Welcome to the RadioControl wiki!

RadioControl is an android app that auto toggles wifi and cell radio for maximum battery life

FAQ

Q: The app isn't switching wifi/airplane mode on/off

A1: Check to make sure that you have root access, and that your Su manager app is allowing RadioControl to run root commands

A2: Try toggling the on/off switch in the main screen

Q: I entered my SSID but the app isn't working

A: Sorry about the bad wording in the app(Fixed in v3.0). When you connect to a WiFi network, the app checks the entered SSIDs. If the current SSID matches the one in the list, the app pauses execution. It runs automatically, and usually, most people don't need the SSID disabler unless a certain WiFi network doesn't support VoIP or SMS over WiFI

Q: The app crashes when trying to switch airplanemode/wifi

A: Open the navigation drawer(swipe from the left) and click settings. Click network settings and then press OK when a dialog shows up. It should start working without crashing (Fixed in v3.0)

Q: I'm having a problem with Bluetooth disconnects, or other airplane mode related problems

A1: Download the latest beta, and go into settings and enable Alternate root mode. This should only disable the cell radio and has nothing to do with airplane mode

Q: I'm having a problem with the above solution and my radio won't enable

A1: Disable the alternate root mode and toggle airplane mode to fix any problems. Contact me and let me know your device and OS. If possible, give me a log cat reading for RadioControl

Q: What even is the alternate root mode?

A1: It runs a command that disables the cell radio, basically like taking out your SIM card when connected to WiFi, then reconnecting it when you lose WiFi. The standard command enables Airplane mode which for some reason disables Bluetooth for some users.

Q: What is Intelligent mode and how does it work?

A1: Intelligent mode is a persistent service that runs in the background that keeps the detection code awake. This is used for devices running Nougat+. Due to changes in the code, the old way the app worked doesn't function as reliably as it should. This mode should fix those issues.
