Is there an app that automatically toggles ON/OFF APN data during custom intervals or something like that?
A friend showed me an app for his Galaxy S that connected to the internet every hour or so for 2-3 minutes (so the apps, mail, etc sync) and then it disconects from the internet till the next hour. The problem is that I don't remember the name and my friend is on holidays, so I was wondering if someone knows of any app that does more or less the same.
Thanks!
Search the market for an app called "ultimate juice". I think that will do what you want.

Problem with that is that its a plugin and I still need the main app, I think the app I saw was a standalone one.
juice defender?

It's the same as the other suggestion. It's the core and standalone but has lots of configuration options disabled because you need ultimatejuice to enable them.
Install both?

its a question that i have been waiting for.
seems like any push data is affected because the app shuts down data to save battery.
I know you can set it so it switches on for a 1min every 15mins but if you have GTalk or constant emails being pushed, it means you wont get them until the app switches the data back on to reteive the emails/messages.
this is my understanding on how this app works.
if there is a program that auto switches ur phone to 2G when idle or screen is off, then i think this is a better solution.
This one does turn on when your screen does lol..
But earlier it stopped my data working even with screen on, i had to go into settings and disable then re enable and it worked! maybe it was cus i was at work and it tried to connect when i had no signal.. i dunno
Re: juicedefender
it's a known problem and the developer is working on a fix. I won't be using it until it is
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Is it? Whats the fix? Just turning it off and back on? Because disabling JD didnt work..

This happened to me yesterday as well. Only way I could get mobile internet back again was to reboot
Hi,
I installed JuiceDefender two days ago. Since then, I have had wifi problems. I can't be 100% sure that they are caused by JD, but I had no wifi problems before that, using several different networks.
My phone is SE Xperia X10, but I understand that the app works the same way on both phones.
The problem is:
When wifi is enabled, it takes several seconds to enter the "wireless networks" menu in settings. It then takes 20 seconds entering the "wireless settings" menu. During this period, the screen goes black. Sometimes, I get a message that the wifi app has crashed. Also: When I connect to a network, it works fine for 1-5 minutes, but after a while the phone does not seem to receive any data, even though it says "connected". The same wifi network works perfectly on my computer.
I have tried rebooting the phone, uninstalling/reinstalling JuiceDefender, etc.
Has anyone experienced anything similar to this? Any hints on how to solve the problem?
Re: juicedefender
happened again today with mobile data at work, it turned it self off. does the developer know about the bug?

Juicedefender is not in market anymore.
I bought this a few days ago and it has been working great but i was just prompted to update to the latest beta and nows things are not running too good.....may need to disable for a while.
uninstalled mine. just cause i wasnt getting good internet at work. seems better now. still a good app in theory. better than anything winmo had to offer.
Ive left it on but dont use it anymore.. Battery seems to have improved anyway
Re: juicedefender
the developer has released a beta to try and fix the issues. looks like the different carriers are causing problems with resuming the apn connection
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Gotta say, seems to be working without an issue on my phone
One thing i would like to know tho is that i can see the settings to change the rules for activation of wifi and apn but i would like to set these to 1m every 30mins rather than 15mins, is this possible ?
I only seem to change it to 2m for every half hour...seems to defeat the pont in changing it...What have i missed ?
It's absolutely helped my battery life. I think it's just about doubled it overall. I haven't bought the full version yet but I do intend to. Not because I want the extra features, but to support the work done on the free version - superb!
Folks,
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with automatic WiFi switching apps? Basically after something that works on the desire with froyo. What I want it to do is poll the available WiFi networks every so often (say hourly) to see if my home network is avaiable, and connect if it is.
What do the demon hordes of xda suggest to try, or avoid?

Tasker is a app that can do that, and much more.
http://tasker.dinglisch.net
On there site you can download it, try it for a week and if you like it buy it. It's a rater expensive app but it has a lot of possibilities. There is also a market version but that has no trial.

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it. Do you use this? If so, what for? Looks like there's tonnes of ability that I don't think I'd use.
Any other auto WiFi experience out there?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yeah it's true that for only wifi on at home it's a expensive app but i don't know any other ones.
And yes I use it, for now i have:
Wifi at home
Flight mode on, auto sync off and low brightens at night
5 minutes before my alarm goes off i turn flight mode off, brightness to auto again, wifi on and autosync back on
GPS turns on when opening maps or navigation
When there is a appointment in my school calendar my phone goes on vibrate during that time
When i open my terminal emulator it prompts the keyboard input method
This is after two weeks of using the app and there are a lot more possibility, they also have a wiki with example apps and some tutorials you can look at.
Y5 battery will do it for your home network, on market.

I thought the Desire automatically does this with no 3rd party apps? All the OP is saying that they want to connect to a WiFi connection when it's available (as opposed to performing some action).
Or did I miss something??

I suspect that the OP wants an app that switches off WiFi, and only switches it on again when in range of a "known" WiFi network.
This is essentially what Y5 does - it only works if you have a cellular signal at that location, and basically when the WiFi network connection is lost it looks at the cell id and if it has changed turns WiFi off. When you get back into range of that cell again, it will switch WiFi back on again.

I use "Wifi Auto Toggle" now to turn wifi on/off when I forget about it, but I have a problem where my wireless will randomly get stuck "authenticating" with my school's WPA network so it will appear to be connected without any problems, but you won't be able to access the internet with it. This means that Wifi Auto Toggle won't think to disconnect it, so it will sit there until I pick up my phone and realize that I need to reconnect. Any suggestions are welcome!
You can use tasker to turn the wifi on and off depending on time, location, whether the phone is plugged in, etc. It's confusing at first but it works wonders!!

I'd prefer an app that isn't $6... Also, it just needs to toggle the wifi on a set schedule (say, every 15 minutes). That way I could easily turn it on or off depending on where I am.
Saw an app call Modus Operandi in the main app forum that might do what you want (kind of a free Tasker alternative). I use Tasker though so I don't know how well this app works...

I just rooted my phone mostly for the WiFi but it's doing something a little strange now. Whenever I turn on the Wireless Tether app it shows multiple access points coming from my phone, 5 to be exact. Is there something I'm missing, a way to clear the unwanted names?
Have a screenshot?

I've done that but I still have 5 seperate access points being sent out from my phone. I can't seem to change any of the setting for 4 of them.
anyone have any ideas?
same here
You are not alone.
I used os monitor to see 5 occurrences of internet active - sometimes more.
They won't kill and effect memory terribly. Sometimes a reboot is required, however, the internet occurences are still there. The reboot only clears some memory to allow evo to run fast again.
I have no idea how to fix.
By the way, what app did you use to see those occurances. I'd like to check it out.
Thanks.

Sorry for the confusion that is actually a screen shot of my desktop to show multiple access points being listed. I wish there was an app that looked like that to show available wifi.
You get non of those (in your screen shot) when your phone is off?
It's a wildcard, but possible your neighbors have evo's too and running the tether software...

Negative, I can visibly watch them pop up when I turn the tether on and they go away as soon as i turn it off. It also seemed that when I tried to rename one instead of renaming one of them, it would make another access point. Very peculiar.
FWIW...I switched to CM6 and it's all cleared up.
Yea I was gonna say, that's your computer if you change the name and your computer keeps the old ones and adds the new one. My laptop does that too but I can remove them individually.
I have 4G LTE unlimited grandfather plan on my S3. But as you all know, the battery drain pretty quick with 4G LTE. I cant even last a day with normal usuage. I am on on stock LH1 rooted rom. I've found that turn off data from the notification bar help with the battery tremendously but dont want to miss out important emails when im not near a computer.
What app/widget do you guys use to automatically turn data on and off periodically like let say on for 30 minutes then off for 30 minutes, or off/on permanently via manually override from the user?
I've searched on the market and Google but no luck..
Thanks guys!
I use switchpro widget. It has a data toggle that you can switch on and off as needed.
JuiceDefender claims to be able to do this. You can select how often data is enabled and the duration.

thaks. will try it soon
any customized Samsung TW ROM with 15 toggles MOD will have Data On/Off switch.
+1 for recommending Juice Defender. I upgraded to ultimate, wasnt really necassary though you can set schedules for it to sync anywhere from reactivating your data every 5 minutes to once every couple hours and everywhere in between. Can set it to turn off your gps, wifi, blue tooth etc... Just my 2 cents
JuiceDefender is probably your best choice. I've been using it on every Android phone I've had and it gives you a great deal of customization if you upgrade to ultimate.
