Wi-Fi is a great feature to have on a BlackBerry but it does have some drawbacks. It’s one of the biggest consumers of battery power, especially when searching for Wi-Fi networks. There really was no way to work around this until now.
S4BB has developed an application that automatically turns off Wi-Fi when you leave your designated hotspot areas. SmartWifi will let you add up to 100 custom set Wi-Fi locations that are perfect for your home, office or any other place you use Wi-Fi frequently. SmartWifi takes data from cell towers to remember your set locations and activates or deactivates Wi-Fi when needed. In turn this helps save battery power because your BlackBerry is no longer constantly searching for new Wi-Fi locations. SmartWifi is available in our store for $4.99 and is compatible with devices running OS 4.3+.
Features:
- Remembers your saved WiFi locations.
- Up to 100 WiFi locations supported!
- Turns WiFi off when not needed: saves a lot of battery!
- Powers WiFi back on when you are back.
- Saves battery by avoiding your device to constantly check for available WiFi hotspot.
- Displays useful information: BSSID, SSID, Data Rate, Radio Band and Signal Level.
