In regards to Autodisconnect, under Auto Switch 2G/3G-Dual can someone explain the settings please i.e. 3G Switch last 2".

Thanks in advance.

isnt there an app that keeps the device on 2g, while setting it to 3g when you're going online? and putting it back to 2g when you disconnect...

To the OP - your post seems to indicate a revelation but I'm not sure what you think it might be.

I only have the option of choosing 2G, 3G or dual from my status area and although there is a mild increase in battery life with 2G it is still nowhere near what you are reporting.

The only widgets/running things that use internet with any regularity is default mail client checking gmail every 30min + the weather widget.

I can easily get through a day of uni/work without recharging with moderate use but no way could I make it more than 24 hours. Would love to know your secret.

1) could you tell us if you are using a custom kernel?
2) could you give us a screenshot from batterygraph?
Thanks!

Keep pressing Next, till you get to the screen with no next, it's there in the end screen, on the left side.
