Heyhey,
is it possible to activate Wlan for a certain time automatically?
Example:
At 6:00 my HD2 should update my E-MAIL,RSS,TWEETS,Facebook while using WLAN. It should deactivate the airplane and connect to my wlan-network, while it is sleeping.
While I haven't looked in to it, it may be possible with scheduled tasks. I'm assuming here that Windows Mobile has a task scheduler like that of its big brothers in the PC world...?

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:

I switch wireless OFF, some time later, it all of a sudden is ON
I'm using Elegancia ROM now, but have had it before on Miri ROM as well (same base).
I used task manager to debug, since I suspected ActiveSync to be responsible which I have set to sync every 10 min, but no luck.
(!) possibly related: weather for "my location" only wants to update when I'm at home and connected to my wireless network. Update is not working when I'm at work and using Edge GSM. Again, I've had this before as well, and problem disappeared automatically since I flash a new ROM every few days Any ideas? It's driving me nuts! I can't have Leo win over me
This is a bug, that happens if you use a third party tool to turn off WLAN.
If you use the comm-manager, it won't come back.
It's related to activesync in following situation:
Third party tool disables WLAN, while activesync (especially direct push) and gsm/umts data-connection is running.
-> entering no coverage of data-connections or roaming situation will trigger WLAN on.
There is NO tool on the market, that will turn off WLAN like the comm-manager does. Even not G-profile.
I was thinking of running comm-manager with a command line switch to toggle wlan, but I don't think there are such switches.
Well, I think we'll have to live with this (this is a really old bug)
Hello. I'm sure that this must have been discussed but I cannot find the answer using search. As is surely normal, I use WiFi within the home and GPRS when there is no WiFi available. If WiFi is connected and I go out for a short while, then when I get back in a WiFi area, the WiFi is still connected. However, if I go away for a long time, and GPRS is used for perhaps a regular weather update, then the WiFi disconnects and has to be manually reconnected upon return to home. This leads to GPRS being used in a WiFi area unnecessarily if you forget to re-connect WiFi. Is there a WiFi connection timeout value or any other setting that can be changed? My old TyTN II did not have this problem. Thanks.
Try this CAB
It disable disconnecting WiFi when phone is in sleep mode and with this phone automaticly connects to WiFi when Leo will be in range.
Thanks Franq_23_pl. I think that the CAB just stops WiFi disconnecting when the device is in sleep mode. That will just drain the battery, surely? My old TyTN used to disable WiFi when in sleep mode, but as soon as you switched it on again, WiFi would be enabled and it would connect if in range. The problem with my HD2/Leo is that if I am away from my WiFi for some considerable time (ie, most of the day), then when I get back home and switch the device on, WiFi is disabled, and I have to manually toggle in on. So my question is..... What are the circumstances that cause WiFi to disable itself, and Is there some way of stopping it happening?
OIC now. I think you having some battery saving app and this app turning off WiFi when iz not used. What apps or registry mods you have installed on Leo?
You have the same behavior after hard reset?
My Leo don't disable WiFi. When i go outside (for ex to work) and back after few hours my Leo connecting to my home wireless network automaticly.
I remember, that i had the same problem like you and it was caused by app, which had duty to save battery.
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!
What app would enable wifi first and if unsuccessful gprs than check for mail every hour.Of course to disable the connection after certain period of time.
Thank you

Try Tasker, you can schedule all kinds of things with it.
Thank you for your reply.I tried tasker but it does not have this function or maybe I could not find it.
Wanted to do first wifi check to see if WIFI is near and collect the mail if WiFi is not near to automaticaly switch GPRS and collect mail. Turn off GPRS
Why? Your phone already looks for open wifi spots or spots you already logged in to. If it can't find any, it switches to your mobile internet connection. And it drops the connection after a while automatically..

Just set tasker to turn on wifi and mobile data every hour and turn them off again after a couple of minutes. If you have your mail set to sync automatically it will check for mail when a data connection becomes available, wifi first then mobile data.
As above though, not sure why you would want to do this. You could just change your sync schedule to hourly and the phone will connect automatically.
