wifi-widget's Issues

IPv4 Local Showing Incorrect IP Address & Subnet

IPv4 local address is showing an incorrect address. The widget is showing 10.0.0.2/32 instead of the correct IP address of 10.0.0.14/24.

My phone is a SM-975u.

Option To Hide Buttons on Widget

An option to hide all the buttons on the widget, and also just tap the entire widget to refresh it would be nice.

Dark theme

Please add the dark theme to the settings page.

   Explanation for issues of type "Instantiatable":

   inner class.

Could you please take a look?

Hide labels (instead of wrapping lines)

Screen space is scarce. :-)

I'm using a widget showing only SSID and link speed. If the labels ("SSID" and "Link Speed") weren't there, the widget would only take up half the space.

Personally, I'd be truly happy with a switch allowing to turn off the labels. But maybe the labels could automatically get hidden instead of wrapping lines, i.e. when running out of horizontal space?

Add option to show Wifi name

[Feature Request] Treat ULAs as local addresses and enable individual en-/disabling of address sub categories

I get three IPv6 addresses - a link-local address (fe80::/10), a unique local address (fd00::/8) and a unique global address (2000::/3). The link-local address always shows up as the "Local" one, but the unique local and unique global addresses sometimes switch between "public 1" and "public 2". Could the addresses be sorted lexicographically before assigning them to "public 1" and "public 2" so that I can reliably see my global address without having to have both displayed?

Edit Widget Text Color

The ability to adjust background, and text colors on the widget would be nice

Adjust Size Horizontally

The ability to stretch the widget horizontally would be appreciated

Edit Widget Opacity

The ability to adjust widget opacity would be very nice

removing all "Buttons" options still makes a bar that blocks data on the widget

Hello,
If all the checks are removed under the buttons section, there is still a bar. This can block data from being displayed depending on number of lines. In my case 3 lines. With my current setup I either have to have a large excessive block on the bottom or small widget with scroll bar and small block on the bottom. This is on Samsung 24 ultra android v14, one UI v6.1, app v1.4.04.
Maybe this is more suggestion than bug but maybe this bar should go hidden if all deselected. Thanks for the app :)

Labels

Labels aren't displaying correctly font is only 50% showing

Public IP Broken

When Public IP is checked and IPv6 is disabled the widget still shows both the IPv6 and IPv4 addresses, the same if IPv6 is checked and IPv4 is unchecked both are still shown.

This feature is currently broken.

toggle wifi

option to toggle wifi in 1 click

The dynamic colors are not working correctly.

How to understand this and why it does not work my system: android 14 and one UI 6.1 device samsung s22 ultra, on my tablet s6 lite with one UI 5.1.1 no such problems. P. S for both situations launcher is Nova.

Why does WiFi Widget need Internet access?

Hello,

on https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.w2sv.wifiwidget/ I have seen that WiFi widget has permission have full network access. Is this necessary? Why does WiFi Widget need internet access? Is the WiFi data not read locally?

feature request : create aliases for bssids

Hi,
i mostly use your APP for checking which access point i am connected to, in a network with multiple AP sharing a ssid.

I would love to be able to save bssids with user defined aliases to see quickly if my phone connects to the nearest access point.
It would make this app even more useufull when optimising WiFi infrastructure.

Widget shows another ip address when setup a VPN via TUN device

~ $ ifconfig

widget presents the ipv4 address as 172.19.0.1 when VPN enabled via TUN device (such as clash).

Is it possible to select the specified port to show the address?
Or filter out the tun port directly?

Display BSSID

Would it be possible to display the base service set id currently in use? See

Frequency order of magnitude error

There seems to be an error with the order of magnitude of band frequency. For me it's being reported as 2.4 KHz instead of 2.4GHz.

[Feature Request] Show public IPv4

Would be great.

All fields stuck at "Loading..." since latest update.

All fields in the widget display a dark grey "Loading..." instead of the intended information. If I manually click to refresh, the timestamp updates, but no information is shown.

Widget not resizable in width

Hi,
I installed the app on my device with Android 13, but I encountered the following situation.

I can't resize the widget to make it larger, in fact there is no blue dot on the left and right borders. This, as you can see, causes the break of the labels on the left.

Bug Report

Can not update; get message: "Error Installing WIFI Widget"

The privileged permissions have not been granted to the extensions! Please create bug report.

So here it is what else do you need?

Opacity Settings is Changing

When cache is cleared Opacity settings is getting reset

Show device MAC

Recent versions of android have an option to randomize the interface MAC as a privacy measure. It would be worth displaying the present value since this can be used e.g. to look up router and switch port state for connections.

Thanks

Feature request: IPv6 support

Currently the widget only shows the IPv4 information. It would be nice if IPv6 information (addresses, mask, gateway, DNS) would be displayed as well.

APK availability

First a big thanks for making your app available F/LOSS under a libre license! Would you also consider making the APK available outside Google's walled garden, for those who have no access to it? Easiest way would be attaching it to the corresponding release. Thanks in advance!

SSID is not displayed

Hello,

I am on Android 13 and the app has Location Permission, but the SSID is still not displayed.

When I click on "Pin Widget" and then "Go ahead" only at the beginning came a Location dialog where I clicked Allow. The widget is added without SSID.

App version: 1.2.0
