Latest update [menu]
Added restriction for Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) as app can not run on this version of android.
Description [menu]
I recently faced a nasty problem with my device, I had to keep on re-entering the Wi-Fi key of a specific hotspot even if I had managed to connect successfully on previous attempts.
Also as I leave the Wi-Fi on most of the times, I started to get a bit uncomfortable when the device connected by itself to an Open Network (one of the many around my place) and got notifications (Adverticements).
I am sure I had connected before to that Open Network but did not bother to 'forget' it.
As a result, I created this app which helped me resolve the next problems:
a. Having to re-enter the Wi-Fi of certain hotspots by removing all instances of the same secured network that may have been mis-configured.
b. Slow loading time of Wi-Fi settings by maintaining a shorter list of configured networks.
c. Automatically forget Open Networks.
d. Assign a friendly name to a network (while being displayed in this app).
As an overall,
this app offers the possibility to forget (remove them from the configured list) Wi-Fi Networks (Open, Secured) from your device in a convenient way:
- (v.2.0) Assign Friendly name to a network (Touch the 'Name' label of the network).
- (v.2.0) Display the signal level of a network and be able to connect to it (Touch the 'Signal Level' indicator of the network).
- (v.1.0) Forget manually selected Open Networks with a few clicks (Favorites are excluded).
- (v.1.0) Forget manually selected Secured Networks with a few clicks (Favorites are excluded).
- (v.1.1) Automatically forget Open Networks when not in use (Favorites are excluded).
- (v.1.1) Mark a Network as 'Favorite' so that is not forgotten by mistake either manually or automatically.
No root access required.
Note:
Due to restrictions in Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), app can not run on this version of android.
