Hello,
I have an old android 2.2 phone (Karbonn A1) and I use it as a Wi-Fi hotspot. Its battery is dead so I just plug it in my PC via USB cable and it turns on and it turns off as soon as the PC shuts down. Now every-time I turn my PC on, on the phone I have to go to setting and then turn on the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot on every single time. So is there any way that I can permanently turn on the Wi-Fi hotspot, like when the phone is turned off and then turned on the data connection is always on until I turn it off manually but the Wi-Fi hotspot turns off when the phone is turned off. My phone is rooted.
Any help would be appreciated.

im not sure if it will work on a system version that old, but there is an app called llama that will turn it on automatically.
how you would set it up is:
-delete all the pre installed events as you wont need them
-create a new event
-add condition, "enter/in area" and choose "home"
-add action, "wifi hotspot"
-back out and it will save
-now go to "areas/home", long press and select "learn". i recommend at least 2 hours for best results.
thats it. it should now boot up and turn on the hotspot (provided you are home).
it uses cell signatures, not gps. so it wont tax your already dead battery
hope that helps

Hi,
When I actavate the wifi on my SPV E650 (vox), and the phone goes in low power mode (screen goes black), after 10 secondes the WIFI disconnect itself (that's OK), but there is a BIP when it does it.
After even when the keyboard is locked, if I press a key the Wifi seems to wake up for a while, then disconnect again and BIP again.
Is there a way to
1) get rid of the BIP
2) avoid the WIFI to try to reconnect when the keyboard is locked ?
If I deactivate the WIFI completly, it stop beeping but then my wifi don't work anymore...
In the power mode of the wifi settings there is an option to have the phone not deactivating WIFI when the screen goes off. But then you have to manually put on / off your wifi.
Unfortunately WIFI drains a lot your battery...

Thanks that could do it.
Actually now I'm manually deactivating the WIFI unless I really want to use it.
But I'm upset that I can't get rid of the beep when the WIFI is deactivated.
I had an idea how to save power.
How it works is that it would run in the background of the phone.
By default WiFi is turned off, however when an app requires some form of data connection, the WiFi app recognises this and turns on the WiFi.
If a WiFi network is near and you already have the password stored in the phone it connects to the network.
If a WiFi network is near and you dont have the password stored it prompts you with a popup. If you cancel the popup, WiFi gets turned off.
This way power can be saved so WiFi doesn't have to always be on and only gets turned on when needed.
Possible? What you think?
Juicedefender does this. It will cut off your WIFI if it's not around known networks. I think you have to buy ultimatejuice (it's worth it).
On most android phones you can stop them from connecting to open WiFi, so it only connects to your home WiFi and other predefined locations.
The Z3 has an option on the Stamina page:
Location based WiFi- WiFi activated automatically when in range of a saved WiFi network.
I've played with this but i don't get it. If that's activated and I've turned WiFi off it doesn't seem to turn WiFi on, and if WiFi is turned on it'll connect anyway so this option is redundant.
The power policy makes no difference, and I've added my WiFi point to the list.
Maybe you need to turn on "background scanning" in advanced settings which checks for WiFi in intervals even when WiFi set to off.
If you leave wifi enabled the feature will automatically turn it off when you are not near the location of one of your saved networks, and then back on when you are again near that location. Don't manually turn off wifi, the feature won't turn it back on in that state.
I was wondering the same thing. I'll test this out today.
The description should say that WiFi will turn off when not in range of saved networks.
Sony makes it sound like we need to have WiFi off, and it'll turn back on automatically when in range.

Exactly, especially when another option, on the advanced wifi option page, says:
"Scanning always available: Let google's location service and other apps scan for networks, even when wi-fi is turned off"
because it gives the impression you can enable that, turn wifi off, but use the "location based" option to override your wifi disable to turn it back on again.
Scanning always available is a battery killer.
What I have noticed is that my Wi-Fi turns off when I leave my residence to work and stays off the entire time. It doesn't turn on automatically when you come home until something runs a scan of your location. I believe that is how it works and when it senses that you're near where your WiFi is it will turn it on automatically.
Hey, everyone. Here's a small app I made for myself and figured I might as well post it for anyone else who may want it. It's fully free, and does not track any of your information (which some similar apps out there required permissions I didn't view as necessary for this kind of app, and therefor a little fishy). I made the app to be a convenience thing and battery saver (I only want my wifi adapter to be on at home, and not turn back on again at work), so I'm open to any feature requests people may have to make it more convenient for you.
I call it Auto Wifi, here's a Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.psiincgames.autowifi
Going on the description I wrote for the Play Store:
Auto Wifi controls the wifi on your phone for you, turning it on and off as needed. This is both convenient and saves you battery life. Want to have your wifi turn on at home, but not at school or work? We can do that for you.
You have full control over how it will work, with control over everything from the scan interval times to which wifi ssid's to connect to. The optional notification setting helps keep Auto Wifi open in the background, and is as non-intrusive as possible. We hate unnecessary notifications just as much as you do.
It operates using 3 selectable modes:
"Auto on, auto off" - this mode will shut your wifi off when no signal nearby saved access point is detected, and turns it on whenever any wifi access point you've connected to before is nearby.
"Selective on, auto off" - this mode will only automatically turn your wifi on when your device can connect to an access point from a list that you select. Great for when you want your phone to connect to wifi at home but not at school or work. It will only shut your wifi off automatically when it isn't connected to anything, so you can still manually turn on your wifi without disruption.
"Auto off only" - lastly, this mode will only automatically turn wifi off, so you can have full manual control over when it turns back on again.
Description of permissions required:
"Run at startup" - as the name implies, this is needed so we can start Auto Wifi at device start up.
"Access Network State" and "Access Wifi State" - these are needed so we can check if you are connected to a wifi network. This lets us know when to turn wifi on or off, otherwise known as the 'Auto' part of Auto Wifi.
"Change Wifi State" - this is required so we can actually turn your wifi adapter on and off for you, otherwise this app would be pointless.
I recently found that my device is still remains connected with Wi-Fi when I switched on after few hours ,but my WiFi modem have power saving mode which automatically turn off the WiFi hotspot after ten minutes if no device is connected with it ,so for just curious about knowing what happens to wifi when a device gets powered off and how it still get connected with the modem
Can anyone explain please?
