Even with this feature does not work.


Therefore, so my suggestion for a further extension for AutoDisconnect.
Perhaps it is possible to integrate an Auto Connect.
Why do I need it?
What battery life I do not want my N900 constantly online, I leave the Internet connection. However, I would like my e-mail program and OMWeather be updated. Only these two programs use only one connection to the Internet, but to not even open.
So it would be a perfect opportunity to get what you can adjust all the N900 1H, 2H, 4 or 6 hours automatically be an Internet connection. And maybe you can set connection type with which it is to log in (3G or Wifi or Wifi & 3G).
I will investigate this problem. But I don't think I can reproduce it. Don't forget that on the N900, the applications don't make the device connect to the Internet (See https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7180).

The AutoConnect feature is interesting indeed. Can you confirm that :

- if an app want to refresh data every 2 hours let's say at 1PM, 3PM, 5PM.
- If your phone is only connected from 4PM to 4.15PM

=> the app will be updated at 4.15PM ?

I think it's the case with MFE but I have no idea for the other apps. So if it's not the case, an AutoConnect feature seems to be hard to implement (you cannot choose the update time on every app).

Cheers
