Priced at $5.99, anyone try it? I think it's a good idea surprised apple doesn't implement that natively because they turn wifi off when the phone is locked

Auto3G, worth the money?

Come on man, the time it took you to make that comment, you could have went into cydia, typed "Auto3G" and read about it.
Yea very good time, I don't see myself shedding 5.99 for it tho. See I always pay for my apps, regardless AppStore or cydia but especially cydia since I really like apps that are helpful to the general but apple won't accept them because of whatever reason. I want to try this but not paying 5.99 and will not give in to cracking apps.
Thanks

This tweak looks nice but it needs a way to add apps to a list that will not allow Auto3G to switch to edge if they are running in the background, like streaming apps, tether, etc... switching to 3G to EDGE can cause some 3-15 sec downtime maybe longer.
I wonder how phone calls work. Say if your friend asked you too look something up on the internet and Auto3G switch from EDGE to 3G because you are out of the lock screen, would it cut the call?

Not something I need. I just turn it off via SBS when traveling since I know I wont be getting it anywhere on the roads. So far even with it on, my battery life has been fine.
Thanks, Krafty. Based on what it does, $5.99 is a rip off. .99 cent sounds about right, maybe even $1.99.
OK OP, a new thread (separate) on both of tonight's new hacks.
Is this the start of a trend ?
Just a read of the description would tell the average user that neither hack fits the mainstream jailbreaking community's real needs.
Seems the responses in both threads confirm.

Not a bad idea, but worth about 99 cents. He'd prob sell a bunch to 3g and 3gs users, not as many ip4 users are concerned about battery life.
I'll "test" it out first, if I decide its worth it I will pay the $5.99. If I don't like it or not worth it to me I will uninstall it.
Dev should offer a trial I want to see proof that I'll get 100% better battery life then it might be worth $6 bucks, but yes could pretty easily do the same thing though SBSettings . just turn off 3G before being done turn on 3G after unlocking.
Its a good idea, I tried on my iPhone 4,switches back pretty quick
only issue I have is if im listening to Pandora or Wunder Radio( Streaming music) it forces to Edge when the screen dims, and that makes it buffer sincce its not playing over 3G anymore

The comment on that youtube video is actually a very good question
"let say, my phone is locked (screen off), this app turns off my 3G. then i get a call(screen on), will the call cut off when this app reactivated 3g?"
Can anyone try this out? and report back?

I dont see why it would... If i drive into a 3G zone from Edge, my calls are not disconnected... This app works really well so far, jumps back into 3G within ab 2 secs.
I actually just started using it but I imagine it will beings that Edge supposedly burns so much less juice than 3G.We shall see
