Premium features
WiFi Manager has several premium features, available for purchase for $1.75 as a single package right in the application using Google Checkout.
Important: Google will keep your order under your account, seemingly forever. This means you only pay once even if you later install new firmware / reset your phone / get a new one. The application will restore your existing order and activate again, as many times as necessary.
1 – Two new widget themes, inspired by Android 4.0, with transparency support.
|
These can be previewed for free by installing my Bluetooth Widget.
2 – You can use the WiFi Network Switcher widget to switch among your favorite WiFi networks with a single tap. The widget will enable WiFi if necessary, switch to a fixed or dynamic IP configuration as configured for that particular network, and connect.
|
|
3 – You can assign your own descriptions and icons (from a predefined set). You can also use fixed IP addresses with individual networks, which cannot be done with Android’s built-in settings screen (* IP switching applies only to Android 2.*).
|
|
You can use the assigned network descriptions in the widgets, in place of SSIDs assigned by someone else:
4 – You can exclude networks from the live scan list, which can be useful if your neighbors have routers too.

How to buy
All the above features are available for purchase right in the application, as a single “Premium” package, by using Google’s In-Application Billing technology. The purchase is safe, since it’s processed by Google Checkout. My application never ever sees your credit card information.
Hi Kostya,
I wanted to ask you to see if you were able to make the Dungeons in-app billing sample to work. I have been trying to make it work for almost 3 days, and I am really frustrated. There must be something that I am missing, or it is just that the Android Market Billing Server is not sending the responses that it should.
I saw in Google Groups, Andorid development Group, that you posted that you are having the same issue, were you able to figure it out? any progress on that?
I will keep looking into it, and if I find anything or make any progress I’ll let you know.
Thanks
Sebastian
No, still not working.
It worked two or three days ago, and now, without me making any changes, it fails in the same exact way: the purchase for “android.test.*” items is “succesfully sent to the server”, but nothing ever comes back.
muy bueno
I just buy a premium($1.75) by google checkout.
But when I want to change a password.
It still want me buy a premium licence.
Why?
An order takes some time to be processed by Google and reported back to the application. Usually less than an hour, but could take longer than that.
Please contact me over email — my address is in the About window in the program — so I can look into it.
ok~I had sent the mail.
New 2 all this. My Dell 2 yr old computer keeps messing up. Whent 2 Wifi on phone. Would like 2 buy $ 1.75 option, but I don’t even know how to get the passwords 2 connect to these networks. Help !
Jo,
If those 2 networks are your own, then you should already know the passwords, or be able able to change them to new, known ones.
If they are someone else’s, that’s illegal network hacking.
Thank you. As I said its new to me. I would never want 2 hack into some one’s account…… I understood that Wifi was about being able gto linnk on 2 o secure network for internet purposes. My Dell is new, getting 2 exspensive to service it every 2 weeks. I was hacked by my ex. Very bad ! Thx again!
Jo,
Try connecting your home WiFi router to a computer with a network cable, then open http://192.168.1.1 in the web browser there.
For most routers, you should see the configuration screen where you can change the password to a known one.

I click the “Buy with Google checkou” but nothing happens?
Pedro,
You are most likely using custom firmware that has an old version of Market.
Billing reqires Market 2.3+ (current version is 2.3.6).
Please contact the developers of your custom firmware so they update Market application. There will be many more applications using in-app billing shortly.
Had to wipe my phone, now can not get my paid premium verison back. Please advise Thanks
Paul,
The activation is automatic first time you access a premium feature after the reset.
When you do that, the program displays the pale blue “order” window again, but this time requests your existing order from Google.
If you’re still having trouble, please contact me via email (you can find it in Google Checkout, Market listing, the program’s About box).
Preciso
can you add proxy setting please?
Can’t.
Android proxy settings cannot be changed by third-party applications (only by the settings app built into the firmware).
A quick Market search for Proxy shows that proxy applications require root.
(^_^)
It would be good if I could use this feature on my tablet as well as my phone, I would be prepared to pay again, but unfortunately I’m not given that option.
It’s supposed to work, if you set up your Google account where you made the purchase on your other device.
I have reports of this working, using one order to run on a phone and a tablet.
It’s not necessary to enable synchronization of email or other Google services, just the account needs to be there. Might need to be the first one on that device.
Samsung Galaxy Tab has a Proxy setting on the IP setting screen. Is it possible for you to update the values over there along with the IP address assignment.
Not sure it’s possible.
The standard proxy setting (Settings.Secure.HTTP_PROXY) is read only for third-party applications, and even then I don’t know if Samsung uses this setting, or has their own, accessible only to their device’s Settings screen.
Ok … Let me do that research … Will let you know if I find anything
Want to buy the premium edition, but my Samsung Galaxy S II keep saying the purchase is not available.
Is it possible to buy directly from you ?
Ulrik,
Sorry no, the app supports only Google’s Android Market in-app billing.
This technology requires Android Market application on the phone to be version 2.3 or later.
Please see this, it should help:
http://market.android.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=190860
no Paypal？
No. Just Google’s in-app billing, built into Android Market since April 2011.
Everytime i push the pay at google app, the market starts loading but then disappeares and does not return. Please help me fix so i can get the premium wifi app. Your app is really great, is there anymore in this version asfar as network info or maybe a direct link to a sec code site or something like that?
The application does not control the purchase process, it just asks Market to process the order.
Make sure you have Market 2.3:

Hi,
This is the perfect app for every android device. Just purchased the premium features and its amazing!!!
It will be also nice if you can also add a proxy feature .
Thanks
Android does not allow 3-rd party apps to change proxy settings.
Am using the free version which I find very impressive. Quiet most impressive is your out-of-box technical support! Keep it up!
Thank you.
i do not owm any credit card acc would my debit card be acceptable. thanks.
Sandra,
A debit card that has a VISA / Mastercard logo and number and expiration date, the usual stuff, is as fine as a true credit card.
If the transaction doesn’t go through Google Checkout for any reason, the card won’t be charged, just funds reserved and released back in a few days.
Hi, can you set the proxy settings also for each network?
Thanks
Android doesn’t let third party applications change the proxy settings. At least until 3.0, where it seems possible, but not documented.
Como comprar licencia pues no está en el market?
No se puede, lo siento.
Is there a way to improve my wifi signal
Possibly, but not with WiFi Manager – it just isn’t involved in this.
One thing you can do is get a better external antenna for your WiFi access point / router.
スマホ大臣です！

I am unclear. I don’t mind buying. I want an app to include automatic connection to subscribed closed networks or any open network (ideally based on signal strength) so that if I’m in one of my protected zones or if in an open zone on the road, I’d just like it to connect without further effort. Is this part of the paid features?
Bill,
Regrettably, there is no such feature in WiFi Manager. There is a way to discover open networks around you, but connections are not made automatically.
I leave my wifi on when going from home to work, it disconnects from my home and connects to my saved wifi when at work. So it doesn’t select the strongest and connect but does auto connect to saved networks in different zones if wifi is left on. It works great for me; not sure if that helps.
Will your application fix the problem I am having? My phone connects to wifi then keeps scanning while connected making using wifi impossible every time it scans which is like every 3 seconds
It won’t. The actual connection process is performed by Android, and my app has no control over that.
I’m trying to find out if your software will list multiple access points with the same ssid on the same network? I looked for this feature but can’t seem to find anything.
WiFi Manager doesn’t differentiate among networks with the same SSID.
I want to disable broadcasting my SSID. Will the app allow an android device to remain connected and to reconnect at my command?
Android’s support for hidden networks is somewhat unreliable. Besides, they don’t offer much in terms of security. Just think about this: if your device can find a hidden network, so can other people or apps.
Now if you still want to try it:
First, reconfigure your router / access point
Second, tap on the network in WiFi Manager and select forget (if it’s already configured)
Third, use Menu / Add Network to add the network back, and make sure to select the “Hidden SSID” option
Hallo ich habe ein mega PROBLEM UND ZWAR ,ICH KOMM NICHT MEHR ÜBER W LAN VERBINDUNG REIN OBWOHL Es VOR HER IMMER GING ! UND IN DEINER APP STEHT SOGAR DAS ICH VERBUNDEN WÄRE . BITTE BITTE HELFEN SIE MIR MFG T.JANUS
Umm, English please? Google Translate didn’t help much.
Rather than credit card, is there any way to just mail you a couple dollars in the postal system?
That would take a really long time since I’m in Russia, and would be pointless since I won’t have a way to deposit the check
Sorry.
Hi, would I be able to make my tablet switch automatically between my router and my range extender based on which signal is stronger if I bought the premium app? Right now I have to turn the wifi off and back on in order to make it connect to the stronger signal. They both hqve the same SSID’s. Thanks
Yes, Android does this… holds on to the current access point as long as possible.
As to my software – that feature is not there, but I might implement it in the future.
Thanks
Glad to have done business with you!!
Hello.
I’m trying to buy Wifi Manager premium features but Google Play had an error during the purchasing process, I got back my money but when I try the purchase again within the app (custom way from Info>About premium features), it keeps telling me “cheking for an existing order”. I’ve checked Google Wallet and the order is shown as cancelled. How can I get the app again?
Thank you in advance.
Gregorio,
You’re dealing with Android Market / Google Play / whatever it’s called these days, and can be like that.
I see your order and it’s indeed canceled. I can’t do anything with it at this point.
You can try placing a new order. The purchase button in my app stays enabled to allow this. Whether it works or not depends on Google, not me.
Oh, one more thing.
If my purchase screen is stuck at “Your order is being processed by Google”, you can either reinstall the application or wait for it to time out.
The timeout is 4 hours.
It’s fine. I’ll try it later or maybe in a few days, because it is one of the most useful apps I’ve got in my phone
Muy bueno
Exelente
Hello
I have the problem that the WIFI manager widgets do not work correctly.
When connected to a network the widget shows the state as NOT CONNECTED
The WIFI NETWORK SWITCHER widget shows the state in red and not in green when connected.
I have a samsung galaxy i9001 plus with gingerbread.xxkq7 version 2.3.6
what can I do ?
regards klaus
Klaus,
This is a bug in Samsung’s firmware for the i9001. I’ve already investigated this with another user. If you’d like to know more, you can contact me via email.
Check it out wifi manager is the ish
I like it
What about proxy and port?
For Android 3.0 and higher, yes, and it’s free.
For Android 2.*, no, since third party apps are prohibited from modifying the proxy settings for security reasons.
