[Q] Tasker & screen off

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!

Tasker to turn on do not disturb?

Does anyone know how to set up a task to turn on do not disturb, or priority only, or whatever it's called? Coming from htc, you could just tell tasker to turn the volume all the way down or turn on silent mode. Can't seem to duplicate that on the g4. I'm using smart settings now, but the results are inconsistent.

i think you need secure settings (plugin, playstore) to archive this

In Tasker, there's an option for Audio > Interrupt Mode - in there you can choose Priority or All. This should do what you want.
I have Tasker setup to mute the phone just before and just after the "battery full" sound plays, as it cannot be disabled (without root).

Perfect, thanks. And I was using a task to turn off the battery full sound also, until I realized that I can just keep the volume level for "touch feedback and system" all the way down. That gets rid of the battery full sound along with some of the other ones that were bothering me.
My favorite g4 tasker workarounds are to set up a task to turn the volume all the way back up again after I plug in headphones and it automatically turns down the volume "to protect my hearing", and adding an icon in the status bar whenever it's charging because I need a visual confirmation that it's still plugged in and I can't make out that lightning bolt in the default battery icon.

Trun phone vibration mode automatically?

Came from nexus6p. Usually I set tasker profile to trigger the work location and then put the phone to vibration mode automatically. However, it failed on the new oneplus 5T. Is there any way to do that without manually push the alter slider?

It should work the same on 5T. Make sure you gave tasker all access (i.e. usage access, notification access)

Unfortunately not. Takser has given all access. but if the alter slide in bottom postion, the ringstone volume cannot down to 0. while if the alter slide in top and middle, you cannot enable ring.

You can set Do Not Disturb mode to Alarms with Tasker and your phone will be silent with vibration turned on.

Silent mode

Hi Guys,
How to activate the silent mode in the 5t? I am looking for complete silent mode like we have in Samsung phones. I am able to reduce noise level but it cannot be reduced fully. I am looking for silent mode+vibration for calls.
Thanks

Over volume button You have slider to switch sound profiles, test it in all 3 states. You can also set own settings in there.

Have tried the DND button but a. it disables all the vibration and b. it does not solve the purpose of silent for every call, sms, notification etc and vibration for them all. Never thought such a simple setting would be missing.

I'm using "Ringer Modes - Quick Tile" to get the mode like Samsung

Just slide the switch on the left side of the phone (right above the volume buttons) all the way up. That's the vibrate only mode.
If you switch it to the middle you get Do Not Disturb mode and all the way down is normal mode. The switch work the exact same way as the silent/vibrate mode of all other phones.

Bypassing DND mode

Hello,
Is there any way to make some applications to bypass DND mode and work normally even when DND is enabled?
On my previous phone i could for example select Instagram video calls to bypass DND mode , now there is no such option.
I guess its due to the different android version but is there a way?
Thanks in advance for your help

I haven't found such option in the settings, but you might do a workaround with Tasker (intercept selected notifications, turn off DND, push custom notification with sound, turn DND on again).
