So as some of you may know there is an app for android called Tasker and it is by far the most powerful app out to date.
"Tasker is an application for Android which performs Tasks (sets of Actions) based on Contexts (application, time, date, location, event, gesture) in user-defined Profiles, or in clickable or timer home screen widgets.
This simple concept profoundly extends your control of your Android device and it's capabilities, without the need for 'root' or a special home screen"
As powerful and amazing as this app is, it's pretty hard to use unless your very tech savvy and I have been searching the Net for some how-to guides but their doesn't seem to be much out there. So I wanted to create this thread and have people post their own little tips/mods that they have set-up with Tasker so that newbies such as my-self can have a place to go if they need help getting Tasker to perform certain functions.
I just download the app last night and haven't had much time to mess with it yet, but once I get the hang of it I will start posting what I'm doing.
Anybody that uses Tasker please feel free to add on to the thread and lets make this the ultimate "How-to" guide for people trying to unlock the full potential of this amazing app.

@OP, one that I made that I find useful scans the SD card for new media whenever it's mounted.
PROFILE:
Event - Card Mounted (Priority: Normal, Card Title: <blank>, Frequency: 1)
Task - Media -> Scan Card
Task - Alert -> Flash (Text: Scanning for new media..., Long: <unchecked>, If: <unchecked>)
This one turns off the lockscreen when using Music or Pandora (you have to make two separate profiles!)
PROFILE:
Application - Music/Pandora
Task - Display -> Keyguard (Set: Off, If: <unchecked>)
I also spent a lot of time developing a task that would turn airplane mode on for 45 minutes, turn it off for 15 minutes, then turn it back on and repeat until stopped. Everything works except Tasker stops all timers when the phone sleeps, so unless I want to put a partial wake-lock on it (which would defeat the whole battery-saving purpose of the profile in the first place), it doesn't work

Both setups seem very useful, ima check them out. Thanks for the input!
About the one you can't get to work. I'm pretty sure I actually saw something similar to it the other day on another website, not 100% sure though. I think it was a profile that allowed you to basically turn off all of you're data and have it come back on for a short period of time to gather texts and stuff...
Ima going to look for it for you to see if i can find it...
In the mean time I found a few useful profiles here http://lifehacker.com/5606284/three-handy-tasker-profiles-from-our-readers
I would post them but theres actually quite a bit if you look in the comments and the post itself.
Once I think of something "original" i'll post it
You also might want to check the official Tasker pages. There is also a Wiki with step-throughs (link on left side of main page).
http://tasker.dinglisch.net/
This is the only app I have been able to find that will let you remotely turn the GPS on. IMO that alone was worth the money, now I don't have to waste time writing an app for it.
I've been working on something to activate the GPS and send the phone's location, available wifi networks, etc, over a text message. Haven't figure out how to make it update the GPS location or turn on 3G yet though. Anyone know anything about android bridge scripts and if they would be able to do this?

Wow. thanks a lot for the link. i have been looking for some sort of wiki or help for tasker for a while now but apparently I wasn't looking in rite places.
Thanks again.
Also, Mobile Defense, if installed in system apps allows you to remotely turn on gps and track your phone, however, they have temporarily closed down the beta. I've always had it on my android phones and it's pretty amazing. Much better than lookout for tracking your device.

maps to start gps and gps logger
hi everyone,
i'd like to start maps, and have:
- Gps turned on
and
-an app called GpsLogger to start.
The problem i get is that, once Gps is turned on and GpsLogger is opened, if i get back to Maps by long-pressing the home button the whole automation starts again, leading me to GpsLogger again..
Could anyone help please?
Thanks!
I downloaded Tasker the other day to accomplish one thing only. I wanted my wife to be able to get through to me whenever she called me. I work shift work so my phone is set to Silent at odd times when I am resting, so the various dings and rings don't interrupt my sleep. Fearful of her not being able to get a hold of me in an emergency, I set this up:
Profile: Priority Call (named by me)
Context: Incoming Call - Very simply, I used the magnifying glass to select her contact from my phone, and it input her name in the box.
Task: Silent Mode - Mode set to OFF
This profile checks all incoming calls and then turns Silent Mode OFF and allows the call to ring through. When the call is done, the phone returns to Silent Mode. NOTE: I also had to set up a separate task to turn the phone to silent in the first place. For some reason, Tasker would not recognize the phone as being in "Silent Mode" if I used the volume down button to put it in silent mode. So I just added a shortcut to the Tasker task of putting the phone to silent on my homescreen. Now when I go to bed, I hit the shortcut and I am able to be undisturbed until I wake again, unless my wife calls. I could see this being very useful for people with teenagers that are out or babysitters with children.
This task can also be useful if you sleep at defined hours, because you can set the phone to automatically turn to silent at X hour, and turn silent mode off at X hour. Just some ideas.
I am now searching for ways to completely automate the phone by making it turn on my GPS and Bluetooth when I am away from home, as well as turn these off and turn my wifi on when I am at home. Several attempts with no knowledge of this app have been unsuccessful so far. More to follow.

Tasker is a very powerful program for Android devices that lets users have complete control over the automation of their phones.
I have seen a lot of fragmented threads about different profiles and requests for help. So I have decided to make a thread to collect profiles and advice for people from different devices to use (hopefully in an easy to understand English!). Also, I'm not a huge Tasker wiz! I just hope that everyone can contribute in one place for everyone at xda. So please send me/the contributor a PM if you see a post that is wrong.

Absolute Beginners:
If you are completely new to Tasker, you need to check out the Tasker website and wiki.
The program may seem unwieldy and complicated at first for those who do not have programming experience - I certainly found it a little intimidating at first - but once you play around with it, it helps a lot. The guides on the wiki and on the website are a little confusing, so hopefully this thread will help decode some of the settings/profiles into plain English.
The wiki is worth checking out for the walkthroughs and downloadable profiles - so take your time to check it out!
duckredbeard has also pointed out that there is a google group for Tasker which is supported by the developer himself. So if you need some trouble shooting, check that out too.
Turning GPS on only for GPS apps and then turning them off again
Automagically switching wifi on and off
...slowly building more. post to contribute!
Here are some basics that every beginner needs to know (or if you just need reminding).
Profile:
Not much explanation needed. A profile contains all the required settings for a particular purpose - it is usually recommended that you give your profile a name that makes sense (e.g.: "Wifi at home" for turning on/off your wifi when you are near your house). A profile has:
Contexts
Tasks
Exit Tasks (not always)
Contexts:
A Context is basically an on/off switch for your Tasker profile - something that tells Tasker that a certain thing has happened/is happening and so Tasker should do something about it. When you tap "new" in Tasker and have given your profile a name, you will be given some choices for your Context. A Context can be:
Application (profile is activated by the opening of an app)
Time (this can be through a time interval or a set time frame)
Day (profile activation based on which day/month you are on)
Location
State (of your phone)
Event (something that has happened to the phone)
Tasks:
Once your profile has been triggered by your Context, you want it to do something - this can be switching on Wifi, or locking your phone, or turning on the GPS, launch an application, etc. You have amazing control over what your phone does! You will need to explore the different options in order to understand the kind of control you have.
Exit Tasks:
An exit task tells Tasker what to do once your Context is no longer true (e.g.: you are no longer near your wifi network). You can tell Tasker to switch things back on that you might have turned off (or vice versa). You do not need to have an exit task, but sometimes it is useful. You CANNOT have an Exit Task if your Context is an Event.
Monitoring your context:
Some contexts (like "Location") require Tasker to recognise when it is in a certain area or not - this is how Tasker does it.
To find a wifi network using the "Wifi-Near" context, Tasker switches on your wifi briefly (specified in "Menu -> Preferences -> Monitor -> Wifi Timeout Seconds") and scans the wifi networks available. After the specified amount of seconds has passed, Tasker will then switch off the Wifi scanning. Tasker begins scanning for wifi networks again after another time interval (specified in "Menu -> Preferences -> Monitor -> Wifi Scan Seconds"). Obviously the more you scan the more battery you use, but also the more responsive Tasker will be. And obviously the shorter amount of time you spend scanning for networks, the more battery you save, but you also have a lower chance of connecting to a network. Tasker can only do this wifi-scanning if you have set your Wifi to [TOGGLE] or [ON] - it will not do it if you have set your Wifi to [OFF].
GPS is a much more accurate way to find your location, but obviously much more battery intensive. Settings are much the same as the Wifi ones and are found in "Menu -> Preferences -> Monitor". Tasker can only update your GPS location if you have set your GPS to [TOGGLE] or [ON] - it will not do it if you have set your GPS to [OFF].
Network Location is the least battery intensive, but also the least accurate. Tasker checks your network location according to the time specified in "Menu -> Preferences -> Monitor -> Network Location Check Seconds".
...more to come.
--just in case--
Using GPS only when needed:
In normal use, apps like Weather, Places, Latitude, etc, only need to know which suburb/cell tower you are using. If you have your GPS switched on, then it becomes a huge waste of battery. Here is how to set it so that your GPS switches on when you use a GPS app, and then to switch it off again when you exit that app.
Profile: "GPS on"
Context:
Application
Google Maps
Locations
Navigation
...etc
Tasks:
GPS [ON]
Exit Tasks:
GPS [OFF]
Automagically switching wifi on and off
The Easy Way:
Profile: "Wifi at home"
Context:
- Wifi-Near [(Set as your work/home/school/etc SSID and MAC address - do this by long-pressing on the dialog box for Tasker to scan for you)]
Tasks:
- Wifi [ON]
Exit Tasks:
- Wifi [OFF]
This method has Tasker checking for your wifi network according to the settings you placed in:
"(Tasker Home Screen) Menu -> Preferences -> Monitor"
However, this theoretically leads to more battery usage because Tasker is always checking for your wifi network even when you are nowhere near your wifi network. You could always have it check your location using your GPS, but this is even worse for your battery. A way to reduce this battery drain is to lower your "Wifi/GPS Timeout" setting and increase your "Wifi/GPS Scan" setting. This will cause Tasker to check for wifi networks/GPS location for a smaller duration and less frequently - the downside is that Tasker will be less responsive when you enter into your wifi network (eg: if you set Tasker to check once every 10 minutes, then you might have to wait 10 minutes before Tasker kicks this profile into gear)
Slightly more complicated way:
This requires 2 profiles.
Profile 1: "Home"
Contexts:
- Cell Near [(press 'scan' to let Tasker find out what cell towers are near you)]
Tasks:
- Set variable "%HOME" = [1] (this is a variable i defined myself)
- Wifi [TOGGLE]
Exit Tasks:
- Set variable "&HOME" = [0]
- Wifi [OFF]
Profile 2: "Wifi at home"
Contexts:
- Variable "%HOME" matches [1]
- Wifi-Near [(SSID of home/work/school/etc)]
Tasks:
- Wifi [ON]
- Mobile Data [OFF]
- Mobile APN Enabled [OFF]
Exit Tasks:
- Wifi [TOGGLE]
- Mobile Data [ON]
- Mobile APN Enabled [ON]
(you can also enable Auto-Sync if you wish)
Explanation:
This method can theoretically save battery and increase the responsiveness of Tasker. It does it by only enabling the Wifi-scanning when you are within a certain cell-tower(s) area. Since checking for your location via the mobile network does not require much battery (and also since your phone is automatically doing it for your weather app anyway), you can set your Network Scan time to something quite low (I have it at 15 seconds). Once you are in the general area, then Tasker begins to look for your wifi network. Because you are not always searching for the wifi network, you can increase the frequency of the searches and also increase the duration of the search.
This does require a bit of testing - I find that it works quite well, but that could just be my area. Have a go and see what you find.
dont mean to cut down your efforts here, but: http://tasker.wikidot.com/
It will be nice to use this thread as a helpful discussion area on programming tasker as their does not to be such a place on the tasker wiki site.
Maybe you can help to achieve this state.
Is it possible to have several IF variables?
Ie.
Between hours 21:00 - :06:30 Reduce phone ringer to 2
If Location (network operator) = Home
and Power is connected
and phone has been idle for 30mins.
I have been playing with Tasker but having no programing experience it is difficult for my brain to wrap around how I would achieve this.
any hints?

yeah, I'm aware of the wiki - but the wiki doesn't answer all the questions and I feel it isn't organised very well (not that this would be organised any better). Plus, a forum opens things up to discussion and sharing, which I'm sure a lot of people will appreciate. feel free to contribute!

I believe that if you put all of those 'variables' into one profile and make them all contexts, then you would be able to do that. But don't forget to set your task priorities properly!
Have you tried:
Code:
Profile: (profile name)
Contexts:
- Time [21:00-06:30]
- Wifi-Near [(your home SSID)] (also see my post about how to reduce wifi-searching to increase battery life)
- Power [Any/AC/USB]
Tasks:
- Ringer Volume [Level 2, (Sound, Display if you want as well - good for debug)]
Exit Tasks:
- Ringer Volume [(whatever you like your volume level to be at)]
I am not sure how to do your "Phone Idle" condition as I have never had to use it before - I suppose that you could always set another 2 profiles:
1 to countdown to 30 minutes which then sets a variable (say, "Timer") equal to 1 and has a context that tells it to run the profile every time "Timer" = 0; the other profile would have set "Timer" = 0 every time the Display turned on. You could then add a "Timer [matches 1]" context to your original profile, and that should work.
This seems like a rather roundabout way to do it, but that's what I can think of at this time. Let me know if you would like me to post up the instructions to do that though.
If anyone else has a better idea, let me know!
I think when using tasker (particularly with lots of profiles) It is important to keep things as simple and clean as possible. Otherwise if certain tasks start becoming too dependant on other tasks it will either reduce your ability to program new tasks or Things will start going pear shaped.
For Example. If I were to program the phone with Wifi-Near to Enter silent mode It will affect any other Tasks I have going with the Wifi, Either it being Turn wifi Off Or stop searching or Even If My network goes down. I think (if possible) it would be better to use a different more non varried method of location if you know what I mean. I think it would go for any other tasks you would want to program as well. Keep things simple and very direct, It will also help you too trace back and find problems if needed later down the track as well.

whilst it is good to try and keep things simple, sometimes more complex profiles lead to more efficient use of battery. Or sometimes a simple task may need certain exceptions so that it fits around our lives. Remember that Tasker should be making our phones do what we want, how we want it - we want to try and avoid the "i'll get used to it" line as much as possible.
When using complex profiles (or even profiles that may end up conflicting each other), the use of priorities for your task is very important. For example - when my "wifi at home" profile gets switched off, it turns my wifi onto [TOGGLE]. BUT if I leave the cell-tower area near my house at the same time, it tells it to turn wifi onto [OFF]. Since these are conflicting tasks, I have given my wifi [OFF] a higher priority than [TOGGLE], and so Tasker does what I want. As with any programming, sometimes convolution is unavoiable - in those instances make sure that you keep your line of logic clear (some people like to use flowcharts for programming, but i think that's a bit excessive for Tasker - each to their own though!)

The Exit Task is unneeded. For all On/Off toggles, Tasker returns them to their original state on exit automatically.

As far as I know, your phone will automatically switch off your wifi when you have your screen off (unless you installed a mod/app that forces it to stay open). I believe that Tasker (by default) will switch it off unless you have put wifi to [TOGGLE]. However, if you wanted to be completely sure, you can always use variables.
ie: you can make a profile that sets a variable (say, "WifiON") to 1. and then when you make a "screen on" event profile, make it Wifi [ON] IF WifiON [matches 1].

I haven't found it on Tasker - but then, I don't really know Tasker as well as some other people here. You could always try to use the launching of the Music app as a context, or use the headphones plugged in event as a context?
If you haven't been to the google group for tasker, you should go NOW. It is moderated by the developer himself. He answers questions every day, including updates on what to expect on the next version. There are dozens of users on that group that can and will help you with the infinite number of things Tasker can do for you.
Head over to http://groups.google.com/group/tasker/topics?gvc=2 and read a few pages. It is likely that your questions have already been answered.
Whenever Ive previously tried Tasker it savages my battery...
All I had it doing was at a certain time turn on mobile data, open rss reader (so it updates) then play a beeping .mp3
Just wanted a flashy alarm clock to get to grips with it. but always see 25% less available battery with it installed than without...

what is your device? I have seen improved battery life with my HTC Desire Z - I usually only had about 30-40% battery at the end of the day with light texting, some calls and web surfing. Now i have about 60%! Although that's not completely Tasker - I do have SetCPU to underclock during screen off times.
Did you turn the mobile data back off?
Yep, had it to turn off mobile data and then enable wifi when I close the news app.
(I usually keep wifi on 24-7 if Im at home that day).
I say it took about 25% of my battery because I usually get 36 hours with everything on (except BT) and with tasker going I only got slightly over 24hours... (maybe like 26 or 28?)
Its a HTC Hero btw. Maybe ive just tuned it so that its at its optimum battery for me and my situation? I just think its weird that whenever I use Tasker within the next 2 days the battery has dived down to 20 something hours from around 35+
Hello something similar has been already asked, but what I am looking for differs a bit.
Is there an app like the Nokia Profiles with which you can have a Profile with Auto Airplane Mode from ex. 02.00am to 07.00am???
Hi,
I have developed an application that puts the device in airplane mode at the specified time. It also gets the device back into normal mode at the specified time. This happens every day. One can also cancel the auto on/off scheduling.
It doesn't support profiles yet, but I am looking for ideas. The application is small and is free without any complexity.
You can get it from the Android Market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.naresh.utility.auto.onoff&feature=search_result
Do tell me how it goes for you.
BR; Wolverine
If youre looking for something more complex, look for Tasker from the market. You literally can create your own profiles etc
Hi All,
First of all, I am quite happy to be a part of such a vibrant community of developers and users alike. I have developed a small and simple application that allows you to put your device into airplane mode at the set time and put it back in normal mode at the set time.
This cycling happens everyday and all radios are returned to the same state in airplane off as they were before the airplane mode is turned on. I basically use it to put my device into airplane mode at night. In the morning, it automatically turns off the airplane mode. This allows me to save battery as well without going through all the other complex stuff.
I have reports of testing it on multiple devices working properly. But I also have got reports of it not working without more details from users. Would be great if the community here can help me check it out and report errors if any. I would also appreciate a rating help if possible.
There are applications like Tasker which are far too complex for such a small job. Also my application is totally free.
************************
Auto On-Off Flight Mode scheduler. An easy, nice and simple application to automate the Flight Mode Scheduling. Saves battery the easy way. Night is the best time when you don't want to be disturbed and when you want to conserve battery. In the morning at the Set time, it automatically comes out of flight mode. So now you are ready to receive calls and messages as needed.
A perfect application for the simple purpose of saving your battery. No need to mess around with complex settings. Easy to use for novices and advanced user.

Looks great! I was just looking for something like this. I've been using Tasker, but that's a bit overkill.
Hello XDA Community,
i get desperate every time i start android auto and night falls. The Dark Mode does not turn on automatically. In the developer options of android auto I have already set controlled by vehicle to smartphone. Every time i restart android auto it shows white mode. That's very bad. Some people have had this problem in the past, but I couldn't find a solution. Everything is up to date and of course with a pixel 7 pro. Is there an app where you can do tasks? that you have a link or app that can set this manually every time?
Theres a setting in the AA settings to pick dark mode light or automatic, works all the time
Yes, this is what i mean. Bur it is not switching automatically
