Tasker is nice, but it'd take a few weeks to set up just one profile and it's confusing as all hell. I just need something to set my phone to vibrate while I'm at work, and turn on 4G, and disable 4G when I get home(all time based, I don't need locale) and turn on wifi and ringer volume all the way up.
So is there a more simple app that can preform the more basic actions of tasker?
I use something called quick profile. I manually change it when I get in and out of the car, but I have 2 profiles. "car" and "out of car" car turns off wifi and turns bluetooth on and makes some adjustments to the brightness and volumes. it's really simple and very quick. the paid version will let you make shortcuts to profiles on your home screen, but...I don't mind the extra click. hope that help.
I've been using "Setting Profiles". Allows for setting changes based on locations, time of day, day of week, actions (like in the car dock or connected to a specific bluetooth device). Was pretty easy to set up.
I've also use "Llama"...functions similarly and also not difficult to setup.
I know this thread is repeated everywhere, but I thought I'd start it up for our GNote forums
What are your Tasker profiles? I just found out how to use Tasker yesterday and I find myself loving it.
Mine are as follows:
1) Incoming Calls - Decrease volume to second lowest setting (I have loud friends)
2) Turn wifi on at home automatically
3) Open PowerAmp when headphones are plugged in
4) Send a "Happy Birthday!" text to various people on their birthdays.
5) Alert me when battery is full to 100%. Really useful if you don't want to overcharge your battery.
What about you guys?
Mute at work locations
Pandora + Bluetooth in car
Wifi at home
100% Battery alert
Auto-off unpaired Bluetooth
Regulated auto-sync based on battery
Long-press search changed to notification drawer open
Screen timeout change for various apps
Data off and screen timeout change for ad-supported games
I posted a couple just recently in this thread...

Here's a C&P for the lazy....
______________________________________________
Car Profile
Enter Task
1) Disable PIN Security so I don't need to unlock my phone while in the car (one less distraction)
2) Set Media Volume to 15
3) Turn Wifi off
4) Change Display timeout to 30 minutes (nice for google maps and viewing the album art of the streaming music)
5) Turn on GPS IF power is connected to phone
6) Start recording video with DailyRoads Voyager ( A car DVR program in case of an accident so you then have Objective evidence)
7) Play the THX sound after a couple seconds to make sure the Bluetooth audio streaming is working right
Car EXIT task
1) Stop Recording Video for DailyRoads Voyager (DRV)
2) Wait 5 seconds
3) Kill App - DRV
4) Perform Task - PIN ON
5) Secure Settings - Disable GPS
6) Display Timeout - 2 min
7) WiFi - Turn ON
8) Bluetooth - Off
9) Display Brightness - Set to 150 out of 255
Other fun stuff
Home VAR %STATUS_HOME
Set VAR for when I am near my home micro-cell as the signal radius is small and specific to my house. I use this since the phone part is always on and I don't need to use GPS to determine location which uses more juice. That VAR is then used to turn on wifi when I arrive at home, disable PIN again, Flash "Welcome home", set WiFi sleep to Never. The Exit task for when I leave home turns PIN ON and sets the WiFi sleep policy to Never While Plugged"
Power VAR %STATUS_POWER
I have 2 seperate profiles for when I am connected to AC or USB power. The AC one sets the power VAR to 2 while the USB one sets it to 1. Both are used for other tasks and profiles, like the car one above requires AC connection so my GPS doesn't drain my battery even while connected. I have it flash "AC connected" or "USB connected" to let me know if the phone is receiving the correct amount of juice. When both of them exit they set the Power VAR to 0 and flash "Power Disconnected"
Sleepy Time
Profile conditions
1) Time - From 00:01 to 06:30
2) State - Home VAR = 1 (so this doesn't happen when I am out and about somewhere at night)
Enter Task - In case I'm tinkering with the phone in bed and don't want to keep the wifey up with a blazing screen and vibrations when clicking buttons. Also prevents annoying sounds at night by disabling data sync and muting all but the Alarm audio.
1) AutoSync -OFF
2) Flash "Good night"
3) Display brightness at 0
4) Screen Filter set to 25%
5) Perform Task - Alarm Audio only
Alarm Audio only task above
1) Alarm Volume - 4
2) Flash "Alarm Audio Only"
3) Haptic Feedback - Off
4) Notification Volume - 0
5) Ringer volume - 0
6) System volume - 0
7) Media volume - 0
Exit Task
1) AutoSync - On
2) Display Brightness - 255
3) Screen Filter - 100%
Quick Stats - This has two parts. One is the Notification that tells me a bunch of info I like to know like Battery level, Screen timeout, screen brightness and CPU govenor. The second part is launching a menu whe nI click on the the notification that has the commonly used Screen brightness & timeouts I use. I need to add some audio options in there too. I re-discovered that menu was there the entire time and didn't see the + button add more items to the menu. Iwas over complicating it by trying to use Scenes as a pop-up menu. Still need to learn more about Scenes.
Part 1 - Quick Stats Notification
State - Orientation Face Up (I use this state so if I want to refresh the stats all I do put the phone face up. There is automatically a time stamp so I can know when the stats were last updated)
Task - Notify Quick Stats
1) Notify - with Battery level, Screen timeout, screen brightness and CPU govenor variables as the text.
Part 2 - Notification Bar Tool
Event - Notification Click
Task - Quick Stats Menu
1) Menu with options for display brightness at 0, 100 or 255. Display timeout options for 30 secs, 2 min, 10 min and 30 min
Remote PIN Disable - This is for in case I forget my pin this will disable the PIN likew used in the Car and Home profiles. It is triggered by receiving a text from certain people with a specific phrase.
Event - Text with specific phrase under Content
Task - PIN OFF
Where Are You - Here's a 3 part setup. If I can't find my phone I again send a text with a specific phrase that then cranks up all volume settings to MAX and repeat "The Most Annoying Sound in the world" by Jim Carrey from Dumb & Dumber. The text sets a VAR called %SHUTUP to 1. When %SHUTUP = 1 it triggers Part 2. Once I find the phone to set the VAR back to 0 I shake the phone.
Part 1 - Where Are You Status
Event - Received Text with specific phrase
Task - Variable Set - %SHUTUP = 1
Part 2 - Where Are You Status
State - Variable Value = 1
Task - Where Are You Audio
1) Perform Task - Crank It Up (sets all volumes to MAX)
2) Flash - "I'm over here!"
3) Music Play - Annoy.wav
4) Wait - 15 sec
5) Goto - Top of Loop IF %SHUTUP = 1
Part 3 -Shutup Shake
Event - Shake
Task
1) Variable Set - %SHUTUP = 0
2) Flash "SHUT UP!!!"
A couple more but they are straight from the Tasker Wiki
I'm definitely going to have to do those. Right now, all I understand is the basics of Tasker (no where near Variables) but I'll follow your instructions.
Thanks especially for "Where are you"
A few I use....
1). Pocket Lock - Detects when phone is upside down in my pocket and activates WidgetLocker.
2). Read Caller Aloud - Incoming caller name said aloud so I can decide whether I want to answer without looking at my phone.
3). Night Mode - From 00:00 to 06:00 Puts phone into silent mode, plus checks whether Wifi, Data, GPS, or Blutooth are on, and turns them off if they are.
4). Battery Low - When battery gets to 15%, and it's not connected to a charger, Says "Battery low, connect charger" and turns off Wifi, BT, Data, GPS.
5). Music Player - When headset is plugged in, loads music app.
6). Home - Gets general location from cell tower, activates Wifi, disables Data & GPS. Exit Task disables Wifi, and enables Data.
7). Work - Gets general location from cell tower, disables Wifi, Data, GPS, BT, and Auto Replies to sms that im working and will reply when i can.
I'm pretty new to tasker, but have been pretty bored lately and have been working on an addition to my Work profile.
This profile will, use variables to save up to 5 peoples numbers and how many times each has txted me, and txt each of them back, using their names from my contact list in the body of each txt.
So lets say BOB txts me once, his number will be added as a variable, and it will begin counting the txts from him. On the first txt he is send a txt saying, something like. "Sorry BOB, im at work, will reply when i can".
Then DAVE txts, he will be assigned to Sender2, and have a txt sent to him like above, with the second Counter and Number (%CNTR2 and %SNDR2).
BOB, realizing it's an auto-reply, decides to be funny and spam txt me, thinking he will get a reply every time. However, tasker counts his incoming txts, (%CNTR1) and when it reaches a value of 10, send just one more txt saying something like (Thats 10 txts you've sent, seems Im still unavailable).
Profile: Auto Reply
Variables:
%SNDR1 <---- BOBs cell number
%SNDR2 <---- DAVEs cell number
%SNDR3
%SNDR4
%SNDR5
%CNTR1 <---- BOBs txt counter
%CNTR2
%CNTR3
%CNTR4
%CNTR5
%TXTVAR <---- Counter determining whether a txt received is from someone new or a number already saved.
Enter Task:
Code:
1). GoTo label Sender1 if %SMSRF ~ %SNDR1
2). GoTo label Sender2 if %SMSRF ~ %SNDR2
3). " " etc.
4).......
5).....
6). If (%SNDR1 ~ 0) then SetVariable %SNDR1 to %SMSRF
7). If (%SNDR2 ~ 0) and (%TXTVAR = 1) then SetVariable %SNDR2 to %SMSRF
8). If (%SNDR3 ~ 0) and (%TXTVAR = 2) then SetVariable %SNDR3 to %SMSRF
9)........etc.
10).
11). If (%SMSRF ~ %SNDR1) <-------- Label Sender1
Variable Add (%CNTR1 + 1)
If (%CNTR1 = 1)
Send SMS (Tells this person eg. BOB I'm at work)
Variable Add (%TXTVAR + 1)
Else If (%CNTR1 = 10)
Send SMS to %SNDR1 (Thats 10 txts you've sent me)
Endif x2
12). If (%SMSRF ~ %SNDR2) <-------- Label Sender2
Variable Add (%CNTR2 + 1)
If (%CNTR2 = 1)
Send SMS (Tells this person eg. DAVE I'm at work)
Variable Add (%TXTVAR + 1)
Else If (%CNTR2 = 10)
Send SMS to %SNDR2 (Thats 10 txts you've sent me)
Endif x2
13). If (%SMSRF ~ %SNDR3) <-------- Label Sender3
Variable Add (%CNTR3 + 1)
If (%CNTR3 = 1)
Send SMS (Tells this person eg. EMILY I'm at work)
Variable Add (%TXTVAR + 1)
Else If (%CNTR3 = 10)
Send SMS to %SNDR3 (Thats 10 txts you've sent me)
Endif x2
14). ......Etc.
15). ......
I'm still working on it, deciding whether to have the variables reset as they are all filled, 1 at a time, or to make them reset every hour or so. Also whether to make another profile purely for resetting those variables, or add them to this task. Bearing in mind that on my phone it gets rather annoying to manage/edit the task since its currently at 78 lines long.
As I said I was bored.
If anyone is interested in this I can post a backup xml of this somewhere.

Bored indeed. Anywho, look into arrays in Tasker, that'll make this tracking stuff much easier. Track all of that stuff in one array vs a bunch of different ones. Might clean up the code a little, make it easier to erm.. relieve more boredom?

While driving in the car, I'd like the display to always stay on without the need to push any buttons.
Is there some toggle button app that can be used to lock display on?
It does not look like driving mode prevents display from turning off and the biggest screen timeout that one can configure is 10 minutes.

You could do this with an app like Llama, just create two actions - one sets screen timeout to max (I think it's like 4,000 something minutes on my phone), the other sets timeout to your normal setting (I use 30 seconds). You could then create Llama shortcuts on your home screen to access those two commands, or launch them from the program directly if home screen space is at a premium.
I do something similar but configure the two settings to automatically apply when I plug (max timeout) or unplug (normal timeout) my phone. If I put my phone in the mount in my car, I end up plugging it in so it does the trick for me automatically.
Let me know if you need more help and I can write up the actual events and settings I use in Llama if you need.

Cool! I did not know that Llama can do so much. At first glance, I thought that it can only control sound.
On Llama website I do not see any description how to write your own Llama scripts. I guess, people learn by exporting/importing profiles generated using GUI?

Any settings I use I've created through the GUI. I only use a portion of what it's capable of, but a few of the events I have set up:
Turn on wifi when it detects I'm at home, work, parents' house, sister's house, etc. Turn off wifi when I leave any of those areas.
The screen timeout settings I noted previously. Also have it turn up brightness when plugged in. I have additional conditions set so that it doesn't max the brightness automatically during certain times, basically so that if I plug it in after dark in the car or in bed it won't blind me.
Automatically set a quiet profile at night and a vibrate profile when I'm at work.
Have it turn on Wifi hotspot when I'm at a particular hotel I travel to for work where there's no free wifi.
To create the automatic brighness event, create a new event where the condition "charging or unplugged" is set to one of the "charging" options and the action "screen timeout" is set to "never", then create a second event where the condition is "on battery" and the action is "set timeout to xx seconds". You can add additional conditions on time, location, etc., the best thing to do is just sift through the various conditions. Most are self-explanatory but they have a little help icon next to each that gives more info as well.

Seems to be working. I guess, this is a good way to deal with my second problem as well: kill annoying poweramp when bluetooth connects to my car. I tried first to do it without delay but it did not work. Perhaps, introducing 10-15 second delay might help.
Saw a similar thread for Note II and thought it would be great to see what's going on here. I'm still trying to figure Tasker out but I know its powers are awesome. I learn by seeing and doing. Hope to see some great examples. Thanks!

Here are my current tasker profiles.
First two turn data on or off if screen on or off.
Next one lowers cpu and governor with screen off.
Next three adjust cpu and governor based on battery level
Last one jacks up everything while plugged in to a power source.

Hello,everybody.I'm new here.And there are always something wrong with my Samsung mobile.I hope we will have a good time here.:laugh:
My profiles are all time based. almost all based around my workday.
Ex. After 10pm until 8am, I have all sounds and alerts off except for ringer.
During day, I use WIFI and BT, normal sounds
On weekends I only use WIFI, but no BT no GPS and different ringtones.
When on power (AC) I have all on WIFI, BT, GPS and a brighter screen.
and I have a group of tasker profiles for my Pebble smartwatch.
I have an On Call profile that has special alerting triggered that takes priority over other things based on calendar info.
Tasker is what you make it. It's well worth learning to use as you can automate most things.

Hey! The forum and all the help is amazing.
I am glad you started this thread. Tasker is not entirely simple to use when setting up complicated functions and my noobness only bought it yesterday so I could use the help along with a few others I am sure.
Thanks for prior info & in advance.

Looking to make a TASKER profile
alright since this is kinda a thread that might answer this question, I need some info, so I'll ask if somebody can help me with setting up the following.
I need a profile setup for Tasker that sets my wallpaper based on whether I'm at work or not based off of whether or not there's a WORK event on my calendar and what time that event happens. (I work at a Sprint store and I need to make sure that my wallpaper is more "customer friendly" during my shifts and can go back to what I want it to be when not.)
If anybody can give me some pointers as to how to do this, I'd be your friend for life. Or at least until you can't answer a question, whichever comes first.
Since someone asked me to share my flick phone to take a picture (like moto x) profile you have to adjust sensitivity to your preference

I have a few pretty simple tasks setup:
Profiles:

entry task: Night Mode ( SMS Backup, Silent Mode, Lampshade sunset,Auto Brightness Off, Display Level 0)

exit task: Night Mode end ( auto brightness and silent mode set to off)
Morning Sunrise

entry Task: Sun Rise (lampshade sunrise)
description: when a phone alarm goes off first thing in the morning whilst at home perform a "sunrise" effect with the Philips Hue lightbulbs in the bedroom.
Silent In Lectures
Triggers: calendar entry at my university address.
Entry Task: Silent Mode On
Exit Task: Silent Mode off
planning on adding a few more useful things, but the ones that I have seem quite nice.
I have a ton of tasker tasks setup mostly having to do with the lights in my house (all with voice commands, ex: turn on christmas lights, turn off kitchen light, etc), but some others are to directly call contacts without waiting for google to confirm who the contact is and so on and so forth, start playing any random netflix video i'd like to watch with voice command, start the sonos sound system in my house with voice command, make my phone ring when i lose it by sending a text containing a certain string of text from any other device/phone, turning my hotspot on automatically when connected to the bluetooth in my car, when disconnecting the bluetooth it auto shuts off the hotspot, switching my notifications on my smartwatch on when a certain string of text is sent to the phone.
On my tablet that i have as my entertainment system in my car i have tasker as well and as soon as it connects to the hotspot from my phone it automatically starts recording my drive with video, than opens google music and starts playing my music, than opens waze. When the wifi connection to my phones hotspot is gone it turns everything off on the tablet and just sends it back to the homescreen.
One task im still trying to get going is the ability to turn on and off the television which i've seen before just cannot seem to find the module i need to do it, since i dont want to use the same i'd use for lamps afraid it will burn out the tv and not work properly.
I just started playing around with tasker yesterday. Coming from Llama, I found that it takes longer to learn tasker but the rewards were so much greater. Here are two profiles that might be useful for others too.
The first one is to reject a call from my gf and create a button on the screen so I can call her back on my unlimited plan.
I included a vibration pattern there so I can get some sort of alert going on after the incoming call is rejected. You can of course add a ringtone there as well.
use a phone ring event to trigger following task:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tbgjtewdebdnitn/Ring_Back_DM.tsk.xml
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vkxxbpjqoc07uiv/Call_Dm.scn.xml
The first file is the task, the second one is the scene that creates the button to call back. You will need to edit that 2nd file to add your own number to call, just look for ###replace### in that file.
To dismiss the button without calling back, just tap and hold it.
Another task I made after I saw somebody mentioned about displaying current address in Dashclock. This one involves google map geocode api and a little javascript.
To conserve battery, this only shows you a rough address. If you need accuracy, you can add a action at the start to turn on GPS for say 30-60 seconds.
Also If you want to use the address somewhere else instead of showing up in Dashclock, just replace the last action with your own. BTW, you need to install Dashclock tasker extension before running this task(if you're keeping the last action).
Use a cell ID variable set event to trigger this task:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/15fsvwhecb83utz/Current_Address.tsk.xml
Fairly simple setup (newbie user of tasker ), which worked up until and inclusive of 4.1.x on S3, consisting in a sound alert and an icon to STOP the alert (acknowledge), upon receipt of a specific SMS (string inside the SMS), which icon was showing ON TOP of the screen lock (via the "show over keyguard" set to ON).
Since the upgrade to 4.3 the alert partially works as before (SMS comes in, music starts), with one (MAJOR) exception: the icon meant to allow me to stop the alert music now requires unlocking the phone, first, prior to being able to see/access it. Any ideas?
[Useless info, meant to only support my plea for assistance ] If you picture these alerts coming to me at the oddest hours of the night (critical alerts from work), you could imagine how pleasant it is to try and unlock a phone in total darkness, barely awake, to stop the annoyance of the sound waking up the entire house inhabitants, before being able to stop it.
