What Tasker profiles is everyone using?? (This thread is NOT for requesting help with profiles)

I have a profile with context car dock, and navigation app cause mobile data to turn on, wait a minute and turn off. I tested it in the tasker app, and mobile data turns on fine and it works.

But when I try to open the nav in the car dock app it just wont turn on mobile data. Any ideas?

Never live in the past but always learn from it.
 
Is it possible to have a 'general' profile that runs several contexts at once? For instance I have a bluetooth profile that switches off bluetooth when it realises it isn't connected anymore, but also want a profile for keeping the screen on with certain apps and a few other things which at the time of writing I've forgotten what they were lol.

I don't really want to have to have loads of profiles for each thing but think I will, as don't the contexts where together as a 'and' status?

Hope this makes sense
 
I am new to tasker.

Is it possible to create a task that will stop sms text from coming into my phone afer certain time of day or from a group or contacts.
If so can you point me on how to set up.

Thanks in advance

I don't know about stopping them from coming to your phone, but you can turn off the notifications at pre-determined times. For instance, I have a profile that turns off my notifications tone so text messages do not bother me from 10 pm to 7 am, yet the ringer stays on in case I get a call in the middle of the night that needs to wake me.
 
Ugh... my profiles disappeared! Looks like I get to start all over.

Next time I'm backing them up.

Create a new profile with the context from XX time to XX time (put in the times you want)
then task option is Notification Volume, and set the level to zero
Then create an exit task and turn the volume back up.

I actually created two tasks and called one Notify vol up and one Notify vol dwn with each of them with the correct volumes...

Hope this helps.....
 
Just downloaded Tasker a short while back and am using it to start mobile data through Widgetsoid and sync emails every hour for a duration of 3 minutes, then it shuts down mobile data and sync and continues to do this every hour on the hour.

Doing this sure has saved my battery, I never saw the sense of having mobile data on and auto sync on every minute of the day while the phone is in my pocket and I am not even looking at it.

Great program, now trying to think up other tasks that it can do for me.
 
I've been having some serious issues with using Tasker's lock feature (the one that utilizes the pattern lock).
I have three profiles setup for this. Home, Class, and Car, where the lock is supposed to be deactivated, and then reactivated when I leave.

However, they are never consistent. Tasker will recognize that I have entered the class or home profile, and deactivate the lock. But then, later, the lock will activate again, and no amount of entering/exiting or enabling/disabling the profiles will get it to deactivate the lock! I then have to restart the phone to get Tasker back on track.

Anyone have a tip on a way to remedy this problem? Thank you.
 
Hi I'm having a tough time. here is all I want tasker to do for .

I have a car dock. So when my phone is placed into the car dock I want to launch BT settings and them connect to my BT receiver in my car.

So... place phone in dock....open BT settings-- and choose my BT receiver for my car. connect to the adpater. Once it's connected power amp takes over and start playing my music.


Any help? TIA

The only time I had this happen was when I had 2 profiles stepping over each other. I made a icon on a screen where I can turn on and off lock. I leave it off at home but away profiles turn it on. You should also be able to turn Tasker on and off without having to restart your phone.

I'm on my phone or I'd tell you how in steps. :)
Create a profile where it detects that you docked. Then create a task that does what you want it to do. I know that may not help but here's something that can.

This page will show you step by step instructions on setting things up on your phone. If you follow through some of these, setting up a Dock profile will be a no brainer. You'll also see some things here that give you ideas.

Can tasker be used with google voice?

google voice can be placed on a schedule for incoming calls not to forward but not for text messages.

I would like to know if their is a way to make changes to incoming gv text messages. eg. on a time frame not to notify, forward to email...
 
Does anyone know if tasker can read the the incoming text phone number from google voice on your phone.
If so,

Can you tell me what task to use.

thanks in advance
 
Hey, guys!

1. I'm still trying to figure out how to make the ringer volume go down (for example by half) when I pick up the phone. (HTC Desire has this feature embedded, but I'm on Oxygen now =)
Is it possible?

2. Moreover, stock HTC Desire can mute the incoming call when you turn the phone over. Is it possible to do the same with Tasker?


Thanks! A step-by-step guide will be really good =)
 
For some reason at the moment, when I plug my phone to charge at night and my sleep profile kicks, every now and then it lights up. I've been looking at adding a situation for turning the display off with the power button but can't find the option.

Not sure why it keeps lighting up, nothing appears on screen and I always turn the display off with the power button

thanks for the help on silencing the incoming text from google voice.

I also created a profile on a schedule time to remove the google voice text notification on the notification bar. This way any text comes in from google voice, the first profile silences it and the next profile removes it from the notification bar. This way i can keep my google voice text(work text) from notifying me. :)
It also silences regular texts but it still provide a notification via vibrate.

Anyone want to know how i set it up let me know.
 
I'd be interested in finding out the answer to stuarta's problem of the phone lighting up at nght because I have the same problem. It seems to do it randomly and I can't think of a cause.

After 2.0.1 I think AdamG removed the Oxygen settings, in CM7 it's in the CM7 settings section. Oxygen also lost the trackball wake function, which is mostly why I stopped using Oxygen.
