Just wondering if there are any lock screens that can be automatically disabled when on a trusted wifi connection? For example if I'm connected to my home router or friends router is there any lock screen that can automatically disable itself and turn back on when it is disconnect from the network? It would be nice to not have to enter a pin when at home but have protection when away.

Hi all. just got my Galaxy S and its a great phone.
One of the annoying part is that whenever the phone goes to standby mode, it connects to Edge network (E is displayed on top). It seems like whenever WI-FI is not available it always connect to Edge network.
Can I set it to connect to Edge network or WI-FI only when there is explicit request from the user?
yes 2G and 3G works even when the phone is in power saving mode for the push emails and other data syncs
WiFi only works when the phone is awake
but there is a fix for that some where in ths forum
Go to your Wi-Fi settings, open up the Menu->Advanced. Set sleep policy to never. Then you'll always have your wi-fi and the phone shouldn't need EDGE for data, unless you moved too far away from the access point.
Install "JuiceDefender" it will turn off net access when screen is off
So I'm a big Tasker user and I use a 7" Android Tablet in my car as my "infotainment system." I have a Tasker profile that when connected to my Car's Bluetooth, turns on Wifi Hotspot and upon disconnection, turns off Wifi hotspot. I noticed that HotSpot was turning on without a problem, but not turning off.
I also have a Widget Button to toggle WiFi Hotspot on/off. Again, it will turn it on, but it doesn't turn it off. As a test, I also used the app Llama and added an action to turn Wifi Hotspot on and another to turn it off. Again, it was able to turn it on with no problem, but when trying to execute the "off" it gave me the error message "WiFiAccessPoint may not be supported by your phone."
This is really annoying since the only other way to turn it off is to go into phone settings, then More, then Wifi Hotspot, then untick "Hotspot" to turn it off.
Besides wondering if this is working on anyone else's phone, I'm wondering if anyone knows where to write or post such bugs for the Moto programmers to see...
FYI - So I found another bug related to this same issue. Besides 3rd Party Apps (Tasker, Widgetsoid, Llam, basically any app that toggles settings) not being able to turn WiFi off, IF they are used to turn it on then turning it off inside settings will not automatically turn Wifi back on as it should.
If you turn HotSpot on via the Moto HotSpot settings then turning it off will automatically cause wifi to turn back on.
Hoping Moto fixes this issue and allows full toggling of HotSpot via 3rd Party apps as this is really killing my automated in-car hotspot.
Hello,
would you please kindly help me resolve Tasker issue I have on my rooted MIUI Mi4c running MIUI 7 by xiaomi.eu 6.1.21, 5.1.1 android.
I made a Home profile, that enables itself, when I'm connected to my home wifi (based on my SSID).
So I have "State" type profile - Wifi Connected.
I have following action to be performed when profile is activated:
1. Pattern Lock Disabled (via Secure settings) - So I don't have to unlock my phone while at home.
I have following actions to be performed when profile is deactivated (I disconnect from WIFI), when leaving home:
1. Pattern Lock Enable.
2. Disable WIFI (to save battery, when I'm away from my home wifi).
The problem is though, that since 2 weeks ago, it seems as the "disable" actions of my home profile is randomely from time to time activated - meaning, wifi keep switching itself off. I thought there is some problem with my router, but as soon as I removed wifi off action from profile, wifi no longer keep switching itself off.
I cannot see anything wrong from with my profile, nor can I see anything useable in Tasker log.
Any idea what's wrong? Or how to mend this?
Thanks in advance !
I've been playing with Bixby Routines and can't figure out exactly how they work. For example, if I have a routine called At Home that says:
IF wifi connected to "mynetwork"
THEN turn off bluetooth, turn off auto-sync, phone lock off
Now, if I am at home (and connected to the "mynetwork" SSID), everything works. But if I leave home and become disconnected from "mynetwork," does this routine toggle those settings? The only IF action available is "Connected to..."; there is not a "Disconnected from..." option. If this routine doesn't toggle those settings, how do I create a routine that acts when the wifi connection is broken?
Profile Home: if I'm near my home WiFi do Task Home.
Task Home: set data transfer to Off, set WiFi to On, say "Welcome home" and set Profile Home to Off.
What happens?
When setting profile Home to Off wifi is immediately switched off too.
Why do I want to set Profile Home to Off?
Moving around the house causes me to lose or switch between Wifi's (I've got an extender). This in turn runs Profile Home over and over again with all consequences.
Any ideas for a remedy?
Why does setting the profile to off switch the wifi off too?
Thnx.
