Here's the foundation. It assumes the last Call or SMS is what needs response …


AAAA (562)
A1: Variable Set [ Name:%calld To:%CDATE Recurse Variables:Off Do Maths:Off Append:Off ]
A2: Variable Split [ Name:%calld Splitter:- Delete Base:Off ]
A3: Variable Set [ Name:%calldt To:%calld1%calld2%calld3%CTIME Recurse Variables:Off Do Maths:Off Append:Off ]
A4: Variable Set [ Name:%smsd To:%SMSRD Recurse Variables:Off Do Maths:Off Append:Off ]
A5: Variable Split [ Name:%smsd Splitter:- Delete Base:Off ]
A6: Variable Set [ Name:%smsdt To:%smsd1%smsd2%smsd3%SMSRT Recurse Variables:Off Do Maths:Off Append:Off ]
A7: If [ %calldt > %smsdt ]
A8: Call [ Number:%CNUM Auto Dial:Off ]
A9: Else
A10: Send SMS [ Number:%SMSRF Message:%SMSRN this is a sample message. Store In Messaging App:Off ]
A11: End If
A12: Flash [ Text:C: %calldt
S: %smsdt Long:On ]

You learn Tasker by experimentation.

When in a Variable Split action (or any action for that matter) click on the Help button and it tells you what the action does.

When in a Variable Set action (or any action for that matter) click on the Help button and it tells you what the action does

What I posted is creating two date time character strings so they can be compared so you can tell what was the last one. One is the last incoming Call and the other is the last incoming SMS. This will then tell you if you are responding to a Call or an SMS.

If you have a string %samp that is …
this-is-a-sample
… and do a Variable Split with - as the splitter you will get …
%samp1 is this
%samp2 is is
%samp3 is a
%samp4 is sample

%samp1%samp2%samp3%samp4 will then be thisisasample

Tom, why am I getting this from tasker?, and once this is on the screen my phone is ususeable until it clears..and it clears sometimes after 5 minutes..I have to boot my phone..so I'm finding my self booting the phone at least 10 times a day..


I don't have that many profiles, and I deleted a lot of them just trying to find a solution..


I've froze another several profiles too just to see what's triggering this annoying error..
Another thing..I've never heard or read that any ones complains about this issue before..am I the only one?



Thank you in advance!

I have never gotten this message before on any device.

What version of Android are you using? If it less than 8.0 any the cure for almost all memory problems is to do a Wipe Cache Partition that deletes all temporary files and does not touch installed apps or settings. (Some old games kept progress data in the Cache Partition and if you have one of those the data will be lost.)

Over time the cache partition can become fragmented and cause all manner of memory problems. It was done away with in Android 8.

I don't know. I use Chomp SMS. Why don't you try capturing something coming in from WhatsUp and tell us the answer.
