WMLongLife 0.61 – automatic 2g/3g band-switching solution for Windows Mobile

WMLongLife, created by Chainfire, is an automatic 2G/3G band-switching solution. It will keep your device in 2G when you do not need to use 3G, and will switch to 3G automatically when you do need it. For most users, having your device in 2G uses much less battery, and thus your phone lasts longer on a single charge. 2G also usually generates less radiation than 3G. This utility is still in beta, so you may encounter some issues. Refer to developer’s thread for any problems or questions.

Main features:

* 2G/3G (auto)/3G (only) automatic band switching based on:
– Running programs and their needs
– Availability of Wi-Fi
– Availability of USB
– Roaming
* Idle data connections disconnect based on running programs (note that unlike the registry tweak this does not break simultaneous voice/data)
* Manual band switching
* Automatically disable data when roaming (including AGPS)
* Pauses applications while switching bands (so you don’t get networking errors)
* Several predefined applications supported
* Support for HTC/MSM72xx GSM devices (GSM/EDGE vs UMTS/HSDPA)
* Support for HTC/MSM75xx CDMA devices (1xRTT vs EV-DO)
* Support for various Samsung GSM devices (GSM/EDGE vs UMTS/HSDPA)
