Advice for 2 simple tasker profiles I have made

Just been playing about with this great little app, and put together 3 very simple tasks in an effor to extend battery life...

Auto Sync Accounts using Synker
Set to run every hour, on the hour between 8am and 11pm

Facedown
Turn off Wifi, 3g data and screen

3g Data Off
Simple icon on homescreen to toggle 3g data

Now im trying to enhance these a little and getting a bit lost, dont even know if I can achieve what I want to do so thought id ask before wasting away hours...

Now playing about with these, I noticed that if I have already turned 3g data off, if I the lay facedown, then pick up, 3g stays off.. Can I enhance these taks by getting tasker to first check the state of 3g, and iff already off, to turn back on when picked up.. or do I have to simply create another task to set the phone when not face down?

When facedown, i dont know if the Auto Sync will still try to run, ot if it realises there is no data connection and does nothing.. im not sure if this could actually be wasting battery if it is trying to run these apps...

Is there anything else I can do to improve the Facedown task, to help improve battery longevity, but still be capable of receiving sms or call?

Cheers
 
Add a task to the facedown profile to turn off autosync.

Also add an exit task for facedown to turn on wifi, 3G data, and screen.

You can add an exit task by long-pressing on the task.

If you can't add an exit task (maybe it's considered an event and not a state?), then just add a separate profile for faceup.
