Smart Actions and turning wi-fi on based on location
How have your results been getting the wi-fi to automatically turn on based on your arrival at specified locations? I've been trying to have it automatically turn wi-fi on when I'm at work and when I'm at home, but the results have been spotty. Seems to work sometimes, and sometimes not. Has anyone gotten this to work reliably? I'm still trying to decide whether Smart Actions is worth using.

Re: Smart Actions and turning wi-fi on based on location
Hmm, I have those two checked, and also Standalone GPS services and VZW location services checked (I don't know whether having them all checked is good or bad or what). I'm wondering whether it's having problems because I take the subway to and from work, which confuses it because I have no signal while I'm traveling?
When I open up Google maps it puts me in the right spot on the map with no problem, so the GPS is working.
Under wi-fi settings I don't have "auto-connect wi-fi" checked, and I assume I don't have to or else it would be automatically turning on when I don't want it to, right? - 11-13-2012, 06:34 AM #4

Re: Smart Actions and turning wi-fi on based on location
My company has two buildings across the street from each other. My location based Smart Action worked for my primary building. Sometimes it worked if I was across the street and sometimes it didn't. I wouldn't expect it to be so precise; I figured it work at both locations.
I bought a pack of Samsung Tec Tiles for $20 with shipping a couple weeks ago. I've been using those instead. They are even more customizable than the Smart Actions and work 100% of the time. I'd recommend looking into Tec Tiles. - 12-09-2012, 10:45 AM #6
