Re: [Announce] AutoDisconnect - Automatically disconnect idle connections

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

Re: [Announce] AutoDisconnect - Automatically disconnect idle connections

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.

mmm, now since I upgraded to PR1.2 I now get even more bluetooth headset disconnects. The headset will disconnect then reconnect several times in a row while I'm listening to music. Good thing I also have the Headphone Daemon installed as well, otherwise everyone around me would be getting blasts of Weird Al Yankovic :). VERY disturbing ... ;) :).

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!! :eek: I guess I never tried going back to check it out. THIS IS A GREAT APP!! (despite the bugs :rolleyes:)

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.

Try higher values for minimal traffic. If you're often connected, it's because you are using a widget which needs internet (facebook, omweather, etc.) => it generates traffic.

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....

Re: [Announce] AutoDisconnect - Automatically disconnect idle connections

Brilliant got it to work - put it at 1min x 100KB data just as a test....thanks for that - i just didnt understand the "Minimum Traffic allowed' instructions, all good now!

Re: [Announce] AutoDisconnect - Automatically disconnect idle connections

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

Great Work!
