Why do we have to constantly keep our Wifi connection on thoughout the day for Locational Smart actions to work properly? Why cant we have Location in Trigger and Wifi(on) in Actions since its also using our GPS location to location us and Wifi for more accurate location?
View 2 RepliesI have SmartActions set up to trigger when my location is home to turn on WiFi and turn off data. Similarly, I have a trigger when I connect to my Bluetooth in the car to turn off WiFi and turn on data.
The problem is when I am leaving the house but not going to the car. Is there a way I can determine that I am leaving my house or disconnected from my home Wifi so that I can turn WiFi off and data on?
When creating a Custom Trigger and selecting "Wi-Fi network" I find the following Actions greyed out: Does this mean you cannot select them or are they enabled by default? IF they are enabled by default, why can't you save the Custom Trigger without selecting an additional Action.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrading to ICS and being forced to do a FDR, I eventuallly realized my Smart Actions were no longer woking properly. I deleted them and was adding them back one by one. The ones that are not location-based work okay but I cannot actually get a location trigger to save. I press on Location, it shows me my one location I have set up right now, I select that one, press done to go back out to the smart action page, but the location value is not set. I tried clearing the cache, system and app, already but nothing changed.
I just realized I can set a location if I am not editing a sample action. Starting with a blank rule, it works but I still hae so save the action and then save the trigger.
I've just updated my Razr Maxx to ICS several days ago and ever since then the Location trigger I use for work is completely unreliable. It's constantly turning on and off all day long. I mainly use the smart action here to make sure my phone is automatically on vibrate throughout the day at work and I can't really rely on it at this point. Prior to updating to ICS it worked perfectly.I noticed you do not need to leave WIFI on anymore for location triggers to work, but at the same time I see wifi in my battery usage while wifi has toggled off. Is this new version manually turning on WIFI to determine location? I've tried leaving WIFI on and it doesn't seem to make a difference, it's still inconsistent.Also, I've already tried resetting Smart Actions to default and wiping out all smart actions and starting from scratch.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI love Smart Actions, when set-up correctly, it truly makes my smartphone, a smart phone. I do have a question though. Why is it that WiFi MUST be enabled to use location services, and is there anyway to use location services to turn off WiFi when I'm not in range of a usable network? I have WiFi at work and home, but when I'm not at work or home (driving for example) my phone is constantly searching for wifi. Considering that I'm on the road a lot and I go to school at night, that's a lot of time that my phone is both on 4G and Wifi, which almost defeats the purpose of a battery-saving app.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI love the idea of smart actions, but I constantly seem to have issues. I always have problems here and there with smart actions on the GB software, but I recently upgraded to ICS and I was hoping it would be improved. I see there is now an option to allow the phone to detect its location without needing wifi which is nice, but I still cant get it to work.
I have a "Work" smart action set up, but even right at this very moment I am at home and it thinks I am at work. I am even connected to my home wifi on the phone, still thinks I am at work. So I manually shut off the work smart action, and then re-enabled it. A second later it pops up that I am at work again. I open up the "Map" App and it shows me at home, why in the world would it think I am still at work.
I was googling around the interwebs to find out more recommendations for smart actions rule settings, and I noticed some references to a motion sensor trigger (for example, in the BGR review of the Droid Razr Maxx). I don't seem to have that trigger in the version of smart actions on my new Droid 4, though? Is that a hardware sensor limitation? Or do I need to change a setting somewhere to make that trigger come up in the list?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSince the .893 update has come out and the smart actions app from the RAZR was not in it. Does anyone think we will ever be getting this app in an OTA? This is one app that seems like it is useful.This would at least be a little bright spot in my rather abysmal Bionic "experience".
View 6 Replies View RelatedI saw that there was an update to Smart Actions yesterday in the Google Play Store. When I tried to apply the update, I received a message that there was an error downloading the update. I could not get this message to clear, so I tried uninstalling the previous updates and then re-applying the updates. Now, I get the message "Your order is pocessing, your item will be available in a few minutes." I have cleared cache and data for the play store and rebooted my Droid Razr several times, but I cannot cleare this message. Anyone else experiencing issues with applying the latest Smart Actions update?

View 4 Replies View RelatedBeen trying to set up some rules based on recomendations from this vid url...where they suggest using the Smart Action trigger for "Motion Detector" to save battery, and which looks pretty useful!However, I have a UK version of the RAZR and the Motion Detector feature does not seem to be enabled! Why is that? Is there a way of enabling it? Whilst I am on this topic I was also wondering if there is a way to restore the Smart Action Samples, as I managed to delete a couple of them accidentally.
View 4 Replies View RelatedFirst let me start by saying I had the RAZR and I used Smart Actions quite a bit to control certain functions. I then got the MAXX because well I wanted it.. and its massive battery. So, I updated to 6.12.173 and went to set up a smart actions and found that I could not find the Incoming Call Trigger.Now I had this bult on the orginal RAZR already, and I had updated the phone so I went back and it is mssing from their as well.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to ICS recently on my Verizon Droid Bionic & am trying to figure out Smart Actions. I want to set an action based on my home location, but I can't complete the setup because SA can't find my address, even though it can find my position exactly. If I try to attach my home location by selecting "Current Location," then the map is displayed with a correct "Your position" marker, but the "Finding address" process never succeeds. If I try to attach my home location by selecting "Search," the process also fails. However, in the separate Maps app, my address can be found.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe problem is with the location identification (name). The address resolution can fall to a Range of addresses and blocks out the ability to use it im 1/2 mile increments at our work location. My phone appears to be accurate on gmaps to within 20 feet of my actual location. When I go to add the additional locations they all try to use the same app provided name. they are anywhere fromm 300 yards to one mile apart. Why can't it use a user defined name to stop the conflict? I have business uses for this if it is possilble. Like security guard tracking. The application finds the locations using GPS coordinates in place of addresses correctly but then converts to a street address thats not correct for a name...
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe location setting in smart actions doesn't seem to work when the display is off.I have set the phone to turn off bluetooth when I am at home or work. If the display is on, it works fine, but if the display is off, the smart action is not triggered. The smart action doesn't start or end if the display is off, it just stays in the mode it was in when the display was last on.I had a smart action that turned off a few things when the display is off, but I disabled that smart action and I still had the issue of the location based smart actions not triggering.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI use SA to turn off my Ringer Volume, Cellular data and start VIP caller mode. The triggers are Timeframe and Wi-Fi connection. I use two different ones, Sound Weekend and Sound Weekdays. Both have different time triggers but the same Wi-Fi connection. They do turn off correctly but here is the issue, they do not return the Ringer Volume back on. I had both the time triggers on one SA then when this happened separated them as above. I did not have this issue until ICS was installed.
View 15 Replies View RelatedThis is somewhat counterproductive if a person wants to set smartactions based on location, unless we want to leave Wifi permanently enabled. Is there a workaround? I have several location-based smartactions set up, but they fail if I dont leave wifi on, which I don't want to do.

View 15 Replies View RelatedI believe the switch that detects when the phone is opened / closed is barely working. I have opened the phone up and cleaned it, but the problem still persists. I like the V600 because it is quad, unlocked (im out of contract with t-moile) so I can swap sims and use it when overseas. I could renew the contract and get a free phone but I couldn't find any free flip phones that have quad on t-mobiles upgrade page.Suggestions on what to do? Replace internal parts or bite the bullet and pay for a new phone?
