Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Some networks, usually WiFi, will require you to login again after short periods of inactivity. This can be very disruptive if you are not actively using your connection, but still want to receive email or other push notifications when they arrive. This app will periodically download a tiny file to indicate that your connection is still active. THIS WILL NOT RECONNECT YOU TO THE NETWORK IF YOU ARE DISCONNECTED. THIS WILL NOT HELP IF THE NETWORK TIMES YOU OUT FOR ANOTHER REASON. Some networks have timeouts that are not based on inactivity. They could log you out at preset times, or for meeting a threshold of use. This app will not work for those cases.

Network KeepAlive APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Network KeepAlive APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is a8f0ee2167e215cb7da939ab6b7344ae.
