0.8.0.4 soon!

Wifi Fixer 0.8.0.4 is in testing. Should be on the market before the end of the week.

Thanks again to those sending me logs with details. Sorry if I haven’t been able to answer in a timely fashion. I’m juggling multiple projects these days.

0.8.0.4 will contain:

• Bugfix for http check not timing out
• Bugfix for service not starting on timer after boot on some roms
• Service now handles all scan requests (was doing scan for UI in activity code)
• New status notification code: efficiency, compatibility
• status notification theme setting removed

0.8.0.3.2

Working on the final bits of 0.8.0.3.2, going to testing early next week, hopefully.

Sorry about the wait.

Wifi Fixer 0.8.0.3.1

Wifi Fixer 0.8.0.3.1 Released to market.

Bugfix for a pesky notification bug causing crashes for some.

If you have an Application Not Responding or Force Close in Wifi Fixer, please contact me via email.

The stack traces from the market are useful, but only provide part of the picture.

Update

Thanks to a new proguard configuration, got some useful stack traces from the market console: looks like I found the source of the force closes caused by my notification library.

Testing a fix, uploading tomorrow if it tests out.

Honeycomb optimization is in the works, but that will be the 0.8.0.5 revision, most likely.

Edit: 0.8.x will function fine in Honeycomb. The layouts are just ugly.

Wifi Fixer 0.8.0.3

Wifi Fixer 0.8.0.3 is on the market. Bugfixes and enhancements.

Full changelog

Honeycomb compatibility

I’ll be looking into Android 3.0 (honeycomb) compatibility after 0.8.0.3 is released.

Right now, there are UI issues, to say the least.

The 3.0 emulator is horrifically slow, so I’d like to get a 3.0 tablet to work on, but $800 is a bit much.

Edit: I got a Motorola Xoom, love it. Already working on the layout issues.

0.8.0.3

I’m testing 0.8.0.3, which will include better memory use with the status notification on low-spec devices, and an adjustment to http timeout which should help people with networks having a lot of interference.

Edit: 0.8.0.3 has been delayed, found a bug that needs to be fixed and rolled in.

Public Intents: What are they for?

Wifi Fixer 0.8.x has a list of public intents which it honors.

As a user, this allows you to use several apps on the market to control Wifi Fixer, telling it to turn wifi off or on, toggle wifi, enable or disable the service. You may, for example, wish to have Wifi Fixer disable the service when you go to sleep, and also disable wifi to conserve power, then restore both when you wake up.

As a programmer, it lets you gain exclusive use of WifiManager, if you need it, by disabling the service.

Status Notification

The new Status Notification in 0.8.0 was added with the intent to address the single biggest complaint with prior versions of Wifi Fixer: “I can’t tell what it’s doing!”

This feature is turned on by default, but can be disabled in Wifi Fixer’s preferences, under Notifications.

Wifi Fixer 0.8.0.2 Release

0.8.0.2 fixes all known sources of force closes

Bugfix: ArrayIndexOutOfBounds
Bugfix: null WIDGET_KEY
Bugfix: null ContentIntent

Thanks to those who sent data.

Also, thanks to Google for adding error reporting to the market console: makes my job a lot easier.
