Hi, on my HTC Touch Pro 2, I used the NRG roms and they always came with a software that was able to disconnect the data connection after a certain amount of time that I allocated. This stopped the phone always being connected to the internet. Is there such a software that AUTOMATICALLY does the exact same thing for android Samsung GSii? APNDroid doesn't do this because you have to do select it manually, I need something that does it automatically. Thanks.

Neither of those programs does what I have asked. I want the data connection to automatically stop after a specific amount of time.
Juice Defender can also make this job very good.

How do I get juice defender to be 2x efficiency?

Buy Ultimate Juice
I'm getting 24-36 hours of "my normal use" out of a single charge on CM6.1rc1
I did buy it but I am only getting 1.37x right now and I would like some pointers to help me increase that.

keep the screen off more. seriously. juicedefender's most effective tool is shutting off data connection when screen is off. by default it is set to allow data to connect every 15 min for 1 min. you can change that to just keep data off when screen is off (if that works for you).
I have it on 5 an hour but I really see the effects now, 2.84 at the moment, only lost 4% In 45 mins.

Will calls still come thru if data is off?
Yeah Calls still come through and even text messages

Yes, I think they still come through 2g..but I have it on prefer wifi so when wifi is available it turns off data, I'm on 2.65x right now and 1 minute every 15 minutes. Any other tips?

Don't get too comfortable with seeing that 2.65 up there, it will most likely drop down significantly once it gathers data. Depending on usage, the normal range will be between 1.7 and 1.85 if it's working well.
All I wanted was 2.0 but this is the second day and it's at 2.56x. How long does it generally take to get to the cooling down?(the 1.xx)

Uninstall it and use Autostarts and SetCPU. UltimateJuice is such a piece of trash.
Don't know what auto starts is but I have set cpu, not sure how to use either.

Autostarts changes when apps have permission to start. For example, when you receive a text message, certain apps will automatically start, but with Autostarts you can limit what can open.
So using setcpu and autostart is better on battery life?

For me it is by a mile. You don't have any extra programs running and constantly enabling/disabling things, so as long as you aren't in some dungeon-like area with no reception you should not need to turn off your wifi or mobile network.
I see there was 3 apps, autostarts(obviously not what I'm looking for cause was a car app), autostart killer, and auto start root, which one is the right one?

I'm going to have to disagree completely with TheBiles on UltimateJuice/ JuiceDefender. It works VERY well. I have only ever heard 2 people claim that they didn't like JuiceDefender and one of them was a noob who couldn't figure out the interface. I do agree on AutoStarts and SetCPU though. I use all three and I get very good battery life.
I have JuiceDefender, and I use it on and off.
I have noticed that when receiving a text message or turning on the phone otherwise, it takes *forever* for JuiceDefender's top-bar button to turn from red to green and release the top bar for use, whereas the top bar is immediately usable when JuiceDefender is disabled.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?
So what exactly is the app called for the auto start?
It's just called Autostarts. It has a picture of a red car as it's icon. You can find it in the market.
What does this mean? I keep getting notifications that pop up and say Mobile internet traffic this month has exceeded the limit of #.##MBMB. Mine says now 4.08MBMB..
Anybody know what this is? Hope its nothing bad.

I think it means big bro knows you're tethering way too much
We're comin from a pure power source.
I don't tether at all. I've only tried it out a few times and that was months back. On my last bill statement I barely used 1gb of data. Something's up.

Hmmm, streaming a lot? Random app in the background or someone ripping off your wifi or hotspot?
We're comin from a pure power source.
if your using MIUI open up the "Tools" folder on homescreen then click on the monitor app. you can adjust settings there or turn it off completely. The whole Monitor thing is automatically turned on as soon as you flash MIUI ( I think) but doesn't mean anything bad per se.. Unless you have a limited data plan
I figured it all out. I went ahead and turned off mobile traffic since its un needed.

I want to save battery life ....
I do not know about the app but there is one problem. Sometimes I download large files and i do not want to keep my screen awake all the time. But if it switches the connection to 2g from 3g (or vica versa) it disconnects for one second and the download fails.. So that could be a problem for downloading large files.

if can set the timer,that problem can fix
Juice defender can do that I think. Haven't tried it myself I don't use that app anymore, but I believe there was an option in it to toggle between 3g and 2g. However, you have to have root access and a kernal/rom that supports it. Stock kernals don't support allowing you to switch between 2g to 3g without doing it manually yourself through the settings, so you probably need to find a custom one that does.

You'll need a mod ROM to get full use of Tasker for battery improvement. Stock ROM doesn't allow 2G/3G switching.
I understand that CM10 allows this.
Someone should confirm, as I've stuck to rooted stock rom in SIII and plan to keep the same on Note II.

So, here is the situation with my Samsung Galaxy S2. Every now and then, when the phone is left idle and I try to browse to use the Internet after a while, the speeds are unusable.
So, I run one of those network refresh apps every now and then (which basically puts the phone into airplane mode and back) and that always solves the problem.
My question is whether anyone knows an app that can do this automatically, say once every hour.
Now, this is an issue that I had with my phone ever since I installed ICS on it and none of the different ROMs had helped and neither did flashing different radios.
So, if anyone knows an app like this or has a similar problem with their phone, all help is much appreciated.
Should be a way to do this in either Llama, which is free, or Tasked, which is a paid app.

Yes, use it now (Ulitmate) I have found nothing wrong personally. Mine's set for Data on with screen on, Data off screen off.. I don't have a schedule set or anything (i'm always off and on the phone anyway) does increase the battery life a bit.. Download, try it for a bit.. see what you think overall.
I did use it before, just the light version. it was indeed a battery extender. But now I am using ON(X).

Nope. IMO, battery saving apps like Juice defender burn more battery than they claim to save.

Juice defender WILL help. I get about 24hrs to a charge. It simply disables data/location/wifi when not in use and can be customized to run different ways for different apps
-SlimBean...the bulimic's choice for the Galaxy III
Hope this helps. It's fully customizable and it does wonders. U can train it to learn your wifi and after a while, never touch the toggle again. Use it for games so they don't go online and pick up those annoying ads (if your unrooted). And u can schedule when the net comes on to get emails and so forth when your not touching you phone.

Been using Ultimate from the beginning and if set up correctly is the difference between night and day for battery life. It works very well with no problems whatsoever on my end.
+1 When setup properly it can save a lot of juice. Or turn data off when not needed it will save a little more than using JD. But I rather have JD running so things are seamless. For Streaming audio like Spotify I find setting for enable/screen off works the best.

Be honest and tell people you have an extended battery.
i got a small issue with JD ultimate:
i set it quite correctly i think, but then, it prevents datas from coming to my phone, even when they're enabled.
let me explain better:
i set it so datas are off when screen is off and on when screen is on.
so i turn my phone on, datas take smth like 5 to 10 seconds to enable, everything normal till here, then the small H or G appear meaning i'm connected through 3G, but even then, i'm still offline... i wait, and wait 5 mins, but still, the H or G is visible on top right of my screen but.. no data.
i disable juice defender, restart my phone, didn't solve.
then i uninstall it completely, restard my phone, and everything works fine again...
anyone could help me on this one?
