Paid and still working with it

I popped for the $1.28 to get the full version so I could adjust the schedule. With the number of items I sync I needed the connection to be longer than 20 seconds, as that was barely enough time for anything to know that a connection was available. Currently I'm at 20 minute intervals with 3 minute connection time. Going to see how this affects battery. Also, I have found that it is just a matter of developing a habit of setting the connection to stay on before activating an app that requires it (like XDA-developers, Youtube, etc.) The suggestion I mentioned earlier would still be a good idea (app detecting when the user needs a permanent connection) but I can only imagine how difficult it would be to program it to know how to figure this out. Maybe it's better this way, unless it isn't as complex as I imagine.

Anyway, great app and I hope it will help me with battery life.

Hi i'bought your apps. ;)

I'm on S2 device and apps work pretty good. simple as possible, i like that.

I set on 30min 45sec and probably 5min/45sec for the week end.

My battery life is about 48h before i was at 20... it's amazing.

Bugs : (certainly know)

One know bugs is the screen on.

Wish :

And if it's possible in a next release, i would like suppress the notification icon.

A more beautiful widget. Just like the power management it will be perfect. Or better, a customizable one.

Connections on when the screen is on.

I think it's all

Thank's for your app

Sorry for my bad English ^^

Data Easy release 1.6

...as required:

This is a major release.

Added an option to Automatic Connect when Screen is On and Cyclically Connect when Screen is Off; you can forget to switch the connections!

Added the "Wake Lock" option: enabled it if the Connection don't work while the Screen is Off (while the device is sleeping), if no problem, disable it to avoid automatic screen on.

Added a new bigger Widget.

Improved graphics of the app and the Widget.

Little bugs fix.

Changed help.

Thanks for the suggestions and those who have tried my App. :)

[Android Apps and Games] altae:
Thanks for the update. The app behaves as expected, data connection is active when the screen is on and activated cyclically when the screen is off. On my Galaxy Note the wake lock feature is not necessary.

I cannot give you feedback concerning wifi since I prefer to turn wifi manually on. But I realized that there is possibly a problem with phone calls. I received one, data connection was turned off (why?) and would not switch on again even though the screen was on. Switching the screen off and on again fixed it though. Since that was my only phone call after the update I cannot verify if it occurs on a regular basis or if this was an exception. I will observe it further and give you feedback. But could you nonetheless look into it?

Hi cb56, I have now purchased your app and its working well. Is there any chance you could add the option of selecting a period of time where the app is disabled? For example at night when im asleep I don't need the phone to do anything.

[Android Apps and Games] altae:
Hello, it's me again. I can now confirm that on my Note an incoming or outgoing call interrupts the data connection and it isn't automatically restored after the call. What helps is either switching the data easy service off and on again, establishing the connection manually or turning the screen off and on again. I hope my feedback helps.

[Android Apps and Games] cb56:
It 's definitely a good idea, I was already thinking. As soon as I get time I'll do what you suggest. :good:

For now, I suggest you stop the app before you go to bed and turn it back on when you wake up. :p

Thanks

cb56

Thanks

cb56

Thanks, will check.

However, in this situation, if you care about a minute with the screen turns off the connection should automatically wake, you can check?

cb56
[Android Apps and Games] altae:
As soon as I receive or do my next phone call I will check it out.
[Android Apps and Games] altae:
After two more calls (incoming and outgoing) I can confirm the described behaviour. Waiting does not help except that data connection is re-estabilished after the screen is turned off automatically (timeout set to one minute). But of course the data connection can always be re-established manually.
[Android Apps and Games] cb56:
I have identified the problem, is related to the proximity sensor that turns off and on the screen while making a call, it will resolve soon.

I found another problem: If you don't set the screen unlock with sign, password etc, the reactivation of the connection does not work when you turn on the screen, also will solve this soon.

Thanks

Data Easy release 1.7

...as promised.

This is a major release.

Solved the problem of proximity sensor that disabled the connection while in call (with the "Cycle when Screen Off/Connect on Screen On" option).

Added "Start on Boot" option.

Now you can turn off notifications (PRO).

Option to disable sounds is also available in the free version.

The "Cycle when Screen Off/Connect on Screen On" option can enable connections when the screen is activated only if you you enabled Lock Screen in the device settings (using drag, password, sign etc.)

The cyclical connection is postponed if is about to start during a call.

Sounds are disabled during a call.

Improved performance, reduced some delays listening for connections.

Added a widget of average size.

Changed the big Widget: increase the size of the buttons and removed two buttons because they had problems.

Improved graphics of the app and of the Widgets.

Little bugs fix.

First post updated.

maybe you should make a trial or something
[Android Apps and Games] cb56:
Hi,

with the free trial version you cant' change only three options:

.how many minutes activate data connection

.how many seconds keep data connection alive

.disable notifications

all other options can be changed and tested.

Thanks for the suggestion, perhaps in the future I will make a trial version without blocks, but with an expiration date.

What settings are people using and getting good results from? I just downloaded the paid app and not sure what makes sense to place the settings at.
[Android Apps and Games] cb56:
Depends on how much you want to be synchronized.

If you want to be synchronized often enough I'd say every 5, 10 or 15 minutes can be good and at the end of the day you should still have a little battery saving.

Otherwise, you could set every 20, 30 or 40 minutes and the savings increase.

With regard to the second of connection, I think values between 30 and 60 should be fine.

cb56
[Android Apps and Games] fcjr77:
Thanks. I will try that. This is great app and so easy to use.
[Android Apps and Games] powerserge1:
There should definitely be an option for "quiet hours" within the app. Basically an option to keep data OFF overnight and be able to specify the time (IE: no data/sync from 2AM to 6AM)

There's no need to sync in the middle of the night for nothing, that takes up more battery as well.

What impact does this app have on battery compared to Juice Defender?
[Android Apps and Games] cb56:
I do not go to bed always at the same time and before going to sleep normally I connect the charger so I do not worry about the connections (with most of the device is difficult to get through the day, so it's a good idea to charge every night).

The option you ask is however interesting, I had already thought of and perhaps will realize, but for now, if it seems necessary, you just have to stop the program before going to sleep. :angel:

I do not know Juice Defender, but from what I see in the pictures on the market, mine is more "Easy". :)

[Android Apps and Games] avd:
Great app.

How about an option to do cycle and turn on data and wifi when charging?

Also when unplugged I just want this app to control data, not wifi, can I do it?

Finally with free app, can I set to start on boot?

I honestly do not understand the need.

Yes, plugged or unplugged the operation is the same; you can control data and/or wifi.

Thanks for the quick reply.

What I was trying to say was it would be nice if this app would detect if the phone is plugged in and would turn on the wifi and mobile data since, for me least, I don't need to save power.

Also for the wifi, I have it unchecked in settings and it shuts off the wifi radio after the screen is off. I would like this app not to touch the wifi since I use a different app to control mutt wifi.

Thanks again.

I could think of an option to turn on wifi and/or mobile data when the device is charging.

Thanks for the suggestion.

This is by design.

When you lock the screen the program stops both the connections to save battery.

In my opinion you do not need to activate the loop connecting mobile data and keep WiFi active when the device is sleeping.

If you need to connect via WiFi and do not want to be interrupted when the screen is locked, you might as well break the cycle, with the widget is easy.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. What's the "disable notifications" thing? Will it block notifications from your ap or general phone notifications such as incoming messages, whatsapp, emai, fb etc?
[Android Apps and Games] cb56:
"Show notification" option is only for notifications of the app.

cb56
[Android Apps and Games] Mammt:
I tried the free version and I encountered some problems: if I use 3G only everything is fine, if I use wifi only (when i'm at home, where my wifi signal is strong) it never connects. I've tried with both screen off and on, with wifi lock disabled and enabled, using "cycle regardless of screen state". When I checked the behavior with screen on i saw that when the cycle comes to the ON part, the wifi toggle is activated for few seconds then immediately shut off, without connecting at all, while the cycle ON continues for the remaining 25 seconds without doing anything.

Another thing I found, if you open the app while cycle is on, the timer resets and I have to wait the whole OFF time from the start every time.
[Android Apps and Games] cb56:
With regard to the first question, I can tell you that the program checks that the device obtains a valid IP address from the router wifi, in your case there might be problems, try to activate the wifi manually and check that the navigation is working correctly.

For the second question, I am not aware that when you open the application the cycle is aborted; it is interrupted if you change some option, and this is by design.

cb56
[Android Apps and Games] Mammt:
Yep I navigate correctly if I set wi-fi manually. To explain more specifically, I have a wifi toggle widget, that changes color when wifi is enabled (doesn't have to be connected, just enabled). What I see if I let your app cycle while I check the screen, is that the wifi gets enabled (my widget turns on), but after few seconds it gets disabled (widget turns off) without any time for an actual connection, and then during the remaining seconds of the "cycle ON", the wifi stays disabled.

As for the second issue, cycle is not aborted/stopped when I open the application, it's just the timer that resets. For example if there's 2 mins left of "cycle OFF" and I open the app, the OFF time resets back to 5 mins.
[Android Apps and Games] cb56:
For the first issue, probably with your device the test of the ip address returns an invalid result even if the connection is active.

In the next release will check if I can avoid disabling the wifi connection if the ip is not valid.

Unfortunately I can not reproduce the error, which device and firmware are you using?

For the second issue, with the "Cycles Always regardless Screen State" option checked happens what you say, I will correct it in the next release.

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] cb56:
Hi,

can you tell me if release 3.0 fixed both problems?

thanks

cb56
[Android Apps and Games] Mammt:
Yup both problem are solved, thanks a lot! I particularly appreciated the fact that the 25" ON countdown starts as soon as wifi is actually connected, and not as soon as it's toggled on (otherwise i'd waste a lot of those seconds to attempt the connection). The only issue i encountered is that sometimes, the first time it connects when the cycle starts, the cycle itself stops immediately. This only happened twice in a dozen restarts, so I don't really know if it's a real problem.

Now I have to do some more tests since my phone itself is a little weird about connections to wi-fi, but it seems your app is flawless in those issues aswell. For example, if I toggle wifi manually on and then turn off the screen before it connects, it won't actually connect until I turn the screen on at least once. This was the problem about my phone that worried me the most about your cycle working always on "screen off", but I actually received my whatsapp notifications, meaning that wifi was toggled AND connected while screen was off, and that's brilliant! At this point I don't know why it doesn't connect manually and it does connect with cycle, but this has nothing to do with your app =). I guess if it hadn't worked I would've tried the wake lock option (was it meant for cases like this?), but in the end I didn't need to.

I think it's finally time to buy the full version, thanks for your real-time support!

Edit: seems like the cycle stops only when it can't connect in those 20 seconds, that's why it happeed only on "first" connections, because it takes a bit longer to connect if i didn't use my net for a while.
[Android Apps and Games] Mammt:
Ugh, the cycle stops itself more times than expected, I thought it was a connection timeout issue, but it actually happens randomly, when telephone is idle, and when I'm using it, for example navigating into the menu or settings, or using some other app, sometimes the green arrows icon of the cycle just disappears and the cycle stops. Since I noticed it happens with both connection on and connection off, I really can't tell what's causing the problem =(. I still don't know if it happens only with wifi or with 3g aswell, testing it.

[Android Apps and Games] Kocane:
I wished some of these apps had the functionality to detect when I've turned off data manually and then WOULDN'T do syncing nor turn the data on again, when screen is turned on. So I can go a day, if I want to, without using data at all. I know I can just "stop" the Data Easy 'service' but I'm looking for some way to make things a bit more automated, if it was possible.
[Android Apps and Games] cb56:
This will be easier in the future when the devices will be able to read the minds of users :rolleyes:

Joking aside .. the easiest solution is to use Data Easy widget first to terminate the connection and then to stop the service.

I could add a button to do both, but the widget would become too big.

cb56
[Android Apps and Games] Kocane:
It's not possible to code the program to detect, when screen goes off, whether data was enabled or not?
[Android Apps and Games] cb56:
Yes, I could do so but this will not provide the certainty that when the screen is off the cycle is active.

I had already thought of this.

Maybe you might think that your device alerts you if it arrives in e-mail ... but no because when the screen was off the connection was switched off ....

cb56
[Android Apps and Games] Kocane:
I can see that it may be unrealiable... regardless, it would be a nice function to have. I mean, I can do with missing some notifications once in a while. Rather that than data turning on, no matter what. I'm probably alone with this, lol.
