Toggle WiFi On-Off

Hello All,
Any good tip (shortcut/patch/tweak/app) to toggle WiFi On-Off?
Thanx
SiperX

Battery Status - Tray launch

What procedure to follow?
Battery Status...? How?
Could you indicate the path to create a shortcut with traylaunch?
Will the icon on Today actually toggle WiFi on-off?
Thanks,
SiperX

Hey SiperX
Just do the following with BS...
Options -> Tab "TrayLaunch" -> Mark "TrayLaunch" and "Active / Path to program... and you should see Wifi in the list there under, click ok.
And on your Todayscreen you'll see all the apps you've add on the bottom of the screen ;-)

I had an old BS version...
Thanks CoolGadget!
Now with the new version of BS it is all clear...
Despite the new version of BS offers a variety of cool features the actual WiFi toggle on-off is not performed (like for ex. the app " Cicle BT" does for the BT on-off).
Anybody has another tip/patch/app/tweak to actually toggle (activate ~ deactivate) the wireless function?
(I mean: One tap WiFi goes on, the next tap WiFi goes off)
Thanx,
SiperX

Hi SiperX, I use AEButon plus to switch wifi on and off, Button 1 is mapped to it. One press wifi on/off, double press bluetooth on/off. Plus it is great for loads of other cool stuff to make the artemis really easy to navigate one handed. One point though with black&blue v2 I have to first time after a soft reset turn wifi on with com manager but after that initial operation I can then just press button 1 to toggle wifi and bluetooth.

same here. I use AEButon plus to map my hardware buttons. I mapped the comm button to
one press - wireless on/off
two presses - Bluetooth on/off
3 presses - Comm Manager

Thanks to both of you
Guys thanks for the suggestion: That sounds more like the app I was looking for!
I'll try it out and let you know.
Thanks again.

Ups,wrong thread, sorry

Turn off screen during tomtom

Is possible?
I'm trying to use psshutxp but it seems to disable gps!!! Like if I put device in standby mode.
I need only to turn off the screen when desidered. How to?

Have you unchecked "turn off device if not used for" in power settings?
Works for me, but I use screenoff and Garmin Mobile XT.

[APP]SVMPowerMgr 2.0 - Power comm. utility

Hello.
This is the "reloaded" of SVMPowerMgr 1.0.
With this app. You can:
- turn off the screen of Your device
- put the device in suspended mode
- soft reset the device
- turn off the device (HTC devs.).
- turn on/off wifi
- turn on/off phone module
- turn on/off bluetooth (make discoverable/invisible)
- switch phone bands Auto-2G-3G
You also can create 7 shortcuts to the program with parameters:
0 - turn off the screen of Your device
1 - put the device in suspended mode
2 - soft reset the device
3 - turn off the device(HTC devs.).
4 - turn on/off phone module
5 - turn on/off wifi
6 - turn on/off bluetooth
somethig like this
[simbols count]#"[path to program]SVM Power Mgr.exe" [parameter]?[path to icon file you want to use],-[icon index]
You can change the images of backrounds button separator and buttons, they will be located in "Images" folder after install. With one restriction: now the buttons are black, so if you change the back of main program, consider this ...
Remarks: To close the main window you must tap anywhere outside the buttons or in space between buttons. Also to close additional windows tap the Close button or empty space of window.
P.S.
On/off bluetooth works well on Microsoft and Broadcom stacks, but discoverable/invisible mode for bluetooth is working just on Microsoft stacks, on broadcom is to be developped
P.S.S.

Regards.

Seems really useful. Gonna try it with powerbutton long press

Looks promising....will give this a whirl...thx

hello and thaks. i am looking for something like this.
happy new year

Looks useful... Gonna try it.
Thanks for sharing.
Best regards

It looks awesome. Will give it atry on my phone.,..

Looks great, thank you very much!

It works but there is no icon on each button on my HD. Using stock ROM

Works great on my Diamond. The only thing that does not work is the 3G and 2G switch, which I assume is because I am on CDMA. Would it be possible to get the button to switch from Ev (3)G to 1x? Good work.

Hi,
I'll try to find a way for this.
Best regards.

Error
For my device it can do almost all it promises including turning off the gsm but turning it on or switching between 2G/3G does nothing except gives me a dialog box named "Warning!" that containins the sentence
"The Phone status can not be switched."
Also turning the gsm and 3G on/off with HTC comm manager works just fine but as soon the gsm gets turned off by svmpm the HTC one also looses control over the gsm module (including 3G switch). I love your tool but how to get over this case?

I've got a feeling that this app has one of the best forum-replies per downloads ratio. I mean people just use it and don't complain. So great app when mapped to a comfortable hardkey. My issue was rare, so download it!

Hello and thanks for the program. I have instaled in my HD and mapped to one of the home bottom button. I have an spasnish stock ROM 1.56 and the final button doesn´t work and I would want to link it to another application like mylight. How can I make this?
Thanks for this applicatin

Missing icons
The app functions correctly for me, but the icons are missing (the text for each button are present). Anyway to bring the icons back?
Thanks
MEG
HTC HD2

Thanks a lot.
A very useful app for my GPS guided treeking.

works very well, thank you very much!

Dear Virtan, would you please give me an axample to create a shortcut please.
I think I don't know about [symbol count] and [parameter]?...
What should i write (i use resco explorer) when i want to create a shortcut, for suspend for example...
Thank You
EDIT :
It's okay...I found it..i just add number 1 after the shortcut.
For example :
"\Program Files\SVM Power Mgr\SVM Power Mgr.exe" 1
But Still don't know how to change the icon.
PS:
When i use this shortcut as a link to SPB Mobile Shell i found that everytime i wake up the device, the device starting with "something working" logo (circle that quartered and moving). This is not found when i use the SVM Power Mgr usual link (with menu). Any suggestion?

turn off WiFi?

guys, is there any point turning off WiFi when not in use, or does it do the decent thing and stop using power when not actively in use?

I'd imagine it still scans for networks so it will still use battery - I just have the toggle on one of my home screens and turn it on when needed

from Market, get WiFi Status from Andrew Schwimmer, one of the very best android app developers. It doesn't do exactly what you want but it's the smartest detection app out there for letting you know when there is no wifi signal to connect to, thus prompting you to toggle off wifi. It displays in the Notification Bar.
As for turning off wifi, I tried about 10 home screen widgets; they are all the same more or less. To me the far greater tool is Quick Settings, which gives you one-click access from anywhere via the Notification Bar, vs having to navigate to home screen and find the widget. But in addition it has toggles for sound, brightness, data, gps, bluetooth, etc -- all in on fast app.
I think it blows all these single-function widgets away as dumb.

So if my phone is on, screen off, in my pocket, it'll be constantly looking for wifi? If this is the case it's, well, dumb. Ta for tip about quick settings, just installed it and it's very nice.

Add the widget 'Power Control' for one-touch bluetooth/wifi/gps/sync/brightness control....

Not sure it would be scanning for wifi when the screen is off. That would be daft. Ntework coverage yes, but wouldnt think wifi until you turn on the screen. Anyone confirm?

no, it stays on when the screen is off.
Seems so many people complained about it turning off in standby that google went ahead and changed it.
now it defaults to staying on forever until manually turned off.

Go to Settings> Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi Settings > [Menu] > Advanced > Wi-Fi sleep policy. I set mine to 'after 15 mins'... if I understood this setting correctly then after 15 minutes of the phone being in Sleep mode it'd turn off the Wi-Fi. I don't use mobile data anyway so that's irrelevant. Wi-Fi will turn on again once I activate the screen.

blimey, that's well hidden.
what a stupid arrangement. WiFi should be on demand, and enabled only when data requests it, like the iPhone.

I use "Y5 - Battery Saver" for my wireless shenanigans

I am using 'Y5 battery save'r. It turns on wifi if you are on a location where you had a wifi connection and turns it off if you go elsewhere. You can manage the locations in the program. It can use the GPS or radio for the locations. You will find it in the market place.

[Q] Wifi won't connect until turning on screen

My WiFi doesn't seem to connect to saved hotspots until the screen is turned on. Whenever I get to work or back home and I don't turn on my phone; a couple hours later when I actually turn on the screen it connects. Does anyone else have this issue or know what might cause it? I'm not using any power saving apps or any apps that affect my network.

Try going into Settings-> Wifi -> Click menu button and select "Advanced" and make sure "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is set to always.

can anyone else verify this happens for them too? I have tried a complete format/wipe and loaded a stock 7105 rom and am still having the issue.

Maybe if you have power saver on, it does that? I know it's lot listed under what it's done, but you never know (;
Other than that, I can't think of anything other than keeping WiFi on during sleep.

it's off :< My roommate's S3 and my other roommate's N4 both auto connect without touching the phone. Once you turn the screen on it's already connected to wifi while mine is on edge until I power on the screen.
The only reason this is an issue is that I use grooveIP for calls through data, so if I have no reception here (i.e. no data) I won't be able to reliable receive calls unless I remember to power on my screen every time I come home.
