Inetify is an ad-free Open Source tool providing two features related to Wifi networks:

* Give a notification if a Wifi network does not provide internet access

This can be useful if you have set up your phone to automatically connect to a Wifi network that requires authentication on a web page (a "captive portal").
Should you forget to authenticate, Inetify notifies you that there is no internet access.

It is also possible to manually test internet access and to ignore certain Wifi networks for the automatic check.

* Automatically activate Wifi when near a Wifi network and deactivate it otherwise (experimental)

This can help to save battery by deactivating Wifi when it is not needed, and avoid using mobile data while Wifi could be used instead.

This feature is experimental: Depending on the accuracy of localization, it may be unreliable. Inetify can use GPS, but this uses considerably more battery than network based locations, which can be very inaccurate.

The Wifi locations Inetify should look out for can be added to a list and viewed on a map.

Inetify runs in the background and tries to be very conservative on battery usage.

Recently changed in this version:

Possible crash in special situations, like when Wifi is disabled while it is connecting, should be fixed.

Thanks for the feedback!

The "Wifi Location" related features are still experimental and will probably always be: Network based locations are sometimes simply too inaccurate, GPS may use too much battery for a background service and doesn't work indoors.

    Does what it says on the box. Seems to work fine on Optimus V running 2.2. It would be nice if tapping the notification directly brought up the web browser so one could login (iOS style) with one less tap but good enough.

    Just what I needed @ my customers site and also often in hotels. Works perfectly on my Galaxy Tab. Thank you for sharing!
