Hi,

Please restart the device to ensure that nothing within the flow is executing and potentially consuming battery.
Could you please send the flow to me and also the log so I can check what might be going on. To do this, use menu->Log, menu->Send log.
In case this happens again, could you please open the flow and check which action or condition is highlighted in red (and of course also send the log to me).

Thanks & Regards,
Martin

@Rafi4 : open the flow and see where the element stopped (red). At times it can stopped at some action which use network (such as http request) or media related (sound or speech output). In those cases, usually stopping-restarting Automagic services is enough to stop the rogue flow.

But if it stop at dialog box (input dialog, message dialog, confirmation dialog, debug dialog), then it maybe happens because you switch to other app while the dialog is open. (press recents) To switch back to the dialog, you have to execute another dialog to reopen the dialog box again. You can manually execute that red element (open the element > 3 dot menu > Execute) or you can execute any other flow that have dialog box element. This will trigger the dialog box and continue the flow after you close/choose at the dialog box.

Hello

I find that sometimes a flow just hangs for no apparent reason. I use STOP SERVICE in Automagic's main menu rather than restarting the phone.

Hope this helps.

Crude but it works.
