Plug Off Airplane vs SyncOnWifi
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Plug Off Airplane
This is a very simple app that turns off Airplane Mode when the USB cable is plugged in. The idea is to make sure Airplane Mode is turned off at least once a day, in a safe location in terms of metadata: the home. Your telecom already knows your device belongs to its billing address. This makes it easier to use Airplane Mode to disable the cellular radio during the day, when it is not needed.
SyncOnWifi
Ever had an account on your android device that you want to sync only when you're at home? Ever wished you could have your work email stop synchronising when you leave the office? SyncOnWifi handles this for you. It automatically switches synchronisation of your account on or off, depending on the WiFi network you are connected to. The following permission are required: * WiFi / network status to react to WiFi network connecting / disconnecting. * Contacts / Accounts access to read which accounts there are on your device. NO contact data is accessed. * Read / Write synchronisation settings to allow automatic synchronisation switching.
