Power management has android heard of it ?

in windows 6.5 you can ajust the power level of wifi, with battery status you can see this power level, is there a program that does this in android ? and why are there 50 programs that all they do is turn off why fi when you unplug it what a waste of my time.
seriously need to fix the market so it actual has a decent search option is pathetic quite frankly.

I've no idea what you mean by adjust power level of wifi. However there are some advanced options. Hit menu when you go into the wifi settings. Most people don't realise they are there.
Also try Wifi Analyzer from the market - it may have some options you are looking for, although I can't work it out from your post.

[Q] Inadvertently decreased ringer volume and missed calls

Sometimes I accidently turn ringer volume down low (not mute) and miss an important call.
I’ve found apps such as Ringer Volume (Android-Lab) to reset it at given times, however they all wants ‘full Internet access’ don’t know if I like that with an app that will be constantly running and with my limited data allowance?
Another option would be a taskbar icon showing my volume level; however I cannot find any such widget.
It’s not mute that give me the problem it’s when I decrease the Ring Volume sometimes by accident when holding my Desire HD, with CyanogenMod 7.
Anyone got any suggestions on this?

there's an app called Settings Profile that u can set rules to do stuff, so u can set a rule to keep invoking a certain profile at whatever interval you want. The Lite version can only set 1 rule so I am not sure if that's good enough for you or not.

Hi Lukesky, thanks for taking the time to help.

I think I had looked at Setting Profiles before but just had another look and my concern with it is that it takes Full Internet Access, perhaps I’m being paranoid but I only have 20Mb of data per day and then the price per Mb goes up dramatically, let alone when I’m roaming, OK I know I could turn Data off if I wanted. So do you think the Lite App will be using data via its internet access?

here u go buddy...its simple quick and fast.... i use it all the time and place as widget

Thanks Lalitehgal, I appreciate your help however unless I’m mistaken this widget has no option for an auto timed volume increase, and my problem is I sometimes do not realize I have decreased the volume while holding the phone.

@richardsoffice: in my opinion you should definitely not be required to adjust ringtone or notification volume manually. Because once - in office - you are satisfied, but then - on the street - you just don't hear anything. The phone should adjust the ringtone volume automatically based on ambient noise and phone position (pocket/out of pocket/table/...). Check out an app called IntelliRing.
Manually adjusting ringtone volume does not do any harm if your ringtone volume is managed by IntelliRing. So you can accidentally adjust volume as you want

[Q] bluetooth and wifi power saving

Hello all,
I am wondering if anybody has any ideas on how i can set my bluetooth and wireless to automatically turn off if they haven't connected to anything in 15 or 30 minutes.
The reason i want to do this is after i leave my home i don't need my wifi until i get back home and after i leave my car i don't need my bluetooth until i get back in it at the end of the day, sometimes i forget these things are still on and they slowly eat at the battery...
I've got the Samsung S3 (AT&T) (i747m Canadian version) although its been rooted and installed CM 10.1 nightly build March 06 there must be some way to do this.
thanks for any ideas!
Alex

Not sure about Bluetooth but you can adjust WiFi settings in the WiFi menu within the advance settings

For the wifi, try out this app... it will just blip the wifi every time you unlock the screen, and if a network is available it will leave it on, if not it will turn it off. When the screen is off, it will turn off wifi, depending on your traffic settings. Blipping the wifi on uses very little power, so it is very efficient to do it this way. LOVE this app.

As for the bluetooth, only way I know of is using Tasker... there is a profile available in the tasker wiki that will turn off unused bluetooth after a few minutes.
Also, wrong section...

tectiles you can do this too (either enable/disable or run that app)

Using NFC on the GS3 I came across this YouTube video on using NFC tags with the GS3. With with an app like NFC Task Launcher you can configure your phone to turn on/off wifi, bluetooth, or just about any task or series of tasks you'd like.

Increase volume steps on S9 w/ Android 9?

Is there any way to increase the number of volume steps for media on S9 (Exynos, no root etc) w/Android 9? On Android 8 Samsungs' SoundAssistant app did the job perfectly, but since upgrading to Android 9 the app doesn't seem to work any longer, that is, it allows me to increase the number of volume steps but the changes doesn't have any effect in the actual volume steps leaving me stuck with the coarse dedault scale which sucks big time.

In case someone else should end up wondering about the same thing, the reason for SoundAssistant not working didn't have anything to do with Android 9. I have the PowerAMP app installed, and in the settings of this app it has a feature that tries to let the app override the system volume slider and settings, so as soon as this was disabled the volume settings from Samsungs' SoundAssistant were working again, so might be there was an update to the PowerAMP app that suddenly didn't want to cooperate with the volume settings from the Samsung app. Anyway, problem solved.

Phone keeps lowering volume every few mins help!

So out of no where my phone has just been lowering randomly every 5 to 10 mins and it's definitely not a faulty volume button it sets it to an exact level every single time. Also when connected to Bluetooth in my car instead of lowering volume it changes to only the left channel speakers working till I reset Bluetooth. So idk how to fix this

Some crazy app?

Obviously, these aren't settings you want to keep enabled, but they may tell you more about the problem.
Ultimately, you'll have to find the app and deal with it (if I'm right that it is an app).
