Hey! I wanted to know if there was a way to set up a tasker profile to activate ultra power saving mode, once I hit a certain battery percentage..( would've posted this in the tasker forum, but, to my knowledge, only the note 4 has ultra power saving mode.)

i dont think tasker can do this automatically but you should be able to do it with some additional programming. Example - you can simulate screen input (screen tapping) so you can set a profile to open the settings, go to power saving option and enable it. Downfall is that you need the screen on, in order to do this, which you can use tasker to automate as well.

Hi developers!
Would anyone be able to develop a tweak for the Desire so that we could use the volume keys to also modify the screen brightness up and down.
I'm thinking of something like when you first press the + or - button, a pop-up appears on the screen asking you whether you want to switch to brightness control and tapping on the screen would effectively switch to brightness control, while not tapping the screen but keeping pressing on the + or - button would maintain the default volume control (so that people who do not need the brightness control would not suffer the hassle of this additional option).
I think such tweaked feature would be a great addon to our phone. I'm used to use the lowest brightness possible in order to save battery but once I go outdoor or in any bright environement, I need to rapidely increase the screen brightness without the hassle of having to go through Settings etc...
Unfortunately, I'm no developer myself

You should try Brightness Profiles

Why dont you use power control from widgets.
So brightness can be changed without exiting apps.
A bit like in-app wifi switch (switch wifi with search button)
The dev of this app is on this forum and may be able to help.

Yes I know, I'm already using it
It is the best thing I found so far for my need, but it is still not perfect!
Because when I'm using an App requiring more brightness, I still need to "quit" it go to Home, hit the Brightness Profiles widget, change the brightness and switch back to the App.
For ultimate convenience, I wish I could just use the volume control buttons so that I would never have to go back and forth off my App screen...
I'm probably too lazy but still, that would be a cool feature (not less useful imho than using than tweaking the trackpad to make it a power button).

This is exactly the philosophy behind what i'm looking for... and I was thinking of using the volume keys because brightness needs to be set up and down just like volume...
I think a switch may be better. Pressing it forces 100%. Then you could use a less used key. Like holding search.
Search for in-app wifi toggle in the market and email the dev. You never know he may develop the app you want if it only involves changing a few lines in his existing app.

The way I get round this is using Bar Control to put a shortcut to Brightness Profiles in the notification window shade - so changing the brightness is only ever a drag then tap away. You never have to leave your current app at all.
Tbh though, I would rather a hardware control like the vol key - the other day I had gone outside in the bright sun, and I honestly thought my phone had switched itself off cos I couldn't see the screen well enough to perform this simple procedure.
It's pretty rubbish imho that the battery life/poor AMOLED screen tech mean we have eff around changing screen brightness manually. In fact I'd go so far as to say it's a major fault with the phone...
Hi everyone,
So I have mounted my tablet in the centre console of my car flush, the last bit is getting tasker to react in the correct way.
The problem I'm getting is that split second when you turn the key from 'on' to turning it over it looses power. This plays around with the profiles I have set up...
Has anyone made a task that will stop it from turning on and off and back on again when the car starts up or make it load smoother?
Thanks Chad

I don't know your exact situation or what your tasker proffile setup is, but couldn't you simply add in a wait for x seconds step in one of your profiles?
My set up is like this:
Profile - State - Power (Any)
Task:
Blue tooth on
Wifi on
Car home ultra open
Pop message
Profile 2: State - Power (invert)
Task:
Pop message
Blue tooth off
Wifi off
Kill Car home ultra
Screen lock
That's what I'm using at the moment but that split second just messes with it.. Makes it all muddled up as in a short time it's turning on, off and on again.
Would that time task you suggested bypass it recognising that it's losing power?

By no means am I a pro with Tasker, but you could probably put in a wait command at the beginning of the 1st profile and it may stay alive when the car loses it's power for that short time.
I'll give that a go and see if it works.
Will let you know of the outcome
Thank you!
It didn't work unfortunately..
Any other ideas, links, answers to help me out on this?
I would really appreciate it!

Press and hold the Profile and select the properties and set the cool down timer to a value so that the profile can't attempt to run again so soon, but that might have unfavorable results too. So, since the power on sensor is causing this, you might consider splitting the task into multiple Profiles where the Power on only turns on the Bluetooth, with some other Profiles configured using net Bluetooth connected and Bluetooth invert doing the rest maybe?

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 just downloaded tasker. It seems like an amazing application but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to use it. Here are the tasks that I would like to program:
1) Set Wifi On when I am at home using cell towers
2) Set Wifi Off when I leave home
3) Change volume level to vibrate when I plug it in to the charger and allow emergency calls from certain phone numbers (I read you can do this)
4) Set volume level to highest setting when the phone is unplugged
5) Launch Pandora when my phone is connected to bluetooth
If someone could post step by step instructions that would be great. My hope is once I learn to do these, I can figure out how to program other tasks. Thanks.

1+2) New Profile "Home" State->Phone->Cell Near - Under Cell Tower press scan and walk around the house to register a few cell towers.
Go to tasks and create new task "Enter Home" - New - Wifi - On
Repeat with a task "Exit Home" - New - Wifi - Off
Go to profiles long press "Home" select Enter Home as entry task and Exit Home as exit task.
Same logic for the others

I can't get the silent mode one to work. It seems pretty simple so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. This is what I'm doing
Create Profile - State-Power-AC
Create Task-Audio- Silent Mode On- Set as Enter Task
Create Task-Audio-Silent Mode Off- Set as Exit Task
Doesn't work.

It should work. Are you plugging it on AC or USB? Does the profile activate? (is it green?)

Ditto! I also find myself completely baffled by it every day, despite having used it for years and being a programmer. The more complicated stuff you try to do, the more you'll be both amazed and confounded by the capabilities
I have seen in other threads that people use tasker to turn of their tablet when there is no power, for example when you turn of ignition in cars etc.
I want to do the same, since it will be getting cold here in a couple of months. This together with fastboot, will be good. But i see no option in tasker to turn off the tablet completely when there is no power present?
Anyone want to help me out?

I hope you're familiar with how Tasker works. If not, please read some basic tutorials.
Create a new profile State->Power->Power
On the State edit leave the Source as Any and tick the Invert box, so this works when it is not charging.
Create a new task and add a new action System->Reboot
On the Action edit view there is a Type selector, when you tap it you're presented with a list of different options, one of those is shutdown, select it and that's it.
