Location Task not working properly.

[Akedos]

Alright, I'm having an issue with a location task not working properly. I've tried a bunch of stuff to get it to work and I feel that it is likely a root issue, but not certain.

Trigger:
Battery Level 0-5%

Task:

Secure Settings: Configuration - GPS Enabled
Net: Wifi - Set On
Wait - 30 Seconds
Get Location: Source - Any, Timeout 240 seconds
Send SMS: To - (whoever)
Message: "It is %DATE at %TIME. My phone is located at: %LOC Battery Level %BATT"

Stop Location: Any
Secure Settings: GPS Disabled
Net: Wifi - Set Off


The phone is rooted. It's a Razr Maxx. I have Helper installed with Secure Settings. I have GPS checked. The issue I get is the text that is sent looks like this:

"It is 20-03-13 at 17.59. My phone is located at: %LOC Battery Level 5"

Why isn't it getting a location with all that time available?

What value is the %LOC returning? Look in your variables tan after you test the task

I'm not getting any variables listed in the variable tab actually.

Why not just use "phone>cell near"?

Try testing with GPS enabled and without using Secure Settings- %LOC is the default value of the variable when not populated so it looks as though the enabling of GPS is what's failing.

Mine is working fine on a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 Rooted using AOKP Rom Milestone 1.
