Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Hi,

I've been using Situations since you launched it to switch my phone to silent when the charger is plugged in at night. Since update 12, it doesn't seem to work. If I have the situations app open, I get the icon next to my rule stating that it's currently matching, but it doesn't seem to be able to switch the ringer mode anymore. Anyone else having trouble?

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Hi,

Sorry about the long response time. Doesn't seem to be a problem at least for me but I'll check if I can find a way to reproduce it.

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Hej,
@hhaveri, on the latest SFOS (pre-)release, I am still experiencing the connection issues. Though, with less occurances.
As always, please let me know if I can help troubleshooting (if it is a Situations-related issue, of course).

Kiitos,
LVPVS out.

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Currently it does seem like a SFOS issue to me. Can't be sure, but at least currently I have no idea how it could be fixed on Situations side :/

Br,
Heikki

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Hej, For the time being, I removed the band-switching (2g-3g-2g). So far, so good.
I, too, have the feeling that it is SFOS-related...
Thanks, anyway!

HEllo hhaveri,

I don´t think that this is bug, but just FYI.

When using patch "more network modes" ant then using situations app to change to 3 g, it chooses "only 3g" from the settings. I was just wondering, while I had poor phone connectivity on my friens house, and it was just between 2g and 3 g.

Best Regards,
Mikko

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

hi hhavery, thank you for great work and your story (i have recently read your interview session with Jollacommunity.it). i want to report that icons are not adaptable, so in nexus 5 font is too much small, can you fix it?

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

I don't know if my problem is related: It seems that Situations changes the default ringtone volume (i.e. the one you see in settings). I have a situation which sets the volume to minimum. However, in reality the volume is still set to high volume, because the ambience volume is not changed.

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

@itdoesntmatt Thanks, could you send screenshots to support(at)pastillilabs.com ? I develop the Android version mainly on Nexus 5 and while some fonts are indeed quite small (for example under the icons), in general they should be quite readable at least with the default font.

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

@vige Yes, it seems that ambience overrides (at least in some cases) the default value. Not sure how to fix it because there's no proper API to control ambiences :(

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Hey,

Yesterday, Friday 3.7.2015, I Sent an update for Situations to Harbour QA. Since I also started summer vacation at the same time, I'm writing this in advance in case the update happens to pass QA next week and I'm not able to answer any questions/complaints/requests at the time.

What has been updated (version 2.4.68):
1. UI scaling support
If you happen to be running Sailfish on some other devices than Jolla (like Nexus 5), this version should now scale the UI properly.

2. Initial support for multiple CPU architectures
Not directly visible in normal use, but at least some of the necessary changes were made to support Jolla tablet (x86 CPU).

3. Minor improvements to launch action
Mainly adding all search folders for desktop files.

4. New additional plugins
4.1 Bluetooth Pro
Extends (installs on top of) the Bluetooth condition with support for bluetooth device address detection and scan interval option, including no scanning option for detecting connected devices only. This should save battery when only connected devices need to be detected.

Same kind of extension plugin will be done later for WiFi.

4.2 Ringtone plugin
Simple support for setting ringtone. However, as with ringtone volume, this might not work very well together with ambiances.

--

Also all additional plugins have been updated, which means active network connection is required (to download the new plugins) when updating the app from old version and launching the new version first time. Previously this has caused problems to some users but so far I don't think I've been able to make the update process more robust. I do hope everything goes ok this time ;)

For early adopters: you can already try installing arm version from here: http://www.pastillilabs.com/situations/sailfish

Have a nice summer,
Heikki / Pastilli Labs

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Hei Heikki,


I hope your vacation went well. :)

I am using Situations ever since its first release on Sailfish OS.
I can say I much love it.

With the new SFOS2.0 the Ambiences are extended in functionality.
I noticed that when Situations changes the volume of the ringtone, the default ringtone is played when the phone rings, no matter if my Ambience changed it to a custom one. This used to work before.

I would really like if Situations app was able to change Ambiences as well.

Do you plan releasing a plug-in for this?


LVPVS over.

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Hello hhaveri,

I am eagerly waiting this "Bluetooth pro" option working on Wifi also.

This is awesome that you can put this scanning interval to none and it is activated only when connected :) (This saves battery and there is no need for searching connections etc :P

Best Regards,
Mikko

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Hi,

@LVPVS Vacation was ok :)

Yes, I would very much like to do an Ambience plugin. However, last time I looked at the available API, it didn't seem quite feasible at least for a Jolla Store app. However, that was a long time ago and maybe the API has improved. Investigating this is one of the top items after the next release.

@R1v3r The plugin is already implemented, but is waiting for the next "big" update of the app. That's basically because on Android the plugin has direct dependency on changes done on the application side, and I would like to release for both platforms at the same time.

Before the next release I'm still working on some refactoring that is taking a bit longer than expected - but hopefully improves the plugin system (including plugin updates) in general.

Br,
Heikki

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Hei,

Wow! A new update is on its way. :)

I found a fairly easy way to change Ambiences via dbus. It is working just fine with the "Command" 'What'. However; with only the built-in and installed Ambiences. I did not yet find a way to switch to user-created Ambiences.

Eager to see the update.

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Hey!

Finally I think I have a new version of the app that is in a somewhat releasable state. For any brave souls, there are packages for both phone & tablet available for installation here:
http://www.pastillilabs.com/situations/sailfish

As usual, a network connection is required when first time launching the new version (to update any existing plugins). If there are no huge showstopper bugs reported by those brave souls (or any beta users on Android), I'll try my luck uploading the binaries also to app stores in a couple days.

And here's some sort of change log:
- Added support for WiFi Pro plugin
- Minor updates to Bluetooth Pro plugin
- Added support for timed situations
- New time picker (for Time condition & timed situations)
- Other small UI tweaks & fixes
- Improved feature/plugin handling(?)

The timed situation support is intentionally not that obvious to find. And was actually the first and only idea so far how to implement it without major UI redesign ;)

Basically you need to swipe a situation to manual state first and then you can tap the red circle to adjust a timeout for the manual state. Also the green/yellow active circle can be tapped to enable & access the timer. After the timeout, manual state is removed and situation is re-evaluated. Maximum timeout is currently 23 hours and 59 minutes.

Fixes to any Sailfish 2.0 related issues are not part of this release. Also any Android users here can try packages from here (beware that you cannot easily downgrade back to older apk on Android):

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Hei,

So far so good. :)
I like the new Timepicker.

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Umms. Stupid (?) question. Which one is for phone and which is for Tablet?

BR,
Mikko

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Hei,


...ARMV7... is for the phone and ...I486... is for the tablet.

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Thanks! I will give it a try!

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Does this version has also these wifi pro etc, that was in the version for "brave souls"? :D

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Yes, it is available for any soul since the last update ;)

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

hhaveri, hi. Can you add please option to send sms like in android version?
Thanks

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Hi,

The main problem there is that it is not possible to list the available contacts on Sailfish (as it has been possible on any other platform so far (Symbian, Meego, Android)). But maybe the UI could be done by adding a free form field instead to enter a phone number.

So, will probably implement some kind of version of it at some point. Cannot say yet how soon.

Br,
Heikki

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Hi
I don't know what you mean "available contacts", but if you mean just access to the contacts to see/use number, you can check how it implemented in the Call Recorder app (black/white list).

Also I have problem with battery status... When I create Battery saver status "Battery = less than 20% remaining" it immediately activate power save-mode (close conections etc...) even if my battery more than 95%.
I do something wrong or it's a bug in app ?

Thanks

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Thanks, I'll check the contact access implementation a bit later and the battery condition issue as soon as possible.

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on my device. Anyone else having similar problems with the battery condition?

Br,
Heikki

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

I can provide any log for you, that you can check ?

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

There's no logging compiled in by default -> I can send you a separate test build to try and see what's happening there. Please send mail to support(at)pastillilabs.com first.

Br,
Heikki

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Thanks heikki! Awesome these wifi pro and bluetooth pro :) Checking interval is not needed, so you can use only this if connected mode :P

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Hi.
Mail was sent.

And another question, can you please create correct .service file that can automatically start situation app after reboot in background?
I know that harbour not accept it, but here users who want it can use it :rolleyes: Pleeeease...
Thanks

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Ok... I recreated app, now it work better (normal service file).

Changelog:
v0.1-9
* App completely changed.
* Notification text changed a little bit.
* Will start service file after installation.
* Press on icon for stop/start service. If you will stop service, it will stop Situations app. Just reopen Situations app.
* Work also after reboot and lipstick restart.
https://openrepos.net/content/schtur...situations-app

Requires:
harbour-situations2application - should be installed.
python, dbus-python - to see notifications on the event screen.
lipstick-qt5-tools - to overwrite existing notification instead to collect them in the thread.

Just activate developer mode and dependencies packages should be installed automatically.

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Cannot install: requires lipstick-qt5-tools. What a hell is that? :)

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Activate developer mode and try again.

P.S. I have updated my previous post with explanation about needed packages (see above).

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

It worked, thank you :)

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

Hip hop!

Ambience action added to extensions today! Allows selecting at least the built-in ambiences - and should be able to revert back to any user created ambience.

Battery condition is also fixed but is waiting for other fixes & additions to be included in the next application update.

Br,
Heikki

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

thanks for your work heikki

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

I found and fixed a small mistake in the .spec file. Please, try to install a new version.
https://openrepos.net/content/schtur...situations-app

Re: Situations app - bugs, questions, answers, help etc..
 

I can not download the extensions - pressing the green arrow leads to a "loading" spinner for 1-2 seconds and then nothing. Any ideas?
