What happened to Xperia Actions?

[gregorg1]

I changed from Xperia Premium to Xperia XZ3 and I´m really disapponted.

With Xperia XZ3 I lost Xperia Actions, the one and only way to start/stop  airplane mode automatically by time and location. Sony, Why do you strip all this good functions of your phones.

If I want a pure android phone I can buy Google Pixel.

Will this feature come back? Is there any substitution without using google assistant which wil collect all my data, or without rooting?

Kind regards

I'm trying to backtrack Xperia Actions: Abroad. 

Within the Abroad features you're capable nub background data not be used when the phone is off or in multi-tasking in between switching apps.

Now how do I check if those features are on/off without Xperia Actions?

Like having a game to continue loading when the screen turns off, or switch between apps.

I need something to turn On or Off the bluetooth connection with my car during the commute.

I have changed my Xperia XZ Premium with a Xperia XZ3 and I miss the features given by Xperia Actions.😢

Please bring it back!

Use macros.

Macrodroid, Tasker, Automate for instance can do the job.

Set up to switch on BT when traveling, or maybe geofencing.

Hi @MihaiGabor ;

You can try turning on the option "Turn on Bluetooth while driving" that will be available in bluetooth settings after going to Developer options>Feature Flags>turn on "settings_bluetooth_while_driving".

Great @NunoSEN2 

Had not discovered it yet.

@MihaiGaborthere is some more information about Featured Flags here.

Thank you for help!

It seems that on my Xperia XZ3, even if I started developer mode and I activated from Developer options / features flags the option for Bluetooth starting  I go on the Settings / ... / Bluetooth / "Use Bluetooth while driving" active, the Bluetooth still does not start.

Do you have any suggestion?

@MihaiGabor;

To be honest I never tested it and don't know exactly what activates the Bluetooth while driving, don't know if it is the gps speed or something else, did you tested it while on the move? 

[Strampke]

I tested it as well and had the same experience you have.

However with tasker or macrodroid it works.

Tested that too. (on my old Xperia X)

[mihaigab]

Yes I've tested several times and the Bluetooth does not start automatically.

Thank you anyway for your suggestion!
