Since I couldn't figure out how AM would handle a flow being stopped in the middle of a file transfer, and therefore couldn't get the file observer trigger to work in a predictable way, I abandoned that approach and changed tactics. I ended up triggering when leaving the camera app, turning off the ...

Some more info for this. I made another flow to run when Android opens a window that an app isn't responding, to automatically click "Send feedback" then "SEND" and that works perfectly. So for that one, the "contains text" works as expected, and it works as "window opened" and not "window open," un...

I also have a WiFi switch...in the car How does that work? Do you mean a WiFi car charger? Does it use WiFi direct? Also, I checked WiFi plugs, but they're almost all cheap junk from random Chinese companies. The only semi-reputable ones are saw are from TP-Link, but those ones are pretty large. An...

As I said, I've read it elsewhere as well. Here's another quote from that page: The largest capacity loss occurs when discharging a fully charged Li-ion to 25 percent SoC (black); the loss would be higher if fully discharged. Of course, it's unclear whether they mean more (linear) loss just because ...

I don't remember where exactly I've seen it, and most likely it was in multiple places, but here's a good overall source and a good summary: https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries From that page: the depth of discharge (DoD) determines the cycle count of t...

Yes, heat is bad, but over/undercharging is also very bad. You'll get a lot more life out of a battery doing more frequent charges from e.g. 25-50% than from 25-100% or worse 5-100%. Batteries are rated for how many cycles they can undergo, e.g. 1,000 cycles would be 0-100% 1,000 times, or 25-75% 2,...

Thanks. That does work, which shows it is possible for AM to operate that way, so the Display (Off) trigger should as well. That is, it should use the broadcast for its trigger instead of the power button press.

Might be obvious, but I'll say it just in case: make sure you're backing up the SD card, too. Cards fail (I've had two fail in the past year, both at least a few years old, but still) and phones get lost/stolen. I recommend using SMBSync2 to do regular backups to your computer, which you can automat...

AFAIK, charging can't be manipulated in any way without root, since it requires access to CPU functions (the CPU is what regulates the charging). Wibbly's idea is quite creative, and probably your best bet if you want to actually charge it overnight. Keep in mind that, more than likely, it's the top...

A few times now, I've had a flow run and leave a debug dialog red (executing), even after the dialog is closed. When this happens, stopping the flow doesn't work, nor does disabling and enabling it. The only thing I've found that fixes it is stopping and restarting the AM service via the main menu. ...
