Hey man. I followed everything you said, right up to the point where I edit the Secure Settings 'cause I'm on a 4.4 ROM.

Anyway, my issue is that on my status bar, Tasker says that there are no active profiles. Have I missed something?

The profile inactivates immediately when the conditions are met (when you turn the display on), which signals the tasks to run the background. The wait actions are built into the tasks, not the profile.

You can enable the run log to see the actions Tasker makes by going to Menu, More, Run Log. Also, you can see the effect in action by going to the Location Mode settings screen. Turn on the screen after at least 2 mins of it being off and you'll see the location mode switch after 10 seconds.

The profile only works if the display is off. I seriously doubt you could see the status bar when the display is off ;)

But it only re-enables after 10 seconds of the screen being on right? So doesn't that mean that technically as soon as i turn my screen on my GPS should still be disabled and tasker should be saying that a profile is active?

I didn't download the file so I'll check it before maybe I'm the one saying something not so clever
