About AutoCon+ Save Battery & Data
**** I am not actively developing this further ****
AutoCon+ will turn off the connections when screen goes off and turn them back on when screen turns on - Saves battery by turning off connections when you don't need them, Saves data usages. You can still be connected to internet by activating networks periodically when screen remains off!
AutoCon+ helps user to control the connections like Data, WiFi, Bluetooth and Auto Sync with the activities of screen. This will prevent the unwanted usages of the network connections which leads to improve battery life! It can also kill or Hibernate apps when screen turns off.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Basic Principle :
It has been observed that the internet connections (WiFi and Data) are one of the primary reasons of battery drain. Also they consume battery when user don't need them. Typically users keep the mobile always connected to internet but majority of users don't require the always-on connection, but its sufficient for them to connect to internet when required.
Its painful for user to turn on the connection when needed and turn it off when done. Here comes AutoCon+.
AutoCon+ will turn off the connections when screen goes off and turn them back on when screen turns on!
Also for countries like India where mobile data plans are still expensive, AutoCon+ will prevent the excess usages of mobile data by disabling it when its not required.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Explanations of Permissions:
Device & app history (retrieve running apps)
- User for white-list application feature (to determine foreground running app in case user wants AutoCon not to close connection when a particular app is running)
Wi-Fi, Network and Bluetooth information
- Required as basic functionality of AutoCon to enable/disable WiFi, Data and Bluetooth
Root Access (Optional)
- Required for app Hibernate feature
Run at startup
-----------------------------------------------------------
Main Features :
★★ Lollipop support - With Root to manage Data turn on/off ★★
✔ Control Data, WiFi, Bluetooth and AutoSync connections
✔ Simple user-friendly screen, bye bye to complex options
✔ Turn Off the connections when screen goes off
- Specify the interval after which data/WiFi should turned off when screen goes off
✔ Turn On connections when screen turns on
- Specify the interval after which data/WiFi should turned on when screen is unlocked
✔ Hibernate or Kill battery consuming apps and prevent them from running in background (requires root)
✔ Periodically activate connections in background (say every 1 hour, configurable) when screen is off so that user will not be totally disconnected
✔ Disable WiFi when its not connected to any network
✔ Disable mobile data when WiFi is connected
✔ Time Range : Connections will stay off in given time range (say at night 11 pm to 6 am, I don't want AutoCon+ to enable connections when I unlock the screen)
✔ App White list : When a particular app is running, do not disconnect when screen is off (for example I am speaking on Viber, so I want data to remain connected always even though screen is off)
✔ Everything is configurable - every interval, every setting.

It worked great for a long time, then about 2 -3 weeks ago it stopped. The drop down info said it was managing WiFi but it wasn't anymore. Paid for plus upgrade but didn't fix it. Major bummer. Will likely uninstall. And no there's not another download conflict, I checked.

Great app, but one thing can be better, the time after data is turn on can be 5 seconds, 0 seconds is bad becouse I cant even turning display on to check the time without turnig on data too, 10sec is to long, I have spare time after log to device. 5 second would be grate! Please give us that option :)

Attention developers... When people (like me) buy the paid version of the app, it would be good if you appeared to try to fix the problems that arise. This app - when it works - is GREAT. However, I have to manually turn sync and data/WiFi on manually several times a day, because the app didn't. If I have to do that myself, why would I PAY to have a twitchy app do that for me? Fix the problems, and I'll update this to a 4 or 5 star.

Saves a lot of battery, however every once-in-a-while, when screen is turned back on, data/WiFi isn't turned back on

While it does switch off the WiFi on my moto photon q , 80% of the time it does not switch it back on. It also switched off mobile data, which took me a while to figure out and find. This obviously causes problems. As for my nexus 7 (2012) it never switches it off (WiFi). Battery history prominently shows that.

Unfortunate that Lollipop must be rooted to control data. Had to stop using this. Highly recommended for those not on Lollipop update.

Works fine on my galaxy note 3, but is not staying in memory on my lenovo A70 tablet, this is because it runs android 4.4.2 which has a known bug, so this is no fault of the developer, so hence cannot be fixed.the bug was squashed in 4.4.3

Used the free version first and after some time I really felt that it's time to jump to the pro version and so far it's working well, looking forward to further development of this app, if something comes to mind I'll suggest new features ☺

I rarely write reviews, but this app is incredible. Since using it, I've seen jumps on many phones in terms of battery life. This coupled with Greenify has gotten my friend's S3 to stay on standby for 3 full days now! Granted this app doesn't help you save battery except when the screen is off, but it does an amazing job of doing so. Just for the record, the phone was put on a standby test 3 days 5 hours and 23 minutes ago, starting somewhere in the neighborhood of 70%. It is still going strong at 10%.

Nice app but need list of apps not just names(whitelist). And I don't want to see app icon om notification bar but there's no chance. Because if I uncheck that app closes.

But, is far less complex is easier to set up, smaller than JD, much faster, and has a smaller ram footprint. Easily worth 2 or $3 for what this app does. Can save data usage as well. Pair this with Greenify and you're set. I've been looking for a replacement for Juice Defender, and this is it. Using on Galaxy Note 3.

This app efed with my WiFi my phone no longer remembers passwords for my WiFi. I'll play with it as it worked great and i did like it until I reset my phone. Then it wouldn't remember pws. I had to remove app clear cache and dalvic and phones functioning normal again. Great review on xda, next week will hit you up on forums and try app again

There are many applications out there that achieve the same end of saving battery. However, I find that the features in this pro version (an affordable $ 0.99) are wonderful at saving battery such as the periodic feature. Glad that xda pointed me towards this app.

Juice Defender is a bit more complex, and thinks the stock rom (Galaxy Note 3) is incompatible with it. I saw this and had to give it a try. I'll update my review after a couple days of use, see how it compares. Essentially accomplishes what Juice Defender does, with less options, and is less finicky to set up.

This is like the extreme power saving and ultra power saving mode of HTC and Samsung respectively. I'm going to install this on my wife's LG G3 after a longer testing period. And no, this is not one of the many battery savers, this is exactly what I wanted, it should be off when the screen is off with the option to periodically check, simple.
