Toggle 2g to 3g on Google search

Post by varunchitalia » 29 Mar 2014 09:35

I usually keep data connection on 2g mode and selectively switch to 3g when surfing or wanna download something.

Sometimes I experience lag when using Google search on 2g.

There I am trying to create a flow to switch to 3g when I start using Google search.

Any help/ suggestion is appreciated.

Wonderful app. Keep up the efforts. Much easier to use than tasker.

Unfortunately it's very hard/impossible to toggle 2G/3G on a stock Android version so there's no action for this. For modified Android versions (cyanogenmod) you can use action Set Mobile Network Mode (2G/3G) to do this.
A flow could look like this:
-trigger App Task Started: xyz
-action Set Mobile Network Mode (2G/3G): 3G

-trigger App Task Ended: xyz
-action Set Mobile Network Mode (2G/3G): 2G

I'm not sure if Google search/now can be captured with the App Task Started/Ended triggers since it uses an overlay on some devices which can not be recognized with the mentioned triggers.
