New Feature Request

Sorry if someone else has already requested this feature, but I did a quick search and didn't see it...

It would be great to have a trigger for when a wifi SSID comes into range.

This would allow for pseudo location-based triggers without having to use gps (battery!)

In case I didn't explain that well enough, I'll give a quick example:

(Name of Wifi Network at my Work: ewlan)

Trigger: When ewlan comes into range:

Action: Set phone to vibrate-only and launch foursquare

Right now, all the wifi trigger options available require you to actually [at least attempt to] connect to that network, which maybe not everyone wants to do (if its unsecured) or even can do (my work network requires special software to connect to).

I think this would be a great feature that would allow for huge battery savings over a straight gps location trigger. I feel like it couldn't be that hard to implement since there are already so many wifi connection state triggers (but perhaps connection state is a lot easier than detected/not detected)
[Android Apps and Games] rxrox:
change/set ringtones?

Can you please add an action to set or change ringtones?

ie- when I'm at work, I want to set my phone to vibrate and play a ringtone which is just a single beep. Then when I'm done with work, I want to switch back to my normal ringtone.
[Android Apps and Games] Tippfehler:
I did not find "ring once" in android and therefore created two rules.

Maybe this can help, if you insert your location trigger and change the delay to 2.0 seconds.

ring loud, "[Call-Status]: For all incoming calls", "[Change volume for a track]: Changes volume for ringer control at 100%", "true ","",""

softly ringing, "[[Combined trigger AND]]: [For all incoming calls

And external power supply is unplugged ]","[ volume] for a lane change: changes for bell volume control to 14% "," true "," 5.0 seconds "" "
[Android Apps and Games] JiggerMonk:
While I think this app is excellent, having 7 letters crammed into 5mm (yes I did measure it) is really unpleasant.

When you take usability on high DPI screens into account, I promise to buy the pro version (using the more basic one atm).
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Which 7 letters? On which screen?

The fonts were enlarged on the last update (2.19.4) so make sure you run the latest version. If this is still too small please report back.

A screenshot would be appreciated as well.

Hello,

I got the pro version from the android market and installed in my LG G2x. But when I tried to create a rule to disable mobile data based on some trigger, the app fails to disable data.

My understanding is there is some issue with the kernel source of G2x that prevents application to disable data. The same issue was reported for Juice Defender and it has been fixed in the latest version of Juice Defender beta. The similar fix needs to be implemented to Automateit Pro.

Here are few post for reference:

I'm using Milestone2 with android 2.2

I got a problem that when I set a timeout action to 15s, screen off cannot immediate effect after 15s if it's settings without show popup messages. Like trigger with accelerometer in face up state, action set timeout to 15s.

But haven't any problem when it's settings with show popup messages.

I want to turn on bluetooth when I get in the car and turn off when I get out of the car
[Android Apps and Games] yungyeh:
I think it's possible as long you can solve the question of how to define getting in/out a car?
[Android Apps and Games] konijay:
well...that is the question...what would trigger the bluetooth to come on/off?...I don't plug the phone inside the car
[Android Apps and Games] yungyeh:
One of the feasible solutions is using the time trigger and location trigger. Ex:

Time trigger 8:00 / Time trigger 18:00 -> turn on bluetooth

Location (office) / Location(Home) -> turn off bluetooth (better with a delay timer due to the location accuracy)

You may need to use the gps signal for more specific location detection.

How do you think?

Disable data on Bionic?

I am using the free version on a Driod Bionic. I have a rule setup to enable wifi when I get home and another to disable data (and the converse for leaving the house), but only the wifi is toggling. Looking in the history, the rule is being activated, but no change is occurring with the data connectivity.

Is this feature supported on the Bionic? It doesn't seem to be necessary, but is this a "Pro"-only feature? I am rooted with a custom ROM (not CM7 based).

Thanks and great app!

[Android Apps and Games] movrshakr:
Figure out something you usually do not do on the phone, do it when you get into the car, and have that be the trigger for BT.

Will still be an action, but could be one step vs. many.
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Following movrshakr suggestion, if you place your device in a cradle in a specific position you could use the sensor trigger from the pro version to detect that specific state. Read more about it here: http://muzikant-android.blogspot.com/2011/05/automateit-goes-pro.html

[Android Apps and Games] FixedTheFernBack:
I just bought the pro version and i am having trouble. I want to have a SMS with text trigger "Find phone" activate a Set Volume action (turn up all volumes), then Vibrate action (vibrate for 2 seconds), then Play Sound action (alarm sound) so that i can find my phone around the house if i happen to misplace it when it's on silent.

The interface is very simple to use and it should work but for whatever reason it's not activating. I am using GO SMS as my main app and i'm running MIUI. Could this be the reason? does it only work with the stock android SMS app? Does the text trigger need to be in the body of the sms or the title? Am i just an idiot and doing something completely wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Could be due to a setting in GO SMS. See the last paragraph on this webpage http://www.wheresmydroid.com/troubleshooting.html

Also, I can't believe it took me so long to realize that the two buttons to the right of every rule (edit and delete) are extremely unnecessary and a waste of space. Edit can be achieved by simply tapping anywhere on the entry, and really, how often will you need the "convenience" of the delete button? Not to mention both of these can also be done by long pressing an entry... I just think the two buttons are eating up way too much space (I have Show Action Details and Show Trigger Details enabled). Similarly, why would anyone need the "convenience" of the delete all rules button that stays anchored at the top right of the main screen? Both delete buttons are just unncessarily dangerous IMO. Thoughts, Muzikant?
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Interesting thoughts about the delete and edit buttons... guess I am so used to having them on the display that I haven't thought about whether they are really necessary. Will consider removing them when I'll make some adjustments to the app UI.
[Android Apps and Games] blackspp:
Hi all. I have 2 (or rather 4) rules that no longer work. The set that Muzikant made to turn on/off the external speaker during a call using the proximity sensor. Running 2.3.5 on the S2.

[Android Apps and Games] FixedTheFernBack:
Hmm...That didn't seem to help at all. I tried uninstalling GO SMS and just using the stock MIUI messaging app and it didn't work either. Is it an issue with MIUI? Does anyone else use MIUI and have issues with the SMS With Text Trigger? All my other actions i've made (only a few so far) seem to work beautifully, but i can't seem to get this one do work.
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Try unchecking the "exact match" checkbox on the trigger configuration:

Make sure you don't have any unwanted space characters both in the trigger configuration and the sent SMS (some keyboards add spaces automatically)

Enable/Disable only the the pattern/pin code

Thx for a great app - Just turned pro to support the continued development.

I have an issue regarding the Enable/Disable Screen Lock Action. I would like to always have the screen lock enabled (HTC Sensation with Pull-ring-up or Pull-icon-to-ring type screen lock) to avoid pocket calls etc. if the power button is activated and the screen lock off. I would however like to disable the unlock pattern when at home and at work. I have searched this thread and blogspot without finding the answer. I know other apps and widgets can do this, and I don't want to cheat (unless I need to).

Can you Enable/Disable only the the pattern/pin code without affecting the screen lock?

Btw, I second the suggestion regarding removing the "Delete" buttons from the main page. It's all risk and no use.

LTE On/Off when Certain Programs Running?

Ok, so I got this great new phone... But as with almost every LTE phone out there the battery life sucks.

So I wondered if there was a way that I could trigger LTE to turn on if I launch the browser, the Android Market, or any other program that I wish to run.

Then once I got out of that program (which that brings up another question, How do I make sure the program I get out of is reallu closed?) can I automatically switch back to 3g. For normal tasks I don't mind 3G, but for internet etc. I really want th power of the LTE Network that I had to get the new device for.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] pwoita:
so 4g uses even more battery than 3g??
[Android Apps and Games] usfbulls:
4G Battery Life and Follow Up on 4G On/Off Rules

Yes, unfortunately 4G uses LOTS more battery than 3G. From what I understand, 3G is built into the standard Cellular chip. 4G is currently a separate chip so when it is on, it uses that much more power. Future chips will have 4G technology embedded just as the 3G is. Therefore the power consumption difference on 4G will be negligible.

For now, if you don't get great battery life with any 4G phone. Turn off 4G and only use 3G.

But that is why I asked about the settings to enable and disable 4G on Enable and Disable of certain programs such as "Internet", "Mail", "Market", etc. When these are not the active programs, then 4G should be OFF and 3G should be ON. Then when one of these becomes the active program, then 4G would be ON. I think this would be a fantastic feature if possible. I just can't find a way to toggle 4G with the AutomateIt Pro tool. I have tried all kinds of combinations.

Thanks to anyone whom can assist!
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Just to clarify the 4G vs 3G battery thing, this is true for Verizon and AT&T's LTE radios as well as Sprint's WiMAX radio. This does not apply to T-Mobile's HSPA/HSPA+ 4G (aka faux-G).

Way better than tasker!!
[Android Apps and Games] TheSkipperCDB:
From your FAQ:

Couldn't you also just make it an option in AutomateIt to ignore the options that require root? I don't use any of the options that you require root for, so if I could disable the root-required options in settings, there would be no need to check for root access and I wouldn't need to see these "Superuser" messages from Automateit.
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
If you don't want the "superuser" messages to pop, you can do one of two things:

Disable the notifications in the superuser app. notice that this will remove notification for ALL applications and not just AutomateIt

Deny root access from AutomateIt (and check the "Remember" checkbox so it will not ask for root permissions anymore)

If you don't require any of the actions that use root access, I suggest to go with the second option. If you do want to use some of the actions that require root, go with the first option.
[Android Apps and Games] TheSkipperCDB:
I have done then second option you list, but superuser still pops up notifications that AutomateIt was denied root permission. And I'd rather not turn off the superuser notifications, because I would like to be informed when an app requests superuser access.

Multiple actions and current time keyword

Excuse me for not going through these 55 pages, but I have two simple questions.

1. Is it possible (in the free version or in the pro version) to assign multiple actions to one trigger ? (e.g. tap on an icon and then send an SMS message, enable bluetooth en start an app).

2. Is it possible to use a keyword for the current time in an SMS message (the manuals only speaks of Location and battery level.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
The pro version allows you to assign more than one action to one trigger. In the free version you can do it by creating a rule for every action with the same trigger, but that can be troublesome.
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
There is no keyword for the current time. My question is why do you need it ?

The SMS message is sent and every SMS application shows the time it was sent/received.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
It is possible for the "received" time to be wrong if either the sender or receiver have no reception. E.g., sender sends SMS at 1pm, receiver's phone is off until 5pm, receiver's phone says SMS received 5pm.
[Android Apps and Games] Blazeguru:
c00ller is right. But not only when the receiver has no reception, but also when the receiver has a phone call the time is not right.

I want to send an SMS message when I leave the office to go home. When the receiver is busy with a phone call (that can take a while :) ) the receive time of the message is very different form the time I send the message. So the receiver has no idea when I send the message.

Hi,

I just use your app but I had one question. I have currently 2 rules who use the location trigger. One is set to scan every 15 minutes and one is set to scan every hour. So after 4 runs they will both be scanning. Will they do one scan together, or are they scanning apart? (because, if they scan together, I can set the second rule also on 15 minutes).

Another question is already asked in august, but because it possible is changed; is there a possibility to get the pro version without CC? (possible a kind of beta version?).

In global, nice app and keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to the next release with the new features wich are on your blog ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Got it. Will be added to the feature list for next updates (I know, no update for a long time... Coming soon :))
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
If you have several location triggers, every one will manage its own scanning schedule and they will not be synced.

In regards to the "How to buy AutomateIt" - no change for now. Google is slowly (very slowly...) integrating a way of payment that will be charged to your phone bill but this is only available for a few carriers.

Change Network Mode Setting

I suspect this has been asked for already, but I feel like I should weigh in and suggest that a feature be introduced to allow users to change the Mobile Network setting for "Network Mode" to one of the options displayed by a particular device. My Galaxy Nexus (CDMA model) offers two options, the battery-eating LTE/CDMA and the far more durable CDMA. I'd love to be able to switch between the two using triggers, as my home is located someplace where coverage is nonexistent for LTE, but I do have coverage a few minutes away. This would go a long, long way toward preserving battery life.
