Love the idea, but can't really use the application. I use a Motorola Defy. Tried it for 2 days and every morning when I leave home, it just keeps the same cell in the Recent tab. It's been 2+ hours now since I left home, drove to work for about 5 miles in the city and it's still the same cell, the application thinks I'm still home.

Recent tab shows latest update: 7:12:00 - Cell: xxx:xxx:x and now it's 9:46

And it seems stuck ... opened the phone several times to check it, no updates.

Yesterday, the same thing happened but I asked it to learn the Work location and then it started to pick up 5 different cells at work plus the one I was stuck on. I removed the one that was stuck from Work location and it seemed to work well until this morning.

Does anyone have any idea on how I could fix this?

Later edit:

Activated Cell Polling Mode, to 1 minute, awake while polling, screen on while polling, cell polling active time 1000 milliseconds. No improvement

Recent tab still shows latest update: 7:12:00 - Cell: xxx:xxx:x

Even later edit:

Turned Flight mode on then off and it started updating the cells ... don't want to do that every day :)
[Android Apps and Games] rkillera:
Figured out what happens using the Antennas app ( only works for 2G )

Looks like my work place is not far enough from my home, sometimes the phone stays connected to cells that are near my home even if I drive away several miles. Only if I get a call or put it to flight mode and back, it will switch to a cell that is closer.
[Android Apps and Games] e2zippo:
Been using this for quite some time now and I love it!

Although now I'm having some problems..

Wifi won't enable even though I've specified it in the "event", but if I run the "event" manually it triggers it.

It worked before, what could be causing this?
[Android Apps and Games] glenar19:
When you "run event actions" or "test actions", all you doing is running the actions, not triggering the event that is supposed to cause the actions to execute.
[Android Apps and Games] e2zippo:
True, but could anyone tell me is there's anything wrong with this setup?

The strange thing is that it worked before.

I'd try changing the at home between 7:00 to at home between 7:01. This will enable it not to conflict with The at home between 23:00 and 7:00 event. I don't know if this will work or not but I would at least try it. Good luck.
[Android Apps and Games] tygger:
It's been working great for my Evo 3d, but it's not working correctly for my ET4G.

Are there any known issues with it on the ET4G? The problem on the ET4G appears to be reading fake (or too many towers) and it doesn't update as I move from location to location even though I have it set to refresh every 5 mins.
[Android Apps and Games] jsgraphicart:
I just came across this app yesterday. Coming from webOS, this reminds me a lot of the app "Mode Switcher" which was one of the more useful apps on webOS. This app is awesome. Now I dont have to worry about turning my wifi on and off when I get home or leave home. I dont have to worry about turning my ringer off at work. Ive only started with the possibilities with this app though. Thanks a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] mstevens:
Lama has been working great for me on my Nexus S 4G, except that it constantly tells me it couldn't do something (turn on or off WiFi or Bluetooth, for the most part) that it has actually done.

It doesn't appear to do anything at all on my wife's Motorola Photon - without giving any error messages it'll fail to, for example, turn on WiFi when at home or turn on Bluetooth when leaving the house.
[Android Apps and Games] gregaste:
Sorry if the answer is in the 23 pages, I just can't read 23 pages of English at this hour of the day ! :p

I just recommended Llama there :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20105274&posted=1#post20105274

and now I feel stupid because I've never post some requests here...

so :

-- I've just seen that the conditions are "AND" as I knew it.. but is there a way to add some "OR" conditions, by pairing two conditions or something like this ?

Is it planned ?

for now, I have to make as many "clones rules" as I would have OR needed right ?

as usual : sorry for my bad English if it's painful to you.

-- Is the condition "I'm on the phone" could be implemented ?

actually the needed one would be "IF I'm NOT on the phone" (active plane mode, or.. anything else)
[Android Apps and Games] adderek:
Great app - plenty of things to add though

Hi,

The app is awesome. Now some critics:

- The price of donation in my country is quite high... I guess that it depends on where you live in.

- Minor bugs are present (never ending story, right? ;) ). Example: From time to time the app triggers my "enter home" and "leave home" events although it is still in the same cell. Application restart is usually enough to solve this.

- There is no "temporary disable event actions" option. You can lock the profile but sometime I'd like to "run event actions" and keep it that way until my area/cell is changed. Or even freeze it at current settings.

- Cell state logging. Would be nice to look when I got to my work, when I left it, how much time I was traveling, etc. Possibly a battery drainer.

- Some documentation how to use the app would be a nice thing. Especially the complex tools like interactions with other apps.

- Translation? Community based language translations obviously :)

- Some advertisement would be nice... The app is superb and you just need to show it to the mass!

Thanks for a great app!

I too have erroneous triggers for entering and leaving home, but I was under the belief that this was a bug in Android or at least the Cm7 mod I have installed on my Lg . Google wifi dropping for android and see what you get. I hope I'm wrong so the dev would have a chance to fix it. It's a bummer for what I want to do.

How in the world do I get my bluetooth to turn off after car charger is unplugged? I'd appreciate hearing from anyone that can help.
[Android Apps and Games] mariom:
Good post. I only use Bluetooth in my car, but I use wifi at work and home. I have it set up to fire up Bluetooth for a few minutes when disconnected from either wifi network and turn off again if it doesn't connect to 'Sony automotive'. It will do the same whenever I plug it into charge as I don't use a proper car dock. I don't let it turn off on disconnect though as my stereo sometimes disconnects for a few seconds.
[Android Apps and Games] mstevens:
The great thing about Llama is that there are many different ways to accomplish something. This allows for the many different situations and setups we all have.
[Android Apps and Games] mariom:
Totally agreed. It's awesome, once you get your head round the difference between being somewhere and not being somewhere :)

It would be great if people can share some of their profiles
[Android Apps and Games] finneginsfast:
I love Llama but it is chowing on my battery life something fierce. Today for instance I've barely used my phone at all and llama has consumed 22% of the battery, highest on the list for usage. Display is next at 20%...

I only have four profiles but haven't really noticed that kind of consumption before, anyone else having this problem? Or better yet, anyone have any idea why this may be happening or does this sound normal?

Cheers and happy holidays to all!
[Android Apps and Games] mstevens:
It barely registers at all for battery usage on my phone.

Are you sure you don't have it waking to check WiFi or Bluetooth? That will eat battery like nobody's business.
[Android Apps and Games] gregaste:
What a freaking Christmas gift!

OR OPERATOR, in-call condition..and so on...

Now a question to the community :

Do you think Llama could do the usual Llama stuffs, AND be a total alternative app for juice defender or similar apps?

I'm using free version of JD, so it's not a money issue, but a RAM and BATTERY question...

But may be it only appears to be a good idea...?

as always, sorry for my English if it's painful!
[Android Apps and Games] finneginsfast:
Does anyone know why the list of apps is different under actions for "run application" and "kill application"?

I'd like to have an action to start Radardroid Pro Widget for instance but it's not on the list as an application to start. However if I look under the list of "kill applications" it's there. Why wouldn't those lists be the same...doesn't make sense to me that they shouldn't match.
[Android Apps and Games] mstevens:
I wouldn't think a widget is a runnable application. At least, I've never found a launcher that can simply run one as an app. A widget has to be placed on a screen somewhere in order to work. What if all the screen space on all your pages is full? If there is space, how would Llama know where to put the widget on-screen?

Once a widget is placed and running, it can be force-closed like any other app.

I could be totally off-base, but that's my take on why the lists are different.

"Unknown profile" status in notification bar

Hello everyone,

I installed and configured Llama for the first time today, and ran into what looks like some sort of configuration issue. At first Llama was able to determine my Area, set a Profile, and notify accordingly in the window shade, however, something has since gone wrong.

Now the status message in the notification bar (in the window shade) remains "Llama - Unknown Profile" with a grayed out Llama icon and a grey exclamation point inside a grey triangle. Underneath it still says "Home", seemingly indicating that it recognized the Area. Also, the Event History shows that it triggered the right profile, so I'm really confused by the "Uknown profile" message.

E.g.:

"date/time stamp - Normal at home

Triggered by Enter/In Area condition

date/time stamp - Left home

Triggered by Enter/In Area condition

date/time stamp - Normal at home

Triggered by Enter/In Area condition"

Anyone have any ideas what this "Unknown profile" business is about?

Apologies if this has come up previously, but I have searched the thread as well as kebabapps.blogspot.com for the keywords "Uknown profile", and didn't find any matches.

Best,

George
[Android Apps and Games] georgech:
Never mind. Crisis averted. On a hunch I backed up my settings (Import/Export Data, Export to SD Card), then uninstalled Llama, re-installed latest version, and re-imported the settings (Import/Export Data, Import from SD Card). Seems to have worked like a charm.

P.S. I know it's bad form to reply to oneself, but I figured I would 1) not waste anyone's time who might be kind enough to suggest solutions, 2) post a work-around that did the trick for me, in case someone else runs into the same or similar issue.
[Android Apps and Games] panamamike:
Can someone tell me where the location data is stored? Is this data private on the phone or is it being sent somewhere?

I like the idea of the app., but I don't know that I want a system out there knowing my hourly whereabouts.

[Android Apps and Games] mstevens:
I don't know where on the phone it's stored, but it's not being sent anywhere. Llama works perfectly well without any data connection.
[Android Apps and Games] panamamike:
That's good to know, thanks for the info. It would be nice to get confirmation from the developer. I don't mean to be paranoid, but even if it works offline, it doesn't mean it can't upload data when it does connect...

[Android Apps and Games] jasonsf:
I had an interesting issue recently when rebooting after a crash or a new rom flash. Llama appeared to be processing its log of historical events sequentially. I noticed this because my llama icon would keep flashing different colors. I opened op the app and looked at the events history and saw events from last year with new ones popping up at the top. It was as if llama was reloading the log files and acting on each event as it loaded it.

[Android Apps and Games] li442il:
Is there a way to do actions on profile change?

Ex: When I choose Quiet Profile, switch airplane mode on.

When I go to sleep or I do a nap, (anytime of the day not always at location "home") it would put my phone in airplane mode to save battery when I don't need it.

[Q] how to configure following profile

Is it possible to configure following using liama? Every day at certain time run app "GPS status" to download the AGPS data and kill it after 1 min. I tried to configure it: run at 9:00 am if wifi network connected, action: queue another event, after 1 minute kill this app (without root). But after unlocking phone, the app was still active on screen.

I found following tasker profile on web:

Profile “GPS Prime”

Context: Time

From: 03:00 (or whatever time you want it to run)

Repeat: (don’t check)

To: 03:00

Task “A-GPS”

Misc > GPS: On

App > Load App: GPS Status

Tasker > Wait: 1 Minute (will probably work with a shorter time

also)

App > Goto Home

Misc > GPS: Off

has anyone got minimalistic text to work with this? I can't get minimalistic text to see the Llama location variable...
[Android Apps and Games] Rintenfinten:
Hi!

One of the best Apps I came upon so far. I use it for half a year now und also donated already!

One thing I cound not solve so far: At calender event "meeting" Llama sets my phone from sound profile "x" to sound profile "no sound". "x" is one of my 5 location based sound profiles. But after the "meeting" it does not revert back to sound profile "x" (the previous one) so that the phone is in loudless mode until some other trigger changes this to one of the "x" profiles...

Or in other words: Is it somehow possible to tell Llama to stay in mode "no sound" during "meeting" no matter of other triggers during "meeting" and then revert back to the provious profile when the calendar event "meeting" is over?

For example: Calendar "meeting" is from 10 to 12. Then Llama should:

at 10 o'clock: save old profile an switch to new profile "no sound"

from 10 to 12 o'clock: keep up profile "no sound" no matter what (e.g. if a location trigger wants to change this)

at 12 o'clock: switch back to the at 10 o'clock saved profile and make other profiles/triggers possible again

Thanks in advance! And sorry for my bad english. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] mstevens:
I use a "Default" Event that applies when no other conditions do. It sets my volume, radios, etc. to my "usual" settings. That takes care of reverting back after a meeting. This doesn't save whatever settings are in effect, but I think it's easy enough to figure out how you usually want things outside of meetings or whatever. On my phone, Llama does do a good job of switching between Events, so you may want to use the Coloured Event List setting to help find anything you have set up so it's interfering with your goals.

I also set up any Events that I want to be absolute with "not" settings: not at work, not between certain times, not during calendar events with "meeting" in the subject, etc. This effectively prevents one Event from overriding another that I think is more important. For example, I have my "Silent During Meetings" Event set up so that it only applies when I'm actually at work. That way when I'm on not at the office but there's a meeting my phone doesn't mute.

Finally, if you just want to ensure your phone doesn't go off during a meeting that doesn't trigger a profile (that impromptu one called by the boss), do Activate and Lock on a profile and pick a duration.
[Android Apps and Games] Rintenfinten:
Thanks for your answer. I will use the profile lock for the moment.

I think the "Not" triggers would also do the job for me. However, this would force me to update an rework all my rules which would be hours that I haven't at the moment.

The best solution for me however would be if I could set up a rule which sets up a certain profile during meeting time

and

lock that profile exactly during that meeting time. Do you think that this could be implemented into Llama anytime?
[Android Apps and Games] glenar19:
Set up a second calendar event set it to "event finished" use the same key word "meeting" make the action change your profile back to "loud" and you should be good to go. Worked fine on my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] Rintenfinten:
Good idea and thanks for it, but in my eyes it is also only a workaround.

Would be nicer if a profile could be blocked during "meeting". You only need one calendar entry and Llama normally switches back automatically to the previous profile.
[Android Apps and Games] catpaws:
Can you explain more about how you set up the default profile? What conditions did you use?

Seems like this would save the trouble of always setting everything up in pairs.
[Android Apps and Games] glenar19:
You only need to set up one pair of calendar "events". One for the start of the meeting and one for the end of the meeting. They will work off your calendar entries. One meeting entry in your calendar contains the start and end time that the two "events" will use. Can't get any easier than that. You do know that when setting up the calendar event that if you tap on "event start" you will be given the option for "event finished"?
[Android Apps and Games] nmdevel:
Hi,

I would like to draw your attention to an app I developed that makes use of Llama's "Android intent" action. The app generates calendar entries for e.g. Llama locations (as the app name suggests ;) ).

"Llama locations 2 calendar"-Thread

Love love this app! I wonder if you could add something that allows me to sync my llama events and profiles online for my backup and sharing (if I allow).

It would be cool if people can share their creativity in event creations.

Direct Dial?

I too am having problems getting that function to work.

I just bought the Samsung Galxay sII Skyrocket (AT&T) and found Llama in the app store and love it (so far). I've successfully created and modified profiles and gotten the events to recognize area changes and bluetooth connects and disconnects.

The one big issue I have is that I can't get Llama to direct dial without getting an error (Llama-INFO: Failed to start shortcut Forward-Off). All other actions work within the event, like, Speak and running an app.

I created a contact called Forward-Off that turns off call forwarding and created a shortcut (that works) on my home page. I then go into Llama and under event (Car Disconnect) I set a condition to check for a bluetooth disconnect. I then add the action to turn off call forwarding (Run app shortcut>Direct dial>Forward-Off), change the profile to Loud (and cuurently Speak "Remember to check call forwarding"). I manually forward calls to my OnStar phone before driving but need to turn off call forwarding if I get to my destination and have to wait in the car (engine off) for any length of time.

If I could get the direct dial stuff to work my wife and daughter won't be so mad at me while I sit obliviously in the car while all their calls are forwarded to the wrong phone.
[Android Apps and Games] jazzboyrules:
Can you please add an action to launch in background? I would like to launch an app for automatically logging in to my work WiFi every time that WiFi is detected.

The app just needs to run and then close, it doesn't need any input from me. So there's no need for me to launch it on foreground.

Hi,

I was using this app on GB and it was working more than well. Pefect app... But since I got OTA with ICS 4.0.3 on my Nexus S it stopped working. Is the problem on my side or is there any update for ICS coming up?

Tried to search this thread for it but haven't found anything so I am sorry if you have already replied to such question...
[Android Apps and Games] vivaeltopo:
The latest market release has some ICS fixes. This version works fine for me, no crashes/problems so far.
[Android Apps and Games] wyextay:
Feature request

I've been using the app for 3 days now. Would like to thank the developer for having such a customizable app available for free on the Market. Good Job!

I've some suggestions for features. Hope the dev can consider them.

First, is to add exit actions. These are the actions that will be carried out on exiting the conditions for the event. It'll be very useful in situations where there is only 1 trigger condition. For example, if an event is activated purely by time between say 12-2pm, with an action to switch a profile to Silent, an exit action can be added to switch the profile to Normal at the end of the event at 2pm. This way, users will not need to create events like this in pairs. Exit actions should be optional though.

A potential limitation for this is that the exit action must be clearly defined. So for example, we still won't be able to have the app automatically switch to the previous profile before the event was activated. Instead, we have to clearly define the profile as Normal. So it won't work very well if your profile was perhaps Quiet previously, but I guess we can work around that.

Another problem might be that exit tasks may conflict with the tasks triggered by another event. For example, if an event is triggered by charger being connected, and contains an exit action, the exit task will conflict with the actions triggered by an event triggered by being on battery. Then again it's really up to the user to regulate conflicts like this. That's also the reason I suggested that exit actions be optional. Exit actions can also be complicating in events with multiple conditions.

Another benefit of this is that exit actions can used to replace default action workarounds that we've been adapted to using. And they'll be much easier to manage.

The 2nd feature I'd like to have is NOT conditions. I understand that NOT conditions are kinda included in conditions, but they may not have the same effect. For example, I'd like my Wifi to turn-off whenever my connection to any network be lost. However, I'd like the action to be delayed for, say, 5 mins so that in the event that my phone reconnects to the Wifi spot, the event becomes invalidated, and my Wifi stays on. However, if I set the condition as Wifi disconnected from any network, with delayed actions, the event is not invalidated when my phone connects to the same network, since being reconnected doesn't mean it wasn't disconnected, so the event is still active. A way for this to work is to set my condition as NOT connected to any Wifi network, with delayed actions.

And lastly, and I hope this is the easiest to implement, is better management of event groups. For example, renaming the whole group, instead of having to go to all the events and switching their groups individually. Another request is to be able to disable/enable all the events in the whole group, instead of going through them one-by-one.

I hope at least the last feature be implemented in the future. Thank you dev, and keep up the good work!
