    I found tasker horribly complicated to set up stuff like that. If I remember there was a simple app that did just and only this. Turned on and off wifi depending on location..

    You could also try this one;

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.latedroid.juicedefender&hl=en

    I use it and it definitely works, saves loads on my battery.

    Thanks Yeah I have used juice defender in the past but not so much lately. The thing with all of these I find if that if you want to deviate from the norm it goes haywire. So if it is doing the battery manger and you've elected to turn the data on only periodically - trying to get it on when it thinks it should be off is a total pain. Maybe I'm just not managing it properly but I ended up switching it off...

    I have found the same mate, it just does not work consistently well. Data will not turn on sometimes when it should be on, WiFi the same....sometimes you need to reboot to fix it and this uses up probably as much battery life as one has saved.....

    I was a big user of juice defender to save battery, but it got on my nerves, specifically it was taking ages to activate my mobile network when I turned screen on. In the end I chucked it, got a new ROM (without HTC Sense) and battery life still seems really good...

    Try the Virtuous Inquisition ROM. It's completely stable, looks fantastic and has excellent battery life.

    Actually, 1 thing. Bluetooth seems a bit buggy for me, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Just something to be aware of...

    Haven't had an issue with Bluetooth. Navigation went a bit ape on an earlier version but seems fine on 4.0.

    The Virtuous ROM website recommends the AOKP ROM for the GN.

    Its what I am running at the moment and I love it. Stable, good battery and plenty of customisations.

    two thumbs up for virtuous roms here too, it's the first rom i've actually been happy with after ditching the stock rom on my DHD, and i've been through the usual leedroid, cm7, miui, cleardroid etc.

    fast and stable with all the good stuff and still keeps htc sense, which is a bonus (imho).

    How are you finding the battery life on AOKP? Are you using the stock kernel and are the power saving options turned in?

    Cheers,

    Using the Leankernel from Rootzwiki. No extra power saving options on.

    When I first got the phone I was barely getting a day with my usage. Have almost a day and a half now.

    There's nothing left of Sense on the Virtuous ROM I'm using on the Sensation. Sense is completely unnecessary on ICS (imho ;) )

    Ah yeah chilled but I keep getting notifications about something I am not really interested in (with current phone).

    Maybe a generic android modding thread could be set up?

    Coin Drop is a good game. The usual addictive phone game, but great colours in it.
