About WiFi by GPS (Battery) APK
Table Of Contents
Description
NOTE: New Android versions (>= KitKat 4.4) support this natively, so you don't need this app. Instead look for the "Scanning always available" (usually on by default) in the Advanced WiFi settings.Are you short on battery life-span? Do you want fast geolocation from Google? Do you find yourself manually turning on WiFi when using a map?
This app will enable WiFi as long as an app requests GPS location (which means it wants your position).
On my smart watch, it meant saving a lot of battery while still getting approximate location quickly.
Android uses WiFi networks (even without actually connecting to one) to estimate your location, when GPS is not yet available. This estimation is pretty accurate in urban locations. But keeping the WiFi on all the time consumes a lot of battery, and toggling it all the time when using Google Maps is frustrating.
Why a notification? Android often kills background services that don't display a notification because it thinks they are not constantly needed. Since this app is mostly required when the device is most stressed, we'll need that to keep the service alive.
Does it consume battery running all the time? No. All this app has is a sleeping service, waiting for applications to request GPS location. It does not do anything while it waits, the operating system will wake it as soon as it's needed.
Why "Low Maturity"? GPS permissions is not for kids...

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
