Auto WiFi turn on/off

[Tazim]

It will be better if you add a option to turn auto mobile data turn on/off. Just like auto turn on/off WiFi. When WiFi automatically turns on, make mobile data automatically turn off, and same for WiFi auto off and mobile data on. It will be helpful. No need to do it manually every time

But when WiFi is on, data is not used, and I don't think turning data off does much? As in, your device still needs to maintain a connection to the cell tower etc? So leaving data on all the time and switching WiFi on/ off should be enough.

By automatic mobile data on/off will save battery as well

[Juli3n]

Yeah I assume that was what you're trying to achieve but I'm not convinced it would, as in, when your WiFi is on, mobile data won't be on, but your phone still need that cell connection for your phone calls and SMS for example. I'd be interested to see a battery usage comparison of WiFi + data on vs WiFi on + data off.

No, my phone doesn't need mobile data connection for calls and SMS

[Juli3n]

I know that, but your phone needs a mobile connection for receiving calls and SMS. If you can show what battery saving you gain by switching mobile data while on WiFi, then sure that would be a worthwhile option to have. I'm very doubtful that your phone would use any power when mobile data is enabled but not in use.
