Endercraft, I figured out how to make the text size larger in my Popup Message by Googling something like, "How to change font size using an HTML tag" then used trial-and-error. I was hoping this forum would provide the info I needed because I am not an HTML programmer. For others who don't...

This is probably a simple task but alas I cannot find the answer. Very specifically, the text that Macrodroid (MD) displays in its POPUP MESSAGE boxes is too small. How can I increase the font size, in MD's POPUP MESSAGE boxes, WITHOUT manually pinching or zooming -and- WITHOUT changing the...

Dm114, First, thank-you for your reply. Secondly, within MacroDroid, exactly HOW do I "ask whether you have your phone in hand or not"? In other words, what is the TRIGGER, ACTION, or CONSTRAINT in MacroDroid to ask whether you have your phone in hand or not? Or do I need to call Tasker...

I am trying to write a MacroDroid (or Tasker) macro that alerts me when the power goes off when I am sleeping. At night I put my phone on a charging pad. If the charging pad loses power (Power Disconnected) I NEED the macro to alert me (wake me up) by speaking the text, "ATTENTION... Power...

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G phone. I installed the Samsung app called SmartThings and I want it to run IN THE BACKGROUND at all times. I think I can use a MacroDroid macro make this happen. Does anyone know how? To help with an answer... There is a an android feature called...

Actually, @roughnecks comment was a little intimidating and DID NOT help. I only suspected that it could be done with an 'if' and could have spent hours (days?) digging for the answer which is why I decided to try the Macrodroid Forum. It was @Dm114 that steered me in the right direction...

Here's another easy puzzle -- provided there is an answer. I have a single macro containing 5 TRIGGER's. In this macro, each of the 5 triggers is "Application Launched" but each one is for a different Application. If any one of the 5 triggers is tripped then the macro will run. So, here's...

@420, I apologize, you are correct -- MD's updating of where you are located IS NOT the same as updating which activity you are performing (if anything). The common issue is that when MD performs either of these updates (location updating -or- activity recognition) it uses battery power. And...

I bought a Samsung Watch4 Classic LTE -- which has the Wear OS -- and love it. I only wear it when I leave my house and take it off when I get back home. When I am in my home, I RARELY use the watch so I could power it down to save the battery but then I cannot use the watch at all. The last...

@420, I think you ask a good follow-up question, but I suspect what @MacroDroidDev meant to say is, "If you have no ENABLED macros that use any of the relevant triggers...". The only way we will know is if @MacroDroidDev responds to this thread. So to summarize, I think our questions are: 1)...

More info on saving the Macrodroid logs (User Log -AND- System Log). Thanks to Jacob for suggesting using the share feature. Here is what I have found so far... Too bad there doesn't seem to be a way to backup the MD logs AUTOMATICALLY like once every two months. It also doesn't appear that...

Jacob, Actually there is a Macrodroid built-in Action called "Clear Log". When configuring this Action you are prompted to specify either the Macrodroid "User Log" or the Macrodroid "System Log". My desire is to first make a copy of the log before clearing it (emptying it) but I do not...

I have several Macrodroid macros that use a Geofence as a Trigger. Most of those macros are configured with the "Location Update Rate" set to 30 minutes so my phone's location is updated every 30 minutes -- for these macros the battery drain is not that bad. However, I have another macro...

Yes, I know that reducing screen brightness will lower battery drain, but I don't see how lowering my screen brightness is going to lower battery drain which is caused by Macrodroid's "Location Updating". Here is my slightly reworded question: Can I FURTHER minimize the battery drain -- which...

Here's a fairly easy slam dunk for those who know the answer... I have a Macrodroid macro that fires on a geofence Entry/Exit. I need the trigger to fire as close to when it actually happens as possible. Therefore, I have the location update set to every 30 seconds. I know this frequent...

Does anyone know how to truncate both the Macrodroid User Log file -and- the Macrodroid System Log file? Don't these files grow unbounded (size is limitless)? It would be nice to keep the last several days of log entries. If there is no built-in Macrodroid log truncation then I suspect I...

Thanks for the suggestions, tanutanu, but I had a big problem of the phone taking photos (of the inside of my pocket), dialing 911, and other unwanted stuff. All of this stopped when I turned OFF "double-tap to turn screen on/off" -- I did this because the android setting called "Accidental...

SUCCESS!!! I figured it out. The solution is, I needed to log into my Google account and set an "App Password" for the App I named "Macrodroid". When creating the App Password, I probably could have named it anything I wanted because I think the name I chose ("Macrodroid") is just a name it...

I have a Ring Doorbell. I am trying to write a "Send intent" macro, so that when I leave my home, the Ring Doorbell mode is changed from HOME to AWAY. In case you are asking 'Why?'... I also have Ring Camcorders (part of the Ring Doorbell system) inside my home for security. When I am home...

tanutanu, First, thanks for helping me with this but as you can see, in my original post, I have tried the Macrodroid "Test action". After initiating the "Test action", I go to the Macrodroid System Log where I see (in real time) the slow scrolling "Using OAUTH" messages. I put these messages...
