Zakus WiFi Profiles 0.3

Note:

This application is only supported on Android versions below 3.0. Starting from Android Honeycomb, the API underwent changes, resulting in some functionalities already being provided by the operating system.

For users who frequently switch between various WiFi networks that require static IP addresses, manually configuring network settings each time can be tedious and challenging.

This utility application simplifies the process by allowing users to store multiple sets of network (WiFi) configurations, including device IP address, gateway IP address, and more. Users can easily switch between these settings with just a couple of clicks, effectively enabling the creation and management of WiFi profiles.

This software is provided “as is” without any warranty.

• Profiles featuring predefined IP, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings, enabling quick switching between network configurations.
• A customizable widget to display current WiFi status and provide rapid access to the list of profiles.
• Automatic profile switching based on the name of the access point.
• Backup functionality for profiles to a storage device (SD card).

Known Issues:

Users are advised to avoid pressing the 'back' button or attempting to close the widget configuration activity. There is a known issue within the Android OS that affects all applications with configurable widgets. If widget configuration is canceled, the widget may not be added to the screen but will still occupy memory on the device. The only remedy for these 'zombie widgets' is to reinstall the application.

To avoid this issue, please complete the widget addition process without cancellation before manually removing it from the screen if needed.

Important Note: The application will launch in the background whenever you enable or disable WiFi or when a new access point is detected. This behavior is necessary for responding to these events but will only last a few seconds to update the widget or check for new access points. Users need not worry about performance or battery usage.

If you encounter any issues with the application, please remain calm and describe your problem in detail along with any actions you took prior to it occurring. Understanding your issue will help in addressing it effectively.
