WiFi Automatic

WiFi Automatic is an open source application that allows you to easily manage your WiFi connection on your device. With this app, you can set your device to automatically turn on WiFi when you turn on your device or when you enter a specific location. However, please note that this feature requires a cell radio and will not work on WiFi-only tablets. Additionally, the app can regularly scan for available networks and disable WiFi if no suitable network is found, ensuring that you are always connected to your preferred WiFi network while using your device.

The app is open source, meaning that the source code is freely available for anyone to view and modify. This allows for transparency and community collaboration in the development of the app.

Using WiFi instead of a mobile data connection can help save battery power on your device. With WiFi Automatic, you can keep your WiFi radio active whenever a WiFi network is in range, making it a practical choice for your phone.

In order for the app to function properly, it requires certain permissions. These include the ability to receive boot completed notifications in order to start the service again when your device reboots. Additionally, the app needs permissions to observe and change the WiFi state, as well as access to network and WiFi information. If you choose to use the "turn on WiFi when entering these locations" feature, the app will also need permissions for internet access, writing to external storage, and accessing coarse and fine location information.
