[APP][26-10-2009] AutoLight V2.5 - Better Auto Backlight for Topaz

AutoLight V2.5
HTC Topaz (Diamond 2) auto adjust backlight function is a good idea with a not very good implementation. It must be said to HTC excuse that the light sensor is very noisy, especially at low light conditions.
Some alternatives do exist but are not very good or are Compact Framework application (not a very good idea for background application).
AutoLight is supposed to be a better implementation for the auto adjust backlight function.
Requirements and compatibility
AutoLight was developed for HTC Topaz (Diamond 2) with WM6.1 and it critically depends on HTCSensorSDK.dll, HTCUtil.dll and on a 10 levels backlight starting from value 1.
It has been reported to work with WM6.5, on Rhodium (Touch Pro 2) and on Leo (HD2) and it might works on other HTC phones but the test is up to you. I do not think it can work on non-HTC phones.
AutoLight is a native application with a very low memory usage. On the other hand the Configurator requires Compact Framework 2 but it should be closed after the use.
The Configurator is designed for WVGA screens.
Install
Run AutoLight.cab and install in main memory (not in storage card), run AutoLight.Config.cab and install where you like, then softreset (this should also disable the native auto adjust backlight function, check for that in the Control Panel Power applet).
If you have previously installed autolight V2.x and want only upgrade to V2.4 without having your configuration reset to default use the Configurator to stop AutoLight. After that overwrite AutoLight.exe, ChangeLight.exe and AutoLightConfig.exe with the files you find inside AutoLight.zip and softreset.
Uninstall
To uninstall AutoLight use the Configurator to stop it, then use Remove Programs in Settings.
AutoLight can be also be stopped running the AutoLightStop utility.
To uninstall AutoLight Configurator use Remove Programs in Settings.
Configurator
AutoLight working depends on parameters it gets from registry. For details on parameters see AutoLight.reg.txt and AutoLigth.reg
The Configurator gives a more user friendly access to these parameters. Nevertheless, the configuration process is quite complex and should be done after thoroughly reading AutoLight.reg.txt.
The second tab of the Configurator contains a graphical representation of the calibration table used to convert light sensor to backlight values. Note that:
- the horizontal scale is not linear but goes according to square root of the light sensor value;
- the horizontal red segments represent the ranges of light sensor values assigned to every backlight level;
- the horizontal red segment whose backlight level is selected (with the control on top of the second tab) turns blue;
- the small rectangles connecting the segments are the hysteresis;
- the vertical blue line is the current light sensor value (only available when AutoLight is running);
- the horizontal blue line is the current backlight level (only available when AutoLight is running).
Freeze backlight command
When you use your phone in a rapidly changing light environment AutoLight keeps hunting the right backlight level. For example, this may happen using a GPS navigator inside a running car. The freeze backlight command solves this kind of problem by keeping the backlight level stable from the moment it is invoked.
To freeze the backlight level run ChangeLight.exe without any parameter. Using ChangeLight.exe and a hardware button mapper you can freeze the backlight level just pressing a button. From then on the backlight level remains stable until you run ChangeLight.exe again, power your phone off or change power from AC to battery or viceversa.
User offset change and increment/decrement backlight command
If you are not satisfied with the backlight level as computed by AutoLight you can add a positive or negative offset to it. The offset values, one for use when on battery and one for use when on AC power, can be entered using the Configurator.
Moreover, running ChangeLight.exe with parameter "/-" decrements backlight level by one, with parameter "/+" increments backlight level by one. The utility then adjusts current offset level accordingly. Using ChangeLight.exe and a hardware button mapper you can change backlight and offset without using the stylus.

USUAL LEGAL DISCLAIMER
Use AutoLight at your own risk! NO WARRANTY! Although running this application does not seem to produce any damage on my phone, I take no responsibility for any kind of damage or major or minor inconvenience caused to devices or data or person or whatever else due to this application and its usage.

I'm a bit confused. What exactly does this do?

How is this different than the excellent LUMOS?

i tried lumos & g-light and eventually got back to WM6 default autolight & its working pretty good.
how this app different/better than default autolight?
because its starting from level 1 not from 2?

Lumos (and G-Light) are not bad but they use Compact Framework even for the background always running process. Use a task manager to see how much memory they consume. Moreover, under stress condition (many running applications) a Compact Framework application can be forced to close.

Yes, because it starts from level 1, not 3 (at least on my Topaz is 3). Moreover, it's more configurable (if you are experienced enough to tweak the registry) and because with version 1.1 it can change backlight for different applications (details inside the zip).

Works well on WM 6.5

Cool, thanks for answering the questions. I'll try it out.

Version 1.1.1 posted.

Hi
It installs fine, it just does not affect the backlight at all.
Regards

Great App!!!
In the list of task process, autolight used 3.70kb. (very little).
I have one question, how work the battery consumption of the program? Comparing the original autobaklight or the third level of backlight?

The program only runs when the device is active and does very little (it mostly sleep) so it adds almost nothing to battery consumption.
Consumption due to backlight of course depends on external light. AutoLight is darker than original service at low light level but brighter at very high level.
If you want to aggressively save the battery you must change the calibration curve to keep lower backlight levels. Inside the zip you find details on the calibration curve and how change it (registry tweaking and patience are required).

If you are sure that the AutoLight.exe process is running and that the original autolight service is disabled (from the control panel power applet) I must suppose that your branded device is somewhat different enough from tha standard Topaz to prevent AutoLight working (maybe some extra security settings).

Do you plan to make configurator for those who do afraid to directly edit the registry?

I really do not have enough free time to write a decent configurator and I prefer to concentrate on the core functionality (I want to remove the "flash" on power on due to sensor setup).
On the other hand the program is free (and copyright free also) so if someone wants to write a configurator...

May be off the thread, but can you tell how much its possible to change light settings in direction of brightest level?
I have CMP (ComMangerPro) running at that excellent program control my light settings according to schedules and places. It could be rather cool to give more light when I have chosen the highest level?

[App]14.03.2011 SuperPower v0.80 Battery save:Data, Wi-Fi, BT, GPS, 2G/3G/4G, CPU mhz

THIS IS AN UNSUPPORTED EXPERIMENTAL BETA APPLICATION, BUGGY, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE USING.
About
SuperPower attempts to save battery power by controlling various power hungry components and features of the device. Its features include managment of the cellular data connection, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, CPU speed and 2G/3G band. It does all this automagically based on the options you configure.
There are more battery saver apps out there, but none that work the way I want them to. It is however meant to work relatively simply. If you want uber-fine-grained control use one or a combination of the other applications available.
SuperPower also serves as somewhat of an Android port of WMLongLife.
BETA, Development & Testing
This application is in beta stage and far from finished. There will be bugs, and the list of things that still need to added, changed, refactored, streamlineed, etc is long.
Primary testing and development is done on a Galaxy S (unbranded, EU, I9000) device, but I also run tests on a G1 and a Hero. Other users have reported it (mostly) works on the Droid, Milestone, Nexus, Desire, Pulse, EVO.
Android version
SuperPower requires Android 1.6 or newer. Some features require newer versions, and some features have a different code path on different Android versions.
For example, Bluetooth features require Android 2.0, while the download speed tracker (to not disable data while downloading) requires Android 2.2. Features are automatically disabled if they are not available for your Android version.
Main features
Control over
- Cellular data
- Wi-Fi
- WiMAX * Android 2.2+ *
- Bluetooth * Android 2.0+ *
- CPU speed * ROOT *
- Bands (2G/3G) * ROOT *
- GPS * ROOT, PATCH, Android 2.2+ *
- Auto-Sync
- Background data * ROOT, PATCH, Android 2.2+ *
Automatic management of the above based on
- Screen state
- Wi-Fi network connection state
- WiMAX network connection state
- Lock screen visibility state
- Download speed
- Foreground application
- Tethering state
- Sleep mode
- Low battery state
- Charging state
Other
- Schedule data connection to be available at certain times
- Schedule night mode
- Informative toasts in response to user actions
- Status bar notifications about the current state, which you can tap to change
- Provides handy shortcuts you can add to the home screen for easy access of a number of functions
Additional features
- Enable/disable data is non-persistent. APNs are not modified! This is no longer true on Gingerbread (2.3) and newer due to changes in Android security. Here either data is disabled entirely (Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile networks -> Use packet data, or APNs are modified (Access Point Names in the same menu).
- 2G/3G switching is supported in two different ways: RIL injection (highly experimental, any ROM, possible side effects) and Sidekick (AOSP ROMs signed with platform test keys, or using patching)
- Completely event based, no polling, ever.
Future features
I have a LOT of them already in my to-do list. However, if you have any ideas feel free to post them. To name a few that are already on my list: configuration wizard, widget, GPS control, mapper, signal-strength based 2G/3G. Of course improvement to current features, fixing bugs, etc are also on my (perpetual?) to-do list.

General: Will this prolong battery life ?
Quite probably, yes, significantly! BUT, there is never a guarantee. It all depends on how you use your device, the current conditions, and how you configure SuperPower. Some options in general save a lot of battery, but may be too inconvenient for you to use (specifically 2G/3G switching), and if you still want to use them, some playing with the various options may be needed to get it to work with the least amount of inconvenience to your usage pattern.
If you are a very heavy user, no amount of software is going to help you (much). You need a bigger battery (or a spare). If all you use your device for is streaming YouTube, chances are battery life improvements you will see are little to none.
CPU scaling may have less effect than expected. The amount of battery it saves has differed wildly between tests on different devices.
Using Wi-Fi may use significantly less power than using 2G/3G. Or, 2G/3G may use significantly less power than using Wi-Fi. It depends on the situation, the signal strength of both cellular and Wi-Fi, the transfer speed, etc.
Using 2G instead of 3G will generally speaking use less battery for most users, but this is not a given. It depends on the situation.
All in all however, the default SuperPower configuration will provide you with a setup that will save a lot of battery for the average user, with little to no inconvenience to the user.
General: I want feature X, but it isn't included
Feel free to request the feature in this thread, even if this feature is already listed in these posts that it will be implemented sooner or later. If feature X is posted about 10 times, and feature Y only 3 times, that may have an effect on the priority of implementation.
General: I expected X to happen, but Y happened
Please go through the entire configuration to make sure you haven't configured anything that causes this behaviour Y before posting here. Also read through this FAQ and the known issues. It is of course possible you have found an undocumented bug, if so please report it here (see "I found a bug")
General: I found a bug
If you post it here, perhaps we can do something about it. But first, please check your configuration first to make sure it is unexpected behaviour. When posting about a bug, always include the relevant SuperPower configuration options, exactly which device you are using, which ROM, etc. More information is usually better !
Data connections: The connection state changed, but didn't change back when I expected it to
In the default configuration, SuperPower will "upgrade" connection states as soon as possible, but general only "downgrade" them when you aren't looking.
For example, turning on data will be done as soon as you need it; while turning off data will generally be done only a while after the screen goes off. The same goes for for example 2G/3G. Switching to 3G will happen as soon as possible, switching to 2G will not be done immediately.
This does all depend on your SuperPower configuration, though!
System popups: The PIN screen pops up sometimes
On some devices certain actions can cause the PIN screen to popup when for example bandswitching or coming out of airplane mode.
If you enter your PIN code in the SuperPower configuration and you have such a device, SuperPower will attempt to automatically enter the PIN code for you - IF it understands it was one of SuperPower's actions that caused the PIN popup. An overlay screen will be presented to you while the PIN is entered and the SIM unlocked.
This is however an experimental feature, may not work 100% of the time, and can cause some inconvenience. If you find this highly annoying, but you do want to use the features SuperPower provides that may cause this behaviour, you can disable the PIN screen altogether in the device's settings application.
System popups: The lock screen pops up sometimes
Like the PIN screen, on some devices certain actions can cause the lock screen to popup. SuperPower actively counters this behaviour while it is performing actions. Should it still happen, please report it (and the exact situation that caused it), specific code that prevents this behaviour may need to be added to code in additional places.
2G/3G: A band switch is being performed even though I'm already in the mode it is switching to
It is not always possible to detect the current 2G/3G state. In that case, SuperPower will treat the current mode as undefined, and any trigger that will cause either 2G or 3G mode will result in a band switch being performed, regardless of what the current actual state may be. This is also a reason to not use the device's settings app (or any other app) to switch between 2G/3G when SuperPower is also using 2G/3G functionality. Always use SuperPower (and only SuperPower) to perform the band switch!
2G/3G: What is the difference between the RIL injection and the Sidekick method ?
RIL injection is as hackery as hacks come, and is currently only available for GSM devices. It completely circumvents most of Android and tries to force commands to be sent to the radio.
Sidekick on the other hand will use the same method as the device's settings screen to trigger a band switch, and is therefor both safer and faster to use. It does unfortunately require a compatible ROM. Carrier / manufaturer ROMs are usually not compatible, and not all custom ROMs are compatible either. Sidekick is available both on GSM as well as CDMA devices.
If your ROM is Sidekick compatible, Sidekick will always be used instead of RIL injection.
Both methods have not been extensively tested on a wide range of devices yet. So neither method may be compatible with your device. Please post here if neither method works on your device.
2G/3G: Even though I have root, the 2G/3G switching options are disabled (CDMA)
RIL injection is currently only supported on GSM devices. Only the Sidekick method supports CDMA at the moment.
2G/3G: Band switching takes too long, is this a bug ? Can it be improved ?
Band switching will take time, and inconvenience you. There is no way around this. The phone has to drop the network connection and completely reconnect to the tower.
However, in some cases it does take longer than in other cases. The Sidekick method provides the fastest band switching available, but is not compatible with many ROMs. If your ROM is compatible, though, Sidekick will be installed and used automatically instead of RIL injection.
When the RIL injection method is used (which will probably be for most users), band switching speed depends heavily on the device. Some devices are fairly quick with RIL injections, others are slow. If you have a device that requires your PIN code for operations such as band switching and coming out of airplane mode, band switching will also take significantly longer.
Depending on all these factors, band switching can take anywhere between 10 seconds and a minute. Band switching will usually save a lot of power, but you have to consider wether the extra battery life is worth the inconvenience.
2G/3G: I'm in 2G mode but my device switched back to 3G
Some devices are known to do this. If it happens to you, please post about it. An attempt a viable workaround is on the to-do list.
CPU: The device never wakes from sleep
Not all devices work perfectly with CPU scaling. If this happens, reboot your phone, go into SuperPower configuration, and switch the "ondemand" setting under "Root features". If that doesn't work, you'll just have to disable CPU scaling.
CPU: Using tool X shows me that CPU speed is never changed
The CPU speed cannot be easily changed on all devices. Some devices/firmwares are "perflocked". Disabling perflock is beyond the scope of SuperPower, and thus SuperPower will make no attempt to disable it. There are tools out there that can disable perflock on many devices that have it, for example, check out SetCPU.

Known issues
- IMPORTANT BUG - WARNING In various Android 2.1 (Eclair) builds there is a bug with push email. In case there is no data connection available, the background email service will go absolutely insane. It will use quite some CPU power constantly, and it will not let the device go to sleep - ever! I do not know if this bug existed before 2.1, and I have not seen the issue on 2.2 ROMs. If you are suffering from this, or suspect you are suffering from this, disable all the options in SuperPower to disable the cellular data connection.
- SuperUser: SuperPower does use a lot of root commands if you have root. You might want to configure SuperUser to not show toast notifications for every single request.
- State: Current state detection is not perfect yet and needs some improvements. I would advise trying to limit changing options in the application to times when Wi-Fi is off and you are in 3G mode as much as possible, just to be sure.
- Wi-Fi: Occasionally Wi-Fi and cellular data states will conflict, causing cellular data to be set to active when Wi-Fi is on. Happens sporadically.
- CPU Scaling: On the I9000 and family, you should (in my experience) enable the "ondemand" option if you are using CPU scaling. If you don't, and the device is in "suspend" mode, an incoming phonecall may crash the device.
- CPU Scaling: SuperPower makes no attempt to detect or disable perflock. If you have a perflocked device, you need to use SetCPU (or some other tool) to disable perflock on boot.
- CPU Scaling: SuperPower attempts to detect the possible CPU speed settings, and will choose the nearest value below half the maximum CPU speed as "low speed" frequency. The actual number chosen is stated in the description of the relevant option.
- CPU Scaling: I know some overclocked ROMs require the device to always be at this overclocked speed to prevent the device crashing during sleep. If you are using an overclocked ROM and encounter the "sleep of death", disable CPU Scaling.
- Roaming: SuperPower has not been tested while roaming at all. I suspect - but am by no means sure - there may be issues regarding the cellular data connection while roaming and you have set the device to disallow data entirely (while roaming). Let me know if you encounter any that seem directly related to roaming.
- Application specific: Applicatoin specific settings do not go into effect if the app is reached through the back-button, only if started through the launcher (or by some other app)
- Lock screen: Even if the "dont do ... while lockscreen visible" options are enabled, these actions may still happen if triggered by an application specific options
- 2G/3G: On some devices the device itself will automatically switch back to 3G, it will not stay in 2G for very long

14.10.2010 - v0.50 BETA - Initial release

Tested on the Moto Droid running CM6, works well tested some features

Thank you. Will also test your application.
Interesting for me is the function, turning of data connection when wifi is active because this month, I've only gprs speed.
My Galaxy S downloaded Asphalt through the Data Connection although wifi was available...and I did this 2 times -_-
One "error", maybe missconfigured: If the screen is off, and I turn it back on I've no network.
Even the network from my provider was not active. So there is no phone connection nor receiving sms possible.
When I turn the screen back on, it rapidly connects to my provider.
Maybe you can give me a hint what I missconfigured

great app, it is working very well for me. Turns off data connection when screen is off and turns on every 15 minutes for 2 minutes to allow autosync. Exactly what I need for power saving since with 2g only and no active auto-sync I am saving a LOT of power.

Works Excellently
Nice App on 2.2 JPM THX mate

will test it and report back to you
for now; THANKS

When you mean the network is not "active", do you have a "white circle with a line through it" icon ?
Do you have 2G/3G switching enabled ? The above is exactly what would happen if:
- You have enabled switch to 2G when screen goes off, and you turn on the device while the device is switching to 2G
- You have enabled switch to 3G when screen goes on
In both cases it is a temporary situation that takes about 10 seconds to resolve. Unfortunately switching between 2G and 3G takes time.

Thanks Chainfire. I will try this app and I’ll let you know if I find any bug or I got any suggest.
I really like the option to disable data when the screen is turned off, it’s very good for those who sometimes forget to deactivate 3G when. The only bad pint that I can see to this particular feature is that I could stop downloads of big files unless you have the screen always turned on. By the way I still really like that feature.

I guess you have something planned like a watchdog to see if there is any data transfer before stopping the connection. If thats the case I think it might be not so easy as some apps could be connected to the internet with very small data transfer. However, you are the expert on this.
I just tested in my SSGS with froyo 2.2 (JPM). I'm just using default options (disconnect data when the screen is turned off) and I have realised that when the data gets disconnected the phone makes a small vibration. It would be cool if we can avoid the vibration as it also spends some battery

Likely it will be related to the download speed itself, not sure yet though.

As stated in the first post the vibration is a debug option. It will be removed / turned off in a later version. Remember this is beta

I activated both options.
Ok, if this is intended behaviour and just happens if I switch the screen back on, than it's fine.

Note that if you turn off the "Automatic switch to 3G" option, SuperPower will switch to 3G when you start any of the programs selected in the "Applications requiring 3G" instead of every time you turn on your screen.

Wow this is great! I'll download and try when I upgrade to JPM this weekend! Nice to see a great Dev working on the SGS!

Nice app mate thanks, look forward to more development. And damn you have TONS of phones, mind giving us a HD2? haha.

its like the app 'dont touch my droid'. i like this ui better though, and it has a few more features.

really like this app, works great.....thanks for sharing....

Thanks, I had an app like this for one of my Nokias. I know I will enjoy it.

Hello all,
I am trying to figure out 3 comments in market stating that Jolt is not working in sleep mode. So if anyone wants to help please just post here or pm me your device, rom and whether jolt is working or not in sleep / standby mode. If it is not working a logcat copy would be very helpful.
So far I have tested it and it is working for sure on the following devices:
Desire (stock rom, oxygen, devnul), Desire S, Wildfire, SE x10 Mini, Galaxy Tab
Three comments in market suggest that it might not work in sleep mode on:
Evo 4G (CM7), Atrix 4G and ZTE Blade.
Thanks,
George
PS. Version 1.3.5 is coming soon with new feature of choosing arming delay.

New Version is out:
I have just uploaded a new version to the market:
The main new features are:
New option to pause alarm during incoming calls
Option to work in sleep mode removed as this now always on
New slider to select activation delay
Better support for some devices that had problem working in sleep mode
Added a simple activation countdown
Most phones should now work in sleep / standby mode. Unfortunetely a few will still turn off accelerometer when the screen goes off. Please report to me your device and android verion if you have such a phone.
Thanks for your support,
George

Minor Update
Thanks to MobileWon I' ve discovered an IntentReceiver leak. Update is available on market.
Thanks all for your feedback
PS. You can find tips on facebook Jolt page

to Dev.
any chances of this being openSource?

[ROM][Googlecode release] version 23.08.2011 r167 (DEPRECATED)

Hi guys,
it's been a while we didnt released update, sorry for that.
the project is not dead, it's just that it's taking a lot of time and you know it's vacation time, even for devs
hopefully munjeni/derefas published great versions and the fact that we share source code help to share fixes between versions.
so here is the new version of the day, featuring Froyo 2.2
Link to download:
http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/downloads/list
What's new?
What's new versus 10/07/2011 version:
- gps.conf updated for fast GPS [from xda]
- telephony.db updated (fix some users not having 3G working)
- timeswitch workaround [by r0bin]
- g-sensor calibration fix [by r0bin]
- usb/ac cable detection fix [by r0bin]
- battery driver updated [by r0bin]
- headset sound fix (voice + mp3) [by r0bin]
- overclocking/underclocking capabilities [from ladios]
- light sensor fix [by cardsharing]
- usb stability [by cardsharing]
- headset audio glitch [by r0bin]
- camera snapshot fix [by cardsharing]
- power saving mode (better battery life) [by schlund]
- touchscreen calibration [by schlund]
Enjoy and as usual, feel free to report any bug or issue you might have on this new version!
Note for people updating their existing system:
/!\ Make sure to do a backup in any case (titanium backup seems to work well)
if you are using [10/07/2011 r134++] from google page:
Lucky you, you dont need to format your SD card or delete apps or whatever:
Just overwrite everything exept system.ext2, run haret as usual and you are good to go!
if you are using munjeni release:
you can try to do the same: overwrite everything exept system.ext2, run haret and see if it still works
if your android is not working well after partial update:
then you will have to do a full upgrade. use a backup program (titanium or other) and enjoy!

Thank you very Much! Robin & devs, you're great Developer!
I will try...

Thanks Robin
But so far not solved the problem of Arabic language support

cool job man! but my GPRS doesn't connect! it was working before upgrading to this version! i was using 10/07/2011 r134++ with updates...

for those which gprs and wifi is not working, have you placed the "update" folder at the root of your sdcard?

Thanks for r167!
All good, only i noticed high drain of battery here (up to 240mA instead ~150 earlier).
-----
Planned to fix audio in the headset (now there is no stereo)?

Thank you!
The software is working, just I still having bluetooth problem.
Keep up the good work!

Tks for the great works
1. the battery works better
2. it seems that FM works sometimes, making sounds at least, and change to another channel automatic, hope it would be fixed soon.
3. headset is working, but Audio is mono
4. some software can not be installed, like TTS Voice library
5. Echo problem on the other side when phoning in or out, while it's normal on my side.

[APP][2.2+ v1.4.2]CleverConnectivity: Manage connectivity w/o stopping streaming/dl

Hello everyone!
I was searching for a connectivity (3G/Wifi) manager that will allow to save some juice without sacrificing my habits.
I couldn't find something that fulfilled exactly my needs so as a curious IT engineer I decided to develop my first android application.
CleverConnectivity is an application that helps you to manage your data and wifi connection in order to save battery.
NO ROOT IS NEEDED.
How does CleverConnectivity work?
This application will automatically turn on and off connectivity (data/wifi/sync) while screen is OFF.
For example if the user chooses below configuration:
Time On: 2min
Time On Next Check: 1min
Time Off: 10m
Usage check Interval: 3s
Once the screen is OFF, CleverConnectivity will keep connectivity alive for 2min. Then it will check if data is used during a period of 3s.
If data is used, connectivity will be kept for 1 minute (Time On Next Check).
If data is NOT used, connectivity will be desactivated for 10min. After this, the connectivity will be re-activated and Time On will kick in.
Once screen is ON, connectivity will be automatically re-enabled.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Details of features:
- Configuration of ON-OFF cycle (Time On, Time Off, Usage Interval Period)
- Disable/Enable connectivity (Wifi/Data/Sync)
- Enable/disable management of Data/Wifi/Sync connectivity
- Sleep Hours: During these hours, all connectivity will desactivated one screen is OFF
- Possibility to turn off bluetooth during sleep hours
- Auto Wifi-Off: Wifi will be disabled after after a defined period if screen is OFF and no known networks are available
- Auto Wifi-On: Wifi will be enabled once a known network is availaible
- Check Wifi internet connection: Will check if the wifi is able to connect to the internet before connecting to it
- Possibility to read logs generated by the app
- Possibility to deactivate the app while the phone is plugged. The ON-OFF cycle will resume once the phone is unplugged.
- "Screen On Connectivity Delay" which delays the moment where connectivites are re-enabled when screen is turned on
- Possibility to manage connectivity per app
- Shortcut can be created to enable/disable CConnectivity
- Possibility to turn on/off permanent notification
- Switch 2G/3G (for cyanogenmod based roms only)
How does this CleverConnectivity is different from its concurrents:
- You can turn on/off connectivity (wifi/data/sync) everywhere in the system (settings, toggles on notification bar...) and will be taken into consideration by CleverConnectivity
- CleverConnectivity can check data usage before disable it. Therefore your downloads/streaming won't be stopped
- It's very lightweight and efficient. You just have to install it and configure it and then forget it. It will do it work silently and efficiently.
- It's free! It contains all features of the paid version. The only difference is the presence of ads. If you want to support me, then you can buy the no ads version.

GOoD App

Giving this a try to see if it gets even more life out of my nexus 4. Thanks and good work! I'll drop a review on the Play Store after some evaluation time.

I thought this is the app that I've been looking for.
I'll try your app, and I'll buy the paid version to support you if this app exactly the same what I searching for.:thumbup:
Thanks.

So is there a way to 'start' this app or it automatically runs when installed on the phone?

Could this be the solution to the Achilles' heel of Wi-Fi calling? Going out of hotspot range drops the call... would this app allow a soft handover to 3G? The carriers will LOVE you...

Can one just use the connectivity timer On/Off settings (for turning data and wifi off during the night) and ignore all the other settings? Not checking them? If so, what would one put in the "time on", "time off" and "usage check interval" fields? Thanks

I dunno who wrote the description on the XDA front page, but from what I see the functionality of this app is not exactly what's indicated there imho.
Ask any smartphone or tablet user how would their life be without Internet access, and the answer would certainly not be a happy one in most cases. We use these devices to stay connected to the rest of the world using WiFi wherever and cellular data. However, switching between these two can become a hassle, especially if you are frequently moving around between WiFi coverage areas and areas where you must switch to your data connection. Frustrated with this issue, XDA Forum Member gyagapen decided to build his first Android app to address this problem, and shared the fruit of his labor with us in form of CleverConnectivity.
The app intelligently manages switching between both your WiFi and 3G data connections as you move about, but that’s not all. The killer feature of the app is that it also makes sure your ongoing downloads and media streams aren’t interrupted due to the switching! And guess what? This is only the start of the list of features boasted by the app.
The app is available as both a fully functional but ad-supported free version, and an ad-free paid version. You can find more details, the complete feature list, and the Play Store links in the forum thread.

What?

I see it say 3g,but does it work on 4g as well?

Testing it on my Note. Sounds like a very useful app.

The paid app version is down. It's not that the URL is bad, it looks like it has been pulled from the server. I clicked the link from the play store on the free app version and got the same thing

Can one just use the connectivity timer On/Off settings (for turning data and wifi off during the night) and ignore all the other settings? Not checking them? If so, what would one put in the "time on", "time off" and "usage check interval" fields? Thanks

If you don't want the app to check data usage before turning off connectivity, just input 0 to the usage check interval.
If you want to keep Wi-Fi and data off during the night, you can check only the sleep hours checkbox and leave all the others checkbox unchecked. It should work. The timers values are only use for Wi-Fi manager and data manager, so you can input any values if you don't use them.

I dunno who wrote the description on the XDA front page, but from what I see the functionality of this app is not exactly what's indicated there imho.
What?

My app only disable wifi if your are away from known networks for too long (Auto-Wifi Off), but it won't reconnect when you are back to wifi coverage (I think checking this will consume too much battery).
However, all the part about checking data usage is exact.

It should also work with 4g, but as I don't have a 4g capable phone I can't test, please report here if you have any issue.

Hi,
Your application seems to be nice!
I've installed it on my Galaxy Ace 2 without problem to see more about it.
I've a couple of question:
1 Have you an idea of the battery consumption gain with this application ?
2 There is in the application a log running continuously. Is it for debugging purpose ? is it possible to disable it ?
Thanks for your efforts
Best regards

A quick question,
My phone is quite data-active in the background. Many times I need to keep data on for incoming email or some syncing such as a few songs from my Subsonic server. Is there a function to switch 3G/2G instead of turning it off?

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback, please find below answers to your question:
1) I have monitored battery consumption with battery monitor widget.
Here are my results for the night
Here it's for the day
2) I have still some work to do with logs. I will add an option to disable them.
Regards.

Nothing wrong with your app, but the guy who wrote that post certainly has some comprehension problems.
It's written as if your app can handle switching of networks mid downloads. Oh well....
