I stumbled across this application by Verobapps, and was rather impressed by the idea. The application is called Autopilot, the design is simple and what it does is very simple as well. The application will automatically switch your phone into airplane mode when in very low or no signal areas, to help prevent your phone from excessive battery drain when in those locations.
As you can see the set up is very easy. They have tested this out on the Vibrant, Ally, Fascinate, Captivate and DROID, all with great success. The app should work on all CDMA and GSM Android devices.
If you happen to live or work in some of those wonderful areas that have less then adequate signal available, this application just might be the answer to your battery woes. Feel free to pick this app below and give it a try.

(Also, I’ve never received less than 3 bars here
Ill give it a try and see what its like…i barely have signal at home…lets see..always like testing your finds stormy..:)
No link in qr code..have to scan it and too lazy to get on pc…can you fix stormy?
You wouldn’t receive texts or calls anyways because you’re in dead zones. They will be pushed through once Autopilot returns signal anyways. For people who are busy working or doing something else, it wont matter since they wont be able to check their phones anyways. Just gotta find the right scenarios for it.
Tested it out and it works quite well in my home where my signal is messy…what I think it needs is the ability to leave wifi enabled which I use at home and each time it toggled it would disable wifi even if I kept enabling it while in airplane mode….I need at least wifi when my phone signal drops cause that’s the only thing I can use at home
Emailed dev and he said he thinks that this is a good feature to add and will work on it…so definitely an app to look out for…
