Hello,

I have a Samsung A41.
Previously Android 11 was installed.
MacroDroid was able to turn WiFi on/off.

Android 12 has now been installed.
Now MacroDroid cannot turn WiFi on/off anymore.

MacroDroidHelper v1.7 has been installed.

Additional features via the ADB tool have been granted.

Is there a solution for Android 12 to allow MacroDroid to turn on WiFi?

I think you can do it with ADB Shell [Tasker Plugin], please execute the following command before using it

USB connection of the Android device to PC and adb command to put the ADB daemon into TCP/IP connection mode is required.

adb tcpip 5555

This command is valid until the Android device is rebooted.

Thanks, but this is not a permanent solution.

Can MacroDroid no longer turn WiFi on and off on Android 12?
Or is the problem only with my device?

It should still work. Do you have location turned on while trying to turn on/off the Wi-Fi?

It works for me, Galaxy Z Flip 3 Android 12
Have you tried to check if your WiFi is set to automatically connect, in settings?

We have confirmed that standard Wi-Fi ON/OFF works on several Android 12 devices, including the Google Pixel 5a and OPPO Reno5 A.

We do not have a Samsung A41, so we cannot verify if it depends on the model.

I looked the MD Helper log.
The log ends 22-06-22 13:08:35
There are no newer entries.
That's probably the day Android 12 was installed.

Android 14 has now been installed.
MacroDroidHelper v1.13 has been installed with ADB.

Now MacroDroid cannot turn WiFi on/off anymore.
It's the same error as back then with Android 12.

Unfortunately, the solution from back then doesn't work.
Solution:
- Uninstall MD Helper app

Is there a solution for Android 14 to allow MacroDroid to turn on/off WiFi?

Please reply in the new post for Android 14.
