The export from your old phone refuses to import, imports half-empty, or imports with broken actions. Match versions, protect the file, and convert in the order that loses the least.
The counter resets, the last-run time vanishes, the flag forgets. Learn which variable losses are scope, which are overwrites, and which are the process dying — and design state that survives.
Your phone keeps running screen macros against your thigh — unlocking gestures, taps, and proximity events that never really happened. Gate them so pocket physics stops counting as input.
New phone, empty MacroDroid, months of macros on the old handset. Migrate in the right order — export, import, permissions, device-specific fixes — and keep the old phone as your safety net.
The car connects, the music starts, and your Bluetooth macro notices nothing — or notices the disconnect twenty minutes late. Work the permission, power, and device-identity layers in order.
The HTTP action fails — but a 401, a timeout, and a DNS error are three different problems wearing the same red X. Read the response properly and fix the layer that actually broke.
The home-screen button that ran your macro for months now does nothing when tapped. Refresh the widget, rebuild the shortcut, and check the OEM battery layer that eats the tap.
Clipboard macros that worked for years died on Android 10 — by design. Learn which clipboard routes Android still permits, which are gone for good, and how to redesign around them.
You crossed time zones and the 7 a.m. routine now fires at 3 a.m. — or not at all. Separate a stale time zone from Doze batching and a hard-coded offset, then prove the morning run.
Speak Text runs in the log but the phone says nothing — or speaks in a voice and language you never chose. Work the engine, voice data, and audio stream layers in order.
