Tasker Dual sim data switcher Fi

[Cdaddy002]

I'm not a tasker pro, so there are probably at least 20 ways this can be better. I wanted a way to quickly change which sim is used for data. I created a task in tasker which is called from a quick tile to do the switch.

The tasker stuff is after the green text (if you just want to scroll).

Fi has 3 cellular providers, TMobile, Sprint and US cellular.

There are 9 options for providers in Android global settings:
mobile_data1, mobile_data2, ... mobile_data9 (might also be a mobile_data (with out a numerical suffix), can't remember lol).

Your sim will use one for each provider. So I would have 3 providers for Fi and 1 for at&t. You will need to figure out which of the 9 you are using. Easy way would be to use autotools and read the values of these settings then just "flash" the value on the screen. If you have a computer and can use adb, that works too. You can use fiswitch to change Fi providers, then use the flash method to figure out the provider number.

In my case it was mobile_data4 (TMobile), mobile_data5 (Sprint), mobile_data6 (US cellular), and mobile_data8 (at&t).

When switching SIMs the active sim has all of its providers disabled. The providers for the new sim are then enabled. After that you update a setting (multi_sim_data_call) to tell Android which provider to use for data. You will want to disable data, update this setting, then enable data. You will also need to stop and start ril-daemon using a shell command (toggling air plane mode works too, but I think restarting ril is faster).

Note: because I use Fi soon for phone, I use the setting to figure out which provider to use when switching to fi.

I used autotools to set the globals because that's where I started (it's working great so I don't want to mess with it). There are probably several ways to do it.


Here's what I did in tasker:
