Four days’ charge on an Android

“This includes turning off radios when there is no data activity and other services as needed. ”

Yeah, right… Forget about push notifications, push emails, IM, video/VoIP calls, background updates.

Why not get a feature phone then? It lasts weeks between charges.

it's not that you don't receive them you just may not receive them in real time or if it switches to edge then you will

I use my Android like that. No need to have radio active when I'm near a desktop or laptop computer all day. I still use HDSPA+ when I'm outside for lunch or wifi in the evening in bed, but I turn it on/off at those times. No need to drain the battery all day.

I set up the same system in Tasker: it is actually very surprising how well it works.

Mind giving a quick explanation as to how/what rules you use?
