I cannot find a bug so I have voted for it, great work 
One question:
When I start a connection and AutoDisconnect is running does it count down as soon as there is no more traffic and disconnect the connection after the given options or does it start to countdown when all options are equal true?
For example if I configure AutoDisconnect to disconnect only when the device is not charging, is locked and if there was no activity for the last 3 minutes. The last active connection was made 5 minutes ago but the device is still charging/unlocked. Does it disconnect as soon as it starts to discharge and is locked or does it start to count down as soon as all conditions are met? If you really want to save every last possible bit of energy it should count down in advance and disconnect as soon as all other conditions apply.

Really nice progress in the latest version.
You shoult turn this into the ultimate Connection Manager Tool and add the feature that disables the WiFi chip a la programs like Wifi Switcher.
Then increase usability by giving the user templates to chose from, such as "Best battery life", "Always connected to everything", where the templates have different things enabled or disabled. It would also be possible to go with "Custom".
A completely new feature could be to allow bhaving the GPS component on at all times, making navigation and location-based services a lot zippier.
I see a lot of promise in this app!

Thanks.
I have uploaded AutoDisconnect 0.4.5 in Extra-Testing. So please test it, report any bug or vote to promote it in Extra. [ Link ]

So it starts to count before the conditions are met but won't disconnect as soon as all conditions apply. It will happen at the next check.

On my phone, switching from 2G to 3G requires 3 seconds, but I know sometimes/in some area it requires more time, so I choose to add this option. Switching from 3G to Dual Mode requires more time, because the device analyses the quality of the 3G Network before deciding which network mode to choose.
By the way what those settings mean e.g. 3g last switch 3"?

The 2G/Dual-changing is not really working for me. It just takes too long to switch between the 2 modes.
