Basically, what I'd like to have is a script that runs that when I get close enough to a designated wi-fi point (namely, the one at my house) the 4g connection disconnects and Wi-fi is turned on.

Or is that a "learn to program" request I'm asking.

ANYWAY... I got Tasker a while back, but I haven't gotten around to configuring it yet. [nt] - Mr. Spork, 07-23-2012 21:49 (Views: 20)

What I decided to do was just leave 4g off except when I "really need" that much bandwidth - Sydwyndir, 06-13-2012 21:42 (Views: 33)

Not a joke on Verizion - Sycraft, 06-13-2012 22:04 (Views: 35)

how does recomending an app for android equate to that? wow. [nt] - Ordeith, 06-13-2012 20:41 (Views: 24)

It doesn't. Might you have posted anything after the recommendation? Maybe? - Phred, 06-13-2012 20:53 (Views: 38)

You think the company is unreasonable, I think the users are. - Ordeith, 06-13-2012 21:54 (Views: 28)

Would this be your reaction if it were Visual Studio? - enet, 06-14-2012 00:39 (Views: 39)

not a problem• - Ordeith, 06-14-2012 03:54 (Views: 29)

Right so basically the only difference between you and the "Googlers" in this instance is - enet, 06-14-2012 04:03 (Views: 31)

who says unnecessary? - Ordeith, 06-14-2012 05:03 (Views: 25)

Yes, if you assumed a new pseudonym... - Phred, 06-13-2012 22:25 (Views: 35)

because "facebook isn`t that big of a deal" is totally the overkill response you make it out to be [nt] - Ordeith, 06-13-2012 23:26 (Views: 22)

Your reading comprehension is absolutely outstanding. [nt] - Phred, 06-13-2012 23:41 (Views: 27)

seems to be better than most here [nt] - Ordeith, 06-14-2012 03:50 (Views: 28)

You kind of have a point. :P Still, I don't grade on a curve. [nt] - Phred, 06-14-2012 13:38 (Views: 26)

read below. [nt] - Tendenzi, 06-13-2012 20:47 (Views: 20)

Check out Tasker. I had heard of this before, but I have never tried it. - Mr. Spork, 06-13-2012 07:04 (Views: 28)

I mean, Android sucks. [nt] - Mr. Spork, 06-14-2012 02:04 (Views: 19)

My Razr Maxx does it with Smart Actions (which is a Motorola thing)... - JJJ, 06-13-2012 04:22 (Views: 27)

I thought it did this by default. - Tendenzi, 06-13-2012 03:07 (Views: 27)

I was thinking you could fire up the GPS on an interval, like every 10 or 20 minutes... - Mr. Spork, 06-13-2012 07:07 (Views: 23)

The easiest and most "battery saving" solution would be to just turn on wifi as you get home - Tendenzi, 06-13-2012 12:49 (Views: 25)

Maybe I just need to play with preferences then. [nt] - Sydwyndir, 06-13-2012 03:11 (Views: 29)

It's the easiest solution I can think of. Just keep wifi on. [nt] - Tendenzi, 06-13-2012 03:14 (Views: 28)

Microsoft`s Android exclusive on{x} program might do it. (now with url) - Ordeith, 06-13-2012 03:06 (Views: 42)

Hilarious reviews from Google Play store. - Tendenzi, 06-13-2012 03:17 (Views: 39)

Googlers are just haters in general. I don`t know how that developed in the Google culture - Ordeith, 06-13-2012 03:18 (Views: 33)

Probably from dealing with irrational Windows fanbois. [nt] - Phred, 06-13-2012 14:18 (Views: 21)

You'd be pleased if you were forced to sign into a Microsoft app with a Facebook account? [nt] - enet, 06-13-2012 03:34 (Views: 24)

I don`t have a facebook account, so if I wanted to use it I would have to wait - Ordeith, 06-13-2012 03:36 (Views: 34)

I really hate sites and apps that want or force me to sign in using an external account - enet, 06-13-2012 03:55 (Views: 33)

see? haters - Ordeith, 06-13-2012 04:07 (Views: 35)

By what meaningful definition am I a `Googler`? [nt] - enet, 06-13-2012 04:22 (Views: 32)

you started your subject with "I really hate" [nt] - Ordeith, 06-13-2012 21:55 (Views: 21)

hater, googler, synonyms [nt] - Ordeith, 06-13-2012 05:12 (Views: 30)

Bit rich coming from you. [nt] - enet, 06-13-2012 13:16 (Views: 23)

funny how I actually suggest something useful and it turns into this, huh? - Ordeith, 06-13-2012 17:06 (Views: 27)

Yes, funny. - Bean, 06-13-2012 17:21 (Views: 36)

pretty baseless in this case. [nt] - Ordeith, 06-13-2012 18:23 (Views: 27)
