When you are in an environment with a Wi-Fi connection, then it is the preferred way to access the internet on your cell phone. Despite its convenience, forgetting this type of active connection when the device is no longer in use can cause your battery to run out quickly.
Android, by default, does not have an efficient mechanism for automatically disabling the Wi-Fi connection feature, making the smartphone even though not connected, look for a network to access. Here’s how to make your Android Wi-Fi turn off automatically for some situations.
Important
As stated above, to perform this task of automatically turning off Wi-Fi is not native to the system. For this, you will need to get a free app that is available on Google Play.
Getting the application and doing its setup
- Go to Google Play and download the Better Wifi On / Off app ;
- When you open the program for the first time, tap “Dismiss” and then click on the icon indicated in the image below to access your options;
- Slide the options menu down and enable “Expert mode”;
- At this point, you will be back to the app home screen. So touch the icon once more to enter the “Options” of the program and check the “Off When screen off” option.
Ready! At this time, every time your phone is locked or your screen is turned off, Wi-Fi will be disabled, saving some of the device’s battery. Finally, you can also leave the “Start on boot” option checked, which will cause the application to start up with the system so that it does not have to be manually initialized every time the phone is turned on.
