Frequently have to reauthorize adb wifi

[Tom Stern]

Does anyone else have this problem:

I have tasks set up so that when I leave home, my phone
Turns on Bluetooth to connect to my car
Disables WiFi sets automatic lock to 15 minutes, and
Turns on mobile data

When I leave the car, the phone
Turns off Bluetooth
Turns WiFi back on

When I get home, the phone
Turns on WiFi
Turns off Bluetooth
Sets automatic locking to 72 hours
Turns off mobile data

Lately, when I stop and restart WiFi and connect to a different WiFi server, my phone insists I've lost my adb write secure settings.

I know I have to re-read enable when I reboot the OS, but is it normal to have to do it when i get a new IP address?

Thanks.

Wait, so is it ADB Wifi or Write Secure Settings that's resetting?

Thanks for getting back to me, João (Big fan or your work).

I'm not sure which it is.  Here's what I did yesterday to cause the problem.

1) I left home for the Doctor;s office.

   Phone turns off WiFi, starts Bluetooth, turns on Mobile Data, sets screenlock to 15 minutes

2)  I get about 10 blocks from home, remember I left my facemask at home, go back for it.

     Phone turns on Wifi, turns off Bluetooth, turns off Mobile Data, sets screenlock to 72 hours

3) Pick up the mask and leave again

        Phone turns off WiFi, starts Bluetooth, turns on Mobile Data, sets screenlock to 15 minutes

4) 50 miles later arrive at doctor's office

     Phone turns on Wifi, turns off Bluetooth, but when it tries to turn off Mobile Data, I get an error message about missing permissions

.

6) Return home

       Phone turns on Wifi, turns off Bluetooth, turns tries to turn off Mobile Data but I again get missing permissions message, tries to set screenlock to 72 hours but it still locks after 15 minutes.

7)  Connect phone to PC (Windows 7) and enter the following commands.

     adb devices

     adb tcpip 5555

     adb shell pm grant com.joaomgcd.autotools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

     adb shell pm grant net.dinglisch.android.taskerm android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

8)  Things appear to go back to working, but several hours later I get a message asking to accept a RSA key.  I check the "don't ask again" then the OK.

And it's back to normal.

Thanks.

Would you be able to send me a screenshot of that dialog so I can check what it could be please?

[Tom Stern]

I'll be glad to  the next time it happens.  Right now it's behaving itself (probably because I haven't left home in days).

Thanks.
