Does anyone know of a program like sleepwell! that will work with the MDA? I'd like to turn off my phone radio before I goto bed, and then have it turn on when I get up. That way I don't get calls, and save battery life.
Thanks.

I just tried this, but for some reason after the app turns the phone off, when it tries to turn the phone back on it doesn't work all the way. The app turns the radio on, but I can't connect to my carrier. I had to goto comm manager and turn the radio off and then back on again....strange..
Hmmm... I think I just found a way to really screw up your phone... let's see what you think of my theory:
1. Put your phone into Airplane mode. This will completly turn off all the radios in the phone.
2. Go into settings and set an unlock pattern.
3. Put your phone into standby mode and turn it back on.
4. If you use up all of your tries at the unlocḱ screen you will have to enter your login details to unlock it. BUT THE PHONE IS STILL IN AIRPLANE MODE. Hence, the phone will not be able to connect to Googles servers for verification. And the worst thing is that not even a shut down of the phone will remove the airplane mode. Not even a removal of the battery.
THe only way to get out of this is to do a hardware reset of the phone.
What do you this of this?
I am not gonna test my theory since I don't want to risk having to do a hardware reset.
I think before the phone tries to connect to the Google service it will prompt you with a 'turn off airplane mode/turn on mobile data/WiFi' option, like it does when you open an app that requires WiFi or GPS when those radios are switched off.

Nah... I am not going to get close and personal with my theory on this one... Just let's hope you're right... someone else might need to do a hardware reset?
A quote from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4351252&postcount=13 this post says it all...
Hereby can any available moderator close this thread since I have gotten my answers...
Why is it apps like Google maps etc allow the phone to goto sleep.
Surprised they don't have the option to prevent this?
I am going to have an accident while re-swyping the phone as the screen dimm's again.
The navigation app doesn't allow the phone to go into sleep for me. Maybe it's because I always have external power when I use it, but I don't think so.

i can confirm that the nav application doesn't sleep on my HD2.. so must be the settings on your phone?
I've been using co-pilot now for a few days and given the navigation system in the Android build a go to, mine does sleep when I'm just viewing the streets and haven't activated any sort of navigation route, but when I enter a destination, it stays active, so as stated above, it could be within your settings perhaps.
Hi, is there a way to keep wifi ALWAYS on?
My mom doesn't have a data plan, she doesn't need one. She spends 22 hours a day at home with a wifi connection, so I got her this phone. But the problem is that wifi automatically turns itself off after a while! She has to turn it on to get the notifications. Is there a way to always keep it on so that notifications always come through? I've tried the battery management profiles, but unless I'm doing something wrong, it doesn't work correctly!
Any ideas? Apps? Or tweaks or something?
Thanks!
NEVERMIND! FIXED IT! I couldn't find the sleep policy but now I did ^^ Thanks guys!
OK, NEVERMIND! It's STILL not working! I got the policy to ALWAYS ON, but after a little bit the wifi connection disconnects! I went through the battery saving profiles as well, and same thing. Is there an application or a setting I can use to fix this?
Thanks!
you can try "soft locker" apps in market to keep your phone not "100%" sleep when the display turned off . .

I'll give it a try. What about any of those battery saving apps? The ones that auto turn on / off your wifi and 3G based on time. Do you think any of those could also work? I wrote Motorola and let's see what they say.
Thanks though I"ll give it a try today

any idea ?
Yes! +1
I have wondered the same thing. I have a evo running MIUI 1.9.9 w/ Tiamat 4.0.7 sbc. And my awake is consistantly over 90%
Is there a way we can just force the phone to sleep when the screen is off? Better yet can we pick what apps are allowed to keep a wake lock and which ones cannot?
