Task Killer
In short: There is no need for a task killer on android. I'm not going into details, but the developer docs explain the life cycle of an application or more
technically speaking an activity. If you think you have to use one, exclude this app from it or you will definitely run into problems as the app sits in the
background and waits for certain events to happen. Even if you kill it, the android os will restart it again. Also any questions about task killers and my app will be
ignored. If you do not agree with this, please deinstall the app. For more information, some selected links: Multitasking the Android Way Why you don't need a task killer Why You Shouldn’t Be Using a Task Killer The truth about andoird task killers Revisiting android task killers

Enable Periodic WiFi
If enabled Auto Wifi will wake up periodically, switch on WiFi and after the given minutes switch it off again. This is implemented via alarms
so there is no worry about battery life.
Temporarily Activate Mobile Data
When you tap on the 'Start' button a mobile data connection will be established. It will last until you tap the 'Stop' button
(The 'Start' button will change to 'Stop' when you tap it.) or if the time span that you entered in the text field has passed.
You will see a count down timer while the mobile data connection is active. Even if you close the app, the timer will keep
running and disable the data connection after the time span you entered has passed.
This function is useful if you do not have a data plan or only a limited data plan. It allows the phone to sync e-mails,
contacts, calenders and what else there is to sync.
Remember to turn on Settings -> Accounts & Sync. -> Auto-sync
Optionsmenu - Log
Open the log. It will display every state change of Wifi and GSM/ UMTS and whether it was done by the Auto WiFi app or by the user.

you tap on an entry. You can then delete a single entry. You will be asked to confirm the deletion of the entry.
