Applications to automatically connect WiFi and disconnect
– Take a look at these tips, tricks, and solution you can use to make your life much easier with your devices whenever problems arrive and complications which you may find difficult to deal with.
Android phones usually connect to previously saved WiFi networks automatically when they are within range. However, this does not happen if the WiFi switch has been previously disabled.
To force the automatic activation of the WiFi and that, consequently, the cell phone connects to the Internet if it receives a signal from a known wireless network, there are several interesting apps. For example, with them you can turn on the WiFi when you get home or the office, only at certain times, when you unlock the screen, etc.
The same applications allow you to control the automatic shutdown of the WiFi, in case you want to save battery, not because the WiFi uses a lot of battery, which is not the case, but rather because of the apps that can use the connection to synchronize and download data in background.
Enable WiFi by location
WiFi Automatic (available for free and Google Play) It allows turn on WiFi automatically when entering a location of a certain radius, such as your home or office. However, only one location can be added in the free version, a limitation that is removed by purchasing the paid version.
When adding a place to the application, it should not be necessary to activate the option «Active location scan«, Unless the WiFi is not activated correctly when arriving at the configured place.
According to schedule, lock screen, load, open applications, etc.
As you may have noticed, the previous apps, in addition to allowing connect the WiFi depending on where you are, offer other conditions to connect or enable the cell phone’s WiFi automatically. For example, when the screen is unlocked, at a certain time, while charging the battery, etc., and also similar possibilities to disconnect the WiFi.
Another application that I like for these options is WiFi Auto Connect, which in addition to what has been said, allows turn on WiFi when launching an app or applications in particular, which may be useful for save data when you open applications like YouTube or Spotify. There is also the option connect the WiFi every so often, for X minutes, in case you are in the office or resting and you don’t want notifications to bother you all the time.
