Auto3G extends your battery life by automatically turning off the 3G radio (leaving on the 2G radio) when you lock your iPhone and automatically turning on the 3G radio when you unlock your iPhone. This way you always have the speed of 3G when you need it without the battery loss.

This application is vailable in Cydia under the name of Auto3G on BigBoss repository, this app basically turns off the 3G radio and switches to 2G (EDGE) when you lock your phone, and turns it back on as soon as you slide-to-unlock your phone again.

As explained by Apple, this results in up to 100% greater battery life: “7 hours of talk time on 3G, 14 hours of talk time on 2G.” (apple.com/batteries/iphone.html)

Auto3G can be purchased from the Cydia Store for $5.99 but HERE at iPhone Techie you will have a chance to try it out for FREE before you buy it.

    Really good app.

    I haven’t tested it to see if it turns the radio off while on a phone call.

    It switches the radio even when I text is sending, so you should set a 10-20 second delay.

    Overall I only had to respring once from the phone getting No Service after unlocking. But that’s it.

    I’m totally buying this!

    It didn’t work at first. It kept throwing up an error in winscp, but I changed the dpkg -i Auto3G_1.0.0.deb command in terminal to dpkg -i auto3g_1.0.0.deb and it worked fine. Thanks!!!!

    @L-Con
    You are correct… The file name starts with a lower “a” so I changed the tutorial from “Auto3G” to “auto3G” for more clarification.

    Thank you for letting me know about this… It’s always a good practice to use the “dpkg -i” command with the EXACT filed name / .deb.

    Good luck.

    The tutorial instructions are still wrong. It should be dpkg -i auto3g_1.0.0.deb not dpkg -i auto3G_1.0.0.deb

    did anyone try it? wanna know if a call in and then answering the call under 2G edge, will it switch to 3G network? ….. if so, will the call be dropped? network switching will end the call, right?

    @Ryan
    I added it to the REPO it will show up in couple of hours or so. Thanks for giving me the heads up.

    Just install SBSetting and make switch between “3G” or “2G” manually. But, you’ve to make sure you will not get GPRS while using 2G signal, as GPRS also count data usage. For security, you can also shut down “Data” under SBsetting to avoid data charge.

    So 1.2 fixed all the issues for me- it was clear the developers spent some good time listening to our feedback and the new version works perfectly!
