I don't really get what you do mean with quick and long mode. :P
The time period the connection is used ?

It's been a long time since I last used AutoDisconnect and I'm really impressed of the new config. Great job!

Could you please explain once more, how the values for time and data volume work together? In the last version I was using, this meant the volume X of data/min in a timespan of Y minutes. Is that still right? The config screen looks somehow like it would check every Y minutes, but I don't know what for. Some clearance would be very nice.

My first try sadly didn't succeed: I installed, then set the values to 5 Min and 200 B/min and rebooted (just to be sure ). I opened a connection, the message appeared and then I put the phone aside. Half an hour later I checked the status it still was online (3G). I manually switched it offline and the connection went to 2G, just like configured in the settings. I can't believe that some app is regulary pushing more than 200 Bytes a minute over the connection. But I'm not sure.

I guess it's the time the device needs to switch between the modi.

HOLY C***P!! I decided to uninstall autodisconnect to test out my bluetooth problem & in only a few hours my Edge data connection drained my battery dry!! HOLY C***P do I need autodisconnect!! I guess I never tried going back to check it out. THIS IS A GREAT APP!! (despite the bugs )

Yes, it is still right. If you set let's say an interval of 5 minutes with a traffic of 3 KB/min, AutoDisconnect will close the connection if less than 5*3 = 15KB has been received through the interface.

Easy to know : check the file /var/log/autodisconnect.log.

200B/min is I think too low. Try 2KB/min.

Yes, it was just a label to illustrate the difference between the 2 modes.

Could you post your /var/log/autodisconnect.log file ? Thanks.

You can see the log file /var/log/autodisconnect.log too

Hi mate. thanks for your response.

Can you suggest a value in the wifi setting where the wifi will disconnect if im not using it to download after like 5 minutes? (traffic wise) im really not sure on all this. the thing is ive ever seen it switch off once..it just stays on and connected....

Whoa I think this is an app that packs one of the most requested features for Maemo5.

Great Work!
