Airplane-mode Option?

Is it possible to have a mode that would allow the app to work (use known wifi networks) when Airplane-mode is selected?

There is an app called Auto WiFi Toggle that has this options but is not as slick as yours. :cool:

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
I'm afraid not. That app uses a scheduler to turn WiFi on periodically to check for hotspots. My app does have a periodic check but works differently. It doesn't need to turn WiFi on to know if there's a hotspot available. I guess that's a good and a bad thing depending on the situation. :)
[Android Apps and Games] heavyt:
Thanks for the quick response. I was hoping I could just use the wifi only and not the cell radio of my phone with your app. :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] sage55:
What should my settings be?

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've downloaded and installed the app but have noticed it "not working" or at least how I thought it would.

When I'm at home the wifi seems to be turned on without any issue. I admit when I left the house this morning I did not check the phone on my commute in to see if wifi turned off. However when I got to work I noticed Smart Toggler had my wifi "locked". After unlocking it and connecting to works wifi all seemed good.

That was until I went to lunch and did notice that while I was no where near work that wifi was on, so I manually turned it off. When I got back to work and checked the phone sometime after lunch I noticed the wifi was still off.

I'm curious what are the "ideal" settings for this app so that it turns off wifi when I'm not at work or home and turns it on while I am.

My current settings are as follows:

Wifi disconnect: 30

Trial timeout: 45

User Manual: 60

Minimum check: 10

Periodic check: empty

Triggers: empty

Start on boot: checked

Run in persistent mode: checked

Enabled auto-connect as default: checked

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
It seems the app was still connected to a cell associated with your hotspot, that's why it though you are near a hotspot. I'm not sure how far your launch place is, but that's what appears to have happened.

When you manually turned it off, you basically locked it. Doing that will disable the app and it won't enable WiFi again until you manually enable WiFi or unlock it.

Those settings will not affect the accuracy of the app. How accurate the app is depends largely on how dense the cell network is wherever you are. That's why it may not work as well for you. You can try setting the "Cell signal influence" setting to strong to increase accuracy. That and enabling the barometer are the only ways to play with the accuracy.

Let me know how it works out.

Is there a changelog for version 2.3 from post 1 anywhere?
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
I've updated the first page. 2.3 is still under testing so you can only get it on xda.
[Android Apps and Games] Jizzay1:

great app, great new ui in 2.3!:)

i hope the dark ui will be back, though...;)
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
I see version 2.3 in the play store. The description and pictures show that. But I'm not getting any option to update. If I uninstall and then reinstall, I still get 2.2.x.

Is there something wrong with what was loaded to the play store?

I have a Verizon GS3.
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
I'm using the new partial deployment on Google Play. 2.3 is 50% in production until I iron out all the bugs.
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
Ok. That seems like poor design by Google then. It probably shouldn't show me a version that isn't available to me. That's confusing.
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
If you mean the version number then yes, they shouldn't show that. But there's no way to set version specific screenshots, so I've already updated all the screenshots to the latest one.

1Feature missing is the Reset to default settings in case any changes made in settings .
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
Yes, that's a good idea. Thanks for your help. :)
[Android Apps and Games] SgtSausage21:
Love the new update, however any chance we could get the old active log brought over to the new version. I liked seeing what was going on under advanced, i actually understood most if it which was cool.

Now the UI is much simpler, and much better in my opinion, but an option, or a seperate screen for advanced users would be appreciated. Thanks ,
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
I found it to be a very rarely used feature, so I didn't give it priority during the UI update. I will consider adding it back. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Smokeaire:
I've been testing this for a couple of days and it has been working perfectly. I've even forgotten it is on until I happen to notice my wifi is off. I was curious as to how quickly it would turn wifi off and on considering it uses cell signals. Well my wifi is turned off by the time I get into my car which is just a few feet outside my front door and turns on by the time I'm in the house.

I haven't noticed any additional battery usage that is above normal.

Excellent job on this.
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
Disabling WiFi is actually timer based. You can set the timeout from the "Disconnection timeout" setting. Re-enabling WiFi is location based and uses the network location.

Good to hear it's working well for you. What type of device are you using it on?

I am probably doing something wrong. But I can't get it to stay connected to my wifi network for more than the timeout settings. After 120 seconds of manually turning on wifi, connecting, it then disconnects. What am I doing wrong? ( I swear it used to work just fine).

[Android Apps and Games] toddbecker:
My company seems to block some content over wifi, but not all content (including slacker). I would like to crater a trigger that will turn off wifi forX minutes every Y minutes so the phone establishes a cellular connection and gets the blocked updates. Is this possible?
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
Can you send me the app's log showing this happening?
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
Not really. Unless you want to do it the tedious way and create 50 triggers locking and unlocking WiFi at specific times. :)
[Android Apps and Games] toddbecker:
What does the enable/disable data do (if wifi is connected)? Is this just a way to minimize days usage when not on wifi?
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
It toggles the data setting in Android. It has no affect while connected to WiFi, but once that connection drops Android won't be able to switch to data if it's been disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] dunjamon:
Love this app...was just what I was looking for.

Quick question, we have 2 networks at work. One is locked and available in the building and one that is open but only in my office. Is there anyway of setting the app so that it auto connects to the open one when I'm in my office, but then switches when I go out, and then back when I return? So far, I have to manually keep changing it back.
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
The app can't switch networks. It's basically a toggler. It does not have any WiFi management features.

I will be looking forward to add this feature when I have some time to work on the app.
[Android Apps and Games] 1di9:
I've a similar problem, when at home sometimes (often) my smartphone (samsung s7562) suddendly switch off wifi causing disconnection from my wifi network, I need to manually turning on wifi e reconnect.

Lame answer, but i had some setting turned on that was messing with it. I will post a screenshot tomorrow morning.
[Android Apps and Games] aussieandroid:
Hi guys. I've loved this app for a long while, but have noticed since the 4.3 update on my Nexus 4, this app doesn't seem to be working properly anymore for me.

I've reflashed my phone just to make sure it's not something I did.

Basically, I installed the app with all the default settings (I believe, apart from maybe extending the timeout when I manually turn on wifi). The app turns off my wifi when I leave the area, but it doesn't turn it back on when I come back.

If I open the app, I can see it says something along the lines of wifi enabled, but my wifi doesn't turn on. If I try turning it on manually, it wont let me and wifi turns off instantly.

To get wifi working again, I have to open the toggle app, press the lock button, then turn my wifi on manually.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
Try disabling the "Scanning always available" option under android settings > wifi > advanced and see if that helps. That feature is a bit problematic but a fix is on its way.

Other than that, since you're running a custom ROM there's no easy way to know what's going wrong. I am running 4.3 myself and it's working fine.
[Android Apps and Games] aussieandroid:
Thanks mate. I've changed that option and will monitor how it goes.

[Android Apps and Games] supernova18:
thanks for SWT!

I disabled persistent mode only because it consumes 22 mb RAM, I thought it was a lot. Why?

It's on background mode.

I also have Wifi auto-lock when asleep set in wifi settings. That got things a little crazy. It restarts randomly sometimes.
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
RAM usage is not a straight forward topic. First, the OS isn't conservative about allocating memory to processes. So as long as there's enough resource to everyone, there's no need for aggressive memory management. Second, part of that memory is shared with other processes, so it's not being used only by the app itself.

If you've set the wifi policy to disable wifi when the phone is asleep, it will most likely conflict with the app. Most OS versions have an issue that causes them to behave weirdly whenever something else other then themselves enable WiFi when the phone wakes up. Also, the usual case is that disabling wifi will have your phone jump to data, which is more battery consuming.
[Android Apps and Games] sohojmanush:
Sorry,I wasnt able to find the thread before mailing you.Is it possible to add the featuree to turn off mobile data while its connected to any wifi network and turn it back when its not ?

EDIT: Got a response from the developer and noticed a faq is present there (faq 15) :eek: I never knew what is on the on menu,installed it went to spots where I have accesses and then went back there. SMT was doing and still doing what it should do.So,I thought it would be unwise to disturb it and let do it work however it wants.

There's however some wakelock's may be ,not sure hmsic or something like that,but that is much less then wakelock generated by keeping wifi on.

Now,wifi issue gone so have to search for display battery drain issue :D

Notification and battery consumption

First, thank you for providing such a nice application!

I have one thing to request for the app.

When I check “Run in persistent mode”, a message like “Tap here to launch the application” always show at Notification. I would like to have an option to disable (not show) the notification.

I used to use Y5 and found that Smart Wifi Toggler has much more battery consumption than Y5. Is there any chance to reduce?

With which setting does it consume higher battery, “Run in persistent mode” On or Off?
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
Hi zu0ke. You cannot run the app in persistent mode and omit the notification. I'm afraid this restriction is enforced by Android.

Regarding your point about battery consumption, this really depends on how you've configured the app to run. Have you scheduled frequent WiFi checks or set a short WiFi hopper interval? Those are examples, but similar settings can forbid the device to enter proper sleep mode thereby cause battery consumption.

Moreover, I'd like to know how you are measuring the battery consumption and that has brought you to this conclusion.
[Android Apps and Games] sohojmanush:
Working fine like 'set it, forget it".Now having some issues regarding "manual wifi lock".By default "manual wifi lock" is enabled.And I didnt bothered it.So,for whatever reason I turn the wifi off,then move around some other places and came back home.But,no wifi "smart" says wifi locked.But,there is option "automic wifi lock" which says locked but enabled when you move around.I clicked that option and it popd out disable,failed hotspot etc....confusing :( all want "smart" to do regardless whether wifi is enbled or disabled by wifi ..its must enable when came back ,my ringtone profile depends on it :D
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
Manual WiFi lock will stop the app from toggling WiFi when you manually disable it. With the app running, you don't normally want to disable WiFi manually unless you want to pause the app. When WiFi gets disconnected, the app will disable WiFi on its own. If you manually disable it, the app will understand that you want WiFi disabled, no toggling, until you manually enable it again.

Automatic WiFi lock is designed to pause the app in certain situations. An example would be when the hotspot accuracy is not good and the app keeps thinking it is near a hotspot. To avoid constant toggling, the app automatically locks wifi to a disabled state. Re-enabling wifi depends on the configured setting.
[Android Apps and Games] zu0ke:
Thank you for the fast response.

I understood the notification issue. By the way, I can stop showing it with Android settings mentioned in an earlier post.

For measuring the battery consumption, I am using Battery Mix (an Android application).

Specific procedure as follows.

(Device: Xperia ZR, Android 4.2.2)

1.	Set to default settings in Smart Wifi Toggler and Y5. (Uninstall and re-install, or clear data and cache in Android setting)

2.	Enable the application. (Smart Wifi Toggler or Y5)

3.	Clear all logs in Battery Mix.

4.	Shut off the screen.

5.	Put on a desk and leave untouched for 1 to 2 hours. (at my home with a stable Wifi connection)

6.	Turn on the screen and watch Battery Mix.

Y5 shows very little consumption, but Smart Wifi Toggler has certain level (ex. more than Apex launcher or K-9 Mail (with push)).

I even set ‘Minimum check interval’ to 0 (no check), but there is not much difference (of course, Wifi hopper has never been enabled).

I will re-measure and post consumption percentages later.
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
Just curious, what is Android's battery consumption showing?

By the way, setting minimum check interval to zero will consume more battery as it will not wait between two consecutive checks. That interval will set the minimum secs to wait between two consecutive checks, so the longer it waits, the less work it will be doing within a certain time frame.
[Android Apps and Games] AvRS:
Hi mate, has this been updated for KitKat 4.4? Only reason I ask is because on the Nexus 4 it was perfect and I would come in and out of range of my WiFi and it automatically connects but on the N5 I need to have it in persistent mode, turn the screen on and then wait a little while for it to connect. Sometimes it doesn't connect so have to manually turn on the WiFi. Was expecting it to work exactly how it did with the N4 and not need persistent mode to be able to pick up. If I turn off persistent mode it doesn't connect automatically even when turning on the screen or is hit and miss.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] zu0ke:
Again, thank you for the fast response.

I truly appreciate such a nice application and developer.

Battery Mix seems to simply measure and record CPU usage of all applications working.

Thus, it seems that Smart Wifi Toggler uses more CPU power or cycles than Y5.

OK. I set minimum interval at 60.

Well, the physical location of cells and Wifi spots are almost fixed, we usually do not need to check new cells within a certain period.

So, how about make an option to disable the check so that the phone never consumes battery.

For that case, manual checking button would be helpful instead.

By the way, will 'Run in persistent mode' consume less battery?

To which should we set, On or Off, in terms of battery consumption?
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
The interval is not just for checking for new cells, it's also for recognizing existing cells and changes in their signal strength.

Running the app in foreground mode will stop it from getting killed. If it has any battery impact, I think it would be very minimal.
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
I don't have a Kit Kat test device to test this on.

If you're experiencing different behavior on Kit Kat, it would be helpful if you can share some logs showing this behavior. If there is an OS version related problem, I'll investigate it.

WIFI Hopper

Hi,

I have a question about the WIFI Hopper.

Mainly about how it works and battery impact.

In the option it says scan ever x minutes for a stronger wifi.

1 Does it force android to do a scan and than calculates for a stronger wifi hitting the battery.

2 or does it just make a calculation of the known wifi strength every x minutes at that moment in android OS and forces to hop if a stronger one is found?

And will it also do a scan for a better wifi even if the signal already is very strong or only when the wifi signal is getting weaker/ is weaker. Since it shouldn't have to look for a stronger signal if the signal is still very strong.

Also would be nice to enable / disable the hopper per access point.

Like the app :good:
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
Yes it has to scan every time it needs to look for a stronger hot spot. There's no way around that. It will scan even when connected to a strong hot spot. It would make sense to avoid scanning if the signal is pretty good, I agree.
[Android Apps and Games] spide3:
nice idea .... i will test it for i wile i think its will help me allot.
[Android Apps and Games] sergej_7:
how often is this app checking location? on wifi-matic the user defines the check-intervall. as i experienced wifi is only checked after i turn on the display is that correct?
[Android Apps and Games] sebouh00:
The app listens for cell and network-signal updates. This happens quite frequently, but at virtually zero cost. It's information already available and doesn't need to 'activate' anything to gather it (like GPS, etc.).

If the device is alseep, these checks will stop to preserve battery (and avoid waking up the device). In this case, you can schedule checks at regular intervals via the Periodic WiFi Check screen.
