Re: Allow Wifi detection to not require location

Hi, Tasker and Automate target an old Android version and don't support runtime permissions yet. Google added this new limitation for apps that support runtime permissions if I remember right. Tasker and Automate will suffer from the same artificial limitation when they support runtime permissions....

Allow Wifi detection to not require location

I've noticed that the wifi SSID Scanning trigger/action in Automagic require location to be enabled on my Android 7 phone. Without location, the SSID list will be empty. I've tested two other automation apps, Automate and Tasker, and found that they do not require location to be enabled and they wil...

Re: Cell Tower Location doesn't work well

I'm glad that I could help. Yes I understand that CDMA is primarily used in the United States and i understand why you wouldn't be able to test it. Unfortunately, the carrier with the best availability in the U.S. (Verizon) still uses CDMA, so it will still be around for a long time. I will wait for...

Re: Cell Tower Location doesn't work well

Hi, Likely the device does not inform other apps when the cells change and the screen is off. Unfortunately this is the case on most modern devices. Turning the screen on temporarily usually works on such devices but drains the battery quite fast. You could try to see if periodically checking condi...

Cell Tower Location doesn't work well

I really like Automagic but I was wondering if it would be possible to improve cell tower detection in future updates? Compared to Tasker and Automate for instance, the cell tower triggering is not as good. First I'll mention Tasker. Tasker has workaround options just like Automagic does, since newe...
