Problem/question regarding changing default SIM

[Per Ivar]

Hi.

I want to automate which SIM is default at certain times but there seems to be a privileged issue. Just to be clear, I'm trying to use the "Subscription Default Set" block. Sorry if this is a stupid question or obvious, but does my phone need to be rooted for this to work? I have a Samsung Galaxy S23. 

Thanks in advance

What does the error say?

Probably that the privileged service could not be started, and that you should see settings, i.e. you need to configure a "privileged service start method" in Automate settings.

thanks for the reply. looks like you are right! i had ticked some boxes under privileges, but missed the "privileges service start method". started it manually with adb and now it seems to work :)

another question: i created a really simple flow just to test if it worked. it changes simcard used based on whether or not i'm connected to a certain wifi. that seems to work, but do i need to make a loop back to the check to monitor if i'm connected or not, or will it run the flow at certain intervals? what is the best practice?

when i added the loop, it checks constantly, but i dont know if this uses a lot of battery?

great app btw! good job! is premium a one time fee or subscrition?

A flow that's meant to run indefinitely should loop, but ensure there's a block with a Proceed=When changed or alike in the loop, e.g. your Wi-Fi connected block, otherer the flow will run continuously draining lots of battery. Please read:
