HOW TO AUTOMATICALLY ENABLE WI-FI AND DATA WITH CHROME, AND OTHER ANDROID APP AUTOMATION GOODIES Ever been frustrated by having to manually enable Bluetooth before you open a BT file sharing app or having to juggle between Wi-Fi and data before you open Facebook or Instagram? Maybe last time you left the GPS locator switched off, and you opened Google Maps only to have it map your position to the nearest cell tower? Or youd like it if you didnt always have to reach for the screen brightness slider when you open a reading app before bedtime. If these scenarios resonate with your fever, weve got the prescription. Its called “µTask” - an app that makes it very easy to solve the aforementioned problems. Get it from the Google Play store, and well show you how to use it take care of your app automation needs in two easy steps. STEP 1 Launch the app, and enable Start on boot. Youll also learn that the free version which you installed is limited to automating two apps - just enough to properly test it out. Also, the apps Settings menu has some additional options that you dont necessarily have to bother with. STEP 2 You will be greeted by the apps main screen. Its so empty! So fill it with some tasks. Tap the plus button and choose the application you want to automate. Now, its time to set some switches in motion. Say for example, you want to have Chrome automatically enable Wi-Fi and Data upon launch, all you need to do is press on each of the options and enabled them. The same can be done along with GPS location, for Google Maps and all other options that you so desire. As you can see, theres no limit to how many options you can automate at once. Finally, after enabling the selected options, just scroll down and tap Save profile. Hurray, you are done! Say you went and made profiles for all your favorite apps, but now you would like to change them, no problem. Simply open µTask, tap on the task you wish to modify, and go ahead. You can also delete the entire profile, or reset it and start from scratch.
