Is there a way that when the phone is locked for more than a couple of the mins the phone automatically switches to 2G to save battery and then back to 3G IF available when it's unlock. Sort of like the wi fi setting in which it turns off when the screen is shut down.
Any ideas ???
I wonder if the "Tasker" app would let you do this ?

I have my Experia set to go in standby mode after a minute so the screen goes blank. But I noticed that every few minutes (around every 5-10 minutes) the phone is still in standby mode but the screen lights up for a few seconds. I think that because of this also baterry runs out sooner. Can anyone give me any suggestion hov to set or too repair this problem so that the screen woudn't go on in standby mode without any reaso.
you can do a hard reset
These kind of things happen at many phones when you have Cell Broadcasts or Area Info enabled.
It's under Start menu, Settings (control panel, whatever) Personal tab, Phone, More tab, Broadcast channels (Enabled).
I'm not using English rom so the names could be different than the ones I used, but you get the idea of where you should look, right?
i guess the thing with windows mobile when the Cell Broadcasts or Area Info enabled it always turn the phone screen on whenever the phone receive new or updated cell info
so i advice u to disable this service plus turning ur phone on 3g or Hspad Mood will solive the problem but whenever the 3g service its not avilable the phone will go to gprs mood that means the phone will receive cell info again ,so just turn Cell Broadcasts off and the problem shell be over

Update your Xperia's firmware on Sony Ericsson's website. This should fix it.
If I turn wifi on at my house and leave a little later, will it automatically switch back to 3g until wifi is available again? And so on throughout the day?

Depends on your Wifi sleep policy.
If set to never sleep, then as long as you stay in wifi range it will stay connected even if the screen is off. If you venture out of wifi range it will jump to 3G and continuously search for a new wifi network at whatever the default TouchWiz scan interval is.
If set to sleep when screen is off, then it will swap back to 3G when the phone screen is off and therefore do your syncing over 3G while the screen is off. When you turn the screen back on, wifi will reconnect if still within range.
If set to never sleep when plugged in, then it will remain on wifi as long as you're within range and have the phone plugged in. Otherwise it will revert to 3G if no longer plugged in and the screen is off. (Never used this choice, so I could be off a bit.)
Pretty sure I covered the cases. I've tried the screen off (TouchWiz default) choice and never (current setting) choice. I find the plugged in choice pointless for me.
I bought a used HTC Surround to play with WP7 development. I have no phone service for it and just use wifi. I've found that wifi shuts off when in standby, has anyone found a way to keep it active when in standby? Or even a way to just keep it from auto going into standby? I searched around but didnt see anything.
If you keep it plugged in, wi-fi won't shut off.
The screen timeout can be set to never if you don't set a password, that way the screen won't go to sleep and the wifi will stay active.
i checked the option "always" Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep. Does this mean if its "off" that it will use 3g/4g instead? Also does wifi kill battery faster than the networks data
If you have it set to turn off WiFi during sleep, then when you turn off the screen, WiFi turns off and 3G turns on. When you turn the screen back on, 3G turns off and WiFi turns on.
WiFi generally uses less power than constantly being connected to 3G.
Setting WiFi to sleep when the screen is off often hurts battery life with normal use because it takes more power to keep turning radios on and off (over and over again) than it does to just leave them on.
Firmware B111, kicking out of wifi when screen goes off. Wifi is set up "never go off", but still it goes.
I see it on "Smart Profiles",(tried "Profile Flow" also), as I made a rule based on home wifi to switch BT off, when I'm at home.
After some time, when screen goes off, it turns BT on. When I take the phone, it "see" wifi and switches BT off again. In log file of Profile Flow I can see, how the "HOME" profile goes on and off every 5-10 or 15 minutes.
So, the problem is- why WIFI does not keep on all the time. All the possible battery savers are taken off, but still no constant wireless network connection during phone sleep...
And my wifi based profiles don't work as they suppose to...
double check power save option?
