Can anyone tell me how the backup feature works. I had to hard reset my phone recently and theoretically my settings were backed up in the past. I just don't know where they would have been stored or under what file name. I have an external SD card in my phone, so I'm assuming it's there but can't find anything. Is there a specific type of file? file name? location?
Your settings are not backed up unless you "export data" from the main menu. If you did, you should have "Llama" directory in the root of your internal SD card (should be "sdcard" by default). After reinstalling llama, you would "import data" from the main menu.
Hello there!
I am currently using a Moto G (no root, no custom ROM). Llama has learned my home.
I want to create an event that when at home, turns WiFi ON, turns Sync ON, updates mails, facebook messages etc, turns WiFi OFF, turns Sync OFF, repeating every 30 minutes.
I created an event that does exactly what I want when I run its actions to test it. However, when i leave the event alone to do what it is scheduled to do, it does nothing at all.
Any ideas about what goes wrong?
Your event disabled? If not, check the "recent" tab to see if you are really "at home" the entire time you think you are. Your event repeat itself every 30 minutes, so if you go out of your "home" area (by cell tower switching for example) and then come back in while your event is waiting for the next turn, your event would be triggered again. This will give you a Llama-error "Failed to trigger. Event named <your event> already exists." This will result in some unexpected behaviors. Actually, if you don't have an event to cancel the actions of your repeating event when you go out of your "home" area, what's described above inevitably happens every time you go in and out of your home area.
I tried that on S4 with KitKat but it does not work. I got a message that toggling of GPS is protected to avoid apps from spying on your position.
For security reason, you need to give an app a root privilege to toggle GPS without your explicit consent. No way around it. Except, maybe, some custom roms, such as cyanogenmod.
How do you more effectively diagnose conflicts?
I've events which aren't firing. As such the actions aren't being used but I'm not sure which. Anyone have any tips on how best to fix your profiles?
There is no best/correct way to do it. If your events are not firing, ALL of their actions are not used, not just some of them.
Check your events are enabled.
Check event history ("clock' button in "event" tab) to see whether your events did or didn't fire.
If your events didn't fire, think again your conditions. In the event tab conditions appear green when they are met, red when they aren't. Are all your conditions green? If not, think why they aren't. If they are all green, remember events fire only once when all conditions are met (unless you set it up to repeat). So, if conditions are always green (never turn red), your events fire once then stay silent forever.
Events fired but you don't see the actions you want happening? There are multitude of possible reasons your hardware and software fail to perform desired tasks. Doubt that anyone can diagnose the cause of the problem without even knowing what was supposed to happen.
