Help Smart Actions data back on

I'm experiencing an annoying bug frequently with smart actions on both of our razrs. We have a smart action defined to turn off cellular data when connected to wifi at home or work to save battery. That part seems to work fine and makes a considerable difference on battery. The problem is that frequently, data doesn't get turned back on when I leave wifi coverage. Manually ticking the box fixes the problem each time.

I made a comment in another thread where I (and others) are experiencing wifi dropping frequently and I'm guessing that this is the cause as I'll have wifi drop and come back very frequently while at home and the smart action will keep going back and forth. I'm guessing that something is getting lost among the constant cycling that forgets to reenable the data.

Is anyone experiencing anything similar or have any suggested fixes?
Thanks,
 
In the 3 days I've had my phone...I have found the Smart Actions very useful, and troublesome (until I figured it out)...Smart Actions work great, if you don't have actions conflicting against each other...just saying, double check to be sure there are no conflicts.

To the Smart Actions developer that I've seen on here...maybe you could work it into the app so it checked for conflicts and advised the user of these conflicts. Just a thought...

I feel u on this one. Since the last two updates Smart Actions has problems with Location based actions. I have the same config as you, turn of cellular data at home and use Wifi, as soon as I leave home it takes 20 to 30 miles before it disengages and when it does takes a long time before cellular data comes back on.:mad: Gotta turn off the action for data to come back right away.

Now to answer if I have conflicting smart actions the answer is NO have the same configuration since I owned my Razr which was 2 weeks after it was released and it worked fine then.
 
Hi there... one thing I tried was setting up a profile on SA called "Default". I set it to trigger based on time. I set up the time frame as "Default" as well and made it 7 days a week all day.

For me I have everything on as default but my home and work profiles over ride it bases in wifi or times.
