck are the scans it's doing?)
Thanks!

Tap and hold on the notification and tap on "App Info". Then uncheck the "Show Notifications" checkbox. You could also click "Turn Off" to disable the app completely.

I didn't even think of that... I'm used to running custom ROMs where I just don't install stuff I don't need.
I'm running stock for a while to see what I "need" in a custom ROM (especially with regards to the S-Pen stuff) and to let stuff shake out on new device. So far my only real annoyance has been that the Samsung Contact App is auto linking contacts simply because they share enough info in common and I can't figure out how to disable that (without manually doing it when and if I find a contact that is linked).
Thanks!

Yeah, I think stock on this phone is fine. On the S4 it was kind of necessary to put a custom rom because the phone was so laggy, but the 800 on this phone just flies through everything.

[Q] "Navigate to home" doesn't work - it shows web searches for the word "home"

[Q] "Navigate to home" doesn't work - it shows web searches for the word "home"
I have already set my "Home" address in Google Maps (from the web, not within the Android app). I search the net and there are numerous article that said that you can just say any of this word to GET DIRECTION to go home:
- Navigate to home
- How long does it take to go home
- Take me home
But if I do this, it will only bring up web searches (Home Depot, definition of the word "home", etc.).
Is there anything I need to do?

It seems to affect some people, but there is no known symptom why it happened.

I did everything, from resetting Google Now to adding-removing-adding my Home address. I remember I used to be able to type "Home" in maps.google.com and it'll recognize my home address, but even that won't work anymore. Something is screw up on Google back-end, I think.
Interestingly, Google Now CAN show traveling card. I.e. it'll show "60 minutes to Home" and when I opened the card, it'll take me to Google Map app and it'll show "From: current location" and "To: Home".

I had exactly this problem. When I changed my address to something *better* everything started working. Try a few different address formats.
You have to have google now enabled, as well as "location history", even if you set up your work and home addresses, once you turn off location history the voice commands stop working. (Lame IMO but that was google makes you turn on your history)

Click G on Nexus 7 home screen, swipe up, select 3 dots menu, Settings option. Select Voice option, "Ok Google" Detection.
There are three options:
[x] From Google Search app: Say "Ok Google" to start a voice search from Google app
[?] From any screen: Responds to your voice. Works when the screen is on or the device is charging
[?] From lock screen: Allow "Ok Google" to start a voice search or action from the secure lock screen
Anyone know if these settings impact Android Wear, e.g. Moto 360, operations?

Have you tried setting a *fake* address for home and using navigate home? But, pick a real address for *fake* and verify it with voice navigation on your phone/tablet first. If this works try switching back to your real address. Something might be wrong with Google search finding your real address. This happened to me.

Hmm, that's interesting.
I am now in the midst of "resetting" my data with Google. Location History, YouTube, apps cache, etc... from the phone and my Google account on the web.. Trying to see if I can "reset" whatever process Google have in the backend.
Do you get an answer to "where is my home? " or "where is my house? " or something like that?
It shows the location of my house in my watch.

Just tested "where is my home" and it found it! A map card showing my home is displayed. Ditto for "where is my work". But then I tried "direction to my home", "navigate to my home", "take me to my home" doesn't work. AAGGH!!!
So it looks like Google does recognize my home and work location, but NOT when navigating ?!
PS: I just did a clean-up: disabled Google Now, deleted all Location History and disabling it, go to maps.google.com and delete "Home" and "Work" location, etc. and re-enable everything. No go.
I remember there is used to a "Navigation" app in 4.2. I don't recall if I make changes there, but I wonder if I did make changes with that app, Google may "remember" certain setting that cause this issue? Unfortunately, the "Navigation" app is not there in 4.3
Heh, found out if I say "Agenda for Today", it'll bring a search of that word...
This must be something with Google. I don't know, maybe because I had the Google Mail account back in 2004, when they first launched and adding all the privacy-invading-stuff...sorry...feature break something.

NfcTagRelay - Automate your life by scanning tags with your Sony SW3

NFC Tags are awesome for automating stuff. Want easy to activate sleep tracking? Just set up a tag near your bed. Want easy to activate car mode? Set up a tag somewhere in your car. But they have one big flaw: to use them, you must take your big ass phone out of your pocket.
(In above example, I activate sleep tracking, disable always-on mode and enable theater mode by just touching the tag. Always-on mode is then automagically re-enabled in the morning when sleep tracking stops.)
NfcTagRelay is simple and light tool that reads tags using your smartwatch and then relays the tag detection event to the phone, so it can be acted upon using various automation apps such as Tasker.
How it works
Every NFC tag has unique ID that can be used to identify it. That ID is broadcasted via Intent to all apps on the phone whenever tag is scanned. It is broadcasted via two different intents:
Intent 1
Action: com.matejdro.weartagrelay.RECEIVED_TAG
Extras:
tagid = <ID of the tag>
Intent 2
Action: com.matejdro.weartagrelay.TAG_<ID of the tag>
(This second one is more useful for apps that cannot filter Intents by extras such as Tasker).
Tasker example
Here is my example on how I'm receiving tags via Tasker. As mentioned above, app sends events via Intents. That is why we will be using System -> Intent Received Tasker event.
1. ID Receiving Context
First we have to figure out what is the ID of the tag that we are scanning. For that we can use com.matejdro.weartagrelay.RECEIVED_TAG which also broadcasts tag ID.
Create new context with System -> Send Intent event
Under intent action enter com.matejdro.weartagrelay.RECEIVED_TAG (See attached picture 1.)
In task that is triggered by this, copy contents of the %tagid variable to the clipboard. For convenience, you can also copy it along the rest of the second intent (see attached picture 2).
After you get the tag ID, you can delete that context or just disable it to add more tags later. It is triggered when you scan any tag so you likely won't need it.
2. TAG Context
Now that we have the ID, we can create context that will be activated whenever tag with that ID is scanned. For that we will use com.matejdro.weartagrelay.TAG_<ID> intent.
Create new context with System -> Send Intent event
Under intent action enter com.matejdro.weartagrelay.TAG_<ID>, where you replace "<ID>" with the actual ID of the tag (See attached picture 3.)
In task that is triggered by this, add whatever you want. This task will be triggered every time you scan tag with specified ID.
Installation
Install Sony SmartWatch 3 NFC Support Package. Without that, NFC will not work at all on your watch.
Install included APK to your phone
After some time (usually up to a minute), app will be automatically installed to the watch (you will get notification). After that you may also need to grant the app NFC permissions (it will ask on the watch). Make sure you do, otherwise it won't work.
Huge thanks to user ebones. Without him, this would not be possible.
Hi, all installed and appears to be working. Although I didn't get any notifications to grant NFC permissions etc. Can you also please confirm the name of the app once installed on the watch?
Thanks
I think it only asks for permission if you are running Marshmallow on the phone.
Has anyone managed to get an NFC tag (or reader for that matter) to relay to another app? I know this app does work with tasked, but it would be great if there were a way to relay to a chosen app. E.g. HID Mobile Access.
And does this app allow two way communication?

no it doesnt
EDIT: after a factory reset and completely starting over it still doesnt show
EDIT 2: this does show up tho
Then you don't need to confirm permissions. It should work by itself.

Please help me!
I've installed NCF support package and app. Can I scan NFC Pass-card to this watch and use only watch to pass against card?
No, this is only for detecting NFC tags and perform various actions when detected.
Hi,
please, tell me your full setup (device, ROM, etc.).
After days of trying to get it to work I'm really frustrated and have no idea what to do.
My device is a Samsung Note 3 and I tried it with Kitkat 4.4 (Sweet ROM), Lollipop 5.1 (Dark Wolf), Android 7 (Resurrection) and several versions of the wear app. But nothing workes.
Smartwatch 3 Setup: TWRP, LCA43 (Android 5.1.1, built-in Wear App Version 1.3.x), NFC Support Package, Wear-SuperSU
Smartwatch 3 Working: for each new pairing with the different Smartphone OS's the watch had to be resetted and after that I installed "Wear Mini Launcher" and "NfcTagRelay" (as well as I did the steps mentioned in several descriptions e.g. enable dev & usb debugging), the NfcTagRelay installed successfully and gave the option to enable/disable NFC
Note 3: within each new OS I installed the appropiate gapps and apk's ("Wear App" v1.3.x, "Wear Mini Launcher" and "NfcTagRelay"), installation with other versions of the wear app on the phone didn't work, as expected
Note 3 Setup with Kitkat 4.4.2: Wear App works fine, connection is always enabled, Mini Launcher works great too. But that didn't work for the nfc purpose. The watch seems not to scan any tag (no vibration notification at the watch, no reaction on the phone)
Note 3 Setup with Lollipop 5.1 (Dark Wolf): Wear App does not find the watch (as far as I remember, have to test this another time, coming soon...)
Note 3 Setup with Android 7.1.1 (Ressurection Remix): after succesful pairing with the Wear App it seems to loose an active connection and on several actions in the app a message pops up that their is no connection, Smartwatch reacts on nfc scan with vibration, no reaction on the phone
