Thank you so much for your feedback! The Beta test of Dolphin Companion now closed. But, the good news is that you can get it now, yes right now, for free on the Android Market Place.

Dolphin is releasing a sneak peak at our latest Add-on —-Dolphin Companion Beta!
Help us pick best icon for the new Add-on —- Click Here!
We love our smartphones, but we all know the single most common issue is the lousy battery life. Have no fear, Dolphin Companion is here!
Dolphin Companion’s main focus is extending your smartphone’s battery life so you can browse (or chat) as much as you want without having to worry. Just click on your Dolphin Companion Add-on (on right toolbar) and the Dolphin Companion landing page will open up in a new tab within Dolphin Browser. Here you will find your phone’s remaining battery life and our customizable “One Touch Optimize” button.
About One Touch Optimize:
This is best part of Dolphin Companion because it lets your configure your data settings without ever having to leave your browser. Check in on your battery life and if it is getting dire, switch to a different (or even customized) profile to conserve your remaining juice.
3 profiles:
Extreme profile
For the most extreme circumstances, such as being stuck in an avalanche with almost frozen fingers, 6% remaining battery life and dismal network connection. This is the least battery-consumption mode which immediately turns your smartphone to receive only Call and SMS functions and no data connectivity.
Balanced profile
For the more balanced, less extreme lifestyles that have constant and regular access to charging outlets. This is the default mode with all call and SMS functions and power sucking data connectivity is switched on so you can browse whatever and whenever.
Normal profile
Don’t want to optimize your battery life? Dolphin will keep it as normal.
Because this is a new release, Dolphin Companion is only available by downloading it from the link below.
And as always, without your feedback we would not be able to make Dolphin Browser better, so please send all comments, questions (or even virtual high-fives) to support@dolphin-browser.com
Thanks!
The Dolphin Team
How do I uninstall?
You can uninstall it in Manage applications.
But can you tell us why you want to delete it?
Oh yayh, also i LOVE that it shows info in notification bar, but please have the option in settings to turn it off for those who dont want it.
Dolphin companion workes grat, but occationally crashes and forse closes(before cresh desplais false battery level info). Otherwise is great.
Hey.
Can you explain more clearly when Dolphin Companion crash?
What is your device model and firmware version?

Develop it for Dolphin Browser Mini please!
Had it on my Droid X, but found that it *seriously* interferred with the retreival of emails; I saw that background retreival was off in the recommended scenario, but it impacted manual retreival, too
Hey Rick.
How does it impact manual retrieval? Can you explain it more clearly?
I liked it but I think you guy should stick with the browser. If you guys do decide to continue with this I would appreciate it if you can add a custom feature where you can select certain features to change instead of just 3 modes.
Hey Jeremy.
What custom feature do you mean? Can you explain it more clearly?
It is very very nice …
Thank-you & mahalo
You should concentrate on the browser. Power management is not the job of a web browser. Your should refocus your priorities. This, combined with the publicity adding more and more on the welcome page makes me think you are becoming too commercial. Will we need to find another alternative browser soon ??
Thanks for your comment, Vincent.
We are stilling focusing on the Browser itself, and add-on are also part of our Browser.
Awesome..
Is this a task killer? I have a Droid2 and the lady in my knitting circle said I shouldn’t have a task killer on this phone. I’m scared. I don’t know what to do
No, this is not a Task Killer.
It is an add-on that aims at saving your power, like a battery doctor.
Man, did you guys totally forget about the iPhone or what? It seems like everything I read coming out feature-wise is for Android version only. iPhone still has no add-on support, obviously not this new feature… and enough other stuff that I’m feeling like switching back over to my other stand-by browser. What gives, Dolphin? Eeee-e-ee-e-e-e-e!
I applaud the Dolphin team for their efforts but if you have JuiceDefender installed from the Android market there’s no need for Dolphin Companion.
own extended batteries. don’t want anything messing with my power settings.
charlibob i dont think it’s for the browser itself, its like a seperate app and it shows up if u pull down your notification bar.
I downloaded it several times on my EVO 4G, but it doesn’t show up anywhere in the Dolphin Browser. ???
What do you mean that it doesn’t show in Dolphin?
Can you find it on your phone?
i would like it if it would b off from the notification bar… pretty plz and thank u just in time for the holidays..
Cool…B B-)
I like it but I uninstalled it because I dont want it in the notification bar.
How do uninstall?
Please make it on/off on demand
Thank you for this excellent add on. one request, let the battery optimizer run in background. Plz provide us a way to remove it from the notification bar.
Thanks.
I will direct your request to our relevant team member.
+1 on being able to remove the icon from the notification bar.
Thanks!
We will make it available in the next release. Stay tuned!
