Hey y'all
I'm looking for an app that will switch my data on every 15 mins for a period of 2-3 mins.
Just need this to sync FB, Whatsapp, Gmail for any notifications as I do not like leaving my data on ALL the time & my work duzn't have wifi
Also, need it to not switch off when I manual toggle my data connection.
I've tried Autoconnect, Connection Commanders, Juice Defender, APNDroid, etc...not what i'm looking for (the closest is AutoConnect).
Also, would like to change my GB notifications bar (with settings) to the one as used by SG3...any one have any ideas on how to change?
Cmon guys...not one useful reply

Idk about a lot of bg data but it will save some at least. What do you mean about the market? Could you explain more?

The market requires background data to varify services etc... for the apps you mentioned just disable auto-sync. Also keep display brightness low, wifi and Bluetooth off when not in use, check all app settings to ensure they aren't running automatically or frequently updating and also turn vibrate/haptic feedback off if possible.
Yahoo mail doesn't like me when I disable background data -_- how do I take care of that?

Yahoo! Mail and the Market do require background data. Market I understand. Yahoo! Mail, not so much.
In any case, you can use the built-in E-mail app to get to Yahoo! (not Gmail, sometimes labeled "Corporate Email", it's the little envelope with the gold stamp coming out)
Check this thread from earlier today for the settings:

Background does save a lot battery but I use the market and some other apps a lot , so I just leave it on, one thing that can save you a battery is using WiFi , like if you at home and you have WiFi use WiFi instead it will help , and the mail app (blue envelope for HTC sense ) let you set up yahoo, is not push but you can set up how often you want it check and it does appear read when you check online

This didn't work when I first got my phone but it works now? How did you do this magic trick!?

Try k9 from market. It is a heck of a email program and free. I removed gmail and yahoo email along with mail.apk. If handles all my general email in a tight package. And to disable background update will save battery life since 3G does not Ned to ba abler.
Yes it does save lots of your battery! Just turn off ALL internet access. Your phone will go for days and days without needing a charge.
(Home menu with free space for an additional icon) Menu Button -> + Add to Home -> Widget -> Settings -> Mobile Network.
When you are not using the phone anything other than phone calls, turn off the Mobile network. All background updates like weather, e-mail, etc will stop until you turn them back on.
(Home menu with free space for an additional icon) Menu Button -> + Add to Home -> Widget -> Settings -> Sync All
This is great to manually turn on the Internet and have the phone sync up all the services then turn off the mobile network.
When I am at work, the signal is not great therefore my battery drain tends to be the worst during this time of day. It used to be that with by the time I unplugged my phone (5:45am) until the time I would leave work (3:30pm), I would have anywhere from 25% - 50% battery. I now turn off the DATA & SYNC options in my Notification Bar options and I have been leaving work with about 70% - 75% battery.
My question is;
DATA i am fairly certain is what allows the phone the ability to scan internet or do downloads of any kind. I can still get text messages and phone calls WITHOUT the DATA option enabled. Is there any other feature I am missing with the DATA option??
SYNC i actually have very little knowledge of. What is it about these two features that drain the battery so much faster??? DATA i can understand, but how far reaching and strenuous is the SYNC option, while enabled???
Thanks in advance gentlemen.......
Sync is what allows the phone to keep you Gmail account and contacts up to date with the Google servers.
If you turn off data, you effectively turn off sync as well, as you are cutting off anything that would require data use.
All email accounts won't refresh, notifications from apps like Facebook or Words With Friends won't occur, etc.
SMS will work because texts are sent and received via the voice radio, not the data radio. MMS won't work.

Hello,
I am using the cdma galaxy nexus on AOKP B31. Tried to find an answer through forum searches here, rootzwiki and google but no luck. If anyone can help or point me in the right direct, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Q: Is it possible to receive push notifications for google voice while using AOKP's power saver mode/turning data off when screen is turned off? Similar to Juice Defender's functionality. Sync on an interval works fine. I bounced around from roms, AOKP M2 to Gummy back to AOKP B31. I remember it working when I had M2.
If it helps, my settings are:
Screen off data action: Turn data off
Data action delay: Don't wait
Sync Action: Do nothing
Screen-Off Wifi: Do nothing
Synd Data Usage: Leave untouched
Sync mobile data preference: Prefer 3G... Accidently selected this.
Again, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Push notifications won't play nice with you toggling data connectivity - they'll still come through, but will be delayed (depending upon your interval).
A workaround I used was setting Google Voice to notify me of new messages via SMS - those always come through.
Well considering GV SMS is just data, and you're turning off data.... no, you won't get notifications (unless you have them forwarding to SMS your cell # like the above poster).
can anyone shed some light on what exactly Mobile Data On/Off does? I turned Mobile Data off and yet i still can make/receive calls, send/rcv texts, access inet, access the market, receive vmail notifications.
Also, GB allowed to turn "background data" off, which really helped preserve battery life by hours. Is there any type of option for this in ICS. turning background data off had the effects of stopping vmail notifications, wouldnt allow access to the market while off, and basically blocked alot of apps constantly updating
thanks
It allows you to keep up with your data usage .....if on it will show how much you have used and warn u if your coming close to what you set as a limit ....would be great on a carrier that throttles or you only have say 5 gb ..... All you have to do is go into system settings and scroll down to accounts and sync under personal and turn it off whatever you don't want to sync

Well mobile data on/off should do just that. Toggle your mobile data on and off.
Setting a mobile data limit will limit the amount of data used when it's enabled.
I had a auto sync data toggle in the notification toggle bar on my S7 Edge and Note 7 but don't have one for the Pixel. I know i can go to settings>applications>menu dots> toggle on/off, but that is a hassle when i forget it before heading to work. I use this option a lot so that i can get work emails, and scheduled appointments throughout the day. I would turn it off after work, unless i'm on call, i often forget to until i either notice my phone blowing up due to email notifications or see the toggle still active. Does anyone else use this option as often as i do? Is there a good app i could get that will allow me to quickly toggle this option on/off without going through a bunch of different settings/option windows? I found a couple, but they have ads everywhere which is annoying for only using it for one task. Thanks.
Found an app called QuickTile which does exactly what i needed. Took me a little bit to figure out how to make it right but it works great. A great app if anyone else is interested. I also get a promo code to get the pro version from the developer ascsa.
