General :: How To Disable Active WiFi Probing

Mar 25, 2014

there is a way to more selectively manage probing requests in android. I am always forgetting to turn off my wifi when I leave the office/home and don't really like the idea of my phone broadcasting so much info about me in the requests (esp when i don't need wifi). I have been looking for settings but didn't find one and was thinking about an app perhaps that maybe can turn wifi off based on location (though i guess that would need gps which would be another issue?). I would settle for something that turns off wifi once it is out of range of a certain point (like home or work) for a certain period of time, then i could just turn it on manually when I am say at a cofee shop or whatever (and maybe it could turn off again when that point gets out of range).

General :: Xperia Active - How To Disable Lockscreen Without App

Apr 21, 2012

I want to disable the lockscreen.

There are several apps that do this but they all have a side-effect:

When they run pressing the volume-buttons will turn on the screen and i dont want that.

I know that CM-Roms have this feature built in but they have terrible battery-life.

Im using a Xperia Active with Spartan ROM (based on stock rom).

General :: How To Enable Active WiFi Scanning

Apr 18, 2012

I'm trying to enable the active scanning mode on my HTC Desire but still got no luck. I've forced Android and wpa supplicant to go in to active mode. I've retraced this and the forcing works but when wpa supplicant tries to set the driver in active mode it always got set in passive mode and I can't force it in to active mode.

Any way to force an android device to scan active for wifi networks? It doesn't mind if It's on another device. I'm desperate to get it to work.

And I know it's not power efficient but that's not the goal. The only goal is to scan as fast as possible. Scanning in active mode should make this possible.

General :: Disable Camera / WiFi And BT

Jul 12, 2012

My shop has been approved to buy tablets to hold our tech data to work on equipment. The only issue is they cannot have camera access, wifi access or Bluetooth. This is just to insure that people don't end up bringing them home, loading a bunch of games on it and bringing it back to work. Its strictly going to be for PDF files and Pictures of configuration stuff. I was wondering if there was a Device administrator apk out there where I can just select these options to disable. I know my way around android as with rooting and what not, but when it comes to dev I am completely clueless.

General :: How To Disable Auto-update Under Specific WiFi

Jan 2, 2014

I am a newbie to Android world. Recently I bought a Freedompop (which gives you 500MB free data every month) and I wanna use it with my Nexus 7 as a GPS/infotainment system on my car. However, I want to disable App/system auto-update under Freedompop WiFi on my car (Freedompop actually works like a tethering point), but still enable it at home (so I can still get some updates and I won't forget to turn it off when I get on my car). Is there any app will do that? Or any tricks?

General :: Disable Mobile Network When WiFi Connected

Mar 4, 2010

I am looking for an app that automatically switches off the cellular radio when wifi is connected and switches it back on when wifi loses connection. I'm not talking about the APN data connection which already does that, I'm talking about the regular cell phone connection.

According to my lack of results searching through the forums, Market, and Google, such an app does not exist yet. Currently the best app I've found to do anything remotely like this is the Airplane Mode Wi-Fi app, which is a manual switch and a slightly cumbersome one at that, not nearly good enough for how often I go in and out of wifi.

The reason I ask for this is because I use Google Voice with SIP and a prepaid plan. I want to use SIP as much as possible to save my prepaid minutes for when I really need them. When wifi and cell are both connected with Sipdroid running and I receive a call, they both ring at the same time. To be sure I don't accidentally use prepaid, I usually reject the call and call back over SIP, which is slightly annoying for both me and the caller.

General :: WiFi Uses WPA2 - How To Disable Credential Storage

Jul 14, 2011

My university WiFi uses WPA2 Enterprise for security and we authenticate using the following settings:

EAP Method: PEAP
Phase 2 authentication: MSCHAPV2
CA Certificate: Thawte Premium CA
and identity and password being our student credentials.

I've copied that from an old unanswered thread because I have a similar issue.

How do I disable Credential Storage so I don't have to re-enter the password every time I'm back on campus. Since I'm back and forth multiple times each day, I end up having to re-enter it constantly. On my home network I used WEP, and the HTC Inspire I use connect automatically.

I'd like to be able to connect automatically to the university network as well.

Android :: WiFi Enabled AND Active - Launch An Intent

Nov 28, 2009

This is what I would like to do: => IF WiFi is enabled AND active, launch an intent (in fact it's a WebView that gets its content=>the instructions of my app on the web) => IF NOT, then I would launch another intent so that I don't show a WebView with "Web page not available ... The Web page at http://www.mywebsite.com might be temporarily down or it may have moved ..."

I tought initially to use

if(wifi.isWifiEnabled())

but that does not say if the Wifi connection is ACTIVE or not. It says only that the user has turned the switch on. The device may or may not be connected... Is this correct ?

Then I tried to use :........................

General :: Galaxy S3 - Disable (Connected To WiFi Network) Notification

Jun 11, 2013

I have a Galaxy S3 on the Bell Mobile network in Canada, and aside from the horrendous battery life, it's a pretty good phone. One thing I notice that's kinda annoying is the "Connected to Wi-Fi network [network name]" pop-up that comes up quite often. I've managed to snap a screenshot of it.

How to disable this? The only info I've found so far is on the Verizon pop-ups, and entering the *#6335623# code on the dial screen, but nothing comes up when I try that, and I'm not even sure that fix would work for this.

Jelly Bean :: Android 4.3 - Restricted Profiles - Disable WiFi Entirely / Turn Off WiFi

Sep 24, 2013

I don't own an Android 4.3 tablet yet but I need to know the following things.I wanted to restrict my device so that a user is unable to change any settings (in particular turn on/off WiFi) and disable all applications except one.How strict is the restriction?

If I disable all apps except one what will the restricted user be able to do?

In an ideal scenario I'd like the restricted user to do only 3 things:

a) turn the tablet on/off

b) turn the application of my choosing on/off

c) all other options would be disabled

d) the restricted user should NOT see any data of the administrator

General :: Nexus 5 - Disable Pattern Lock With Home WiFi Need Root?

Feb 9, 2014

I'm loving my Nexus 5, my first Android phone. I use Pattern Lock. I want to disable Pattern Lock when I'm at my home wifi. I did some research and it looks like apps can only turn off Pattern Lock when the phone is rooted. Is this true? I don't want to root my phone and I'd rather not have to enter Pattern Lock a hundred times a day.

General :: Permanently Disable Cellular Data / Voice Modem As Well Leaving WiFi Enabled

Feb 12, 2014

Radio Shack had this phone on sale for $14 cash this weekend, I picked up a couple of them to setup to use for WiFi text/music/YouTube phones for my kids.

I have rooted them and now just want to get rid of the Virgin Mobile automatic profile update that attempts to happen when I power on the phone. If possible, I would like to permanently disable the cellular data/voice modem as well leaving WiFi enabled. What app I should disable/ remove through titanium backup to do this?

I have absolutely no intention of ever activating these phones for traditional cell service. They will strictly be used as WiFi android devices. Basically a cheapo alternative to an iPod.

I have set the phone for airplane mode and then enabled WiFi to prevent them from making calls, this is a reasonable solution but they could turn on the cell radio and start trying to activate, although they wouldn't get far as they don't have a way to provide payment anyway.

Problem is their mother isn't the brightest and when they are away at mom's, I would like to be able to text them and not be on the phone with her troubleshooting them constantly.

Motorola Droid X :: Disable 3G While Using Wifi

Aug 4, 2010

I just received my new Droid X yesterday and so far I'm loving it. I discovered that there are problems with WiFi on many Droid X's and it mostly stems from what type of encryption is being used on the router. My Linksys router was set up with WPA2 Personal with AES encryption. I found out that by changing it to TKIP could alleviate the problem so that's what I did. Now WiFi seems to work just fine. The only thing that bothers me is that whenever WiFi is enabled, it doesn't seem to disable my 3G connection. All of the data is going through the WiFi connection but the 3G icon stays on the notification bar not doing anything. I thought 3G was supposed to be disabled when connected to a WiFi hotspot?

General :: App Uninstalled But Still Active

Mar 2, 2013

Our phone ( Samsung Galaxy Duos ) had an app installed for hypnosis and it was a relaxation type spiel. After hearing it decided it was rubbish and uninstalled it. Thought it was gone until I got a call or text and it starts to play automatically, it goes for 20 minutes. Once you hit a button or drop notification screen down it stops until the next incoming call or text. I cant see it anywhere on any app lists or on the sd card on the phone etc.
