Hi
Does anyone know application that can do below process?
I would like start my device WIFI on predefined time /intervals and after certain connection time disable it again until next prescheduled time.
The idea behind is to turn the WIFI on to download my emails then turn off again and save battery power.
thanks
You shoulb be able to do that with PhoneAlarm from pocketmax:

Dear all,
I'm wondering about Wifi telephony on the QTEK 9100.
It works fairly well with various software soutions. However, the phone has to stay "fully on" (except backlight) in order for th Wifi connection to remain up. This alters battery life severely.
I'm wondering if it is possible to have the Wifi connection stay up during power save mode, with some kind of "Wake on WLAN" event that would wake up the phone so that IP phone software can process incoming data.
Some of it already happens for GSM. I'm wondering whether the GSM part is "fully independant" (like on a different processor), or if it's handled by the main processor. In the later case, it may be possible to achieve something similar with Wifi telephony.
Thanks in advance for any hint.
so there is no way having WIFI enabled and lettign the pda go to sleep mode / power save mode ??
is there an APP that leaves power save mode off if the WIFI is enabled, so only the screen goes of light, and the pda stays on ?
P.

It's fully independent. It's very cleverly written; this is why, for example, listening to incoming IMAP IDLE or Push Mail callbacks don't require the CPU at all.
yes i got that part on my own, thats why the GPRS connection stays on... but still there should be a registry somewhere to prevent device to go to sleep if WIFI conneciton is made..
tried all the powermode stuff in regisrty, nothn worked... out of clue...

I don't think you can do this - the WI-Fi module is completely independent of the radio module. Furthermore, you'll constantly need a LOT of power to keep the Wi-Fi connection up, as opposed to GSM/GPRS, where handshaking is only done during roaming to another cell and/or every (AFAIK) 10-20 minutes. Otherwise, the PDA doesn't trasmit anything, a sopposed to the Wi-Fi case.
That is, it seem sit's impossible to do any long-term Wi-Fi "listening" in the current Wi-Fi / PPC architecture.

all i need is a tool that disables POWERSAVE mode if WIFI connections is made, or even if WIFI is enabled...
that would do all the work....
anyone ?
i think the closest thing is in phm powertoys (http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/PowerToys/)
the screensaver option... what it does is turn off your touchscreen like in "sleep" mode but if u use this you might want to disable the power save option cause while u have screensaver on its still gonna count down n shut off ur ppc hope this helps!

SKSchema should work nicely for you: http://www.s-k-tools.com/skschema/skschema.html
You can use it for lots of other tricks too.

Hi, basically I would like to recieve email based on a time schedule (10-15 minutes)while Im on a wifi network. To achieve that, I used some wifi tweaks...
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Suspend\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}]
@=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Unattended\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}]
@=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Resuming\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}]
@=dword:00000001
but they just set wifi not to turn off. So the battery drain is huge.
A perfect solution would be connecting to the wifi every 10 to 15 minutes for a few seconds, to check email, and then turn wifi off.
Any help is appreciated!
If you poll outlook mail try asynckiller.

I've created a Script (Mortscript) to power on WiFi with WiFi profiler [1] and check whether there is a WiFi accesspoint available, if not enable GRPS/UMTS/HSDPA to synchronize email.
After that the script closes the Connections and turns off WiFi and finally reschedules the next synchronisation time
The only problem is that Mortscripts do not run in unattended mode[2]. So I need to find a solution for this remaining issue.
Alternative: perhaps someone here is able to convert the Mortscript to a little program, and includes the calls to put the device in unattended mode and exit from unattended mode at the end [3]

I agree, this is one of the features I do miss the most in WM (Smart Power management of the WiFi radio)
have you tried to reduce battery drain during suspend? During this state (suspend) nothing will happen on any connection, so WiFi can be powered off.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Suspend\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}]

Let hope someone will help us to get the script running during Unattended mode....
i'm bumping this in the hopes that someone found out a solution to this problem. Data plans are very expensive where I live now and i would like the phone to check for a wifi connection every 10 to 15 minutes even on standby (suspend) mode to check emails and disconnect after that.
Would really appreciate it if someone has any idea.
Hi, well, there is a solution, ct scheduler lite http://www.connectivetools.com/download.php?name=ctslite_ppc . install the attached WLAN switch, add the shortcut into the scheduler then after 10minutes again....it does not recognise if its turning wlan on or off...
After you turn wlan on, the device wakes up, so if you have mortscript you can add the attached scripts also to the scheduler.
good luck!
Hi
is there any program which turns on WIFI for windows email checking and turn it off afterward(even in standby state)?
Would LOVE it !
Yes there is But, its not free, it's $10.00. The app is called "ct scheduler" It'll allow you to turn on/off wifi at anytime you like and however many times you like. Theres more features also, like turning on/off bluetooth, sending a sms at a given time, schedule a softreset, adjust volume at chosen times, and more. i love this app, but again, it's $10.00.

try sk tools i think they have something that will do it or a app that will

I think you mean SKSchema.
What I'm looking for is this:
An app that uses the GPS to turn WiFi ON at predetermined coordinates.
So for example, I walk to the coffee shop, GPS knows I'm getting close, turns WiFi ON. WiFi auto-connects while I'm there, as I step out, it times out at the preset time (part of wm6). I drive to the office, again, GPS know to turn Wifi ON and phone then auto connects to the network there. Same when I get back home.
This will save me some $ on data plan and get me a faster connection when I'm in a friendly wifi zone.
Thoughts?
hi, i have a Froyo HTC Desire there's a couple of thing I want to know.
I usually have a lot of correspondence via email (especially multiple gmail accounts) and i use my phone primarily when at home or on the go.
i set autosync and background data enabled all the time and set to update on very little intervals.
next, at work, i'll be relocated to a spot in the office that doesn't get any 3g/2g reception at all. and since i can access my mail through PC, i'm planning to just switch my phone to Flight mode while on my desk.
now my question. i've read a hundred times that Autosync eats a lot of jiuce. IF I put my phone in flight mode, and have no active connections or means to connect to any network, will Autosync still persist on connecting / syncing and drain my battery? or do i also have to manually turn background sync and autosync off?
if yes, is there an app that will disable Autosync persistence if flightmode is on or wifi/APN is off?
thanks in advance

Hi,
If I understand correctly you want to switch off any data communication of your phone.
I use a combination :
Sync Settings Version 1.0 - Free App
It places on your desktop a widget with 4 options.
wifi - on\off
Blu Tooth - on\off
Gps - on\off
Sync - Enable ..lets apps sync (incl Gmail.) Disable it disallows.
Brightness - quick controll over screen brightness
The second App I use is the DCSwitch - Free App
Creator described it best:
Code:
DCSwitch turns your data channel on/off to save battery power and/or bytes on a limited data plan.
Similar apps mangle the APN list of your phone, potentially leaving it with corrupt entries.
DCSwitch uses android's undocumented services to enable/disable the data connection in a clean, mean and concise manner.
With usig both of this apps ive been able to boost my battery life Alot. Also save some money on traffic.
Hope this helps you.
rgrds!
