All benchmark info is skewed. Tried 1500mhz and the only app I noticed a difference on was gun bros. A new more efficient version of rom made it run fine at 998mhz. Not worth the extra wear and tear on your device. Simply changing things like your launcher can have larger effects.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sj_martin:
Hi All,

I know how deep these forums can go and the latest and greatest always changes as time progresses.

I currently have the Samsung Vibrant running TW - Bionix 1.3.1 because it is by far the best for that particular phone.

I am getting a Nexus S tonight and want to immediately root and flash the best ROM.

I know it can be a subjective topic, but what would you say has the greatest support, most frequent updates, and the best performance for the Nexus S?

How are the OTA updates from Google? Are they still pushing them out with high frequency? Are there any issues that I should be aware of? I remember at launch there was a restarting issue.

Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navlem:
Go with CM7 if you want constant updates (nightlies). You won't go wrong with CM7 :)

If you like themed rom, you can try Axura. It's animations are very nice. But it has since stopped because developer is changing phone.

Otherwise you can try SuperAOSP, which is my current ROM. It is also my favourite ROM. It's very fast, constantly updated, and has a few interesting themes to play around with. It has CM options and it's own "SupSetup" which provides even more options to customize your phone with. It comes with a custom kernel also made by the same developer to be fully compatible with the ROM.

Hope you get the ROM you like :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
I'm personally using CM7 as my daily driver.

CM7 Build #32 + Netarchy 1.3.0-CFS

MIUI is pretty good too.

.. basically any ROM with Netarchy 1.3.0-CFS... you really can't go wrong with it :) amazing battery life. 60% on 14 hours.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sj_martin:
Thanks guys. I know I need to read through all the dev posts, but I spent weeks on the Vibrant forums to get started, and want to hit the ground running with the Nexus.

Appreciate the help!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sj_martin:
I think i'm going to go down the CM route. I always wanted to try on the vibrant, but was never officially supported.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
You can always read up on all of the available ROMs on the thread on my signature. I'm about to go update it to get things completely up-to-date but most of it is. I just have to add SuperAOSP and update the status of Axura which is that it is no longer going to be updated.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
Unlock With WiFi has been reborn as SkipLock!

Unlock With WiFi is now available on the Android Market! Thanks for your feedback everyone!

Get it on the Android Market

What does the app do?

Unlock with WiFi unlocks your device when you're connected to your home WiFi network. What does "unlock" mean? It means you don't have to enter your password/pattern/PIN when you turn on your phone. When you're at home, or work, you don't need to worry about losing your phone, so why should you have to enter your password?

How does it work?

When you get home (or to work, whatever), and connect to your WiFi network, your device will unlock. Then when you leave, and the WiFi disconnects, the device will lock again.

You have to enter your password the first time after you connect to your WiFi network. This is so that if someone steals or finds your phone, they can't just bring it to your house to unlock it. After you enter your password once while connected to your WiFi network, you won't have to enter it again until you leave/disconnect.

What else does it do?

You can also set a lock delay, for when you're not at home. The default delay is set to 5 seconds, so when you turn the screen off, the device won't lock until 5 seconds have passed. That way, if you remember something you forgot to do, you can turn it back on without entering your password.

There are also options to:

Turn off WiFi when you leave home

Turn on Bluetooth when you leave home

Turn off Bluetooth when you get home

Turn on Sync when you get home

Turn off Sync when you leave home

If you have any problems with the app, please post on this thread, or PM me. Also, the app has a built in feature for reporting bugs. It will send me the system log file via email. You need to install SendLog in order for this to work, but please do so because the log file is extremely helpful to me for troubleshooting.

Please read the FAQ before posting a question or reporting a problem.

I hope you like the app, and look forward to hearing your feedback!

Known limitations:

See the FAQ for known limitations.

Versions:

There are two versions: free and full. The free version only allows you to configure one wifi network as a home network, and the extra options are disabled. Note that the free version no longer shows ads! If you like it, please buy the full version. The full version allows an unlimited number of home networks, and all the options are enabled. You can get the full version on the Android Market.

Changelog

I will no longer be maintaining the changelog here. See my website for release notes.

Nice idea, probably good app, but I can achieve all this and much much more with Tasker. Much more complex, indeed, and that is probably where your app comes into play - simple and easy.

But still, i prefer Tasker ;)
[Android Apps and Games] combatdan:
Good Idea!

Fantastic idea! If you add in the functionality found in the Y5 - Battery Saver App, it could be an all in one app:

You get home

Recognizes Cell towers

Turns on WiFi

Connects to Network

Unlocks Phone

You leave home

Leaves area of Recognized Cell towers

Turns off WiFi

Locks Phone
[Android Apps and Games] brillantesdv:
good concept. it does what it says...prevents your phone from locking.

but on my phone (Incredible, CM7), it's kind of annoying because you can still press the volume buttons or trackball (if setup) to wake the phone. what sucks about that is you can inadvertently turn your ringer off, or wake the screen if your fumbling around with your phone your pocket or something.

again, app works as it said it would, and does it great. just not what im looking for.

i want to just disable the passcode, not the screen lock feature.
[Android Apps and Games] M1kk0:

[Android Apps and Games] MTN_HD2:
i have CM7 and it works fine ... (i can disable track ball wake ) but doesn't leaving the wifi on when your home increase battery drain :D ? food for thought

you could also add this : ask the user to specify a place as home with gps then lock/unlock according to that . it won't be as accurate as wifi tho
[Android Apps and Games] BSenesac:
Works on Droid X

This app seems to work great. Thanks so much - this is perfect for me in healthcare with security issues related to HIPAA. I hate the idea of constantly typing in my password when I know that I have my phone with me at work or at home. Great app

I second the idea to have wifi automatically turn on when I get home or work.
[Android Apps and Games] Faticanus:
Great idea. I'll try it after work this afternoon.
[Android Apps and Games] twosix:

A question about GPS enabling. I'm a Tasker user; I've installed a GingerBread (2.3.3) ROM in my HTC Magic and now Tasker shows me a message explaining that's not possible to enable/disable GPS without user interaction in GingerBread due to Google changes in Android code. So, will be possible to make such actions with this app?

Thanks!

new version 1.0.1

i've added a fix that might help some people who are having a problem with the phone not unlocking. let me know if this solves the problem!
[Android Apps and Games] mrlad:
This version still automatically turns on after I hit the power button to put it in standby. However, after a few seconds, now it gets into a permanent cycle of enabling/disabling the lock screen. Had to reboot the phone to recover.
[Android Apps and Games] mrlad:
I run green power too and have both of these issues. As posted above, the 1.01 update made issue #1 much worse. Running with a Optimus V from Virgin Mobile.
[Android Apps and Games] tollstorp:
Unfortunately it seems to not work if Juicedefender turns off your Wifi. Bummer. If it did work I would pay for it, now I'll have to wait for it to go on cell tower location instead if that's possible? I Think that's how Juicedefender knows how to turn on Wifi at least.
[Android Apps and Games] crachel:
Purchased & given 5 stars..

One small request: could we get a more Gingerbread-friendly notification icon?

Guidelines: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_status_bar.html

I'm not sure if you're familiar with Gentle Alarm, but something similar to that in which it allows you to select a Froyo-style or Gingerbread-style icon.. its out of place with my other icons. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] CyberPunk7t9:
Congrats. I've always thought of/wanted an app like this.

But I think your app should have a different name for what it can do.

Some of us has a daily routine. Would be awesome if I can time my toggles to auto enable/disable.

Like I know I take off to work everyday at this time, I wish for wifi to turn off itself as I leave home and for network data turning on in place for the time I'd be on the road. Say I need approx 30 mins to get to work. I have wifi at work. Then data shuts off and wifi turn on again after this 30 mins...etc. And some maybe can even change things for their weekends routine. Really would be awesome and adds to our productivity knowing that the best saving we can do to the battery is done for being online 24/7.

Good luck.
[Android Apps and Games] mrlad:
There is a 3rd issue I'd like to report. The Optimus V has hard buttons on the front. Is there a way to disable these buttons from automatically taking you out of standby (i.e only the power button can get you out of standby)?

The problem I have is the buttons I have can easily get pressed by accident while in my pocket and then take all types of random actions since there is no lock screen.
[Android Apps and Games] AHWagner:
I'd really like it if you could also be able to disable the 'no lock' feature. Sometimes I just like it to lock when I'm at home, but when I leave home, automatically shut off WiFi.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
please press Bug Report in the menu and send me the log. also make sure you're using the latest version (1.0.1).
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
are you saying UWW isn't working? if so, please press Bug Report in the menu and send me the log.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
yeah, if green power is turning off the wifi, then obviously UWW isn't going to work. it needs to stay connected to your wifi to keep the phone unlocked.

if 1.0.1 isn't working for you, then i recommend uninstalling it and going back to 1.0 from the market.
[Android Apps and Games] decodecoding:
First of all, thanks to the developer for your work.

Just a question: Does stock Gingerbread make imposible for the app to turn on/off Wifi and GPS? Still the lock feature makes it worth installing but... :p

[Android Apps and Games] djhcmd:
Works as people have said on Droid 2 with Fission 2.5.7. My only complaint is with the volume and camera keys turning the screen on. It's not a big enough deal to stop me from heading to the market and buying it now just so that I dont have to watch the thread for updates.

Also, I should mention that a buddy sent me the gizmodo link and it's doubtful I would have seen this if he hadn't seen it there. U'll have to tell them they're doing a great job marketing this for you!

Edit - I didn't notice this until just after I posted but after the timeout delay is reached and the phone locks itself again (this is off wifi), usually the "emergency call" button is gone from bellow the pattern lock. As someone mentioned before, there could be a liability issue here god forbid, but it is probably something you should make a priority.
[Android Apps and Games] mrlad:
I see you pulled 1.0.1. Do you still want me to capture a log?
[Android Apps and Games] mrlad:
I did some more experimenting. Turns out that if I disable Green Power, the problem of the phone just auto-powering on itself after a few seconds goes away. I can understand why there are WiFi issues w/GreenPower but why does Green Power cause the phone to immediately come out of standby after a few seconds of going into standby?

Can't live w/o green power cause the phone will run out of juice in just a few hours. Any chance you could get UWW to co-exist w/Green Power?

[Android Apps and Games] xfire0384:
I've noticed a small issue on my Droid X. After leaving home, and when the lock screen is enabled, it goes directly to the pattern lock. I wouldn't find this a big problem, except for that the "Emergency Call" and "Emergency Contact" buttons are gone.
[Android Apps and Games] frenchie007:
if my phone doesnt have a data plan and only uses wifi. i wouldnt be able to use the function that would turn the wifi back on if it was implemented right? because how would my phone notice when i was in an area with my home wifi?
[Android Apps and Games] 32str8:
Same thing here. Biggest problem is that after unlocking it and turning off, when I turn it back on, it then goes to my Sense lock screen and as soon as I swipe it, it does not go to my pattern lock screen so it is essentially not locked and therefore not working. This may be by design after it is initially unlocked, but I don't think that is how it should work. Using Y5 battery saver to turn off and turn on my wifi so I have "wifi off when leaving home" unchecked.
[Android Apps and Games] Pender1:
so far so good. Just installed on my non-rooted HTC Thunderbolt from the market. I'll update after further testing but seems to work well. I would definitely like to see a WiFi on when returning home option added in the future.

[Android Apps and Games] bentomlin:
Not really a lock

Well, no problem installing. Nice easy interface.

However, I wouldn't say that this does what it should do, based upon what it's doing on my phone. I'm using an HTC Desire with 2.2 and whilst at home, the device is "unlocked" which basically means any button whatsoever will still work. The only difference to normal is that the screen is black.

When I lock the phone with the lock button, it should lock my phone with the slide lock. It shouldn't still be listening for button presses including Home, Back, Search, Menu, Trackball and Volume buttons.

I don't want my phone to be doing crazy things in my pocket. Sliding my thumb downwards isn't a chore so that functionality should really be there.

Possible?
[Android Apps and Games] tommo123:
worked well enough but it seems to stop me getting out of airplane mode. it doesn't popup asking for my pin so i can't do anything :(

[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
yes, pressing the volume buttons, or any other key wakes up most phones when they're unlocked. this is the manufacturer's decision, not mine. sorry, i can't prevent those buttons from waking up the phone when it's unlocked. my suggestion is don't carry your phone in your pocket at home.

After only a few days, I've managed to make calls, launch games and even colorize a picture in Zebra Paint (my daughter's app ;)) - with the phone in my pocket :rolleyes:

I really liked the idea of this app, but it should only disable PIN-lock, not slide lock, when in the safe zones.

Until that happens, the app poses a bigger problem than it solves to me. Sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] tommo123:

[Android Apps and Games] 5hi7h34d:
Obviously. Since I already have this app installed and it seems like a logical option I mentioned it. Also, I'd have already bought tasker if it was a dollar or two, $6.50 is ridiculous for the use I would get from it.

Bluetooth support?

Installed the app and love it, thanks! It's exactly what I have been looking for. I have a suggestion for a feature if it's possible to implement.

Would you be able to do the same with a bluetooth connection to keep the screen from locking? I stream music over Bluetooth via A2DP in my car. It would be great if the screen was kept unlocked while connected to my car and would lock back up as usual once disconnected.
[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
It wouldn't make sense. This app uses the wifi-connection to determine that...you are connected with wifi....so if you turn wifi off to save juice the app will automatically assume you are not connected with wifi so it would lock your phone again. Or am I totally wrong here? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] latino147:
it should not only disable pin-lock, it should be configurable to disable, pin-lock, slide lock or both :D
[Android Apps and Games] Faticanus:

Also: it would be great if the unlock functionality could be provided when the phone is paired to a particular Bluetooth device. For example, I leave Bluetooth on my phone enabled constantly because I have a Bluetooth-capable stereo in my car. As soon as I get in my car, my phone pairs with the head unit and launches Car Home. It would be awesome if I could configure it to also disable the pin code screen lock while it is paired to my stereo. You'd just need to rename the app to "Unlock with Wireless" :D

Thank you for the app.
