Smart actions question

[nickf126]

When I am home I have smart actions set to turn off cellular data. I still get cals and texts. What does this turn off?

Will still gets calls and texts just disables data transfers and sync

It disables the cellular data network. Everything functions as normal with the exception of MMS. You still get notified you got a message, but the picture doesn't download. That's the only difference...assuming you're wifi connection provides full internet access.

Ok. Thanks. Does this save the battery a lot?

Turning off cellular data while on wifi will save your battery quite a bit.

From what I can tell it saves a TON.

That is for sure I had mine on wifi for well over a day before I needed to recharge the phone smart actions are helping out a lot

How do you set a smart action to disable WiFi when you leave home...I don't want to set it by the prescribes hours they have listed.

Can I still get emails if the data is turned off?

As long as you turn on wifi yes it might not come as fast as it does with the data on but you will still be able to do everything you normally can do without as much battery drain
