Known Issues:
Task Killers
Important: Wifi Fixer's wifi health monitor service
can be rendered
inoperable by task managers and auto task killers.
It is strongly recommended that you do not use Wifi Fixer with this
kind of software, but if you must, add WifiFixerService and LogService
to the allowed list.
Too Many Networks
Important: Having too many Known Network entries
can slow down your phone and burn significantly more battery.
This is an Android issue. If you have more than 10, try to
remove unused or infrequently used networks.
Unable To Scan for Networks
On the original Samsung Galaxy and a few other devices, Wifi may become
unable to turn on without the message " Unable To Scan For Networks "
displaying.
At this time wifi may become unusable.
It can be fixed either by removing all your wifi network entries then
rebooting the device or going into Settings:Privacy and doing a factory
reset
Note: You will lose all your settings if you perform a factory reset.
Unfortunately, this is a temporary fix. In order to solve the problem
permanently it may be necessary to root your device and install a
custom rom.
Wifi Sleep Policy
On some devices, Wifi Sleep Policy appears to be ignored when the
screen is off.
This is caused by wifi power save mode, which is not compatible with
some wifi access points/routers.
There is a workaround, "Nexus One Sleep Fix", in Advanced Options
which may help.
Note: The workaround will temporarily disrupt the wifi connection when
your screen goes off.
Set Wifi Usability to Max Wifi before enabling the workaround, and set
Wifi Sleep Policy to Never
Cyanogen Mod 6 and above have a driver fix for this issue:

Known Networks
The Known Networks panel may not show any networks
when wifi is disabled.
The network list cannot be loaded when wifi is off on pre-Honeycomb
devices.
Other Wifi Apps
Wifi Fixer may conflict with other apps that talk
directly to the Android wifi manager. Try disabling the service
when using conflicting apps.
Hidden SSIDs
Android is not able to work properly with wifi
networks using hidden SSIDs.
If your network is set to non-broadcast SSID, you will have to change
it to broadcast.
Why can't I change time between scans/checks?
Because these values can have a profound effect on
battery life, the timing has been balanced for maximum responsiveness
with minimal battery use by the manufacturer.
There is no benefit to user control of these
values.
Why can't I add my network using Local Networks?
Only Open/WPA/WPA2 is supported at this time in
Local Networks. You can use the Android settings app to connect and
then the network will appear in Wifi Fixer under Known Networks.
