Seems like you have too many profiles trying to control the Wi-fi switch and they are stepping on each other. The exit task for that procedure is executing when you are not expecting it, most likely in the time frame between the wifi turning on and it connecting to your wifi network. That exit procedure will kick in as soon as the wifi is turned on and before it has time to make the actual connection.

What you really need I think is to just use an exit procedure to the original task that tests for the GSM tower. When near that tower, turn on wifi and turn off bluetooth. Exit procedure reverses it. The problem is, that profile has a time restriction on it. Seems unnecessary, and will cause the bluetooth to flip on and wifi to flip off at night, since all three conditions are not met.

As an editorial note, I have found that WiFi doesn't really use a lot of juice. I never turn mine off. I use the connection to my home wifi (both by SSID and MAC address) to determine if I am home or not. The cell tower actually covers too wide a range.

Thanks very much for your advice....I can now see the conflict and overlap between profiles.

Tasker forgets my changes So I made some changes yesterday to update my %MYMODE variable, tested it and was working as desired. Today I noticed it wasn't working as expected so I looked at the task and the changes I made yesterday are gone (back to task from 2 days ago). I have noticed this happens frequently for me when I make changes. Eventually the changes stick but I don't understand why it keeps losing changes I make. I have searched for a fix previously without much luck. Anyone else have this problem, how to fix????

Ok. This can be solved when I just switch my phone profile (with BT Activation) to car when I walk to my car or maybe this can be solved with an other project in tasker, which will turn on just for 10 sec. every 5 minutes my Bluetooth with a time-plan during the week from 6 am to 8 am and 4 pm - 8 pm

Have you thought of using an NFC tag? Or you could switch on your BT at 6 and if not connected by 8.10 switch it off.

You could also use your Home Wifi as a guide. If between 6.00 and 8.10 WiFi disconnected, switch on bluetooth.

My Tasker is not able to read incoming SMS... i have set it to print the content of %SMSRB as a toast (flash) when an incomming message is received. But it doesnt even detect that an sms was received. And %SMSRB is always blank... anybody can help??

Just to test, i have done the following:
New Profile -> event -> Phone Received Text -> any ... and associated it with:
New Task -> Alert -> Flash -> "SMS Received"

It does not work... any ideas why???

I want to delete telegram image folder directory
because when i use telegram, photos automatically download to that directory and it makes my phone has less free space.
So i want to make a profile, to delete it once a day.
But when i set a profile to delete that directory it says directory is not empty and it doesnt delete the files,

in advance, i want to delete non-empty directory using Tasker,
Can anyone help?

Thank you.
I guess that this would work :
1. + -> State -> Display -> Display State -> Set to Off
2. New task : Name it 3G-Off -> + -> Mobile Data -> Set to Off
3. Add Exit task -> Name it 3G-On -> + -> Mobile Data -> Set to On
If this didn't worked then you should maybe try this :
Profile is working.

How do I get WiFi to connect to saved networks automatically with screen off? I've tried everything. Only connects as soon as I turn the screen on.

Despite being old, it seemed like this was an appropriate thread to ask this in, rather than starting a new one.

I'm using a SGH-I337 (AT&T-branded S4) on 5.0.1 Lollipop. Can I use Tasker to change a single setting within the stock messaging app? Specifically, I want it to toggle vibrate off under notification settings, when a specific bluetooth device (my brand new semi-smartwatch) is connected; this way, the phone still gets the notification and sounds off when I get a text, but it doesn't vibrate (my watch will do that instead).

I just started using Tasker today btw so I'm a complete noob at this stuff.

i can't find shake on my galaxy s4, where is???

I've recently discovered Tasker** and i really loved it so i though that i'd better creat a thread so other people could do the same and by the same way this is an S4 Special Edition so we can share our profiles to optimise our phones.

*For thoese who doesn't know it : Tasker is an app that let you automate your phone and it's a very powerful tool.
