Tasker not working on s3? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all. Today I installed Tasker on my s3..I was trying to get "turn wifi on at home" working.. I followed tutorials correctly but it did not worked.
So I tried an easy on like - open music player when headphones inserted.. That did not happen too.. What am I supposed to do?

I use tasker, it is great. It has worked perfectly for me on ICS, CM10 and the Samsung JB leaks.
It sounds like you are missing something obvious, I take it you have ticked the "ON" box on the bottom right of the main screen to activate it ?

It stopped working for me on the LI3 leak but after that's its been working perfectly, before and after LI3.

I have neither flashed nor rooted.. And yes I have activated it..
I have also made some profiles and tasks. But they just don't execute when the situation occurs

Working perfectly here

Reinstalling would help?

Don't think..
Can you share the screenshot?

I inserted headphones and no reaction

Can you just select the task and Press the PLAY button?
Does that open up the Music app.
I'm not sure, but maybe the Music app does get loaded in ram but isn't shown in the foreground.
Btw, you can easily do this with PowerAmp. No need for tasker

Yes tried play button too.. Doesn't work...
Btw I don't need the app for this.. I need to turn wifi auto on near home and stuff..
Also I did not bought the app.. I got the apk.. Does this has do do something with it?

If you download the apk from there website it has a 7 day trial. Uninstall then try the website apk and then you'll find out.
I had no problems with tasker when I got my S3 but I've moved to CM10 preview now.

Okay. Leme try

Get an account in Axis bank or buy any credit cards.
Btw Axis bank debit cards(Master) work everywhere.

I have been using Llama for Wifi Auto on when @ home & work, works flawlessly.
It's a free app, try it.

Some Apps not Full Screen

For some reason quite a few apps seem to be only taking up half the screen. Sprint Locator for example only on half top of screen. Antone else getting this problem?
Yep, I think the resolution isn't supported
Download spareparts from the market and open then uncheck compatibility mode and restart. Then try your apps again.

Its merely a resolution issue....no worries

I can name two more apps with this problem, ibird pro and newsroom. There are more and more phones with the higher resolution so I figure it will get fixed eventually.

Max Payne is finally out! The only problem is that the touch controls do not come up on my note. So I basically can't play the game. Anyone else having this problem?

If you have the "show touch control problem" and have a little spare phone you can play with max payne attached to your hdtv via hdmi in this mode:

So what's the problem? I have the exact same issue and its quite depressing...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Sad that this is one of only a few phones this game is supposed to work with and it doesn't. I have the same problem. Tried changing resolution, hiding and unhiding joysticks but nothing works. Kinda lame. And of course it takes over 15 minutes to download the extra required files before you can play, so no refund.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Jeez. So sad that there's an issue. I haven't tried it yet, but it's waiting for me. I think I'll try it with my PS3 controller when i get home.

Works fine on mine, running stock rom with some mods. All my controls show on the screen. The only time the movement controls show is when i touch the screen and use it to move but it is SUPPOSED to be like that because you can initiate the controls anywhere on the left and right of the screen.
Same issue. It says not supported in market so i got the APk downloaded it all no screen controls and six axis doesn't work with it only the spas is working no buttons or anything

I tried freezing all emulators and sixasis after clearing their caches and no luck.
Then I tried connecting with the PS3 controller after verifying it worked with GTA3 and still no luck. Can only strafe with the dpad.

Mysterious sound when unlock screen

Hi everyone..
When i unlock my s3, it plays "be-beep!!" sound. Water effect sound plays too. But at the same time "be-beep!!"
If i silence the phone, no sound.. there is not any notif. or fault or error on the screen.. it plays only once when i unlock screen.
Whats that sound??
Ps: it was playing when my s3 unrooted and stock official rom. I rooted it and flash omega v13, its playing now too...

Lol in the relevant system/media folder and see if you have any additional files for unlock screen, another Rom might have dumped a new sound file and it needs removing?

I'm experiencing the same issue. It is intermittent, but generally if restart my phone it goes away for a while. I am unsure as to what triggers the sound to start again. The only way I can stop it is to turn off notification sounds altogether (or turn the volume down to mute), but this is not practical. I have tried to find the audio file to delete it, but no luck. Happy to record the sound if somebody tells me how!

Take your accessory case off and i bet the noise goes away...
it is NFC ... near field communication... the phone is picking up your case and thinks its another device, it can be turned off in settings
took me ages to figure it out too
Addy
Cheers! I'll give disabling NFC a go (since I never use it but do need a protective case on account of having a habit of dropping my previous phone). I'll let you know how I go!

yeah tried that and still couldn't get it to work, I also found out that none of my music players could play music from the SD Card, tried switching from CWM to TWRP as some suggested formatted and cleared everything and reflashed and both problems were still there, so i've gone back to my old rom for now till those are sorted.

Disabling soft buttons

Two options that work good in my opinion.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zoodles.kidmode
Kid lets you block access to apps selectively. So no web browser or play store from angry birds etc.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.kidslock
And if you are using mx player for movies, then lock them into the app with this plug in.
Good luck, kids are much smarter than they appear with these devices!
