AutoWifiSwitch
A free Android app which connects to the best wifi connection possible. Useful for locations which have multiple extenders with different SSIDs.
Please note: This app will only attempt to connect to networks which you have connected to before.
Permission Breakdown
- ACCESS_WIFI_STATE - Used for determining if wifi is enabled, so we don't attempt to scan whilst its off.
- CHANGE_WIFI_STATE - Required for starting a scan of nearby networks.
- ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE - To see if you are actually connected to a wifi network, if not then we won't scan for a better wifi
- RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - Used for starting up the application's wifi scanning service when your device is powered up.
- QUICKBOOT_POWERON - The same as above, only for HTC devices using quick boot
Upcoming Features
- Sound notification when changing network?
- Debugging interface to see network signal strengths and how they compare to other nearby networks, useful for figuring out a good signal difference requirement.
- Better tablet experience.
Todo
- Fix battery issues (not sure if this is still an issue).
- Cleanup.
Credits
- AndroidAssetStudio for the icons, I'm very bad at graphics myself.
- Gravity for doing some testing & providing Samsung specific values to make the power saver function.
