Hey There!
i'm searching for an app that provides me automatic connection settings - based on fav. locations.
For Example:
I'm coming home, the app should disable 2g/3g connection and enable wifi!
Now when i'm leaving the app should turn off wifi an enable data.
I've tested jucie defender and this doesn't work for me. I tested tasker, too. But it is a little bit to much ...
Did you have any suggestions?
Thx.
Try this. Until now i'm satisfied with the tool.

Hi,

b) when i am in the car I need blue tooth enable, wifi disable
c) when i am at work, bluetooth disable, wifi disable, and data connectin via tmobile disable.
etc...

Toggle Settings from the market seems to do most of this, although not sure about turning off the data connection. You can set it to 2G though.
I think Locale would do some too - it can be set to behave in a certain way when at a certain location - I've NEVER used it though, just read about other users using it for this kind of function so check it out
hi,
thanks for your quick responses.
yes local will do some of it, but i mainly needed to change profile as an when i needed, i.e. not based on geographical location.
if you come across any other application please let me know. i am sure this sort of application will be really useful for lot of other people.

You can also try "Ear" it does almost everything except the data connection part
the 5 widgets you can get (hold finger on empty space -> htc widget -> settings) will do this... sure, you don't get the benefit of pre-sets (there _will_ be an app that will do this, somewhere) but it's totally flexible
you can certainly do the "wifi on / bluetooth & data off" and vice versa for leaving the house via locale... might be able to get by with manual toggles after that (or also have a location for work)
location works great!
try it!
I am using APNdroid app for switching data connection from WIFI to 3G. However, I need to restart the phone every time to make it work.
Is this normal ? or Is there anyway we can fix it? I have searched through all the threads but didn't get much info.
Your help is much appreciated.
Not the answer to your question, but if you turn off 3G *only* when you turn on Wi-Fi, you don't have to do anything. While connected to Wi-Fi the data connection isn't on.
If you leave 3G on, Wifi (when enabled and connected) will disable 3G. Also superpower (in the app store) will turn off wifi and 3g when the screen is off. I also recommend Power Control Plus which provides a widget in which you can customize each button and toggle 3G and Wifi on the fly.
Thanks for the replies guys...To be more specific on the problem , I don't have any issue while I am on wifi its only when I switch to 3G...i tried beautiful widgets also ...looks like the problem is with phone rather than app

switching wcdma to gsm gives problems here too, .. so i wont!
Okay as written on topic header I want to achive battery gain by automatically turn on 3G only when mobile data is switched on otherwise 2G should be active(so 3G and mobile data can be switched only by turning on mobile data). I tried to find some apps from playstore but there are only mobile data switcher and 2G-3G toggles(which only directs you to settings page). I can try tasker but I'm not very sure about it because it is also a background service so maybe it will consume more battery. What I'm trying to say is there any way to modify kernel or system apps so this task can be achived ?
That makes no sense... 2G is mobile data too. You can't use 2G data if mobile data is turned off, for obvious reasons.
You just need a 2G/3G toggle. Tasker would be a good solution, or perhaps Xposed framework with Gravitybox custom quick tiles.

I mean in mobile settings preferred mode should be always 2G for talking but when I switch data enable it should automatically select preferred mode 3G. So when I'm not using internet 2G should be selected what when I choose to use mobile data it should automatically select 3G (I happen to believe when 3g network is selected -even without data- consumes more battery and try to search for 3G signals which has no benefit for talking.)
Btw I tried to use tasker but android is not giving me permission to toggle 2g/3g network. shame I'm rooted, is there any way to get permissions for toggleing between 2G/3G without getting a shortcut to settings page(every toggler just giving a short cut and in Tasker 2G/3G toogle is unselectable and red)
Give Intelli3G a try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2580234 works for me and has been the best battery saving method I've found.
I guess I need to modify system files on developer level which I do not dare, but I like gravitybox but now I miss ART anyway thank you both I guess I will stick with gravitybox
Hi, I suddenly don't have the thierd option in location settings which was to get location access based on wifi or mobile network. I attatched a screenshot from my phone please help how can I have it back ?
It should automatically use WiFi or mobile data if you turn it on. So that's all the options you need.

You can't disable Google location services on KK easily anymore. Built in and "permanent" on.
Hey guys I know there's a way to automatically connect and disconnect Wi-Fi I thought it was called Smart Switch but apparently it's not does anyone have any idea what it's called?

Smart Switch is for moving content between devices.
Smart Network Switch is for automatically moving from WiFi to Mobile Data, in theory without losing ongoing connections.
The Edge Panel "My Places" can be configured to automatically enable/disable WiFi (and other things) based upon your location (location being configured a small number of ways).
There's probably an App to do it another way (like Wi-Fi Matic - which I've never tried - linky).
It took me a minute to find it but if you go into Wi-Fi settings & tap "more" you'll find the smart network switch option.. It used to be under advanced & somehow I was just missing it when I went to the advanced settings
