Automagic Forum

Hy,

would like to report a bug. I can not enable or disable gps state. The device admin and rooted functions are enabled. Considering that arhd is a 99% stock rom it probably doesn't work on original roms either

Hi,

Most probably the little root helper app did not handle the action Set GPS State properly. Sometimes it helps to enable root in the preferences of Automagic, uninstall Automagic and reinstall Automagic.
Note that it will not work with modified APKs of Automagic (security products modifying the APK, tools rebuilding the APK to remove permissions and so on).

Please enable Debug log in the preferences of Automagic, disable Root support, wait some seconds, enable Root support, execute an action Set GPS State and send the log to info@automagic4andoird.com (on the flow list: menu->Manage->Log, menu->Send Log)


You can also try and see if the non-root workaround to switch GPS works on your device:
-disable root in the preferences of Automagic
-execute action Set GPS State: on/off. Ignore the root required hint in the action, it will try to use a method that works due to a bug in Android and it seems to work on a HTC One X (stock 4.1.1).

You can also execute the workaround manually with action Send Broadcast:
Action:
Category List: android.intent.category.ALTERNATIVE
Data URI: 3
Explizit Component: checked
Package Name: com.android.settings
Class Name: com.android.settings.widget.SettingsAppWidgetProvider
