Auto Pilot Mode
Current Version: 8.00
Auto Pilot Mode is a very lightweight tool to enable airplane mode. Battery rapidly drained when the phone is out of service/signal and tried to search for a signal to use. In order to prevent this battery drain, Auto Pilot Mode will detect when the signal is below a certain threshold. Once this threshold is met, airplane mode will be turned on for a specified amount of time. After this time, airplane mode is disabled and the checking process repeats.
Settings/Features Explained
Scheduling System - Automatically changes thresholds and times according to a schedule set by you (Great for when you sleep)
Threshold - This slider will determine the threshold of the signal. If the signal falls at or below this threshold, airplane mode is put into queue.
Pending Time - Specifies how long airplane mode is in queue for after the signal falls below threshold.
Airplane Time - Specifies how long airplane mode should be enabled before performing another check.
3G/4G Basic Detection - First step toward mobile data support, checks whether you are connected to a network or not
Ignore If Charging - If the phone is charging, ignore the status of signal and never enable airplane mode
Only Disable Cell Service - When airplane mode is enabled, WiFi, Bluetooth, and all other forms of communication are untouched
Start on Boot - Start the service automatically when the phone boots on.
Prevent Call Drop - If you are receiving or initialing a call, the service is paused and airplane mode is not toggled until the call is finished.
Maintain User Airplane Mode - Keeps user toggled airplane mode until user manually disables airplane mode.
Hide Status Bar Icon - Hides the icon in the status bar
Remove Notification Buttons - Removes buttons from the notification
Display More Info In Notifications - Adds more information to the notification
Send Feedback - Allows users to send feedback to the developer. (Found in the menu)
Help Option - Explanations of each settings

Please leave a review and rate the app! Thank You!
This is pretty awesome. There's not much service where I live, so this actually keeps my phone alive a little longer.
status bar icon
is it possible a option can be added that the app icon can be disabled in status bar.?
I've been trying to do this with Tasker and I haven't been able to make it work reliably, this app just made things simple!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
finally..
I love this mind of app...
Thanks very much..
I install it,test and report my experience..
this is definitely one of those apps that just makes you go wow I wonder why no one thought of this earlier.
As a person who likes to travel and often 2 wheels on back roads with sometime sketchy service this app will be appreciated.

and if i may suggest please also add option to hide notification icon on status bar, aka app service will running on background..
Thanks and Regards
useful, try it, and the result is... 10/10 :good::good::good::good:
awesome
such a great idea and i hope it gets integrated into CM
i test it and it's works perfectly..on all my phones..N5,Lg P880,hd2 and ideos...
thanks again..
I would suggest to you if it's possible add an option that search signal (when aero mode is enable) on screen on,even bypassing timer..So when i wake up my phone automatically autopilot search signal if aero mode is on...

4G LTE
Any plans to add 4G/LTE support? The app seems to work great except when I'm connected to LTE. It seems to think I am out of service and enables airplane mode even when my LTE reception is great. On a Moto X on AT&T. Also the Moto X uses on screen keys, your app states that there is a menu but I can not access it as you don't have the 3 dots or hamburger menu for people without that key.

In my mind Google has become evil, Everywhere I travel, Google shuts down my Gmail account until I manually log in and admit that I am in that location. I don't think I am on any Govt surveillance list. Here is the latest mail I got from them, just a few days ago:

Very interesting app !! Indeed one of those functionalities that really should have come pre-built in the OS.
I have just installed it, and thus haven't had a chance to test it myself - although I have no doubt it will work as advertised.
A few ideas for improvement come to mind immediately though:
1.) As others have already asked: an option to remove the status bar icon. Also, when an icon is present in the status bar and thus there is an entry in the notification queue, tapping on the notification message should have some useful purpose, like opening the app. Currently, tapping on the notification message doesn't seem to be doing anything.
2.) As others also have noted: for a user, it is a bit unclear what would be good threshold values. We rely on the developer to provide us with sensible initial/default values. Are GSM:3 and CDMA:-113 the best choices ? If so, it might be good to indicate in the app description that the app comes with sensible defaults. Also, a "restore thresholds to default values" button or menu item might be a useful addition.
3.) The option to restore WiFi is a nice bonus. However, the underlying issue is that the problem the app wants to address really doesn't require Airplane Mode, strictly speaking it only requires the cell radio to be shut down.
a.) Why would you even want to do that ? One might be in an area with really bad cell service, but still have access to a WiFi network (e.g. in a hotel in a very remote area, but even in cities: my battery sometimes drains just from being in a building with a special type of walls).
b.) And is it even technically possible ? This app (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=the.radioshutoff) is able to do it, and I can personally vouch that it works as advertised. Note that it may not be possible on all devices, as I suspect the different radios are integrated tighter in some devices than in others. That probably accounts for the very dichotomous ratings for that app.
Do you think you could implement this into your app ? The downside is that you might have to rename it ...
Anyway, this seems like a very useful little app with a lot of potential. Thanks for releasing it !! :good:
I have being using this for a few hours and it seems to be working well at switching to aeroplane mode when the mobile signal is poor.
However it also seems to have switched off my wifi on a couple of occasions. Anyone else encounter this?

I have debated whether to implement this on release and now that there has been a lot of talk, I will add an option to remove the icon on the status bar. I initially hoped to keep the icon there to remind users the app/service is running.

It has become clear to me that my app is a little on the confusing side. The CDMA Threshold slider is measured in -dBm, I just removed the "-". Also, the app does run in the background. Although it is considered "Perceptible", if Android is running low on memory and stops Auto Pilot Mode to release memory, Auto Pilot Mode will be able to automatically restart after memory becomes available by Android; however, I will look into checking the status of the app.

Adding this app as an apk file to this thread will not help in future releases because I will be implementing Google's In-App Purchasing. It is required for the user to be linked to their Google Account in order to purchase from an app.

It is impossible to search for a signal if Airplane Mode is enabled. Airplane mode disables all communication radios and does not receive or send any information.

My testing has been limited to only 2G, however, I will try my best to implement 3G and 4G detection as soon as possible. I will also add a menu button to the app.

Android versions above 4.1 should open the app when you touch the notification and not the buttons. Android versions 4.1 and below should toggle the service on and off if the notification is touched because there is not support for buttons in notifications until Android 4.2+. I has quickly come known to me that my app is rather confusing. I will attempt to write a more in-depth description and have an tutorial option in the menu. Lastly, I will look into better ways to implement what I am trying to do in a more effective manner.

The "Recover WiFi" option will only re-enable wifi if the wifi was on before airplane mode was enabled. If this isn't happening, send me an email with more information regarding your situation.
Thank you all for the feedback! It is greatly appreciated!!!
First off, thanks for the feedback on the feedback !!

Your last sentence is an understandable concern, but the reality is that this kind of app ideally is one of those set-and-forget services. Many users (especially the kind that can be found on XDA) may have up to 10 of those apps/services running and icons for all of them would drawn out the true notifications. Even on a desktop PC, where there is much more screen estate, Windows 7 has the option to hide individual status bar icons. Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings there

I installed it on a phone with 4.0 ICS and indeed, touching the notification toggles the services, I simply didn't notice it before. Would it be difficult to implement that upon toggling, the icon changes color ? e.g. a gray icon when the service isn't running. That might be a useful improvement for those wishing to keep the notification icon.

UPDATE: Potential work arounds for folks having problem in sleep policies not working correctly have been put in version 1.2.0 onwards. Please redownload to test and let me know. Read this for more details.
IMPORTANT: If you are having wi-fi issues in sleep even after using this app, please let me know the following
1. Device/Phone Name and Rom version
2. What is the app version that you have?
3. Did you try all the combinations of various workarounds in the advanced options?
4. Can you please enable logging in the advanced options and send me logcat dump for this duration
I did an app to change the wi-fi sleep policy quickly so that you can control whether wi-fi is disconnected or not whenever screen turns off. What's more is that I also did a widget for it, so you can just tap on it to cycle through the various sleep policies.
I hope this can help some people out who get frustrated when their download breaks off as the screen goes down or worse, it switches to slow and expensive mobile data connection which runs your account balance down in a jiffy before you realize it..
You can look for more details on this page (and also report any bugs or suggestions):
Android Wi-Fi Keep Alive
Just try out this app by searching for "wi-fi keep alive" in market or scanning this barcode:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note: Many would wonder what would be the need of this app when we have a setting for this built-in in android. These are the reasons:
Yes, that is true but as I mentioned earlier in the thread. The reasons to do this app are:
1. Quick access. The setting for this is buried too deep and I wouldn't like to have this set to "never" (e.g.) all the time. I'd like to do it in a tap whenever I'm doing something that doesn't require me to look at the screen but wi-fi needs to be on. You can just tap on the widget and on you go. Otherwise you have most of the settings anyways in Android (for wi-fi/gps/sync/etc), why would you need widgets for them?
2. The android in-built settings don't work always. Although the app provides pretty much the same options to the user as the in-built setting provides but I'm trying to include work-arounds in the back end that would really make it work.
TODO/Coming Soon
* Configurable pinging interval
* Suggestions welcome
Known Issues:
1) Known issue with “on when plugged in” policy is that if you are already plugged in while changing anything in the app, workarounds don’t take place until you plug out and plug in again
2) This is not a known issue with the app but with wi-fi on some devices itself that it stops working on leaving it idle even if the phone is not sleeping. This is not the purview of this particular app and it might not solve it, although few folks say that this app helps in this scenario as well.
3) Some routers/settings are also known to cause issues with wi-fi in sleep. The correct pattern has not been identified yet but many people report that they can stay connected to wi-fi in sleep with some routers but with other routers, it fails. (Work Around 3 might help in such cases but not always)
4) While adding widget, the main app screen will pop-up for widget configuration. You need to choose any one policy (even if desired one already selected) otherwise widget will not be added
Notes:
1) Please press Menu key in the app and select “Help” to see details about policy and workaround options.
2) Please report any bugs here along with the above mentioned details (labeled IMPORTANT so that i can fix the issues.
Changelog:

But the "never sleep" option never work for me. For example, with the setting "Never" on, when I tried to transfer file over wifi with SwiFTP, the transfer will stop at the moment the phone screen is off, and I hv to unlock the screen again to resume the transfer. Same thing happens to Market download.
I m running stock nonroot Nexus One Froyo FRF83. Solution for me now is using screebl lite and hold the phone to keep the screen on until the transfer is done... a pain in the ass.....
Just installed and tried the app: I tried copying a 300MB video file from phone to PC over wifi via SwiFTP, the transfer stop a bit after the screen is off, still hv to unlock the screen to allow the transfer continue.... Thanks for the effort though, this is really bugging me and I hope at some point the "never sleep" policy will actually work.
Thanks guys, for trying out the app..yeah this setting is available pretty deep into the menus but my reason of doing this app was:
1. To make it quick (especially through widget)
2. To really make it work..
The first release essentially takes care of the first point.. However to take care of the concerns pointed out, like by lou and flybyme, I'm adding some more workarounds to it to keep wi-fi working.. I'll probably have some more news for you guys around weekend
Yes, thats a bad bug on NexusOne.
I can't stream Music to the phone. When screens getting off, the stream stops.
Very bad.
Make a pingtest to your phone.
With screen on, everything is fine, screen off it went crazy.
No Dev here, who can make changes to this?

I have a couple of workarounds that are working.. but I still need to do a lot of work to make them optimal. Will be released soon in 1.2.0
The other thing that compounds the problem is that apart from the phone itself, there is a lot dependent on the routers as well.. That part I'm still trying to figure out a workaround for..
Thank you, sounds good ;-)

Your right, this is a standard feature android has had for a long time. Basically going to setting>wireless & networks>Wi-Fi settings>press menu> select advanced>Wi-Fi sleep policy> select from these options "when screen turns off", "never when plugged in", "never"
Of course by selecting "never" your wifi never disconnects while your phone sleeps.

+1 here with that Problem on Nexus One.
I tried many ROMs (CM, MCR......), every Radio and some "WiFi Alive"-Apps on the Market (They are developed for Android 1.5) and NOTHING changed the Situtation:
Music-Streams always disconnect when the Phone goes into Stand-by. It's horrible. There are some Posts from different People about this Problem in the ROM-Threads from Cyanogen & Co but it seems most of the People dont have this Issue so its not recognized by the Devs?
Same problem here. I'm trying to stream shoutcast radio stations with Xiialive, but it's buffering all the time as soon as the screen turns off :-( ...htc desire
Guys, could you help me a bit in figuring out the solutions..
Please also report the ROM you are using if it doesn't work for you..

Since the initial release on Aug 2010 as the first one click instant access app and its super unique always available design , Smart Taskbar has became the origin of several similar one click instant access app in Android Market today. Today, after more than 6 month of beta testing, I am proud to announce that Smart Taskbar is finally going to V1.0.0 stage. V1.0.0 is more stable, faster, more feature packed and also more visually appealing than its previous - beta testing product.
Smart Taskbar is a - super launcher, task switcher, an app organizer, shortcut manager, and widget viewer that you can quickly call up on any window by swipe the edge of screen or by clicking a transparent trigger icon on screen. In most cases, you can complete app launching in 2 finger clicks (1st swipe, and 2nd click on app icon to launch). Possibly the fastest way to quickly launch or switch between applications.
If you want to use your phone one handed with complete touch screen experience, you find Android takes too many steps to complete one simple job, or you want to get a faster way to get things organized, get Smart Taskbar to make your like easier.
Smart Taskbar comes with following features
(1) 5 speedy launch spots for 2 steps quick launch
(2) App organizer function built in
(3) Task switch
(4) super speedy launcher
(5) Software home button (To prevent H/W home button from tear and wear)
(6) True multitask experience!
(7) Able to build your own custom action to launch
Reason why to use Smart Taskbar:
(1) Free up your home screen for more widgets instead of app shortcuts
(2) A better way to organize app in to groups
(3) Need a super fast way to launch your app
(4) Missing the multi tasking in Palm Pre
(5) Don't want to press hardware button too frequently

great app
thanks for posting this good app, it is so greate and useful that i use it every time when i use my phone.
i like the quick luanch function most, hereever i am, it is easy and quick to switch to another app.
also i can organized all my apps by different lables. then i can catch it easily by related lable.
of cource it goes smooth on my phone and till now, i have not found any defect to remove it.
my pleasure to share it with everyone.
Nice app. Uses a good amount of cpu tho and the visuals could use a bit of polish but definitely effective. Looking forward to see it develop.
Hi,
CPU usage if Smart taskbar should be no different than regualr Android app. You are seeing high CPU occupation because you do a lot of scroll in app list. Try yourself and scroll grid list in other app such as gallery and you will see similar CPU usage.
Since getting my Legend over 4 months ago I've been looking for something like this.
This seems to fit the bill, I will be sure to check it out! Just hope the CPU related comments are as per the OP's response ^.
EDIT: Oops, not what I thought it was. I thought this would 'pin' certain apps to the notification area for quick access.
Yes, you are correct the scrolling taxes cpu on any app so that is fair enough. I would like to see widgets integrated somehow similar to the way power strip does and I would use this exclusively for sure.
I am really happy with the app. Works great and has let me clan up my home screen. Much better then I thought it would be.

It is truly a personal preference question. But notification doesn't show up in full screen app. In this case, u can't access to quick launcher. In addition, u need to (1) expand notification bar, (2) click on notification item, (3) click on the item u wish to launch. It is 3 steps. Anyway, just like i said, it is pure personal preference question. Hope you can find it useful eventually.
Wow, works great and is just great!! This is definitly a Must-have app!
I was hoping to give this app a try, but the developer decided to pull it of most non english markets see http://kiumiu.wordpress.com/2010/08/27/closing-most-non-english-user-on-market/
Can anyone give me an apk so I can give it a try?

Looks like it would work great - but DOES NOT scale, if you've changed your LCD density. The click button to slide it out shows in the middle of the screen!
If the scaling issue gets resolved, it would be fantastic. In the meantime, it's very difficult to use it if you've changed the LCD density.
EDIT: Found it using an american ID on market-enabler, looks like its still in some of the english ones.

That's what I was hoping for too...
I like this overall, but I do think it has a few weaknesses.
First, app scrolling is very slow, I'm used to fast scrolling in my device whether it's LauncherPro or Touchwiz. I'd be willing to deal with cached icons or anything else for a short term fix. (Korean Galaxy S, SHW-m110s)
Second, while in the app I can't use my home button, which means, if I want to use home button to get home I can't. It also means I lose access to QuickDesk while in your app.
Overall, I'd recommend this, especially to those who don't use something like QD. Still, this has a more complete experience than QD so that's a definite plus over it, but QD has a real speed advantage as well as it's where I put power control widget for it's easy access within apps. I could see using this heavily with faster speed, even still due it's customizations that I haven't yet utlized it's probably better than I've already stated. Thanks for the good work, Dev, looking forward to more!
Strange, but I stuck on how to use screen...
Can get to the settings screen.

Same here. I can hit the 'open' button, but if I press the settings icon...it goes to the 'how to use' screen with the blue hand on it. The only thing I can do from there is open the dock...which works...but I would really like to access the settings menu. I am keeping the .apk, but have uninstalled as of now for failure to access settings.

I initially had the same problem. I think you have to click "dismiss", then after that, access settings from within the main screen of the app (it might've been from hitting the menu button, but I don't think that was my method, though they probably do the same). There are only 2 settings in the "settings" menu though. Other settings/customizations will be found within the app itself, such as pinning most common favorite apps to your easy to launch area.
I'll edit if the developer corrects me on anything, I only played around with it for about 15 minutes.
Like I said, I basically like the app, however, I encountered a big problem with it in the past 12 hours since my original post. My "Android OS" usage shot through the roof when I was asleep. I'm a guy who, at least when at home and definitely when asleep, doesn't use 3G, so I leave it off. Also, I don't use sync, so my Android OS is typically very low 2-4% and I get insane standby time in my Galaxy S, 1-2% drain in a typical night. Last night, I probably drained at least 30% but I think closer to 40%. Something is going on with the app that doesn't let my phone stay in standby mode.
Then this morning, I was very tired, so perhaps I slept through my smart alarm (it's somewhat quiet, though not very, and it'd only be the 2nd time and the first time the speaker was blocked). I was surprised when I was woken up by a backup alarm on my phone, so most functionality definitely remained. But then, 15 minutes later, my last resort alarm didn't go off, and I was monitoring the phone a bit to make sure it would. Right after it was supposed to another (very stable app, not to be named) force closed for maybe the 2nd time in it's life on me (no update in at least a week). Right after that, my power button wouldn't function to turn my screen off, it still brought up options to do things like Airplane mode, power off, etc, but touch to turn screen off doesn't work (and I leave my timer off).
I think updated I'll really like this app, plenty of potential here, but I have to uninstall. Thanks though.
Battery life issues (less phone sleep/standby)
Seemed to cause conflict with another app, but it could've been coincidence
Slow app scrolling

Hi,
I am developing on Galaxy too. Your phone lock up issue is basically caused by smart Alarm. when it happens, Smart Alarm doesn't make any sound, CPU usage of Smart alarm goes to 60-80%. At same time, my phone gets so hot like 40-50 'c. I am very sure this will happen to you even after uninstalling Smart Taskbar. Not using Smart Alarm is the only way to solve it. I am not sure is it fixed in later firmware release. In addition, my app doesn't use any wake lock. Therefore it doesn't block your phone from going to standby.
For battery life issue, I have used SystemPanel to monitor one week CPU time usage of my app, basically it uses less than 0.1% overall. Therefore, should have very very small battery drain.
For slow scroll, I do use cached app list. Launcher Pro is simply too great. Nothing can compare to its super smooth scrolling so far. But I think my app performs on par with standard launcher
By the way, are u using Galaxy S or the old 7500 Galaxy?

Hello,
I am not sure is it a bug but plz make sure you click the dismiss button. I think a reboot can solve it if pressing dismiss can't fix it.
Power Switch
Save power by turning off your device's screen whenever you shut the case!
Power Switch is a tool for devices with cases - somewhat like the SmartCover, it will turn off the screen when you shut the case.
If you have a device with poor battery life, Power Switch can save tons of juice by switching it off entirely after a given amount of time asleep.
Features:
- Sleep seconds after shutting case
- Automatic shutdown
- Set up a schedule using Night Mode
- Configure sensor sensitivity
- Facedown to turn screen off
- Persistent notification
- Uses almost no power
The app has gone through an extensive testing process here at XDA under another name. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen, you're the best!
However, this testing showed that some features of that app were not all that useful, and some were conspicuously absent. To save both you and us a lot of grief, we made the second-generation Killswitch.
If you have any comments or suggestions, please use this thread. I daresay Im known as a kindly developer always open to suggestions.
If you want to upgrade from Killswitch, send an email to the address in my signature containing the words "KILLSWITCH REFUND" and the order numbers of both Killswitch and Power Switch. I will then refund you the cost of Killswitch, and you will have Power Switch.
Lite
This version limits the cool down timer - it works just as well, but doesnt save as much juice!
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.powerswitch.demo&feature=more_from_developer
Pro
Has all the juice-saving power and customization!
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.powerswitch.pro&feature=search_result
Works on Gingerbread handsets?
Yes, works on 2.0+. No need for root either.
Any opinions?
Anything else?
Pretty clever implementation of the dialog box, all of the buttons on that is very useful and I will be using this app for my tablet
Enjoy, and please leave suggestions and market reviews, they help a lot!
Any suggestions guys?
I like the app's style and potential.
Maybe you could give consideration to some of the following as potential future features:
- Option to mute/unmute
- Scheduled backup for rooted devices?
- Check for updates (scheduled times?)
- Change data sync frequencies
- Enable/disable location services - root (Latitude etc)
- Kill/enable WiFi/mobile data
- Auto reply to SMSs (option to specify time period)
None of the above are at all thought through by me but you might see some potential that perhaps you hadn't been considering. If you think it's all a load of [email protected] Just ignore this (at least you got a free bump).

Mate, these are good ideas, but the app really has a different purpose. I am in fact working on something else where these ideas would be more appropriate...
Works great for its intended purpose. Gracias.
Good to see you in this thread tivo, thanks for the thanks!
So based on the description of what this does...
It has no reason to access the internet, but it does.
It has no readon to read my phoen state etc, but it does
It also has no reason to modify my SD card contents, but it does.
I'd like to try this as it may be quite useful. But Im sorry, there's no way Im going to try it given the permissions it seems to require for no stated reason!
Man id really love to reply in a smarmy, pushy-noob destroying, paranoia dispelling way, but you do have a point.
Internet - license, debugging, flurry (very coarse, national level)
Read data - debugging
SD - debugging log creation
Phone state - disables itself during calls (duh)
See i could have said anything there and you would never know (ehm google, htc, amazon).
But im a community dev here. With quite a few apps and a little respect i like to think.

Ive nothing against you or your app, but having looked at many things to buy on the market, Ive yet to buy a single one due to the level of permissions they seem to require with no reason given.
I suspect flurry isnt used for poping up annoying ads for "Also by the same author". Yes I know! But I found one free game I liked that insisted on running a background service whose sole purpose seemed to be to download advert details and show notifications of the other games produced by the publisher. A few in game ads I can live with, but not that level of annoyance.
Sorry rant over. Time to find the credit card I think
flurry is just a statistics service, the thing youre talking about is called airpush, its evil incarnate.
Unfortunately it seems this isnt going to work with my transformer and my case
Ive turned the sensitivity down to 1% and it still thinks its too dark and starts to turn the screen off. If I set it to 0% it doesnt start to turn things off at all. This is under energy saving lights or standard fluorescent lights which may be having some effect I guess. Certainly the front camera is quite dark under these lights.
Additionally, when I close the cover I suspect the screen light is reflecting from the cover and lighting the sensor enough to keep things still running unless the screen is really dark. (Even with the cover closed I can see light from the screen through gaps) Turning the sensitivity to a larger percentage would fix that of course, but then it will start turning off while Im using it
What case is this?

Sorry, meant to add that in!
Its this Tuff-Luv one
I dont see any holes in it...
Okay created a simple app for my own use that i'm not yet sure if it will extend battery life since I just finished it today and will do the testing tomorrow!
Concept on What It Does?
- If your display screen is off, it toggles the mobile data to turn on/off every few minutes.
- If the display is on, then it wont turn the data on/off
- It detects if 2g/3g/4g is on as well
What's the difference between this and tons of applications out there that turns off the automatically turns off the data when the screen is off?
- I have unlimited internet bandwidth on my phone but limited battery life. I rely on the internet for my instant messaging and work emails. If I use one of those applications that turns off the data when the screen is off, then technically I wont be able to receive those emails until I turn on the screen. That's how the idea of creating Auto Data came from. Basically I want to be able to receive messages while the screen is off without heavy battery usage.
- As I have yet to do actual field testing I'm not sure if it will extend or drain the battery! - Well at least that was my idea
Why Create This App?
- I'm looking for a way to extend battery life of my phone (HTC ONE X) without me having to turn on and off the mobile data manually since I have unlimited mobile data but limited battery life
- I want to learn how to program even the simplest things on Android for my own use
Bugs?
- You tell me
How Can You Help?
- I need testers to test the app. I have a little programming background knowledge but I know logic, so don't expect too much if you have suggestions / comments or if you find bugs.
- I need good icons that I can use for the app (any graphic artists out there?)
Not working?
This application requires that Mobile Data is initially turned "on" in Android System Settings to make it work.
Battery Still Draining Fast?
If you flashed a new ROM, you have to give it a few charge cycles in order for the battery to normalized and be calibrated. Usually, 3 - 4 full charge cycles before you'd notice the difference.
Donate Version
If you like Auto Data and would like to help out, you can consider donating. By donating you get the full features of Auto Data unlocked.
Donation can only be done through PayPal at the moment, as Google Checkout doesn't support the country where Im at so until Google Checkout supports comes, no choice but to use PayPal (Sorry about that).
There are 3 ways to donate, 1 is from the app itself, you can click "Donate" button. 2 is from XDA you can click "Donate to Me" button under my username, 3 you can manually enter my PayPal email which is "[email protected]"
Once you have donated, kindly send me an Email with your PayPal confirmation code and I will send you a APK that will unlock Auto Data.
Kindly allow me up to 48 hours to send you the APK file that unlocks AutoData, I have to send you the APK manually and due to time zone differences I cannot promise that I can send it immediately, but I will ASAP!
Donation Amount?
Any amount is appreciated. I do not put a minimum limit to donation. It's a donation so what ever you feel like then its fine!
Thanks for considering donating!
Disclaimer
- By installing and trying this application, I take no responsibility on what it does to your phone. Please use this at your own risk! If you do not accept this then please don't try this application.
- As this application has been developed for my own use since I have unlimited mobile data, if you do not have unlimited mobile data then I suggest you do not use this application since it automatically turns on and turns off your mobile data.
PS: Again, I have to do actual testing to determine if it does improve battery life. Would help if others can do testing as well.

Great idea man, like your thinking.
Few ideas for your app.
- Adding data on interval settings 5mins / 10mins / 20mins / 30mins
- Option to remove Status bar icons, too many apps have these and they clutter up the notification tray and some are ugly and ruin peoples UI's that they have spent time building. ( I my self run Slimmed down ICS, no System tray App notifications but core systems ones and i avoid coloured icons at all costs )
I see your a clean theme man your self :-D
- Profile so that during set hours it switches on WIFI, so people who work 9till5 can save data during work hours but not have to worry when home because they can connect to their home wifi using a set time. So data saving mode is enabled from 8am till 6:30pm outside these hours its switched off and wifi is enabled ?

Thanks for your suggestions.
I'm rewriting the whole program again since it got too complicated which caused the program not to work.
I already have a very early stage working. Doing the test now.
Adding interval settings is a good idea, I just hope it works since Android has deep sleep.
Option to remove the status bar icons = Okay I will include this
Profiles to set hours to switch over WIFI = okay I will see what I can do

nice idea, but what i would like to see is something like Auto3G for iOS;
http://modmyi.com/cydia/package.php?id=28562
basically, it switches to 2G when the screen is off, and back on when the screen is on; or you can set if the phone is connected to charger, say on 3G at all times..really useful!

if you turn off 3G when the screen is off then you wont be able to receive push emails / gtalk messages right?
If I can be of any assistance I am here to do so. I would love to try this out and post my results.

they can work on edge
Edit: you can also provide a white list option, for some apps, so that they always use 3g no matter what
On my fascinate with aokp m6, even when the screen is on, it turns the data off. It not always happen, but its randoms. After that i should manually turn on the data.

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.

- 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

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.

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....
