I'm still dying for a headphone-jack-button trigger. Actually multiple triggers for Button click, hold, double click, triple click, etc. Probably should support buttons on wired headphone jacks as well as blue-tooth ones.

I'm also dying for a USB-Tether action (and a WiFi-Hotspot action makes sense as well). In general I would like to be able to easily script ANY action that can be done while navigating the standard system-settings menu-items. Even if I have to do: SETTINGS, DOWN, DOWN, ENTER, DOWN, ENTER, HOME... it should be possible for AutoMate it to navigate any standard settings-tree for any app, but at least start by making it possible for the standard system-settings-tree.

(PS: I'm still stuck on Froyo with my SK4G... if it matters for any of these options, which I do not think it does)

Thanks!

PPS: When I purchased the Pro version, I expected to see a lot more new triggers/actions like the ones I have requested above (and many other times in various placed over the past year), but the updates have brought very few new features, mostly just a major UI rework and the sharing-store. I do not think I would have bought the app knowing what I know today. I need to give Tasker a try I guess, I just HATE paying for software as I almost always regret it, and AutomateItPro is no exception unfortunately. If you ever give me Headset-Button or USB-Tether before I find something better, then it may be worth the money yet, the free apps for these things are to "noisy" and slow and bloated, which AutomateIt can be too at times, but it runs smoother than most single-purpose apps, and can do everything except the 2 things I really need it to do!

I purchased automateit pro almost 2 years ago and just reinstalled it with ny new phone, and am a bit dissapointed that you still can not send an sms back to the person who the sms came from...

or was it implemented and I don't see where?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Any chance there will ever be a way to execute shell scripts with Automateit Pro?

I would like to run a bash script every X minutes or hours or something

TIA

New Release – Rich notification, Unlock Pro features and more

This is some awesome, great new functionality but I still have to criticize the choice in UI/graphics... it still looks like an antiquated Android 2.3 or lower notification because it doesn't follow the Holo style. Please consider Google's UI guidelines for Displaying a fixed-duration progress indicator
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Thanks for the feedback. will definitely look into it.

I didn't post about the new update (yet) since on the last few updates it seems like the Play Store takes some time to distribute the APK and I didn't want to post too early. It looks fine by now though :)
[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
+1 for the rich notifications. They are a nice addition. I also think that the UI looks a bit dated and the holo look would be nice. I don't feel it looks bad though and would rather have the developer spend time adding features instead. I'd like to +1 for the ability to run shell scripts.

galaxy note, 4.0.4, automateit pro 4.0.54, missing navigation

I am using the above configuration and when choosing action, it lists applications without "navigation". I can choose maps, but need a few more steps to get there.

Ideally, I like to choose navigation to a specific address. BTW, enable GPS works fine for me. I have rooted the device.

Thanks

Muzikant - would it be easy for you to have send sms action allow the phone number to send to be blank - which would be an indication to just send the sms to the phone number who sent the most recent sms that arrived?

That would allow to reply an sms back whoever sent an sms trigger.
[Android Apps and Games] rpmccormick:
I'd like to +1 ANY new actions/triggers and -1000 any new UI / Social features!

I'd also like to request a refund since there have been virtually zero actions/triggers added since I bought the program 6mo ago, and the features I do use seem to keep breaking with updates or not run reliably. The old UI was fine. Sharing is useless as people just post the same stuff millions of times and none of them really do anything the way I would. Points system? You got to be kidding me.

If you made this program able to do ANYTHING (keystroke macros / shell-scripts) and made it stable and reliable I would pay $50 for it, but in its current state it just continues to get more bloated and useless.
[Android Apps and Games] fluxgfx:
Way to go on the APP. I'm definitely buying into the pro version.

At this point mate you've actually compiled a great software that does everything I need in automating task that I do on a regular basis. Up to now most apps I've used haven't been able to achieve much of what I needed to.

Stumbled upon your app yesterday morning and after running with it for the rest of the day and night I was sold with it.

I needed an APP that would switch from ringing to vibrate, wifi on and off on various times and location base and more. Total of 29 rules are being applied.

Great work!
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Reply to sender will probably be supported on next update or the one after that.
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Since Android 4.2 update Google blocks the airplane mode setting. There might be some solution for that on next updates but it would only work for rooted devices
[Android Apps and Games] pwoita:
Awesome!

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] affmalg:
I recently tested AutomatIT again (I had already used it a year ago) and i'm happy about the new features and very nice design and usability.

The most important Rule for me is, when connecting to a specific WLAN network it should disable the Lockscreen (like beeing home). The rule works but it has a MAYOR inconvenience: As soon as I press anything in the notification area/dropdown it re-enables the lockscreen. This makes the whole rule negligible.

This has been tested on Android 4 and 4.2.

Could you implement that the lockscreen stays off even when using the notification area it stays off. I would PAY for that!

Here http://goo.gl/L9Oyq some people had a discussion just about that. I might help.

Thank you for the Great App!

Greetings!
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
This is already a known issue and will be fixed in next update or the one after that.

Thanks for the link though :)

Sorry guys,

Concise user interface makes this app more useful !
[Android Apps and Games] movrshakr:
Muzikant,

The font in the body of this page..

http://muzikant-android.blogspot.com/2011/03/automateit-useful-rules.html

...is EXTREMELY faint. Would you consider changing to to pure black?
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
The font is faint on purpose since this page is no longer maintained. Instead, there is a reference to the following link:

http://automateitapp.com/useful-rules/
[Android Apps and Games] movrshakr:
OK, not maintained...but does that make the rules there invalid and un-useful?

I got there by clicking links on your pages, so, unless the rules there do not work, I see no reason to make them unreadable.

Perhaps make the situation clearer for visitors..

Leave the font black

and

change the words "Visit our new website at http://www.automateitapp.com"

to something like

"This page no longer maintained.

See our new website at http://www.automateitapp.com"

But if the rules on the old page still work, I see no reason to hide them.

Plane Mode

Hello,

I tried the "Active/Deactive plane mode" rule and it does not see to work. History shows me that it's being triggered but the phone does not go into plane mode.

Had to stop using this app, sad I bought the pro version, the rules I set for my ringer barely worked unless I was actually in the app first
[Android Apps and Games] silverburst11:
I was having the same issues, nagging for the Pro version when opening the program (I own the pro version) and my rules not executing.

Tried to revert to the previous version with Titanium, but it just forced closed when opened.

Ended up uninstalling it and reinstalling the current version from the market, had all my rules backed up. Imported them back in (overwriting the default rules, there was no option to accept those like there was on the upgrade) and all is well again.

So if your having problems, suggest backup rules, uninstall and reinstall.

How to delete composites?

Thanks a lot for this nice app, was worth for me to buy the pro-version!

But I have one big problem:

I have an "leave home-zone" trigger, it looks like this:

IF not in area xy AND not connected to one of home radio cells THEN turn off wireless.

I want to change it to something like this:

IF (not in area xy AND not connected to one of home radio cells) OR

connected to car bluetooth THEN turn off wireless.

But it is not possible to delete or change the "and" composite, how can I do it? the trigger itself is more bigger, so I dont want to rewrite it completely from scratch...

Thanks a lot for any suggestions!
[Android Apps and Games] silverburst11:
Spoke too soon, the nag screen came back after a little while, looks like most of my rules are still running though..
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
After further investigating the issue, it looks like a bug.

It was already fixed and next update should completely remove that screen from the pro version.

Apologies for the nuisance...
[Android Apps and Games] silverburst11:
No worries, to be honest, I rarely open the main program, I just set it and forget it so to speak. I only noticed it because I was going in trying to find out why my rules weren't executing, but the reinstall seemed to fix that.
[Android Apps and Games] detonation:
Is there an action (or plans for one) that will start/stop music from playing? For example, on the Car Dock trigger I would like music to start playing, and on the Undock event I would like music to stop.
[Android Apps and Games] HoPi`:
Oh boy, these sensor-rules really mess with me... maybe I can get some help here.

I want my tablet to turn on the display when I lift it from the table (I don't lock it, it's at home almost everytime). So basically:

if [device screen is off (optional) and] device is moved from "laying flat" position into something else unlock it

Which sensor might be applicable for that? And which values do I have to record? I'm really confused about the usage of the sensors. Thanks in advance!

//edit

Oh, my device: Samsung GT-N8010
[Android Apps and Games] raddacle:
Just curious when the next update would be coming because I'm having the same issues of pro screen coming up when I already have it and rules not actually executing. Thanks

EDIT: Makes me see how life would be like without AutomateIt, pretty damn tedious

New release !

Just released a new update with the following features:

• Enhanced contact selection in relevant triggers and actions - allows selecting specific contacts, last SMS sender, type a phone number etc.

• Add "Run in Background" option to Open URL Action

• Added setting for minimized service notification

• Enable/Disable Sync Action is now available for all devices

• Enable/Disable GPS Action is now available for all rooted devices

• Uploading rules to the market does not gain points

• Bug fixes - detailed list at http://goo.gl/qNpu3 (Includes fix for the unlock features popup on pro version and more)

As usual, it could take some time for the Play Store to publish the new APK.
[Android Apps and Games] stefanjadex:
Hi,

I would like to know if this app can turn on/off the GPS (action) if I open/close a specific application like Google Maps (trigger).

I read the post above and it states that enable/disable GPS is available for all rooted devices. Including ICS?

And one more thing: does this app need to be installed as an Accessibility service in order to work?

My phone details are:

Samsung Galaxy Note II

ROM: 4.1.2 stock XXDMB2, ROOTED

Regards,

Stefan
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Since you have a rooted device, this should be possible (even on ICS) using the enable/disable GPS action.

If that doesn't work please send me an email using the support option from within the app.
[Android Apps and Games] PanicMan:
No one have suggestions on this? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Unfortunately, you'll have to create it from scratch...
[Android Apps and Games] PanicMan:
Damn... Thanks for reply!

What about an long press on AND/OR-Icon for delete kontextmenu in future versions? ;)

And one suggestion more:

Is it possible to draw in overview of an Rule in green what trigger is triggered and in red whish trigger is not triggered, so it is easier to adjust complexe rules? Would be very great!

Thanks a lot! You do a great work!
[Android Apps and Games] TheScarecrow:
To PanicMan

Have you thought about splitting this into two rules let's say rule A and rule B. Rule A is Enabled, rule B Is Disabled.

When rule A is triggered it Enables rule B. Rule B is then triggered or not triggered as the case may be but it then Disables itself or even Disables rule A. I find this to be a very powerful feature of this App.

Hope this can help you find the solution you want.
[Android Apps and Games] PanicMan:
Jep, I thought of it, but it is not possible for me, as I cannot fire rules, only enable/disable them, I allready work with this great feature, but in this case not usable.
[Android Apps and Games] stefanjadex:
Thank you for your answer.

I've tried and it's working, but there is a problem.

Here is what I would like to do:

a. If I open the iGO, then the GPS should be started (ON),

b. If I let the iGO running and switch to another application (phone by example), then the GPS should stay ON.

c. If I close the iGO, then the GPS should be stopped (OFF)

The actual problem with AutomateIt is that if I press home button to choose another app (b.), the GPS will be turned OFF.

Can you fix this?

Otherwise, the app is great and I would be interested to buy the Pro version if this will be solved.

Regards,

Stefan
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:

Hi,

maybe I am just not able to find it but is there an action to change the input method/keyboard?

Ullrich.
[Android Apps and Games] pwoita:
Awesome!!

Would it be asking too much to be able to have an option to delete the last sms also?

Eg:your phone is stolen, so you use another phone to sms 'send location', and it sends the location to where you sent from, but it also shows a notification on your stolen phone saying 'send location', whereas deleting the sms as soon as autoamteit gets the message would make it a work in stealth.
[Android Apps and Games] akira018:
May I know whether the following rule works

I have 2 rules (1) Turn off wifi and mobile data from 10pm ; (2) Turn on wifi and mobile data from 6am

I want to set the third rule to Turn off mobile data if wifi is connected. But I'm not sure whether this rule will overwrite the above rules or not. Since wifi is off from 10pm onwards, will this rule turn on mobile data or it will stick to 3rd rule.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
You don't need the 3rd rule. Every Android turns off mobile data if wifi is connected, even if the wifi network does not have internet.
[Android Apps and Games] akira018:
Oh, I didn't know that. Does it mean that the data won't consume any battery at all, right?

can I turn off the low battery light with this? :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] vNa5h:
Underestimated app ...

better than tasker
[Android Apps and Games] movrshakr:
Wait wait wait....

not possible! It means that any data transmission is going out via wifi. That means the wifi transmitter/receiver is operating, and that most certainly WILL use battery.

However, the INCREMENTAL amount of battery use will be insignificant...the transmitter receiver is on anyway (whether data is transmitting or not, so incremental battery use while data is flowing is insignificant.

Complicating things further, android will put wifi to sleep (subject to your configuration settings) when not in use for some time, so that WILL reduce battery consumption.
[Android Apps and Games] jhuff83:
Glad to see that enable/disable GPS is back for rooted devices. Is it possible to create a trigger so that the location and google search services is off until an app like google search or maps is activated. That would be great since it eats up battery. I've had over 700 wakelocks just for that crap.

Hi, i've bought this app and I like it a lot. I have a calendar triggered rule it didn't work. I've changed the frequency of refrechement from 4 hours (default) to 1 second, it worked. Which is the resonable frequency to be sure it't working ? I have even 10 events each day (ex from 9:30 to 10, from 10 to 10:30, etc) but usually i write them in the agenda long time before. Thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Changing the refresh interval is a valid solution (especially if you update your schedule frequently) but I would recommend setting it to at least 10 minutes. 1 second could be a bit too aggressive on the device...
[Android Apps and Games] adrianhoria:
Thanks for your answer. I know 1 second is insane, I took to the extreme to see if it's working. I'll try with one hour in order to preserve the battery.

By the way, your work is great, I see you are very present in this thread, it's a pleasure to see developers like that. Your work worth every cent I payed !

Need help with Automateit:

I have a rule "meeting on" with calendar trigger and silent action, a "meeting off" rule, also calendar trigger and sound on action, both work fine now. I have a "screen off" rule which cut off wifi and data when the screen is off, question of saving battery. But if "meeting on" is activated and I use the phone, when the screen is off the "screen off" rule is activated and I think that the "meeting on" rule is no more active, am I right ? If it is so, how can I solve this ?

Thanks, I hope I was intelligible.

By the way, another question, even it's a little bit out of subject. It is really useful to have a screen off rule to cut off wifi and data when i don't use the phone ? Does it really significantly save power to introduce such a rule ?

Thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] adrianhoria:
I think my question was useless, the meeting on rule is still active even if screen off rule activate

Ditto on LED Notification disabe/enable request!!

Agreed. I'd love to have it turn off at a certain time of night and back on in the AM. The Razr HD notification light is rather large and very bright. I typically cover it or place it face down, but if I for get and a message or e-mail comes in, then it will blink so brightly that it wakes me up. Would definitely compliment a AUDIO STREAM VOLUME settings rule.
