Android 12 - some options broken?

[Moorhen]

It seems that Android 12 has broken some options. Anybody experiencing the same? And maybe some workarounds?

- mobile data action (disabling) does not work anymore (despite ADB hack)
- brightness level does not work as advertised

I'm on a Pixel 6.

For brightness level, have you tried enabling the alternative Android 9+ mode. This should work and if not then you can always use the force value to set some absolute value (You will have to experiment with values to find the value you want).

The mobile data action is not related to Android 12 as it works fine on my Pixel4a running Android 12. It is documented in the app that this action does not work on all devices and I guess the Pixel6 is one of the non working devices I'm afraid. (I don't have access to a Pixel6 to try}.

Thanks. The brightness level I've been able to set successfully now. Thanks for your guidance.

The mobile data action is a bummer as I was rally happy with that on my previous devices (Pixel 2XL and OP Nord). But it is strange that it works on your Pixel 4a, whereas it doesn't on mine. The behaviour is also somewhat strange: the action does toggle the mobile data switch in Android Settings (Network and Internet -> SIM cards), but for the rest nothing happens. So the action Mobile Data Off toggles the Mobile Data switch to off, but mobile data remains active. The same for Mobile Data On. When I toggle the switch manually, mobile data is indeed enabled/disabled.

For the rest: I'm a huge fan of your app, been using it for years now and even provided the first major translation in Dutch.

If you are rooted you might want to use shell

svc data enable

Unfortunately I'm not. I stopped rooting my phone last year. The hassle it gave didn't outweigh the improved iterations of Android. I have the MD ADB hack applied though.

Switch about moving data, You can try using "Condiciones/Bucles"

It's feasible on Android 11, and you don't have to get root. But I don't know if it can run effectively on Android 12.

WHILE / DO(Mobile Data On/Off)→Android Shortcut(Quick Settings)→UI Interaction(Click [Mobile Data])→…→End Loop

Thanks. It's not ideal but it's the closest to the real toggle. I keep finding it strange that this functionality somehow got broken (either in Android 12 or in the Pixel 6).
