Both = yes

I will try the SNI in WL, see if that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
oh yeah, i forgot to mention that there is a bug in ICS that makes the icon disappear when UWW is first enabled. once the phone locks or unlocks once, the icon will return.
[Android Apps and Games] Fustigador:
Just bought it from market, working great in Samsumg Galaxy S2.

:D
[Android Apps and Games] :
Any plans to make this compatable with Galaxy Nexus? I would love to get this back on my phone!! I much prefer this app over the alternative (delayed lock). Thanks.:)
[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
Ok, that explains that. Except for the first time it worked all evening. Will keep testing this evening when I return home.

How is the BT-unlock feature going? Do you think you are going to pull it off? Or are there any technical barriers?
[Android Apps and Games] silicon_ghost:
It works. See my earlier posts in this thread as to how I got it working for me. There have been several updates since then that made it smoother with ICS. As Ben has pointed out, you can no longer use "pattern" unlocking. You need a PIN. I made my PIN in the same pattern as my old "pattern".
[Android Apps and Games] :
It may work but Android Market says "This app is not compatible with your device".
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
that's because i haven't updated the AM version yet. RTFT.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
the ICS compatible version is finally up on the android market! also on getjar. enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] eisteh:
Great that you released UWW on the android market :)

I just downloaded it (upgraded from previous version) and the ICS setup wizard appeared. After the screen where you have to define your future PIN I guess you have to select a WiFi Network to use with UWW. I had one predefined (as I upgraded from a previous version) and couldn't go to the next step. Means the next button was greyed out and I could only press cancel.

Is there a next step or was the wizard finished at this point? Cancel as the only available option isn't good then ^^
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
yeah, the add network step is the last step. you're right, it shouldn't show that if you've already added the network. i'll work on that.
[Android Apps and Games] eisteh:
Ok, so I got time to play around with the UWW a bit and it's not as good as it was on Gingerbread.

That you are forced to have a PIN was an ICS limitation IIRC?

Plus I get the default ICS Lockscreen when UWW is enabled, I'm connected to WiFi and set it to disable WL.

So right now, with UWW enabled, I got no benefits :/

While connected to WiFi I get default ICS lockscreen instead of WL, while not connected to WiFi I get WL + PIN, opposed to just WL than before.

As a side note, I removed all Sense-related lockscreen stuff because I don't like/use it anyways, maybe it is that causing trouble?
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
yes, ICS only allows PINs and passwords to be set/reset. sorry, nothing i can do about that. blame google.

if you don't want the stock slide to unlock screen, set the screen lock to "none" while you're connected to your wifi. this is in the faq.

if you don't like the way WL is working, try switching the setting in UWW.
[Android Apps and Games] GodinRaider:
Please, can you add Russian translation project?
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
you got it! http://crowdin.net/group/Unlock+With+WiFi+Russian+translation+group

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] GodinRaider:
Awesome =)

P.S. But how how can I join the project?
[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
I had a similar problem with WL, after enabling the WL icon on your statusbar it's working perfectly :)
[Android Apps and Games] eisteh:
Setting the screen lock to none always re-sets it to slide. As slide is no option (only pin, pattern, etc) I guess there's no normal way to prevent your phone from having any lock mechanism or it again is a bug in the rom.

Got to fiddle with the WL settings a bit more then. Thanks for the hint latino, I'm going to try that :)
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
eisteh, did you get WL working properly?
[Android Apps and Games] CCallahan:
I'm having issues with this working correctly on unlocked/rooted Motorola Photon 4G running stock GB. I've read the FAQ on the site but didn't see anything that applied except for JuiceDefender which I have set to not manage the WiFi connection at all.

I have the standard lock screen and using pattern lock. Seems when I first enter the WiFi zone and connect it will bypass the lock screen but after a few times the lock screen is back. Icon at top still says it is unlocked. It does this on my work and home connection (only one router in each location).

What steps should I take to try and troubleshoot?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
if you have the full version, press bug report in the menu right after the problem happens. if you don't have the full version, get it in the OP.
[Android Apps and Games] brmayhem:
Your Getjar link seems to be invalid. Can you take a look into it please?
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
dang, sorry about that. i will give them a kick in the pants.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
looks like this one works, but i will get them to fix the old one too

[Android Apps and Games] brmayhem:
Has the GPS option been deleted from the app? I see it on GetJar's screenshots but not in the app itself?
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
it hasn't been deleted, but it now only appears if your phone is actually capable of using it. if you don't see it in the settings, then it wouldn't work for you anyway. i've stopped listing it as a feature, because so few phones are able to use it these days.
[Android Apps and Games] dinoking:
Great app, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] roswell782:
Hi! It works great, only one feature i miss is automatic turn wifi on when back home. I didn t read all pages of this thread so maybe you have already explained why you didn't add this. I have tried Wifi@home but it breaks my schedule with AutoFlight.
[Android Apps and Games] mahercs:

[Android Apps and Games] dragon57:
Is the GetJar link ever going to work? GetJar tells me all my devices are incompatible which I know isn't true.
[Android Apps and Games] mahercs:
Ben,

Quick question on UWW. By design, did you intend for it to cause multiple wakelocks? Just wondering what the need was, as I am not a tech geek in any way and I'm having some issues with my battery life. I'm looking into all possible reasons and since UWW pops up in my wakelock report, I'd like to understand why.

TYIA!!
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
sorry, getjar discontinued their getjar gold program on may 1st. major bummer. thanks for reminding me to remove the link from the OP.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
UWW doesn't even have the wakelock permission, so it can't create wakelocks. the free version did have it, in order to download the full version from getjar, but i have discontinued the free version. are you using the free version?
[Android Apps and Games] mahercs:
Ben,

I am using the version that was on GetJar, so that may be the reason I see the wakelocks. What do you suggest to get rid of them?

P.S. You may also want to update your description on the Play Store to not refer to the free version. (Not sure if you control the AppBrain description or if that's pulled from the Play Store, but it's there as well.)
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
the getjar version does not have the wake lock permission either.

yes, i will change the desc. thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] mahercs:
Wait. Now I'm confused. You said in the the first reply that it did have wakelock permission so you could get the app on GetJar, and now you say that version didn't have wakelocks either???

If you're sure the GetJar version didn't have wakelocks, then how do you explain the fact that I am seeing them? I have version 2.4.8g
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
the FREE version, called Unlock With WiFi FREE, has the wakelock permission. that app is no longer available. the getjar version, while technically also free, is not the "free" version. sorry for the mix up. the getjar version does not have the wakelock permission. you can check this yourself on your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] mahercs:
Ok, thanks. But, and I am not trying to be a PITA, as I said, I am no tech geek so I am a little slow to understand some things. I would love to know how to check as you stated. Plus, if there are no wakelock permission in the version I am using, why am I seeing them in the screenshot? Or is that something else that I am misinterpreting?:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
you're looking at alarms, not wakelocks. they are not the same thing. an alarm is something that an app can set to wake up the phone at a given time in the future. when you have lock delay enabled in UWW, it sets an alarm when you turn your screen off. if your lock delay is set to 30 seconds, UWW sets an alarm to wake the phone 30 seconds after you turn the screen off, so that UWW can lock it. while the alarm is set, the phone is not awake. the phone only briefly wakes up when the alarm goes off, and UWW locks the phone. i'm not going to go into a full explanation of alarms vs wakelocks, but if you want to know more, you can google it.
[Android Apps and Games] mahercs:
I think I got enough from you without additional detail. Seriously, thanks for the explanation. :D

Seeing as how GJ no longer offers the gold program, is it safe to assume the version I am using won't get any more updates?
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
yeah, i won't be able to update it. sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
news flash: UWW works great on jelly bean :)
[Android Apps and Games] brmayhem:
Confirmed. Thanks bud.

Come on, i need an answer.

Two updates and still not on amazon.

How about InApp updates? Would that be possible?

[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
I'm sorry but the developer stopped development on this app. I wish somebody else would take over his work to add unlock with BT :)
[Android Apps and Games] Vaetheran2107:

Damn thats BS.

At least he could make the last updates available for buyers.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4 mit Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
What updates would that be? Did you PM him?
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
sorry, xda isn't reliable about sending me email notifications for this thread for some reason. i didn't get a notification for your post.

if the version from amazon is working for you, then you are not missing anything. there have been no new features added for quite some time. only bug fixes, and if you're not experiencing a bug, then you're not missing out on anything at all.

i haven't been updating amazon because their process is a pain in the a**, and their rules are draconian. i should probably just pull the app from their store.
[Android Apps and Games] Vaetheran2107:

the amazon version doesn't have wifi auto-off because believe it or not amazon rejected the app because of it. they made me take it out, along with the facebook and tweet buttons. that's why i can't stand doing business with them.

I can understand your point but you also have to understand me.

Could you at least send me the apk?

Development has stopped anyway if i got that right.

if you forward me your amazon receipt via email, i'll send you the google play version. you still won't be able to update the google play verison though.

How's this app on the battery?

Any known issues with the Galaxy Note 2?
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
no known issues on GN2. there's a small impact on the battery because you need to set the wifi sleep policy to never. this keeps the wifi connected when the screen is off. on my galaxy nexus, the battery impact is not noticeable.

Hello !

I don't have the app, but i would gladly make the Hungarian translation ! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
thanks for the offer. i let my subscription to the translation website i was using expire, so i don't have a way for you to help translate right now. if i have time, i'll look into setting it up again. i'll post here when i do.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
hey guys. good news: i've finally decided to make some time to work on UWW! i know you've been waiting a long time, so thanks for hanging in there. i have some decisions to make, so i wanted to get some feedback from the community.

i haven't been working on it partly because i've been extremely busy working on getting a new startup off the ground. however, it's also been partly because UWW has become so complex that it's really hard to work on. there are so many states that the app can be in, and keeping track of them all has become quite difficult. this is mainly because it's sort of two apps in one. there's the original code that unlocked the phone by disabling the keyguard, then there's all the code i had to add for device admin mode and android 4+.

the solution for this problem is to cut out all the old code that's there just for gingerbread and earlier. unfortunately, that would leave all my paying customers on older versions of android out in the cold. it wouldn't be right to do that to them. so the next logical step is to create a whole new app for android 4.0 and above that's leaner and meaner and easier to maintain. unfortunately, that means that existing users who want the latest and greatest would have to buy a new app. i want to see what you guys think of that. would you be willing to pay again if it means that i'll add some new features (unlock with bluetooth!) and other improvements? if you're not willing to pay again, would you at least not be mad if i did release a new app?

here's some benefits of making a new android 4+ app:

app would no longer need to run as a background service. this means less memory usage, and no risk of the system killing the app and locking the phone when you don't want it to.

app would no longer require a status bar icon to be reliable. i know this really bugged some of you.

app would be smaller and simpler

i could more easily add new features, like unlock with bluetooth and pattern unlock for root users

i'll update the UI to use an action bar and menu button, like an ICS+ app should.

maybe a new name for the app, since it will no longer unlock with just wifi.

so what do you say? new app or not?
[Android Apps and Games] Vaetheran2107:
I would like a new app with more functions and a better ui.

Pricing for the old customers should be at least half the regular price.

Gesendet von meinem Transformer TF101 mit Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
i agree about the pricing. i'll put the new app on sale for a short time after it's released so that existing users can get the new app at a discount.
[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
Hi Ben! Glad to hear that you are planning a new version! I really liked your application but missed the 'unlock with BT' feature to make use of it in my car. I often use maps, music etc on my phone in the car, and when the screen is off (I mostly don't use a cable to power it) I just don't want to have to enter a pin or swipe to unlock.

About the path to take: I would go for a total new application that's compatible with android 4.0 and higher. You simply cannot keep being compatible with older versions, especially if they changed a lot in those versions.

I would gladly pay for a new version with BT-functionality. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] mahercs:
I'd buy a new, leaner and meaner app, no question. And I love the potential new features, as well as the "sale price" path. Users should understand, but it's guaranteed some will complain. As the saying goes, "You can please only some of the people, some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time." Can't wait!
[Android Apps and Games] BillTheCat:
Ben, I imagine there are a couple ways to do it, but why not offer an in-app upgrade at a discounted price for those who already own a license and full price for those who don't?
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
unfortunately, there's no way for me to know whether the current user has previously purchased a different app (Unlock With Wifi). the app doesn't know "who" you are, unless i make you sign in with your google account, and i'm sure no one wants that.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
hey latino! i knew you'd be chiming in on this thread :)

it sounds like people are in favor of a new app! i'll be working on it all weekend. already got a lot done. i'll be ready to release a beta soon. at first, it will just include the existing functionality with a new UI and no background service. then i'll add new features to the beta like unlock with bluetooth as they're ready.
[Android Apps and Games] Randi:
Don't know if you are aware of it, the sgs4 has according to a review I read the uww feature inbuilt.
[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
Yeah well, I'm your biggest fan :p

Btw, how do you manage to keep the app alive if it's not running as a bg service?
[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
Any progress on the beta? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
Yeah, it's coming along. The new UI is pretty much done, and the original functionality is close to being done. I'm mostly writing unit tests now. Can't promise anything but hopefully I'll have a beta ready in about a week.
[Android Apps and Games] kentk:
Juce defender can be compatible.

There is an option to keep a wifi network connection on based on location and network.

The option is under the customize profile, settings. First turn on location and then set the options for each network to keep enabled.

Great work on the app. I am a paid user on an i777 running SHOstock 3.02. Looking forward to your 4+ version.

Now for a stupid question, how do I change the lock screen background?
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
the usual way?
[Android Apps and Games] kentk:
Told you it was a stupid question ;)

At least asked in a stupid way. I am coming from go locker which can use the launcher background which, in this case, is live wallpaper.

The usual way I know only works for pictures and static wallpaper.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
so i'm trying to think of a new name for the app. once i add bluetooth, and maybe some other ways of unlocking the phone, the name Unlock With Wifi won't make as much sense anymore. i'd like a name that's more general, but still gives people some idea of what the app does. anybody have any brilliant ideas? please search google play to make sure the name isn't taken before you post it. thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Vaetheran2107:
How about Unlock Any Way?

You could also name it just simple like Unlock or Just Unlock.

Gesendet von meinem Transformer TF101 mit Tapatalk 2

Open Sesame unfortunately already exists THREE times in the market.
[Android Apps and Games] mahercs:
Unlock It...couldn't find anything with that name already.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
Unlock My Phone is pretty good, but i think i want to get away from the word unlock. it's not very clear what unlock means. some people think it means carrier unlocking. there are a lot of carrier unlocking apps out there. i'd like a name that has more to do with the fact that you don't have to enter your password.

Auto Password was one idea i had. it doesn't have a great ring to it though. then again, neither did Unlock With WiFi :)

Thumb Saver? saves your thumbs from typing in your password all the time.

SuperConvenient? bit of a mouthful, but might make people curious enough to check it out.

Skip Password? awkward, but descriptive.
