Couple of Desire General Questions

---

Hey guys, I love my new desire and seem to have general annoyances questions that I have researched but cant seem to get a proper answer. Hope anyone can help me out.

1.What is Always on Mobile Data?, does it update my weather and my news feed automatically? And has it been proven that it drains less battery if I keep it disabled?

2.Is it necessary to have a task manager? I am using advance task killer(free) and oddly, I sometimes lose mb's when killing apps.

3. How do I enable wifi to go on and off only @ a specific location( such as my home)? I heard that it is possible to do this.

Thanks for the people taking the time to read my post.

1. It's what it says on the tin. Always on mobile data. You don't want to disable it, as you won't receive any facebook/twitter/mail/any net app updates whatsoever. But yeah, it would increase battery life - but not by more than if you just kept it always on, but disabled auto-sync for most everything.

2. No. http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-b...-with-android/

3. SweetDreams or a bunch of other apps have some toggle settings. Or just get WiFi indicator, which reminds you that you have WiFi on but aren't in range of any networks.
