No network trigger at a dark display

Post by Myrddin » 02 Feb 2013 12:01

HTC Desire Z - Android 2.3.3

I have the problem the network trigger do not works with a disabled/dark display.

The trigger "GSM Cell Phone" is not constantly or regulary checked but only at the turn on of the display.

Is aware of the problem? Can I do something about it? Do I need different approach?

Thanks for the help
Michael

It is a known issue that some devices don't report the current phone cell to applications when the screen is turned off.
You can try the following workarounds:
1) periodically turn the display on with action Turn Screen On: Bright
2) build a second flow consisting only of a trigger Location and then enable this flow every few minutes for ~3 seconds and disable the flow again.

It would be interesting to know if workaround 2 works on your device.

Regards,
Martin
