More thumb friendly definitly!

Can we edit the name of the connections, for example, if my wi-fi at home was called "SKY1234", can we change that too "Home" in the config file, will it still work?

You can change that from:
Settings>Internet connections>Connections
Just look for the access point and edit it's name.

Thanks for this most useful widget, I have 3 fav. connections (home, work and carrier) and I find this widget most useful.

However I'm not able to update/install the 0.3 version:
Quote:

Unable to install 'ConnectNow internet connection switch'
Application packages missing: libhildon1 (>=2.2.10)
I've also noticed that it can accidentally be clicked on during swiping.

Thanks

Hiya,

Thanks for the widget but is it intentional that pressing the widget doesn't do anything if pressed while the N900 is in Offline mode? I'm currently forcing it to do so with a call to MCE, but there probably are better ways...

There is normally a scan before a connection attempt (unless the AP is found in the cache) so probably no power savings here.

Yep, great app but it`s missing libhildon1 for the update.Do we just install the file manually and retry to update the app?

Thank you qwerty12, indeed a very usefull addition. This applet
can now switch to normal-mode before attempting to connect from
offline-mode.
And no, the prior behavior it was not intentional, I didn't know what would happen in offline mode.

@Bec: It is still not updateable, as the fremantle autobuilder uses
the PR 1.2 SDK.
