Opportunistic Power Saving
Maintain phone in GSM mode by default when on battery
Design goals
- Switch to GSM mode opportunistically when all seems to be quiet
- trigger on phone locked
- check for blockers
- don't change anything if we're on a call
- don't change anything if we're in the target radio mode
- don't change anything if the user may still want 3G
- don't change if we have blocker applications, connections or traffic
- but blocker applications or traffic not applicable if we're on WiFi
- cooling off period during which a device unlock cancels radio switch
- perform final sanity checks
- recheck that we're still not on a call after our cooling off period
- then make the switch to GSM mode
- Switch to dual mode or explicit 3G when something requires it
- trigger on events
- launch browser
- open e-mail account
- launch other application
- but test the following
- don't change anything if we're on a voice call
- don't change anything if we're already using WiFi
- don't change anything if we're already in the target radio mode
- trigger on events
