[APP] WifiNotify

Hello!
I have programmed an app for my own usage that I want to share.
It's simply a sticky notification showing wifi state (including SSID and other information if connected) and also if clicked, it changes wifi state.
Hope you find it useful!
You can install it from the Amazon Appstore or downloading the attached apk.
Changelog:
Version 2: Now shows an icon in status bar when wifi is on (connected or not)
Some more info.
Version 3: Auto update (on/off and time interval configurable), icon when wifi on configurable, text color and info in notification configurable, bugfixes.

I like it, it does exactly what it says it does. The only thing I could have wished that it did was have some type of way to enter the wifi settings menu when clicked instead of disabling wifi. I haven't found a good shortcut for this yet, as I use two different APs in my house (depending on which area of the house) and Android always connects to the last used one rather then the strongest connection, so I always have to go through and change it manually.
Otherwise, anyone looking for a quick way to check your AP and enable/disable wifi without an extra widget, this is definitely a cool, simple and lightweight app to do so.

It's good to know you find it useful.
About accessing wifi settings quickly, you can create a direct shortcut if you use ADW launcher or LaucherPro (I don't know if other launchers have this feature); you have to create a shortcut and then select Activities. In the list that will show up, you can select the settings app and inside it, wifi settings.

Icon in Systray would be nice, so u can see that WiFi is active (but not connectecd to a network)

Yes I did, however a few things..
I feel the notification bar should also display Connection Speed, Signal Strength in DB with the option to go to connection settings..
Thanks..

i definitely agree. there aren't really any good widgets that show this information, and it is quite useful, in addition to the AP name. if this could be added, it would be near perfect.

Thanks for the feedback.
I agree, that info may be useful.
I'll try to show it in the notification.

how can I uninstall it from my HTC Desire HD. I use exented controls and have now conflicts when I tab airplane mode with exented controls and then return to normal mode , I have no more network connection

You can uninstall it like any other application. It should appear in the list of installed programs.
Anyway I don't understand your problem. Do you receive any errors? This application has nothing to do with your network connection... it only shows wifi state and changes its state but doesn't touch anything else.

I think this would be a great improve to your app.
Whats the status?
Thanks great app btw

Sorry for the lack of news.
I have modified it a little bit.
Now it shows an icon when wifi is on (connected or not) and shows more info.
To show info like network speed I need to make it update every X seconds.
I don't like this very much because that way it lost the simplicity.
Anyway I'm trying to make it configurable so you can set it the way you like (Just starting with Android programming )
This is the actual version (no config nor auto update): http://db.tt/dX8m7ao

Like the new configuration options and the infos (IP and bitrate), too bad the notification icon stays always in the status bar when co
nected to an AP; I think the previous behaviour was better, but it's my opinion.
Hope to see other improvement.

I get force close, when I try to start the app, by enabling wifi.
I used to use it on my desire with froyo, and it worked well (used the first release).
Now I installed gingerbread from leedroid, and installed the new version and I get force close. Reinstalled and still force close.
Any suggestions?
btw: really nice app!

I haven't tested it in gingerbread.
I'll try to test it and fix the problem.
Thanks!

GPS Does not lock and icon disapear

Hi all.
I'm sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, I could not find....
I am very scared about this bug, do I need to change the phone ?
This i what happens :
When I start google maps, I can't get a lock: the blinking GPS icons appears for 1 second, then disapear, then come back for one second, the disapear for ever.
I don't know what to do... please, help !

Wireless Location and GPS enabled?
Menu -> Settings -> Location & Security

Yes of course

Use an app other than google maps to init your gps. Try GPS Test from the market.
GMaps is known to "give up" if the gps doesn't get a quick fix with the nexus s.

Tried GPS Test... Same result

FYI, this is definitely a hardware failure. I had my phone changed. So if you have the same trouble, you should do the same !

[GUIDE] GPS Fix for the GB Leak for the G2x

So, after installing the GB Leak, I noticed that GPS was hosed. I was able to resolve this and get locks again by following the steps below. (This has also been confirmed by Atantian that it fixes GPS when going from the GB leak back down to 2.2.2)
dial 1809#*999#
Scroll down to GPS Test
Check Use Extended Conf File (this will be for gps.conf in /data/gps which I will include with the Bionix 2 release)
Click System Settings
Check Use XTRAS
Click SUPL Setting
Click SLP Server Setting
Here, you can test for best results. I am using the Spirent server
Hit back x3
Click Get Position
Hit Menu
Click Settings
Session Type> Single Fix
Oper Mode > MS-Based
Hit Back
Go outside in a clear view
Hit Menu
Hit Start.
Let it do its thing for 10-15...
You should be good to go.
Again, for SLP server, test each one out.
Once done, you can grab GPS Test from the market and should have instant locks.

Thanks Again,
Followed the instructions worked perfect.
I went from Stock > CM7 > Stock and my GPS would take forever to lock once back on my stock ROM.
I found Spirent option to be the best and insta locked 5 Satallites. (Checked via gps check application)
Confirmed 2.3GB to 2.2 Froyo works to fix GPS
Thanks Again!
TW / Krylon you are appreciated

Works on cm7?

Yes, it should. I went from stock to CM7 and the Gingerbread messed my GPS up. I went back to stock and the GPS was still messed up. I then followed Krylons instructions and it fixed the issue.
If you are on CM7 - try it and tell us if it works. - you can always do it again and go back to Tmobile Sats if it doesnt work.
I tested the 2.3CM7 > 2.2stock I volunteer you for the CM7 Test lol =p

Mine didn't work with the Spirent server after 15 minutes, now I am trying the T-mobile server.
EDIT: Didn't work with T-mobile server... Now I will try the last one...
EDIT 2: No server worked for me. I wonder what I am doing wrong. I am on the GB leak rom. When I press menu+start and let it sit for 15 minutes outside on a balcony, I come back to it and everything is still solid 0's and google maps still won't lock a signal...
EDIT 3: I think you missed a step. Before selecting "Get position" I selected Apply for Setting Values and things look like they are working in the test.
EDIT 4: I still can't get an accurate fix. The closest I have got is 96m. I get anywhere between that and 12,000m.

My GPS has been totally hosed since trying the GB leak and reverting back to 2.2.2, so I will give this a try! Thanks.

How long should it be saying "ussd code running" before it comes up with the other screens? Waited 5 minutes and did a battery pull

It shouldn't. Its not a ussd code. You're entering it wrong.

This is giving me improved accuracy; however, when I attempt to get driving navigation from google maps, it stalls on "searching for gps" and can never get an accurate enough lock to function.
Again, I went from stock to GB leak and am still on GB leak.
EDIT: I changed the Session Type to Tracking instead of Single fix and now it locks 10+ satellites instead of 3. I will take this on a navigation run and report back.

When I enter the code itself, nothing happens. If I hit the send key, it then pulls up the USSD message. For what it's worth though, the CheckIn code still works no problem

Did you freeze any LG services i.e. com.lge.hiddenmenu?
Another way in is to use the app.Anycut to make a shortcut.

Didn't freeze anything. However, I cannot seem to find the lge.hiddenmenu on my phone. I would presume it to be in /system/app?
EDIT:
Did a full search with Root Explorer and couldn't find it. Could you send the APK to me at [email protected] along with the correct folder it should be in? TIA

This deff works! In one try..instant lock

Confirmed not working on gb leak.
The phone will find and utilize gps just fine.
However, you restart the phone, you have to perform the test over again

lock is only half the equation.
Getting an accurate enough lock to use google navigation is the tough part. Well, that and getting it to lock that accurate again after a restart.

I tried I keep getting ussd code im on cm7

[Q] GPS can't find location unlocked htc one x

I have an unlocked htc one x and when I try to find my location using maps, it says current location temporarily unavailable. I have the location services turned on in settings and the GPS satellites option, but it still doesn't work. If anyone could help, that be great. Thanks!

Did you try rebooting
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Are you using a different ROM other than stock? Are you outside or by a window? Did you try another app? Need a bit more details please.

Try the Play Store app GPS Status & Toolbox. Install and open the app. On the app's main screen, you will seen on the circular display, "dots" for any satellites that the phone can track. Below the circular display is a bar graph, with each bar depicting the signal strength for each satellite (should turn green when locked). Let the app do its thing for at least 5 minutes and see if any satellites are being tracked, and how good the signal strength is.
Also, its not clear from the OP:
1) Are you trying to get the GPS to lock on outside? This is the best condition (especially for a first time lock), with a clear view of a majority of the sky. Let it sit for at least 5 minutes.
2) Did it ever work, and now it stopped working?
3) Any recent change, like RUU, or flashed a new radio?

I was outside when I tried to find my location, and I've only tried with google maps. I downloaded the GPS status app and after running, all it says is it can't find my location. I also didn't have any network Internet after unlocking the phone, but I changed the APN settings to be compatible with tmobile if that helps any with this problem.

Try turning update through network and WiFi off. See if it will locate then turn it back on.

Any dots on the circular display of the app, or any bars appearing on the bar graph?
If the GPS is working at all, it should at least be able to track some satellites, even if its not strong enough signal to get a location lock.
If nothing at all, it suggests a hardware issue, or the OS not being able to communicate with the GPS for some reason.
Also, I asked before but didn't get an answer: has it ever worked before, and just stopped working? Or never worked, newly purchased phone, etc.

There was one green circle but no bar graph below. And it hasn't worked since I've had the phone. I purchased it from a friend who upgraded and didn't need the phone.

also have the same issue, my gps doesnt lock to sattallites at all.
Its unlocked and on ARHD 21.0. Sometimes it finds one sattallite (no lock though) so i'm guesing that actual gps hardware isn't dead.

Ulefone T1 GPS(MTK) Problem

Hey Guys!
I hope it's the right place for the question but there is no Ulefone forum....
I really need help. I have typical mtk problem with my Ulefone T1: fix is lost every few seconds, jumping from road to road while navigation etc.
I tried every tutorial and read every forum! (GPS.conf optimized, epo update, every optimization app,.....) But nothing really helped.
Only following tutorial helped for short time:
1. Turn GPS off on your phone.
2. Open Root Explorer and find the mtkgps.dat file in /data or /data/misc
3. Delete mtkgps.dat
4. Reboot phone
5. Open Mobileuncle Tools
6. Tap on 'Engineer Mode'
7. Tap on 'Engineer Mode (MTK)'
8. Scroll across to 'Location'
9. Tap on 'Location Based Service'
10. Tap on 'AGPS' and then make sure 'A-GPS On/Off' is checked
11. Tap on 'EPO' and then make sure 'Enable EPO' is checked
12. Swipe down (notification bar) and turn GPS on
13. Hit back and then tap 'YGPS'
14. Wait until you get position lock (mine took about 6 seconds).
15. This process should create a new mtkgps.dat file.
16. Hit home button and open GPS Test.
17. You should get a position lock reasonably quickly.
After this tutorial gps is perfect for short time, but after few minutes or if I restart navigation it's same like before.
I made a short video where you can perfectly see my problem:
https://vimeo.com/246691013
I hope anyone has an idea,I'm really frustrated.....
Why do I have perfekt GPS for short time? What does change my mtkgps.data file ?!
Thank you !!!
Ksa

I have the same problem, I think it could be that GPS is like turning off and on constantly, maybe for saving battery? Because it goes well until it says is turned off, the the problems starts....

Yes maybe Android system is to aggressive. Good idea. Im deactivate 'battery optimization' in battery settings for several apps and before navigating I will do the tutorial again and set battery from 'normal' mode to sports mode.
I will report

Keep me posted, I am not rooting yet because I cannot use an app bank even with magisk, but I do need more the GPS and waze so I will do it if it fixes the problem....
If I found something else I will keep posted here.
Can you tell me what have you already done?
Thanks in advance

Okay, you can try magiks hide mode for your banking app. I get just a notice in my bank app that i have rooted ?
I tried:
1. Every gps optimization app, with agps data update, epo update, gps.conf update.
2. Manually optimize gps.conf, epo data's.
3. Different Settings in location based service(engineer mode), ypgs..
4. This tutorial.
(5. Because of rooting I wiped complete phone.)
State now: optimized gps.conf in system/etc, new epo.data in data/misc/gps(but no improveness)
After this I tried the tutorial I already posted and I got the first success, but only for few minutes....
I don't think that gps hardware is bad or broken, I am sure it's a software problem (otherwise I wouldn't get this nice GPS for few minutes after deleting mtkdata....)

Magisk hide doesn't work with my bank app [emoji852]️
Yes I am sure also that has something to do with software and mtk processors.
Thanks for the procedure, I did so far all the tutorials without rooting. In engeneiring mode I cannot see epo options, I assume is because I have no rooting yet.
We will inform about this, I am writing also to ulefone. Let's see if they response.
Best regards, I hope we find some solution, beside this, the phone is good for the price.

Yeah I really like the phone! I'm looking forward for any stable custom roms! Even the camera makes really good photos, even at night with HDR (footej camera pro version) if the camera focused...

I noticed if I let YGPS open there I have nice and stable gps fixes! but if I switch to navigation gps fixes lost and not stable.
If I switch back fixes are good and stable haha
I really don't know what the problem is...
P.s.: I think it is worth to root the phone, because in ygps I got more fixes after I delete mtkgps.data and restart phone. But it's not the centre of the problem...
There is first lineageos but not stable and to buggy for daily use but maybe if I have time I make a full backup and try this ROM... Only to know if the problem is solved with other rom

The satellites are there, they are just in red because for some reason the phone can't connect with them while you are in movement, it keeps loosing signal and recover.
I didn't root it yet because I don't think it fixes so far. But if we find solution like that I will do so with no hesitation (I hate all the ads also)...

Yes same like me, now it s a bit better after the processes but the longer navigation is running the worser the GPS signal is becoming.
I think it's a combination between battery saving and wrong settings in our areas...
Sometimes in works perfectly for few minutes...
To look after app you don't need root. Go to battery settings and the the three points in right corner. There search for "mtk ntp service".
I read in a thread about the same problem of elephone p8 that deactivate battery optimization for this could help

Select Delete for every mode
Go to the AGPS Tab
Disable AGPS (uncheck [Enable A-GPS]
Go Back to the GPS Tab
Enable GPS [Button GPS caption must be now GPS on]
Go to the outside (clear view of the sky is needed)
Got to the view tab
wait until you see at least 6 - 10 sattelites in green state
Go to the GPS Tab
Stop GPS [Button GPS caption must be GPS(off)]
Press the REF POSITION Button
Click on APPLY LAST LOCATION
Go to the AGPS Tab
Enable A-GPS (enable A-GPS must be checked)
Go to the GPS Tab
Start GPS [Button GPS caption must be now GPS (on)]
close MTK Engineering Mode
Disable Wi-Fi!
Then I updated epo files and deleted mtkgps.data with app "epo updater"(apk not from playstore)
Then I copied epo files to /data/misc/gps
Then I put optimized gps.conf data in /system/etc
Restart phone
That's it.
I opened Google maps and it takes a short while to finde location(better don't drive at start)
For the first few minutes it was not stable but then the signal is quite better and it's possible to navigate! Only few jumps for short time!
But if I start Waze i jump from road to road even after several minutes, but on Google maps it was okay, not perfect but okay( I think there are still some software probs but it's no secret that mtk gps isn't the best)
But the most important: i could navigate
I don't know why only Google maps but I will try other apps, and we will see how long navigation will be possible until the GPS will be worser again
I cant attach the GPS.conf and APK file, but when you need it, I will send you the files
And I will update, how stable the GPS is now.
We are on a good way!!?

Hi, do you get it work in waze? And is still working with maps? I bought it a nice commuter Otterbox case (best to resist drops and falls) for iPhone 7 plus and it works almost perfect (just the jack is missing but you can replace it with some Bluetooth device or a USB-c headphones, the port for charging fits perfect and when you know the buttons you can preset without problem)
