Wireless minder app for android description: wireless minder extends battery life by managing the wireless radios.
It shuts off unused wireless radios and periodically turns them on to check for a connection.
Think of it as an up periscope : if no connections are available the radio powers off but if a connection is available the radio stays on.
Example uses: upon leaving your home wifi disconnects but the radio continues to draw power when no wifi is in range.
Wireless minder shuts down the wifi and occasionally checks for a known wifi ap.
If you leave bluetooth disabled most of the time but have a hands free set in the car wireless minder turns it on so you dont have to manually enable bluetooth.
If bluetooth isnt already on when a call is made or received wireless minder quickly enables it so that the hands free set will be used.
For power users the mobile 3g 4g radio may be optionally shut down when wifi is connected.
Wireless minder automatically turns it on briefly to check for sms voicemails and other phone data.
A side effect is that calls and texts may be delayed or missed so use this with discretion.
Internet based messaging apps and voip calls will continue to work on wifi.
Android - 2 introduced restrictions for controlling the mobile radio.
To work around this wireless minder requires root privileges for this feature on newer releases of jelly bean.
Plans are in the works for new features and improvements.
