Anyone know what the hell is wrong with my Tasker? After every action it immediately undoes what it was set up to do. For example if it's supposed to turn on data, it will for like 5 seconds then immediately turn it off. Same with GPS, WiFi, Location Access, etc. This is for all profiles. I've tried disabling and enabling every profile thinking maybe one is the cause of it with no luck. I also removed exit tasks for particular ones and didn't find anything. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Tasker with no luck. I've attached the profile backups to this post if anyone wants to take a look.
Note: I am using Tasker along with the Secure Settings plugin (only GPS and location toggles are enabled). I'm also on 4.3 using Tasker 4.1u3.

It was working before. All of the sudden this started happening. It also starts running the profiles, just immediately turns off whatever was turned on.

Have U try Other Version Of Tasker?

Hello. I need a free app for automatically turn on/off airplane mode without turning off WIFI or Bluetooth. So, only the cell signal.
There are a lot of apps which can do it but all them turn off wifi too
Before, Tasker had this option, but in Gingerbread google has disabled it, so it cant do it
I have tried this: https://market.android.com/details?id=be1ay.flymode&feature=search_result
But dont work. So, any idea?
Thanks so much!
I do believe it's not possible to do it anymore, unless big changes in the kernel or the OS are made.

When you said there are a lot of apps can do it, can you list some out? Thanks.
aavan it should be possible because you can see this app: SwitchPro. This app do it through a widget so is not automatically, but works perfectly. So it is possible

Nothing exists right now. Although there are 3rd party apps that turn airplane mode on and off with a touch...the roots of actual airplane mode run much much deeper than that. It would take ALOT of work to create an app for that.

So problem fixed
I've tried several Jellybean builds (CheckROM, Wanamlite, Omega) and have the same problem with all of them. Whenever I turn off 3G data it re-enables itself within a few minutes. Has anyone else had this problem with JB?
Most likely it is a problem with some of the installed by you soft wghich tires to connect to network.

What's the best of identifying which app might be causing it??
If your phone is rooted, it is simple: install DroidWall from market
I'm running Omega v31 since Indie released it. No problem so far.. Same when I was on CheckROM before.
Did you do a full wipe before installing the ROMs?

Click to expand...

Yes I did a wipe/delete cache/delete Dalvik cache before installing each ROM.
I installed Droidwall and denied 3G access to ALL apps, but still something is switching on my data service within an hour of me disabling it.
???
I never met the app which turned firewall of by itself....
Last resort: install Titanium Backup, and by freezing one by one check which one causes this.
Must it be an app that's trying to access 3G, or is the o/s enabling 3G for some reason??
If you have set software check, it may, but I doubt it.
From system apps - I'd look into news daemon, stock daemon, account sync, weather update and similar.
Surely the question isn't which app is attempting to use 3G, but why it is able to turn 3G on when I've explicitly disabled it? If I turn 3G off should it prevent any app from using it??
Usually no, BUT:
- some apps can have root access;
- some apps can have "strange" permissions, especially if taken from... not 100% trustworthy source.
One more what can help to diagnose: Permissions Denied from Play, can verify app-by-app which one will have permission to access network.
Personally, what I'd do:
- install Titanium Backup;
- backup all apps;
- freeze system apps (Stock Daemon, news daemon, FB, YT, SamsungUNA, push etc)
- look if the situation persists, if not - I'd try to unfreeze sys apps one by one, and then restore my apps.
I'm using Onavo Count to monitor for data usage and it's showing that only "Google Services" and "Google Account Manager" have used any data since the last reboot. Since both of those are pretty central to the Android experience I'm now stumped. I can't disable them, but why/how are they overriding my settings and starting up 3G when I've explicitly chosen to disable it??
Hmmm... by the accident - do you have auto sync left in the settings?

Sync is switched on for Gmail only, but even this shouldn't be able to enable 3G when I've turned off 3G???
Same problem...
I have the same problem, since I updated to jellybean - the mobile data just switches itself back on even though I have manually disabled it.
I have the stock software, sorry, haven't had the guts to flash it yet :angel:
Anybody find an answer?

Have you checked in Settings>Data Usage>Mobile Data was unchecked after switch off the mobile data from notification? It could be either that or auto sync that force mobile data to switch on. Try to turn off mobile data and turn on auto sync, then see in an hour if there's any effect.
Because if stock (non-rooted) also have same problem, it should be something in the settings..
Anyway, mine doesn't have any problem like this..
try this
u may try this ....like press *#*#4636#*#* and the goto phone information the select the type of network u want..
btw this works for many of the devices....on any version of android
Hey All,
I'm S-On and on the latest stock firmware, and some rendition of the latest OTA (I got there from the Global Leak OTA and fastboot flashing the zipfile, OTA-Global-Stock-4.05.605.14 710RD-Rooted, I found in one of the development forums here on xda-developers).
My question relates to this scenario: I arrive home, turn on my wifi and check that I've set the wifi advanced setting to leave wifi enabled "Only when plugged in". Then, I connect to my access point. When I immediately relook at the wifi advanced settings, I see that it's been switched to "Always," without my requesting that that happen. I don't know that I recall this ever happening before, and now it's completely repeatable.
I'd like to have my setting stay on leave on only if connected. Can anyone offer up a way to overcome it getting changed to always?
Thanks!
cheers,
john

My guess is you have an app that has permission to activate WiFi, or something is corrupt... Try Permission Explorer and look for apps that have WiFi control (I don't remember how the actual permission is worded), if you can't find anything then I think a factory default is in order and try it before restoring any apps.

Hey Ace,
Thanks for pointing Permission Explorer out to me. I'll give it a try and let you know what I learn. As you might expect, I'd pretty much like to avoid going the route of the factory default reset...

Do it a few times and a factory reset is easy... I switch ROMs in my Rezzy so much I don't even hesitate anymore. It is a basic troubleshooting tool and done correctly you won't lose anything.

Hi fokls,
I recently updated to 5.1 ( Lollipop). I am on Tmobile and for some reasons, the mobile data setting kept getting disabled frequently.
Anyone knows what to do to fix the issue. I have tried pure stock as well as with root. None of them seems to fix the issue.

Why don't you enable airplane mode and then disable instead of rebooting. It might work.

I tried that, it didn't work. I'm waiting on it to happen again to see if I can just re-enable mobile data.
Even if I can, this is still a very annoying problem. You'll miss a lot of emails, and messages. Yet another reason you might not want Lollipop

Its strange though. But if you go to the setting, then mobile data, you will see that it is turned off. Turning it back on, will re-enable it. I dont know why it does it though. No need for air plane toggle.
Is there any possibility this problem could be tied to a default power-saving setting that is turning mobile data off to conserve battery?
Just a thought.

I did two things, but I haven't had this happen since I did them.
1. Renamed HwPowerGenieEngine3.apk and HwPowerGenieEngine3.odex to disable them. (just add .bak to the end) They are located in "root/system/app/HwPowerGenieEngine3/" and "/<SAME/ARM/"
2. Enabled the option in Mobile Network settings to "Always-on mobile data"
Like I said, I don't know for sure if either really fixed it, but I haven't been having this problem for the past 2 days.
#1 . do I need root to rename the files?

yes, that requires root
I have no answer for you but, I am on T-Mobile and that's not happening to me. My WiFi becomes disabled sometimes/rarely. Also USB debugging gets disabled as soon as I back out of the settings for it. This is on B309.
My friend and I both using HAM2 on Wind, still on 4.3. Phone signal (not only Data) frequently turned itself off, then turned back on after a minute or longer.
Could it be the AWS (1700) frequency not reacting well to Huawei power genie?
I tried using "Normal" instead of "Smart" power saving scheme but no joy. Just froze "Power Genie" app via Titanium Backup. I think it turns the power saving feature off completely. Will monitor to see if it helps. I'll trade network stability for shorter battery life.
Apparently this problem is getting worse with Lollipop update.
Hello fellow Note8 and Tasker users. I'm huge fan of both and usually have lots of questions on how to accomplish things in Tasker. Some of those things are device specific, so I thought a thread here may be handy.
Let me start with this: does anyone know how to use Tasker to activate PowerSave mode? I'm a teacher and I'd love to have this active when I'm teaching (then turn that off during my lunch break/plan period). Is there a certain intent I'd have to send? Or is it simpler?
Also, without root, I cannot turn on/off mobile data or adjust GPS settings...
Any workaround that you guys know of?

That's actually really cool and I didn't know it could do that. The beauty of Tasker however is that it's automated. I don't even have to think about it. I step into work and my phone is on Powersave mode with no mobile data connection or Wi-Fi (while I teach). I get in my car and my GPS is in high accuracy mode. I go in the library and my phone is on silent. I go to a house I'm tutoring in and my calculator app is already pulled up. It's a thing of beauty!
Okay so it turns out the method linked earlier is already "prepackaged" so to speak: it's included in Auto Tools! I already had that app and didn't even know it could do this. So you still need to use ADB to grant it the proper permissions but it will save you the effort of getting the app factory and importing the xml file and exporting the app.
I'm excited to see if I can toggle mobile data this way! It seems to be hit or miss for different devices. Anyone tried on their Note 8?

I have been reading over this for a while. I was wondering if this would allow for toggling on and off wifi hotspot? I've been trying, but I read something regarding Nougat and how the name/service or something was changed.
I have no problem toggling it off and on using the quick tiles, but I have an Android car unit that I use my Hotspot for.
This worked on my older phones, being able to stick an NFC tag to my phone mount in the car to toggle the Hotspot on when placed in it. Or having the Hotspot start/stop when connecting or disconnecting from the unit's Bluetooth.
Thank you for any help in advance.
@wigglitz I'm not sure how to toggle Hotspot, at least didn't find anything related on System-, Global or Secure Settings.
If you are using Toggle Setting method linked before, here is how you can find what you can change:
These commands will show you list of available settings with current values
Code:
adb shell settings list secure
adb shell settings list global
adb shell settings list system
Now, if you are unsure if some setting is what you think it to be, I'll give you an example how to check it.
Let say by using command adb shell settings list secure you find setting install_non_market_apps
Now if you are unsure if that is the one toggling Unknows sources on/off, do this:
Toggle Unknows sources off from settings, then type:
Code:
adb shell settings get secure install_non_market_apps
This will return 0 (because you set if off)
Toggle it back on from settings and run same command, now it will return 1
Now you can be pretty sure that's the one and will be able to make task to automatically allow installing apps from unknown sources when opening Substratum (for example)

Look into Auto Tools (Tasker plugin). That's what I'm using instead. There's definitely an option to toggle hotspot. There's literally hundreds of settings to tinker with, but my understanding is that the success of the individual options depends on the phone model.
I'm testing to see if I can toggle mobile data on the Note 8 and if time, I can test wifi hotspot too. :good:
GOOD NEWS!!!
Mobile data CAN be enabled/disabled without root on the Snapdragon model!!
Use the app Auto Tools with Tasker, give the appropriate permissions with ADB, and it works beautifully!! I'm so happy. ???
GPS works too - I can change it from battery saver to high accuracy and back at will.
I used to disable Mobile data, but now I leave it ON all the time. When you connect to wifi it's not in use so why to even bother turning it off? When I'am not on Wifi it's on. What I'am thinking of doing to save more battery is switch to 2G when connected to wifi, my 3GB/4GB signal strength is not so good. Should save a lot of battery when at home.

I am a teacher. The wifi signal in my building isn't great plus I don't need it anyway when I teach. I turn off pretty much everything during the times I teach. I have Tasker turn Wi-Fi back on for my lunch/plan period and turn off powersave mode. I used to lose 30%+ a day at work while not even touching my phone (awful signal primarily). I'm hoping this helps me keep it to 10% or less lost. I'll report back!

Turning wifi is a must if you leave it on it will always scan for new wifi and drain battery. I use signal towers to turn it on when at home and off when not, works rly good and no battery drain.
