Wi-Fi Keep Alive (v. 1.4.7) Разработано Shantanu Goel |
No more breaking downloads or switching to slow & expensive GPRS/3G.Keep WiFi on even if phone sleeps.
1. WiFi off if screen off (White widget)
2. WiFi on if screen off (Green Widget)
3. WiFi on if screen off & charging (Amber Widget)
Delete existing widgets and re-add them to show new icons
The app does _not_:
- Turn on your wi-fi automatically. It just keeps it enabled if you have turned it on yourself through any other automatic or manual means.
- do special things to manage turning off wi-fi. There haven't been any reports of wi-fi not turning off when specified so that is left to Android built-in policies
Explanation for permissions requested:
Modify Global Settings: To modify wi-fi policy settings
View WiFi State: To check current wifi state
Change WiFi State: For a work around that needs to reset your wifi connection on some devices
Prevent phone from sleeping: Some devices need a partial or full wake lock in order to keep the wifi running
Full Internet Access: This is again for a workaround that requires pinging your gateway or another address. Without requesting this permission, the pinging fails. The app DOES NOT use the internet for accessing anything else and DOES NOT send or receive any data to/from the internet.
Receive Boot event: Used to keep the application working across phone reboots if needed.

[2013-09-22] A Google User: Funny... ...how some of the bad reviews are identical words to others. Sounds like a competitive similar app owner writing fraudulent reviews. Works for me on any device, and I cant believe people still have android Cupcake...smh. 5 stars from me great job. |
|
[2013-09-14] A Google User: Works great I found this app by accident while I was looking for some thing else. Turned out to be one of the most useful apps I've installed for a long time. Saves vital second when unlocking your phone and then having to wait for the wifi to connect. |

[2013-08-25] A Google User: Awesome! Method 2 fixed wifi drop problem on my Galaxy Nexus, I have been searching for a app or solution for a long time, and finally got this! Now I can have wifi on when sleep, yay!!! However since method 2 is making a wake lock to prevent phone from totally deep sleep, battery consumption is increased (>10% ), but I dont care about battery, I just want my wifi work! 5 star for this work! |

[2013-06-20] A Google User: Great app!! (6/20 - Not so great afterall) This app was great in the beginning, but has stopped keeping my wifi alive. Have to manually restart wifi service repeatedly just like before installing this app. Very disappointed!! Was having to repeatedly turn wifi off and on to restore connection on my Nextbook tablet after waking from sleep mode; now this app keeps the wifi always connected. Thank you for this app; one less frustration to deal with is a very good thing!! |

[2012-08-15] A Google User: Sony tablet S Update: stop working after a while. Installed this and my wifi doesn't get disconnected as much.I tried 2, 3 and 4. Workaround 2 seems to be the better choice. |
|
[2012-08-15] A Google User: LG Optimus 3D This was exactly what I was looking for! Love it! Thanks (: |
|
[2012-08-15] A Google User: Works well This app works well for its purpose, and it is nice having an explanation for the workarounds. It would be nice if the workaround processes would automatically stop when wifi is turned off. For instance, the partial wakelock in workaround 2 is still on even when wifi is turned off. |

[2012-07-21] A Google User: Great Does exactly what it claims.. before bedtime (to leave the IM apps logged on always and sleep mode doesnt disconnect them) choose "always alive/on" then workaround "3" and "4".. that is the winning combo haha |
