Wifi high performance widget for Android

Wifi high performance widget app for android description: This is a widget to enable disable wifi high performance mode on selected devices.
In other words by using the widget you can effectively disable the power management in the wifi driver of the phone tablet.
While certainly it would drain more power there are some advantages as well: - lowering latency.
If the wifi driver does not sleep the ap does not have to wait until delivering the data.
This is desired is many situations like ip voip calls via wifi audio streaming networked games (lower latency means better experience).
- Ensure wifi is running put into higher pm state even when the screen is off.
Again this helps when you do voip calls stream audio etc.
- Solving sporadic unreliable connectivity problems.
Root cause: some older wifi routers can 39 t reliably communicate with devices using wifi power management (they may actually sleep when the ap wants to send data).
It helps when your wifi can connect to the access point but the transfer is either very slow or unreliable (high packet loss).
This widget does not help if you can 39 t connect to the wifi access point at all.
- Simply speed up download transfer rate.
Ymmv.
The widget should work on all devices with android - 1 and higher.
In addition this was tested and found to work on samsung galaxy s ii (even with gingerbread).
Some users reported this also works with acer iconia and galaxy tab.
Other devices may or may not support this feature.
Please see for yourself.
Please leave comments rating if it age: add the widget to your home screen and tap on it to enable wifi and to activate deactivate the high performance mode.
If you don 39 t see the widget start the activity.
The widget should be properly listed afterwards.
Automatic toggle feature works using the following ruleset: - if wifi connection is lost or manually disabled disconnected the highperformance mode will automatically be disabled (if it was enabled) to save battery.
- If you reconnect to the last connected network
