[Q] App to turn 3g on when Internet Browser is started?

Hi,
I have Galaxy S I9000 Froyo update (German version) and would like to know if there is an app on the market (free or paid version) which would keep 2G Net connection and would switch to 3G Net (UMTS) only when one other app looks actively for data in Internet.
The reason for this is that I do not need to check e-mails regularly or as a push version (I'd rather do this manually) and do not need syncing with my google account on regular basis (once a day I can do manually something like this).
I would hope that an app like this would save me a lot of battery time.
If there is a way to do this on Galaxy I9000, please let me know.
At the moment I use APN on/off switch to achieve this, but an automated version (which would react to starting an Internet app such as Opera, Market, E-Mail app etc.) would be VERY nice
Thanx in advance for any and all info/suggestions,
Pavana
P.S. Yes, I did use search function but after wasting some 6 hours of reading all postings non of which came close to my wishes I gave up.

you can use tasker to do that

(to turn 3g or WLan on when a specific app is started: Internet browser or Market and turn it off when the app is killed).
I am sorry, but you have to deal with a complete idiot here: I bought the tasker
but after several days of trying to do it - I was not able to do this.
Could some "good, sweet soul" help me waste no more of my "quality time with my family" with simple introduction on how to do it?
My tasker is still a virgin - no tasks, I have I9000 International edition.
Thanks in advance.

I have 2 ideas.
Hi.
I have 2 ideas (requests?).
1. Like a monolingal which is a OSX's program. It will keep some locales which we chosed and delete the other languages.
2. Additional Locale. not like a morelocale2 and so on. additional locale which device have not (not hidden). Normaly, it's too difficult for noob ( I heard specilist can add locale).
Cheers.

another idea: an app that turn screen on a black screen and the icon of notification whenever notification come up (and screen is turn off of course). can you?

An app that lets me see the history of my notifications, even those i've already seen

Game porting
An app for porting armv7 games to armv6. Basically, modifying the .lib files. Also resizing the drawable and re positioning it to fit other resolutions in proportion.

I'm trying to make one myself but can't figure it out.

i was planning on making an app called Floating Dock, it was a redesigned mac OSX doc for android, on the home screen the dock would be there, but anywhere else to access the dock you needed to slide up, but i dont have the time to make it, i actually only finished the dock icon so if you would like you could continue that?

How about an app that modifies the original Samsung keyboard to allow text shortcuts (i.e. when "u" is typed it automatically replaces it with "you")

I found perfect site for creating apps...Yesterday I ended up on some site called apps-machine.com . I have to share it with you guys. I started creating my own app and after 15 minutes clicking on their control panel(no programming,just clicks) I made app in what user could make effects on their photos,paint photos,play music,play videos,have notepad,chat and stream music. They got literally 1000's of features on their control panel I think this could be a gold mine And I read something that they have free app development and so on. Aaand you can change everything all the backgrounds,colors,tabs...and you instantly see it on that same page through their simulator..don't know how they managed to do that but it is super handy...I am super excited at the moment..time to get some apps on apple and play store

sadly, yes

future development
Tried it. It's really nice. Similar to the app i used on pc. But i hope future updates include a working phone book so we don't have to type from time to time. And i hope theres a history so when eve we refresh, our sms would still be there and we don't have to type again. Tnx for the app. #pacquiaoforlife \m/

[Q] how to force auto-update specific apps @ predefined timings?

as above - for example, some apps only allow auto-update every 12 hours. what i want to achieve is - to have all my news feeds/emails/evernote synced and updated before I leave house in the morning (so we can tap on the WIFI instead of 4G). is there an app I could use to achieve that?
Thanks!

what I need : auto-update at fixed timings - e.g. every 7am and 10pm.
what i need #2 : do this for every app (e.g. Evernote/feedly/Gcal/facebook/flipboard)

[APP] [BETA] Phone Usage Monitor

Hello,
I want present my new app. that is in beta stage but fully functional: Phone usage monitor.
With this app you will be able to know when and how much you use your device and the apps that you have in it.
Please, report issues, if any, and suggest more events to monitorize.
Thanks
Play Store Description
Are you obsessed with your phone?
Up to what point?
Do you want to be aware of which apps are the most used?
Do you want to know what WiFi networks you connect to and at what time?
When are your applications updated?
Do you want to know if your phone suffers a expontaneous reboot or when you turn on or off the screen?
You need this app and you know it!

Looking good! An option to exclude certain apps like Nova Launcher would be nice.

Thanks for the suggestion. Great idea!

It would also be nice to be able to monitor a remote phone (opening up the app to for parental monitoring for example).
This could be achieved by either allowing to :
- send a daily report by mail
- having a client app with data synced whenever a connection is avaialable
- sending data to a central server
...

anyway to export the data as .csv ?

Hello, thanks for app!
Any chance to remove "full network access" from permissions in future ?

Heya! Congrats on making the portal. Good stuff you got there.
Here's some suggestions for the intro texts:
Part 1 - Current
"Do you want to know how do you use your smartphone?
You have installed this app, so the answer will surely be affirmative.
With this app you can know with what apps you lose your time; time which you could lose living your real life..."
Part 1 - Suggested
"Would you like to know how you use your smartphone?
Well, as you've already installed this app, that'll be an affirmative!
By gathering statistics about your apps with Phone Usage Monitor, you'll know where your precious time is creeping off to. Time you might want to spend on living your real life..."
Part 1 - Motivation
The second "do" doesn't really have a function in the first sentence and I made it a bit softer to make a more friendly first impression. I mentioned the app's name to remind the user what's going to help them (branding, be proud of your creation). I stayed true to your intention, the reference to 'real life', but made that a bit softer as well by using "might" and not mentioning a negative word like "lose". We're all winners here!
Part 2 - Current
"To let us know this information we will run a service in the background to monitor the use you make of your smartphone.
Quiet!, it will not consume more than a little bit of the precious battery of your mobile..."
Part 2 - Suggested
"You're probably wondering how much battery this app will consume. Don't worry, just a tiny bit.
Think about the time you will save after gaining all this usage intel. You won't even need as much battery anymore."
Part 2 - Motivation
Shouting "Quiet!" doesn't come across very friendly. There's also never a comma after an exclamation mark. I wrote the text to match the battery icon better. I'm also pushing the major goal of the app forward.
Part 3 - Current
"We will give you more information if you let us see how do you use the apps in your device..."
Part 3 - Suggested
"Sorry to bother you but I will need some usage access in order to provide you with all these awesome statistics. Is that okay with you?"
Part 3 - Motivation
"let us see" gives the impression multiple people or a company will be watching along, which totally isn't the case. I wrote it a bit more personal, fun and friendly.
Part 4 - Current
"Do not worry!
The data we collect is NOT sent anywhere."
Part 4 - Suggested
"Do not worry!
The data I collect is NOT sent anywhere."
Part 4 - Motivation
As in part 3, It's better to speak from a first person point of view, "I" instead of "we". It's just the app and the user, "you and me", which is a more comforting thought.
Instead of "START APP" I'd use something more vivid like "Lets go!" or "Show me some numbers!" or "Start saving time!"
The UDPA looks good, people are used to not reading these disclaimers and accepting them anyway. It's also a nice reminder that even if there is a "we", it's literally stating no personal data will be collected on any server. Kudos! :highfive:
I personally don't like the last paragraph but ah well, one has to make a living, right?
Looking forward to those stats...

Sorry, but Internet permission is needed to display Ads.
I understand that you do not believe in my word when I say that I am not sending data anywhere, but I need to access the Internet to load the Ads

Crashing
Hi,. Unfortunately the app crashes every time I open it on my OnePlus 6 that runs Android 9. The first time run screens work fine and permissions are assigned ok but then I can't open the app. I have tried clearing the storage/cache and that hasn't helped. Any ideas what to try next please?

Hi
Assuming you're rooted, please, post a logcat or send by email.
Thanks
