Default Auto wifi toggle

That is a app i downloaded from the market. It basically turns off wifi when it disconects from wifi( saving u battery) and it only turns on wifi periodically or at a set time to automatically reconnect with wifi. Used it today and it worked like a charm. The big plus was it saved me a ****load of battery power. Only complaint is that the settings were kind of confusing but the developers website cleared up the confussion.

U guys should check it out especially if u always forget to turn off ur wifi when ur not using it.

(Also it turns off wifi when the screen is black and the phone is locked)

There is a far superior app for such a thing. Tasker. You can do so many things using different triggers. Besides WiFi on when plugged in, you can have it launch desk clock when plugged in and its left side. I've got one setting that will enable GPS, wait 1 one second, launch GPS Tracker, then display the home screen anytime it gets an sms from a particular source with a specific message in the text. Another useful setting is to kill the phone app at the end of the call. Instead of leaving you on the phone screen it takes you to the home screen. That way you are less likely to redial your last number. Another good one is to turn on GPS anytime you launch navigator or maps.

You want the phone to automatically call the local library if you place the phone face down between 4:36am and 10:03pm while plugged in USB on odd numbered Thursdays in months without an R? Tasker can do that.
