I do. I believe it saves battery, and it's really quick. In Touchwiz, the WiFi/GPS/4G controls are built into the notification pulldown. I believe the same is true of cyanogenmod.
Having it automated might be better, but it's never bothered me enough to look into that.
- ryandvm 14y agoIt only saves battery if your wifi is continuously scanning and not actually getting on a network. Otherwise, wifi is preferable to using a mobile network for data traffic as far as battery life is concerned.
- tsotha 14y agoWiFi is a big battery hog on my phone. I can go three days on one charge without it, but if I connect up to my home network with WiFi I get less than two.
- brlewis 14y agoAre you running an app that's configured to perform a particularly data-intensive activity only on wifi? That's the only way I can reconcile your experience with ryandvm's comment (sibling to yours).
- tsotha 14y agoNope. That's with virtually no data usage at all. Just turning it on and connecting to my home network.
- andrewaylett 14y agoI run CyanogenMod, and have the pull-down. I agree that it saves battery. I probably wouldn't bother turning WiFi on and off manually though -- and my wife definitely wouldn't (and didn't, before I set up JD on her phone). That's why I like Juice Defender...
