180 more to go :)

/me injecting some up-vote power into @Flow

Good morning everyone!

The @Flow reached the 10K --> 10,000 of rep!! The lights shine high! Music, handshakes, happiness all around!! A glorious moment for all Enthusiasts xD

Who's next? :D

Thanks Zuul :) I just noticed too. I think you and @Izzy will be next (or at least become 10k pretty soon). I think it took me 1 1/2 years ro so

Time to cast some delete votes :-P

Sparx and ce4 are closer :) Enthusiasts will help them out :D

But @Izzy is a rep eater, probably will beat everyone to it :D

What do you think, should we also top closing this type of questions as duplicates: android.stackexchange.com/questions/4797/… ?

As is, yes! The one referred contains a very detailed information! Additionally, the answer presented isn't that good, without the links, all goes to wast!

@Izzy lol, there I was looking at the question when the wild popup appears "New answer"... who was it? the Izzy :D

@Zuul LOL Just the five minutes I can do something, and whom do I hit... xD

:D

Btw: Do you know an app (oops) which automatically disables the radio (or switches to flight mode) when the cell signal gets low or lost?

Tried the few I could find -- but one didn't work (obviously tried to just disable radio, which seems not to be supported by my phone), and the other always switches on the display when it checks. The third is not really customizable :(

Looks like I will have to build my own Tasker profile for that...

Out of my head, can't recall one... but if I do, I'll let you know ... here on chat... xD

Would be great! I cannot really ask this "there"... though I could re-phrase it to hide the "is there an app" part. Hell, CyanogenMod could have some option for this -- it has for Wifi. Trouble is: Switching off is only half of it. It must switch back on after a while to check whether conditions have changed...

For your reference: Autopilot is the one switching the screen on to check, Battery Saver doesn't really do its job on my Milestone². NoBars is to unflexible...

You don't like Izzy Battery Saver? I'm not talking to you anymore xD

Huh? Never heard of such an app. Kidding? Saying I'm to lazy to build my own (with Tasker)?

You're probably right concerning the latter xD

lol, was a joke, regarding Easy Battery Saver an app we've talked about some weeks ago that helps saving battery by creating profiles and stuff :D (the joke as easy <--> Izzy) xD

@Izzy I'm tired! I should be sleeping... I'm not saying anything useful :D

Ah, OK -- so my first thought was correct (concerning the name -- not the sleep mode x)

@Izzy Actually, NoBars Battery Saver, appears to do exactly what you were asking... Why do you say its to inflexible?

At least by the description present on the Google Play Store!

Did they meanwhile make the intervals configurable?

At least from the comments on that ToysRUs... ahem, playstore, that was not the case.

I must admit, it's the only app I did not yet try -- had Battery Saver running until yesterday, today tried Autopilot.

The latter switched around a lot (horrible reception where I've been -- inside some real huge marts ;) -- but the permanent switching of the display I don't like...

I already wrote the dev, and will try this app for a couple more days (on a "usual day" I can better compare), as I promised in my mail to him.

Guess then I'll give NoBars a chance. If that won't do, I'll set up a Tasker profile.

ShutUpBatterySaver also looks interesting: Can switch off mobile data and/or autosync when the signal drops below a configured threshold.

@Zuul LOL And I always say "use Google"... xD droidforums.net/forum/droid-applications/…

Simple Tasker profile for that. But I already made a concept of an enhanced model (will have to try that, as I like it). Something like "Signal < 20%: Turn off mobile data & sync - exit: turn back on; Signal < 10%: Go Airplane, sleep for X min, Airplane off and bye". Keeping track of the state via a variable. Now just need to see if the "sleep" will set a Wakelock (which would be counter-productive)...

Ah! Good. WAIT sets an alarm, so this should work.

Looks like I will build my own stuff xD

lol, you're having fun with that!

I'm still at work... :(

I just have another fun: android.stackexchange.com/review-beta/close/2628

You edited that one. Check the proposed duplicate. EXACT same phrasing. Either copy/paste or same author AND copy/paste, huh? xD
