FAQ

Is the app using GPS hardware?

No and yes...

Stock app is not using GPS hardware at all (in fact GPS access permision is not required).

Geolocalization module, not installed by default, allows users to geolocalize cells and uses GPS in order to show your position.

Is the app sharing the identifiers of the cells or wifi networks at which I connect?

No and yes...

Stock app is not sharing your position or the cells in which you are connected at all.

Geolocalization module, not installed by default, uses the API provided by OpenCellID.

OpenCellID is the world's largest collaborative community project that collects GPS positions of cell tower.

When we read the OpenCellID database we need to send (anonymously) the identifier of the current cell and your GPS position, in order to contribute with the project.

If you install the geolocalization module you will receive a confirmation dialog before share your data the first time.

What does the red number next to some cells in the main view?

There are the number of times that you have connected with this cell and cannot connect with a wifi network.

When the number reaches the maximum number of connection errors (that is configurable for PRO version), the cell will become red.

What does the blue bar that appears sometimes at left to a cell in the main view?

The blue bar located at the left of a cell in the main view identifies the cell at which you are connected, and is only show when you are connected to a wifi network.

I have configured a new wifi network in my device, but app says that the near cells are red or black and will not turn on the wifi.

If the app marks a cell as red (or black) is because it has not been possible to establish a wifi connection there.

You can force the connection activating the wifi manually.

App will detect the connection and automatically turn on the wifi on these occasions.

Wifi is automatically set to on when I enter in a green cell, even if phone is in airplane mode.

You can configure app to do not manage wifi settings if airplane mode is active.

My phone is not rooted. I can use this app?

Yes

Why are root permissions used?

If provided, root permissions are used to set the <I>supplicant scan interval</I>, that is a system parameter and cannot be modified by normal users.

When wifi is on, system searches for networks from time to time, and that time is specified by the <I>supplicant scan interval</I> parameter.

The app need many permissions. Why?

The permissions we use are needed for:

Get accounts: To validate the PRO key.

Internet: To show Ads (only in free version).

Get and set network and wifi states: To set wifi and mobile data state (is the main goal of the app).

Read and write sdcard: To backup and restore backups.

Receive boot completed: To start the app in boot time, if configured.

Superuser: To update supplicant scan interval if configured.

ADDITIONAL MODULES

GEOLOCALIZATION (optional)

It allows to geolocalize cells.

Geolocalization is based in the OpenCellID Project, that provides geolocalization for cell towers.

In some cases the geolocalization is not accurate, due that it depends from the measures provided by the users.

Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryosoftware.wirelessmanager.geolocalization

RANKING (optional)

It allows to use the app like a game.

The goal of the app is to discover cell towers (achievements) and to visit know cell towers (leaderboard).

Hi.

Should I uninstall previous version before installing this one (totally rewritten)?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Deleted member 267841:
No if you are in the previous market version.

If you are in a 2.0 beta version you probably need to remove app data after install new version (or uninstall)
[Android Apps and Games] shaggydiamond:
very nice app, good design and very user friendly.:good:

One problem, if you see the list of wifi related events. The time durations are shown in minutes, but when you click each setting it changes to seconds.

Not sure if what I'm saying makes sense, but have a look.
[Android Apps and Games] exadeci:
The idea and the app are really nice but the color system is a pain to remember an idea would be, while keeping colors on squares:

Green > Known wifi zone

Yellow > Possible wifi zone

Red > Wifi connection issue

Black > No wifi zone

Personally I would like to be able to configure it so I have only 2 zones ON (Green) OFF (Any other zone)

It says that the code is not valid
[Android Apps and Games] Ditchmond:
Thank you! Great app. Tried the promo code but doesn't seem to be working
[Android Apps and Games] shaggydiamond:
People from XDA can use the app PRO features without pay via a PROMO code (this PROMO code allows to access all PRO features but shows Ads).

In order to redeem it do this:

1) Enter app

2) Open app settings

3) Go the page down and click (7 times) in the last preference (the preference that shows the app version) [the key only works for version 1.2.16 and higher]

4) In the dialog enter the key above (none of your accounts are shared or sent to our servers)

5) Press "accept" button

Code:

Nice app. Price is very reasonable. There are some grammar issues in the intro. Other than that I hope it will bring some more juice to my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] narjo:
Hello,

I am using an android device (HTC Desire X) without sim-card, so I have no phone network. With the previous versions of your app I could manage the wifi of this device just fine. With the new version, it seems that the app no longer manages the wifi since there is no cell tower to connect to.

Is there any way to get this working?

thanks in advance :)
[Android Apps and Games] carols:
i just installed this on my galaxy note 3 and it locked my phone i had to remove the battery and restart my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] Deleted member 267841:
I doubt it's the fault of the app
[Android Apps and Games] Deleted member 267841:
Sorry for the grammar issues. I'm not English.

The app needs to learn about you for some days. After that, I think you can save some battery :)

New version requires phone capabilities.

I post previous version here, for those that are using in a no phone device.
[Android Apps and Games] Deleted member 267841:
Just updated in the Play Store.

Really not a work bug, only a typo when printing value duration :)

Thanks for the report!
[Android Apps and Games] narjo:
OK, thanks for the answer :)
[Android Apps and Games] carols:
so my phone was working perfectly well before i installed this app then my phone locked and i could

not do anything with it so i had to remove the battery and restart my phone.It is not rocket science

to work out that it must be your app as i never had the problem before i installed it.
[Android Apps and Games] Deleted member 267841:
the most probable is a casual issue.

if not, we have probably discovered a bug of android that allows to lock phones without get security permissions or anything relevant and i need to write google in order to receive my 10.000 USD gift :LOL:
[Android Apps and Games] :
Like the good ideas... 1 and 2 are in the new release: 2.2.86

3. I don't understand. sorry! can you explain a bit more?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Android 4.4.x as issues with the wifi. you can do a simple search at xda forum, and affects (more or less) to all the devices (but I think only AOSP and derivates).

This is not an app issue.

I'm searching for a real solution, not a patch that solves the issue partially. If I capable to develop a real workaround for the problem, I will add, but I can't add a code that don't solves the issue. Sorry!
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
Bartito

I think he means, that if you go to Connections History clicking on any of the items in your history does nothing and so you cant go "deeper" into any problem. For example I have a Connection Ended icon on my connections history that I want to know more about as i was in my work connected to my work wifi, so i want to know more about WHY it disconnected.
[Android Apps and Games] :
sorry, but can't get more info for the events.
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
Ok - thanks for the quick reply!

I have noticed some strange behaviour with the "event tracker" (not sure what you want to call it) that tells you whether or not hte app is about to trigger an event soon based on the tower you are on. Sometimes it will say something like "wifi will be activated at xx xxx xx" and then a time so many many hours later in the day. Has anyone noticed this?

2.2.86 is out now. Can i make a suggestion to the changelog?

At the moment it says "no disabling the wifi instantly when connected to a red or black cell and the user activates it"

What I think may be better is: "When the user turns on wifi when connected to a red or black cell the app will now not deactivate the toggle"

As for the ability to expand and collapse wifi networks, is it possible for them to remain collapsed/expanded? If you collapse them for example, go to connections history and return to the main menu they are expanded once again
[Android Apps and Games] fredsky2:
Hey! Awesome to have a develper commited to his software like this :good:

about point 3, i meant that when touch and holding on a cell tower that has a red square and a white number on it (lets say 4, with the intense red background), a menu pops in with the option "clear connection errors" but i can't see what went wrong on those 4 times

about point 2 im sure there are other ways to have "my choice to toggle wifi on/off assured" but those involves some extra work that doesnt seems to fit with the app mission wich afaik is to "do cool wireless stuff automatically to save battery".

*If it was possible that the app checks if wireless/data was manually toggled and respect that (like "always keep user choice for 10 minutes or until cell changes"), this would take the app to a whole new level (in my everyday use, i dont even remember that i have the app, no statusbar, no icons, no background on most; and i feel this is the right way imho)

in all, those are just my ideas to improve the app, glad to hear you liked them!

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
Great suggestions.

I still need to understand why the app is constantly turning my data on when i am connected to wifi. I have to manually turn data off even though i have it set up so the app does that for me. I think when the wifi connects to a new Green Tower The app activates data again but it does it permanently.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Really strange. The app uses the Alarm interface to wake the device at time. Pls, can you generate a logcat after you've noticed that the issue?

Thanks for the translation suggestion.

2.2.87 (just published) retains the collapsed/expanded networks when you change the active tab.
[Android Apps and Games] :
the "connection errors" are the number of times that you've connected to the cell network without establish a wifi connection, and is represented by the number in the red square.

when you connect to a cell tower a determined number of times without establish a wifi connection, the cell tower color changes from green to red/black.

since 2.2.86, when you manually enable wifi, the service disabled it automatically after the configured time (2 minutes by default)

thanks for your comments :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
really strange due to the app is only enabling/disabling the mobile data in 2 moments:

- when airplane mode state changes

- when a wifi connection is established or ended

also, you can configure to don't toggle mobile data when wifi connection established/ended

but if really is a issue, pls, post a logcat.

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
ok I will look into logcat (i have no experience of this, what app do people use?)

Does anyone have an issue like this whereby the data is not turned off when wifi is connected?
[Android Apps and Games] :
you can use alogcat or alogrec or adb (if you familiar)
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
Bartito

Some language suggestions:

Connections History:

No Events Planned Over Wifi

Alternative: No events are scheduled to be triggered by the App

Backup and Restore:

Create backup from cell towers and settings

Alternative: Backup all cell tower and app settings

Settings-Pause if wifi state disabled:

Disables Scheduler when user deactivates the wifi (cannot detect if wifi deactivated manually by user or by other app)

Alternative: Wifi Scheduler is suspended upon manually disabling the Wifi toggle (by the user or by another app)

Settings-Restart on wifi activation:

Reqactivate the scheduler when user activates the wifi hardware (cannot detect if wifi deactivated manually by user or by other app)

Alternative: Wifi Scheduler is activated upon manually enabling the Wifi toggle (by the user or by another app)

Tasker integration?

Hi, loving the app, particularly the battery savings... :)

When I use navigation though, Google Maps always prompts me that navigation works better if wifi is on... what I'd like to do is have WifiScheduler off when Maps is running, then re-enabled when the profile ends.

Ideally I'd use Tasker, but WifiScheduler is not integrated into Tasker at the moment I don't believe - is that on your roadmap?

Anyone have any other suggestions on getting around the "Nav is better with wifi on" popup?
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
Not sure but you could use Llama to turn the app off when maps is on because that pop up is annoying. I have had a look for an Xposed mod to disable it but so far no luck...

OOOH I found this for Tasker.....may help you.

Hi

I love the app except it's stopped working recently. I get the following error message: "Disconnected from phone network".

I have mobile data disabled (wifi at home and work don't need it on commute).

I'm needing to manually enable wi-fi when I get to work or home as it's not automatically turning wifi back on again.

thanks

mentalinc
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
I do get that error on occassion but i dont think it stops me from connecting to my wifi areas.

I have noticed that the app crashes on me every time I commute on the train (which is about 35 minutes or so) - i get the crash message Wifi Scehduler has stopped working (although it still runs ok, ie the icon is still present)??
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
bartito

are you still moderating this thread? you have been very quiet recently!

would be great to be able to change the time the wifi is activated by the app in a green cell tower to less than 15 minutes, which is the minimum at the moment...
[Android Apps and Games] :
Sorry,

I'm in holidays until September 15... :)

15 minutes? Sure?
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
Yes I am sure, if you manually type in 10 minutes for example, it defaults to the highest amount (265 minutes or something equally as high)

I find that because I move between two offices that are near each other and with different WIFIs I need the time to be lower so I dont have to wait too long before the app switches wifi back on again - 15 minutes is too long.

PS - sorry i dont mean to bother you on your holidays, this can wait!!
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
Another issue:

I have mentioned the fact that this app "crashes" when I am on a train, but I have found that this happens as well when i am travelling by car at speed. It seems to struggle (this is a guess on my part) on changing cells very quickly, which would explain why it crashes when you are travelling at great speed.
[Android Apps and Games] :
can you send a logcat?, pls
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
i am not familiar with logcat - i had it installed but it seems you need to start recording at some point? maybe i will do that for my trip home tonight to see if it crashes again on the train.

I installed CatLog - it seems to have a record function. I will record that (Verbose (?)) and see if it crashes.

wifi scheduler for Blutooth

Would it be possible to make this app do the same for Bluetooth? i love this app and would love of the same concepts could work for bluetooth
[Android Apps and Games] anmar21:
Hi!

I love this app, I've bought the pro version and I'm very satisfied.

I would like to know if there is a way to activate the Wi-Fi only when I'm home or at work for example? I don't want the Wi-Fi turning on on new places.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Sorry, but the answer is not

But there exist a option to convert new cells to black.

Note: I'm planning a new release with a few updates but my PC crashes and I need to buy other in 1-2 weeks. Sorry
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
What PC are you ending up with? Am looking to get myself a new one too (laptop)

looking forward to your new update too.!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Not one special.

A i7 with 6-8 GB of RAM and 1 TB of disk (and probably a 64-128 GB of SSD)

Probably available at the end of this week or at the next start.
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
sounds like a sweet machine, i am looking for the same pretty much. Good luck with your purchase
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
any luck with your new PC and the new update of Wifi Scheduler?
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
bump?
[Android Apps and Games] :
sorry, no new pc until next week :/
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
man, that would drive me crazy! good luck with it.

In the meantime - some issues I have been experiencing...

When in a green cell area my phone does not activate the wifi unless my screen is "awake" - despite my wifi setting being set to "Always On" when asleep. I wish there was more history in the "Connections History" to say that a connection to wifi was attempted at XX O Clock but failed for whatever reason, or if none was made...
[Android Apps and Games] :
PC is here and configured...

I restart working on this app :)
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:

Material design take some hint also with wifi smart Toggle
[Android Apps and Games] :
Appreciate your comments, and also your coffee :)

I think WirelessManager is working so good now.

I have some ideas to improve it, but busy with other apps for some days.
[Android Apps and Games] spupuz:
i was used to with "smart wifi toggle" and some option working methodology isn't too much clear in wifi scheduler.
[Android Apps and Games] :
like what?
[Android Apps and Games] spupuz:
when it is putting on wifi and when off.

there where some more functionalities like barometer (imagine to be in a building with 10 floors) to help to not activate wifi if you are at ground 0.

Also there where some added fuctionalities that permit to leave the phone unlocked whe connected to a specific ssid.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
not sure about the barometer query (maybe this can be done with Tasker) but the other function you refer to I manage with an Xposed mod called "No Lock Home for 4.4+" - it works brilliantly.

I think the current app works pretty well as it is - i still have some issues with the app

1- not firing when my phone is in deep sleep, and

2-that the Wifi reactivation when in green cell tower minimum minutes time is only 15

3-that sometimes mobile data and wifi are "on" simultaneously, despite asking the app to manage it for me.
[Android Apps and Games] spupuz:
i'm on nexus 4 lollip not using xposed anymore sadly :/
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
oooh ouch - you may have jumped the gun a bit there ! Just in case you havent heard that expression before, it means you may have installed it a bit too quickly!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi,

The problem with (1) is due to Android. Isn't triggering the OnPhoneCellChanged event when in Deep Sleep in some phones.

For (2) I need to include more values in the next release.

(3) is not really a big deal, due to there can be "enabled" at the same time but not "on", due to if the wifi is connected the mobile data can't.

Thanks for the comments
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
Thank Bartito

I assumed Android had something to do with the deep sleep. As for the mobile data I know its no big deal, i dont mind it - its just I am anal that way and i hate to see something that isnt operating the way i expect.

Oh yeah off the top of my head one thing i would love to have more development on is the "Connections history" - I find the info there is very minimal, for example when it says "Wifi disabled by app" can it explaain why (such as due to no wifi activity after x minutes, or due to being in a black cell tower for more than x minutes) or something
[Android Apps and Games] :
Android is stopping some internal services when you go to deep sleep, in order to save battery.

App Constantly Crashing

Hi,

So this app is always crashing for me.

(LG G3 D855 rooted running chupa chups lollipop rom)

just thought i should let you know, i have no idea why this is happening.

Thanks for a great app..
[Android Apps and Games] :
Please, try last release.

Is working fine in all my tests with Lollipop.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] spupuz:

[Android Apps and Games] demlanhlung:
Give a try, increase scanning interval to 300s, and save a bit battery.

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] mankvl:
Love the app. Noticed that "Manage mobile data state" don't work some times. If WIFI connected it won't turn off mobile data sometimes but when I reactivate, it turns off it immediately. Maybe some times I have to wait longer for mobile data to turn off?
[Android Apps and Games] :
You're in Lollipop?
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
I still have the issue of my mobile data not turning off, (am still on 4.4.2) - but as bartito mentioned as far as battery consumption is concerned its not a worry.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Yes, this setting is absolutely a placebo, due to Wifi connection is more priority that the mobile data connection and Android never tries to connect using Mobile Data Network if a WiFi connection is established.

In any case, is strange, and I appreciate if you can send a logcat :)

Also, I have removed this setting from the app if you're in Lollipop, due to it requires much permissions and not all users are comfortable with that.

* Sorry for my english...
