So, if I understand this all correctly... Those of us who have paid for an app to toggle settings for us, specifically - Power Manager (which, by the way, is currently the 2nd most popular Paid Application), have thrown away our money since we will be prompted to allow changes for some of the settings every time the application wants to change them? Man, I am glad this app was only $0.99, otherwise I'd be really ticked off. Not to mention that I will not be able to conserve battery life as well as I do now, meaning that this effort to help users conserve battery life actually hurts me (and 10,000 - 50,000 other users who have purchased Power Manager).
