Hi all, I am using Xiaomi Max 2 (Miui Eu rom), rooted and had installed both Tasker and Waze.
I had set auto rotate to be off, and only trigger when certain app (waze) is selected.
However, there are times whereby the profiles do not get activated. Instead, I will need to access the accessibility tab, unselect and reset the app, then the system will prompt me to accept before working.
Can anyone share with me on why is it as such? Thanks.
Any advice on anyone? Thanks.

I've had the same problem.
The only way to solve it was to use another automation app (now I cannot recall which one) that allowed me to set the orientation of the screen to "landscape" when I launched some apps.
Tasker can only turn on, off or toggle auto-rotation which often creates problems. For me the problem was if the phone was not 100% in landscape mode the trigger locked the rotation in portret.

I found the App.
But being a Tasker forum I'm not sure if I can post the name.

I just got myself a pack of NFC tags and I'm looking forward to using them!
Can I use them to toggle on and off certain system settings like Aeroplane Mode and others? Or would I need one tag for On and another for Off? Do I need tasker to do this?
Thanks,
Jon
Hi
Yes, you will need an app to program the tag for whatever action you like the tag to do. My tags have 2actions, one for ON like actions, and one for OFF. If i use the tag in my bedroom, my hox and my nexus will activate the wifi, turn the brightness to 0% and such things. If i hold again the device next to the tag, the mobile data will turn on, wifi off...
I use NFC Task Launcher App + Tagstand writer (wich is an addon for that app), you can find it in playstore.

Is there a workaround yet to stop Android Auto from disabling the phone.? Once I'm connected to the car I can't see any email notifications (sound/vibrate/LED). It's really irritating and means I have to disconnect my phone every 15 minutes to check email!
Thanks.
Isn't the whole point of AA not to look at your phone every 15 mins while driving ?

You can hit the multi task button and open a recent app. Keep your email client open in recents and check it at stoplights.

That's it! Brilliant thank you. So simple but hadn't tried that. I've now installed the caffeine app which also keeps the screen on permanently when connected to a USB. That way the email notification LED light now works when in Android Auto mode.
Thanks again

Or not. That's kind of the point of Android Auto in the first place is to get people off of messing with their phones while they're driving.
The only solution that I am aware I was to buy an Android Wear watch. All notifications still come through on the watch even when connected to Android Auto.
Press multi task button then press home, quickly select app or open app drawer.
I use this method with Note 4

After reading this I also installed Caffeine, it was the perfect app I was looking for to prevent my screen from turning off.
I enabled my email on Android auto unit, and I receive email notification on that..

Hello and sorry for reviving such an old thread.
I have used for some time the trick suggested by @ireknole with a phone having hard buttons. My new phone, however, has soft buttons and Android Auto disables on purpose the multi-task button. (Mate 10 Pro, Android 8.0).
I have no other option left now to check my phone while AA is connected to the car and running. I need to check the phone for searching for a song or my wife needs to change the song while i'm driving - plus search the internet or whatever else she feels like on long roadtrips.
However, I can still access the notifications drawer and all the shortcut buttons found there (i did not give AA permission to draw over other applications).
Does anybody know:
1) How to place a custom button in the notifications drawer which specifically does that: activate multi-task function or any other function to just put AA in background and allow me to access other apps?
2) How to forbid AA to disable my multi-task button in the first place?
Thank you!

I haven't found a way to get the multitask button to reshow, but I have a built in app on my Samsung S8 that allows me to swipe from the edge of the phone and select the "shortcut" "recent apps" that acts like the multitask button. There may be an app that's similar in the play store that lets you open it with a swipe and map a "recent apps" shortcut as an option.

another way is to install AAWidget. it display a widget on your Android auto screen.
but this only work for AA2.9 since google disable third party apk in AA3.0
AA widget will list down mails, whatapps messages etc as long as theres widget for those apk.
make a clone and aawidget and you can havemultiple widget to read your email/whatsapp etc
but you cant read full email or messages if the email or messages too long. just good enough to check what are the incoming email/messages
Thank you for your answers!
I did not try your solutions because in the meanwhile I found a way to gain complete control over my phone using Tasker.
For anyone interested, create a new profile in Tasker, set the trigger to Apps->Android Auto and the task to "Go home".
What this setup achieves is showing the home screen whenever AA tries to pop up on screen, which solves all the problems
I can use my phone as if AA was not running at all, while AA is completely functional on the car's screen.
I use AA 2.9.57xxxx.
If you are on Nougat you can add a custom tile using the regular android api to launche the home launcher activity. But please don't post any source code or ready to use apk somewhere. This should be something for the "pros" if its too easy to use they come up with a way to block the notification drawer

Thank you! I will also try this approach when I'll have a few hours, as I have some Android development background

I just started using AA on my Nexus 5X running 8.1. AA hides the multi-task button, but if you swipe up from the bottom of the screen; the buttons re-appear for a few seconds and you can select it again.
My problem is that AA sets the screen timeout to 15 sec. So when I pull over to check/write an email; the screen constantly shuts off. The Nexus 5X is no longer a "fast" phone, so starting OWA (outlook) takes more than 15 sec. I've gone into the phone settings after connecting the phone and changing it back to 2 min., but this setting will re-set the next time I plug the phone in again.
Latest version and the version before it (3.1 is latest, can't remember exactly what the previous version is) has changed this.. you can now just swipe up on the phone and access it normally when it's connected to Android auto.
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.
Hi
I need some help:
With previous Android Versions I used a profile for my Navigation App (Sygic) , which turns on GPS and starts a second App in background. The end task was to deactivate GPS and Close the background App.
That worked very well until I updated to Nougat.
Now with Nougat I have the problem that I got a loop when I open Sygic. I think nougat closes an app directly if it is in background, so when I start Sygic the profile starts the background app which is a short time in foreground. Now when automatically switching back to Sygic it starts the tasks again and trys to activate GPS and start the background app again....
So I got a loop...
Anyone with a similar problem or some work around?
For beginning I changed the task and added a shortcut in Tasker which starts both apps (Sygic and background app), and activated GPS. This works well but I am missing the auto close background app and deactivate GPS when closing Sygic...

sorry for the side question, but how do you start an app in the background? and what does/can it do? something like, start music when I open gallery?
It's called Blitzer.de
The app shows speed controls in Germany.
It is startet in widget mode, but there widget is only visible when there is a speed control...

Hi n0gg... could u get in details step how to do it with blitzed.de. thx.
I want fillz custom recovery for my Samsung galaxy s 4 strait talk.
I have same problem with Tasker in Nougat. I have a car mode profile when I pluged my phone to car usb open serval apps, change rotation and gps status now USB Power triger not working on Nougat.
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.
