Green Power Compatibility with Nexus S?

Hi people,
Recently went to the market, and I tried downloading Green Power. It claimed to be able to work with 2.3.3
However, I don't see it toggling 3G automatically.
Has anyone managed to get it working?

If you are connected to a wireless network the app doesn't use your data connection. Try running the app with your wireless off or turn off your router. You'll see it working then.

Huh I thought the main objective of the app is to turn off the 3G when its not in use?
What's the point of turning off the wifi or router?

I use an app called "Network Switcher" which seems to work well on my Nexus S

I got this yesterday it does switch off the 3g so I think its been working. Although there were a few times when I switch RH screen on and off too quickly that it takes 10 seconds o so before 3g comes back
So far its been good using greenpower can update later

The reason I said to turn off wifi/router was so he could see if the app was turning on/off his 3g connection properly; that being his question

Alright its been a few days and I can safely say that green power is working out awesome for me
If I just leave the phone alone it last a lot longer I'd estimate it to using around 10-20% battery judging by the percentage reported by the phone

[Q] Fake wifi?

Is it possible to make your phone on wifi without actually being on wifi and using the phones connection

Honestly, not even sure what you are asking. Why do you want to appear connected to a Wi-Fi connection if you are on anything but Wi-Fi? Am I understanding this correctly? Either you are on: 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, etc. when connecting to data/network. Can you please elaborate more on what it is that you are wanting/asking?

I was trying to use video chat on the road and it told me i had to have wifi. I have 4g and i conveniently had my gfs phone to use as a hotspot but i was just wondering if she wasn't there i would have to stop somewhere with free wifi

True, video chat apps most likely will require a Wi-Fi connection in order to perform.

So i figure that there would b someone who knows a way to manipulate it

You can always try one of the many apps from the Market: Skype, Tango, ooVoo, Qik, etc... see if one of these works for what you are trying to do.

I used vtok that works without wifi thanks

I think what you mean is something like 3G un-restrictor like for iPhone.

Yes thats exactly what i ment

Unable to download/update apps while screen is off

I am unable to download/update apps while screen is off. This is happening on both wife and 3g. I have verified wifi advanced settings and wifi is set to always on during sleep.
For ex. Suppose I have 4 apps which got update in play store. If I hit update all button the download will start but the rest of the apps stop updating as soon as the screen turns off. I have to keep my screen set to on to update all the apps. Does any one also has similar problem?
My mobile is on stock ICS and unrooted. Please help me.

I guess this can be attributed to your phone going in deep sleep mode but a little too early

And when the screen turns on, do the updates resume?

It's a bit extreme but do a factory reset. There's nothing obviously wrong with your setup and you're all stock. I guess some bug has crept in due to some app you're using.

Go into wifi settings and then press the menu key. Go into advanced settings and set wifi on while sleep to always. Problem is wifi is turning off when your screen turns off. This will stop this from happening.

But the OP says he has already checked the advanced settings.

Maybe there is a Smartrule set that is turning off wifi when the screen goes off. Should check active Smartrules also.

Maybe you should take a look at your router. Settings, etc. Difficult to say what's causing the issue.

Are u using any battery saver app?

I don't think it is problem with my router settings..because it is working on other android devices (Nexus S and Galaxy Y) in my home.

I had this issue and as Jboxer mentioned it was indeed the advanced wifi sleep settings however in your case since all options are now tried out and you say the wifi sleep settings are also in place, best bet as Athani suggested would be to do a factory reset.

I'm using CM10, and so far it's been great. I've had no problems. One feature I like the most is that you can respond to texts when you're not even on the MMS app.

Almost 3 full days. Not a single sleep of death. Battery life is on par with cm9. My only issue is a slight lag when unlocking the screen (about a quarter of a second)
It's a daily driver.

I find battery usage the biggest problem, can't even manage to make a half day with 3G data connection ON.
Web usage may be limited to max of 2hours. CM9 was better for battery for me could get a day with moderate usage.
Any body facing similar problem to me ? :banghead:

CM9 did not have Google Now, turn that off and you will see a huge difference.

Details? When did it stop working, did you get any errors, what was the last thing that you did, etc.

My wifi has also stopped working, frequently it keeps cutting out but doesnt disconnect. To the point where I have to keep switching the wifi off then on again.. these are quite regular intervals as well and I cant understand why
