Introducing LeanDroid:




LeanDroid is a lightweight but incredibly powerful battery saver. It automatically manages power-hungry wireless connections and radios to significantly lengthen the battery life of your devices.

It can disable WiFi, Cellular Data (2G, 3G, LTE)*, Cellular radio*, Bluetooth, and Location* (networks and GPS) after a certain time with the screen off to conserve battery power and lower data usage. Connections are restored when the screen is turned back on or unlocked, as well as periodically, to allow for notifications to come in. LD will only re-enable connections that it disabled, not all of the selected connections. There are many additional options to set to your preference.

If you have an issue, please email teqtic@gmail.com, or use the contact menu option from the app before leaving a negative review!

Some options explained:
Disable Wi-Fi/Data except if active - Connections are only disabled if there is negligible data transfer while screen is off. Some music services don't "stream" but instead download entire songs at once, and they might do this while the screen is still on. Please set the disable time interval to at least the length of your average song so LD can catch data activity while the screen is off.

Disable Wi-Fi except if browser has web login - WiFi is not disabled if it requires a browser login (common for public hotspots or guest networks), so that you do not have to re-enter the password when it is re-enabled.

Disable except time - Connections will not be disabled between this time of day. Connections will automatically be turned on if this time is reached and the connections have already been disabled.

Re-enable periodically while screen off - Briefly re-enable the connections in the background, at the specified interval, to allow for sync, and notifications to come in.

Re-enable Data after waiting xx seconds for WiFi to connect - Wait for Wi-Fi to connect first, before enabling network data.

* Note:
-On Android Lollipop, cellular data requires ROOT through SuperSU.
-Location and cell radio functionality requires ROOT through SuperSU.
-Having data enabled while WiFi is connected does NOT use additional battery power.
-Dual SIM phones may not disable data on both SIMs as the required code varies by manufacturer.
-Bluetooth functionality is only available on ICS+. Cell radio and location functionality only available on KK+.
-If you are on Android 4.4.1 - 4.4.2, a persistent notification is required due to a bug in KitKat where services cannot restart themselves once killed by the system. If you would like to hide the notification, find LeanDroid in Settings -> Apps, and un-check "show notifications". Do not swipe LeanDroid away from Recent Apps, as this will also cause this bug.

Nice work. It works as it is supposed to. Is there any way i can check using terminal(or anything else) how long the radios are turned off or on?

You mean so that you can tell how long they were turned off for? Good question, there's gotta be some app that can pull up those statistics. For WiFi, you can check your battery usage chart.

Thanks for the feedback, rate it on Google Play if you get a chance. Bugs, suggestions and feature requests are welcome!

Suggestions:
1. When im playing few multiplayer games like Heroes of Order and Chaos etc, i usually tend to leave my phone aside for one or two min, so with my current setup where the radios are turned off after one min, the internet might get disconnected hence me loosing the game. So if there is a feature which can check if there is data transfer then dont turn off the radios. Same goes with me downloading some files and the radios might turn off causing the download to fail. - I guess it is answered in the description, my mistake
2. Where it says turn on radios to sync/receive after a specific time period, is thee way to only switch on the 2g network to save more juice?

Questions:
1. When the radios are turned on after the specific time period to sync, do all the radios get turned on?
2. Does it already check if there is data transfer and then turn off the radios ?

Edit: Rated the app on Play Store

Suggestion responses:
1. While the screen is on, the connections are never turned off. The time "after" is time after screen off (explained in help dialog or on Play Store).
2) No, there is currently no option to do that. I wouldn't recommend it either. 2G/Edge is so slow it wouldn't even be able to connect and do anything in the brief time it has to sync.

Question responses:
1. Nope, only the connections that were turned off by the app. I will update the app description to make this more clear.
2. Yes I believe right now it is set to a threshold of about 2kB/s. If within the period that it checks, the data transfer is more than this, it will not disable WiFi/data.

One request, can we have an option to not turn off the radios if connected to charger?
