    Sounds like a good idea. What's the best way to check whether data is on or
    off?

    Make a profile with context state -> net -> mobile network and check all the boxes. You can use that profile name with the %PACTIVE variable if needed. Search the user guide and/or forum if you need ...more

    Ah, PACTIVE ofcourse. I was taught how to use that in another of my
    threads. Thanks, I'll see what I can put together.

    I ended up doing it in a possibly inferior manner:

    If I understand what you want from your original post, you want to do the
    data check when the screen is off only if you manually turned the data
    off.
    In that case, you need to be able to know ...more

    It appears that the latest google maps update (6.14.4) on JB (4.1.1)
    running on my samsung i747 has caused location in Tasker to stop working .

    The question has been asked before,... Can you let Tasker paste text?
    Currently this isn't possible apart from using the 'Set Clipboard -> Type'

    I have no idea how the whole remote thing works but it looks like a

    When you use MyMobiler and you copy text on the pc and then "paste" it into

    UPDATE:
    So far there hasnt been an unexplained reboot. I think something in my
    settings was corrupted and re-selecting 'never' may have put it right.

    Hi Pent,
