APP - WM Longlife

[Guest Kev23]

Mornng all, not sure if people have already seen this - but one of the moderators over at XDA has created the above. Will hopefully save battery by keeping phone in 2G, and the switching to 3G for anything that needs internet connection.

Here is an extract from the description:

"WMLongLife is an automatic 2G/3G band-switching solution. It will keep your device in 2G when you do not need to use 3G, and will switch to 3G automatically when you do need it. For most users, having your device in 2G uses much less battery, and thus your phone lasts longer on a single charge."

Is working well for me (it needed 2 soft resets after installation to work), can't say if it's saved my battery so far..... as I have also just switched radios from PUJA1 to XBIC1.

Doesn't Windows Mobile already do this?

Unfortunately not.... if phone is set to 3G (Auto), then it will cling for dear life to 3G signal it finds all the time - and in UK for example (at least in my area) 3G signal is average at best... so phone wastes all it's battery trying to find better signal.

I use Ahen's Battery Enhancement CAB and add this WM longlife weeks ago. Without 3G connection, just for SMS and some calls per day, my battery can last 4 to 5 days at max. And I'm using PUJA1 :huh:
