Wi-Fi Auto Toggle

About this app

Wi-Fi Auto Toggle is an Android application that turns Wi-Fi on when you enter a location in which you have used Wi-Fi and turns it off when you leave.
All you have to do is turn on Wi-Fi and connect to the network with Wi-Fi Auto Toggle running.
In order to save battery Wi-Fi Auto Toggle doesn't turn on Wi-Fi to find out the phone location. Instead it solely relies on cellular network.
Use of wireless networks must be enabled in Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Location & security -> Use wireless networks.
Unless GPS is used, which drains battery, the accuracy of location provided by cellular network is very coarse.
Wi-Fi Auto Toggle works at its best when the Wi-Fi locations are relatively far apart.
In some rare cases the location provided by cellular network was quite different than location provided by Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi Auto Toggle would not work for such locations.
When the screen goes to sleep, the phone checks it's location every four minutes, so Wi-Fi may not be turned on/off instantly.
When no application needs current location, GPS is not tuned on, even when it is enabled.
Since Wi-Fi Auto Toggle needs current location, the operating system will use GPS, when it is enabled, even when the phone is asleep.
In order to conserve battery GPS should be disabled when Wi-Fi Auto Toggle is used.

Ratings and reviews

The first thing this app wants me to do is disable GPS. It won't continue until I do. GPS is the best way to find the current location. I always leave it on. This app is junk and was uninstalled.

This app worked great on my HTC Rezound with android 4.0, but it doesn't seem to work properly on my new Sony Z3v with android 4.4.2. It takes too long to turn WiFi on and off at particular locations (using the same kind of location services as the old phone) and completely ignores the fact that I've said to not turn it on at certain locations. Unfortunate. :(

Using with Droid Razr Maxx, Ice cream Sandwich on Verizon. I had been searching for the perfect Wi-Fi toggle for a long time now something that will simply turn on the Wi-Fi as soon as I reach a location where I've used Wi-Fi before, and turn it back off as soon as I leave that location. Something that will use (coarse) cellular GeoLocation only and not the GPS radio. I had been using "WiFi Location Toggle" by Ethan Shayne, and it sorta worked, but I have to say "Wi-Fi Auto Toggle" is the much better. This app coupled with a Motorola "Smart-Action" that turns off cellular data as soon as I'm connected to Wi-Fi, is the perfect solution for my needs. Thank You!
