I normally use only 2-3 smart actions.

1) ON
When:
  • Display = On
Do:
  • Cellular Data = On
  • Brightness = 0%
  • Background Sync = Off
2) OFF
When:
  • Display = Off
Do:
  • Cellular Data = Off
  • Background Syncing = Off
3) Wi-Fi
When:
  • WiFi = (my wifi connection)
Do:
  • Cellular Data = Off

Please do not Personal Message me for help or troubleshooting. They will be ignored. Post in threads or start one in Q&A sections.

I have a few:

Basically the default battery extender: Display off, not charging, not moving = turn gps, bt, and background sync off
Then two rules triggered by my work WIFI and home WIFI = disable cellular data, turn gps and bt off

I also have a timeframe setup for MOST of the workday to ensure the BT and GPS stay off no matter what.

I get excellent battery life.

After that I have one that is triggered by my car dock, and one for my desk dock to turn different settings on or off.

I really hope they continue to tweak this app as it's great but could be better.

Name:Work
Trigger:Location
Action:Ringer volume vibrate, display timeout 15s

Name:Home
Trigger:Location
Action:Ringer volume 100%, Display timeout 5m

Name: Wifi
Trigger: Wifi connection
Action: Disable cellular data

Name:Display off
Trigger: Display off
Action:Cellular data disabled

Name:Display on
Trigger: Display on
Action:cellular data enabled

I also run JuiceDefender which handles disabling cellular data when using specific apps (playing most games for example), disabling WiFi when I'm not at a prefered location, disabling Bluetooth after 1m of no device connecting (enables at screen on and when a call starts). Could just use Tasker or something for that easily as well, but I already owned a JuiceDefender Ultimate license anyways :P
