Data automatically on/off

[buchannon]

I have a "Droid Charge"

Is there an app that would turn my data on for a short amount of time to check for work emails, and all the other stuff? I keep data off and manually push the button so that all my emails come flooding in. However, I would love for this to be automatic.

For example, every 10 minutes, the app would turn data on for say... 30 seconds, then turn data back off until the next 10 minutes. I'd of course have to manually enable data to check the email, but I'd love to just see the notification!

You could set that up with Tasker.

There is no app to do this, I have to manually set up a task? Isn't Tasker a "pay-for" app as well?

I believe "Juice Defender" works this way.

Maybe this one too: Green Power Free | AppBrain Android Market

Juice Defender has the functionality I was looking for, thanks! I just installed, will see how it all works!

Of course Juice Defender also uses juice to run.

Works as intended, I was looking for something a little more specific but J.D. will work for me too!

Green Power is neat, paid version is even more worth it as you can have a separate profile for night use.....you can set a data threshold (kb) on it and it will turn on and off accordingly.
