[NEW VERSION] ShutUpBatterySaver -- APN/Autosync ctrl based on SignalStrength & Time

[Guest wjaxxx]

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!!!

Very nice idea.

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!
