In fact it's the same problem if I try to insert a 'send email' action. It applies to a new action (send SMS or send email) or if I attempt to edit an existing one. Thanks for your suggestion. I will fiddle with it some more and then maybe send to to the developer when I have tried everything...

I wonder if anyone else has hit this problem: I have a long macro that takes an incoming SMS, edits it, and then forwards it to my other phone. Today I suddenly find that I cannot 'configure' the existing 'send SMS' action: MD just stops. I can't insert a new 'send SMS': the same thing...

MD was able to speak again after I installed ESpeak, but is used a very deep robotic voice. It seemed to ignore the settings that I set on the voice. So, I installed Vocaliser (from the play store, buying the voice 'Kate'). Initially MD did not seem to recognise the new default speech engine...

Thank you Jacob, I don't fully understand what you are suggesting. I don't actually use google TTS, so I'm not looking for a replacement. But somehow google TTS messes with macrodroid's TTS abilities. or do you mean that if I install ESpeak then MD will no longer be affected by google TTS...

More news: TTS stopped working again in macrodroid this morning. This time I went straight to google play and uninstalled/installed "Speech services by google Google LLC". Macrodroid then worked fine again. While I was in google play I read the recent reviews of "Speech services by google...

I fixed it!!! I went to google play and found "Speech services by google Google LLC" and pressed "uninstall". Then I installed again. Now it works.

changing the macrodroid setting of "spoken text audio stream" does not help. Nor does "Language to speak" i tried US english and then UK. Both are "fully supported" but don't work. I guess the next thing to try is a factory reset. I can't do that this week because the phone is needed.

incidentally, google maps can still speak (english now)

I just uninstalled MD and then reinstalled it. (I backed up all the macros first). Speak Text still does not work. But I have discovered something: even in the phone settings "text to speech output" I get silence when I press "listen to an example". This suggests it is a phone problem, not...

I have this problem also. I have many macros that speak text and all of them have abruptly stopped speaking. The 'play sound' action still works. On another phone, which has not updated for a while, it still works. The system log says "accessibility serivce must be enabled to access the...

i have a related problem: speak text has stopped working. the system log says i need to enable accessibility, but that seems to be all on. moto e4, android 7.1.1

off-topic: Ah, but I changed to Vodafone for a specific reason. I often 'work at home' from a boat in the remote fens of eastern England and I need to do video-conferencing. Vodafone has good signal there, but EE does not.

Thank you for posting this. The programming is a bit heavy for me, but maybe I should get more into shell scripts.

Maybe it's unrelated, but yesterday I changed from EE to Vodafone (with the same phone, merely swapped the SIM card) and Macrodriod lost all its permissisons.

Is there a way to access the cell tower strength in a variable? I don't mean the WiFi strength; I mean a numerical value for 'number of bars' symbol.
