Well, a new trend of apps have just hit the market.
Apps that help keep your wifi connection alive.You may have noticed that if you are connected to a WiFi connection, this will usually disconnect when the phone goes to ‘sleep’ this can be annoying especially if on reconnection he IP changes, or you are on a restricted data plan!
I’ve tried three of the free apps listed in the Market place.
WiFi Lock
Wifi Insomnia
Keep Wifi
Wifi Insomnia just had bad reviews, so I didn’t even bother with that! I installed both Wifi Lock and Keep Wifi. I’ve decided to keep ‘WiFi Lock’ as it’s a smaller app and just more simple. I strongly believe that with convenient apps like this you don’t need a fancy and heavy UI or any other options, just a simple on / off will suffice.
I’ve been using it now for about 3 hours, so far it’s kept me connected to my WiFi connection alive. Well done and thanks go to the developer Michael Elsdorfer.
