WMLongLife ~ Auto 2G/3G band switch for Windows Mobile

WMLongLife is an application that installed in my HTC HD2 long time ago but not being used until now. My HTC HD2 battery runs out a little bit fast lately. Maybe due to frequent Internet surfing or battery quality degraded (after 4 months usage?) or poorer signal from my operator ~ Celcom. WMLongLife is an automatic 2G/3G band-switching solution. It will turn on 3G when application like Opera Mobile needs to access Internet. And turn back to 2G mode when no needed. Note – 2G uses much less battery and usually generates less radiation than 3G.

Auto detect and add Opera Mobile 10 in WMLongLife

  1. WMLonglife does not run correctly on the HTC HD2. It’s not in the list of supported devices and performance is unreliable for instance not enabling 3G for internet sharing and even disabling 3G while internet sharing IS in use.
