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.
Also I want to remind you my other app GPS Data https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pierwiastek.gpsdata

[Q] D6633 Lollipop - Location based wifi missing

This used to be in Stamina mode, but I can't seem to find it anymore. Has it moved to another setting (tried looking but can't find it) or has it been completely removed?

It is not missing in D6603. Settings : WI-FI : press the tree dots that are showing in the upper-right corner : Advanced : and there it is.

Do you mind telling me where you can find it there coz I seem to overlook it.

Screenshots from advanced in the wifi settings.
I don't see any location based wifi options here.

Also according to Sony, they removed this feature: https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...out-Lollipop-BALTIC-GENERAL/m-p/959335#M24468

Instead you can use Smart Wifi Toggler (or any other app, they all share the same idea). It works basically well and SWT has as well an option to prefer 5Ghz WLAN.

I have wifi-o-matic (similar function), which I used before I had the z3, however trying it on the z3 it seems to open the wifi at random points and never closes it.

Smart Wifi Toggler works properly after some learning phase. I can see Wifi switched off, however the power history shows it all the time on.

Seems Sony got rid of "location based wifi" because they think Google's own scanning always available option has been improved in Lollipop. I very much doubt that.
If wifi matic doesn't improve, I will give smart wifi toggler a go.
I really liked the fact that Sony had baked in the wifi option into their rom, so was slightly annoyed that they removed it with the lollipop upgrade.

[APP][4.0+]WiFi Companion

I want to show you my new app: WiFi Companion, a new way to manage your WiFi.

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.

Samsung Galaxy S7 - SM-G930W8 - No WiFi

Hi everyone!
My son gave me his old Samsung Galaxy S7 - SM-G930W8. It has a problem that the WiFi isn't working. I've managed to root and install TWRP on it and then I tried some different ROM's with the same results, still no WiFi.
Is this a hardware problem? If so, is there a way to fix it? Or is this phone a nice MP3 player now?
Thanks!

Is the wifi toggle button present in the pull down menu?
When turned on do you then go into settings, choose the WiFi connection you want to connect to and enter password?
Your device has a mac address is this present in the settings menu or is it blank?
Settings >about phone>status>WiFi mac address

Hi @cooltt
On the pull down menu, the WiFi is shown and it appears to be active:

However, when I go into the WiFi menu in Settings, there are no access points listed:
I seem to have the same problem with the Bluetooth on the device:
Under "About Device" I do have MAC addresses for both the WiFi and Bluetooth:
However, the phone can't see my Anker speaker that is right next to it.

WPA3 Enterprise Wifi workaround?

So my college has a wifi setup where I have to use a User Name and password.
EAP method is PEAP.
Phase 2 Authentication MSCHAPV2
The issue is they do not provide a certificate.
This is using the Android 11 that comes on the Oneplus 8T I unlocked it and rooted it.
Android 11 security patch does not allow you to connect to non-certificated WPA3 wifi connections.
My Oneplus 7 Pro on Android 10 had no issues using the exact same connection settings.
Has anyone experienced this or know of a work around. It seems with all new samsung devices using Android 11 they have no issues. Just my Oneplus 8T.
There must be a patch or a mod I even tried changing the file for the saved internet connection. No success.
Reference this for the security patch
PSA: Android 11 will no longer let you insecurely connect to enterprise WiFi networks
The Android 11 update will break connecting to certain enterprise WiFi networks. Here's why and what you can do to fix it.

Option 1: Add you College's public key to the trusted keys. I am not sure how that Auth method really works, but I suppose that the connection is signed by a self-signed certificate.
Try to get your hands on it and add it under Settings > Security.
Option 2: Ask your College to fix this. If they have not signed their encryption/auth method (again, I don't really know how WPA3 Enterprise works, and I suppose that some keys are automatically generated on setup), ask them to do so. If their signatures are outdated or somehow not working ask them to regenerate them properly.

I have not been successful last few days getting anything from the schools IT department telling them it don't work is like speaking another language.
There has to be a away to force Android to allow a connection. I'm willing to edit what ever files or settings via root editing that's needed. I searched the deepest parts of the internet without any luck this disappointing..

Try update system to latest build, because i can select "Do not validate" with a warning message below.
Two builds earlier "OnePlus8TOxygen_15.O.21_0215_2101010247"s changelog mentioned:
