WiFi(WLAN)-o-Matic Pro
WiFi-o-Matic Pro and WiFi-o-Matic primarily exists to conserve the battery life of
your smartphone, so that your smartphone can AUTOMATICALLY operate for
longer periods. It turns off WiFi, Bluetooth, mobile data traffic and/or automatic
synchronization when they are not needed, and back on when they are needed.
Main Features:
•
Automatic switch ON/OFF WiFi, Bluetooth and the mobile data traffic by
certain CONTROLS
•
Types of rules: SCREEN, CELL ID, TIME, LOCATION and OFFLINE BREAK
•
Helps to save energy
•
Protect the privacy

Secondly, it can also be used for anonymity on-the-go. With activated WiFi,
regular data packets with unique device identifiers are sent out. Sniffers can
interpret these and create a movement profile. Not everyone likes this.
Shutting down the different networks helps save your smartphone battery life a
ton. Currently, WiFi and Bluetooth (before 4.0LE) are often shown to be energy
guzzlers.WiFi-o-Matic provides various options (controls) to save energy. Some
controls can be defined by you, while others are self-defining. Aside from the
main goal of saving energy, the app can also be used to excellent effect to
automatically go OFFLINE - i.e. stop all data traffic - while maintaining phone
functions.
At the beginning, activate your Wi-Fi if you want to connect. WiFi-o-Matic will
remember that and the next time, when you in area, Wi-Fi is already enabled and
connected.
The app is divided into the sections STATUS,
NEW CONTROLS and SETTINGS. Under
STATUS you have an overview of which
controls are active. Here, changes can be
made to each control and WLAN-o-Matic can
be started or stopped.
In the NEW CONTROLS section, you can
newly define and save a TIME- or LOCATION
CONTROL.
Under SETTINGS you will find the app's
global settings, i.e. you can deactivate
AUTO-LEARNING.
The action bar provides the option to open
the WLAN-o-Matic menu (right), to refresh
the display and to exit the app (left).
Remember, however, that the app will close,
but not WiFi-o-Matic service.
WLAN-o-Matic offers the following controls: SCREEN ON/OFF, CELL ID, TIME
and LOCATION.
The following is valid: ON goes before OFF, with the exception of TIME-
and SCREEN ON/OFF control, in which case OFF goes before ON.
The SCREEN ON/OFF control is the most powerful control. It ALWAYS turns off
WiFi, Bluetooth, mobile data transfer and/or automatic data synchronization,
when the screen is turned off. When the screen is turned on, WiFi, Bluetooth,
mobile data transfer and/or data synchronization are, of course, reactivated.
The CELL ID control activates WiFi, Bluetooth, mobile data traffic and/or
automatic data synchronization when your smartphone is connected to a
particular mobile cell network. Strictly speaking, this control is position-
dependent. At home or at work - wherever there's WiFi where you can dial in or,
for example, a Bluetooth speaker is available - you are always connected to the
same transmission towers (cellular IDs). WLAN-o-Matic will automatically
remember and turn WiFi, Bluetooth, mobile data traffic or data synchronization on
or off.
CELL ID controls are only learned automatically by the app and cannot be
created manually. If no new CELL ID controls should be learned, you should
deactivate the option under SETTINGS. This control usually saves the most
energy and should be your first choice. Although the LOCATION control serves a
similar purpose, it requires a GPS signal which then consumes more energy.
Compared to the LOCATION control, the CELLULAR ID control is much less
accurate, but should be your first choice anyway.
The TIME control turns WiFi, Bluetooth, mobile data traffic and/or automatic data
synchronization on again within a set time period. You can even define individual
days. It would make sense, for example, to turn off your phone at night between
11PM and 7AM. This saves an enormous amount of energy in case you forget to
charge your smartphone overnight.
The LOCATION control is intended primarily for tablet owners who cannot receive
a mobile signal. It turns WiFi, Bluetooth, mobile data traffic and/or automatic data
synchronization on if you are in the vicinity of a previously defined position, or
from when you leave the area.
You can set this control under NEW CONTROL. You can set a marker on the map
by pressing and holding, which you can then move by pressing and holding.
Tip: Move the marker DOWN first and then left or right, to avoid scrolling through
the whole page.
Who does not want to be constantly OFFLINE, for the control OFFLINE BREAK
just right.\nOFFLINE BREAK interrupts existing CONTROLS and enable Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth, Mobile data and / or data sync. Duration and interval can be adapted
to individual requirements.
The Pro version can handle unlimited CONTROLS, additionally has 4 widgets and
has no advertising and the OFFLINE BREAK control.
