I have 18 rules set up and 17 of them work without a problem. Any triggers that I set up that use SMS (any, contact, or text) don't work. Have tried numerous times but when the text comes through for any of the three nothing happens. I'm rooted but on the stock ROM. Any idea what could be causing this.

Update...Thought the issue may have something something to do with the phones software so I put a ROM on it and still getting the same result. Wondering if anyone else with the HTC DNA is having the same problem.

If this app supports shell commands (or sending intents, natively) and the email app has an intent to refresh/query, then you could do it.

Try monitoring a logcat, asking the email app's devs, or decompile its apk and check the manifest for intents (not all of them might be there, and their names aren't always revealing).

Otherwise, you can use dpad/shell commands to simulate dpad movements, which means you can open the app, simulate a menu button press, then simulate pressing the refresh button. I haven't used this app so I don't know if it supports dpad emulation natively. If not, you could use shell commands.

I had the issue when used Handcent SMS

I had the issue when used Handcent SMS which has some option to disable other apps receiving sms to avoid double notification, something like "Make Handcent main sms app". Or may be it was Go SMS?

Just bought the paid version, love it, can't believe it's sooo cheap
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
Now that I'm on JB, I noticed the notifications look out of place, just a bit.. ;)

And since JB has the ability to provide notification action buttons (see Alarm example above), it would be awesome to include buttons for delayed notifications such as "Cancel" and "Perform action" while the actual notification has a nice, Holo-style blue progress bar. That would look really nice.

Another +1 for Secure Settings integration.

Currently having to use Llama with Secure Settings so I can have slide-to-unlock when connected to home wifi, and pattern lock when disconnected from home wifi. As far as I can tell, AutomateIt only disables the lock method?

[Android Apps and Games] Soundtrack to Chaos:
Was the issue with some rules that are time sensitive and 'and or' rules fixed?

I purchased the pro version a week ago half the stuff i enter doesn't work so I un installed this morning and went back to the free version
[Android Apps and Games] Soundtrack to Chaos:
Time sensitive rules still don't work, for me at least. Made a rule for s app to launch at a specific time, and the rule never worked, even checked the history and it list said created, but it never activated at the time I selected

Will use automate it pro for the rest of the day and see if my other rules work, if not ill just go back to my free version and consider forking up the the stupid 7$ for Tasker
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Time trigger most common pitfall is that the "wake device" check box is unchecked. In that case, only if the device is awake the rule will launch.

As for having time trigger as part of a composite AND trigger, the rule will launch only if on the specified time all of the other triggers are active.

If that doesn't answer your questions, please send us an email using the Help button on the About screen so we can take a look at your rules and see what is wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] Soundtrack to Chaos:
My wake device check box is always checked
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Just got to download this, and I think I will stick to it and have a look around.

Firstly, I notice "Multi trigger" isn't implemented? For example, "Call Triggered + Low Battery" -> "Text-to-Speech + Play sound " or something like this?

Secondly, I realized the "Rules Market" latest tabs are having mixed content. The first few in "Latest" tabs have contents of "Hot Rules"

Other than that, everything is cool :laugh: gonna explore it soon and report and bugs or anything. Sorry if the above is posted before.

And by the way, the design is awesome ^^

EDIT : Just realized the first one is for Pro version. Sorry! My bad!

Location based trigger not working

Hey Muzikant,

Got the pro version. GREAT app!

Unfortunately can't seem to get location based trigger to work.

I've written to you via the help button on the app. Await your response. REALLY REALLY wanna get the location trigger to work...
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Thanks.

Have you tried looking at the following link ?

http://automateitapp.com/user-guide-2/location-trigger-tips-tricks/

The most common issue with location trigger is the proximity radius you use.
[Android Apps and Games] The-Droidster:
Great app!

Plz consider adding

1. Show text messages as popup action.

2. For many users for whom GPS toggle is not working you could add an option to present them with the location and security settings dialog.

Thnx! :)
[Android Apps and Games] shajman:
I left it at default.

Do you recommend lower or higher?
[Android Apps and Games] pwhitersxs:
Use a higher proximity radius. If you're using course location, I'd make it 800 or so. I actually use course location to save battery and a 4000 meter radius as I want my phone set to silent at work. Large area, but it always works!
[Android Apps and Games] pwhitersxs:
Ya know... I just noticed on the droid dna, coarse location does not work when the device is sleeping. Is it possible to add wake device for this trigger? I can send a help! If needed.

My temporary fix is to do an AND composite trigger with time and coarse location so that the device wakes up.
[Android Apps and Games] shajman:
Wonder if that's the issue I'm having as well :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
There shouldn't be an issue with location trigger when the device is asleep as it already wakes the device to check for its location as defined by the sampling rate.

You can take a look at the rule history to see if it wakes up or not, and to find out the location sampled.

The rule history is available from the "Rule History" button on the rule toolbar from the "My Rules" screen.

for more details visit the Location trigger tips & tricks page on AutomateIt website.
[Android Apps and Games] pwhitersxs:
Hey Muzikant, great app. Bought the pro version years ago.

I can tell you that on both the droid DNA (4.1.1) and the sprint note 2 (4.1.2) that the phone does not wake to apply the rule (set phone to vibrate) while using course location only. I do not want to use gps because it will kill my battery, so I am testing turning on gps, but having the timeout at 5 seconds and see if this helps the phone wake.

EDIT: Tried gps on with timeouts of 5 seconds and 35 seconds, still not working on my note 2 with screen off. The device does not wake to switch to the device to vibrate.

The reason I don't want to use GPS is because I'm in a building where it will never get GPS.

It seems that course location is not working on both JB devices I tested. I left the screen on to test so that it did not sleep or go to screen off and it still did not work. My note 2 receives the network location, but the rule is not executed.

The one way that works is to setup a time trigger which wakes the device and do an 'AND' with a location trigger as well.
[Android Apps and Games] spupuz:
hey Muzikant can you please make the application notification element to be more holo themed please??
[Android Apps and Games] baine1805:
auto gps?

OK I've tried searching first to no avail so plz don't troll me but I bought your application and am curious, is there a way to make GPS enable only when the application uses it unless a rule is in place to enable it for say maps and you have maps open. Basically I want to use location on this but I don't want to eat through battery juice. Does it already do this or no and if not is there some way I can create a rule that does?
[Android Apps and Games] spupuz:
i'm also really interested in this!
[Android Apps and Games] lurkapup:
in app hooks?

I suspect the answer is no, but is there anyway to hook, or trigger an event within a third party app? I guess even something like the old microsoft macros recorder would work, where it just physicially memorises the manual events and replicates them?

Basically I've setup the rule to activate my favourite music app when I plug in my headphones, nice start. Now I want the app to start playing music! :)
[Android Apps and Games] gabi11:
Hey Muzikant,

I finally installed the leaked version of jb for I9100 - xxlsj.

As I said Before, Automateit keeps fc's with it.

I did as you said, the installation from the play store went fine.

I activated the app and the service started running.

The minute I restored the rules from within the app it started fc.

I couldn't even enter the app so I froze it for now through titanium backup.

I sent you a log through the app you suggested.

I hope you'll fix it soon because I have some rules that I can't live without.... :)

Thanks,

Gabi.
[Android Apps and Games] doongoo:
some rules doesn't work well on JB, I also had to delete some, but the app itself is working
[Android Apps and Games] gabi11:
I was going to send a respond email to Muzikant but I'll respond here...

Do you have trouble setting rules with set brightness action?

For example a rule that opening gallery app will set brightness to automatic.

When I try to set this kind of rule the app fc.

Plus I managed to restore all my rules that doesn't have "Brightness action".

But actually I don't think that this is the only problem because:

1. I manged to succesfully restore one set of rules that has a brightness action (Muzikant - I sent you the rules. I'm talking about brightness for incoming and ending calls).

2. The app worked fine but after some time, when it was in the background it FC without any particular reason (this trigger and action launched fine few minutes before. When it FC there was no incoming call trigger)

3. I disabled this set of rules.

same thing - phone worked fine but suddenly automateit Fc's again....:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] doongoo:
I've had problems with rules with vibration. When vibration vas triggered, the phone ended always in continuos vibration (so I had to restart it). I disabled all the rules with vibration therefore
[Android Apps and Games] lurkapup:
likelihood for conditional rules?

Hi Muzikant, was just wondering if you are thinking you'll ever add the facility to create conditions for rules i.e. if trigger do x, but only if y. For example, something keeps turning my data on. I want to create a rule to turn it off, but obviously not if I've turned it on manually, so if I could make a condition I could go if 3g turned on, turn if off unless screen is on (i.e. I'm using the phone).

I had a couple of others that made sense too but can't remember. Essentially most of the current triggers could also be useful as side conditions, especially time slots - all the rules for sending texts could benefit from being conditional on the time...

Anyway, thanks for a cool app, just curious really.
[Android Apps and Games] igloo_01:
I found this app the other day and am having fun with it! My 1 question at the moment is whether it's possible to create a task than runs multiple times in 1 day?

My example is that I turn Auto sync off when I get to work (at a set time), but I want it to turn on and off again every few hours. At the moment I have 12 different tasks set up - 6 to turn it on then 6 more delayed tasks to turn it off again.

Is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] doongoo:
It must be done via composite trigger, read/search back in this topic. If I am right, I've seen such a rule described somewhere
[Android Apps and Games] EDNYLaw:
Has anyone had the issue of rules not performing well when the screen is off on 4.2.1 (I'm currently on an AOKP variant, but I tested on other 4.2.1 ROMs)? I used this app on 4.1.2 and before with no issues but now when I have a rule that disconnects wifi and enables data and it triggers when the screen is off it messes up the settings and I have to reboot to be able to toggle wifi/data again. Same thing seems to happen with nfc task launcher. Screen on, rules work just fine, screen off, settings won't toggle correctly and require a reboot to unstick. Can anyone confirm?
[Android Apps and Games] decmk:
Actual pro version do not perform well with any of rules when screen is off, even when wake is on. I'm going back to older version. Report is sent to developer but no response 3 days.
[Android Apps and Games] EDNYLaw:
I've been going back and forth with the dev, he said they were looking into it. The rules worked perfect prior to 4.2.1 but now if the settings change they get stuck. Like when I get home I have a rule when the phone connects to my home cell tower it switches on wifi, turns off data and turns on sound. The phone will switch on wifi and turn off data but the bars are grayed out (can't connect to Google servers) and I can't toggle data back on without a reboot. We all know Google royally screwed up 4.2.1 and I think that these automation programs that worked on 4.1.2 and lower have to be rewritten to accommodate Google's screw ups.

I tried nfc task launcher and screen on, the tags worked perfect but screen off (AOKP allows for screen off nfc polling) the rule wouldn't trigger (though the sound indicating an nfc tag read sounds). Hopefully the devs can sort this out so I can go back to being lazy and have my phone think for itself.

Edit: I think I've identified the issue. 4.2.1 does not like apps toggling data on and off. So far, I've removed the data toggling from my rules and I'm not having issues anymore, same with nfc. I'm not sure if this is something that can be corrected at the application level or this would have to be done at the OS level.
[Android Apps and Games] CitizenX:
Hi,

i´m using this app since a few days and really like it, but coming from llama(had to switch because the last versions crash after some time) i´m missing the possibility to turn on my server with WOL, in llama did i use a locale plugin for that.

Is it possible to add this feature to your app?
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
This needs to support plug ins, especially Secure Settings, to get that functionality back.

Can't see any 'root' required options... on a rooted device

Good Afternoon all.

I like the AutomateIt app, and have specifically intended to use it to automatically turn off my Vlingo application and Verizon Hotspot application when my truck's bluetooth is diconnected.

I've installed the AutomateIt app on my Droid Razr Maxx (not "HD") on the Verizon network, running JB 4.1.2, System Version 98.72.8.XT912.Verizon.en.US. It has been rooted through the last two system updates using Voodoo OTA Root Keeper, and root has been repeatidly verifed via Root Checker Basic. I'm also running SuperUser v3.1.3 (46) with su binary v3.0.3.2 (15). Ok, there's the tech stuff...

The problem I'm having is that the "Kill App" (and I beleive any other "root require" option) is not a option abailble to me within the AutomateIt app. I've searched the app's website/blog and can't find any other mention of this other than saying that one needs root access to have these options availalbe. AutomateIt has NEVER asked for SuperUser permision, and it is not showing as ever asking within SuperUser (not listed on SuperUser's log or Application List). I've rebooted the phone, temporarily un-rooted (via Voodoo OTA), stopped the AutomateIt app, 're-rooted' via Voodoo, and activated AutomateIt again; no luck.

Does anyone have any ideas why the rooted options aren't available to me, and how solve this issue?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
If AutomateIt never requested root permissions, please try to uninstall it and install it again.

This should make it request for root permissions when you create a new rule.

In case that doesn't help, please send us an email using the "Help !" button on the About screen of the app.
[Android Apps and Games] JVogler:
When I've had this problem before, switching the program that governs root access solved the problem. I think I switched from Superuser to superSU. If all else fails try this.

I've never run into the issue you describe with SuperSU, whereas I have with other options.

-- Note II, TapaTalk II--
[Android Apps and Games] LockdownInc:
I just attempted the above as requested, with no luck. I've submitted the "help" request.

I didn't attempt to use the SuperSU application as the existing SuperUser I have works perfectly for all my other needs so far. Thanks for any help you can offer.
[Android Apps and Games] JVogler:
I understand not wanting to switch, maybe just give it a try? See if you can duplicate the issue.

-- Note II, TapaTalk II--
[Android Apps and Games] LockdownInc:
Gave it a try; AutomateIt did not ask for root access from SuperSU either. Thanks for the idea though!
[Android Apps and Games] marcedli:
try to create a rule with whatever trigger

let the action be: reboot

save it, then open details in My rules panel, and run the rule

it should ask for root access, if not, it will not be performed.
[Android Apps and Games] LockdownInc:
I've tried this with the options that are shown to me. It does not ask for root access. The functions that require root (GPS/KIll App) are not being offered to me.
[Android Apps and Games] slonn:
Yeah - definitely issues with the app. None of the rules work anymore and it doesn't ask for super user permission, even after installation.
[Android Apps and Games] roswell782:
Hi there! What is the easiest way to duplicate my rules on my others devices? Thanks for your answer and sorry if my question was already asked before.

Cheers, Ros.
[Android Apps and Games] m3nster:
I just bought the pro version, but i can't seem to find this option in Automateit. Anyone?

Edit: Found it :) Just putting the polling time to 30 minutes will do the job.

is anyone else finding that this app wont activate/deactivate airplane mode on 4.2.1? im running cm 10.1
[Android Apps and Games] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes, long time ago, when 4.2 was released, Google changed the api and does not let an app change it. The only workaround I have seen is to use Taker with the Secure Settings plugin. That is why I have been asking for support of plugins in AutomateIt Pro.

set screen orientation

I've made rules to unlock and lock auto orientation when Gallery is opened and closed respectively. Is there any way to set the orientation when auto orientation is locked? At the moment if I exit Gallery when the orientation is landscape it gets locked to landscape. Basically I want it to auto orientate when Gallery is open and lock to portrait when closed.

Any suggestions?
