Tasker profile suddenly stopped working

Pinmac1 · Jul 30, 2015

I've been using Tasker for the last couple of years and have some simple but very useful profiles. One of them is Night Stand where, when it is on AC power and the time is between 23.30 and 7.30, the Display Brightness goes down to 3, display Autorotate goes off and it goes into Silent Mode. All was well until last weekend when I wiped and rebuilt my Galaxy Note 3. I had copied away the Tasker profiles I had and so copied them back and Restored them. All looked OK but this profile isn't working any more. When it is plugged in between the relevant times Autorotate goes off but the Brightness does not go to 3 but it does not go in to Silent Mode. The profile is shown as being active.

I can't figure this out all. Can anyone help please?

Silent mode processing changed with Lollipop. Was that a factor here?

Thanks, Thom, I had no idea that they had changed Silent Mode - what genius thought that one up?! I had just received the 5.0 upgrade and that is what caused me to re-install. I've rejigged the Tasker profile to not use Silent Mode but to achieve the same thing with a different task and it seems to work. I guess I'll find out tonight. Now I've got to work through my Tasker profiles and see which of them use Silent Mode.

I Googled to find out what you meant about changing Silent Mode and there was a lot of talk about Notification Settings with Interruptions apparently to be found under Sound and Notifications. I can't find the setting on my phone. Thanks heaven for being able to do this sort of thing via Tasker!

Apparently Silent Mode will be reinstalled under 5.1 but it's taken me so long to get 5.0 I won't be holding my breath. Thanks again.

It is still gone in 5.1

On the Droid Turbo under 5.1 it is at ...

Settings | Sound & notification | Notification access

This shows a list of apps. You need to authorize Tasker and any other app you want to allow to totally silence your phone.
