Guest wjaxxx Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 It's been a long time since I realized my Nexus ONE was draining a lot of battery. After some testing I figured out one of the most probable causes for that, Autosync. So I started creating a proof of concept app in order to run autosync at a specified custom time. On the other hand, I read some users in this forum talk about the possibility to monitor Signal Strength and disable APN if under a given threshold... so I did it (and added Autosync control on low signal too). It is very useful when you work all day in low signal areas (as me). Remember.. this is just a proof of concept... may fail a lot or never! Search for it in the market! Enjoy IMPORTANT: Dont kill the app! Exclude it from memory savers (automatic tasks killer). And dont worry about memory or CPU use, it is negligible. Update 23/08/2010 New Version 0.2. Hope you like it You have to unistall the previous one (if not it won't install) because I lost my previous certificate . Sorry!!!

Not a big fan of the autosync on schedule but the low signal apn off and autosync off is a great IMHO! Just installed it, tweeted it and I'll see how it goes as I am currently in the countryside with low 3G signal.. ;-) Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
