I wonder if sychronizing (when ON) drain the battery when WiFi and Mobile Data is off? Actually all networks are off so it shouldn't work. I just want if I have to switch synchronizing to OFF too or turnig WiFi off deals with it?

if wifi and mobile data is off, synchronizing on/off doesn't matter..it wont drain battery..
if mobile data is on, it will use internet, so in turn it will use battery...

My X10a (upped to 2.1 as an X10i on ATT) does not automatically try to use an available WiFi network (WiFi on) when browsing the internet. It eats up data from my plan. Has anyone else noticed this behavior?
Yeah, happens from time to time, have to turn off/on WiFi afterwards, kind of annoying yes.

Yeah sometimes it does that. As mentioned above, have to turn off/on WiFi.
why not just turn off data? i guess that would be quicker than having to turn off/on wifi
there's a widget, toggle data
While on wifi, do I need to turn off Data in order to save battery? I *think* the phone will use the wifi if its available anyway instead of cellular Data but will actually turning off Data while wifi is enabled and connected save battery?
The data is automatically turned off while wi-fi is connected unless you have some rogue app that insists to use cell data connection.

Note, this is only if "wifi sleep policy" is "never".
Otherwise, it'll go to the cell connection when the screen is off.
The only app I know of right now that can force cell data traffic while wifi is connected is the Market when it does its initial compatibility checks. (Downloads still go over wifi.)
Has anyone tried both on the Note? Which one would you prefer?
I have one question about what both of these apps do: It says it manages networks when the phone sleeps. If it turns off the network when the phone is asleep then how do you receive calls and texts?
network meaning Internet

I have used juice defender and it works pretty well. Basically what it means by network is that it turns off data and wife internet until you need it. This helps save battery power. Be careful though because the settings do different things u usually keep it on the lowest setting so i can get access whenever i press the internet browser

I'm using Juice defender, it's ok i think. save some battery when screen off.
Network is not cell phone signals. You still receive Text and phone calls normally if the network is off.
I used juice defender for a while, but I got in the habit of using the quick menu to turn the wifi off or on when I needed it, so didn't see any real results or need for it. That being said, I only use the wifi at home and work. Not alot of hotspots near where I live
I have tried both, Green Power Premium and Juice Defender Ultimate. I couldn't figure out why, but sometimes GP doesn't turn wifi back on when using the location feature. also I sometimes had to manually toggle data every once in a while to re-enable connectivity. Never had these problems with JD. JD has more options too

I have the opposite results. JD hardly ever turns wifi back on for me but GP does it with no issues.
I have used both...and had issues with both...
Juice Defender Ultimate gave me better results, but I had issues getting my wifi and cellular data connections back.

It will disable the network connection, not the radio. This will still save battery.

Bit of a noob question but I'm new to android.
How does syncing work. For example, I'm at home connected to my wifi. Screen is of and so wifi not connected, will my device six using WIFI, i.e use the wifi connection when a sleep or will it use mobile data ?

If you're connected to wifi and set wifi sleep policy to always on, it will use wifi.

And what if policy is set to keep wifi on during sleep - only when plugged in? I'm assuming now then that throughout the day I'm using my mobile data to sync whilst the phone is sleeping (screen of) even whilst I'm at home and my wifi is available
