Im looking to see if there is an app that will turn off wifi when the screen turns off and switches it back on when you unlock the screen again.
The captivates wifi sleep policy is broke when not set to "never" so hoping there is an app to do the above or maybe it wouldn't be hard to make.
Recommend posting questions in the Q&A section next time, but a great app for that would be Tasker. Allows you do to that and a lot more conditional settings with your phone. Can buy it from the Market.
ultimate juice, the paid version..
juice defender, the free version..

Ok thanks for the tip. Will post in qa next time. Might need some dev help though figuring out why the wifi policy isn't working
Download Ryanza lagfix and there is a built in option called wifi timeout. Its also free

Apologies if this has been said already.
Good post!
Some apps gathered and despatched location information even when an application was not running and some sent updates every 30 seconds.

First of all, anyone have a list of the apps? And secondly, could the above be the reason that alot of people running Android suffer worse battery loss than others?
u can find a setting like that next to the gps switch in the settinngs menu

Nope, apps on the android market are not vetted or checked.
You are expected to check the permissions an app uses, and decide to install or not. When one of our team published an app, it appeared within seconds on the market available for install.

Im not so much annoyed they are getting information from me. At the end of the day there is very little information they can take.
BUT:
I am annoyed that apps are doing things I have not asked them too. Thats the single most annoying thing an application can possibly do!
I want my phone to do what I ask of it.
Not what some developer wants... What are they? A bunch of little steve jobs?!
Im glad the devs here are trustworthy..
Here is an app that is free on the market that will greatly reduce the strain on your battery as it runs in the background. It easily added an additional 2 hours for me to the battery life. Its called "SuperPower". If you search the market for XDA Super Power, it will come up. Run it the first time and let it set itself up, and grant it root privlidges.
DO NOT MESS WITH THE SETTINGS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, BECAUSE YOU MAY SOFTBRICK IT AND HAVE TO DO A FACTORY RESET.
It will not work properly if your device is not rooted.
Again this is free app, with a nag-screen that occasionally come up that you can click no and it goes away. Or, if you like the work that XDA did and want to pay for the app you can as well through that nag-screen like I did and it will get rid of the nag and you get full support and updates. And the money goes toward offsetting the cost of XDA forums.

Thanks for the tips.
Unfortunately, I tried the beta version and seems it did not get an update since Nov last year. And almost no one is maintaining it. (Maybe if I purchase the full version there will be more maintainence?)
Not sure if anyone else found this or if it is in other ROMs but in 2.3.4 HKTW ROM you can customize the app launched by double tapping the home button to whatever you want. You just need to change the line 'double_tap" in the settings storage (com.motorola.blur.providers.settings) settings.db. It requires you to put in the <full app name>/<full app process> (not sure the way I said that is right) like com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.im/com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.im.YahooMessenger
Just realized I probally should have put this in general not Dev....sorry. Dev's if you can put this into an app or something that be sweet too.
I thought you can change that in settings in froyo.. Can you not in gb?
Xda app via atrix
In stock froyo for ATRIX there was a limited number of options for double tapping home

Yes, but this trick work also on froyo..
In settings storage->settings.db->settings->double_tap
I think it would be good to be part of atrix mods app!! NFH should add this!

sorry, i don't want to be the bad guy, but i have seen this on all stock firmwares...nothing new, just another great "dev" post, like the haptick feedback one...
please let keep this forum clean for real developing mods. Use general for discovered little things.

orly? You can set the home double tap to launch yahoo instant messenger with your stock motoblur launcher?
Ooo I see. Cool I can maybe launch swipe pad with this.

Yea thank you for explaining to me that which I already mentioned in my own post (That it should have went in General).
what is the string if i want to set phone wakeup/sleep if double tap
I don't think you can. Problem is two fold.
1) you need an app to call
2) the touchscreen turns off when the screen is off and if this did not happen then it would cost a lot of battery life.

Hi Devs.
As the topic title suggests i would like to make a request about a specific function in my Note.
I would like an app or something that automatically disables Background Data and Auto Sync after a period of time. The reason of course being battery drain.
I tend to enable Background Data and after i do my business i tend to forget it on and it crunches my battery.
Could any of you with the technical knowledge help me out?
Thank you
Edit/ Does anyone know how to do the above with a known app or anything? I tried Tracker but got even more confused.
Thanks
Did you try tasker or llama? I personally use llama. I use it keep active background d sync on at work or home. And off otherwise.

Yes, i thought so myself, but due to the nature of the request i didn't know where it would fit best. I posted it here where it would get some developers attention for sure.
I will have to look at those applications and see what they do to answer whether or not they do what i want.

Understood.
I think u r now at right place to question, n u dont need new development, just use phone weaver application. It is enough, even much more function you will get.
Probably too obvious, but hold the power button for a second, select disable data?

Thank you. I will check this app tomorrow. I hope it does what i need.

I just tried that but i noticed that disabling the data network mode(when you press the power button for awhile) does not switch off the Background data option in Accounts and Sync. Unless of course it stops the data from running without apparently changing the setting anyway...
You may want to take a look at the JuiceDefender apps, in the Custom setting, under schedule, you can change background data sync setting
Wondered if anyone else has problems getting some of the tasked stuff to work with lolipop. I personally can't get secure settings plugin to work now with the pattern lock disable and re enable. any ideas?
Same issue. It'll "fix" itself to the correct seeing after a reboot. Haven't worked on it to figure out why though.

I appreciate it but I think I will wait on a legit fix from the devs. I guess that's the price you pay when you have the newest of the new.

No worries. It seems like the device admin isn't sticking (as mentioned in one of the links) When I toggle it then it toggles the pin. Until it's officially fixed I've resorted to using location trusted places (hope they do a Wi-Fi trusted location soon).

I actually removed some of the deeper system level tasks I've been using with securesettings in the past on my N6. I assumed many of them wouldn't work with the new OS and didn't feel like mucking around with them. If possible, the devs will figure it out eventually.
Thread revival!
Hey guys, I'm looking into buying a Nexus 6 and I was wondering if all of the tasker problems have been resolved by now?

Awesome. Thanks for the quick reply!
Anybody know why Tasker can't turn on WIFI tether through either the system or secure settings? I've tried this now on three different ROMs.
So I found a workaround---- visit the Tasker Groups at this post here.
