| May 18, 2017 at 17:22 | comment | added | xavier_fakerat | I just happen to have bumped into a similar scenario you wish to have: Tasker double WiFi activation with 'or' statement, it seems there are many possibilities to accomplish this....will update you once I finish testing my profile on this | |
| May 18, 2017 at 17:13 | comment | added | Kishan Patel | Tasker would be hard still i would find the code if possible,but you could always go for an 3rd party app | |
| May 18, 2017 at 17:09 | comment | added | xavier_fakerat | Yea, I get your point, so you want a workaround where you save preferred Wireless APs as some sort of variable right? Otherwise it would connect to one which requires log in . Let me check if I can figure it out here. | |
| May 18, 2017 at 15:49 | comment | added | KyleMit♦ | @mattm, but I'm now realizing that it only connects to those log-in blocked networks because they themselves are part of my list of saved networks. I'd either have to forget them, or individually name the networks I want to always enable WiFi | |
| May 18, 2017 at 15:47 | comment | added | KyleMit♦ | @mattm, the problem is when I have WiFi on while walking around, it will often get stuck at a log-in screen and interrupt wireless access until I've either logged in or turned off wifi. I find it generally easier to just have it turned off unless I'm at home (or list of similar locations where I trust the WiFi). | |
| May 18, 2017 at 15:47 | comment | added | KyleMit♦ | @xavier_fakerat, the goal is to enable WiFi when I'm near any network that I have saved and disable it everywhere else. | |
| May 18, 2017 at 15:42 | comment | added | mattm | How is using WiFi signals to determine whether you should "enable WiFi" different from having WiFi on to begin with? You will use saved WiFi networks when they are available, and scan in the background when not near a saved network. | |
| May 18, 2017 at 15:02 | comment | added | xavier_fakerat | If I am not mistaken, you dont have to necessarily specify the Wireless AP, this way all near Wireless APs are considered (with one having strongest signal choosen) given that there are saved in android system settings | |
