[Q] NFC Task Launcher & Tasker

I am using a Verizon Galaxy Nexus with stock 4.0.2. I am trying to use NFC Task Launcher in conjunction with Tasker, but it doesn't seem to be working. Basically, I just have two simple tasks I created in Tasker, the first one simply enables car mode and the second disables car mode. Inside of NFC Task Launcher I created switch, with the first task being to launch the car mode enabled task from tasker and the second to run the disable task from tasker.
When I write the tag and test it, I see in my status bar that the the task is run in NFC Task Launcher but nothing actually happens...my phone does not go into car mode as it should. FYI, I have the Car Mode Control app and CarHome Ultra app on my phone to make up for Samsungs lack of car mode options. I also have the "allow external access" option checked in Tasker. Just to be sure I wasn't missing something small, I created another task to just open an app and that didn't work as well.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated!

Was Tasker installed before NFC Task Launcher? This is necessary as it provides a permission and Android's current permission model breaks if package A provides a permission to B but B was installed before A.
Worked!
Wow, that worked. Thank you!
Bluetooth
I have a follow up question regarding turning on and off bluetooth. I used NFC Task Launcher to enable/disable bluetooth. The enabling part works, but it won't disable it. Any ideas?
I have a question about tasker
I am new to this forum after getting some NFC tags and I saw some good ideas about what to do with the tags from another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428226)
I would like to know if there is a way to use if then statements in tasker to swap my WiFi for the below scenario
I have two wireless networks at home (Lounge Network/Office Network) and I will have a NFC tag between the two networks. I would like the event to identify the network I am connected to and pick the other.
Any help with this would be great

Again, I tried this several times with no avail. Any help?
Edit: I had a colon in the task name. It won't launch the task if there is one. May want to add that to your app description.

[Q] Location Services / Settings.apk on non-rooted Fire TV sideloaded Android App

Hi folks,
I'm running a non-rooted Fire TV using the latest firmware (51.1.4.1_user_514013920) that is non Rootable.
I'm trying to run NHL Gamecenter, Global GO and other sideloaded android apps that require me to turn on Google's Location Services.
I understand that I can run NHL Gamecenter under XBMC and Ive gotten that to work but I would like to get other apps such as Global GO to work so I can get live TV streamlining working.
I sideloaded the Settings.apk that was referenced in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/help/how-to-enable-location-services-fire-tv-t2908270
but it doesn't work. The "Settings" app just closes when I attempt to check any of the check boxes under Location Services. If you go back into Location Services, the boxes remain unchecked.
I also found this thread but I couldn't find the specific of Settings.apk that was being used for Bluetooth.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714494
Does Settings.apk work on non-rooted Fire TVs? or only rooted Fire TVs?
If it does work, does anyone have a newer version of Settings.apk that will work a non-rooted Fire TV running the latest firmware (51.1.4.1_user_514013920)?
Thanks in advance for the help
bump! anyone???
im not 100 percent on this....but I'm pretty sure the problem is hardware related since location often relies on gps antenna and i see no such antenna in specs. my setting app simply crashes when i try to select location settings for foxsportsgo app.

you make a good point m0nkeyf00t! However, location services can rely on WiFi if GPS is not enabled. With that said, I'm not sure if its crashing settings.apk because the GPS hardware is not even available. Based on the previous threads that I posted, others seemed to have gotten it working but I'm not sure if it requires root.
Here's a google reference to location services re: GPS, WiFi & cellular networks:
The Google Maps Coordinate mobile app uses the location information on your Android mobile device to provide an estimate of your location to your dispatcher and mobile team. To estimate your location, your mobile device can access GPS satellites, Wi-Fi networks, and mobile networks. GPS provides the most accurate location information, but you'll improve accuracy further if you also allow your device to access mobile networks and Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi improves location accuracy even if you're not connected to a network).
To use Wi-Fi, you'll need to make sure Wi-Fi is enabled on your device.
hmmm interesting im on nonrootable stick I guess im stuck using kobi with sportsdevil or my wifes s5 with miracast for now. pm me if u ever find a fix.
I know the BT settings doesn't require root because I used it to add a BT keyboard to my FireTV Stick which cannot be rooted.

thanks mvanzante! can you do me a favor and try to enable Location Service on your FireTV stick? Can you let me know if that works or doesn't?
Anyone able to get an updated settings.apk that will allow location services to be checked off?

Couple of Bluetooth doubts

Hi there. First of all, I'm NO root. So I can't use Wanam Xposed. Maybe we can help each other to solve these issues.
-Is it possible to disable bluetooth popup when enabling it? I don't want to select my already connected device each time I want to enable BT.
-Is it possible to change the default player for BT? When I'm connected to my car and I touch "play" button, the default Music app in the phone starts, not the lastest one or any other app. I'd like to open another app instead (podcast player).
-Is it possible to enable Bluetooth WITHOUT unlocking the phone? I mean, from the lockscreen. (I have fingerprint security)
Thanks!
Why?
This link doesn't make any sense, you wind up in the same place on a browser instead of the app that I paid for that doesn't work.
Pp.
AFIK there is no way to hide the Bluetooth popup without root. Also I don't mind the popup, better than having to go all the way through settings to connect to a Bluetooth device that I am not already paired with. also if multiple Bluetooth devices in the area that are paired you will just connect to one and you will have to go to settings to switch to the other device.
Default player would also have to be changed through root, If you even can.
And no you cannot turn off anything or open notifications when there is a screen lock. The whole point is to stop people from doing things to your phone while it is locked. However you can setup safe locations (uses gps to find your location) where your phone will stay unlocked just like when you have a trusted device connected via Bluetooth.

Miracast Issue*

I happily rooted with Elementalx and finally decided to use the cast feature from the pull down menu. So after buying Chromecast and get a ridiculous response which reads "device not supported and experience may vary" but bottomline didn't work. Now I have Screen Beam Pro and I go to cast but it does not show any available device.
So Not giving up I tried some apps to find one that works and I did and it has ads (don't want the app) but it recognized the Screen Beam device whereas before without the app, cast shows nothing.
How do I fix this to use OP3 cast feature?

Can't connect to Eos 80D via NFC

Hey guy,
I want to use my OnePlus 5T for photography with my Canon Eos 80d. With WiFi it is working well, but I want to use it with NFC when I am not at home. I have been following the steps from the manual, but my mobile gives me the comment, I cannot connect to the Camera, I shall check the setting. NFC in working Android Beam is also turned on. I am using the App Canon Camera Connect, which is great with WiFi. The 80D does not have an internal Bluetooth reciever. I have tried both "automatic connect" and "manual connect", always with the same result. Any ideas why I still cannot connect?
