info About this app

This app uses android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS to get synchronisation account information. This information is used to set the synchronisation control target item from the [Settings for SYNC items] in the upper right menu. It is a part of functions that reduce battery use.
The information is only used to display the settings screen and save settings. It is not send or shared externally.

On Android 5.0 +, root authority is required for use [Disable 3G/LTE in screen off].
On Android 10.0 +, root authority is required for use [Disable Wi-Fi in screen off].

1.
Automatically stop network (3G / LTE, WiFi selectable) when the screen turns off. Automatic restart by unlocking.
Since network is automatically restart periodically even when it is off, receive of e-mail etc. is also possible.
(Because network control is based on Android's security policy, it will not work on non-root Android 5.0 or later.)

2.
You can stop syncing in the battery mode. It will be back automatically by changing to the charge mode.
You can select the syncing items you want to stop in the battery mode.
For example, you can continue synchronization only GMail. (and stop the other synchronizations)

3.
EcoCtl itself consumes almost no battery.

・We have confirmed receipt of mail by Gmail, K - 9 Mail. Depending on the mailer, it may not be received successfully at the timing of network return.
・The network stop function is automatically disabled during tethering.

rate_review Editor's Take

LogicAPK editorial

Battery Saver EcoCtl sits at 4.0 stars across 614 ratings on Google Play, and is still building an audience.

A rating in this range tells us the core loop works for most players; the usual friction points are cosmetic or balance-tweak territory rather than anything fundamentally broken.

sisipa is the publisher behind this release; we'd suggest taking a quick look at their other titles on Google Play if the style clicks with you. The last visible update lands 2024-11-25, which is a small but useful signal that the team is still shipping fixes rather than treating the app as abandoned.
