Wifi Switcher? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I would like to know if anybody knows an app that helps you customize the preferred network speed on each app you use? Like for example, I'm playing a game, I want my internet speed using 5g for that specific purpose and then I use like LTE/4g on the rest of the application that I use like social media apps and so on.
I found one named "Wifi Switcher by Cloudie Development" but I think its not available anymore.
I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you!

if I understood your question correctly, this application will help you.

Titanium SpeedCam pannel ??

Hi, Anybody knows if there is currently available a titanium panel for speedcam alerts?
If not, would anybody be willing to create one?
I have some ideas of how this could work, but I have no idea how to develop it..
here are some thoughts:
Condensed pannel:
- show the current speed and alerts from speedcams (when activated)
Activated pannel
1st page - on/off button and connectivity status
2nd page - current speed, speedcam proximity and alert, buttons to add and remove speedcam (2)
The speedcam information would come from a csv file loaded by the user..
something like this...
What do you guys think?
+1 great idea. Can't do it myself but hopefully someone can/wants.
Lets just hope that someone with developping skills take interest on this one..
Nobody interested in this?
up...
Would this be too complex to achieve?
guess not everybody knows what ur talking about ...
what is a speedcam? A camera to make highspeed videos (500 fps)?

I assumed this would be a known term.. This has nothing to do with the camera function of your mobile. It is related to the traffic cameras that takes pictures of your car when you exceed the speedlimit of a given street thus resulting in a traffic ticket.
Most GPS/routing applications (Garmin, Igo etc.) have the capability of showing alerts when you approach one (if you load the POIs for them). There are also some specific applications that also perform this function (RadarFree), however most are limited to a specific region and already have an automatic update function for the POIs of its speedcams locations which makes the app useless in other countries.
There are quite a few sites around the world that are currently tracking speedcam locations based on user inputs. These locations can often be downloaded on csv format (usually a few others as well) by everyone.
The idea of this pannel is to display the information you need straight from our homescreen without the need to open a different screen to load it, and also to allow the user to input his list of speedcams (this way it can be used in any country).
Let me know if there are still any doubts regarding this.
cheers.

whats the advantage of a titanium panel? This program will talk to you, and its worldwide, and FREE.

For one this application requires internet connection and you should have a reasonable data plan to be able to use it. Also this database isn't very updated in all countries.
The advantage of the pannel I'm suggesting is that it doesnt require an internet connection, the information will be easily displayed in your homescreen without the need to open an additional program which usually tends to lead to more RAM consumption, and you can use it anywhere you can download the information for.
Personally I see a lot of benefit in this when compared to the current solutions in place.
regards..
Another thing in comparison to trapster is that I don't need to see the map, I just want it to display the speed and the speedcam alerts. Such information would fit perfectly on a pannel in Titanium.
Try POI-Observer from navifriends.com
It's free, highly configurable, works standalone as well and will overlap any other window when approaching speedcam.
It's not however a Titanium panel but stays in background when no speedcam nearby.

Thanks for the suggestion SaBo, although it does have some of the functions I'm looking for it is not a simple tool to use. I actually needed to read the manual to understand how it works, plus I feel that you have put to much work to get it running.
I rather use something simpler, and would still like to see it in titanium..
tks
starting to loose hope here... really thought this would be a good idea for lots of you ...
Well... can't have it all can we?
refresh...
Added a poll just to see how many would be interested in such app...

App to display network traffic?

I want to have an app that displays every server the atrix is connected to, something like netstat but better.
I have seen lots of options on the market, like network monitor for example.
Have seen on other forums recommendations for: trafficstats, network monitor, etc
Anyone here uses one of these apps, what would you recommend? Thanks

3G Watchdog?
I haven't used it but have heard that Elixir does this as well...

i have 3g watchdog, it's very good as a data counter, and while it does say what data gets sent/received by app, it's not what i want. I want to know the addresses and ports of the current connections the phone makes, similar to netstat (which i already have) but with a nice UI (like for example, map what addresses are being used by apps)
You can use tráfic counter. Its very nice. And have wigedt
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I use "shark for root" and if you don't like the sark reader app you can export it to a full system with wireshark on it and use that to read the data file. I hope that helps because it's the only program that I can think of that does anything remotely close to what you want besides "overlook".

"Real" 3g on/off switch

Hi all
So I read it's not possible to have a widget that switches with one klick between 3g on and off (GSM only). In the market, there are only shortcuts to be found that lead me directly to that setting. I still have to leave my homescreen and do like 3 more klicks or so to chose and it takes time.
Is there a way to have a one-klick-switch when I'm rooted? If not, is it doable via custom roms? If so, which (good) ones do have it?
It doesn't seem to bother most people here, but on my iphone I had this and it extended my battery life A LOT as I keep 3g switched off for just cheking emails or messaging in whats app.
I use an app called "APNDroid". It changes your APN settings with a simple press.
There should be a Widget named "Power Control" installed that you can use (at least it exists with CM7 on my Optimus One P500)... while adding it you will be asked to chose the functions it's supposed to manage: just turn anything but 2G/3G and voilà: Your own little 2G/3G widget. (and no, it doesn't just take you to the options panel).
Great, that's what I was looking for! Now please tell me there is a free way to do this because of both Apps/Widgets mentioned I can only find paid versions!
I'm new to Android but this is something I'm beginning to hate For many many features that you could enable on a jailbreaked iphone for free you have to pay on android. Because of Cydia was kind of "illegal" ad only some users had it, stuff was mostly free. Here they throw everything in the market and demand money for it.
"Power Control" is free... well, at least it came with CM. If you can't find i I can just upload the APK.

That would be nice, I can only see "Power control Plus Widget" which is paid.
Danke!
Bitteschön.
Thanks. Any advice on where to put this on my card? I'm new to android so I don't know where those things go exactly

When I click it in the standard android browser, it says "The content is not supported on the phone. No application can be found to open this file". I downloaded it anyway and when i want to open the file it says "Cannot open file"
EDIT: Ok with the XDA app it recognised the apk file and I can open it. BUT, on top it says "News & Weather" and says this is an system application and if I want to replace it. Did you upload the wrong apk?
Whoops, possible... I've had a little trouble figuring out which apk provides the widget. I'll look into it.
and, found it?

[Q] Customizing the drop down bar.

First off, I apologize if this has been covered before in a thread. I spent about a half hour searching for my answer and was not able to either find it or understand which answer I was looking for.
I have in Taiwan a:
S3 GT-I9300
4.1.2
I9300XXELLA
3.0.31-899179
Rooted
No custom rom
(not sure what else you guys need to know)
I was simply curious if someone would point me in the right direction for the following problems. I use reverse tethering quite often with my smart phone as my office does not have WIFI and I enjoy watching sports games on my phone or listening to the radio broadcasts. I have a plan with a 5GB data limit and the video will eat that up pretty fast. So, whenever I use reverse tether, want to check for available wifi, or do any USB/Blue tooth tethering I have to go two or three menues deep into my settings and it's a tad annoying.
Is there a way I can customize the top drop down menu to replace some of the UI icons with ones that I actually want to use such as, "enable usb tether" or "see available wifi signals" or "turn on wifi hotspot?" I could remove Blocking Mode, or AllShare Cast as I never use them.
While I'm able to root phones (easy enough) I'm pretty clueless about custom Roms, how to use them, which ones are good, how to keep my phone protected when using them etc. There is such a huge amount of information about customizing the S3 on these forums, I just didn't know how to wade through it all to get the one customization that I want.
Again, sorry if I couldn't find the threat where this was discussed, and if there is a thread that answers this question well, I would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.
Cheers!
Not 100% sure, but maybe have a look into JKay Delux (you have to find the version for your firmware though). Otherwise another option could be to create a shortcut for your home screen via tasker that brings you directly into that menu.

Does tasker allow you to create shortcuts for any phone command? If so, that might be what I need.

if I am not wrong, most of them yes. At least it lets you control most of the functions (if you add Secure Settings PlugIn even more.)

Looking for Application that can block individual apps on specific wifi network

Hi guys, I'm looking for a way to block internet access for individual apps on my Home & Work wifi networks only, but not on other wifi networks and 3G...
I'm on 4.4.2 KK and usuing AppOps + Android fiewall, but non of these apps do what I need... Android fiewall for example allows blocking app from Wifi and no matter where...
if you know some app that allows this kind of thing, please let me know,
THANKS
I think you might have to use a combo. Something like this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.droidwall.free
+
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
+
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin
I believe there are some newer Tasker type apps that are free, but dunno about something like the Secure Settings plug-in. Now, I've never set anything up like this, so am only providing this as one possible method that I have not tested.
Ok thanks, I'll check Tasker, my friends recommended about this one long time ago...
about the way DroidWall is fine, but I'm using Android firewall which is based on DroidWall but is better...
