How to Simply Turn Off Wifi while Screen is Off ? - Tasker Tips & Tricks

I bought tasker, added a task:
Disable wifi If %SCREEN=0
It does nothing, so what is the logic behind that tasker ?
Can someone give me the solution ?
To start i just want my wifi to turn off when i lock my screen.

You have to add profile that trigger a task. In your case you have to make a profile like
State - > Display - > Display state set it to off
Task - > Net - > WiFi set it to off.
A task can only work if it will be triggered and for that you need a profile.
BTW the app is called Tasker

HAAAAAAA, thanks a lot, wasn't obvious to me that a profile is mandatory to run a task.
edit: not working....
if i go to the task list and press PLAY, it turns off wifi. so the task is properly done.
if i turn screen off, the task is not triggered.

Np enjoy Tasker.

Mh ok. I did out of my mind. I can't test it right now. When I get back home tonight I'll test it.
When I got it working I'll get back to you.

You have to exit Tasker for save the profile. Or touch the save button in upper right.
Never forget that otherwise the profile isn't saved.
Enjoy Tasker

Stamina mode fix

Take a look here: http://www.appsandroid.dk/joomla/stamina-mode-sony-xperia-z.html
" The solution:
You go into the settings via your status bar (rightmost icon) or press back if you are in power. Now you can find the item called apps and press it.
Now swiper to the right until you are at the top of the All apps.
Scroll down until you find a program called Eco mode Controller and press it.
Now tap Force stop and then Clear data (see more after the image).
Now restart your Sony Xperia Z by holding the on / off and volume up inside at the same time, or by holding the on / off inside until a pop when you press the switch.

It's called 'Eco mode controller'.
thx for info...it works
Works... Thanks m8..
I don't think this is a fix per se . it just resets the user data gathered by the program.
btw , mine goes by the name Extended Standby Controller mode if you can't find the names above in the list !

High Brightness Mode switcher[ROOT]

Hi,
I have created a small Tasker application for switch on/off High Brightness Mode for Nexus 6.
You can install it as standalone application without Tasker. But it needs Root privileges.
It should work with all kernels as this feature is comes with STOCK kernel.
Thanks,

sweet! Thanks for this, ive always wanted to use tasker to program one of my volume buttons(double press) to enable max brightness before I turn the screen on. I always get aggravated when I go outside and have to find the brightness slider with lowbrightness. I only use about 20% brightness inside. Never did accomplish this, I believe it will be much easier now with your program! Thanks!:good:
Working on last chroma!
Genius thank you!

Dude, this app rocks, thanks! I set it as one of my lockscreen shortcuts, perfect when opening the phone outdoors.
can you please add a widget?

Awesome app
what's this high brightness mode?
Turns HBM on, but doesn't turn it back off when tap it again. Nexus 6 Pure Nexus current and Moto G Second Gen (stock Debloated) both exhibit this behaviour.
When screen turns off and back on, HBM is off again so I still find value in this app the way it is, thanks.
Very nice. Works great.

It looks like you don't have permissions on hbm sysfs interface.
Can you please share output of
ls -l /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fb0/hbm

I am using "chmod" command to gain write access to the hbm file. So can you please install busybox then try again?
Thanks.

Did you try Quick Click application from play store? I didn't tried but looks useful for you case.
I love this app, use it as a shortcut on my lockscreen for outdoors reading. Could you make another that lowers the brightness, for night time? I know I could just use the slider but I would rather have a matching shortcut on my lockscreen. Thanks!
This works great! I set a shortcut on the lockscreen and also set a double tap gesture on Nova Launcher to turn it on or off.
Thank you Sir for sharing this lovely app.
Excellent and very useful app.
Worked fine with MM even on Nexus 6P.
With Nougat you can activate fine but needs to switch off screen to deactivate and even then, notification stays on, on status bar.
Any upgrades please?
thank you

New to Tasker: toggle Mobile Data + GPS on non-rooted device

Hi,
New to Tasker and am absolutely amazed by it's capabilities!
Got a new Galaxy S7, which I am unable to root at this point in time.
I really need a way to toggle Mobile Data and GPS on/off.
Did quite a bit of reading and searching and only found info for rooted devices. Even tried Secure Settings, which of course needs root to toggle them.
Is there ANY way I can toggle mobile data on/off without root???
GPS will be nice as well but less critical.
Will appreciate any help.
Y.
It can be done by using AutoInput but it would require the screen to be on.
I would also appreciate some help on this too, especially the autoinput method. I got parts of it to work, like opening location settings and clicking location on if off. But I'm having trouble creating the task if location is already on. Also, the exit task is giving me fits too because every time the task runs when I open maps, it exits the app to location settings to click the on location, thus activating the exit task before I even get to use the maps haha. It basically goes on a loop for me and can't figure it out. Any help on how to configure this would be appreciated.

Is there a way to turn the screen on with Tasker?
If so, perhaps I can use the combination of Tasker and AutoInput to achieve toggling mobile data on off?
(I found Turn On under Display in Tasker but it has a cross on it so I don't think I can select it. Is there another plugin that will turn the screen on?... that is without root)

Only works if screen lock security is set to none or swipe.
I have fingerprint unlock setup.
Back to square one.
svampsson... That XML file is only for screen Brightness. I did try tinkering with it to have it work for location Toggle instead but it still gave me trouble. The global action on it would not go back to the app after toggling location on. Any ideas? Thanks for the help tho.
Hi,
I just installed tasker app on my Galaxy S7 Edge.
I tried to create a task to switch on GPS when running Pokemon App and then switch off once app is closed.
Task:
1. Launch App
App Pokemon Go Data %LOC
I run the task, as expected, it opens pokemon go app and 4G(gps) icon appears on the upper-left corner of my phone. But the icon won't disappear when I manually turn off the Location on Quick Settings.
Please help how to restore Location icon on-off.
Thank you

Do you have root? It is very easy to turn high accuracy GPS ON/OFF with Secure settings-plugin. If no root you can do it with Autoinput.

Show tasker scene in recent apps list

Hello all,
i made a Geocaching scene with tasker and would like to switch between that scene and another APP... But when i press the home button, the scene disappears. Other apps still remain in the recent apps list. Is there a way to have the scene in that list so i can switch it with another APP.
Thanks!
A scene isn't an app so it can't be shown in the Recent apps list. It's just overlay.
Your best option is probably to either create a shortcut to the task and place it on your home screen, use AutoNotification to create a notification that shows the scene when clicked on, or to use the Autobubbles alpha app to use a bubble as a shortcut.

OK, thank you for your help. Downloading AutoNotification right now...

You need to setup a profile that reacts to when you click on the notification.
Here's a tutorial made by the developer that explains it further :-}

Remove VPN Key in Notification Area

I'm testing out Ad Guard at the moment, which seems to be working well.
However, because I chose to use a VPN (it was recommended) then I now have a key sign in the notification area.
I'm sure it asked me if I wanted to turn it off at the time but I said no thinking I could turn it off later. Now I can't find any setting at all!
Is there a way I can turn it off without having to give system ui Turner app permissions through ADB?

You can disable notification using your phone settings not the app settings.
