Advanced Wifi Lock (Free)

Advanced Wifi Lock is an app that has been designed to fix some problems with the connectivity of the Wifi net in Android. This tool forces the Wifi connection to stay on when the screen goes off, and it works in tablets and in smartphones.

This is a good app to solve the problem that some users have with their Android phones (usually older versions of Android) when they turn off the screen because of the wireless connection is disconnected. While this is used to save battery, it can also be a problem if we are in a long download, with an online game or other applications that require a constant and liability Wifi connection. For instance, this tool can be of great help for users of Ingress, who need a Wifi connection to be positioned really good in the portals.

Moreover, Advanced Wifi Lock also makes the Wifi to be disabled when we are out of the ratio of a connection, to save battery. It has also an optional timer so the machine is not active and with the screen on for too long.
