Green Power Premium setup help

First post here as I'm new to Android phones.
Howdy from the North East of England.

I have a few good apps installed and like most new Android users, I am keen to extend the battery life of my phone. 24 hours with me fiddling constantly is fine but it would be great to get more.
After a bit of googling I opted for Green Power Premium.

1st impressions were great. I got 48 hours out of the charge as I also put the phone on flight mode overnight.

My reason for this post.... While the app switches off the mobile data during the day, I seem to have missed a lot of calls, being told it went straight to voicemail. Am I right in thinking I am disconnected from O2 while the phone is on standby in my pocket, meaning I dont get texts or calls?

At the moment I have disabled the data control part and it just manages wifi. This however seems to negate the battery saving benefits.... giving little more then 30 hours per charge.

Am I missing something in the app setup or have I configured it wrong?

Any input is appreciated.
 
Hmmm. I use the premium version and haven't missed neither calls nor texts. What the app is supposed to do is to turn off 3G and/or wireless for x amount of time, periodically restore the mobile data then go back out. I'm on a Droid Eris which is basically a Hero.

My setting is currently ON 2 minutes OFF 30 minutes during the day and then ON 2 minutes OFF 2 hours at night (10pm to 5am). Both are set to toggle on when the screen is turned on and if the screen is unlocked. Also the mobile is set to stay on if connected to a power source (charging)
