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

Here is what I can contribute with:



1) Turn GPS on automatically when open a app that requires GPS and turn off when leave the application.
Event: Application: Distance Measure, Latitude, Google Maps, Vehicle Mode, GPS Navigator, OpenSignal, Radardroid, Strava, Wikitude
Action: GPS On
Exit task: GPS Off

2) Sleep mode: turn off wifi, GPS, Bluethooth, AutoSync, 3G and set screen brightness to 0 between 23:55 and 7:00.
Event: Time
Action: WiFi (off), GPS (off), Auto-Sync (off), Bluetooth (off), Auto Brightness (off), Mobile Data (off), Display Brightness (0)

3) Low Battery Level: turn off wifi, GPS, Bluethooth, AutoSync, 3G and set screen brightness to 0 when battery level is bellow 20%.
Event: State: baterry level 0, 20
Action: WiFi (off), GPS (off), Auto-Sync (off), Bluetooth (off), Auto Brightness (off), Mobile Data (off), Display Brightness (0)

4) PowerSave mode: when put the phone with face down, set screen to go off in 7 seconds, turn off Wifi, GPS, Bluethooth, Sync, 3G and vibrate to confirm it's working.
(this is when I want to save battery even when battery level is high)
Event: State, Sensors: Face down
Action: Screen Timeout (7), WiFi (off), GPS (off), Auto-Sync (off), Bluetooth (off), Auto Brightness (off), Mobile Data (off), Display Brightness (0), Vibrate (500).

5) Automatically send SMS message to a friend in her birthday.
Very simple to setup.


Now I want to create automatic backup by wireless. If someone have any idea, I will appreciate.

Basically I have a draft that is:

- Turn FTP Droid On between 20:00 and 20:30.
- Turn on AutoSync.
- Windows will turn my backup program (SyncBack) on at 20:01
Backup will be done by wireless
- End FTPDroid at 20:30.

This way I don't have to do anything and all my data in the SDCard will be copied to my desktop everyday. Since I'm always home at this time with wireless on won't be a problem.
The problem is that it's not working very well. The problem is with SyncBack actually, that freezes and do not support FTP very well.
Does anyone have any idea on a simple way to copy files from SDCard to the desktop by wireless? Need to be by wireless because the backup system needs to be automatically, without any interaction from the user.
 
Is there a tasker file that helps with Groove IP battery drain? I really like to RECEIVE incoming GV calls but can't afford to have Groove IP constantly on...
 
Here's mine... I have a Galaxy S2

APPS
Launching Games
- Brightness = 64

Launching Camera
- Brightness = 64
- Media Volume = 0

Launching Navigation
- Brightness = 74
- Timeout = 23h
- Car mode = On

Launching Police Lights
- Brightness 255
- Timeout = 23h

--------------------

TIME
0100 - 0559
- Brightness = 0
- Timeout = 2m

0600 - 1759
- Brightness = 44
- Timeout = 2m

1800 - 0059
- Brightness = 30
- Timeout = 2m

--------------------

STATE
Batt Level 1 - 20
- Brightness = 0
- Timeout = 1
- Wifi = Off
- Bluetooth = Off
- AutoSync = Off

Power AC or USB
- Brightness = 74
- Timeout = 23h
- Load App = Clock
- Mobile Data = On

-------------------------

EVENT
Display Off
- Mobile Data = Off

Display On
- Mobile Data = On

The last 2 profiles are there because I'm trying to make a Juice Defender inspired task but I'm pretty stuck.

I created a TIME task as a trial but it doesn't work that well....

0600 - 2200 every 15 minutes
- IF %SCREEN ~ ON
Mobile Data = ON

END IF

What I wanted to happen is...
If the screen is off, Turn off Mobile Data.
Then next 15 minutes, if the screen is still off.... Turn ON Mobile Data.
Then the next 15 minutes, if the screen is still off... Turn OFF Mobile Data.
 
I am trying the 7 day free trial of TASKER since you made it sound so appealing.

I have a question to you Tasker experts. I set up APPS, Wifi & GPS to go on and off by location and based on if Wifi is on or by GPS location.

How do I use my movement (miles per hour) in the profiles/tasks? Please give me an example.

Thanks

I am not sure how to use speed, but keep in mind that using GPS for location based tasks will kill your battery. Tasker is always very low on my list of what uses my battery, but I only use WiFi to identify a location if I need to.

Just don't give up on Tasker if it drains your battery a lot due to GPS.

I have an auto text when I'm driving that fires off when I receive a text. It states the speed I'm traveling at and my location. Not vital but a bit of fun to be able to do. I'm not sure how to post it here so you could download but I can email the necessary task/profile if you like.

But what we want is the speed to trigger an event, not to be a task.
I think I read about your profile that will send a message with the speed for those who call you while you are driving, right?

But is it possible to make the movement above x start some tasks?

For me would be very useful. When I'm at home my phone is 95% on the desk. So, I would like to lock the screen and my phone starts to move. So, instead of checking all the time the wireless to see if I'm at home, Tasker will only need to check if it's moving or not. Is that possible?

That would be helpful ...thanks. I will PM you my email address. Did you find that profile somewhere and copy it (how you figured out that setup)?

Once I see that profile, I MAY be able to figure out how to make it a trigger. :)

I'm not sure this will help in terms of phone in hand movement as it tasks a while to get the data by which time the phone might have stopped moving. You would be better off trying to use the accelerometer maybe.

Regarding my profile it is made up of a combination of others people help.I forgot right now where I got the convertlocspd task from...I certainly didn't make it myself. I'm sure it was someone on one of these threads.

it just converts the information from the variables when a gps is found to mph.

Variable set

Name %LOCSPDMPH

To %LOCSPD*2.23693629

I appreciate your help alackman (and everyone else too).

With that said, I have learned alot from you all and set up quite a few profiles.

I am now trying to set up a Popup for Calendar appointments, like I did for incoming texts.

The problem I have is, I don't know the code language for the calendar popup. I don't know if it's really possible.

Thanks again!
 
I also do location by Wifi, I believe you can do a cell tower too even. I haven't tried that in a while. When it detects a wifi where I go, I have it set to vibrate, change my wallpaper and a number of things. GPS will eat up your battery if it doesn't lock.
 
I should have added that I only use this location profile when I'm in the car. So naturally I have it on car charge so battery drain not an issue. I do use call towers for a home profile, this way when I leave home, my wifi gets turned off and prevents phone searching for open wifi and therefore preventing battery drain even further.

The best resource besides several threads on this board I've found is the Tasker Wiki

Have a look at this in the wiki. If you import it into your taker you might be able to use it as a starting point for what you want?

I only have a sound profile thing to mute notifications and turn down the ringer volume when I'm sleeping.
Click to expand...

much the same as me, except I have mine tuned to a point that the ringer will come on when certain people call and then turn off again after a few minutes...pretty handy really..

the other ones I have are just kill ANY internet when certain apps are running...stops ads appearing lol

also have a one set to kill everything and drop brightness when battery hits 20% and put up a notification to charge.

Exit tasks like you are looking for can be some of the trickiest to set up. Been working a lot lately, but I'll try to set up an example profile in the next couple days.

Basically... You need a profile to trigger when you arrive at the location (profile a). One of the tasks that it needs to execute is to enable a profile (profile b) that will execute when you are no longer at that location. The last task for profile b needs to be disable profile b. If you don't disable that profile it will continue sending the message because the profile will remain active.
 
Well, I've had "TASKER" since Mid November and I'm VERY happy. I have the following set up working smooth:

a. Tell me when wifi connects or disconnects (via speech).
b. Tell me when my phone is fully charged (via speech).
c. Make a reminder beep 5 minutes after a missed text and 4 more reminders until viewed.
d. Changes my Background image at work, home (after Wifi connect) and different otherwise depending on the time of day.
e. Adjusts my screen brightness & sound depending on what time of day, where I am, or what APP I start up, or if I'm driving (adjusted to day or night, depending).
f. When I get in my car it turns on GPS, turns off Wifi, activates my Trapster (police radar program), my email/text voice reader and activates my speakerphone and Car Dock app.
g. When I come within range of my work or home networks, it activates my Wifi and searches for my SSID networks to connect to.
h. When I get out of my car, it tells me (via speech) to "Turn off Driving Apps". [Note: Gingerbread operating system doesn't allow one app to turn off another.] Turns off GPS.
i. I added a permanent icon on my pull down notification bar for adjusting BRIGHTNESS.
j. I added a permanent icon on my pull down notification bar for adjusting SOUND.
k. I added a permanent icon on my pull down notification bar for PHONE.
l. I added a permanent icon on my pull down notification bar for turning WIFI on/off.
m. When I plug headphones into my Bionic, it adjusts my volume down and pops up a Menu of APPS that are usually activated while wearing headphones.
n. I created a Widget for Navigation Favorites, when pressed pops up a menu of stored locations I may want to click on for directions.
o. Find phone, when I text a word or phrase, I am text back a map showing the location determined by using GPS and WIFI.
p. App orientation, I set it to automatically change the screens orientation when I activated certain apps to the desired format.
q. When I activate my Bed Dock, it adjusts my screen brightness real low. And in the morning it adjusts the brightness back to normal.
r. If I turn my phone "face down" it goes into silent mode.
s. I set it to "override" silent mode, if my wife calls.
t. I can text a certain word/phrase to my phone to make loud noise when I can't find it (which overrides silent mode).
u. If I turn my phone "upside down" it turns on my FLASHLIGHT app.
v. I have a "I'm busy, text me back" mode, if on (and can set a timer too), anyone calling will get an auto reply saying "I'm not available right now, please text me and I will reply when I can".
w. When I click on my Camera Icon/Widget, a Menu pops up where I can choose different camera apps or camcorder.
x. And I have a song Widget, where a Menu pops up to start a certain song and stop a certain song. I use that one to make my Granddaughter smile when I'm trying to take a picture.
 
It seems that Tasker isn't able to turn GPS on or off on Gingerbread phones, such as the Galaxy S2. Does anyone know of an alternative way of turning on GPS whenever Google Navigation is launched in Gingerbread?

Yes, it does turn my GPS on and off. :)

Those are all great DanDroide, but I bet your battery doesn't last the day.

And yes, my battery is better than ever. The fact that my wifi is turned on automatically when I get near home and work has nearly doubled my battery life. Surprised me!

It's not on 4g unnecessarily and it doesn't search for wifi all day, only when I'm near home or work.
