I have apps like Smart Protector and Tasker that disable screen timeout for certain apps. But it doesn't seem to work display still timeouts. I'm not sure if there is some other settings that overrides it.

I'm having this issue too. I have to go to phone setting to manually set "Keep screen turned on", tasker will not do this for me.
However, on my exit task, I have tasker adjust the setting to 30s, which works.

Hi,
I just discovered something strange: I use FolderSync to sync Music to my GN. I configured it to only sync when WLAN is available. When I sync and switch the screen of, then the Sync stops immediately and resumes when I switch the Screen back on. Is WLAN switched off when the screen is switched off? Did I miss some settings to configure that?
Thanks
May be related with some auto task killer or process killer like juice defender
Yes you missed some wifi settings. You can set there whether you want to turn off wifi with the screen, keep it always on or keep it always on while charging.
You can find it in:
Settings - wifi - ... - advanced
Thanks martan1981, but this is "always on" on my GN. So thats not the reason
Do you have any battery-saving apps like JuiceDefender or GreenPower installed? That could cause your data/wifi to turn off with the screen.
Or there could perhaps be a power-saving function built in to your ROM? I know AOKP has a Power Saver mode that could be enabled to turn data off with the screen.
wifi sleep policy should be set to never. But some people have a bug where this setting does not stick for some reason. You prob have this bug too.
I also have this problem how to fix it ?
No root stock 4.0.2
I use a Tasker profile that in case of missed call or missed SMS every "X" time, remind the missed event with a vibration in case the volume is <=0 or with a sound in case the volume of the phone is > 0.
The problem: this profile works only when the screen is ON but neither in the profile, nor in the task there is a condition about the status of the screen!
Tasker's accessibility service is already enabled.
Why other profiles that switch on or off WiFi or bluetooth work while the screen is OFF?
There is something special about Z1C, Tasker to know?
Any smart Tasker user can help me, please?

Are you using Stamina mode? That may be preventing Tasker from running when you turn the screen off.

I'm using Stamina mode but I have found a solution right now!
In task properties flag keep device awake... et voilà!
Thank you!
Has anybody figured out how to turn the knock code on/off using Tasker? I would like to turn security off when I'm on WIFI and back on when I'm not. I know how to do it with a PIN but not with knock code.
It should work regardless of pin or knock knock code.
I have my set up the same way. To disable lock screen when connected to a particular Wi-Fi and enable when disconnected. When I get in front of a computer I will add more details for me set up.

First you will need two (2) Tasks Set up
Disable Lockscreen Keyguard Set Off
[a] In the task column: Hit the + button>Display>Keygaurd>Set to off
Enable Lockscreen: Keyguard Set On
In the task column: Hit the + button>Display>Keygaurd>Set to on
The Profile it self. I have mine set up to when I am, connected to my network(s) to disable the lockscreen
+ Button> State>Net>Wifi Connected
In the SSID Type in the SSID of the networks where you would like the lockscreen disabled. If you have multiple SSIDs separate them with "/", for example: XDA 1 and XDA 2 as SSIDs Type in "XDA 1/XDA 2" with out quotation marks.
Have Disable Lockscreen as the Enter Task and Enable as the Exit Task.

Not sure I that. But I don't think it would matter if you have exchange or not. But I haven't used it so not sure.
I have Gear Fit and I can't get to work with my G3 when I have set Knock Code. If I don't have any security on lockscreen everything is working good. Here is my settings. Could you please check it. Thanks.
These are working settings without Knock Code (sceen_1 and screen_2). And here are settings which are not working for me when I have Knock Code (screen_1 and screen_2)
I would appreciate your help.
If you are using Xposed then try "no lock home" module, this works perfect!

For some reason this doesn't really work - most of the time, sometimes it does. The tasks work fine if I run them but after a while the lock/keyguard is activated again for no obvious reason. What can I have done wrong?
Do you have another Profile set up, which toggles Wi-Fi?
That may cause it to not work appropriately.
Also, I have noticed if Disable Task is running, and you hit the "Home" Button, so some reason the task stops working.
Hi i have a similar question how do i set up a profile with tasker that when im on a trusted WIFI the knock code is disabled but to still have the lockscreen but with swipe?
im new with tasker thanks in advance for the help.
People I think knock code is a feature of the rom itself and for that tasker does not have that ability if you are running stock rooted. I am running the lastest CyanogenMod 12 and I got working perfectly a similar tasker profile. This is made posible by Cyanogen.
hi cpatel112
I have my profile setup as you defined and it works.
however, i have noticed that after a while, when i click on my home button on LG G3 it does not go to homescreen but flashed up my lock screen and then goes back to previous screen
also the recent apps button does not work - only the back button works
any ideas why this may be happening and did it happen for you too?
thanks

I am not sure as to why it does that to be honest with you. I have disable that profile. In order to have the nav buttons working as they should be, for some reason when you hit any of those it will take you to the lock screen. And for them to work as well, you have to go through the step.

Since update to Marshmallow (V20B installed from .kdz with LGUP) I'm missing the option to set sensitive information on/off for apps?
I have the general Lock screen setting under Settings>Sound. There I have set Hide sensitive only.
I also have enabled a secure lock screen which you have to do, I am using pattern but have also tried PIN.
Then under Set notification for apps, I only have these three
Block
Priority
Allow peeking
I can filter my apps based on
All apps
Enabled
Disabled
Block
Priority
No peeking
Hide sensitive content
Wtf? Bug? Or has something happened with my settings?
Hah! Found what the problem is. The option to hide sensitive information on the lock screen or not is actually reversed. If I choose "Show all notifications" it hides the apps I have set as sensitive. And under the app settings, the option is now there.
Is there anyway to get the theatre mode double press shortcut back? Having to pulldown and tap a small menu button is really bothering me.
Also tripple press for brightnes boost not working.
A must have on a sunny day.

I really miss the single tap waking the screen and putting it back into ambient mode. It allowed for turning my screen on and off without causing finger prints or possibility of undetected touch due to dry fingers. Palming the screen to turn off/enable ambient mode, used to intermittently result in onscreen actions being pressed like starting my stopwatch, or even worse stopping my stopwatch after I had just started it. I must have used single press of the button 100x per day. Now I have to actually wait for my screen to turn itself off. This alone has to half the battery life on the watch.
Double tap button for cinema mode was also a nice feature but I only do it once per day at night to save power so enabling through the swipe down menu isn't a big deal for me.
Worse is the three tap to turn on max brightness temporary. Today outdoor i Couldn't see my watch screen. Not seeing it also makes it impossible to enter brightness menu to increase brightness. I start to get more and more annoyed by 2.0 ?

I haven't tried it yet, but I saw this app, Wear Button Remapper, recommended on Reddit.
It says it can remap your button long press to any app, or to theater mode if your watch is rooted.
There are a ton of things that are frustrating, but I have figured out a way to cope with most of it.
For Do Not Disturb Sync, there is an app that restores this functionality.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rkr.weardndsync
For theater mode, I setup a tasker task using autowear to run an app that allows toggling theater mode.
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidWear/comments/64qitr/toggle_theater_mode_on_wear_20/
I'm guessing that wear button remapper would allow us to enable theater mode without root using this app.
It's great that devs have developed apps to remap long press. Hopefully it won't be long before they can map double and triple tap to let us use the 1.5 theater and max brightness modes again.

Whoa!! You DO Rule!
This is soooo frickin' awesome, I am just thrilled. I finally got one of the automatons I missed on AW 1.5 with Wear Shell. It took me a couple tries to get the task set. I use Sleep as Android and it supports Tasker but it would not trigger this app adding it to my existing profile, but just setting Toggle Theater Mode to run when Sleep runs did the trick!

Yeah, there does seem to be some sort of glitch with the tasker autowear integration. I'm not sure what it is, but it seems to run the same autowear task even if you reconfigure it in tasker. The fix seems to delete the task and create a new one with a different name.
I use minimal and elegant as my watch face and was able to use the interactive functions to run the tasker task. I now have a button on the watch face that allows quick access to sleep tracking that enables do not disturb and theater mode.
You have to use SleepWear for the app name instead of start sleep tracking which makes it a little more difficult. Any ideas on how to find the app package name on wear?

I just made a second task that triggers on the Sleep app starting, so I have two tasks - one runs on the Sleep Start intent and the other to trigger your app via Auto Wear. It works great. If I do open the Sleep app during the day then I do get theater mode, but I'm fine with that to get the night time auto start. :good:
In an adb shell:
Code:
pm list packages -f
I can even pipe it through grep or more on my linux box which is good.
edit -
Code:
[email protected]:~$ adb shell
sturgeon:/ $ pm list packages -f | grep urbandroid
package:/data/app/com.urbandroid.sleep-2/base.apk=com.urbandroid.sleep
