[Android Apps and Games] Dr.SAM88:
Hello Android lovers!

Today I decided to write for the first time in this subforum to share with you a really good free app that has saved my days in many occasions.

I've tried really hard to find another similar app on the market but with no success.

So I present to you: AUTO3G BATTERY SAVER

Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slv3r.auto3g&hl=it

DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT!

So what does this app do?

No, it doesn't simply turn off many phone functions, instead it sets some criteria for Data Transfer (2G/3G/H+) activation and deactivation and we all know how much effing battery data transfer uses throughout the day. This app is really good for some cheaper android with not much battery.

Basically the main criteria are:

1) Activate data on screen unlock, and deactivate it on screen lock.

2) Set an activation interval that periodically activates data for a given time to receive notifications (eg: WhatsApp, Facebook ect)

3) Deactivate data whenever WiFi has established a connection and reactivate it when the connection is over.

Simple right? Instead of having to turn on and off data repeatedly this app does it automatically.

The free version gives all the above options and more.

The Pro version which costs only 0.99€ (about 1$) has more features and customizable options.

THE ONLY UNFORTUNATE THING: THIS APP COMES ONLY IN ITALIAN (for now)

But hey guess who else is Italian? Me, and I'm gonna help you with the settings which are quite simple, and if you are a mothertongue European language speaker you will see that some words are quite similar to your language.

So let's get started:

MAIN PAGE:

Very simply, a effing big ON/OFF button with written under Servizio Attivo/Non Attivo (Service Active/Non Active)

FOR SETTINGS PRESS THE PHYSICAL MENU BUTTON AND SELECT IMPOSTAZIONI

1) NOTIFICHE / NOTIFICATIONS

There are 2 notifications options to tick:

Priorità Bassa / Low Priority & Disabilita le Notifiche / Deactivate Notifications

Notifications on this App are a bit annoying even if it says above that they are required for stability. I've always deactivated them with no problems.

2) RITARDA CONNESSIONE / DELAY CONNECTION

Here you can activate a delay (from 1 sec to 1 min) for activating data when screen is unlocked.

- Abilita Ritardo / Activate Delay

- Imposta Tempo del Ritardo / Set Delay Time

3) RITARDA DISCONNESSIONE / DELAY DISCONNECTION

Same this as 2) but with disconnection after screen lock.

4) SYNCRO IN BACKGROUND / SYNC IN BACKGROUND

This is the most important setting menu.

- Abilita Sync in Background / Activate Sync in Background

This activates the time interval function, the most usefull one

- Imposta Intervallo / Set Intervall

Here (on the free version) you can chose between 15 minutes to 5 hours (on Pro you can set any time you want)

- Imposta il Tempo di Sincronizzazione / Set Syncronization Time

Here You can set the time data stays on after each intervall, from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

5) CHIAMATE / CALLS

Activate or deactivate data during calls.

- Abilitato / Activated - Disabilitato / Deactivated - Non Modificare / Don't Change

6) AVANZATE / ADVANCED

Here there are some interesting options:

- Avvia con il Telefono / Start on Boot

- Disconnetti con Wi-Fi / Disconnect with Wi-Fi (only when connection is established)

- Resta Attivo con Hotspot Wi-Fi / Remain Active During Hotspot Wi-Fi

- Sospendi in Modalità Aereo / Suspend During Airplane Mode

- Mod. Compatibilità / Compatibility Mode (Try selecting this in case you have installed a market lockscreen like Go Locker to make the app work)

- Ripristina Preferenze / Reset Preferences

ALL THE OTHER SETTINGS ARE PRO AND INCLUDE:

- Modalità Notturna / Night Mode (Simply deactivate service from time X to time Y)

- Home Widget

- Usa Valori personalizzati / Use Custom Values

- Connesione in Carica / Connection on During Charging

So far this App with it's latest update has worked on all ROMs and phones I've tried. Every update increases compatibility.

Out of all the free battery savers this is probably the best one i've tried.

ENJOY!!!
