I am happily using Custom Car Home when driving, but I have a bit of a conflict. While I find the In-Call volume to be a bit too loud when set on maximum in most situations, I won't be able to hear anybody unless it's set this way while it's in speakerphone mode and I'm behind the wheel. I would create a context based on the speakerphone activation, but Tasker gets no signal for this. So I have Volume Control+ Pro set the In-Call volume to 3, while a Tasker context should have it raised to 5 while I'm using Custom Car Home (which auto-enables the speakerphone, but not the volume). The problem is is that this context is not working. It goes CONTEXT App->Custom Car Home TASK Audio->In-Call Volume 5 The volume has remained on 3 whenever my phone rings, or I make a voice call through Vlingo while in Custom Car Home. It doesn't seem to matter whether I have Volume Control+ Pro locking down the volume either, and I would think that Tasker would take precedence when it works right, but I tested for this anyway - negative. Why should this not work, and what other solutions are there?
Have you tried running the action on its own? This will test that the profile is getting activated. Try it with Volume Control+ both running, and not running. It could be that Volume Control+ is overriding the Tasker setting. What happens if you kill VolumeControl+ at the start of the Action? If Tasker won't change the in call volume at all, I'd check with the Tasker discussion group - Pent's normally fairly responsive about this sort of thing. He's always responded to me, anyway.
The problem is likely that once you are receiving or making a call, you're no longer in the Custom Car Home app. So Tasker changes the in-call volume to 5 when it sees Custom Car Home as the foreground app, but when a call comes in (or you make a call), Custom Car Home is no longer the foreground app, and Tasker sets the in-call volume back to its previous value. Although Tasker has a variable that you can use to determine the current speakerphone setting, you can't use this as a context since it's not monitored. You could try triggering based on going off-hook and then conditionally setting the in-call volume: Context: Phone offhook Task: In-call Volume 5 If %SPHONE ~ on In-call Volume 3 If %SPHONE ~ off Each time you go off-hook your in-call volume will be set based on the current status of the speakerphone.
