Android :: Battery - Wifi 3g Gps Schedule?
Sep 20, 2010
Is there any app's out there that you can put your wifi 3g gps etc on a schedule. Mainly to turn off like 12:00 AM to save battery, and turn back on at whatever time you set? I know there are some that will turn your wifi and 3g (user set) off if your battery gets below a certain point (user set) but these are like $3.00. To me it seems like a rip off, since its such a simple app... Anyways does anyone know of an app like this, if not would anyone be interested in developing it? Seems simple for someone who knows how to create app's. The reason I think this would be better than the battery manager's that just shut your data wifi and gps off after your battery hits a certain % is because sometimes your battery will be just charged but you will go to sleep at night leaving your wifi/3g on and your battery will drain until it hits whatever %, then the manager will turn your data off. Meanwhile you just lost a whole lot of battery that you didnt need to.

I'm new here, and have a question: Why is it that wifi eats more battery than 3g?

Is there an app that will remind you of when you favorite shows are coming on and or back on tv for the season and show you a schedule of them? I would love it if there was, that's better than constantly searching on my dvr.

I have the Moto Droid, and I have to enter into the calender my work hours. Is there an app (or someone should make one), where you can put in your work schedule and be reminded?

on my Treo I used to have an app called "Radio" which allowed me to schedule a time to shut off my wireless connection and turn it back on. This was a useful tool for saving battery life. Anyone have experience or suggestions with a similar Android app?

Is there an app that will allow me to repeat a schedule? For example, my wife has a set 8-week schedule that repeats until infinity. I can't find one that will allow me to put in each day she works for those 8 weeks, then have it repeat in order.

When is my bus? Start Buster, and you'll instantly know just when your bus will arrive at your stop. Uses your phone's location sense to find your stop and your buses, with a single click. Buster supports the metropolitan transportation networks of Austin, Boston, Denver, and Sacramento. More cities soon (including Los Angeles by the weekend with luck).

I am looking for an app that kills tasks that are running on a schedule. To be able to choose how often it kills the tasks, 5 or 15 or 30 minutes. So I can have the app running and know that every lets say 15 minutes it kills the tasks that I selected to always be killed I would prefer this method over screen blank apps that kill tasks.

There seems to be a couple of ways to go about having a background task being executed. My usecase is to have my app fetch a datafeed every x minutes, regardless of my gui is running, and regardless of whether the phone is sleeping or not. I use an alarmmanager to schedule an intent matching a broadcastreceiver. in the onRecieve method i start a service (startService), which spawns an AsyncTask. The task fetches data and stores it and then stopSelf() the service.
in the onRecieve method i aquire a PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, before starting the service, and just before calling stopSelf() in the service, i release it again. Is this really the best way to do it? Do i even need the service in this scenario? I experience odd behaviour with this setup, where the setup works for hours and then suddenly stops, which makes it very hard to debug. Does anyone have a simple foolproof method to achive the same end?

To make some action for some time I found that there are several choices:
use AlarmManager
use ScheduledExecutorService
use Handler's method postDelayed
What is big difference of all this? What is the best practice of making schedule action?

Could someone explain how to use the Timer.schedule - that is used for scheduling tasks - in Python? Note that Python's time.sleep will not work in Android.

Is anybody aware of an app that will sync with my calendar for my rotating schedule? I work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and every other Saturday Sunday, from 1545 to 0145. I've tried the reoccurring event, but I don't want to have to go through and delete every other Saturday Sunday. I would like to be able to set it so I can enter it, and it will set it up for a couple years.

I'm currently working on an app for the android os that requires to fetch data from a remote server from time to time. as this "update" should be carried out even when the actual frontend app is not running, i implemented a remote service that is started on system boot. now i need to schedule a timer to start the update. is the "Timer"-class the right one for this job? and if "yes": what is the difference between a "normal" Timer() and one started as a "daemon" by Timer(true)?

I need to be able to schedule multiple Notifications at different times in the future.
I tried doing this with an AlarmManager, but that isn't suitable, for the following reason. From AlarmManager.set(): "If there is already an alarm for this Intent scheduled (with the equality of two intents being defined by filterEquals(Intent)), then it will be removed and replaced by this one."
Guess what, the sending intents are equal, apart from different Extra's (but those don't count for filterEquals).
So how can I schedule multiple notifications, which will still be shown when my application is killed (the whole reason I tried AlarmManager)?

Ok I'll admit it I've been watching Engadget's live blog of the iPhone 4 debut. Something interesting stuck out at me however. In one of the keynote slides, Jobs pointed out the iPhone actually gets better battery life while on WiFi vs 3G. Normally I switch WiFi off when I'm not using data, syncing will still access 3G when I'm at home and I'll do occasional browsing at home as well. Would I be better off accessing data using WiFi when available rather than 3G? I guess a better way to pose the question is, does the 3G radio use more power then WiFi?

I have a listview with 200 items. I use a custom view for each row. There is a code that takes some time to calculate, and because of this the list hangs out on scrolling and loads in slow (2-3sec). I have subclassed SimpleCursorAdapter, and using Filterable and SectionIndexer. I have in mind to show initially the name of the record, and put in a thread the calculation, and will show up later when it's done. How do I push back some work, and later update the listview to include the calculated data? This should show up on fly without user interaction.

I am currently using the calendar that came on my Captivate. I like that it syncs with Google. The problem I am having is in scheduling repeating events. If I create an event in Google calendar on the desktop, I can schedule it to repeat every other week. I cannot find this choice if I create an event on the android calendar. On my Captivate, I only see weekly, monthly, etc. Is there a way to schedule events to recur every other week on the Android? Maybe I'm just missing it. I learn new things on this phone every day.

How can I execute an action (maybe an Intent) on every specified time (e.g. Every day on 5AM)? It has to stay after device reboots, similar to how cron works.
I am not sure if I can use AlarmManager for this, or can I?

As an experiment I set all my internet apps - backup assistant, gmail, people, calendar, news, weather, amazon, stocks, facebook, etc, etc, ETC, to not automatically update, sync, refresh or do anything on the internet without my say-so. I then turned off my phone, put a full charge on it and turned it back on again to reset the timer for Settings > About phone > Battery > Battery use. For the next 6 hours I made a few phone calls while I was not in range of any wifi; I used a few local (non-internet) apps like calculator and stopwatch and camera but I did NOT use any internet apps. At the end of that time "battery use" showed Wi-Fi at 30%, Cell standby at 28% and voice calls at 6%. So why is WiFi so high? Is that just from some "keep alive" or beacon or polling feature? Or is there some app or process I don't know about using the WiFi connection, and how do I tell?

I decided to do a little test with my Evo. Yesterday my battery drained out in 3 hrs at work with the Wifi off. Today I turned on my wifi at work and I got 7 hrs before recharging the battery. Weird I thought if Wifi is on it would drain the battery faster.
