In this mode, it seems my N9 never has a chance to detect the Wi-Fi network, so the phone stays on 2G/3G. I think this is the cause because when I delete the action to enable power savings, then the phone switches to Wi-Fi automatically as expected.

Is there a way to reliably connect to Wi-Fi when I set an action to enable power savings?
When device in power saving mode, it doesn't scan for near-by WiFi access points (or if it does, much seldom than in normal mode) - so naturally it won't connect automatically to them either.

It is probably possible for you to create a script that forces WiFi scanning, but I don't know the details.

Hi ajalkane, not sure if this is already requested but is there a way to enable/disable following of rules e.g. via terminal? I was wondering if MAG or coderus could create status menu toggle for turning rules on/off quickly when needed. See e.g. http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=85816

That can be done using D-Bus.

Following rules off:

Code:
dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=org.ajalkane.profilematic /org/ajalkane/profilematic org.ajalkane.profilematic.setActive boolean:false
Following rules on:

Code:
dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=org.ajalkane.profilematic /org/ajalkane/profilematic org.ajalkane.profilematic.setActive boolean:true

Probably like this (I'm unable to test it now):
Code:
dbus-send --session --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.ajalkane.profilematic /org/ajalkane/profilematic org.ajalkane.profilematic.isActive
There is also a DBus signal "activeChanged(boolean)" sent when its changed.

Thanks, ajalkane. It would be so wonderful if you could find a way to add an Action to connect to a wireless network . That way, I can add a rule to connect to the office Wi-Fi, then a second rule to turn on power savings if connection type = Wi-Fi.

Power saving mode will disable background connections so whats the point of the wifi part?

Better off enabling GSM only when connected to wifi That will save heaps of power

I do not need the background connections -- what I would like is to use Wi-Fi when I need to (i.e., when I surf the web). I noticed that as long as you connect to Wi-Fi first, then turn on power savings, then even when power savings turns off the Wi-Fi (when unused for a period of time), then whenever you need to access the internet the Wi-Fi would be used. Right now, because of power savings, I find that sometimes the Wi-Fi connection is never established, so after I enable power savings and I need to use the internet, 2G is used instead of Wi-Fi, which is too slow. Hope that makes sense LOL.

At first, thanks for this great app!

Since the last update I have switched to condition "Internet connection = WLAN". but somehow it doesn't seem to be very reliable. Often the associated settings (like switching on my sip account) don't trigger when the wlan is connected. Any Idea what the problem could be? Anyone else seeing this?
Is there a way to produce meaningfull logs or error messages that might help to debug this?

And second: It seems CODeRUS has found a way to switch the background connections setting that actually works in his Status Menu Extensions. Maybe he can tell how he did it so we can get this option back and working in Profilematic?

Thanks again!
