&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Improved compatibility with Android 10 and higher&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Short version: Install the free &lt;a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twofortyfouram.locale.x.wifi"&gt;Locale X Wi-Fi Helper&lt;/a&gt; for Android 10 and above to enable toggling Wi-Fi. Locale X will provide an in-app prompt if the helper is missing.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Long version: Android 10 and later prevent apps from changing Wi-Fi. To work around this limitation, Locale X has been running in a backwards compatibility mode. Google will prevent app developers from releasing app updates with backwards compatibility mode starting November 1. In preparation for this, Locale X now uses the &lt;a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twofortyfouram.locale.x.wifi"&gt;Locale X Wi-Fi Helper&lt;/a&gt; app which is a free download. The helper can continue running in backwards compatibility mode (without being updated), while allowing Locale X to continue being updated after November 1. Without the helper, Locale X will keep toggling Wi-Fi for a few more weeks but we recommend installing it now so that we can test this integration.&lt;/li&gt;

Next, Locale 4.0 is supercharged with an “oracle” that uses &lt;em&gt;a priori&lt;/em&gt; knowledge of your Location conditions to manage different location sources, providing up to 10x better efficiency.

&lt;p&gt;“Locale has a lot going for it. It’s easy to use, but has some advanced functionality under the hood. We have found the battery usage to be absolutely amazing. Even when using location-based Situations, Locale barely registers on the Battery Use screen.

&lt;p&gt;Astrid, our humble todo list for Android, aims to walk the line between squeaky and annoying. Kevin Purdy from Lifehacker recently &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5616299/lifehacker-pack-for-android-our-list-of-the-best-android-apps"&gt;described Astrid&lt;/a&gt; as, “an extremely tenacious beast that won’t stop reminding, beeping, and buzzing you until certain very important tasks are done.” Astrid is far more than “yet another todo list.” When I really want to wow people about my Android phone, I almost always show off Astrid’s integration with Locale.

&lt;li&gt;New automatic cloud-based backup/restore of situations for devices running Android 2.2 or later supporting Android’s BackupManager.  There are no user interface options within &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; for this feature, as backup and restore is performed automatically&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Location improvements
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;20% faster detection of location changes. &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; now detects location changes within an average of 4 minutes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Battery usage reduced by up to 50%&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;UI improvements to the Wallpaper Setting&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Security improvements&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed a bug where upgrading from &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; 1.0.9 or earlier to &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; 1.2 or later (skipping the &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; 1.1.x series) could corrupt &lt;em&gt;Locale’s&lt;/em&gt; database&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Developer Platform Improvements
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Improved platform API compliance: &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; 1.4 supports a strict API compliance mode, to help developers verify plug-ins will work correctly with different hosts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The ACTION_HELP Intent has been deprecated in favor of Android’s ACTION_VIEW Intent which simply launches the web browser&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The ACTION_START_LOCALE Intent has been deprecated in favor of Android’s &lt;a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html#getLaunchIntentForPackage(java.lang.String)"&gt;PackageManager.getLaunchIntentForPackage() method.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;RESULT_REMOVE has been deprecated. As of &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; 1.4, it will behave as RESULT_CANCELED&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“This app [&lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt;] will intuitively know to turn your phone off when you’re in meetings and remind you that it needs a charge when the battery is low. &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; uses GPS, Wi-Fi and cell signals to adjust your phone settings based on where you are and what time it is. All you need to do to make it self-supporting is define the business locations that are important to you by using a Google Maps interface.”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Locale: The Reason to Marry Your Phone</title><link>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/blog/locale-the-reason-to-marry-your-phone/</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Sep 2010 04:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/blog/locale-the-reason-to-marry-your-phone/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Ryan Minert over at Hijinks just &lt;a href="http://hijinksinc.com/2010/09/28/top-5-android-apps-part-1/"&gt;posted an article&lt;/a&gt; about &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; which is one of “my top 5 ‘everyday’ applications, i.e. applications that I use every day and are the reason my wife says I’m &amp;lsquo;married to my phone.’”&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Water Missions International Project</title><link>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/blog/water-missions-international-project/</link><pubDate>Sat, 18 Sep 2010 02:32:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/blog/water-missions-international-project/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Update: This project was completed and fully funded. A water treatment system was deployed to the Croix-des-Bouquets region of Haiti and is serving a community of about 1,500 people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today I’m excited to announce our first philanthropy project in partnership with &lt;a href="http://www.watermissions.org/" title="Water Missions International"&gt;Water Missions International&lt;/a&gt;. The goal? To raise $30,000 for a complete safe water project for a specific community in a developing or disaster ridden country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My friends George and Molly Greene founded Water Missions International after hurricane Mitch devastated Honduras in 1998. At the time, George and Molly operated their own environmental engineering firm. They received a request for six water treatment systems, but they were unable to find any reliable existing solutions. So George said, “Water treatment isn’t rocket science. Let’s figure it out.” Forty-eight hours later, they had built their own fully functional water treatment system using off-the-shelf parts from a local hardware store. Engineering their own water purification system was only the first step, however, as George and Molly flew to Honduras to personally deliver and install the systems.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Locale 1.3</title><link>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/release-notes/locale-13/</link><pubDate>Sat, 18 Sep 2010 02:30:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/release-notes/locale-13/</guid><description>&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;New dynamic feature scaling, which allows for support for non-phone devices with different hardware capabilities, such as Android tablets and upcoming Android TVs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Security and Data Integrity Improvements
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Improved reclamation of storage space when deleting situations&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; now hides plug-ins that have known security problems&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed a bug where plug-ins returning private Serializable objects unavailable to &lt;em&gt;Locale’s&lt;/em&gt; classloader could crash &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed a bug where plug-in conditions could crash &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; by providing no Activity class in the ACTION_REQUEST_QUERY Intent&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed a bug with plug-in namespace collisions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;UI improvements
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Significantly improved drag-and-drop re-prioritization of situations&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Intelligent situation saving: If a situation is opened for editing, no changes are made, and then the situation is saved, &lt;em&gt;Locale’s&lt;/em&gt; background service no longer re-triggers situation settings&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Improved performance when editing situations&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Redesigned delete buttons, which integrate better with the various and inconsistently customized UIs appearing on HTC, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and Motorola handsets&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Volume setting UI is now fully navigable by trackball&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Time Condition UI has better handling of 12/24 hour time format switches while the UI is running&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Location condition now displays a latitude, longitude coordinate while looking up the street name. Previous versions displayed “unknown,” which caused user confusion&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Edit Situation screen updates dynamically as plug-ins are installed or uninstalled in the background&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Edit Situation screen offers to install missing plug-ins for Android 2.2 and later&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Edit Situation screen displays a dialog about plug-ins which duplicate functionality built-in to &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; and provides additional troubleshooting tips for &lt;em&gt;Locale’s&lt;/em&gt; built-in functionality&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed a bug where the Android back button wouldn’t always return to &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; after choosing the “Get Plug-ins” menu item&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Improved software update notifications&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;New icon for the “View” menu item&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Improved performance in the Location condition UI, especially with screen rotations&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Improved performance in the Wallpaper setting UI, especially with screen rotations&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Updated French, German, Dutch, and Vietnamese localizations&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Improved accuracy of locations trained with Wi-Fi Location Training&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Improved timeouts for Wi-Fi location scans, providing a workaround for firmware flaws in Samsung Galaxy S handsets&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Workaround for a &lt;a href="http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4599"&gt;crash caused by corrupted Google Maps data&lt;/a&gt; on the Samsung Galaxy S&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Workaround for an HTC security bug in the Hero running Android 2.1, which prevented &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; from freeing up certain resources. The underlying security flaw has been reported to HTC&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Improved compatibility with Android 2.2’s Wi-Fi tethering feature&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;New beta feature: significantly improved Wi-Fi location training!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Significant battery life and performance improvements&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed a bug where it was possible to add invisible conditions to Defaults, the end result being that Defaults might not always be active. As a side-effect of this fix, Android home screen shortcuts to &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; must be re-created&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Workaround for a bug in Google’s Network location provider that sometimes advertises more accurate location data than is actually available&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Improved background service performance when rapidly turning the screen on and off&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Improved responsiveness for plug-in conditions when opening the &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; UI&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; now provides its own software update notification, for distribution outside of the Android Market&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed a minor cosmetic bug where situations could sometimes still be listed in bold text on the &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; home screen, even though they were disabled&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Better location detection and battery life by working around an Android bug that could cause Wi-Fi location detection to fail&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Now detects and ignores bad location data coming from Google&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Upgrading from beta
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Since &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; 1.0 is a completely new application, it may be installed simultaneously with 0.695 beta or later. Actually running both services simultaneously is not recommended though&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Situations, conditions, and settings cannot be transferred from the beta to 1.0&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fully compatible with existing 3rd party plug-ins&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Overview
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Significantly more reliable&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Better battery life&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Support for small screen/low resolution devices (e.g. HTC Tattoo)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Support for large screen/high resolution devices (e.g. Motorola Droid)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Improved readability on devices with non-standard UI skins, such as the Hero&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Multiple conditions of the same type (OR operator) in a situation, accessed via a long-press on the “Add Condition” button&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Multiple settings of the same type in a situation, accessed via a long-press on the “Add Setting” button&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; now always shows a notification while the service is running for improved reliability. This notification cannot be disabled due to &lt;a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html#startForeground(int,%20android.app.Notification)"&gt;new limitations introduced in Android 2.0&lt;/a&gt;. Without the notification, &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; would not be able to run reliably in the background&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dutch localization&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hundreds of bugs fixed!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Battery Condition
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Now supports 5% increments&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Significantly improved detection of plug and unplug&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Calendar Condition
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Removed for the time being due to many bugs; will return in the future!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Contact Condition
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Now lasts for the duration of a call, rather than just while the phone is ringing. One hypothetical use case: enabling Bluetooth for the duration of a call&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Support for Google contact groups&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Location Condition
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Significantly improved location detection and reliability. No longer rapidly bounces between situations or Defaults when accuracy is low or when entering a building&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;No longer necessary to leave Wi-Fi enabled all the time. Instead, &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; may periodically enable Wi-Fi for about 1 second to determine location when necessary&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Orientation Condition
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;New condition to detect physical face up or face down orientation of the phone&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Time Condition
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Now detects and handles time zone changes automatically&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Supports 0-length time spans for triggering an event at a certain time&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Supports correct first day of week for different countries&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Display Setting
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Replaced by the individual Brightness and Screen Timeout settings, allowing these to be adjusted independently&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Brightness Setting
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Support for auto-brightness on devices with an ambient light sensor&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Screen Timeout Setting
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;On Android 2.0 devices, the timeout intervals are now consistent with the Android 2.0 settings&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Wi-Fi Setting
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fixed concurrency issues that could cause the Wi-Fi setting to fail if &lt;em&gt;Locale&lt;/em&gt; was simultaneously checking location (for this reason, do NOT use third party plug-ins that interact with Wi-Fi)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Developer Platform
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Preliminary support for plug-in conditions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Storing extras directly in Intents is deprecated in favor of using a well defined “com.twofortyfouram.locale.intent.extra.BUNDLE” Bundle&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dynamic sharing of string and drawable resources&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Backwards compatible with old plug-ins&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Known Issues
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Wallpaper setting can sometimes be quirky, especially if another situation happens to change the wallpaper while you are picking a wallpaper.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The ability to search for location by name does not work under Android 1.5&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Drag-and-drop reprioritization of situations behaves strangely under Android 1.5&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Motorola Cliq will reboot frequently while using the Location condition. Motorola is aware of the issue, although they have not committed to a fix at this time. (Let &lt;a href="https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/cp/call"&gt;Motorola support&lt;/a&gt; know that this is important to you, so that they’ll pay attention and fix this issue!)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;All Samsung devices are incompatible with the Location condition. Samsung is investigating the issue.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;ve created an account and would like to delete it, please follow these steps:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open Locale X on your Android device&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Note that manufacturers intentionally keep moving and renaming these settings every few months, in order to make it difficult for you to turn them off. They also reset your preferences after system updates, so you might have to re-check them after updating your phone.&lt;/p&gt;

Locale supports all screen resolutions and screen sizes. Locale supports phones, tablets, media players, and even TVs. Locale is tested extensively on a wide variety of Android devices in our lab from nearly every manufacturer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although Locale X is compatible thousands of Android devices, there are a few known issues which are documented below. New devices are tested as soon as they are available, and this list is continuously updated.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Concepts and Glossary</title><link>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/concepts/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/concepts/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="situations"&gt;Situations&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Locale lets you configure &lt;strong&gt;situations&lt;/strong&gt;—circumstances your device might encounter throughout the day. Situations are made up of &lt;strong&gt;conditions&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;settings&lt;/strong&gt;. For example, your &amp;ldquo;At Work&amp;rdquo; situation might activate when your location condition is &amp;ldquo;77 Massachusetts Avenue&amp;rdquo; and triggers your Volume setting to silent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="situation-priority"&gt;Situation Priority&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Situations are listed in priority order. Higher priority situations take precedence over lower priority situations, allowing Locale to handle overlapping situations. For example, your &amp;ldquo;Asleep&amp;rdquo; situation might be higher priority than &amp;ldquo;At Home&amp;rdquo; so that Asleep can take precedence to silence the ringer at night. To re-prioritize situations, navigate to the situation list, then touch and hold the situation name in the list and drag.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Developer</title><link>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/developer/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/developer/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="developer-api"&gt;Developer API&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h2 id="sample-code"&gt;Sample Code&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Interaction between Locale (host) and plug-ins (client) occurs via an Intent-based API.

&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Caller -&amp;gt; Volume&lt;/strong&gt;: The Caller condition no longer exists. In Locale X, VIPs are now configured inside the Volume setting. Locale X will make adjustments to your situations during the conversion. It will then be necessary for you to manually add your VIPs to your &amp;ldquo;starred&amp;rdquo; contacts in the Android address book.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Orientation -&amp;gt; Face Down&lt;/strong&gt;: The Orientation condition in Locale 6.4.0 is now the Face Down condition in Locale X. (The face up option in Locale 6 was rarely used, and by removing it we&amp;rsquo;ve been able to substantially optimize power usage and performance).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Movement -&amp;gt; Driving&lt;/strong&gt;: The Movement condition in Locale 6.4.0 is now the Driving condition in Locale X. Locale X detects Driving using Bluetooth with much greater speed and lower power usage. (Locale 6.4.0 used minute vibrations to identify driving, which can be tricky to detect on some devices).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ringtone -&amp;gt; 🚫&lt;/strong&gt;: The Ringtone setting in Locale 6.4.0 no longer exists. This was often confused with the Volume setting, and by removing it we&amp;rsquo;ve been able to make the app much easier for new users.&lt;/li&gt;

Locale’s reliability is legendary, and we welcome your constructive feedback to continue improving the app.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To get started, please &lt;a href="https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.twofortyfouram.locale.x"&gt;opt-in to download the Locale X public beta&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>FAQ</title><link>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/faq/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/faq/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="how-do-i-configure-vip-callers"&gt;How do I configure VIP callers?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Locale X, VIP callers are configured inside the Volume setting. You can set the volume to allow “priority” calls and messages to come through, then set the list of priority contacts in Android settings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(If you previously used Locale 6.4.0, the “Caller” condition has been replaced with this new approach).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="why-is-locales-location-circle-larger-than-google-maps"&gt;Why is Locale&amp;rsquo;s location circle larger than Google Maps?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Google&amp;rsquo;s circle is only 65% confident. Locale requires greater than 99% confidence to work reliably, which means a larger circle.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>How to Upgrade</title><link>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/how-to-upgrade/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/how-to-upgrade/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Locale X is a separate download, so you can upgrade at your own pace. During the public beta of Locale X, you’ll need to &lt;a href="https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.twofortyfouram.locale.x"&gt;opt-in to download the app&lt;/a&gt; (it won’t show up on Google Play searching by app name).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When Locale X first runs, it will detect if Locale 6.4.0 is also installed and automatically convert your existing situations (there are a few &lt;a href="https://www.twofortyfouram.com/differences-from-locale-640"&gt;minor differences&lt;/a&gt;). The Locale 6.4.0 background service will be stopped to prevent conflicts.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Locale X Known Issues</title><link>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/known-issues/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/known-issues/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Locale X is engineered to be robust. Every release goes through an extensive test suite, and the app has been tested since 2018 by an elite group of several thousand testers. There are a few minor items that we’re actively tracking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;#1212 Location search won’t work when hitting the enter key on the keyboard but works if you select an autocomplete item from the list.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;#1035 Switching accounts for backup is not supported. If you sign in with one account, restore situations, then switch to another account, those situations that were restored will not be uploaded to the new account. To upload them to the new account, every situation must be edited.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;#1015 Imagine a &lt;a href="https://gfycat.com/achingvainchicken-loris"&gt;slow loris&lt;/a&gt; placing the phone face down, very very slowly. Under such conditions, the Face Down condition may not detect a change.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;#1038 Wallpapers do not sync between devices, because they are very large compared to other condition and setting types.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;#1492 Tapping on the ongoing notification will clear the stack of screens in Locale to bring up the Locale X home screen. This means that if you’re editing a situation and tap the notification, the edits will be cleared.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id="limitations"&gt;Limitations&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Limitations are not bugs in Locale, but rather limitations with Android.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>License Agreement</title><link>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/license-agreement/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/license-agreement/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;This is a legal agreement (“Agreement”) between you and two forty four a.m. LLC and covers your use of the Locale software, plug-ins, and documentation (“Software”).

Similarly, a limitation in Android 13 and later prevents apps from toggling Bluetooth. To work around this, a separate free “Helper” app was compiled to run in Android 9 backwards compatibility mode.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Helper must be downloaded from our website, because Google Play won’t allow apps running in backwards compatibility mode.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In order to receive the benefits of Locale X, a subscription is required. We&amp;rsquo;ve added hundreds of &lt;a href="https://www.twofortyfouram.com/blog/2018/12/31/locale-x-beta/"&gt;new features&lt;/a&gt; in Locale X, such as new conditions and settings, a beautiful new design, and tight integration with the latest versions of Android.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you previously purchased Locale, you can continue to use the old version of the app (Locale 6.4.0). Nothing is being taken away. It is your choice to upgrade. Locale X also offers a free trial option, to see if the new version is right for you.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Support</title><link>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/support/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/support/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="updates"&gt;Updates&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Locale X is the longest-standing app available on &lt;a href="https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.twofortyfouram.locale.x"&gt;Google Play&lt;/a&gt;, continuously refreshed since October 2008.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The latest release is Locale X version 10.2.568 (&lt;a href="https://www.twofortyfouram.com/release-notes"&gt;release notes&lt;/a&gt;). Updates roll out in phases as a normal part of our release process, so it may be several weeks before the version listed here reaches you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This page is the archived support page for Locale 6.4.0.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The latest version of Locale is Locale X, which has a different set of &lt;a href="https://www.twofortyfouram.com/support"&gt;support documentation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="frequently-asked-questions"&gt;Frequently Asked Questions&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3 id="how-do-i-redownload-locale"&gt;How do I redownload Locale?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Locale 6 is no longer listed on the Google Play store, to avoid confusion with Locale X. If you previously purchased Locale 6, the steps to redownload it are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open the Google Play app&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tap on the account icon in the top right corner. If you have multiple Google accounts, make sure that you&amp;rsquo;re still signed into the account that originally was used to purchase Locale&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tap Manage apps and device and then Manage&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;From there, you should be able to install Locale. (If you can&amp;rsquo;t find the app, at the top, tap Installed and then Not installed)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h3 id="why-does-locale-stop-running-in-the-background"&gt;Why does Locale stop running in the background?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A &amp;ldquo;battery saver&amp;rdquo; is preventing the app from running. The symptoms vary from Locale stopping after a few days, not running when the screen is off, or not starting when Android is rebooted. Locale&amp;rsquo;s ongoing notification might disappear, and Locale will &amp;ldquo;wake up&amp;rdquo; only when tapping on the app&amp;rsquo;s icon from the Android home screen.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Tips</title><link>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/tips/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/tips/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="volume-control"&gt;Volume Control&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When Bluetooth connects or disconnects, Android will reset the volume. This can conflict with Locale. This often occurs if you drive and have Location-based situations configured to adjust volume.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To prevent this conflict, consider creating a Driving situation with a &amp;ldquo;Volume, Ringer and Notifications&amp;rdquo; and a &amp;ldquo;Volume, Media&amp;rdquo; setting. After creating the Driving situation, go to the situation list and move it to be &lt;strong&gt;higher priority than your Location-based situations&lt;/strong&gt;. When you arrive, the location situation will become active but the settings will be suppressed by the Driving situation. When Driving ends as you turn off the car, Locale is smart enough to wait a few seconds for Android&amp;rsquo;s adjustments to happen before firing the volume settings in the location-based situation.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Troubleshooting</title><link>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/troubleshooting/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/troubleshooting/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Follow these steps in order to help debug your situations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="1-is-the-background-service-running"&gt;1. Is the background service running?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If Locale&amp;rsquo;s background service isn&amp;rsquo;t running, then none of your situations will run.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Open Locale and check the Overview screen. There is a card which shows the status of the background service including when it started and why.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If Locale&amp;rsquo;s service isn&amp;rsquo;t running, the app will appear to &amp;ldquo;wake up&amp;rdquo; when you open it and you&amp;rsquo;ll see a message that Locale started when you opened the app. If this happens, most likely a &amp;ldquo;battery saver&amp;rdquo; or &amp;ldquo;memory cleaner&amp;rdquo; is stopping the app. These usually kill apps if you haven&amp;rsquo;t opened for a few days, which can make the issue seem inconsistent.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Tutorial</title><link>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/tutorial/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.twofortyfouram.com/tutorial/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Locale lets you configure &lt;strong&gt;situations&lt;/strong&gt;—circumstances your device might encounter throughout the day.

For example, your &amp;ldquo;At Work&amp;rdquo; situation might activate when your location condition is &amp;ldquo;77 Massachusetts Avenue&amp;rdquo; and triggers your Volume setting to silent.&lt;/p&gt;
