GENERAL INFO

INTRODUCTION

Wifi hardware is responsible for much of the battery consumed by modern smartphones.

When wifi is on and there are no active connections, system periodically scans the spectrum looking for a network to connect, which increases consumption.

With this application you can stop worrying about whether you have activated wifi when get home or office or if you have deactivated it when leave off, as the application itself will do it for you.

Some applications allows you to enable or disable wifi depending on your GPS location, it consumes more resources than the wifi itself.

This app, however, uses telephone network to establish its position, which becomes a real and perceptible consumption savings.

CELL TYPES

When your device connects to a phone cell, it search in the app databases for previous connections to the same cell, and assigns a color depending on it.

A cell can pass (dinamically) by the following colors:

NEW

The first time that you connect to a cell.

When you enter in a new cell the app enables the wifi hardware (you can set the time until the activation) and disables after a while (you can also set this time) if no connection established.

GREEN

A wifi connection has been established in the past while your device was connected to the cell.

When you enter in a new cell the app enables the wifi hardware (you can set the time until the activation) and disables after a while (you can also set this time) if no connection established.

YELLOW

A wifi connection has not been established in the past while your device was connected to the cell.

When you enter in a new cell the app enables the wifi hardware (you can set the time until the activation) and disables after a while (you can also set this time) if no connection established.

RED

When is not possible to connect to a wifi network repeatedly (configurable number of times) in a green or yellow cell, it becomes red.

When you enter in a new cell the app disables the wifi hardware (you can configure the time until the deactivation).

BLACK

A black cell is a red cell visited often (you can set the number of visits that are needed to convert a red cell into a black cell).

When you enter in a new cell the app disables the wifi hardware (you can configure the time until the deactivation).

HOW IT WORKS

Depending of the current cell type, app enables or disables the wifi hardware, in order to accept connections or save battery.

You can configure the wifi hardware activation time (after which wifi is disabled) and also the wifi reactivation time (if it is a long time in a cell the app restarts the wifi activation cycle).

TRANSITIONS

A new cell becomes yellow or green depending if is abandoned before a wifi connection was established or not.

A green or yellow cells that is visited often without establish a wifi connection becomes red.

A red cell that is visited several times without establish a wifi connection becomes black.

If wifi connection is established in a red or black cell, it turns green.

ADDITIONAL INFO

If device stablish a connection with a cell and wifi is not enabled for a minimum time (configurable) before leave it, the cell will not be considered.

FORCE WIFI ON / OFF

You can configure app to automatically pause background service when you disable manually the wifi, by example by enter in wifi settings then setting off the correspondent switch.

In this case, the background service doesn't really stops and continues to scanning for cells (and converts not green cells into green cells if a wifi connection is established), but the app doesn't manages the wifi state.

In addition, you can configure app to automatically restart background service scheduler when you manually set wifi on.

OTHER SETTINGS

You can configure several items related to cell or wifi events.

Also you can add a notification to the status bar and view the connections history.
