I am in the security business and I found an app that can log all the Bluetooth and WiFi devices that have been in the area. This helps us track who has been in and out of the building and at what time (very big advantage). The app is called Radar Bluetooth WIFI detector and can be downloaded here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.colony.radarlite

Hi!
I'm using my SGS with wifi tethering to have internet with my transformer. The problem is that the wifi ssid from my sgs is tracked by google and typically the transformer thinks this net is at my home or at work. It shows a wrong static position, even if I'm hundreds of kilometers away of this point.
I like this wifi position determination but it seems that this mobile wifi ssid destroys the complete feature.
Is there any possibility to tell google/android that this wifi net isn't static and can't give position information?
Can I configure somehow the SGS to get a hidden wifi net which isn't used by google's position determination? Out of the box I think android does not support hidden wifis (tethering and client).
Hope there are some ideas...
thx
Why don't you change the ssid from your wifi tether?

Ähhhmmm...
That won't help since google will also use the new ssid for position determination after some time. thats the way google's position data works. they are logging ssids and mac from wifi nets and if someone has no gps these info can be taken to find the current location.
The problem is: If one wifi is moving with you, it can't display your position.
Hi, I'm new to android, but tech aware. Not sure if this is android or Sensation (I'm on XE with thanks to Mike1986).
I use WiFi a lot, but also wander. I tend to forget to turn off the WiFi when I leave work/home/pub - not top of my list!
Whilst I'm wandering I often try to look something up, when WiFi's scanning, and wait for ages.
Shouldn't the 'system' failover to phone data access if WiFi is not connected - or at least ask me for an action?
As I say, I'm new to this - apologies.
Thanks
yes, it should fail over to data if it is not connected to WIFI.
Correct. If you have wifi enabled, leave the area like to work that has no wifi, then yes mobile network takes over.
But I go one above and use Llama location profiles. Where depending where are based on the conditions you set, you can trigger actions using this app. The app is free in the market and is an invaluable tool for me when I am leaving work, heading to the car with my bt and gets connected because I set my condition to look for a bt device if I am no longer connected to my wifi at work.
Gotta love Android
Hmmm. That's not the behaviour I'm seeing. Just thought it was an irritation. Should failover be auto or is there settings (or apps) to control it? I like the concept of profiles ... But you've got to be more organised than I!

It's auto. Like my n1, whenever I am in range of a known wifi connection, the wifi will auto connect if wifi was left on from the prior location or out of range and back again, if that makes sense lol...
So if you go out and are out of wifi range, and you manually turn off wifi, then no wifi won't auto connect of course.
Yes, that all works fine - when I'm wandering in and out of wifi zones. My gripe/question is :
When I am out of wifi range, and wifi is on (scanning), should the phone fall back to the phone data connection? The behaviour I see is that connecting just hangs until I turn wifi off.
Thanks
Hi guys, please suggest the direction to find an answer.
Use MK809IV in the Car pc project and everything looks good except initial time issue when there is no wifi connection to sync time (tethering is not always a solution here (no coverage or wife driving)).
I use one of the qstarz bluetooth GPS and Bluetooth GPS app to connect it to the system. The app shows on connect 1917 year every time but the month, date and time is correct.
The other app I use for navigation (igo) shows fix but always with 0 satellite in view.
The same GPS and the app on a couple of others android phones works well.
My WiFi is a FREE application for anyone who wants to tap onto your nearest WiFi connection at ease. An added feature that My WiFi provides is a speed test which allow users to test their connecting speed range so that they are able to gain access to the Internet through a secured and flexible manner
Search "My WiFi" on Google Play and get the orange logo app
I am new here so I shall upgrade my account to devBD later
===== Key Features =====
Free WiFi Connection
No matter where you are, My WiFi is an all-inclusive WiFi Finder application that will be able to detect the nearest WiFi signal that is available to you, allowing you to tap onto that Free WiFi Network and surf the net as you wish for FREE. What’s more, that particular WiFi connection will be stored in your mobile device for future use if you are out and about.
WiFi Speed Test
Upon connection of a WiFi, users are able to do a simple test of how strong or weak that connection is. You will be able to see metrics such as download and upload speeds for that connected network, Furthermore, My WiFi is smart enough to recommend suggestions to you pertaining to the current online activities that you are able to do with the current network e.g. messaging, gaming, or video streaming.
Secured WiFi Connection
During the Speed test process, My WiFi is also intelligent enough to detect and deter any SSLStep attach or WiFi interception or WiFi Hijacking that may compromise the security of your phone and the contents within it. My WiFi will alert you immediately if a specific network has such an issue and prompt you to disconnect from it.
HotSpot Detection
Once the connection is successful, you are able to view and monitor the quality of your WiFi. If your personal WiFi is turned on, there will be many users that are out to connect to your hotspot, which means you need to do a password change for your current router to improve the security of your WiFi and keep the connection consistent and fast without having to compromise the speed.
Users in India & Brazil are Supported, other countries are on the go.

Not sure quite where to ask this, and searching for apps hasn't turned up exactly what I want. I just need something to provide an ongoing log (ideally with a graphical view too) of the times that my phone is properly connected to WiFi (and ideally to which SSID) and the times it is only connected to mobile data.
I think I'm getting intermittent dropouts on my home wi-fi on some devices, but I need to set up some logging over time to get more specific details. Just a nice coloured graph of wifi vs. mobile data connections over a week or two of testing would be perfect.
