Locale X Known Issues

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.

• #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.
• #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.
• #1015 Imagine a slow loris placing the phone face down, very very slowly. Under such conditions, the Face Down condition may not detect a change.
• #1038 Wallpapers do not sync between devices, because they are very large compared to other condition and setting types.
• #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.

Limitations

Limitations are not bugs in Locale, but rather limitations with Android.

• Display Sleep timeouts can be blocked by Device Administrators. For example, if your company’s security policy requires the device to be locked within 5 minutes then the Display Sleep setting timeout options greater than 5 minutes will be silently blocked.
• Location accuracy will be reduced while Wi-Fi tethering (portable Wi-Fi hotspot) is active. For this reason, USB tethering is recommended instead.
