Request: Toggle Wifi
Hello.
Do we have any wifi off/on toggle button for harmattan? Just for save battery. |
Re: Request: Toggle Wifi
ten char, i want it too

Re: Request: Toggle Wifi
Similar functionality has Toggle PSM.
If PSM is enabled than Wi-Fi is automatically disconnected when it's no necessary. |
Re: Request: Toggle Wifi
yep, i'd vote for that

Re: Request: Toggle Wifi
Just tap the status bar. Although I don't see why you need to turn off to prolong your battery - I have WiFi/Network on permanently and get 2 days solid no prob.

Re: Request: Toggle Wifi
I'd like to have something where we can keep the wifi enabled but disable mobile data. Similar to what I can do in Symbian Belle on my N8. That way when I am near a wifi spot it can connect but when I am not near a wifi spot I don't necessarily want it using my mobile data.

Or Settings->Flightmode ;-) Harder way: you can just use iptables to drop all trafic to phonet0. |

Re: Request: Toggle Wifi
What would be nice is to be able to toggle background connections on or off easily

Put background connections off from command-line: Code:
gconftool-2 -s --type boolean /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/restricted_mode true Code:
gconftool-2 -s --type boolean /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/restricted_mode false Code:
gconftool -g /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/restricted |
Re: Request: Toggle Wifi
The value to this from my perspective would be acting as a workaround to the BT audio issues noted in other threads. According to the Bugzilla entry the performance issues are caused by sporadic WiFi scanning, and disabling WiFi would thus remove the problem.

my code is here https://bitbucket.org/jeffrey04/rest...dater_class.py EDIT: I am thinking on removing the heartbeat thingy (qsystemalignedtimer?) and subscribe to the event where connection is changed, but don't really know how to do it EDIT: btw, it is actually sort of possible to automatically turn on/off 'allow background connections' using ajalkane's profilematic app :) |

If you figure out how to do it so that it works, please post. I'm afraid it requires poking something with mce, and it may be blocked by aegis. But I don't even know what should be sent to mce. |

Re: Request: Toggle Wifi
AFAIK, you can't turn off your WiFi radio, unless you're in flight mode or maybe if you're in power saver. Even though you are not connected to a network, the Nokia N9 searches for available hotspots regularly (I don't know the interval).
To be honest, it's useless to turn off wifi. I've done some testing, and the impact it has on power consumption is shockingly small. Hell, my idle consumption when I'm connected to a wifi network is at 13mA, as opposed to 9mA when not connected. |

Anyway, would be nice to disable if possible. |
Re: Request: Toggle Wifi
Sounds like Meego OS is missing the REFREESH WiFi button on wirelles settings, is there any posibility of enabling that...
The other question about wifi is, how to reset or enable WiFi connection over 50m distance, like the N97mini i em able to connect to routers up to 400m. |
Re: Request: Toggle Wifi
Guys, I see you are looking for a 'Wireless Switch". You can go to the link: http://my-maemo.com/software/applications.php?fldAuto=1229&faq=32 and get this one. I have installed it a few days back and my N900 battery now lasts about 3 to 5 days!:)
