tobykurien / BatteryFu

BatteryFu (pronounced Battery-Foo, like in Kung-Fu) is an Android app that extends battery life (and lowers data usage) by changing always-on mobile/wifi data to periodic sync (meaning it disables your mobile data and/or Wifi, then checks your accounts every X minutes).

3G-2G switch #8

Closed gabviv73 closed 10 years ago

It would be nice to add an option to force 2G connection to save battery, and the option to switch to 3G when display is turned on. This may increase battery life too.

There is no API support for switching between 2G and 3G, as far as I know, so this feature can't be implemented. In general, I leave my phone on 2G all the time (with BatteryFu toggling it), and manually switch to 3G only when I want it (which is not often).

Yes, me too. I'm using Cyanogenmod, and I saw there is a toggle, so I believed that there was a way to toggle it from an app too.
