PowerGuard - Free Android Power Management Application

Hello everyone. It has been so long since I made a post. I would like to thank all the subscribers, viewers and developers out there that provided feedback, encouragement and contribution to the ASP.NET CoolGrodView open-source project.

I have made a shift to Android development and therefore I am not doing any active development or update on IdeaSparx CoolGridView at this point in time. Having said that, I would like to announce one of my free Android application called PowerGuard.
PowerGuard defends the battery power of an Android device from power hungry WiFi and 2G/3G data connections. It regulates these WiFi and/or 2G/3G connections based on the need and configuration of a user. It extends battery life to lasts almost twice the amount of time than without it - given the same usage behavior. PowerGuard will always try to connect through WiFi and 2G/3G first. If it is unable to make a connection through WiFi, after some delay it will disable WiFi to conserve more battery power.
