WiFi Companion switches your WiFi in a smart way by turning it on only when is needed in order to save battery power based on cell towers information. You can set when and where your WiFi turns on or turns off, how often it connects, at what time or even which days. It is all up to you.
Additionally, it records relevant information of every network you use so now you will not wonder where this "default" network is located, or when was the last time you used it. For every network you use, WiFi Companion (privately in your phone) stores:
- Name of the network.
- BSSID.
- Last IP address.
- Maximum speed reached.
- Precise location. This location is determined once per each network and uses GPS if available, so you can see its location on a map. You can also manually set its location.
- Last time of connection/disconnection.
In addition, for each network you can:
- Set a label to help you recognize it later.
- Set a password reminder, or even the password itself if you want it. Since Android doesn’t let you see passwords once you set them, now you can use them later or share them with someone else.
- Control its proximity calculation. Some networks are not related to cell towers location, such as mobile access points, so you can exclude them from near networks list.
- Control its precise location if you don’t want to show them on the map.
WiFi Companion provides a notification that shows you when your WiFi is turned on, so now you can easily check when you are wasting battery by not being connected. It also shows current network name, IP address and last time of connection/disconnection.

Now I'm looking for beta testers. A pretty improved beta version has been uploaded so if you want to help please join this G+ community:
https://plus.google.com/communities/109900803911277061839
And then follow this link:
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.weavestudios.wificompanion
Please give it a try and let me know what you think. I'll be posting here and in the G+ page.
A new version has been published adding many features requested by you and fixing some important bugs.
It's been a while since WiFi Companion was first published and I think it's way more mature now, so please take a look and tell me what you think.

I created an account and am fiddling around with it.
Looks good so far. One small remark, when you advertise full control, it would be nice to actually have full control.
Enabling GPS etc..
Will play around with it in the next few days and I'll report back my findings.
Please, don't take my comment the wrong way, I like what you've created so far !

Great news!
Now all transmission of data occurs over an encrypted channel (SSL)... even more secure!
The server upgrade is over and all services are up again.
Remote Phone is ready to sync more and more users! Yeahhhh..
Has anyone tried this besides me?
Hello,
I currently have a problem with the automatic time synchronization.
When I set a correct time and switch to automatic, it slowly differs to a point where I have to "fix" the time myself (when more than 5 minutes).
I tried setting a completely false time (11am when it's only 8am) and switch automatic sync. It doesn't synchronize at all, it stayed on 11am and I had 3hours difference all day long.
I though it was my provider but a friend with an Iphone and the same provider manage to synchronize. Also, I found on my provider website a tutorial with the nexus S saying it should work (so I guess my provider support NITZ)
Any ideas ?
I currently have a stock nexus S and have SFR (in france) as a provider.
Thanks in advance
if network sync is not working for you
then i'll suggest this nice little app
ClockSync

Aren't there a way to make the android sync working (or making the provider working with it)?
I'm the kind of person who likes having fewer application on his phone.
(but of course if there is no solution, I'll download the app)
just for reference, i'm on stock 2.3.3 and it works pretty much right away after i enabled Network Sync in settings
a couple of weeks back during the NAM time change, i checked the box, and a few sec later it updated the time from my carrier
so, if there is a bug, it would not be from the AOS but rather something else, it could be a some other settings issues, or simply your phone carrier might not talk in the same language for the NTP sync... as in they are only compatible with iphones
or it could be a million of other things
the easiest way to find out is to factory reset the phone
uncheck the sync network time in settings
change the time to something wrong
then go back to settings and enable the sync network time
and if it changes after a couple of minutes, then your phone is fine, and it was probably some other installed apps causing the problem
I created a location tracking app, which doesnt use GPS, WIFI or internet while tracking. This was kinda meant to be my personal app, because data connection while roaming is too expensive for me, and of course, GPS would drain off my battery from 100% to 0% in less than 4 hours if used continuously (Im using LG Optimus One). Plus, GPS tracking apps dont let the device sleep.
You can easily view your tracks on map, or in a tree view.
It can also batch-geotag pictures, based on the locations recorded.
I had been working on it for months before releasing it in Play Store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arn.loc
Features:
• Location tracking:
This app works by logging cell tower id. You can specify the time interval. When the app is in background, and is recording locations, it doesnt keep running forever. It runs only at the specified intervals and closes. So, it hardly uses any resources and is task killer friendly.
*** Accuracy of location by cell tower is low, ranging from 500m to sometimes even 4KM. This app will be useful only if you are travelling tens or hundreds of KMs and if you dont mind accuracy.
*** To resolve the recorded cell IDs into geo coordinates, you need internet. You can do this anytime later, maybe after you are back to home.
• Geotagging pics:
To geotag pics, just put this app in recording mode while you click photos. When you get to home, you just need to resolve the locations recorded and geotag the pics.
Geotagging is done by selecting a location from your records, based on the time when the picture was taken.
• Backup and restoring of records to sdcard

If found, let me know...
If you liked it, press Thanks!
I'm gonna try this one
Looks really interesting. Integration with Tasker would by nice to have. You could start the app when leaving home (wifi disconnect, time of day, cell ID....) and stop it after arriving to the destination.
cant find it in the play store ( i have motorola defy cm10)
can someone provide me that apk?
okay, apk attached
Updated with the following changes
- Extended compatibility to Eclair and Froyo.
- Fixed an error about displaying of dates on map.
- Fixed an issue with restoring data.
- Now blue pointers will be hidden in lower zoom levels.
can you share the source code please ?
Sounds interesting..
Previously i use location tracking app that work with gps but it drains the battery more
Will try this
Thanks

Difference between apps is fact that free version got advert.
WiFi Data - essential application for all WiFi users with splendid Holo interface.
It offers you presentation of all data from your WiFi device. If you have problems with your signal strength WiFi Data will help you. You can test, diagnose your WiFi signal quality and check the status of the device with our app.
With splendid UI consistent with Android Holo theme (also for Android 2.3 devices!) you will never need other WiFi app!
Four different tabs are at your service to test and see your WiFi data:
1) Connection tab – info about current connection, net and access point you are conected to. All important informations like SSID, BSSID, MAC, speed or lease duration are available, Your IP address, netmask and net gateway with dns adresses.
2) Acces points list tab – list of all visible network access points to your device. Every row describes one network with its name, channel, security and signal strength. You can sort this list by every attribute and discover networks around you!
3) Channels tab – graph presentation of visible networks with parabola shape depending on signal strength and channel on which network is working.
4) Signal tab – graph of time-dependent net signal strength. Small list showing every visible net. You can select most important network from list and watch how it's signal strength is changing in time.

Blue2Hotspot is a program for automatically turning on an access point (Hotspot) when connected to certain Bluetooch devices.
Languages: English, Russian (translation planned)
It happens that you get tired of doing the same thing and constantly get into the car, look for your phone, turn on the access point, and so on every day. I decided to write a small application to automate these actions. To enable the access point, you need permission - location (I myself think this is nonsense). The program does not write your data or send it anywhere. All other permissions are needed to keep Android from being unloaded from the system.
Some water. Since the parents bought a car and there is a large screen, you can launch the navigator and all sorts of online services, but how to turn on the access point turned out to be more difficult to teach, since a couple of weeks will pass and the call "how to turn on Wi-Fi". And I decided to write a small application.
Instructions
Make pairing with Bluetooth and Wifi device.
Install Blue2Hotspot, give permission.
Make settings and select your Bluetooth device.
Click on the Start service button
That's it, the service will work on this; now, when connected to the device, the access point will turn on.

What is the speed that one can expect?
Thanks for the very useful app, that works very well. I tried a couple of others before finding this that didn't work.
Would it be possible to select multiple BT devices so that it could be used in more than one car?
After using Blue2Hotspot for a couple of weeks I'm an absolute fan of it. Annexhack, you have programmed a really useful program, easy to handle for beginners too. I second the requst from kk131 and add: I'd like to donate a beer to you, let us know how to do. Thanks
Bye for now Fred
