Y5 - Battery Saver (v. 1.6.0) Разработано Polidea Lab |
1.6.0 Disabling app bug fixed
Light and fast app which turns Wifi off when no known network is around and turns it on in locations where you were already connected before.
The app remembers the locations automatically. All you have to do is to turn the Wifi radio on at each new Wifi spot.

[2013-07-04] A Google User: Doesn't work Worked fine on my galaxy s3, after switch to galaxy s4 this app no longer remembers wifi networks. |
|
[2013-06-25] A Google User: Works very well on Galaxy s2 I have a custom Rom (ICS) and it works well. The only annoyance is that when I put the phone in airplane mode the app restores the wifi!!! Fix that and it's perfect!!! |
|
[2013-06-18] A Google User: good |
|
[2013-06-17] A Google User: Does not work with my new Galaxy S4 This app used to work with my old HTC evo. But now that I have a Galaxy S4 it does not. The app is supposed to turn wifi on and off when a known network is present. It does not do this now. I have to manually turn wifi on and off. Plus it is not remembering my connections. At this point it is useless. Why hasn't the developer updated the app since 2010? There's been tons of new phones since then. I know it's free, but how about a little help Polidea Lab? Does anyone know of a alternative app that works? |

[2013-06-10] A Google User: Used to be good Does not work on my Galaxy S4. Used to be great on my Htc Sensation. |

[2013-05-08] A Google User: Drains battery rather than saves it! Removed from phone now phone lasts 36 hours instead of 8 ! |
|
[2013-05-03] A Google User: Sorely lacking 4.x compatible update |
|
[2013-04-06] A Google User: It does not work anymore...please fix for latest android software. |
|
[2013-04-01] A Google User: Normally a 5-star, but now not working! PLEASE FIX Normally an easy 5-star rating, and I highly recommend this app but it has not been working at all since my tablet upgrading to JB 4.2.1. Works great still, on my phone running JB 4.1.2 where I can still see the list of known networks, but on my tablet, no list appears, and it constantly drops wifi. PLEASE FIX! |
|
[2013-03-29] A Google User: Nexus 4 Buggy on Nexus 4. Doesn't always turn on WiFi. Doesn't remember more than one SSID. |
|
[2013-03-29] A Google User: Unreal This app is so useful. Very simple. Only time you will ever need to open this app is the first time you use it. Afterwards it will work by itself in the background. Honestly, 1 of the best app I've ever downloaded. |
|
[2013-03-16] A Google User: awesome app but you need a better app name, took me 10 min of intense app searching to find it |
|
[2013-03-10] A Google User: Good app, but now inconsistent Great app, but after the 4.2.2 update, app will forget known networks about once a week so it won't automatically turn wifi on. Worked great up till now. |
|
[2013-02-25] A Google User: Not working on 4.2.2 It will not remember any networks from place to place I need to manually add them every time. If I look in the y5 app I only see the current one I'm connected to. Worked on the same device under 4.1. Please fix |
|
[2013-02-21] A Google User: Stop suggesting open network There should be an option to stop suggesting for open networks. And if we manually switch off wifi in a saved location, it should not switch on again automatically until we leave that place once. Otherwise, working perfectly. |
|
[2013-02-20] A Google User: Ops Not working on 4.2.2 |
|
[2013-02-20] A Google User: Doesn't work on Nexus. I feel the APP could use an update as it's been awhile since last revision. I'm not sure it's working as it should on ICS - Android 4. But, it's FREE, so I shouldn't complain. Galaxy NEXUS. |
|
[2013-02-15] A Google User: Worked great on m nexus s Doesn't work on my new nexus 4 |
|
[2013-02-14] A Google User: Very good. Очень удобно. |
|
[2013-02-11] A Google User: Was a great app! App worked great but hasn't been updated in a while. It no longer remembers connections. Hope it gets updated sometime. |
|
[2013-01-31] A Google User: Needs time-out when user turns off WiFi App works well. Sometimes when I'm moving away from a WiFi router and the signal is getting weak, I want to turn off the WiFi to switch to mobile network. But Y5 will immediately turn the WiFi back on, which is very annoying and forces me to wait until I lose the signal completely or stop Y5. It would be better if Y5 can wait 5 or 10 minutes when I turn WiFi off before checking location and turning on WiFi again. The time-out could be fixed or user-configurable. |
|
[2013-01-31] A Google User: Used to be great until Android 4.2 Does not switch back to known Wi-Fi state after upgrade to JB 4.2 |
|
[2013-01-31] A Google User: Okay Doesn't turn WiFi off anymore. Needs to updated! |
|
[2013-01-26] A Google User: great app works well |
|
[2013-01-10] A Google User: Worked great, but not on Ice Cream Sandwich Worked great until I switch to Android 4.2. Now the app won't switch between the wireless and data connection reliably anymore. I emailed the developer over a month ago and got no response and there hasn't been an update in years. I guess the developer isn't supporting it any more. |
|
[2012-12-31] A Google User: Android 4.21 For some reason this has stopped working on the latest android. It detects cells and shows up when connected but forgets the known networks after what seems a random amount of time. |
|
[2012-12-19] A Google User: Genius +1 from Romania |
|
[2012-12-10] A Google User: It works but could use an update badly! |
|
[2012-12-10] A Google User: Useful but UPDATE IT pls Useful app for me and its free which is nice. Thank you. An update would be great though. Can we do that? 4 stars for an update |
|
[2012-12-08] A Google User: Doesnt work on s3 Worked amazing on my Evo 4g though. |
|
[2012-11-30] A Google User: Must Have It works , saves hassel and battery, it should be preloaded on all phones |
|
[2012-11-15] A Google User: Wish there was continued support by developer Good app. The app has no updates for over two years now. Looks like the developer has abandoned the app. Very sad. |
|
[2012-10-27] A Google User: ARC s Superb does it 4 me... |
|
[2012-10-20] A Google User: awesome i just got this works awesome a install and forget app i like it. |
|
[2012-10-12] A Google User: Perfect Works like a charm |
|
[2012-10-04] A Google User: Great app Macht was es soll. WLAN an wo es bekannt ist und WLAN aus sobald man aus dem Haus geht. Bequemer geht's nicht |
|
[2012-10-03] A Google User: Y5battery saver Good |
|
[2012-10-03] A Google User: Great Simple. Just works. Nice. |
|
[2012-10-02] A Google User: It works App hasn't seen an update in ages but darn thing does what it was intended to do. |
|
[2012-09-29] A Google User: Fantastic! This is an app that i had ever since i got an android phone. It saves a ton of battery and is a must download imo. Edit: works perfect! GS3 Jelly Bean 4.1.1 |
|
[2012-09-23] A Google User: Fantastic!!!! Doesn't get any better then this, works like a charm on all androids I've had including both my s3 t999 and 19300 |
|
[2012-09-13] A Google User: Used to work ... Doesn't turn wifi off anymore. |
|
[2012-09-13] A Google User: What more could you ask for? Saves battery, does what it says it will, doesn't crash or cause problems. App developers take note! **Other users with problems saying y5 is turning off your wifi when the screen shuts off or after 15 mins of inactivity, THATS YOUR PHONE'S POWER SAVER FEATURE OVERRIDING Y5. CHANGE YOUR PHONE'S SETTINGS, IT'S NOT Y5** |
|
[2012-08-25] A Google User: I have many phones relegated to wifi Since the new ones become one of the five active lines and so far this has not malfunctioned so I give it a 5. |
|
[2012-08-24] A Google User: Fantastic! Great addition to my lg slider! |
|
[2012-08-07] A Google User: No longer working on the HTC Rezound With the official ICS Update 4.0.3 OS. Tried 3 different ways uninstalled deleted the folder reinstalled. Just doesn't work anymore. Contacted the developer thru email didn't get any response yet. |
|
[2012-07-30] A Google User: Works on Jelly Bean! Wished it had more feature though |
|
[2012-07-29] A Google User: Great! Excellent battery life. Have tried several wi-fi managers, this is the only one which consistently connects to my home network when it should. |
|
[2012-07-24] A Google User: Was good... Now doesn't work. Not sure if conflict with another software update... But it now only works intermittently. Shame. |
|
[2012-07-20] A Google User: almost perfect nifty little app, does a great job at switching wireless on/off I just wish it would disable itself if I switch off the wireless manually until I turn wireless on again manually. or please make a widget for it so it can easily be enabled/disabled then this app will be perfect. big thanks to the developer :) |
|
[2012-07-11] A Google User: Not working wirh airave Stopped switching wifi after I got Sprint Airave box. |
|
[2012-07-05] A Google User: Great app Should be a default feature of android. |
|
[2012-07-02] A Google User: A must-have for WiFi users This makes using WiFi seamless. You never have to remember to turn it on or off, so you actually use it more often and save a lot of battery. |
|
[2012-06-28] A Google User: Probably doesn't save battery Something was slowing down my system. After investigation I noted numerous wake locks from network location service. After uninstalling y5 these wake locks (which will prevent the phone from sleeping) are gone and I'm free of slow downs. On the bright side, the app does work to turn WiFi on only at certain locations |
|
[2012-06-18] A Google User: Works great Works with ICS on galaxy S2 |
|
[2012-06-16] A Google User: Rb It's cool, hell its free.. |
|
[2012-06-05] A Google User: ritesh good |
|
[2012-06-02] A Google User: Really gud |
|
[2012-05-31] A Google User: Didn't work Kept Wi-Fi on when i was nowhere near a remembered network. Would force Wi-Fi on even after being shutoff manually |
|
[2012-05-21] A Google User: It works. Works as stated. Unlike many apps. |
|
[2012-05-18] A Google User: Not a fan Not what it says. Sometimes works Evo 4G |
|
[2012-05-15] A Google User: Good Works for me. |
|
[2012-05-14] A Google User: good for some It remembers locations where you've enabled Wifi, and automatically disables WiFi once you get a few miles away... and that's the problem, for me: The places I go are mostly within a couple miles of home, so Y5 rarely kicks in. It's not a flaw in the Y5 app, just a limitation of the Android "location" feature. |
|
[2012-05-10] A Google User: Good app Does what it says. Easy to use. |
|
[2012-04-17] A Google User: It was good when I first installed it At first, it worked marvelous.. Whenever I'm in 2 or 3 cells near a wifi, it would reconnect instantly but now it shows up 8 cells, and when I'm away from my home about 3 or 4 miles away, wifi starts searching for signal which I believe eats up battery. Honestly, I have no used for it anymore because I've created a widget that can toggle on and off wifi whenever I need it which to me is alot more stable. Nevetheless, very great app.. The app should only maintain in the 2 or 3 cell range, and also when I'm testing my mobile network at home, it should let me in my mobile network instantly instead of open up y5 and disabling it.. |
|
[2012-04-09] A Google User: Works great! Automatically turns on at the WiFi location I setup and turns off when I leave = perfect, just what I was looking for. Nexus S ICS 4.0.4 |
|
[2012-03-28] A Google User: Almost great Stays on when I don't need it to, like when I'm around familiar signals that it recognizes but that I still dont have access to - example: my office building. Every time I have to back out, go into the app, tell it to forget for that session and then go back into whatever I was trying to access.. Great for when I get home and the wi-fi automatically hooks in. Or when I leave and I'm just out and about with no known signals in range. Just a little tuning and this is tool that should come native in the core OS. |
|
[2012-03-27] A Google User: Good |
|
[2012-03-27] A Google User: Great App Best of its kind |
|
[2012-03-24] A Google User: Great Works Superbly! |
|
[2012-03-22] A Google User: Erratic Keeps switching wifi off when it should be on, and then seems to break the wifi detection requiring a reboot and disable of this app to connect to a known network. Great idea but just doesn't seem to integrate well on sgs2. |
|
[2012-03-11] A Google User: Works great! |
|
[2012-03-06] A Google User: Does what it supposed to do.. |
|
[2012-03-03] A Google User: Good Can sometimes interfere with connection, and makes multiple profiles for a single connection |
|
[2012-03-01] A Google User: Airplane mode Does not turn off wifi when in airplanemode |
|
[2012-02-25] A Google User: It works! And works nicely |
|
[2012-02-23] A Google User: Doesn't work like it should This used to work great but now wifi doesn't turn off when away from remembered networks, thus draining battery. Please fix. |
|
[2012-02-20] A Google User: Not working In ICS Does not work with icecream sandwich.. please make it work for 5 stars |
|
[2012-02-18] A Google User: Works awesome and a must have app to save your battery |
|
[2012-02-16] A Google User: Does exactly as advertised It was annoying not remembering to turn my wifi on when I got home and have my battery drain quickly due to poor cell signal. This app takes care of it for me after a very short time. Definitely recommend. |
|
[2012-02-16] A Google User: Needs update. Worked great in GB. not so much in ICS |
|
[2012-02-15] A Google User: Very effective But needs a few extra functions. Can you add an option not to interfere with the WiFi setting for a free minutes after I manually set it? Also,.can you make it temporarily switch to data while the final is very low? |
|
[2012-02-09] A Google User: Outstanding Great battery saver! |
|
[2012-02-09] A Google User: Good app, very handy dies what it needs to do |
|
[2012-02-05] A Google User: Works perfectly |
|
[2012-01-28] A Google User: This is a good app two get go Y5 that the way two go how bout that |
|
[2012-01-21] A Google User: Poor Battery hog on xperia pro. |
|
[2012-01-17] A Google User: Great idea. Was really hoping it would solve the problem of the WiFi not waking from deep sleep when in the vicinity of a known network, but unfortunately it can't. Since WiFi automatically switches off after 15 mins anyway, not sure I see the point of the app. Would be a brilliant app if it did solve the problem of WiFi going to sleep by itself after screen turns off. |
|
[2012-01-09] A Google User: Good Great addition to other battery savers |
|
[2012-01-07] A Google User: Does what it says |
|
[2012-01-06] A Google User: Can be a bit annoying when turning wlan on or off manually for various reasons, but an excellent app all in all. |
|
[2012-01-01] A Google User: k kool |
|
[2011-12-29] A Google User: Excellent Idea, impressive execution Heard about this app on AAWP of all the places. Must have app. Just install and forget about it. |
|
[2011-12-19] A Google User: Brilliant Does exactly what it says. Once installed you just forget about it ... it just works. |
|
[2011-12-17] A Google User: Good app excellent, very convenient and useful! |
|
[2011-12-14] A Google User: Excellent concept Great concept, and great for saving my battery life when I dare to leave the house. Google should buy this and integrate it into the OS. |
|
[2011-12-08] A Google User: Hmmm Works most of the time. Phone has to wake up to connect, and sometimes I have to go into WiFi settings to get the connection to initiate. |
|
[2011-12-03] A Google User: Simple is best Lightweight, ingenious, power saver app. Locale app makes things very complicated in comparison. |
|
[2011-11-30] A Google User: Needs an Update! No updates since 9/2010? Used to work great with my Froyo-based Epic 4G, but I've since updated to Gingerbread and rooted my phone and the WiFi won't reconnect when I return home. |
