Although i get a toast notification that home cell out rule triggered, the sound mode dosent switch to sound+vibrate!!!!

Nice app, bought it today. I am also looking to get this feature functioning properly. Looks like it only works when using Swipe lock option. Really would like this to work with both pattern and or pin options. Can this be addressed in next release?

Something like volume lock seen on some profile apps.

WiFi connection state based rule is not working for me

Created a rule using WiFi connection state based to turn the phone to silent mode when connected to a specific WiFi network (my office WiFi).

I have enabled the "Use slected network SSID instead of MAC address" option. But the rule is getting triggered whenr phone connects to any WiFi not just my office WiFi.

What am I doing wrong here ?
[Android Apps and Games] raddacle:
Just curious if a feature to group rules together, basically folders, was in the works. This would definitely help organize the rules list. Also, people could potentially group connected rules together to have in the Rules Market.
[Android Apps and Games] movrshakr:
I concur with this. When you start getting a lot of rules, being able to group them would be wonderful. You could put 'battery saving' rules in one folder; and so on by whatever categories made sense to you.
[Android Apps and Games] Jigga04:
Or you could do it like me.

If you want to group certain rules together give them the same prefix or number. For instance:

1.1 / 1.2 / 1.3 / etc.

for all calendar rules

2.1 / 2.2 / 2.3 / etc

for all data traffic and Wi-Fi rules

3.x for all location based rules and so on.
[Android Apps and Games] bazilisek:
Hi, I have a problem. If I create a rule where something has to say, so I see this window.

Can you advise what to do?

The window also appears in the store with the rules and always when the rule executes.

I have Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 with SVOX and czech language.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
First off, can you translate what that message says..??

Since SVOX is a speech program...depending what the other message is...it might be asking you to make a choice of which program to use.
[Android Apps and Games] bazilisek:
Yes, it's a question of what program to use. But when I select it, I get to the settings for the download language packs.

But I have installed it.

In automateit can not select Czech language. So I'm choosing English. Although the device switched into English, a window will pop up too.

If I select tts By Google I get here.

If I uninstall SVOX everything is all right, but I do not have Czech voice.
[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
I'd guess that since you have AutomateIt set to the English language your problem is that SVOX is attempting to speak English but since you want it for Czech all you've installed are Czech voices. I'd guess that the only way to fix it would be to set AutomateIt to the Czech language and that would require a translation for the app. I should add that the OP has info about language translation done by users. Perhaps you could do a Czech one.

[Android Apps and Games] bazilisek:
Perhaps the problem will be that automateit wrong cooperates with SVOX. The application itself is in Czech, but can not choose Czech voice, because the application offers only voices By Google and for Google voices can't download Czech voice.
[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
I think there's a language issue here. As in you're not understanding the English I'm writing since it isn't your native language so I'll try saying what I said before differently. If you look at the screenshot you show of SVOX, you will see the language is set to English and it's listing English voices to download. That is because SVOX wants to speak in English. And the reason it wants to speak in English is because the process that wants speech is the AutomateIt app whose language is set to English. Only if AutomateIt was set for Czech would any speech it wants be in Czech. The only way for AutomateIt to support Czech is if some user provides a translation. The details of how to provide this translation is in the OP, first post of the thread.

[Android Apps and Games] bazilisek:
I really do not know what to do in automateit translate when it is already in Czech.
[Android Apps and Games] aryayush:
You can already achieve this. Create a rule that increases the phone ring volume to 100% when it starts ringing if it is in the normal or normal+vibrate sound mode.

For the people here who’re trying to set up AutomateIt rules to get it to unlock your phone on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: while it is a great idea, you should try using this app instead. Works perfectly, and still requires you to slide to unlock, so the phone doesn’t get automatically unlocked in your pocket while you’re on trusted networks.
[Android Apps and Games] Destonian:
I love the app... quite useful, and enjoy it the more I use it. I am curious if there is a way to start a countdown timer? I first thought there was no way to execute a rule after a certain time of day, but found that you can create a second rule to (dis)enable another, so that fixes the problem quite easily... is there a similar trick to start a countdown timer? I noticed that many other NFC scan apps have that, but would like to keep all rules in once single app, and at the moment I am really liking AutomateIt
[Android Apps and Games] raddacle:
Indeed there is, when you're about to save the rule select "Delayed Execution" and select how long you want it to wait till it applies the rule. Reference the screenshot if you need help finding it.
[Android Apps and Games] Destonian:
Thanks! I did not think of using, primarily because I would like to start a countdown timer of which I could see the value, as it is counting down. For instance, to use when scanning an nfc sticker when starting the laundry, or charging the car, so I can see how long still before it is done. This will provide a cool workaround for now though. I guess in the end I will just make a small app that starts a countdown when executed from AutomateIt.
[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
When I used a delayed execution rule I've gotten a notification showing time remaining until it fires. Would that be good enough for what you want?

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Xparent Purple Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] Destonian:
Ah, did not know it does that. I have only used delayed execution for one second, of half second delays... did not know it works like that! This is great... I have no more feature requests now ;) One app to rule them all.
[Android Apps and Games] mcluvin1065:
This app is pretty sweet.. Only thing i havent seen is the setting to allow you to set a time frame... E.g sync from 1 to 5 am and then turn off sync..
[Android Apps and Games] raddacle:
That's in there as well. If you go into the "Always Active" option, you can can specify what days of the week and from what times the rule would be active. And you can reference the screenshot to find it.

[Android Apps and Games] un.droid:
very good app overall, sometimes it seems that the "quiet at night" rule doesnt apply. Can anyone explain whats the purpose of the "when screen off" part in the built in silent night rule? when the screen is on it still stays on silent. Another thing, is it possible to disable the LED during the night? Im using nexus 4 with the latest PA rom. thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] deathblade:
Awesome app though when I installed from play I didn't have the ability to enable/disable GPS but once I restored from a backup I had it did you guys take it out for some reason? Also my battery life has increased amazingly from this app, just by turning everything off and airplane mode on at night I get a full 24+ hrs with moderate to heavy usage, where without it I would get about 5-10 hrs max on light usage
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
If I remember right...GPS access was removed by Google after Gingerbread...so it will only work on ICS & JB if your Rooted.
[Android Apps and Games] deathblade:
I am and have been since day one, I do quite abit of ROM switching but I don't think that would matter considering.
[Android Apps and Games] un.droid:
anyone?
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
I don't use that rule, so I'll make a guess....

Usually, there are 2 rules per service..."Quiet At Night" 1) Screen Off, Mute Volume 2) Screen On, Un-mute Volume.

It seems to me that this Rule would also need the Time Set to work correctly.

Problems with Android 4.3

Very useful app, I use it since Android 2.3 in a Galaxy SCL and now in a Nexus 4. It works perfect until OTA upgrade to Jelly Bean 4.3.

Now I have rooted it, upgrade BusyBox, but some "rooted" features like Airplane mode that I use, doesn't work now. Also, SuperSU don't ask me that AutomateIt Pro wants to use root... then it doesn't have root access.

Some solution please? Anybody knows how to give root grants to AutomateIt if it doesn't request for?

Thanks very much in advance.

Ruben
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
You lost root, there is no way to save it after the update. What you need to do is flash SuperSU 1.51 zip in order to get root back without losing anything....http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

You can download Root Checker from Google Play to check.
[Android Apps and Games] Ruben Kona:
Thanks for the fast answer. But as I said, I have rooted again my Nexus 4 with SuperSU 1.51. My Nexus 4 with Jelly Bean 4.3 is rooted, but AutomateIt Pro doesn't ask for SU grant access again.
[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
Go into the settings for SuperSU. Delete the entry for AutomateIt. Launch AutomateIt again and now you should get the SuperSU prompt for granting root privileges.

Thanks, but after installing SuperSU 1.51, I don't have any app in the "grant" list of SuperSU. Other apps like Root Explorer, Root Checker, Titanium, asks me again for Root Access, but AutomateIt doesn't do. The only thing that I haven't tried is uninstalling and reinstalling AutomateIt, but I don't know if this works.

Google Voice SMS

I have a galaxy S4 AT&T non-rooted running automateit 3.0.66 - I created a a rule called lost.

Trigger

SMS with specific text (LOST)

Action

Enable screen lock

Send SMS (last GPS location)(battery level) to "my other Google Voice number"

I'm using Google Voice for texting... but when I get the text, it does not trigger. Im assuming there is a way for automateit to look for an SMS from Google Voice instead of the phone provider SMS?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
You might be able to use the 'And' or 'Or' triggers...you need a program trigger for Google Voice.

Some of the stock rules don't work for me... the rules that are supposed to automatically turn on and off the speakerphone based on the proximity sensor.

This has occurred on several different ROMs. Any suggestions?

I just bought this app after using tasker for a while and not being satisfied with the complexity of it. i pretty much learned the ropes of this app within 5 mins of toying with it. very worth the money.

a couple questions though. I have set a rule that within certain cell towers (home/work) the wifi gets automatically connected and otherwise the data is on. I wanna know if there is a way to prevent the phone from scanning for WIFI connections as when i'm out, i get random prompts of nearby WIFI connections.

I would also like to set up a global sync rule, but would like to have it sync every 2 hrs or 4 hours. is there anyway to do that?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
If wifi is on it will scan. One option would be to add turning off the wifi at the same time you turn on data and then the reverse. I'm assuming you have an arrive home and leave home (and work) set of rules.

Automateit rule does not trigger when screen is locked

Hi,

I liked this app a lot. But I was unhappy when I noticed that some rules like changing the brightness of the screen do not take effect when the screen is in locked state. The rule does execute though and the value gets set for brightness. However the new brightness value does not take effect. I also tried setting a rule to unlock screen before the change brightness rule triggers. But it did not help.

Not sure if this is phone specific issue as I could not see any threads with this complaint. I am using Xperia Miro phone.

Any solution around this?

Also, is there any way to add rules with conditional validation using IF. I know there are AND and OR already available.

Thanks

Is there another way to have an action like this: at 18 hours the connection rests on even if the screen is off (before was the rule screen off data off) and launch Skype.

Hi,

I have a little request and I thought I'd post it here, maybe see if anyone else is interested too...

Would it be possible to add an action, which would change the connection type(2G/3G/2G+3G/4G...)?

For example, when my screen is turned off, I like to keep it on 2G(in order to minimize the battery usage) and data on(for sync to work), but when I turn my screen on and I'm not connected to a wifi, I'd like it to automatically change to 3G... Well that's just the simplest example, user could obviously use whatever triggers they like.

AutomateIt SMS triggers can be blocked by some SMS apps, but most of them have settings to "play nice" with other SMS-related apps.

Take a look at AutomateIt FAQ page for several examples (GO SMS, Handcent SMS and Contacts+):

http://automateitapp.com/faq-support/

Looking at Chomp SMS I couldn;t find such setting, so you'll probably have to contact the developers of Chomp SMS for that.

If you find a solution, please post it here so it can be used by others.

Google Voice Search

Does anyone know of a command to launch Google Voice Search instead of the Google Now app.

I am using the "Hi Galaxy" command on my Note 3, while the phone is asleep to activate s voice, which I have an action to launch google search when svoice is triggered.

the difference being once google search is launched, I have to then use the google phrase "okay google" to activate the mic.

Tasker has the Voice Search option under applications which automatically launches the mic. Not sure why this program does not. Unfortunately Tasker seems to run a little slower so I would prefer to use this option.

1) Okay - I would probably add a delay to the 'Bluetooth off' automation, this should allow enough time for your device to be seen and stay connected. Set the delay for 10 seconds or so. You do this by selecting the 'delayed execution' box.

2) not sure you can actually do that, what would be the point?
