you could also try the wifi-switcher

after you connect to wifi, just use the switcher to disable wifi then you'll be fine :)

How exactly do you use the switcher? When I open it, it says: Select Application from the list to open the file. Which application is it? :-S

You need to install it first, via terminal.

sudo gainroot
dpkg -i filename.deb

Is it just me or should this switcher go in the power button menu with the cell phone switcher? Having the 2 in 2 menus doesn't make any sense...

After reboot, I never enabled WiFi. after 48 hours, I still have over 25% battery level. If I enable WiFi, it's dead in 15 - 18 hours.

Settings: Search never.

I am going to try the switcher.

closing the connection in this program, already do not have to restart the phone in order to extend the life of the battery .. Trying to connect bypassing the program,...
