Hi, I really like your app, but I have one problem: Whenever my SIM Card is locked (for example after switching into Airplane-Mode and back) I experience a problem similar to the one described by other users.

The screen only stays switched off for the lock delay time set in the settings of your app. After this time my screen turns back on and the phone stays unlocked. I can briefly see the numpad to enter the sim card pin, but then the phone shows the Homescreen. The only way to change this, and to unlock my sim card, is to disable the WiFi unlocker app.

This is on Android 2.3.3 (Oxygen 2.0.3) on my HTC Desire. Pleas let me know if you need further information.

Nice

[Android Apps and Games] kirby_blue:
All exact same issues on Nexus S 2.3.3. (no relock when I left wifi area, screen reactivates when turned off).

I thought it was because I used poweramp that I set to display on lockscreen but it seems it's not just that. I had to uninstall for my device to relock.

[Android Apps and Games] AlexNC75:
UPDATE: I am having screen wake issues.

I have found that when I get out of my WIFI range, my phone keeps waking up, lighting up the screen. It just keeps cycling from sleep to wake up, to sleep to wake up, never stopping until I disable the app. Though, when I get back into WIFI range, my screen goes back to normal, no longer waking up.

I have found the setting that is causing my screen to wake up. It is the "Enable Lock Delay" toggle. By default, it is set to 5 seconds. So, 5 second after the screen turns off it automatically comes back on. If I set it to 60, it will wait for 60 seconds to come back on; etc. Obviously this setting is not working like it should. I assume it should simply lock the screen in the background after the determined amount of time, not turn the screen on.

I have tried the "Enable Lock Delay" toggle in both positions, on and off. Both have the same result ... the screen coming on automatically at the "Lock Delay Time" interval that I have set.

Let me know what I can do to help you squash this bug, because I love the app, though it is unusable in this form. As a work around, I have set the "Lock Delay Time" to 3000 seconds. This works for now, but is only a band aid for the bug.

I just entered a pattern lock. I also use Widgetlocker as a lockscreen replacement.

I am currently in a 'safe' zone so your app says it's status is UNLOCKED.

Now when the screen goes dark I hear the 'pop' from widgetlocker going active.

When I unlock the screen (I hoped that wouldn't be necessary to begin with) I see the pattern screen dissapearing, and then it appears again and I have to use the pattern to unlock.

Any ideas? Won't it work with a third party lockscreen replacement?
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
make sure you're using the latest version (0.6.3) and please press Bug Report in the app and send me the log.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
sounds like you're using an old version. please update to 0.6.3.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
actually, version 0.6.3 should work without a password, as long as you keep lock delay turned off.

that's a possibility. maybe for a future version.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
are you using the latest version (0.6.3)? if not, try that and press Bug Report in the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
guys, you really need to read the OP. get the latest version and turn off lock delay if your screen won't stay off.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
i'm afraid not. Unlock With WiFi needs to have control over when the screen locks, and any other program that also tries to control the screen lock is going to interfere. sorry, no way around that. the way those lock screen replacements work is they replace the home screen app, not the actual lock screen, and Unlock With WiFi can't control the home screen app.
[Android Apps and Games] dinges3:
Is is possible to insert an option of still enabling the keyguard when the phone is in a safe zone? (using version 0.6.3 on a stock htc hero with htc sense). It successfully disables lock patterns but by disabling the keyguard as well, results in unwanted calls in my pocket sometimes...

Furthermore the app works very well!!! Its exactly what i was looking for, so many thanks to the developer!
[Android Apps and Games] dkratter14:
I see no reason why having it enabled by default would be a problem. Just leave vibrate and sound off by default as well.
[Android Apps and Games] TJaiharn:
Nice One ,Sir! :D

glad you're enjoying it. keep in mind that the beta expires on the 15th. after that, it will be available in the android market. i am planning ad-supported and paid versions.

I've been using it for 3 days now and it has been working flawlessly on my HTC HD2 running HyperDroidGBX-v11. Thank you so much for this application.
[Android Apps and Games] bisby:
this would be my biggest concern. I dont normally use a lock pattern, but its definitely a good idea to use one... but when I'm on my home wifi I'd rather it work like it always did (default lockscreen: push button, swipe left to right to unlock) than suddenly just be on. The requiring a pattern while out and about would be the new part for me, and something I look forward to. More of a feature request than bug report though.

Must Have

This is an idea I have been trying to figure out why google hasn't implemented themselves for a while now.

I definitely like the idea of adding the option to auto toggle wifi when leaving home. But having it toggle back on with course (Towers) location would be awesome. I like the idea of course location rather then fine (GPS). But enabling option per user settings would be cool expecially for those people on the edge of multiple towers.

I have never bought an app, but this is one I would consider. I don't think ad support would work to well as this should be a background service not something that I would open.

Would like to see the key guard enabled to prevent pocket dials.

[Android Apps and Games] Bernays:
Looks and works great. I'd love to have an option to not have the icon in the notification bar up top--that bar gets pretty full, and since I plan on having this always running in the background, I don't need an icon to tell me it's there.

[Android Apps and Games] ShotEm:
Love this app and the idea behind it.

Here are the issues I experience on a Google Nexus S running Gingerbread 2.3.3

Turing on or off the GPS does not function, it ignored the setting.

When unlocking it should maintain the slide swipe required to access the screen so that my battery is not wasted, also the samsung screen can be used through clothes and thin clothing causing the phone to launch apps while in my pocket when it gets the unlock command.

When sending the "lock" command to the phone while the screen is "off" turns the screen on for some reason which wastes the battery and leads to the above complaint about apps launching in my pocket.

Lock delay, which is a very desirable feature, creates randdom screen turn ons again leading to the above issue.

Having an option for unlock to go to a screen swipe option would solve most of the problems other than the GPS function not working.

This is an app that is very much needed and would be on the top of my must have list.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
new version 0.7.0

i've added a preview of the free, ad-supported version in the OP. i know many of you would like the app to be free with no ads, but i'm trying to make a living as an independent android developer, so i have to make money off my work. there's a lot of great free software out there, but sorry, not everything can be free all the time. i hope my users will understand this and support me.

the ad-supported version (0.7.0) will not expire on april 15th, like the beta will. the extra permissions that 0.7.0 requests are for the advertising system. you will see one ad a day in your notification tray. this version also includes a few bug fixes.

i'll be releasing the paid version soon, for those who want to avoid the ads!
[Android Apps and Games] ShotEm:
I want a paid version, I pay for software and this app will be worth it when you work out the kinks.

I am still not having much luck with this app. I have two friends with the same phone, and they too can not get it to work. Their phones are stock, and mine is rooted. Though, sometimes the app works perfectly, just not reliable enough for me to use (though a really want to).

- randomly will not unlock. Even though it shows that it is activated and unlocked... but I am still forced to go through the HTC Sense and Pattern lock screens.

- running HTC Incredible, Froyo, unREVOked root, stock ROM, stock kernel

- v0.6.3

- i have tried it with lock delay on and off. both the same.

- see video below.

I'll post a video once it is done uploading.
[Android Apps and Games] CaptainFabulous:
I just installed this (v.7) today and it seems to work well. No complaints, does what it's supposed to do.

Very minor bug, sometimes sentences run off the side of the screen in portrait mode, for example "WiFi off when leaving ho". That's what I see. Again, very minor, but should be fixed up at some point.

[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
Just installed this a few mins ago so no real feedback yet on its performance. It did occur to me as I was going through the settings that having it set to "turn GPS off when at home" could lead to legal issues if some poor soul has a 911 emergency and his/her GPS is off and they can't fully communicate with the 911 operators.

This could somehow be twisted around by the lawyers to be YOUR fault as the developer.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
please send me the log by pressing Bug Report in the app's menu.

[Android Apps and Games] rndmsfree:
update

I just started noticing that when enabled, my Droid is lagging, locking up, and giving some weird issues (homescreen switching is twitchy and not very responsive). Phone works fine when I disable the app.

I really like the idea, but I think I'll come back to it when you've had some more time to work out the kinks. In the mean time, I'll continue to use "No Lock," which has fewer features, but runs great on my phone.

[Android Apps and Games] rcchusid:
I downloaded about two hours ago and have set this up for the WiFi networks at my office and home, and also tested the lock delay when between the two sites. So far everything works fine on an original Droid with Froyo.

From a marketing perspective, I'd suggest promoting both the ability to turn off the lock screen based upon WiFi location and the lock delay. On my old Palm I was used to only having the option of a lock delay with a common third party application. While using location via WiFi makes more sense, a lot of former Palm users have migrated to the Droid and some might be looking to do things exactly how they did in the past.

I have turned off the notification icon, but I didn't mind that it was on initially when first testing it out. It is a simple matter to turn it off.

I hate the idea of an ad on the notification screen long term, but that might be one way to give people a chance to test the program out before deciding whether to buy. With Google now only giving a 15 minute period to return apps, it is important for an app like yours to have some sort of way to test it longer. Fifteen minutes is not enough to tell if it works, and it will be much harder to sell it if people can't be certain that it works first. There are far too many programs which did similar things which no longer work under Froyo to expect people to buy it without a reasonable test period.

I like the idea of requiring use of the lock screen once when arriving at home or work. (As I have not yet returned to an area after setting it up, I haven't actually tested this feature yet). Using the lock screen occasionally is no problem--it is having to do it repeatedly which I'd like to avoid.

From my perspective the program does everything it needs to do for me to buy it, but one additional feature might be the option of periodically requiring the use of the lock screen even if within the original WiFi range as added security just in case someone has a dishonest neighbor close enough to pick up their WiFi signal. Also not essential, but it might be handy to be able to have a different lock delay for different WiFi networks.
[Android Apps and Games] waylo:
I wish this had come out a lot earlier, as I was looking for a good way to establish the lock delay without using CM6/7, as the lock routines apparently changed from Eclair to Froyo.

I purchased Tasker, which with the appropriate plugin, can do this, though not quite so neatly!

Still a great app!

LG Optimus 2X running MoDaCo FR6 Gilgamesh Edition 0.6 - love it, excellent work and very polished.

My only small (and trivial) suggestion would be to change the colour scheme - cyan on white isn't always the easiest to distinguish.
[Android Apps and Games] Faticanus:
After a night with flight mode turned on and turning it off again at the morning the phone didn't ask for my SIM-PIN. That's ok for me and probably an intended functionality of the app but my phone could not connect to the mobile network anymore (Wifi works). Only a reboot solved the problem. Maybe this occurred because I was about 8 hours in flight mode?
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
if your phone connects to your home wifi network while the screen is on, you don't have to enter your password. since the screen must be on when you turn off airplane mode, that behavior is intentional.

i doubt UWW has anything to do with why your phone didn't reconnect to the cellular network. UWW does not alter your connection with the cellular network at all.

I've tried this on an HTC desire.

problems:

1] without changing any of the default settings, it doesn't allow me to turn off the phone anymore, keeps turning it on for me.

2] it doesn't work well with "green power".

"green power" turns wifi off when not in use and back on when needed to save power. Unfortunatly this means that "unlock with wifi" thinks I have left the home network.

I guess I have to choose between one app or the other.

Anyway this is not a major point since this is just my setup.

But point 1 is critical, the developer should look into why an HTC desire just won't shut off with this app running.

appreciate the idea .. it's great and hope to download an improve version of this app later on the android market!
[Android Apps and Games] tollstorp:
Downloaded and installed the ad-supported version (when will the ads be displayed i wonder?).

Seems to work on HTC Desire HD.

I use Juicedefender (payed version) to automatically turn off my Wifi when I leave home and then automatically turn it on again when i return home. Juicedefender is probably my favourite app of all time. It extends my batterylife 50-80%.

Juicedefender will however not turn on or off the GPS so this complements that app very nicely!

I also want a short screen timeout and zero delay on my screen lock for security reasons, but of course this is anoying when at home or work so this app really comes in handy!

Will report back if I encounter any bugs.

Just tested the ad-supported version.

The adverts should really indicate which app is producing them. I would be infuriated to suddenly get adverts in the notification bar without knowing which app was causing them - or which app I'd be supporting by clicking on them. Have a look here for a user who is likely to give the app a bad review: http://androidforums.com/incredible-support-troubleshooting/119912-ads-my-notification.html

Make sure you warn users that the ads will appear in notifications, otherwise people would just assume that it'd be the usual banner ad in the app.

On the bright side for you, having AdFree installed on my phone didn't seem to stop the advert. I suspect you'll also get a decent click through rate because the notification will be clicked on just to get rid of it. No so good for the advertisers.

I won't be seeing any ads anyway because I intend to buy it as soon as it is available. I didn't realise how much I wanted this app until you wrote it!

Finally, reading the Licence Agreement it says "By pressing OK, you agree to be bound...". There is no OK to press so I presume no user will actually be bound to the EULA.
