when i am at home or work i charge my phone with the sync cable and turn on wifi.
Is there an app that can disable wifi when i pull the cable out , to save battery if i forget to turn off wifi
You can use "Locale" ...
It has plugin to detect power source:
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/locale-power-source-plugin_flhs.html
I highly recommend Setting Profiles. Its like a less buggy version of Locale. Price: $3.95 for Full. Free for Lite (limited to 1 active rule) The lite version should suit your needs.
I use this app to configure my phone automatically when placed in the car dock:
Maximize screen brightness
Enable GPS
Enable Bluetooth
Disable screen timeout
Disable Vibrate
Then, when I remove my phone from the dock, the settings are restored to their pre-docked state.
I can't give a link due to forum restrictions, but here is the creators site:

I've started my new (short term hopefully) project, trying to to some home automation controller / media player panel based on my old galaxy tab 10.1 with CM 10.2
first of all any chance to change a display time out to none without any external application ?
I wish the device will stay ON all the time or even better to make the screen start and stop at the time (maybe tasker ? but first I need to turn off the system timeout)
second thing - trying to find some very simple launcher application with possibilities to set up few (6-8) large buttons on the screen to start some of my predefined apps / no app drawer access from desktop - thinking about a car home ultra but without the navigation / location and media buttons
but maybe there is something better ?
third thing - screen saver - is there any screensaver app in the meaning like a PC screensaver - I would like it to show up automatically after some period of time of inactivity - displaying photos from the local folder and gone as fast as the screen will by touched - thinking about tasker again but have no idea is that possible there so will need to find out first, any ideas ?
any help really appreciate
thanks
Hi Guys.
I need help for testing a new app I've been working on.
It's an app that's truely "set and forget", that makes your smartphone even smarter.
When you're tired and just wants to sleep, plug in your phone to the charger and BAM the clock app is there, ready for you to set the alarm.
It will do various tasks when you plug in a charger, eg:
Open an app you define
Activate daydream (Screensaver) after a certain interval
Enable silent mode
Enable flightmode (Requires root)
Reboot phone after certain interval (Requires root)
Go to homescreen when charger is unplugged
Play sound when charger plugged/unplugged
Sound when charger plugged/unplugged
The reboot functionality is especially useful if you (like me) forget to reboot your phone sometimes. All Android phones run low on memory over time, and a reboot is the most effective way to avoid this.
This app won't run unless the phone is in charger = Next to none impact on battery life.
Reasons for app permissions:
MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS - To be able to set silent mode
BIND_DREAM_SERVICE - To be able to start DayDream (On Android 5.0+)
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - To know when the app rebooted the device (and act accordingly)
What do you think guys? Anything you will use?
If you have any suggestions/feature requests please don't hesitate to mail me at [email protected] or put an answer below- I'm fully open to new suggestions and they are very welcome.. :victory:

Testing. Suggestions:
1. Optional notification sound/vibration when plugged/unplugged.
2. Optional notification sound/vibration when: a) full charged; b) unplugged and bellow certain battery level.
3. I think it must have a timer to activate the airplane mode (not all the times we charge that it should be enabled..., perhaps only at night).

Thanks, but the airplane mode is (yet) to be more flexible.
If some other features come, I'll be able to uninstall other apps that has "similar" functionality, for instance:
1. Battery temperature on notification.
2. Options for not warning sound while headphones are connected, or while in call.
Seems a promising app. Thanks.

What more flexibility do you want in the airplane mode?
You're thinking battery temperature when charging only? Or all the time?

I want to start airplane mode only when charging overnight. If any charge starts the airplane mode, I'll lose calls and messages in the middle of the day. I'm an intensive user of the phone. I need to charge frequently, not only overnight. You've add the option (timer) to start airplane mode after some seconds, but it would be good, imho, if we have a period (from time to time) where the airplane mode is started. Charging outside of this period won't trigger the airplane mode.

The more configurability the better: if the user can chose for a permanent notification, it will help to keep the app alive.
I myself would like to set a temperature level when it reaches a predefined temperature.

looking for help on a certain issue. Related to the following 2 apps:
1) one weather
2) applock
I have one of the widgets my homescreen which displays the weather & the time. On my op3 (and other non huawei/honor devices i've owned) it works fine & the time is always accurate but on my huawei (p9) and honor 7 the time seems to stop keeping track.
i think it must be something to do with what apps are left running when the screen i switched off & the interference with emui.
internet is not required to be on for the time to display correctly a on my op3 it keeps telling the right time even if wifi and data are off but on the huawei/honor devices it only keeps up to date with the time when the screen is off if data/wifi is enabled.
- I have done the following in settings:
advanced > battery manager > protected apps (allow apps to keep running after the screen is turned off) > i have enabled 1 weather so it is allowed to keep running
- auto closing of power intensive apps is disabled
settings > apps > advanced > ignore optimizations > 1 weather is allowed
I can't see any other options from the settings menu that that wold be having an effect.
The fact it runs fine on my op3 (and other android devices) implies it must be sth to do with huawei/honor optimization or doze feature
second app (smart app lock) is a similar issue. it seems to auto disable itself but irregularly. sometimes its when I close all apps (which i tend to do each time i switch off the screen) other times do that & it's fine but when i switch off screen then switch back on again its disabled.
again I dont have the issue with the same app on my op3 so it must be to do with huawei/honor or emui
fyi i previously had a p8 lite and had the exact same issue with the same 2 apps.
anyone any suggestions?

Ultra Battery Saver is an application that design to prolong your battery life by using ADVANCED SYSTEM SETTINGS TWEAK and ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. The Free version is already functional and powerful, Pro version would unlock more advanced features that required root access.
Link to Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=exa.free.ubs
If you want to try the Pro version too (Paid App):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=exa.pro.ubs.r
HIGHLIGHTED FEATURES:
Auto Pilot:
Enable the application to work in artificial intelligence mode, it will automatically choose the best settings for your system.
No Useless Animation:
Usually, there are a lot of battery saving apps out there, with a lot of useless animation and effect, which is unnecessary and drain battery power. Since our policy is focusing on functionality, there are no such animation or effect in this app.
Privacy Care and No Ads:
Before displaying ads, application would need to download ads content over internet, which will waste bandwidth and battery power, also user data will be collected which in most case a privacy risk to user. Since its violet the policy of this application, we have make sure there are NO ADS in this application, in both free and pro version. Also we make sure data that processed by this application would never leave user's device.
APPLICATION FEATURES:
Smart Wifi:
When this feature is turned on, application would automatically turn off wifi when device's screen turned off, and turn it back on when device's screen is unlocked, user could choose to turn on or turn off wifi only in pro version.
Smart Sync:
This feature is used to minimize the time of sync run on the device. By Default, when this feature is enabled, device would TURN ON SYNC 5 MINUTES FOR EVERY 1 HOUR. User could choose more time duration in pro version.
Smart Brightness:
When this feature is turned on, application would automatically adjust device screen brightness base on the battery level to archive battery saving, user could choose auto mode ,day mode, or night mode in pro version.
Power Charging:
This feature could speed up battery charging by limited some features of device during charging, such as turn off wifi. We recommend only enable this option when you are not using your device during charging. User could choose to which option to apply during charging in pro version.
Wake Lock:
Note: This is not a battery saving feature and should only used when need only.
Wake Lock is a feature that ensure the device screen never turn off automatically when you need to do activity that need the screen to stay on, Example : Using GPS.\n\nBut this feature may drain extra battery power on some condition, so please turn it on only when needed and clear the wake lock after used.
FAQ:
Q1: Why we don't have task killer feature?
A1: Since we know about how android device works, and we even investigate the way of task killer work before, we can't add this feature because it violate our policy. When killing a service using task killer, android system would always automatically restart that service, then task killer will try to terminate that service again, just like a never-ending cat mouse game. Also, restart a service in most case will use more battery than leaving it run in the background, the only way to safely stop a service is using the android built in Force Stop feature, which is ONLY AVAILABLE IN OUR PRO VERSION.
