[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
We have received several reports on that issue and investigating it.

Can you please try following these steps?

1) Uninstall the app (Create a backup of your rules before uninstalling)

2) Clean all Google Play Store App data not only the cache, and Google Play Service data, in the phone setting.

3) Reopen Google Play and accept the end-user license agreement.

4) Reinstall the app and make sure you have the latest version (Should be 4.0.150).

In case this does not resolve the issue, please reboot your device and send a bug report from within the app as soon as possible after reboot (press the "More..." button, then select "Support" and use the "Bug Report" button).
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Are you also getting a message to reboot your device when launching the app?

If so, please follow the instruction from our FAQ:

Q: I keep getting a message to reboot the device even after it was already rebooted, and rules set to enable/disable GPS or Airplane Mode are not working. How can I fix that ?

A: On some ROMs you might need to install BusyBox for AutomateIt to properly use the “Enable/Disable GPS Action” or “Set Airplane Mode State Action”.

You can easily install BusyBox using apps from the Play Store (such as BusyBox by Stephen (Stericson)).

Once you have BusyBox installed, you need to reboot your device and the issue should be resolved.

One more thing, make sure you have updated your su binaries as it requires some changes on Android Lollipop.
[Android Apps and Games] kingvortex:
Thanks. Yes, I did all those things several times with no effect.

You have been in touch via email with me now anyway and I sent a bug report.

I only posted here in case someone else had a suggestion I hadn't already tried. :)
[Android Apps and Games] danusko:
No I don't have message about reboot. Nothing similar. I tried install busy box as you wrote, but it also didn't helps. Other futures like sync or turn BT works but airplane mode doesn't. Any other suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] Thedim:
I found a bug and it easily reproduceble.

If you are editing a name of an active rule and this rule is triggered you get duplicated rules on rules list. One with the old name and another one with the new name.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

I have a suggestion.

Restore rules should not mark all rules for restoration. If i want to restore few rules it is a hard work to unselect the other rules. A select all or deselect all button inside rules selection would be great for all situations.

Automateit is very hard to handle because it lacks a "CATEGORY" for grouping rules. If it provides categories it will be easy to group rules togheter that belongs to the same automation "program". I mean, i have some automation that uses 3,4 or even 10 rules to achieve a goal. I wrote before some of them on a previous post.

Believe me , automateit can be much better if these easy features are provided.

I´m still interest in knowing if someone else has tried to create some complex automation using 10 or more rules. I got some good ones working such as wifi, mobile data and airplane mode in intermitent mode. This is the best battery saver i could get to work without being offline most of the time. I did it for checking calls in 5 and 10 minutes. My carrier sends SMS for "missed call" while offline, independent of leaving or not voice mails. For GSM voice network i got my rules to stop periodically changing to airplane mode wile in calls or if phone dialer or SMS apps are activated (if screen is on). Even on screen of SMSs provides notitifcations what will alert me of any message, including formissed calls. One great use for this airplane routine is to save battery while searching for availble GSM network. I can send a SMS for myself and if it detects GSM network it will give me a notification. Hope you understand what i mean...

I would share the rules if some of you are interested in testing it.

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

Last but not least... It will be great if backups could use the same feature suggested previously for restore. I mean, user selectable rules.... Also, it could provide a field with the default name but enable user to rename it. It. Both features will enable selectable backups and will make a lot easier to organize rules.
[Android Apps and Games] Thedim:
Another bug related to editing active rules.

If a rule is copied (duplicated) the if it is manually disabled it is being shown as active, althought it is actually disabled (it shows the toast message correctly).

HotSpot plugin 1/2 not working...

I've been using the Hotspot plugin for quite some time as an action for when my truck's BT connects to my phone (that way my laptop has internet). However, I recently unrooted my SCH-I545 (for unrelated reasons), then re-rooted it successfully. Ever since I've rerooted the phone, the Hotspot plugin won't activate the hotspot. Interestingly, when my truck turns off, another rule I have in Automateit kicks in and once the BT is disconnected, the Hotspot plugin is supposed to turn off the hotspot. This works fine...

So, after the reroot on Lollipop 5.0.1, Automateit's Hotspot plugin is only disconnecting, and wont activate the hotspot. Any ideas?

Wallpaper & paths

When I restore AutomateIt after a clean flash, everything is fine, except path to wallpapers !?

Path is set randomly (?) to whatever... I have to redo all my rules that are using wallpapers. Not a big deal ;) but if it´s fixable :rolleyes:

This app has absolutely no support from the devs whatsoever. Even for paid costumers.

I got an update through Amazon for the Pro version a few days ago.
[Android Apps and Games] paolosnz:
Hi, I recently upgraded my smartphone Lollipop, made the root, and reinstalled AutomateIT did restore my rules (do not use the GPS), but now the program no work and always asks me to restart. I installed busy box but it did not work ....

Can you help me?
[Android Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
My response won't help you ... but I had also this issue a few times ago. Then, for an unknown reason ( maybe after last update ???), one day the problem was gone. ( never installed busy box )
[Android Apps and Games] RASTAVIPER:
No problem here with Automateit Pro 4.1.157 and lollipop 5.1

Busybox is also I installed.

Maybe some security options or permissions are creating the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] BreadedChicken:

I complained about the lack of support. That's different.

[Android Apps and Games] paulyz:
I want to make rule, when I come home, automateit turn ON WIFI, when I leave home, automateit turn off wifi, trigger Cell Id. Looks like simple, but at home I have ~4 different Cell Id, so they changes automatic (depending signal strength in rooms), so I always get WIFI's connect/disconnect. I tried add 4 CELL ID, but this not help. Maybe is another way for better to control Cell ID?
[Android Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
That´s how I made myself the same rule :)

It works fine ( 3 different cells ) on my O+1, BUT refuses to work on my O+2 :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] paulyz:
How you made? First rule, multiple trigger (cell#1 or cell#2 or cell#2) -> on wifi. Second rule, multiple trigger (cell#1 or cell#2 or cell#2) -> off wifi.
[Android Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
1. WiFi Off

and

2. Connected to any of these cells ( (cell#1 or cell#2 or cell#3)

then

WiFi ON

_____________________________________________

In my case second rule is slightly different ; just "Device is in car" -> WiFi Off.
[Android Apps and Games] paulyz:
thanks, work. For OFF I made "wifi diconedected XXX -> disable WIFI"

[Android Apps and Games] picklu:
Hello, I just purchased it and trying to configure and fine tuning it for myself. Need some suggestions for rules:

1. screen off then data OFF only when data was enable state. as if I just make a rule screen off then data off, it always execute the rule even data was OFF.

2. Schedule data ON and OFF with time interval of 30 min if Im not connected to my personal wifi

How to make this rules? I downloaded from rules market but dont fulfill my wish :(
[Android Apps and Games] 0rigin:
1. screen off trigger >NEXT> set mobile data action/disable >NEXT> uncheck always active/choose triggers/start trigger/mobile data state/data access enabled CHECKED/end trigger/UNCHECK THAT MOFO

2. [composite AND]/recurring event/wifi state/take your pick & choose disconnected >NEXT> set mobile data/enable

But then you'll have to make another trigger in order to disable the second one. Pretty basic, just take you time.

And since I'm already here, I absolutely love this app, it's quite powerful, but I hate the fact that the dev won't add a few more cookies for rooted users.:)

Hi guys,

I have a rule, on my rooted device, to close Google Play Music after disconnect from bluetooth device. The rule is triggered correctly but nothing happens, even if I trigger it manually.

I tried to kill process with terminal emulater ant it works very well. What is the problem with AutomateIt? Or is there a way to execute shell commands?
[Android Apps and Games] RASTAVIPER:
Isn't Play music part of Google services?

If yes,there is no such option as permanently close it.

You can only Force stop it or greenify it.
[Android Apps and Games] Das.Flaigsi:
I found the Shell plugin for AutomateIt. Now it works. thx

And no, it is no service, because i can close it with "am kill" shell command. That kills no services.

Notification Trigger in MM; motorola phone

Hi all, would like some advise in creating a notification triggered rule.

I'm using a Motorola phone and it would display a "Driving" notification when i'm in a car:

So, am i doing it right? Please help. Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] iluvxda:
hello. i'm changing to a new phone and trying to move my current rules from the old phone using the backup to external storage function which generates a *. AiR file that i then copied to the new phone's AutomateIt/Backups folder.

And inside this app, while the restore function would "see" this backup file, selecting it would not do anything and just shows a black page, with 2 buttons at the bottom: Add to Existing Rules and Replace Existing Rules - selecting either one yields nothing.

I am currently using moto z play on 7.1.1. Do advise as i have quite a few rules which that i would like to bring over from the old phone.

Hi all,

I've been using AutomateIt Pro since 2012. I love it and I have rules set up that I never have to change or modify.. but has development for this app stopped? There hasn't been any updates in over a year. It's not "broke" per say, but I do like to use things where I can count on continuous improvements.

Are people switching over to Tasker and/or IFTTT?

One thing I think I was hoping to do is have AutomateIt connect and talk to SmartThings, but I haven't found any info on doing so.

[Android Apps and Games] j.i.wilson:
I know this thread may be dead, but

I'm using Automateit and it will not save my rules. When the disc icon is pressed it jumps into settings. I guess it's trying to tell me to change a setting but I don't know which one! I have all permissions on for the App.

The App says some permissions are not se t and offers to fix if. But then jumps to settings....

Stumped!

[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
I will soon be buying a new Dell Streak. I'm unsure if it comes with the previous Android 1.6 or the new 2.2...

After looking through some forums here at different roms, whether it be 1.9, 2.1 or 2.2, different people have completely different opinions with regards to the rom, stability, reliability, speed, etc...

This confuses me purely as it leaves me wondering:

1 - What's the BEST one to go with? Which version, 1.9, 2.1, 2.2, which one is best? what's the difference?

2 - I need something near 100% perfect with regards to reliability and functionality, some roms have issues, users complaining with certain functions not working, bugs, camera performance issues, etc...

3 - Which rom/version of Android will give me the BEST performance? Something blazingly smooth/fast, at least that of an Iphone 4g...

I currently own the HTC Desire HD. While it has the SAME spec as the Streak apart from having slightly more ram, the Desire HD's performance seems to be better than that of the STREAK.

What options have I got that can make my Streak operate as good as if not better than my current Desire HD?

The hardware in the Streak is VERY capable, having 512 of ram and a 1gb cpu and therefore should perform well, it's not much different to the iphone 4.

It's having the same ram and a 1gb cpu as the iphone 4.

Your answers are much appreciated guys & gals.

Thanks in advance.
[Streak 5 General] rvbarton:
I'm on stock 354-1 version and it's the most stable reliable version I've seen. I've tried all of DJ-Steve's versions and, as good as they are, I've always had problems when using them. Sometimes minor, sometimes major, but always at least one or two problems.

I've not tried any of the latest flavors either.

I get the best performance & reliability from the 354-1 version.

Also, buy a good case. I recommend the otterbox defender. You have to protect your device.

Don't wast money buying any accessories from Dell. They are overpriced. Do a search on the forums for any accessories you may think you need and you'll find a ton of people with reliable experience to point you in the correct direction.

[Streak 5 General] gregianos:
Download AutoRotate On/Off Toggle by BH_Lin from the market. Its new but very, very awesome. You can have a widget which can easily be used to lock portrait or landscape.
[Streak 5 General] Final5k:
Huh, the application you mentioned functions like the default auto-rotate option. Nothing more than the other apps in the market. It does not lock the screen to be in Portrait Only.
[Streak 5 General] gregianos:
Well, i've had it installed for 3 or 4 days now and it appears to be 'locked' to portrait, apart from games/apps that require landscape (angry birds or plants vs zombies for example), and with those it reverts to portrait upon closure. I am using Simplestreak ROM 1.0 which also has the lockscreen in portrait.

My main reason for wanting this app was to stop the phone app from rotating as I found this to be massively annoying when i came off the phone, tried to hang up and the finish call button would go leaping around the screen as i pulled the phone away from my ear. It definitely stops that happening.
[Streak 5 General] slaydog:
That's the worst. You always hold it up to your ear horizontally, but your not using the screen! I hate when I go to press a button, and the screen rotates just before my finger makes contact- forcing me to press another button. For a split-second your brain screams NO!, but it's too late, your finger is on a collision course...
