I used Nokia s60 series phones. and the best thing about them when they need internet connection first they the turn on wifi and makes updates then turn it of. if there is not wifi turn on the 3g connection. but at windows wifi stay on all the times and my battery cant stand more than 20 hours. if I dont turn wifi on my bill is rising :S
now here is the question
is there any program to do something like nokia connection manager?????

What do you mean by "turn on"? You realize it takes quite a while to "turn on" a WiFi connection because the antenna has to come on-line, find the correct SSID, and then connect to/associate with the WAP.
Same goes for 3G. The antenna has to come on-line, find the best tower, connect to/associate with it.

Why don't you...charge the phone while you sleep?
You do sleep more frequently than once every 20 hours, don't you?
I don't understand this laughable tendency for people to expect their phones to last more than one day on a charge, and then try for it, and then complain when it doesn't [last].
When you sleep, you are unconscious, you cannot possibly make use of your phone in that state. You lose nothing by plugging it into power overnight.
And then when you wake up, your battery is fully charged, and you're ready for another day.
Think with your head.

Anyone else noticed that the Jasjar will disconnect all network connections if you put in into standby for more than 5 mins?
my XDAII never did that and I keep my mesenger programs on all the time. The Jasjar drops me out after 5 mins of standby and its getting very annoying.
Anyone know if theres a hidden setting/registry setting i can force it to stay on? I dont have the dissconnect if not used checkbox checked for wireless and there doesnt seem to be one for GPRS/3G.
Thanks
Stot
Well it seems that its only doing this for my WiFi connection not GPRS/3G but its a pain in the posterior. Id like to recieve messages when in the warehouse on wifi and the unit is in standby :?

Do you have the power saving set for the WiFi?
well the best I can do is slide the slider to the "best performance" end and make sure the turn off if not used checkbox isn't checked. its not actually turning off the wireless its just dropping connection til I open the device agiain then it re-connects
cheers

Hmmm I was quite sure my MDA Pro didn't do that. You're right - it certainly doesn't for 3G / GPRS. Quite possible to close the device and leave it, then come back a bit later and still be on MSN etc.
but I thought mine did it on WiFi too?
For the mobile signal time to time it try to pick wcdma instead of GSM if it doesnt find the WCDMA then it goes for GSM... after a while again it search for it...
You can disable this by going to Start-Settings-Personal-Phone & Then under Band u will find Auto which you can set it to GSM which will stay to GSM instead searching for WCDMA time to time...
well if you would like to give it a try Timetex, and anyone else, I'd love to know if its just me. make sure GPRS doesn't kick in, maybe turn off the phone. I'm using Jasjars 1.13 updated rom from clubimate.

If anyone followed this and didnt like it either I came up with a work around.
I sent my power settings to NEVER turn off on battery. the Backlight still will but the unit doesnt. Now with the Jasjar we have a clam design and I dont know about you but when im not using it its closed, i.e. screen and backlight off.
Tested this all out today, on 3G and GPRS for 1/2 the day, WiFi the rest. Took a number of photos, listened to an album, made some phone calls. Average use. It lasted all day and still has 32% battery left. Plus when I open it up, BING its on every time and it stays connected to the WiFi.
Dont spose there are reg settings that decide what turns off when you close the clam?

search for "GPRS always on" - it;s solved several times on this forum
I've read on this for several days now, I've searched the forums and I just can't find an answer so here's my thread.
I've recently bought a G1 it's running JF_Holiday and I'm on AT&T with no dataplan. I have WiFi at home and at work and it's getting e-mails while I'm around the office that I care most about.
What I've found on the forums talks about Wifi shutting off while the phone is asleep. I have that solved with Wifi Lock. However, I juts can't get the phone to stay on a wifi network for an extended period of time. Both at work and at home if the phone is left for 30 minutes asleep in a strong signal location it disconnects from the wifi. The wifi will reconnect if shut off and turned back on.
Is there a solution to this anywhere? Just an app that I could turn on that would automatically reconnect to wifi indefinately would be nice. When I'm at work or home I'm not that worried about battery life I can charge it at any time. I am however, dissapointed that walking around work it can't stay connected to my e-mail. If I have to unlock it, disconnect/reconnect, and then wait to see if I have any e-mail I might as well walk back to my computer and look.
Also, I have Locale turned off, Battery Monitor turned off, and I can't think of any other app that could be messing with wifi. Can anyone help me here?
Edit: A few times it does manage to stay on for 1hr+ sitting at my desk. I guess it's possible that the problem is when there is a brief drop out in the signal it just doens't reconnect (or doesn't try enough times). Is there anything to address that? I was sure someone would have a way to aut-connect to a network indefinitely but I can't find that anywhere.
Wifi Disconnect
I might have found part of the problem. We use repeaters and a single SSID to cover a large area at work. I think there might be an issue with the G1 locking onto an accesspoint based on MAC address and not freely jumping between them. I've added one of the routers from the 2nd building as an accesspoint we'll see if that helps.
If that's the case can anyone help:
1 - Set it to swap access points based on signal strength
2 - Add all the access points, currently I try to find a spot that's out of range of the one I'm connected too and add a new network. It associates that network with the new AP and my signal strength goes up.
It might be that I just need a way to add multiple access points to the setup and then it will swap automatically, but it's hard to say b/c I honestly don't know where each AP is
Was having a debate elsewhere and a few of us have realised, that we are not actually sure what this does and if really required?
I turned mine off a while back for example and my widgets would still update as I wanted and I still received emails etc.
Therefore can anyone actually explain what "Always on Internet" is actual for?
I read a somewhere on Google that the G1 users in the past who used the "Always on" option, found that when they went abroad, they were getting charged a fortune in roaming charges. Is this a sneaky reason for it being included maybe?
There's another setting which enables / disables data whilst roaming.
Personally I have found that it is better to have the Internet Always on as it is quicker for any app to use the data connection. With it off, sometimes apps failed but since enabling it again, no probs

I think what the option does is leave the 3G or whatever connected so that when apps need it your phone doesn't need to reconnect each time.
Without it checked i imagine apps will connect the 3G, download the data they need, then disconnect the 3G connection.
Makes sense anyway, ive never had it off.
If you turn on the always on internet, your device will stay connected to the intenet so you dont have to keep connecting, if you turn it on, you can still connect to the internet when needed but it will turn it back off after x amount of minutes idle i think lol
@xxThugxx
Thanks for just rewording my post....
Cheers guys, have put mine back on, just hope battery drain doesn't get too bad.
I've had these issues ever since I bought the phone, but basically the data over WiFi just seems inconsistent. When I first connect via WiFi, it seems okay, but then after about 10 minutes or if I open the browser, it will just stop working completely. Sometimes it will work again if I disconnect and reconnect, but usually I just keep it off. I was hoping the official 2.1 update would fix this, but I have the same issues. Any ideas??

I have had problems similar to this with my phone the entire time I've had it. Yes, I discovered the "Always On" setting under wi-fi about two weeks after the phone came out.
I personally believe my phone just has some kind of hardware wi-fi problem, as it doesn't seem to be a common issue. My phone is actually slower on wi-fi than on 3G. I only get about 600 kbps down and 400 kbps up on wi-fi. Also, while running the Speedtest app, my speeds are very sporadic on wi-fi, and the little needle jumps all over the place.
Thanks for the replies! I see the option. The wording is strange though... "specify when to switch from wifi to mobile data" Does that mean it would only use wifi for 15 minutes at a time then switch back to 3G? That is weird... Can't understand why you wouLd want to do that... Battery maybe...
your router. that makes a MASSIVE difference in speed and reliability.
great example, i had a dlink i would get great speeds, 5-10 mbps on speed test. but after 15 min of no use it goes into sleep mode where my phone cant turn it back on so i have to reconnect every time. i sold it
got a newer cisco. i get 69-100 kbps but it doesnt sleep. its all about settings. search the router ip (i.e. 192.168.1.1-linksys) mess with wifi settings. helpsss aloottt
I would like to know the differences in battery life 3g vs Wifi. I also would like to know if the focus automatically cuts out 3g to use wifi; as i understand wifi is more efficient and usually faster bandwith rate. How do people have there settings configured wifi and data on, wifi no data, or data and no wifi?
wi-fi uses less battery and faster in general than 3G when actively transmitting data. Wi-fi uses more battery than 3G when your phone is standby and not transmitting much data.
Wi-fi will automatically cut off 3G when it is activated. However, if your phone is not plugged in, wi-fi will automatically be turned off when phone screen turns off.
I have data toggled off, and wifi on, I am revceiving text messages when the screen is turned off. Would that mean wifi hibernates and wakes up when someone is trying to contact the phone or that the wifi is on even when the screen is off?
Text message does not use wi-fi or Cell data. It is the same as voice calls.
You can tell that your wi-fi is off while sleep when you turn the phone on and look at the wi-fi icon.
There is really no reason the manually turn off the cell data unless you don't want to use it at all. Just remember to keep the phone plugged in when you have wi-fi access.
For me its pretty much the opposite. Having wifi on drains my battery very fast, even if I hardly use the phone. My battery is totally dead with very light usage by the end of the day. Turn off wifi and I'm still at 50% by the end of the day with the same usage. It's bad enough that I just don't use it anymore.

That's exactly what I have posted above. Nothing is opposite about what you have experienced. If you don't use data much, wi-fi ends up use more battery than 3G. If you use a lot of data, e.g. browsing internet for hours, 3G uses more battery than wi-fi.

Michael, awesome article so officially wifi uses less than 3g. furthermore, if you use wifi and your screen goes off the wifi rests until your screen is back on using even less battery.
