Has anyone got any experience with automating sound settings with Tasker on the Huawei P10?
I have a task that should turn off the WiFi & turn up the BT volume when connected to my car's WiFi. My WiFi gets turned off as expected when I connect, but the volume stays at 0.
This task worked flawlessly with my Sony Xperia I upgraded from.
I have experience with tasker service getting killed every few days on my p10. I have no idea why.

Some actually! I've used Tasker for several years on the P10, P9, HTC M9, M8 M7 etc etc and have similar profiles running to turn off WiFi, read out SMS's etc when I connect to my car.
Firstly is Phone Audio & Media Audio both turned on in the settings of the paired device (car) in Bluetooth settings?
What volume are you trying to change, phone call, media or both? (In Tasker... BT Voice Volume or Media Volume?)
I've just tested my P10 in Tasker, while connected to my car, and both BT Voice and Media change volume up and down with no issues.

On the Phone: Settings, Apps, Settings, Special Access, Ignore Optimisations, All Apps at top, Allow Tasker
In Tasker: Preferences, Monitor tab, Run in Foreground (Probably ticked already)

Thanks, but everything is already set.

OK, how about this bit then (shouldn't make any difference if you've allowed Tasker to ignore optimisations, but you never know!)...
Settings, Apps, Tasker, Battery, Power Intensive prompt & Close after screen locked both off
While I've not specifically noticed Tasker being killed, I've noticed the P10 (& my P9 before it) would sometimes randomly close things anyway, nevermind what ignore options were ticked! But they did usually restart of their own accord soon after. May just be a "glitch" with EMUI/Huawei phones!

Yep, both are already off. And it's the same for dropbox. Photos just won't upload anymore after few days.
Looks like huawei really is overly enthusiastic in closing background apps

My task is set to turn the media volume to max (15) then adjust the BT volume to max (again, 15) before turning the phones WiFi off. I've also tried to use the app Volume Profile, which has a Tasker plugin. I don't know if I need to set a delay? My old phone worked without one, but I remember I had timing issues in the past with other phones.

I had similar problems, they seemed to go away over time. I remember reading in reviews that Huawei uses machine learning to optimise app response and battery, so I don't know if that's influenced things improving over time. I remember my phone mysteriously revoking notification access I granted apps.

Don't think you need a delay, mine certainly doesn't, just done a test again changing both at the same time without a delay...no problems
This is the task I just tested....
Tester (50)
A1: BT Voice Volume [ Level:8 Display: On Sound: Off ]
A2: Media Volume [ Level:8 Display: On Sound: Off ]
Try it on yours. The "Display" bit just shows it's worked. You don't actually need it, but it's a good "bug check" as would be the Sound option, to make sure the task is actually working. The 50 is just the number of my task.

Yes you may be right, certainly Huawei does seem to mess about with permissions etc that other android phones don't!

so currently i use the app "Do Not Disturb" which sets a timer (I have it from 10pm-5am) so that my phone gets switched to silent while I sleep and I won't get woken by my friends drunkenly calling me all night long... what I'm wondering, is if there is any app like Do Not Disturb, except with some kind of white list, so I can set it so if my Mom calls (might be an emergency) it will still ring. any ideas? i've looked but haven't been able to find something like that.

Maybe setup a rule in Locale to ring at maximum when a certain contact calls?

Haven't seen anything like that, but seems like a perfectly reasonable feature.
Maybe the dev would be receptive to adding such a feature if you contact them?
second this request.
even the cheap nokias and sony ericssons have it. been missing it since I started using wm/android. found some sw that did it on wm, but they all sucked
with the google contacts groups, this shouldn't be to difficult, should it? I would like to have it implemented in an app like 'profiles'
Foxyring. Amazing app. Everything you want and more.
It's main purpose is to every so often(user adjustable) turn on the mic and listen to the ambient noise wherever you are(even if the phone is in your pocket) and raise or lower the volume of your ringtones. I have noticed no effect on my battery at all.
Second it comes with a widget to silence your phone for a period of time. Like you use for the movies.
It has an option for sleeping hours. Always be silent between blah and blah.
And then it has exactly what you are looking for. An emergency contacts list that will ring regardless of the ringtone status.
Also has a location aware setting like locale for other ringtone options. i.e. change your ringtone from "BOOTY EVERYWHERE" to Bethovens 5th when you are at your moms automatically.
App placed in top three for ADC2. It deserved it. I have not adjusted my rigtone volume in the past 3 weeks and it has been perfect everytime.
Does anyone know of an app that currently works on Honeycomb that will set the device and notifications to 0 at a certain time and change it back to 100 at another time? I tried timeriffic and it'll update the volumes if the tablet is active but it looks like if the time comes by and the tablet is in sleep mode then the volumes do not change.
Just looking for a convenient way to manage notification volumes at night just in case I forget to set my volume to 0 and emails don't wake me up!
Thanks in advanced to anyone that can help.

Tasker works for the xoom would allow you to do this but its much more powerful than what you're looking for. Its also somewhat more complicated to configure and set up, but it would allow your device to react and change settings based on all sorts of inputs (location, time, charging, headphones plugged in, etc).
I know, I know, this is probably the most elementary thing I could ask for, but it's been years and I don't remember any which way how to navigate Tasker.
Simple task is, when connecting to a certain BT receiver, turn media video down to half, when disconnecting, default back up to max.
I think once this is under my belt, I'll be able to work out the rest, but would appreciate any help!
State- net- by connected
Task. (Create new with volume levels
Back out to save task
Press and hold task and add new exit task with the full volume levels
Think that will work I'm kinda new too though

I'm on Nougat 7.1.1 now.
I used to have tasks for turning down volume at home and at the office, and also turn the ringer off in the night so it only vibrates. A couple months ago I started noticing some weird behaviour where the phone went to vibration mode when I left the house which I didn't intend for it to do and which it hadn't done before. But it wasn't too bad, so I carried on. Recently though, I started walking to and from my office and listening to stuff using my bluetooth earphones. I noticed that, after a while, presumably when switching off the 'home' or 'office' profiles, my earphones gave me a loud beep and then the volume would be turned up all the way. Not great for my ears. So I started to think something's wrong with my tasks. I ended up turning off all volume settings in every task, but the behaviour wouldn't change. I figured I might've broken Tasker because I used to restore Tasker data from Titanium backup on every Android version upgrade. I've always been on Cyanogenmod and now on LOS. So I used Tasker's in-built backup mechanism and reinstalled it, restored the backup, but the problem still persists. Now, I'm at a loss.... Do you guys have any idea what might be wrong?
Are you sure this is caused by Tasker?
Edit: I did the test. Thes issue doesn't occur with Tasker disabled.
I'm not 100% sure, but the timing of the behaviour matches up with the usual profile switching timing. I don't know what else I might've set up that changes the volume. I'm going to disable Tasker and make sure it's still happening.
I tested if the issue occurs with Tasker disabled. It doesn't.
Enable Tasker and start disabling profiles one by one until the misbehavior stops.
Yes. Will do.
I'm finding Bixby routines to be a real treat. I have several set up already.
When I get to work, it turns on airplane mode, activates wifi and bluetooth, connects to my speaker, sets volume to a low level, opens my play music and starts playing.
Listening to headphones - it turns off bluetooth, sets the volume to a certain level and starts playing Samsung music.
YouTube and Google maps - automatically rotate.
I have several others too. Pretty amazing in my opinion.
Agreed. They are a treat that they have that, but i still feel tasker is a bit more advanced, but not easy to use as bixby routines.
I like them, but lack of integration with smart home is a wasted opportunity
If I can use Bixby voice to turn my lights on why can't I use a routine for example

I haven't noticed a difference.
Running the AOE notifications app, I set the screen to 100% brightness while that app runs in bixby routines. Notification around the notch is awesome.
Thought of this one yesterday -
20% media volume on 9gag, Instagram, Reddit and YouTube. I hate clicking something to play sound and the creator thought it'd be funny to blast whatever sounds are with it. This ends that issue. ?
I noticed something...
when connected to my car bluetooth I set up to enable the GPS and to open the WAZE app. when it is opened I can see the GPS icon but when I receive a whatsapp or so and I click on it, it puts WAZE to the background but the GPS icon goes away...when I bring WAZE to the foreground again, I see it needs to update where I am as it gets GPS signal again...which is quite strange as the GPS icon in the quicklaunch remains active as long as I am connected with my car...
and an other question: is there some sort of priority setting for routines?

You don't have the battery settings to put Waze to sleep immediately or to not allow background running right?
Nice try, not helpful:
I use Tasker for many tasks. Among them these:
- when Waze active and power on AC, turn on volume
- When both Waze stops while no AC power OR power stops while no active WAZE, turn off volume
This cannot be done with Bixby

indeed, Bixby is quite basic, I hope them will make it a Tasker competitor over the months.
Thanks. I completely disabled all Bixby (via ADB) and am using Tasker and bxActions
