Automagic keeps restarting

[ZSasha]

Hello,

after I've upgraded my phone from SGS1 to SGS3 I noticed (a few times) a situation when automagic was kept restarting.

It looked like automagic icons were popping in and goes away and when I opened notification area I saw automagic comes and goes.
At the same time "application manager" was showing "Restarting..." in regards to automagic.

Looked like the system killed the process (may be to free up some RAM) and was trying to restart the process or the process was trying to restart itself but could not.
(I did not use any taskkillers at that time and I have completely stock non-rooted phone)

I manually opened the automagic, pressed "Stop service" and "Start" and it helped.

Is the any way of making automagic process "privileged" to decrease probability of being killed by the system (I know some apps have such option) ?
I am happy to send logs but it happens only occasionally and my log file is usually overflowed with a lot of messages coming from a number of working flows rather then from automagic itself.

Any ideas?

Hi,

This usually happens when the operating system is running low on resources and closes some apps to gain memory.

There are two ways to ensure that Automagic has a high priority:

• ensure that the option Show status icon is checked in the preferences of Automagic (should be the default)
• enable the accessibility service of Automagic: open Accessibility in the system preferences of your device and turn on Automagic Premium

Regards,
Martin

Hi Martin,

I followed your advice but it appears that this problem still exist.
Mainly it happens after memory cleanup (even using standard android method like cleaning the list of the recent apps). Automagic process then being stuck in "restaring..." state and the icon comes and goes constantly.

Looks like a bug or something.
I am happy to provide any logs if you can tell me how to collect them.

Hi,

Are you using some kind of task killers? I have not yet seen this behavior on an S3. Are you using a custom ROM?
Please enable 'Debug Log', 'Log to SD card' and send the log stored on external memory/sdcard to me when such restarts occur again. You can find the log in <sdcard>/Automagic/log.txt. Please send the log by mail to info@automagic4android.com.
