Abstract
Implementations relate to a computer-implemented method, device, and computer readable storage medium for optimizing battery life in a mobile computing device. The method includes determining that a wireless signal associated with a wireless network connection utilized by the mobile computing device is at or below a reception strength threshold; disabling the wireless network connection in response to the wireless signal being at or below the reception strength threshold; acquiring, from one or more motion sensors of the mobile computing device, an amount of motion of the mobile computing device during a predetermined time period; determining whether the amount of motion of the mobile device exceeds a predetermined motion threshold; and enabling the wireless network connection in response to the amount of motion exceeding the predetermined motion threshold.
