Tried it since I really like the idea but when I turn the screen off it turns on again a few seconds later and has this app's enable screen showing.. Looks like it just keeps crashing.. Will keep an eye on this though.
[Android Apps and Games] HTCDreamOn:
Can you make a wifi version?

This looks great, but I don't use mobile data so this would be much more useful if it could do the same with wifi

Looks great though, keep up the good work :D
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Hi Jester23,

Thanks for the comments.

Can you elaborate more?

What rom are you using?

Do you have the icon enabled or disabled?
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Hmmm good idea, I'll work on it immediately :)
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
I'm open to open source.

Actually this is built using Tasker and Tasker App Factory.

There's only a little programming done here, basic if and else statements :P

If someone wants to help improve the program send me a message, but it will be few days before I can release the source. My backup failed and apparently deleted some lines of code. So I need to rewrite the codes :(
[Android Apps and Games] infernosoft:

i also face the same problm, running on SGS3 foxhound 1.2 ROM
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Okay found the bug that's causing all the forcecloses...

Sorry about that guys.

Uploading the new version now, give me a few minutes to post it in the 1st post
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
new version is up...

fixed that f/c bug and added 2 time modes, 5 mins and 10 mins

PS: My backup crashed so I had to rewrite some codes so not sure if all bugs are fixed.

Looking forward to trying this out.
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Opps, sorry

Link fixed :)
[Android Apps and Games] Whyzor:
I like the concept of keeping it simple and efficient. But a few concerns:

1) What is defined as active use? Most apps that drain the battery want to use the data connection, so wouldn't this just allow that to drain the battery? Maybe a more specific description is whatever foreground apps that need data allows it to turn on. Otherwise background apps or when sleeping is data off.

2) Currently I turn off/on data manually via a notification toggle, I don't get data notifications ever, unless I manually check. I setup SMS forwards of important notifications though so that allows the data to be off. It'd be nice to have an option to just keep data off when sleeping (in addition to 5/10/30 min intervals).

[Android Apps and Games] billcunha:
Suggestion

It would be interesting for you to choose the time that will be active data and time data are inactive?

Example: if the screen is off, the data will be turned off for 30 minutes and assets for 4 minutes.

Sorry for my bad English.

Thanks,

uhmm it's free, lightweight and very easy to use? But really if you have juice defender and know how to use it, you shouldn't be bothering with this app.
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
version 1.3 is up everyone..

should fix some f/c issues
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
I guess, but I dont have juice defender, and in my original post I did say that im just creating this app for fun and for my learning :)
[Android Apps and Games] hgoldner:
So far, no fc's on 1.3, and the icon now behaves consistently with the app. Will test it out tomorrow when I'm off wifi and on data.

Version 1.4 is out

Please see 2nd post for change log

Dropbox link is used :)
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Yes, I know that application. I saw it a few days ago.

I haven't tried it, but I think although similar its not exactly the same.

From what I understand that application switches to 2G mode when the screen is off?

Again, as I posted this numerous times already, I just want to create my own application for my own use, im just sharing :)

I didn't copy or decompiled any APKs for this project, this is built using Tasker and Tasker App Factory (the best app out there , please support Tasker).
[Android Apps and Games] nicolas996:
The main functionality are :

Switch to 2G when wifi is connected.

Switch to 2G when data is turned off.

If screen is off for more that 10 minutes (configurable in the app) it will switch to 2G

If screen is off and battery is below 30% (configurable in the app) it will switch to 2G

Network usage monitoring to prevent switching to 2G if network is being used.

3G can be re-enabled as soon as the screen is turned on or unlocked or it can be done manually

Option to Disable data before switching network. (Required on some phones/ROMs)

Option for manual switching back to 3G. This setting allows user to choose when to switch back to 3G by selecting a notification in the notification bar. Requires separate app located on market or use link below

Perhaps i'll give you some idea to improve your app
[Android Apps and Games] hgoldner:
1. If I pull down the notification bar and press the icon, the app does not come up. (The enable/disable icon button does work, though, and, unlike prior version, the app persists in memory --- 1.3 was disappearing).

2. If I disable the app, it turns off the mobile network, and a reboot is required to recover 4G/3G/1G. On reboot, mobile network comes up "off" and has to be turned on.

See setup below in signature.
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Oh, when clicking the icon the app doesn't really come up. I haven't implemented that feature yet, I have still yet to learn how to do that :)

This is something new I haven't heard about this issue before. Disabling the app does indeed turn off the mobile network, but on my device I dont need to reboot to recover 4G/3G/1G. Did you uninstall previous version before 1.4?

Then again, that's not suppose to happen.

I'll check it out immediately but I cant seem to emulate your problem.
[Android Apps and Games] hgoldner:
You are right; disabling the app DOES turn off mobile network, but I *do not* have to reboot to turn it back on. My bad. Apparently I was trying other things to recover the network (turning on/off 4G; turning on/off airplane mode) and I had not checked whether mobile network was on/off. The data icon disappears as soon as autodata is shut off, so I knew to look for it this time.

As far as the icon thing, well, you are a far more advanced programmer than I am, so I can wait. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] zool80me:
Just download n install

so far no force close notification work well

close the app didnt turn off mobile data

thanks mr providence
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Okay got the icon thing to work :)

I'll release it later today
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:

[Android Apps and Games] hgoldner:
Icon back to app not working on ICS.
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Can you try to uninstall the previous version before installing this one?

I have ICS and its working for me
[Android Apps and Games] Vcek:
Not installing on JB CM10 seems like a good app tho, been looking for it for a long time on markets.
[Android Apps and Games] hgoldner:
Nope. Will wipe cache/dalvik just in case the old code's in there and try again after reboot and report back. (In the middle of moving from one Rezound to a replacement, and trying to get the replacement unit set up, S-OFF, unlock the bootloader and get my nandroid over while playing with this, so just a little distracted.)
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
No need to wipe cache/dalvik :)

Just have to uninstall old one and install the new one.
[Android Apps and Games] hgoldner:
Well, I just completely installed everything on a brand new (okay, well, it was probably a refurb) warranty replacement Rezound, and on a custom ICS ROM running Sense 4.0 I cannot get the icon to take me back to the app. The app works, and I can turn the icon on and off (to remind me it is running), but I can't get back to the app from the notification icon.
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Can you try the going in the application, click disable Auto Data and click Enable Auto Data.

now click Close

Go to the notifications, and click Auto Data notification.

Does it work now?
[Android Apps and Games] tantin75:
I haven't tried yet this app but it looks promising ...

For those interested, here is an icon that I created. ;)

You can use it as you want (totally free to use).

[Android Apps and Games] hgoldner:
Yup. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Hey that's an awesome icon.

Thanks I'll use it on the next update :)
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Cool, I'll fix it on the next update.

Right now im working on version 1.6

I have fixed the screen resolutions problem, now its set to a smaller resolution so that it would fit every android device out there.

Also, I have added customizable time out times.

I'm just wondering what would be a good time intervals option

From 1minute to 20mins?
[Android Apps and Games] hgoldner:
How about 5 minute increments up to 30 minutes and a jump to an hour (sorta puts the unit in quasi airplane mode without touching it). Just a thought.
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Thanks for the input. I guess I can do that. Not sure if it will work to an hour though. Need to test this, since android has a deep sleep issue.
[Android Apps and Games] agentg1001:
More timeout options would be nice :D
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Yup, it will be available soon :)
[Android Apps and Games] atilla88:
Not working for me,first had to reboot 2 times to install it but the app didn't do anything so uninstalled.

Sad that there is no professional alternative.........
[Android Apps and Games] corneacraneo:
5, 10, 15, 30, 60 mins could be a great option

Enviado desde mi GT-I9300 usando Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Can you elaborate more?

After installation did you run the application?
[Android Apps and Games] hgoldner:
I understand what you mean about the 1 hour issue; might want to just keep it to 30 minutes with 5 minute increments.

Frankly, if someone wants to regularly shut off data for longer periods, they can do that from settings or use something like Tasker. Your app just provides a brainless (from the user's perspective) way of doing that for shorter increments.
[Android Apps and Games] atilla88:
Sure i ran the app checked that its enabled and tested it with 10 minute check interval.

Mobile data was on,checked after 10,20 and 30 minutes and nothing happened,tried it with 5 minutes and had the same.......nothing

And btw:can't read the instructions and if i rotate my device the app crashes

Greets
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Thanks for the quick reply.

When you said you checked after 10,20, 30 mins and nothing happened, was the data still on?

Cause if the data is on then its working.

The data turns on as soon as you turn on the screen :)

It only turns off and turns on automatically when the screen is off.

I'm still fixing the resolution issue, I made the resolution max to the resolution of my HTC ONE X, which looks good on my phone but bad on others.
[Android Apps and Games] spiral777:
Great app!

I have you're app on my photon, I get about another 4 hours of battery life with it...thnx
[Android Apps and Games] atilla88:
Its hard to believe that the phone connects back to mobile data in under a second,normally it needs a few seconds to connect back.

Maybe i'm simply wrong,i will run a few tests and check the data traffic,if there will be still mobile traffic in sleep mode then nothing happens.

I will report as soon as i can

Greets
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Okay what I did just now to test if it works or not.

I have made the data to turn off immediately right after the screen is off, and to turn on the data after 10seconds the screen has been turned on. So far it works. Do you want me to send you that test file so that you can see for yourself if it works?
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Thanks for your kind feedback! Glad it works for you. I've been getting extra battery life but I haven't really checked how much battery life I get.
[Android Apps and Games] isilter:
it's really nice idea. juicedefender does the same thing but it's smaller than JD and less complicated :)
[Android Apps and Games] atilla88:
Sure my friend :)
[Android Apps and Games] tranlm:
suggestion

hey there. I have a suggestion I'm hoping you can incorporate.

Currently, you have it set so that it toggles every 5 minutes or so. This still keeps the data on the same amount of time that it keeps it off every hour.

I'd like to see it customized so that the user can decide how long it's actually on per hour. So for example, lets say I want it on for only 5 minutes every hour (while the phone's screen is off). Then I'd set it so that it toggles on for 5 minutes, then off for 55, then on for 5, off for 55 and so forth.

In another example, I could have it toggle on for 5 minutes twice per hour. So it'd toggle on for 5 minutes, off for 25, on for 5, off for 25, and so forth.

It could be adjusted up to the point that you have it now, so that it's toggled on for 5 minutes six times per hour. So it'd toggle on for 5, off for 5, on for 5, and so forth.

The point of this is that the user would be able to decide how much they value their internet access, as opposed to how much battery they want to save.
[Android Apps and Games] Chelsea888:
Cool app, why not on Google Play?
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Because I dont have a google developer account, it requires me to pay $25.00 USD :(

What I can do to compensate about the cost is I can probably release a PRO version of Auto Data which will include more functionality.

What do you guys think?

Features of Pro vesion:

- Able to customize both time on and time out. (Increments of 1, from 1-30mins).

- Auto switch Wifi on when charger is plugged (option to enable and disable)
[Android Apps and Games] hgoldner:
Unfortunately, I think I found a problem. I activated the app around 6 pm tonight, but had the phone sitting idle from about 7pm on. A little after 11p the phone beeped to warn me power had dropped from over 80% to under 15%. Power showed that the phone had been "on" since I activated the app.

Have uninstalled to retest power use without it.

Dumped down the innertubes from my Rezound via xda premium.
[Android Apps and Games] ultra spikey:
This app does not work on my stock/rooted galaxy s2.. I can still receive Kik messages(uses data) while the screen is off.
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Please read the info on the 1st post. I dont think you quite understand what this application is suppose to do :)
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Are you using version 1.5?

I'll double check everything later today. But so far that hasn't happened on my HTC ONE X

Also make sure you haven't flashed a new ROM recently.

It takes a few recharge cycles to make the power more efficient after flashing a new ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] hgoldner:
Actually, I just did a flashover of an incremental update in my ROM, but that wouldn't explain your app's service as running nonstop in background, would it?

Dumped down the innertubes from my Rezound via xda premium.
[Android Apps and Games] ultra spikey:
I do understand... When the screen is off, data is off, but at the set interval the data will turn on. The way I tested to see if it actually works was..

1) enable Auto Data

2) put phone in sleep/standby

3) immediately from another phone, send a Kik message(uses data) to my phone

... My phone was still able to receive the Kik messages. I sent messages for at least 2 minutes, and they all went through real time.
[Android Apps and Games] jose.pakua:
interesting! is this working on jelly bean roms?
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Actually, the default setting i have is, when you turn off the screen, the mobile data is still on for 5mins before it turns off.

Try sending after 6mins?
[Android Apps and Games] hgoldner:
Can't explain, but now with app uninstalled, it appears it was keeping the handset "awake" thus burning through the battery. Much better battery life without it for me.

[Android Apps and Games] best98:
Hi,

I do like the idea and I am pretty conservative on the battery.

Here, I think you have a great app and idea, though I would love to have more settings.

FYI - I have a Widget called N8mod (Night mode) that will disable data, wifi, and set ringer tovibrate only (just push the widget button before going to bed and with your Android alarm clock, it will wake itself back on wifi and data when you will get up, all emails will also be synced at this time.

Anyway, I love your app, and think that maybe you could cut WiFi also.. maybe remove the 5 minutes of data just when screen goes down.

There could be easy way to set it up, just maybe as profiles with "Data+Wifi - Conservative" or things like that ..

Not so experienced on Android dv I have some knowledge though and could help you if needed.

Best regards and thanks for your app that works briantly on my galaxy note.

[Android Apps and Games] ultra spikey:
K that worked. I didn't know it didn't actually turn data off 5 mins after the display is off. Have you noticed if this app is keeping the phone from going to "Deep Sleep" when the display is off? I'll keep my eye on it some more but it looks like that may be the case.
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Would it be better to turn off the mobile data immediately after the display is off? Or keep the mobile data on for a few minutes before turning it off?

yes, I did make the app to prevent deep sleep. I've been running the app for 2 weeks without any problems now. I have modified the app now not to disable deep sleep, im testing it now if it is still going to work without it.
[Android Apps and Games] ultra spikey:
I say make it configurable if possible. I actually prefer to not have it disable data until 5 mins after the display is off. Leaving the app running all day, i did notice something else. While using the phone, my data connection would drop randomly.
[Android Apps and Games] nothingman1976:
Hi,

Is there a way to check that the data are disabled (a log file or something like that) ?

I'm tring to use this app on my "exotic" phone which is a ZTE U960 (the only one android dual sim full active) and it seems to me that it does not work...

Thanx!
[Android Apps and Games] spthacker:
I would have said killing data a min or two after display off is more than enough rather than 5?

Interested in the next version with deep sleep enabled personally.......
[Android Apps and Games] Trainer_H:
does it also work for JB?
[Android Apps and Games] ultra spikey:
Also, how about adding scheduling options? I can see where I would want this on during work hours, but maybe not so much after work.
[Android Apps and Games] giolloig:

I'm using better battery stats, your apps hit the partial wakelocks in working cycle.

is that avoid the meaning of saving battery?
[Android Apps and Games] tamfrr:
thanks. helps a lot
[Android Apps and Games] Glen L:
Based on my limited understand on how things work.

If the phone goes to deep sleep then it wouldn't run things on background which renders the application useless.

I've been getting mixed results whether it works or it doesnt work.

right now to find out if it really works, I have included the following in the next release.

- Debug mode

- Logs

Right now im still monitoring the logs of ON/OFF of the mobile data to see if it would work perfectly or not.

Im also holding out to release the next version until I get it 100% working and bug free. :)
[Android Apps and Games] best98:
Well I dont know if this app is the source of it because I tuned my phone a lot but again, all in one, it makes it awesome.

The Galaxy Note used to be 8 hours sleeping to drain my battery. For now, I have spent 25h and have 66% of the battery left.

Recently I flashed to Gnote 4.0.4, I m using another different 'light' kernel and I have this app running. I m definitely more than happy now :)

For those who ask, I still have deep sleep going in so the app doesnt prevent it.
