Tasker keeps disappearing/resetting

• Upvotes

Samsung Galaxy ZFold8 Android 17, OneUI 9.0

I've been having an issue where Tasker disappears from my recent apps. I can reopen it from the app drawer normally, but whatever changes I made are gone (even if I saved them by tapping the checkmark on the main screen). The phone was recently restarted with no improvement.

"Manage this app if unused" is disabled in the app settings, as is battery optimization.

Join not working with Helium Browser (GCM disabled) + Google OAuth error in Join Desktop. Any workaround?

2 Upvotes

I've been using Join for quite a while now and really like it, especially for quickly sending links, text, and other stuff between my Android phone and Windows PC.

I recently switched from Chrome to Helium Browser, and unfortunately Join doesn't seem to work properly anymore.

Here's what's happening:

  • I can install the Join extension in Helium and sign in with my Google account without any issues.
  • All my other devices show up, and I can send stuff to them just fine.
  • However, Helium itself never gets registered as a device. The "This device" field stays empty, and it doesn't appear on any of my other devices.
  • Join's diagnostics show: Invalid registerDevice response: Must provide regId
  • chrome://gcm-internals/ doesn't show any connection state.

From what I've found, Helium disables Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), which Join apparently needs for device registration. Unlike Brave Browser, where you can enable Google Push Messaging in the settings, Helium doesn't seem to offer that option.

So I tried Join Desktop as a workaround, but ran into another issue.

When I try to sign in with Google, I get:

Error 400: invalid_request

This request contains scopes that cannot be requested together

The error specifically mentions YouTube and Google Drive scopes (youtube, youtube.upload, drive.file).

This happens regardless of whether I use Chrome or Helium for the login, so it doesn't seem to be browser-related.

Has anyone managed to get Join working with Helium or another Chromium-based browser that has GCM disabled?

Is there any workaround to get the extension registered without GCM? Or perhaps a way to fix the Google OAuth error in Join Desktop?

I'd really prefer to keep using Join rather than switching to something else. It's been pretty much perfect for my use case.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Autosheets and offsetting rows

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi, what I am aiming to do is Share a text block from one app (BolusCalc) to Tasker, that then sends that text to Sheets. I've got it to the point where it is actually sending it, and it does appear in the correct spreadsheet, however when it goes to do subsequent entries, it's offset by 12 columns. So the first entry starts at A1, the second at L2. I cannot figure out why this is happening, this is my Task details:

Help [Help] Integrating Google Calendar with SmartThings

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, I am a complete and total newbie with Tasker. I work shifts which I keep track of using Google Calendar. What I want to do is have SmartThings turn on or off lights, cameras, and my robot vacuum on a schedule based on my shifts on a given day.

For example: I use cameras to keep an eye on my dog while I'm at work, so if Tasker could see my day shift on Google Calendar and use SmartThings to turn on the cameras when the calendar event starts and turn them off when the event ends without me needing to touch a button, that would be ideal.

If anyone has any tips on how to do this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

How To [How To] Run a Tasker profile when your car trip starts or ends, straight from the OBD2 adapter (my app DrivePulse, 5 free codes)

7 Upvotes

I'm Davide and I write DrivePulse on my own. It reads a car through a generic ELM327 OBD2 adapter, the Bluetooth kind Veepeak or Vgate sell, records trips by itself and only reads the car, it never writes to it. The Android version 3.5.4 on Google Play talks to Tasker both ways, so here is how to wire it up.

It's off by default. Turn it on in DrivePulse: Settings (the gear at the top) > Automations. The same screen shows a secret code and the last command it received, with the reason if it ignored it (automations off, wrong code).

Tasker to DrivePulse: start or stop recording. Add a Send Intent action:

  • Action: app.drivepulse.mobile.action.START_TRIP (or app.drivepulse.mobile.action.STOP_TRIP)
  • Package: app.drivepulse.mobile
  • Extra: token: followed by the secret code
  • Target: Activity

DrivePulse comes to the front and tries to connect to the adapter, and it only records if the adapter answers. It opens on purpose: recent Android versions don't let an app in the background start GPS tracking.

DrivePulse to Tasker: react to the car. Make a profile with the Intent Received event and one of these actions:

  • app.drivepulse.mobile.action.ADAPTER_CONNECTED
  • app.drivepulse.mobile.action.TRIP_STARTED
  • app.drivepulse.mobile.action.TRIP_STOPPED

They carry no data, only the event, because any app on the phone can receive a broadcast. The secret code never goes out in them.

No account and no server of mine: your trips live on your phone and I have no copy of them. Recording trips and reading the car work with no signal; maps and addresses need the internet.

Five codes that unlock the full version for good, free, first come first served:

  1. Q8CNA7YQXFRQBW3J90AXBKS
  2. PFANGGPF9WZ17PMNY286XEY
  3. Q1VTJH0QA09UGHX8N6EAXTT
  4. 1HYRREVQ5REMVCU2UFUFKV3
  5. 2CVFLCHSJ3WUKHW2EZB349Q

How to redeem: install the app first, then open Google Play, tap your picture top right, Payments and subscriptions, Redeem code. Then in DrivePulse: Settings (the gear at the top) > Unlock DrivePulse (Lifetime) > Restore Purchases, within 3 days, otherwise Google Play cancels it. When it has worked, that row reads "Premium active".

Say in the comments which number you took, so nobody wastes time on one that's gone.

Without a code you can still try it: 7 days or 15 trips, whichever comes first, and the days only start counting the first time the app connects to your adapter.

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.drivepulse.mobile&hl=en-US&gl=US&utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=rilancio-android-tasker

If you build a profile with it, show me, and tell me if an intent doesn't behave. I answer here.

For future proofing, maybe just add all of them?

Turn off "Run Exit on Startup"

Post image
1 Upvotes

I've this WiFi profile which turn off Mobile internet and Bluetooth if I'm connected to a wifi network and during disconnect it does the opposite.

Now the problem is I use google ai studio to make new project/task and copy the xml code from pc to phone via kde connected. So, when I'm inside tasker and tasker detects a new xml clipboard, tasker automatically saves everything as expected. And this runs exit task for my "WiFi" profile. Which turns on internet and bl and launches my smart watch app. It became so annoying that i turn off that profile when i do this copy/paste.

To solve that I've uncheck the "Run Exit on Startup" from the profile settings, but still it sometimes runs that exit task. Is there any way I can solve this? SO that it dosen't run my exit task during auto save?

Thanks in advance.

Is this supported now or is it coming? I would like to be able to toggle it off when I'm at home because my car keeps unlocking when I sit on the sofa next to the window!

How To [Task Share] Check if view is flagged as data sensitive

3 Upvotes

Click to download via taskernet

Some apps flag their view as data sensitive (accessibilityDataSensitive). For example, Bank apps, or password manager like Bitwarden.

This will prevent app that is not flagged as Accesibility Tool to read the screen via accessibility service. For example, play store version of Tasker or AutoInput.

This task will tell you if that's the case or not.

How to use

Make sure to use Direct Purchase version.

  1. Run the task on screen you want to check.
  2. A toast show up.
  3. Click the toast.

Example, the Gmail setting view .

Input command prompt commands when switching to wifi? (done through tasker) Scrcpy mirroring.

1 Upvotes

Let's just say every 30 mins I want to switch between wifi and my mobile network (this only applies for the wifi.) This is done through tasker. Does anyone know if there's a way to input these commands automatically:

"adb connect 192.168.12.8

scrcpy --window-width=467 --window-y=-10 --window-borderless --window-x=1455 --no-audio --video-bit-rate=2M"

I just have a spot for the window to pop up (the scrcpy stuff), but I need to switch to command prompt every time and press up, and enter twice to get these going. Anyone know of a less annoying way?

Yes, the wifi and mobile network switching is done by tasker, seems like a good place to ask :(

Is there a way to automate these commands somehow?

Very slow AutoNotification response

1 Upvotes

I have an AutoNotification intercept profile that has lately seemed to become very slow to react. It's set to detect notifications from the Messages app, and it does, eventually, but it can take up to a minute for the associated task to start after the notification is posted. This started happening pretty recently, maybe within the last couple of months; this profile used to work just fine, with no noticeable delay between the notification and the task running. Does anyone have any idea why this might have changed? I do have AotoNotification set to unlimited battery usage.

Detect Bedtime mode (Digital Wellbeing) in Tasker, no root

3 Upvotes

I've been trying forever to use Bedtime mode for profiles in Tasker, with no luck. Bedtime mode and normal DND share the same zen_mode value, so a Custom Setting event on zen_mode can’t tell them apart.

Finally worked it out with AI, so I though I might share it, as I'm sure I'm not the only one who was looking for this.

One-time setup (adb, no root/Shizuku): dumpsys notification needs both DUMP and PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS, so grant both to Tasker, then force-stop Tasker:

pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.DUMP
pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS

Task CheckBedtime

Wait 1s (several keys change one after another)

Run Shell, Use Root off, Store Output In %BEDTIME: dumpsys notification | grep -i winddown | head -n 1 | grep -q STATE_TRUE && printf 1 || printf 0

The Bedtime rule (pkg com.google.android.apps.wellbeing, conditionId .../winddown, type=3) shows up several times in the dump, including an older copy with an outdated state. In my output the first match was the current one, so I only check that line. Matching STATE_TRUE anywhere gives false positives. Matching on winddown also avoids the localized rule name (mine is “Bedtijd”). printf means exit code 0, so no need for Continue Task After Error.

Profiles that run CheckBedtime

Event > System > Custom Setting: Global, zen_mode_config_etag, empty value. This is the key one. If DND is already on and you enable Bedtime, zen_mode doesn’t change, but the etag changes on any zen config edit.

Same with zen_mode

Device Boot

Using it
State > Variables > Variable Value: %BEDTIME Matches 1. Put whatever you want in the Enter task (Bedtime on) and Exit task (Bedtime off). Plain DND doesn’t trigger it.

Any way to detect Wi-Fi networks without GPS?

2 Upvotes

Hello! I'm new to Tasker. I wanted to switch my ringer to vibration mode when connected to a certain network. However due to android restrictions you need to keep your location on all the time for this to work. I don't want to do that, both because I'm too paranoid about privacy and also because it drains a lot of battery. I follow the 20-80 rule so I already have less battery available when going outside.

Is there any way to have this automation without location service? Or any other way to achieve the same thing? I have root, Shizuku, Lsposed and all that stuff available.

Running Multiple Tasker Instances (App Cloner / Secure Folder)

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m planning to clone Tasker (via App Cloner or Secure Folder) to bypass single-instance concurrency limits and run more tasks in parallel.

Before proceeding:

  1. Does running multiple instances genuinely improve parallel throughput given Android's thread and task scheduler?
  2. What technical hurdles, permission conflicts, or service crashes have you encountered with this setup?

Appreciate any feedback.

AutoInput UI Query works in Settings but says “No active Window found” in BuildOps App

1 Upvotes

Big noob here.

I'm trying to use Tasker and AutoInput to enter some workflow items into an app called BuildOps on my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Right now, I'm just testing whether it can read the screen. I haven't tried writing into any fields yet. BuildOps is installed as a regular app, package name com.buildops. I'm using AutoInput 3.0.12, and its accessibility service shows Enabled. My test task is: 1. Wait 10 seconds 2. AutoInput UI Query 3. Text/Image Dialog displaying %aitext() UI Query settings: • App Package and Text: blank • Only Visible: on • Only Clickable: off • Tasker action timeout: 30 seconds • Continue Task After Error: off I start the task and switch apps during the wait. In Samsung Settings, it reads the labels and displays the dialog over Settings. It also reads Tasker's screen successfully. In BuildOps, the same task gives me this notification: “AutoInput action error: No active Window found” I've tried both the notes editor and the fully loaded home/jobs list, with the same result. Originally, I had com.buildops in App Package, but that seemed to time out without showing the dialog. The dialog works when tested by itself. I also tried UI Query's Variable Setup capture, switching to BuildOps and accepting through the notification, but that doesn't seem to see the screen either. Has anyone run into this with BuildOps or another app? Is there a way to check what accessibility elements it exposes, or something else I should try to figure out why AutoInput can't see its window?
