Battery saver 3g data manager

[toalettkukac]

Hi,

Thank you for this wonderful flow. You have put much work into it.
I would like to request/suggest a feature.

As (According to you) 3G is the battery drainer. Why not simple disable 3G when connected to Wifi.

I have Wifi at home and 3G on the road (like most people). Your flow saves battery when on the road, but I see (in the android) toggle that when I am with Wifi then 3G (Mobile Network Data) is still enabled.
Only the other Flows are disabled.

Could you add and extra syntax to competently disable 3G/Moble Network Data altogether when the device is connected to Wifi, please?

I could make a separate flow to do this obviously, very simple, but I would prefer it integrated into your, so they don't conflict or whatnot.
You could make it optional, so anyone that doesn't want it can disable it.

Thank you very much

Cheers
Alex

Are you sure about 3G draining the battery? I can see that within the same amount of time, 2G uses less power, but after that time, less data will have been transferred. Looking at power use from viewpoint of identical amounts of data transferred (which should be the more realistic scenario: same amount, but in less time), the balance may shift in the favour of 3G.
If it's the choice between either 2G/3G vs Wifi, then of course 2G/3G data connection shouldn't be necessary at all as long WiFi is up. But more often than not, there'll be a power socket nearby in this case.

When phone is under a wifi connection, android automatically disable 3g data connection (even if you see the toggle ON), so this modification is unnecessary.

My flow doesn't put the phone in 2g, it totally disable data connection for determined time. In this way internal radio modem drain less battery especially in areas where phone signal is low/unstable.

Yes. Smart decision, I think. Without having actually done any current measuring, I think that if there should be any gain at all, the necessary 2G/3G renegotian takes that away too.

I had no idea. Thank you for the prompt reply.

Unfortunately Android 5 requires a new permission to toggle mobile data that's only granted to system apps, for this reason action Set Mobile Datanetwork State only works with root on Lollipop.
The next version of Automagic will improve the error text when the action fails.

Hi.

As of 3 days ago, I keep getting the following error.
The weired thing I have not changed anything since them, not was automagic updated. ALso my phone is Kit-kat (not lollipop).

Could you please help. Your flow really helps my phone with battery life. It saves a lot of juice for me. Especially over night. Please keep up the good work and the flow updated as much as possible.

I uninstalled and reinstalled your flow. I rebooted, but still the same. I am rooted permission is granted to automagic.
If I clear the error, then after phone goes to sleep. When I wake it after a few mins, then the error is there again.
I have been using your flow for months now, with absolutist no problem. Just till 3 days ago it started.

So the error... In Notification:
Flow Wifi/Power State ended
Error: Can not execute disable flow Auto Connection Manager
