I think this could be a huge battery saver...
 

ok so im not sure if anyone has seen or tried this, but if you go to menu>settings>wireless & networks>mobile networks>enable always on mobile data, there is an option to uncheck the box. i turned all of my automatic updates to manual in email, facebook, etc..and then unchecked this box. It seems now that the 3G connection will actually go dormant now, meaning grey 3G symbol and grey arrows. Connection still works when called upon, like when your browser is opened, but it seems like my battery has fared me much better since trying this. ANyone else want to try this and post their results? Again my bad if this has been posted already

Hey since i have a better connection using wifi at home, what does the sleep setting for wifi do? I have it set for 15 min. Will it stop wifi after 15 min or 15 min of non use
