If this kind of app already exists please let me know! My issue is when I'm in an area that gets poor coverage my battery drains extremely fast. For example when my dad is in the hospital and I visit him my battery drains completely in a couple of hours!
I'm guessing the reason for this is the phone is bumping up the power to the radio trying to grab a hold of the weak signal.
I understand one "fix" is to turn on Airplane mode but I have two problems with this. 1> It's a pain to remember to do and 2> I can't receive any phone calls or texts while in airplane mode.
I think a great alternative would be to have an app that shuts off the radio automatically once the signal strength gets below a certain level. It can enable the radio momentarily every couple minutes to check for voicemails and text messages and then shut itself off again.
I understand that I may not be able to receive a phone call while the radio is off but it would be nice to know that people would at least be able to get a hold of me somehow without risking my battery being dead in a short period of time!
If this app doesn't exist someone should make it! I bet it would do really well!
