[Tasker] Share your profiles

I just started using Tasker, and thought I would create a thread for us Verizon HTC One users to share profiles and such and help each other out.
So far, I have only setup a basic profile with Tasker to silence my phone(and set to vibrate) and turn data off. I leave the radio on in-case my wife needs to get a hold of me. This is based on the day of the week, and time of day, and location conditions. After the time period is over, or location changes, it automatically reverses these changes, taking the phone out of silent mode and turning data back on.
What do you use Tasker for? Share your profiles and tasks here.

I'll upload mine at a later time because I'm super busy atm(but not too busy to post apparently). But here is what mine does that you can look into for making your life a little easier.
Profiles --------------
Record Data State: Set a variable on/off when mobile data is enabled or disabled but only when the screen is on. Additionally only after the screen has been on for 2 seconds. This fixes some issues with phones that sleep mobile data thus making Tasker think you manually disabled mobile data. This profile is used in relation to the auto data on/off which I will get to later.
Apps - Enable GPS: A simple profile that turns on the gps for gps related things like maps, location based games. I increased the application check to 9999 for battery sake and also only run this profile while screen is on. When profile becomes disabled perform a delayed task of turning off the gps(I do 1 minute).
Screen Off Data Management: When you turn the screen off wait 2 minutes to turn off mobile data and 7 till wifi. This also enables a routine that enables mobile data briefly every hour.
Screen On: Re-enable data connections, see received text profile as well
Time from ~nighttime to early morning: Disable all volumes while leaving ringer low. Obvious reasons....
State> bluetooth connected (exit task only): Wait 1 minute, disable bluetooth if no device is connected. This is tied in to the next two profiles, it will auto disable your bluetooth 1 minute after you disconnect a bluetooth device.
Phone ringing enable bluetooth: turn on bluetooth if your phone is ringing...
phone call placed - enable bluetooth: see above....
phone idle - disable bluetooth: turn off bluetooth ONLY if a bluetooth device is not connected. the "state> bluetooth connected" exit task will automatically disable bluetooth briefly after it's no longer in use. This prevents bluetooth from automatically disabling on dropped calls.
on some devices you can use "Call Any*" to handle the previous 3 profiles.
Received Text: this seems broke in most scenarios but it was intended to set a variable of when the text was received and not enable mobile data when screen is turned on for x seconds. this would prevent pointless toggling of mobile data.
Those are all of my power saving profiles. As said before I'll upload the scripts later because man, they're a doozy to write to get them all to work together.

Thanks for sharing some power saving ideas. I just added some more, still haven't had a whole lot of time to get into complex stuff...
Have a profile for location, time, and date to set my phone to vibrate if I am at work.
Added a simple one for a text to my wife if my battery is below 10 percent.
Loving this app already, looking forward to see what other folks have done.
EDIT:
Ok, so I added another profile for taking a photo and emailing to me if the lock screen is entered incorrectly after a certain number of times. However, I can not get this to work. I do not get any errors, but I don't actually receive the email message. Here is what I did, found in another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40341626&postcount=734
Anyone have any thoughts?
EDIT 2:
I figured out part of the problem - it will not work with Python 3, you must use 2.x.x (I'm using 2.6.2 from https://code.google.com/p/python-fo...etail?name=PythonForAndroid-r7b1.apk&can=2&q=)
So now I am receiving the email message with GPS location, but no picture attachment, probably a typo on my part...
EDIT 3:
so, for the attachment path on the photo, I have tried the following with no success:

Tasker is broke in quite a lot of areas. It seems to work better with custom ROMs but the stock HTC One ROM is just terrible. I think the developer of Tasker got lazy and stopped fixing things. Not meant as an insult to them, but I never see updates.

I haven't had much time to mess with this the past few days, anyone have any insight on why I am not receiving the picture attachment in the email?

I am just picking this app up so I really have little idea what I'm doing but so far i have:
- When display off - wait 10 minutes then turn off WiFi, Data, and Auto Sync (Poff)
- When display on - wait 2 seconds and turn WiFi, Data, and Auto Sync on (Pon)
- Periodic Data Check - From 7am to 11pm every 30 minutes while the display state is off, run task 'Pon', wait 3 minutes, then run task 'Poff' (Pperiodic) [Set to keep awake during this task]
- Run music - When headphones are plugged in, start my music app of choice (Headset)
These are VERY simple and VERY simply configured. I've seen some really crazy Tasks where it checks the network usage and if it's below 15 kbs.... Yeah that's too cray for me and honestly I don't care if Weather is updating when my screen is off.
I was inspired to do this because I switched from Sense to AOSP and now I don't have the PowerSaver functionality that Sense has. I feel this is a good (configurable) alternative.
Let me know if you want the specifics about these profiles and I'll gladly share them
ADD:
One thing I would like to do is change it so instead of "Screen off" it's something like "Sleeping" because if i'm listening to music and have the phone active i'd like data to be on. Is this something I'd have to set up with a custom variable? Have something like $SLEEP defined and have some logic that says IF *phone is awake* THEN SET $SLEEP to 0. Then just add the conditional in front of the 'Poff'? Sounds about right but what would the "*phone is awake*" be?

I'm interested in how you set these two up. I have something similar but I'm getting inconsistent results..

I used to have a lot of profiles but I dont use it really anymore since I get good battery life. If I ever start back I will add some as I think them up.

At 10:30pm, tasker disables the green and orange notification lights because they're so stinking bright. It also turns off the capacity buttons backlight and starts Screen Filter at 25%.
It reverses everything the next morning at 8.

It is an app. You can get it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
When you open it, it will give you a tutorial page to help you learn it. If you want any of the functions that you've read above, just quote the author and we'll give you the tasker profile.

I've got mine set up to save a little battery:
-screen off: wait 10 minutes and then disable WiFi, mobile data, and auto sync
-every 30 min when screen off: reenable WiFi, data, and sync for 2 minutes
-screen on: reenable connectivity
-MMS received: turn screen on for 5sec (so that connectivity will be reenabled, and it can download the MMS message)

I once used the screen filter technique as well, it's handy for not blinding yourself at night.

I attached my script in this post. Most of the actions within it are commented but here is a brief list of what it does.
Enables Bluetooth automatically any time your dialer is in use, such as: making call, getting call, in call. Bluetooth will automatically disable 1 minute after your Bluetooth device is disconnected. This is to prevent immediate disconnects with accidental drops from Bluetooth devices.
Records when you manually enable or disable both WiFi and Cellular data. If you are to disable Cellular data the script won't do interval checks and won't automatically turn on cellular data. The same applies to WiFi.
Enables GPS and increases screen on duration when certain apps are open. Used for Navigation, or GPS related games. This also has protection against immediate disconnects when the apps are temporarily closed.
Automatically disables WiFi and Cellular data x minutes after the screen is turned off, and will periodically briefly enable cellular data. Data will automatically enable when you turn your screen on. Data won't disable if the phone is charging and is not night time.
Night Time will automatically lower sound volumes and disable periodic cellular data cycles,
That's pretty much it! Very simple but helps a ton, especially on devices with weak batteries. Other things to consider is enabling a screen filter if Night Time and brightness sensor is minimum, and perhaps delaying how fast cellular data turns on if your screen is coming on shortly after a text.
Be sure to run the 'Run Once' task as it initiates a few variables.
IMPORTANT: There was one minor thing I fixed after uploading this script. You must make another profile 'On Device Boot' and have the task Set Variable 'LastWifiCheck' to 0. I'll upload another with this fix when I get a chance.

Thanks everyone for the contributions here, keep them coming

thanks

Anyone have any experience getting Tasker to stop HTC Car & disable car mode? My goal is to have Tasker start up Car and Pandora when my Bluetooth device is detected (which it does properly) and then as an exit task, kill Car & Pandora. Right now I have this in one context but I could split it up I think. Tasker seems to have a hard time stopping Car though. Any ideas?

I don't have any experience with this specifically, but you may want to try a plugin that works with Tasker, such as Secure Settings. I don't know if that will work, but there may be another plugin that will. Hope that was at least somewhat helpful.

I had the same problem. You may want to try a free app, in the app store, called Trigger. It's similar to Tasker, but offers an option under the Travel section to enable/disable Car Mode.

Can anyone get this to work with Google's "Contacts' birthdays and events" calendar?
All I want for Christmas is for my phone to remind me that a birthday is today using Tasker. No guide works for me, nor any amount of time spent trying to get it to work myself.

Ringer Volume Drops By Itself !!

hey guys,
i noticed many times my M8 volume when i receive a call or notification drops to below 50%. i disabled the pocket mode setting and the "quiet ring on pickup" setting. i want it loud at all times but randomly it lowers the volume to same low level. i have passcode on my M8 so i know the down volume isnt toggled whole in my pocket.
any one else have this issue?

Yes, it's probably because you have the it set to do that when the phone is moved.

Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I second that, at first I thought I was tripping but the phone seems to do so, I get the issue on the ring and notifications. I find myself frequently pushing the volume up to make sure it isn't turned down.

I have been having this issue, but at first I thought I was changing the volume by accident. I finally realized it was happening way too much to be by accident. It seems to change after receiving and answering calls. After I hang up, I check the volume and it is turned down. I swapped my phone at the T-Mobile store, and the replacement has the same exact issue. I have tried troubleshooting and replicating the issue, but so far I can't pinpoint an exact cause. I may have to return the M8, even though it has been my favorite phone thus far. I have been missing calls and texts due to the volume change bug. Otherwise the phone has been perfect.

I have the same issue even with those settings disabled.

Has anyone tried to contract HTC ? And report the issue?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I have the AT&T model, and I have the same issues. I have (I think) narrowed it down to it being a problem with pocket mode, regardless if it's enabled or not. When the phone rings in my pocket, it is always too quiet. If it's laying flat on a table, it's always max volume. The only thing that contradicts this is when the default ringer rings (meaning an unknown number calls that I don't have a specific ringtone chosen for in contacts), it will always ring full volume (pocket or not). This REALLY pisses me off. I bought this phone for the loud speakers...
Edit: I have never experienced the volume icon dropping by itself. Everytime I click the volume rocker up, it's always says it's at max.

Verizon M8 here - and as such I have to be different. For me it's my Notification volume that maxes out when I answer a call. I turned the requisite settings off but as others have noticed, that had no effect. Simply receiving doesn't do it - it's only when I answer it hits.
Rooted, S-off & very puzzled.

Ringer issues
I installed a volume control app cost .99 and so far fixed the issue

Just wanted to add my 3 day old M8 does this also, even with quite ring on pick up, and pocket mode unchecked, flip to mute check to mute once.

The new software update fixed the issue at least for me

Hi, do you find some issue for that problem? Because I bought M8 6 days ago and I have same problem with that.
We need resolve this because I am going be crazy for this phone.

same
i have the M7 and i got that problem too ...i observed that it;s lower the ringtone volume only when i'm using the phone for something(internet,game,fb) and i get a call....when idle and the screen is locked, it doesn't happent....i get this problem with SamsungS3 too, so i guess its an android issue , or an issue of the branding of the carrier ...for me it came out only after updating to sense6.even if i am walking, my phone ring once and then silcence , or autoanswer....unchecked all ,checked again, try everything, nothing worked since now...

Same problem here..I thought that is only me with this problem but it seems not..If anyoane have a fix for this problem,please post here because is very anoying.I tried all settings and put a coustom rom but the same....

Hi,
Turn OFF the Auto-pick function(not sure this is like that in english), this problem will dissapear.
Good luck,
Eugene

M7 Dual Sim
a;so same issue with me

Contacted HTC now it's fix
I contacted HTC about the ringtone going down after every call. They asked me if it was after the software update . It was after that. This is what he had me do:
hold in the Volume Down key and the power key at the same time for a few seconds. Continue holding the Volume Down until you get to an "HBOOT" screen with 3 android guys at the bottom. Once in there, use the volume keys to go down to "Recovery" option, then press the power button once to select it.
You'll be taken to a screen with a picture of a phone with a "!" icon and a red triangle. Once there please hold the Volume Up key and press the Power key once for just a second, then let go, you will see another menu, go down (using the Volume Keys again) to "Wipe Cache Partition" option and press once the power key to select it. Once it's complete, choose the option to "Reboot System Now" and the phone will start back up. The Cache Wipe is complete.
It worked for me.
Hope it helps

[Q] New Theater Mode, I was excited. Suggestions?

I was excited about this. Keeps the screen off unless I press the button! Cool! I didn't realize you lose notification vibrations too. Not so useful for me. Anyone know how to keep the screen off unless I press the button and keep my notification alert vibrations?

Then whats the point of keepign the screen off if you are just gonna turn the screen on to check it. You're at the movies, watch the movie.

I would like this feature too. During work or driving at night, I don't necessarily want the screen coming on all the time. But if I got a vibration, I could choose to check it, but if I was in the middle of something I could do it later. The point is, I want to use the theatre mode just to stop it from turning on when I don't want it too (ie making turns while driving)

I don't have the update yet, but can't you disable the wrist gesture new and keep always on screen to off to get what you're looking for?

What I wanted was for the screen to remain off but still have notifications. The screen would only come on if I pressed then button. If you disable wrist gesture that helps but I'd still like it to not come on for any reason without pressing the button.

Still need a vibrate and no screen mode

I need this while driving or in a movie theatre. Maybe it should be a separate feature setting for notifications like "only vibrate+no screen on". The theatre mode is cool but I still need an answer to the above use case which a setting would help too.

Yes. The new feature tilt to wake up on android wear. Just uncheck it. The screen will not come on unless u tap the screen or hit the button. But you will still receive notifications.

Pushing the button on the watch twice will also activate the theater mode without having to go into the settings.

i just tested this. FYI you have to be pretty deliberate with your button pushes. a quick push doesn't seem to work. you have to PUSH and then PUSH again. also three pushes enables sunlight mode.

Seems like this is were Priority mode kicks in. Set it to two hours and only get the important stuff.

There are some no-brainer options that still aren't available for Android Wear. I've had Sammy watches and now my Moto 360. While I can get away with wearing the Moto at work a little more than my Sammy watch, one option I really miss is simply disabling the tilt to wake option. My Sammy watch would light up when I had a notification, and stay off any other time. No need to worry about it coming on while driving, typing, or simply moving my arm (unless I got a notification). I would get 2+ days battery life out of it, and I work Production Support at my job. Constant notifications about tickets being opened, file transfers completing, etc. Some things about this OS still baffles me.

also, go in to "block app notifications" and choose apps to block if you're getting too many notifications. if you use your phone for work and are getting constant ticket updates, etc., create a rule in outlook to move those emails to another folder and then turn notifications off in the email client on your phone. that will reduce the volume of notifications.
i only receive notifications on my primary inbox. since returning from lunch, i have 40+ emails in my other folders and only 6 came in through my primary inbox.

Yep - Outlook rules in full effect - I send priority notifications via key words in the subject, sender, etc (files failing to decrypt, not received, ticket opened, etc) as a text. The rest get filtered into each client's folder. Good advice, thankfully I'm doing that already, haha.
Thanks again for the help.

Can you please tell me if it's something device-specific or maybe Android-version-specific? I have Android 5.0.2 on the phone and Sony Smartwatch 3 (with Wear 5.1.1 on it), and the Blocked App Notifications activity in my Android Wear application is empty, i.e. it doesn't include the options on the screenshot.
Ok, found it. It's currently available when you tap the device name on Android Wear app's main activity.

Lg G4 double tap and glance view not working.

As the topic says, the glance view and double tap stopped working after shutting down there phone and leaving it in charge. Turned back on noticed that some features like glance view, double tap to wake up, vibrate on tap wouldn't work. Fixes vibrate on tap by turning off and on again, recalibrated phone still the glance view and double tap to wake up isn't working with screen time out being 1 minute and it dims and turns off in seconds.
Any one know this problem or a fix may be. Kindly put your effort and thoughts I to the topic thank you.

You are welcome

That was really helpful. But my problem is wierd. But first is there a away to turn Glance view off or on. My problem is it doesnt respond to knockOn while screen is off. But what I noticed it sometimes catches some swipes or touches to turn the screen on. No Glance view niether knockOn is working like supposed to. I already did a reset. I did removed the screen protector and case and restart still no luck. Please any idea. It used to work till a couple a weeks when I changed my UI launcher to pixle launcher. So i thought it was the problem but after reset no luck.
One more thing which is the most annoying . I used to unlock my phone using knockcode while screen was off. Now every thing went to a disaster. I also tried contacting LG they want me to send it for repair And I cant just live without a phone.
After disabiling knockon. It still wake up by touching it or swiping down. It doesnt change its behavior. But what I noticed is covering th front sensors does stop it from waking .
Update: After testing. I noticed the problem. When I double tap for knockon. It takes 2 to 5 seconds for the screen to respond and turn on. Glance view same behavior but still hard to get it right I have to touch and hold and wait then swipe down and wait. But what didnt even work knock code while sleep. Anyways the delay in respond is really bad. It never took that long.

That was really helpful. But my problem is wierd. But first is there a away to turn Glance view off or on. My problem is it doesnt respond to knockOn while screen is off. But what I noticed it sometimes catches some swipes or touches to turn the screen on. No Glance view niether knockOn is working like supposed to. I already did a reset. I did removed the screen protector and case and restart still no luck. Please any idea. It used to work till a couple a weeks when I changed my UI launcher to pixle launcher. So i thought it was the problem but after reset no luck.

Did you find a solution for this problem, my phone is behaving the same as yours and i even had it send to the service at lg but it came back the same, they said thet they change the motherboard in the phone.
I noticed that if i change my knock knock code to a pattern or just not useing a double tap in the code (just a single tap on every square) it enables the double tap to wake but still w/ a problem.... the glance dosen't work but if i touch the screen just once it truns on wich is very annoying because it turns the screen on in my pocket and ther it gose the battery.
I'm very sorry for my bad english.

I wish I were able, But not. I use dual boot with linageOS as daily driver I switch to the stock ROM in sec when I need to take photos. And back to LinageOS.
Thats not a solution. But no other I could do.
Last time I will use an LG product.

I have exactly what you have. To stop the phone waking itself in your pocket, I disabled KnockOn. This means we can't double tap to wake but it's better than a dead battery. Scroll up as someone has shown steps on how to enable/disable this.

Android Auto, Car Mode and Pixel XL

A couple of questions:
- Is there anyway to disable car mode on this device? I am unable to find the app to disable or force stop it.
- Will google assistant find its way into Android Auto?
Thanks,
Stan

How did you enable car mode? I've moved a magnet all over trying to find the reed switch to trigger car mode and I can't find it. I found the switch to shut the screen off but that doesn't help. I have some tasker profiles that turn on when the phone has been docked in my car. These worked great on my Moto X, but since I can't find the dock reed switch on the Pixel I can't use them.

Once you have plugged your phone into the USB port on your car, AA launches and disables all control of your phone from the screen. The only interface you have available is what AA presents you with on the touch screen of your car. As this is done for safety reasons, there's no way to disable this feature.
Voice commands still work for my phone in my cars. Touch the microphone icon. I'm not sure about Google Assistant, because I don't use it.

I use tasker to enable car mode when I connect to bluerooth. That way I can have car home ultra as my home screen while driving. It makes the navbar huge and takes away the recents button.
It also seems to break Assistant. If I hold home, the screen grab comes up, the mic sound activates, then listening immediately stops. I know this because my podcast player will pause when google assistant is launched and resume when I am done with her. In car mode, the podcast stops, the beep happens, and then the podcast immediately resumes, nothing pops up and no response to anything I say.

Note that this is a good mod, but it won't work with Android Auto. I only mention this in case someone down the road wonders...

On first press of home I can choose car home ultra or android auto. Choosing Android auto starts to launch then closes quickly (I don't have AA in my car). I assumed if I had AA in car than this would connect to it but I know nothing about it.

Kind of. I use AA for navigation. Launch Google Maps on my phone > plug into USB port on my car and AA automatically launches on my phone. Within a second or two the phone touch screen is locked, and you can't do anything with it directly until you unplug it. Only control is via car touch screen.

FYI: The app "Car Mode Control" by ig88 will simply toggle car mode on and off.
I've used "Car Dock Home v3" as my launcher while driving for years now (MotoX 2013). Moving to the Pixel has broken voice commands while in Car Mode. I'd just assumed that the new Assistant would be even better than before. When I say "OK Google" I hear the chime, but nothing happens.
Hands free use of my phone is disabled while driving, really? This is a major disappointment with my pixel.

Intersting. Mine does not work in that manner. I can drag down from the top of the screen while in AA and tap the notification to turn off auto mode.

If you're rooted, then I can give you a framework-res.apk with car mode disabled permanently. Or tell you where to go to mod it on your own.
You must be rooted though and have a good root browser like Root Explorer.

I've downloaded the 'Drivemode' app which work very well for me, you can have it set to enable drive mode when you connect to your cars Bluetooth or alternatively have it set to start when it relates you are driving.
The app will read out your messages, even whatsapp, and will let you run navigation underneath a translucent music app of choice.
