    Hi,

    Been using Tasker for many years on rooted phone but it died. Don't want to root new phone if I don't have to.

    What I need (and had using Tasker & Secure Settings on old phone) is a an action to auto answer an incoming call if I have my headphones and power plugged in.

    Before I commit to purchasing any AutoApps stuff, just wondering if this is possible with any or a combination of AutoApps software?

    My phone is a Huawei Y7 with Android 7.0.

    Thanks for your help,

    Oli

    Yes, AutoTools has a pick up phone action in the "Connectivity" action. :)

    It works on most devices prior to Android 8 and on all devices on Android 8 or later.

    You can try out the free trial to see if it works on yours.
    Hope this helps!

    Thanks so much for your reply. Great to know that this may work.

    Are there any instructions on how I would do this? Where do I start? I have AutoTools installed.
    Are there other modules that I need for this? Auto Notification? Auto Input?

    The main snag seems to be getting the call to be answered. Setting conditions that this only happens when headphones & power are connected seem to be able to be set from within Tasker. But perhaps I'm wrong on that....

    Thanks again,

    Oli

    Yes, just use the AutoTools Connectivity action and enable the option to take the call :) It's that easy!

    Ok, so I've made some progress.
    Only AutoTools installed at present.
    In Tasker: New Task > + > Plugin > AutoTools > Connectivity > Configuration > Phone > tick 'Take Phone Call'
    My profile condition to action this are: Power Any + Headset Plugged Any + Call Incoming

    When the call comes in all the profile conditions turn green (so it's recognising the incoming call and the plugs) but the call is not answered. What am I missing?

    Maybe your phone is not compatible with the way AutoTools picks up the call... It's only guaranteed to work on ANdroid 8 unfortuantely... Try adding a 1 second wait before trying to take the call and see if that works. Also, add a flash action just to confirm that the task is running.

    Righto - added a 1 second 'wait' action before 'take phone call' and a flash text after.
    Upon incoming call the flash text appears, but the call is not answered.... bummer.
    Does that mean it won't work on my device?

    Yeah, it probably won't sorry about that :( If it gets upgraded to Android 8 it should start to though!
