What does YOUR homescreen look like?

[jtc303]

I don't really notice it though! LOL Actually, I don't know what all of it is; it's so little now! I am going to put my reading glasses on and try and tidy it up a bit. And thanks! I like it pretty well. Got a really neat black and red case that looks good with it too.

If I can make a suggestion... use Smart Actions to turn off data while on wifi

Trigger
Wifi connection > any network (or whatever network you prefer)

Action
Cellular Data > disable

you can hide the Smart Actions notification icon in the settings

also not sure if you were actually using bluetooth while you took that screenshot or if you always have it on but if its the latter, I would suggest turning it off until you want to use it.

(sorry if you already know all this)

I have 3 grandchildren running around here all the time and not enough hands! :crazy:So, I do use my bluetooth all day. But, if it could help with battery life, it might be worth turning it off every now and then?

No apology needed! I need all the help I can get! :biggrin:

I have the unlimited data plan. Would it use more battery for my phone to be constantly searching for WiFi?

--Im not saying for you to use wifi all the time (even though it actually uses less battery than data, when wifi is available)... just when you DO have wifi on, there's no point in also having data - THAT uses more battery.

So, I do use my bluetooth all day. But, if it could help with battery life, it might be worth turning it off every now and then?

--Oh yes, when not in use.. turn it off... this goes for anything like that... GPS... even when your screen is off, set SA up to turn off data... save yourself a TON of battery

I suggest downloading widgetsoid2.x, its the best Ive found for manually turning off things like bluetooth/GPS, switching off wifi/data, changing screen brightness etc... especially the status bar notification widget
