WiFi Lock

Helps you ensure that your WiFi radio will remain active when the phone is idle.

When running on Cupcake (Android 1.5) and beyond, it simply acts as a toggle utility for the "Wireless Controls | Wi-Fi Settings | Menu | Advanced | Wi-Fi Sleep Policy" setting (between "When screen turns off" and "Never").

Good if you use your phones radio a lot. Useless otherwise. Has no instructions or options. Better to have a wifi locker. Uninstalling from my phone.

It is very difficult to see of this is on or off. App doesn't open, change color, or give you a notification. There is a tiny brief pop up that is hard to read and quickly disappears. Very poor UI design.

I know i dont need it anymore, but i'll keep it. It is a great shortcut and it was super when there was no better.

Had to do a hard reset on my Moment and noticed wifi was turned off when phone was idle. Im a noob when it comes to cell phones so i downloaded this.

Don't use with Nook Color it will stop your Nook from deep sleeping. Went from not needing a charge for days to dead in hours. Running latest Miui

Does what it says it does, but I'm looking for a app that can make WiFi turn off when the screen goes off. Lowest WiFi sleep policy on Evo is 15 mins

You can toggle to be connected to wifi even if screen goes off. Would be 5 stars if widget was include. Good app nonetheless. Xperia arc

Was an excellent app when needed. No longer needed, however, after cupcake install. Nonetheles, kudos to the dev for saving us when in need

Excellent application, works well on all devices i tried so far, from lg gw620 to htc desire s till samsung galaxy s2.

Great app. Keeps my connection alive unless I have 3G on. If 3G is on, it still disconnects and favors the 3G connection. Consider adding a toggle to shut off 3G when WiFi is enabled by your app. This should be okay since if you are using WiFi, you shouldn't need 3G.

Marvellous work, xtreme useful. One suggestion: add a timer to disconnect wifi just in case we forgot to off this option. Lol

The app will appear to stay connected to wifi but it really won't be. The wifi icon will go from green to white and you will have to disconnect and reconnect to get internet access.

Works fine on my old Pandigital 7" White Novel eBook reader that's been "jailbroken" to run as a stock Android 2.2 tablet. Just install and forget.

Works fine on nexus one. Wish it would cycle all 3 modes, I prefer to keep wifi enabled when phone plugged into power.

Does what it says, i prefer this to all the others, nice elegant message when turning the wifi on and off. No ugly UI to look at ;)

Don't know how well it work yet, but it needs an indicator that it is running.

Solved problem with internet radio apps that stopped when phone went to sleep mode. Please make widget :-)

Fails for voIP over wifi. Optional icon in status bar would be convenient.

A. G. u. Sep 21, 2009     

Excellent.. i am not sure why this is not included by default. Must be application for wifi users. Suggestion : wifi over gprs should be bundled.

Nice effort, but doesn't work on Sony SK17i, but then nor do any of the others.

Works great on Samsung Moment & solved my internet radio prolems. Widget needs to change color/appearance to show whether wifi is default/always on.

i have deleat all my game and i still can't download this app and i think i can download back my game but canot:( !

Perfect for what it's supposed to do. Only 4 stars though cuz its a simple app. Hero user btw

On Nook, wifi stays on but will disconnect on idle, and WiFi Lock doesn't change that. Advanced Wifi Lock (free) keeps it connected for me.

Holds wifi better, but still disconnecting when phone screen goes off, when setting is 'never' n1

Works on samsung spica. Prevents 'leakage' of 3g bytes when phone is idling in wifi mode.
