I could have done all of these with automate but as the sms bug it previous had has made me a bit cautious of using SMS's i do any SMS related stuff with Tasker. I also have a lost / gps thing setup with Tasker. It gives them two minutes to do this (2:30 in reality to account for sms lag) and then rejects any attempt to turn up the volume (it also turns it back down once the incoming call has happened). I've also got Tasker setup so that if my phone volume is low and another mobile number rings me, it will reply with a text containing instructions on how the caller can turn up my ringer volume. I ended up creating a flow in automate to save SMS's to a file which Tasker would then check every 15 seconds and send out. It's slightly more complex (aka PITA) to use and cancelling out / backwards from some things is a bit weird but its robust. Tasker I also bought based purely on its reviews. It's a great app but i do find a few bugs here and there. When i first got automate it had a bug where it wouldn't send SMS's on some phones - mine included and it took months for the author to finally crack the bug. Tasker and Automate are two brilliant apps and yes I'm aware i'm running both lol. I was getting pretty frustrated with it when the downloader data cache kept causing it to crash apps and the browser but since discovering that and wiping the cache all has been good. Well its got 1GB of ram - thats more than enough for my needs (you can run WinXP on that!).
