Description
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.

Works for me! I had a problem with my WiFi disconnecting whenever i left my phone idle for some time. But by using this app n enabling turnaround 3 my problem is solved! Don't need to keep turning off n on my WiFi always.

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.

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.
