![]() Since AutoTools is now required to target API 29 (read above for more info about API targets) it can't do that anymore. That's normal (and precisely why this app can still toggle wifi), so please dismiss the warning because it's nothing to worry about.įorcing connection to a certain WiFi Network used to be a feature in AutoTools. Note: your phone may warn you that this app is built for an older Android version. I can't upload this version to Google Play because it targets API 21 (which is why toggling Wifi still works with it) and Google only allows apps that target API 29 and over. Make sure to check here too for how to exempt it from battery optimization: Įven if you already have the "Tasker Settings" app installed from Google Play, you need to install this new version for the Wifi toggle to work. Make sure to exempt the "Tasker Settings" app (not only Tasker itself) from battery optimization ( ) so that Tasker can call it in the background. To get Wifi toggling to work again please install this app. If you want to better understand what "targeting" an API means, check here: What are your favorite Tasker recipes?

Links to our social media are to the left of your screen.Google has changed the way Android works for apps that target API 29, so Tasker can't toggle wifi anymore. I’m a tinkerer at heart, and Tasker not only helps me fulfill that desire but also helps make my life that much easier. I love Android because it has the power to do things like this. So, what did we just do? Because we linked the two wifi tasks to the context of being close to the cell phone tower or not, whenever the device enters or leaves that area of that tower, the wifi radio of your phone will either automatically turn on or automatically turn off after a short period of time. Once that’s done, long-press on the words “Wifi On” and select Add Exit Task. You’ll be presented with a list of the tasks you’ve already created. After it’s identified a tower, tap Stop and then tap your back arrow once. What’s happening here is that the phone is picking up cell phone towers in your area. Tap it, and let the device sit for a minute. Tap State, then Phone, and finally Cell Near. Swipe over to the Profiles screen and tap the plus symbol. This may sound tricky, but it’s nearly as simple as setting up the wifi tasks. Step 2 – Use a Profile to Link the Tasks to a Context Go back to the Tasks screen and you’re done. Repeat this step, only this time name your new task “Wifi Off,” and instead of selecting On from the drop down menu, you’ll select Off. You’ll see that “Wifi On” is there – congratulations, you’ve just set up your first task! Select On from that, then tap your back arrow until you’ve returned to the Tasks screen. ![]() Tap the plus symbol in the center and name this task “Wifi On.” On the next screen, tap the plus symbol again, then tap Net and then tap Wifi. Swipe to the Tasks screen if you’re not there already. Open Tasker and you’ll see what amounts to a blank screen with a bunch of clickable options. Let’s get to it! Step 1 – Setting Up the Two Tasks Sounds pretty simple, right? Good, because that’s the profile we’re going to create. The profile is the shell that contains the task, which is turning on my phone’s wifi radio, when the context of being near the cell tower occurs. For example, when my smartphone pings off of the cell phone tower in my neighborhood, I want my wifi radio to turn on so that I don’t have to turn it on manually to connect to my home wifi. We create a profile full of tasks that execute when a certain context or number of contexts are met. HOW TO: Change system date in OS X from Terminal ![]()
