[APP][2.1+] Wireless Minder

I recently released Wireless Minder on the Play Store and would like your feedback. The short description is that it automatically powers down unused radios and occasionally powers them up to check for a connection. A radio "up periscope" is an analogy I like to use.
There are refinements that I'm planning and surely more that I haven't thought of. It's stable and functional enough that I wanted to get it out there. Knowing me, the longer it sits around the more likely it'll get forgotten
Thanks in advance for your feedback, good or bad. I'll try to incorporate your suggestions and fix any device compatibility issues.

Mod edit: Link that included paid apps removed.

Sounds interesting, but I'll pose this question / scenario:
Say I turn my mobile data [3/4g] off, and use minder to mind to mind mobile data, while wifi is off. If wifi is off and it does its check based on a poll count, when it sees wifi is off, is there anything that will cause it to stay connected? or rather, what's making it stay disabled in that scenario.

The behavior now is that it will try to keep one of the data connections active. If WiFi is connected, and Mobile 3G/4G is selected, it will periodically shut off the Mobile radio. It powers it back up occasionally to check for texts, missed calls, etc.
If there is no WiFi connectivity, it will not shut off the Mobile radio even if the option is selected. Is your preference to periodically shut off the Mobile radio even if there's no WiFi? I could add that option in the Settings. I plan to add a user option to choose how long to keep the Mobile radio active.
Edit: Fixed backwards logic typo

Not to be rude but it looks like a nice app to have but it seems like you need to redesign the UI.
If you know how to code it then ill design it for you and ill send you the PSD or JPEG files so you
can intergrate it into your app. Just let me know. :good:
Neat application.

No offense taken. I have no shame over my lack of graphics arts skills I welcome artwork contributions or any other contributions.

That would be preferable, because there are times when I have neither wifi or 3g connected. You can still get calls / text without mobile data, unless you're using a voip app, like google voice, etc.

Good app. Thanks for sharing. If you plan to release a donation version, take my advice and keep these basic features free to cater to your initial user base.
You should add features like: SSID exception lists (guest, public etc.), configurable minding intervals per module and time of day schedules when minder should scan (no need to scan for car bluetooth while sleeping).
EDIT: And automatic start at boot option.
Maybe also make some of these features part of the donate / pro version.
Cheers,
C.

What you're referring to is disabling Mobile Data which still allows calls/texts to go through. That doesn't save much power since the cellular radio remains on. Wireless Minder completely turns off the cellular radio by using a modified version of Airplane Mode. It's the only switch Android provides to disable the Mobile radio. The side effect of this is of course that calls/texts will not operate when the Mobile radio is turned off.
Would you like an option to periodically check Mobile Data and disable it if there's no cellular service? Searching for service can chew through battery but I'm not sure if disabling Mobile Data will improve that. I'd need to figure out a way to offer both features without confusing people.

I intend to keep the base version free. I've considered releasing a paid Pro version, it depends on how much work I end up having to put into advanced features. I like your idea of having independent timers for each radio as well as a scheduler. I'll put those on the list and add them as soon as I can.
Wireless Minder does auto-start at bootup. Are you asking for a switch to disable that?

As requested, I've added separate check interval settings for WiFi, Bluetooth and Mobile. Just uploaded version 1.04 to the Play Store and it may take a few hours for the listing to be updated. Sorry this took so long. The custom picker control was a PITB.
Next on the list is a user-selectable schedule for Wireless Minder to be active.
LINK

Version 1.05 adds scheduling: choose when Wireless Minder should manage the radios. I've accounted for the corner cases that I could think of such as the start time being later than the stop time (e.g. night owls). I only have so much time to test all the different scenarios so please let me know if you see a problem.
Keep the requests coming!
Edit: I've seen odd behavior that may be related to scheduling with Mobile 3G/4G enabled on Android 4.2+ devices. On those devices, superuser is required to modify airplane mode. What seems to happen is that superuser blocks for a long time then when it releases, a bunch of queued up checking events fire rapidly in succession. It's been a tough one to nail down so if anyone sees this please report your settings and when it happens (for example, right after the schedule start time passes).

Posted 1.06 today.
version 1.06 adds option to mind mobile data: automatically disable mobile data when WiFi is connected (and automatically enable mobile data when WiFi disconnects).
Add setting option to open hidden Radio Info menu. This allows changes to the mobile radio speed 2G/3G/4G (aka EVDO/GSM, WCDMA, LTE).
Temporarily disable mobile radio control on Android 4.2+ devices due to SU blocking.

i like your idea, but i'm not willing to cut the cord and turn off the cellular radio. I usually leave wifi off anyway, i guess i could just use it for bluetooth...

Yes control of the cellular radio is optional and off by default. Everyone's situation is different, just note that WiFi uses alot less power than the cellular radio. Some phones get twice as much battery runtime when on WiFi compared to only the cellular radio.
Personally I've found the Bluetooth functionality to be handy. When I hop in the car, I don't have to worry about manually turning on Bluetooth (or turning it off when I get out of the car). When a call is made or received, Bluetooth automatically turns on and it connects quickly enough to take the call.

Released version 1.07
Fix WiFi detection for mobile data control
I've seen instances where the WiFi drops but mobile data isn't automatically re-enabled. Let me know if this happens and with what type of WiFi connection (home, public, etc).

On cm10.2 nightly your app is unable to detect that my phone is rooted. But otherwise neat idea, i like this app.

I disabled mobile radio control in version 1.06 because su was blocking with scheduling enabled. When this happens, the alarms get queued up and when su decides to unblock, they fire rapidly in succession. It's a very poor user experience. I've tried to pin down the problem but haven't found a solution yet. It's either RootTools or su itself not behaving as expected.

Hi,
i didn't know the app come from here ^_^;
Btw i left a message on playstore..
I would like to turn off gsm radio totally and keep wifi...
the app instead turn off all putting in aero mode.
Is there a way to reactivate Wifi after aero mode on? or just to power off gsm mobile radio and keeping wifi?

I just saw your message, sorry for the late response. Oddly your comment didn't show on the Play Store. Regarding the mobile radio (e.g. GSM), Google doesn't provide a standard way to control it just by itself. The only common method is through Airplane Mode. To address your concern, I've configured Airplane Mode to allow WiFi and Bluetooth to continue working. The recently released version has revamped mobile/cellular behavior. It defaults to controlling Mobile Data (leaving the radio on). If you'd like it to control the Mobile Radio, there's an option under Settings.
Hope that's explanation makes sense. If you have any more questions please feel free to post here or PM me.

Are there any more updates planned for it or not?

[Q] Nexus 5 Mobile Data When on Wifi

Hi all,
I am having an issue with my Nexus 5 using huge amounts of my mobile data (T-Mobile) when connected to wifi even when I'm not using it. What's crazy is that this keeps happening almost exclusively between 2-6am when I'm not awake. It also happens to an even further extent when I'm connected to wifi at work and not using my phone either. Heres a breakdown:
11/12 5:48 AM - 27.57 MB
11/13 3:33 AM - 12.42 MB
11/14 5:15 AM - 14.21 MB
11/12 2:53 PM - 49.57 MB
11/13 2:39 PM - 27.97 MB
I called T-Mobile and they said that it shows that I definitely used my data during those times. I have almost nothing running in the background that uses any data and have turned off my GPS to see if that will help.
Anyone else having the same problems or have any advice?
Thanks,
Chris

Only thing that comes to mind is that your wifi connection is being dropped for some reason, and your phone switches to mobile data instead.
About why data is being used at that time, it is very likely that there are some apps that are using background data - you may have disabled this for a bunch of apps, but may have missed some.
Check data usage under settings to see if you can identify the culprit (you can use the sliders to narrow down - though it doesn't seem to let you narrow down to a specific timeframe)

I may be mistaken, but I don't think you can do that on stock ROM at least. If WiFi is available, it will always try to use WiFi
For whatever reason, if you want to use Mobile data, you will need to turn WiFi off.
If you always want to use mobile data for a given app or want to use mobile data in a specific time range, you could use tasker app to set up a profile to disable WiFi when that app is launched (or in that time range)

Thanks. I did check last night to see what apps were using the most data and it was by far feedly but I'm not sure why that would be using data when I'm not awake. Does anyone else have that problem with feedly? Isn't it also strange that it keeps happening at roughly the same times every day?
Also wanted to add that I came from a Galaxy S2 running Cyanogen and never had this issue.

I just checked my gf's Galaxy Young...in there when you go to WIFI and access Advanced and there you can set Wifi Sleep policy.
The options I got are "When screen turns off", "Never when plugged in" and "Never"...not really the options I'd imagine for this =)

Did you check settings on your feedly? It sounds like it does a daily sync which some RSS readers I'd imagine would do.
I don't have feedly on my phone, but if it has some decent settings it should have one to sync only via wifi or similar.

Yea I checked the feedly settings section and there isn't anything related to sync. The app actually only refreshes when it's opened. For now I went into the "data usage" section on my phone and selected "Restrict background data" for the app. Hopefully that works.

It actually gets even crazier. Last night before I went to bed I turned off my mobile data by going to setting>data usage and it still shows at 5:19 AM that I used 43 MB of data. I mean the only explanation I could think of is I'm sleep walking and using my phone lol. I called T-Mobile and it definitely shows on their end I did use the data at that time. They also couldn't help me because they don't have the phone yet. Can't believe that no one else is having this problem. Guess I have to contact Google which should be really useful smh.

[Q] Wi-Fi won't stay off

I am quite given up with this issue in my phone; my Wi-Fi connection won't stay off. I want to manually activate/deactivate it, but it seems to have a life of its own.
This is apparently a very recurrent issue among Android phones, but the fix that applies to most doesn't apply to my phone. Most phones come with a Smart Wi-Fi, or in Xperia L's case, Location-based Wi-Fi, which you can disable and hopefully never have Wi-Fi respawn against command again.
In other phones you just have to disable notifications of present Wi-Fi networks, and the Wi-Fi can sleep tight until awoken.
However, I have disabled both modes, and my Wi-Fi still goes back on, no matter what. Can somebody shed some light?

I was looking for a fix rather than a workaround, but I will follow up on that Battery Doctor app, it may well relieve my headaches with this meanwhile.
However, how can I get some kind of debug log about the Wi-Fi activity (like events that trigger it on)?

I found a way to access debugging messages and these 3 messages appear on separate occasions but repeatedly:
Code:
Start proc com.sonyericsson.android.locationbasedwifi:service for broadcast com.sonyericsson.android.locationbasedwifi/.LbwBroadcastReceiver
Code:
Process com.sonyericsson.android.locationbasedwifi:service has died
Code:
D/WifiService( 776): setWifiEnabled: true pid=991, uid=10133
These are the only messages with relevant information about the wifi business. And 2 of these 3 seem to mention the "Location Based WiFi" service, which needless to say, was set to OFF in the Power Management Settings. However, this process has been rendered quite rebelious.
So, what I am trying now is to disable the "Location Based WiFi" built-in app from the Apps Settings (after having forcefully stopped it, of course) and waiting on to see if this application is the culprit.

Did you tried to disable (in Settings/Applications) wifi display mirroring and throw settings?
I have kicked off SomcWifiDisplay.apk and problem has gone. Of course my phone is rooted, if yours is not try to disable application in apps list.

Hmm, my phone is not rooted so that last suggestion is not an option, however I have searched for the mirroring and throw settings in the Apps settings and have only found "Screen mirroring", which I disabled as an application.
The problem seems to have become a lot less present. Yesterday I went almost through the whole day without it occurring once, but just as I plugged in the phone to charge it, the Wi-Fi turned on.
I have posted a similar thread to Sony's own forum, and they're telling me to repair my phone software with the PC Companion. I'm going to see how that goes and I'll report back to the community.

Try to clear data of Smart connect, looks like misbehaving of Smart Connect (or at least this is less hurting decision).

Up to now I've had the problem virtually disappear; I had disabled the applications Location Based Wi-Fi and Screen Mirroring. Since I did it, my Wi-Fi only turned on once against my will when I connected my phone to the charger *—I didn't sweat it.
I am going to try your solution, and to be honest I'm quite offput by Sony's solution suggestion; I don't even use Windows/Mac plus I'd have to install the PC Companion.
Data cleared. Let's wait and see. :cyclops:

I am still hoping that your problem has gone. I do not have any more aces in my pockets beyond this. All my suggestions were based on my previous experiments.

Just clearing the Smart Connect's application data did not work for me. I enabled all Sony applications previously disabled and cleared the data of said application, but the problem returned. I have gone back to my workaround of disabling Location Based WiFi, Screen Mirroring and I have also disabled Smart Connect because these autoconnections have been all but smart.

[APP] - WiFi Checker

A simple app to check whether your WIFI is connected or not. It then disables your WIFI when no connection is found (i.e. keeping your WIFI from hogging battery when not in use).
Also turn your WIFI "ON" once then turn it "OFF" later without the check intervals. Check FAQ for the explanation.
*NOTE - Check FAQ below or In App if you have any issues*
*Built-in FEATURES*
- Set how long it takes to check
- Set when to check
- Set the minimum signal strength required to connect
- Show surrounding AP info while scanning in the background & AP info when connected
- Disable WIFI when no internet connection is found
- Do a manual check
- Other minor features
Download it from XDA Labs - https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/wifi.checker.rf
Android Support - 4.0+
Optional Donation
Donate HERE if you feel like it
Feedback is much appreciated, whether it's bugs you experience or would like to see a new feature.
FAQ
1) "I want to automate my WIFI Connection, but without the checking intervals" - Easy, just set the time you want your WIFI to turn "ON" & "OFF" using the "Time to check:", then disable the check interval & lastly disable the "Notifications" in the "Notification Config" tab.
2) "I'm getting unreliable checks when the screen is off" - There is no built-in way around battery saving features/apps, so you'll need to whitelist the app in Battery Optimization/Greenify/Doze or any other battery saving app (it will not drain your battery, promise!)
3) "Even though i whitelisted the app i get unreliable checks (using a Sony Device with Stamina Mode Enabled)" - I do not have a workaround other than whitelisting, it is difficult to build support when i do not have a Sony Device to test on.
4) "WIFI turned off even if an Internet Connection is available" - Try disabling the ability to check for an Internet Connection under Extra Config tab.
5) "Please publish on Google Play" - I will publish on Google Play as soon as i have the available funds for a Developer Registration Fee.
6) "Do i need a Rooted Device" - No, Root is NOT needed
Changelog (v3.6)
* Improved WIFI switch when time ends
* WIFI now switched on when check time starts, instead of starting from an "Off" state
* Fixed incorrect variable shown on check titles
* Fixed boot check to run only when necessary
* Other minor bugs squashed and code improvements

I am not sure, will download them and have a look.
But in short, the app uses your saved WIFI networks (it does not connect to any open Access Point/Hotspot automatically). You specify when it should check, then it checks if there are any saved Hotspots in range and connects to it for you automatically (if there are no saved Hotspots in range, it automatically disables your WIFI until the next check).
Every time it checks it also saves a list of Hotspots picked up with their security, signal strength, mac address etc. (different details are also shown when connected to a hotspot for example: ip address, speed of connection, etc.)
This app is actually designed for an automated WIFI connection.

Is it a known bug that this app does not work reliably when the screen is turned off?
Thanks in advance

It is a known bug, because i have not found a way around other Battery Saving features yet.
[EDIT]OP has been updated[/EDIT]
You'll see in the OP i said that you should add "WiFi Checker" as an exception (whitelist) in any battery saving app that you may have installed. That includes Android's built-in Battery Optimization / Doze Mode. Also if you have a Sony Device with Stamina Mode enabled, you will have problems if the app is not whitelisted.
Let me know if the issue persists then i'll look into it for you.

I will publish on Google Play as soon as i have the available funds for a Developer Registration Fee. Currency is very weak in the country now, therefore i can't spare the fee at this stage.
In the meantime: Any person that doesn't have the XDA Labs app installed, i've added a link in the OP to the app on the XDA Labs website. :good:
I will leave a message here as soon as it's on Google Play.

Would it be possible to implement something like: when the user turns off wifi manually, so the service of your apps stops and continues only when wifi is turned on by the user again.
I'm asking, because sometimes I have a bad wifi signal at my grandparents house and have to switch to mobile network so I can receive my notifications punctually instead of a 15 minutes delay. When I switch off my WiFi, your app re-activates my WiFi after some time for a scan (that's actually the purpose of your app haha) and the problem I've already said occurs.
Could you look into that?
Thanks in advance

Thought I'd asked this once but can't find it so...
What does the Location setting do? I thought it turned the GPS on/off but I turned it off and could still track my run. Does it just come on when SHealth is on or what?

This thread answers some of your questions:

I leave my location set to on, GPS only, and the location only seems to turn on if the app you are using requires location services. i.e. if you have a weather app to frequently update location specific weather it will eat up more of your battery unless you arrange settings to check more infrequently.
I have not set it to strictly off, so there may be a way for it to use your phone (if you are running with that and the watch BT connected) for the location pin points but I am not sure.

Do you bring your phone with you on the run? If so i believe it uses phone gps. I can see my phone gps full time when doing things like that. And then if you don't have your phone with you the watch is doing a lot of searching via Bluetooth to reconnect. Try turning gps off on both phone and watch then try run again. Shouldn't track.

I'm LTE so I leave my phone at home most of the time so that's not it. But Thanks!
