Could you add an option for not disconnecting when using Pidgin Internet Messenger ?

I'm trying 200b/min now, cause it's disconnecting while using pidgin if I set it to anything higher.

Calvin_42 is there any way you can create a script or something that triggers internet connection when a program for example omweather trys to update itself?

Weird but when using autodisconnect it sets my connection to GSM when not in use and the N900 then takes a very long time to find a signal (2-3.5g)... Sometimes I have to manually switch to 3G just to get a network signal and when I do it comes in very strong (3-5 bars).
When I switch it to 3G it gets a signal almost instantly - has anyone else seen this behaviour with their n900 or is it just me?

The changelog of the next version (0.4.7) will be :
- Add more high values to the switch of the Dual Mode
- Add the Pidgin Internet Messenger Exception
Until then, you can test and vote to promote the 0.4.6 version to Extra for those who don't use the devel repository. The 0.4.6 is a big update and only 3 votes are still required.
Thanks for them

Looking forward to the Pidgin support 
Does anyone know where I can see which program is causing how much wifi traffic ?

Another issue I have noticed is if I am in dual mode, it kicks me back to 2g pretty much immediately (even if I am actively using GPRS). But then if I manually switch it to 3g - voila! Full bars and much faster connection.
I do not have the auto 2g/3g switch on so I am not sure why this is happening.

Ye this is an odd one I noticed when I first got my n900, In another thread someone was having problems whereby there phone in 2g/3g would get a really bad 3g signal... It seems though that if you force ti to 3g only the phone gets brilliant 3g signal?! I think this is n900 issue not autodisconnect...
@Calvin for some reason when I manually check my emails or use internet radio my autodisconnect doesn't seem to connect, in emails it shows it trying to sync but cant, same for radio...

I don't know if this app does anything for me because I do not set to switch to 2G automatically (did not really understand 3G - Switch last 2", etc terminology). I just manually use the status bar 3G, 2G switch. And I am always connected to IM and have the setting on not to disconnect from internet when IM is on.
So not sure if autodisconnect actually disconnects anything on my device. What I do know is that before I installed this I would switch device on by 6am and would need to recharge the battery by around 12 noon and then again around 6pm. This is with facebook chat, skype, msn, yahoo and gtalk all being on. Now after installing autodisconnect my battery goes through the whole day without needing charge.
Either some hell of a coincidence or autodisconnect is doing something really incredibe.

Until then, you can create your own widget with "Desktop Command Execution Widget" and this post.

AutoDisconnect automatically closes your idle connections (Wifi/3G/Bluetooth) and switches the network mode to 2G when 3G is not used. [ Thread ] [ Wiki ] [ Donate ]
