Location GSM in standby mode (screen off)

[Morvan Lepannetier]

Hello,

I use Tasker on my phone to automatically vibrate mode when I am at
work. However I noticed that when I'm in standby mode (screen off),
I'm not located, I must click on the power button on the top of the
screen to be immediately located and tasker switche into standby
mode.

Thank's for your help

Mobile : Nexus One
Location : Using GSM only

profiles with Cell Near only or with Cell Near & GPS location contexts work fine in conjunction with profile contains Time context (Every 2 or 5 minutes) with Action Secure Settings plug-in CPU Awake Only 30 secs.
CPU Governor and frequency are stays on sleep states at triggering Time context moments.
AFAIU, that CPU Awake Only make Partial WakeLocks for a time (30 secs) .

It's a known android issue - see issues in the sticky thread (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tasker/o3aDx9_uduc).

Ok, it seems that a time profile for every 5 minutes with a task Get Location, source Net and timeout 15 seconds is working for me without increasing excessively the battery consumption

Yes, it is.  Right now I'm using Get Location, Source Net and Timeout 10 seconds, repeating every 7 minutes.

Good luck!
