v1.7.3 - "Old Europe" edition
Mark Lowne
- complete overhaul for Location (torture test it, it's going to have
some surviving bugs)
- Setup fix for Samsung phones
- fixed occasional logging FC
- translators needed!
Surfinette pretty much forced me to reconsider how AutoDisable works.
It suddenly dawned upon me that its implementation was rather useless
- in retrospect I think I introduced it just to bargain some time
while Location wasn't working properly. Having realized this it was
easy to see what *she* thought should be its way of operation
(together with Location) - and, lo and behold, it actually made a lot
of sense! Yay Surfinette! :)
So AutoDisable is now a completely different beast (but keeping the
old name as the previous implementation is removed anyway). Location
*will* make use of AutoDisable (even if it's disabled in the main UI)
- this, among other things, allows for fully automatic tweaking of the
WiFi zones (so the 'radius' slider is gone as well).
If everything goes well, Location should work right from the start. It
will soon gather intelligence on the WiFi zones - initially JD will
often briefly enable WiFi to 'test the waters', but after a while this
should happen quite rarely.

I'm new to the beta, hello!!
I have an unrooted EVO and had no problems installing/using Juice
Defender 1.7.2. However, I'm not able to install the 173.apk -- I keep
getting a "cannot parse package" message. Note: The 1.7.3 apk is much
smaller than 1.7.2... 1.7.3 = 12.85KB while 1.7.2 = 618KB.
I'm very interested in testing Location :-) Will 1.7.3 apk be re-
added to the download link (or am I doing something wrong?)
Regards,
Karen

I tried downloading the file myself and it sports all of its supposed
168kb - so I think your download was interrupted somehow; clear caches
and try again! :)

Install went perfect on my new mytouch 3G slide 2.1 unrooted. Since I got a new phone I figured I would get a new name too lol. Gonna check location asap.
On a side note I noticed the timeout feature is not secure on boot for my slide. Im pretty sure it used to be on mytouch 3g but its not on mytouch slide running sense UI. Just thought I would bring it up.

download via stock browser (rather than Dolphin HD) -- downloaded and
installed 1.7.3 successfully.
Everything seems to be in order for now. Will watch for (and report)
any notable events.
Thanks agan!

@Mark disregard the comment about timeout not being secure on boot. Version 1.7.3 is secure on boot I stress tested it a lot. 1.7.1 was not secure and I didn't even get to test 1.7.2 you were to quick :) You must have ESP because your always fixing bugs before I can report them ;)
Although 1.7.3 is locking before it should sometimes. I keep it at 10 minutes and it's locking before time is up. Timeout is one of my favorite features you added to JD thanks it makes life easier.

Moto Milestone, 2.1, Non-rooted.
Successfully passed setup. Will report back if I run into any
issues.
Thanks!

disable, or it is all the same? if it has no additional meaning maybe
you shall consider disabling auto disable when location trigger is
online....

screen locked events; the rule is that the screen is locked after
(lock minutes - off minutes) minutes; so if you have Timeout set to
2m/10m and turn the screen off manually, it'll be locked after 8
minutes.
@ratson: as always you're right :) but the thing is so convoluted even
I am not 100% sure what happens with Location enabled and AutoDisable
disabled; but yes, I'd say it should make no practical difference. If
you guys confirm this I'll do what you suggest.
Everybody testing Location: one of the most obvious problems you might
see is WiFi failing to reconnect within the timeout and getting
disabled by JD (especially with weak WiFi signal); I'll tweak the
timeout based on your feedback.
Smokem_I
Thanks Mark for clearing that up for me.
Location is working much better! After leaving home the first time I screened on wifi was on but JD disabled it within 30 seconds. It was taking other versions up to 15 minutes to disable wifi. Wifi did turn on like you said "testing the waters" but would disable itself again within seconds. When I got home I screened on to see if JD would enable wifi. First time it didn't so I screened off left it for awhile and when I screened on again JD did enable wifi. So within ten minutes of being in know zone JD enabled wifi. Which is much faster than previous versions in disabling and enabling wifi! :)

Would you mind to send me the log while it's fresh?

Sure thing ill send right now.

Look for OLD EUROPE LOCATION. After looking at the log myself it was about 20 minutes till I screened on again still its working much better. As you've said before it wont kill me to have to wait lol ;)

Knowthenazz (Moto Milestone, 2.1, Non-Rooted)
All seems to be running well, with one exception (I've noticed this on
previous releases as well).
If I have WIFI set to Screen Only (Not Schedule, and Not Peak) I still
notice that WIFI gets enabled according to my schedule (1min/15min)
when the phone is not connected to the charger, and the screen remains
off.
I only know this because I have Setting Profiles play a notification
sound any time my WIFI gets connected/disconnected.
Thanks!

seems to have disappeared. The Timeout status still appears but there
is no way to turn it on. Is this expected?

@Mike the timeout button is there for me. Mark would probably say to uninstall and reinstall. Try it and see if it fixes the problem.
