Users that register with the uAccess service can connect to uAccess access points, share their personal access point with friends and family, and use the "Find My Phone" feature. We do not charge for the application or uAccess services, everything is free. Guest users can still take advantage of several uAccess features and optionally decide to become a registered user later.
uAccess beta can be installed and executed on any Android device, including tablet devices. Extensive testing has been performed on Android O/S version 2.1 and higher.
IMPORTANT: uAccess will not run on rooted phones.

Permissions needed by uAccess:
• Your Location - We use your current location to help find nearby available access points.
• Network communication - We send access point information requests to the uAccess service and we check for Internet connectivity.
• Phone calls - We display the carrier name for cell network connections, we do NOT monitor your phone calls.
• Storage - We remember access point information to perform faster subsequent connections.
TIPS:
• By default, the "Screen Off Policy" preference is enabled to help lower battery consumption. If you want uAccess to connect to APs as fast as possible (with minimal delay), disable the "Screen Off Policy" preference.
• If uAccess is in travel mode but you wish to connect to an AP right away, you can stop the service and then start the service to force an exit from travel mode.
• If you're taking a long road trip (longer than a couple of hours) and don't expect to have WiFi access while driving, stop the uAccess service or enable the Screen Off policy under preferences (enabled by default) to conserve your battery.
• You can add newly discovered OPEN access points to uAccess, to help us expand the uAccess database. After you connect to an Access Point that uAccess does not know about, press the "SHARE APs" button on the main screen to send the Access Point data to uAccess; and earn achievements.

*** If uAccess does not appear to be working properly after performing an upgrade, you may need to reboot your device.
KNOWN ISSUE:
On some devices, you may notice that after stopping and then starting the service, a force close message is displayed even though the application and service are still working properly. In this case, the force close can be ignored. We will fix it in a future release.
