I have a routine that turns off fast charging and fast wireless charging at night. The routine is set to return these settings to previous state on exit. The routine executes correctly and turns off these settings but at exit does not toggle them back. Other than doing this in Tasker are there any other options?
try to create same routine with other name and test, i have the same issues with wifi routine where it turns off BT, Data, GPS and sometimes its not working, then i need to create another one and these first to delete.

The battery life on my 3D is far worse than my 4G, which had the extended battery (obviously). But until an extended battery is available for the 3D, I will have to deal. In order to make the battery last longer, I'd like to automatically disable background data (or auto sync) when the signal is less than 2 bars for a few minutes. Can any of you help me with this?
I've created a profile that will disable auto sync when signal is "2" or less. But I'd like to enhance it by saying it has to remain less than "2" for 3-5 minutes, so it isn't constantly enabling/disabling auto sync when I go through tunnels, etc.
Thanks in advance!

Power saver feature that is built in does that.
Oops, reading comp fail. I thought you said battery. Sorry.

Yeah, it does it when the battery reaches 15%. I want it to do this at any battery level, but only when the signal is weak.

I've made some progress with this. It's not perfect, but I think it will work.
First, create a task called "weak signal"
Check state, signal level is 0-1
Set variable %WEAKSIGNAL to 1
Wait 3 minutes
If %WEAKSIGNAL = 1
Disable auto sync (I wish this could be background data, but I don't see an option)
Then create a second task called "normal signal"
Check state, signal level is 3-8 (left a gap to prevent flapping)
Set variable %WEAKSIGNAL to 0
wait 15 seconds
If %WEAKSIGNAL = 0
Enable auto sync
I'll test this for a few days and see if it improves things. Coincidentally, I've been in areas with weak signals each day since I got the 3D. As a result, I'm lucky if the battery lasts 8 hours. I know disabling always-on data will fix this, but I don't like that the weather and everything stops syncing. Hopefully this will be a happy medium.

The tasker script seems to be working perfectly! It has definitely improved my battery life in weak signal areas, and I haven't noticed any ill effects.

Only problme I see with this is that it will kick in if you have a weak signal but still are connected to a wifi hotspot.
Could someone explain how to do this ? how to add this task? So i could save the battery when signal is low . Thanks
I am also having pretty horrific battery life, only 6 hours where my 4G use to last 36... So I thought I'd take this idea and make my own little modifications to it.
First I thought I would explain to those not familiar with Tasker. It is an app that allows you to setup your phone to automatically do "tasks" based on contexts. These contexts can be things like whether your connected to wifi, what time of the day it is, how good your signal strength is, anything your phone can "sense." And tasks are basically anything your phone can do, like turn on and off settings or launch applications.
Market Link: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Dev Website: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/
Now for my take on dodgeboy's 'profile'.
Code:
Context 1: Signal Strength, from 0 to 2
Context 2: Wifi Connected, Invert (Not connected to wifi)
Enter Task 1: Wait 1 min
Enter Task 2: Auto-Sync Off
Enter Task 3: Notify,[Title] Low Signal, [Text] Auto Sync Off, Permanent (I wanted a notification that auto sync was off)
Exit Task 1: Wait 15 sec
Exit Task 2: Auto-Sync On
Exit Task 3: Notify Cancel (Clears that Permanent notification)
Here is a link to my exported profile. Just put it on your phone's sd card. Once tasker is open, hit menu, profile data, import one profile.

Let me know what you think. Haven't tested it beyond testing it at my desk by "death gripping" the phone.
ok, so there is some issue with my profile. Occasionally it will not perform the exit tasks, so the notification stays up and the auto-sync remains off. Not sure why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't..? Maybe I'll try a 2 profile setup like the OP using a variable. Will post back if I get around to making a new profile(s), or if I figure out what is wrong with my current profile.

Are you waiting for it to go through the wait period? The way I wrote it, it needs to stay in one state for a period of time before it changes whether or not the auto sync is enabled. If you want it to happen immediately, just write it without the variable and wait sections.
The reason I want it to wait is because when you enable auto sync, it seems to perform at least a partial sync immediately. I don't want this script to make the battery worse, because it is constantly syncing as it comes in an out of signal range.
Thanks for all the comments, very helpful !!! It is noticeable the battery saving
Hi all,
I have an AT&T Samsung Note 3 SM-N900A running Android 4.3 (baseband version N900AUCUBMJ5, kernel v3.4.0-1625098). I rooted it using Kingo, installed Tasker (with Secure Settings plugin), and created 2 profiles: one with a 'Home' location context, and one with a 'Work' location context. In the 'Location Edit' map screen for each, I set a pinned location w/ a radius of 200m. I also de-select 'GPS' (leaving only 'NET'), since I don't want GPS enabled all the time (to extend battery life). I confirm that these work when I'm actively using the phone.. the profile becomes active when I'm at the specified location (as expected). I know it's active because it's displayed in the Notification Panel (and it's also shown in green in the Tasker profiles list).
The issue I'm having is that after ~10 minutes of idle time (i.e. when the display is off and I'm not using the phone), I find that the profile is no longer active when I turn the display back on and start using the phone again. I confirmed that this *doesn't* happen after 1 minute, 2 minutes, nor 5 minutes… only > 10. I also confirmed that it happens for both profiles consistently. However, as soon as I start Tasker again from the Apps Drawer (or from Recent Apps screen), the profile is immediately activated again, and my Enter task is re-run.
I enabled the run log in Tasker prefs, but it basically shows a clean activation of the profile (with no warnings or anything that looks weird to me).
I know there's a 10-minute timeout in the Display Off Monitoring prefs, but that doesn't seem to be related to my issue. I tried reducing the All Checks Seconds from 600 to 90, rebooted the phone, and it still took ~10 minutes before the profile would become inactive after the phone being idle.
Any thoughts as to what the culprit might be? Are there any system logs I can look at that might shed some light here? I'm new to Android, and this seemed like the place to ask..
Thanks.
Ok, not solved..
Alright, bumping this, as the problem is back again after some time.
Has anyone ever seen Tasker exhibit the behavior I described? Again, I start the phone and Tasker profile is active, let the phone go idle for >10 minutes, the profile is no longer active and I need to restart Tasker manually to make it active again.
Still trying to figure out what logs are best to look at..
I'm new to using Tasker but figured out how to make my GPS turn on high accuracy mode and bluetooth on and off when it is plugged in to the car.
All I did was create a new profile > State > power > changed source to AC, then using secure settings plugin had it enable GPS, then changed state to inverted to have it turn off ( I could of used exit state which I just figured out). It works, changes to high accuracy when it's plugged in then battery saving mode when it's not.
Thing is, I'd like a 5 minute delay before it turns off and I can't figure out how to do it. I did find a profile on the Tasker Wiki that turns BlueTooth off with a 5 minute delay that works fine, I figured I could learn from it and do the same with the GPS, but nope.
Can anyone help me figure this out? Thanks for any help
I finally decided that I was missing out by not having Tasker automate my life for me, so bought it as well as the full version of Secure Settings.
I've managed a couple of simple Profiles, but I'm having trouble with other stuff I want to do - most likely because I just don't understand.
A. Aim: When Maps is launched, turn on "WiFi" and "Location Mode High Accuracy"
Profile: Near Work
State: Cell Near (work)
Tasks: (1) WiFi On (2) Secure Settings, Location Mode/High Accuracy
This almost works - opening Maps carries out the expected tasks, and when I exit maps WiFi turns off (desired behaviour). However, Location does not switch off again, it stays on switched on, and I don't understand why.
I'd like Location to switch off again when I exit Maps.
B. Aim: Switch on WiFi and Location Mode/Battery Saving and Location Reporting and Location History once an hour, for one minute, and allow (force?) Google to poll my location for a short period so that if I ever lose my phone and it is switched off, there will be a trail of sorts (without having to leave all these services switched on all the time,which canes my battery).
Profile: Manage Location Services
State: Time - I don't know how I can make the profile active for one minute, every hour
Tasks: (1) WiFi On
Then I get lost - I can't see how to enable Location Reporting which is in Location Services in my phone settings. Also I don't know if doing that would immediately prompt the phone to contact Google and report its location (I assume it would).
C: Aim: Between 10pm-9am, if at home, then silence phone and switch off notification light
State: Cell near (home)
This is as far as I've got. I don't understand how to use time as a defining factor. Nor do I know how to switch off the notification light.
If anyone could help then I'd be very grateful!
Also, after reading a lot of Tasker walkthroughs/userguides (and not understanding a lot of them) I am none the wiser as to how to set up an 'exit task'?
There are a lot of issues regarding Secure Settings, I don't recommend it. The only way to turn on/off gps (and the way I'd do it personally) is use root shell to navigate through the settings or better yet set Status Bar-Open and using a Shell-"input tap x y" Use Root: Yes to tap on the GPS quick setting widget.
To add an exit task simply long press on the action part of your profile (on the main screen) and the options will appear. You can also add additional State, Time or Action matchings to your one profile, by long-pressing on the left part!

Hello,
Have any of you had a problem of auto disconnection with the application? I have already restored the factory settings several times and the problem still occurs maybe one of you had such a problem and could advise me how to deal with it, I don't get any notifications, which starts to irritate me
Regards
what device (model and ROM version) and what phone? Without any info about your setup it's very hard to try to help...
Anyway, the most common causes to connection issues are other app that may conflict with Amazfit app or kill it while in the background (check your phone settings) and Bluetooth/WiFi conflict. To test the later, disable all WiFi, put phone in Airplane mode then turn only Bluetooth on and see if connection gets better.
I have Stratos A1619 with PolishROM my phone is Huawei Mate 10 lite, but on any kind of ROM that problem occurs
Put your phone in Airplane mode and turn on only Bluetooth, make sure Amazfit app is open and running, confirm that watch is connected then move watch away from the phone. How far can you go without disconnecting? If it disconnects after just 30-50cm then most probably it's a hardware issue. But I'd recommend that you go entirely stock to test these things, it's hard to pinpoint anything using modified ROM.
Heey, you have options in that place where you can uninstall app, battery saving mode or optimization - sth like that. I have stratos and note9 and i have the same problem. Watch seems like have connection (top options at top left symbol phone with tick that means - connected to phone). But phone is saying disconnected. What helps - turn in airplane mode in watch, wait few seconds and turn airplane mode off.
But as i was saying - check battery optimization options and turn that function off in phone. If you are from Poland then write to me PM - i try to explain this in out native language
