About Check Network APK
Table Of Contents
Description
This app periodically checks the network connection and reconnects if the internet cannot be reached. This can be useful if you have a device or provider that sometimes just drops the network connectivity without Android noticing it.If you have a limited data plan, you should be careful about the interval setting! Every check connects to google.com and downloads a minimal amount of data (approx. 5 kB) to be sure that the internet is really reachable.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ANDROID 4 OR NEWER: Google has changed the access level for applications which can write the APN settings in Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Normal apps are not allowed to change APN settings anymore - but if you have a rooted device, you can convert this app to a "system app" using Titanium Backup and still use it.
--------------------
This is an open source project, so if there is something you don't like, you are very welcome to contact me or even write some code yourself and contribute it. Please don't try to communicate with me via reviews, that doesn't work in both directions. Just write me an email, and I'll see what I can do.
--------------------
Important note: The app definitely won't send your personal data anywhere. Here's why the app needs the permissions it asks for:
- ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE / INTERNET: This app first checks the network using the methods provided by Android, but then also establishes a short HTTP connection (while only downloading a minimal amount of data) to make sure that the internet is really reachable. And when an error occurs, the app will send an error report to the developer via internet, so the issue can be fixed.
- CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE / CHANGE_WIFI_STATE / WRITE_APN_SETTINGS: When this app finds out that the internet is not reachable, it tries to reconnect the currently used link (wifi or mobile data). It needs these permissions to do that.
- RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: If your device reboots, it has to notify this app so it can continue to monitor the network connectivity.

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.
