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.

Hi Dm114, I am also retired, but somehow I am still working! I remember when all those search engines first started working, back in the 1990s. It soon became clear that google was better than the others. So in a sense they deserved to win, but it has resulted in them being rather too powerful.

You mean use the normal notifications from calendar? Yes I used to do exactly that and I had default notifications at 45, 30,15, 5 minutes before. In fact I also had an MD script triggered by those notifications that spoke out and warned me about the details of the upcoming meeting...

No problem, I am very grateful for your interest and help. I'll play with some other options and see if anything else affects it. I have macros that warn me about calendar events 45, 30, 15 and 5 minutes before hand - saved my bacon a few times! R

Ah, but in the trigger setup there is a 'check in advance' option. When you select it you get the ability to choose how many hours or minutes before (or indeed after) the event you want the trigger to fire. I tested it. When you don't use the 'check in advance' option things work OK. When...

Thank you Andydroid and Dm114 for your help. I am still stuck though. I have set up a test macro that has the calendar trigger an then emails me the various variables. The magic variable [calendar_title] and [calendar_detail] come through as "test title" and "test detail" , so that's good...
