General :: Stop WiFi Automatically Connecting To Open Networks

Jan 13, 2013

Every day when I arrive home, my SGS3 has connected to some open network near my house. I never want it to do this automatically but can't stop it from happening. This never happens on my wife's I phone 4s...

I've set advanced settings to not notify me when an open network is nearby, but the damned phone keeps connecting to unwanted connections. How to stop that?

I'm on sgs3 with 4.1.2.

HTC Droid Eris :: Wifi Wont Automatically Connect Unless Viewing List Of Networks

Jun 26, 2010

I'm having an issue with my wifi not connecting. I have to AP's in my house, on different channels. They work perfectly fine. I have the wifi toggle setting on the home screen that I usually press to toggle the wifi on/off. Recently, it hasn't been working after I disconnect from 3G and connect to wifi. It says the wifi is turned on, but it won't connect to either of the remembered APs. The only way to get it to automatically connect is to go to settings and view the list of APs. Only then will it connect to one of the two APs. This is really annoying, as it seemed to only start this recently and nothing has changed. My wifi sleep policy is never to turn off. It's a droid eris with 2.1 OTA. Ran a virus scan, nothing. Any ideas?

Android :: Need WiFi App To Choose Which Networks Phone Will Connect To

Apr 30, 2010

I'm looking for an app that will automatically enable my wifi for designated networks. Basically, the only location currently I really desire to use wifi is at home since if I'm at home, my phone is likely charging (since wifi eats battery) and the speed beats 3G. I'm going through appbrain.com and finding a lot of apps that automatically scan and connect to open networks, automatically connect to the fastest network, a bunch of wifi toggle widgets...nothing really for making conditions for what networks it will connect to, especially one that has a password.

Samsung Galaxy S :: Cannot Connect To WiFi Networks

Oct 2, 2010

My SGS (well its actually my wife's but I use it also) will not connect to WiFi networks, other than the one we have at home. If we are out, the phone will be able to see lots of WiFi networks, but it cannot connect to any of them as it says the signal is poor. Other people can be sat right next to other with other phones and have no problem connecting and they have strong signals. At home it will connect, but even then there is only one bar of signal, even though the router is in the same room. It appears that the phone just cannot get a strong enough signal to connect.

Android :: Phone Does Not Automatically Connect To Home WiFi

Mar 25, 2010

If I connect to my home WiFi, it works well. I'll go out of the house and come back a few hours later and the phone does not automatically connect to my home WiFi. If I go to settings, I can see it detects my home WiFi, but says "Connection unsuccessful, select to try again." When I select it, it connects and works fine. My problem is, I don't think I should have to physically select my WiFi network everytime I come home. Shouldn't it see it and connect automatically? What am I dong wrong? Do I have a setting turned on/off that should be different?

HTC Desire :: Unable To Connect To Open WiFi Point

Sep 15, 2010

I'm new to all this WiFi stuff. I have no problems connecting my Desire to my WiFi at home, which is great. But at work (or at least in the vicinity of my office) there is an open WiFi point. I have now tried on several occasions to connect to it, but it always fails. It gets as far as trying to get the IP address then nothing happens until the connection fails. Then it starts trying to connect again, but it gets stuck every time on getting the IP address.

This would not concern me if it weren't for the fact that other work colleagues (one of whom also has a Desire) have managed to connect without a problem. I've moved over to where those people work, in case it was a pure location thing, but still no success. Obviously I'd like not to have to use my data allowance while at work if at all possible.

HTC Hero :: Unable To Connect To Open WiFi Anymore

Oct 10, 2010

I've had my HTC Hero for one week. First day I got it, I walked into a Radio Shack and connected to the open WiFi instantly no problem. I can connect to any secured network (w/ pwd) no problem. However, ever since I put the phone in airplane mode while on a flight, I haven't been able to connect to any open Wifi network. The Hero detects the network and says I'm connected, but I can't get on the internet at all. The phone says it's not in airplane mode but maybe it still is? help please. I'm running android 2.1.

General :: How To Auto-Connect To SSH Server Upon Connection To Open WiFi Hotspot

Jan 6, 2012

I am looking for a way to automate my Android phone connecting to an SSH server when the phone connects to an unsecured wifi network. My understanding is that this is adequate to keep my traffic from being sniffed by DroidSheep (Android), FireSheep (Windows), or other packet sniffers.

I'm using this guide to connect my Android phone to the SSH server: link HERE

Is the Tasker app the best way to do this?

- if yes: how do I trigger the launch of the SSHTunnel when the trigger event (connection to unsecured wifi network) occurs?

- if no: what is a better way?

Note: I did a search for SSH (link HERE) and did not see anything covering this.

Android :: Able To Connect To WPA Enterprise Wi-Fi Networks?

Sep 25, 2009

A Wi-Fi device running Android looks like being able to connect to a secured Wi-Fi access point using WEP, WPA, etc. I actually can't figure how to setup a "WPA Enterprise" secured Wi-Fi connection wich requires a certificate. I can't find a way to import a security certificate. I went to "Settings" app, "Wireless controls" menu, "Wi-Fi settings" menu, clicked the "Advanced" menu, "Security certificates" menu, clicked "Add certificates" menu to get an empty list. I tried to put the .cer file on the SD card but the list is still empty.

General :: Mobile Networks - Setting Goes Automatically In GSM Only?

Apr 25, 2014

I have a problem with my android tablett, with sim card slot.In the mobile network settin, we can find this :

GSM/WCDMA (auto connect) - automatically switches between 2G/3G modes. When signal strength is low, 3G is favored more

GSM only - 2G only mode. When 2G signal strength is low, you get no data.

WCDMA only - 3G only mode. When 3G signal strength is low, you get no data.

But in my case, i can't switch to " GSM/WCDMA " or " WCDMA only ", it still changing in gsm only, when i change to " GSM/WCDMA " or " WCDMA only ", the setting goes automaticly in " GSM only ".

HTC Desire :: How Many Wi-Fi Networks Can I Connect To?

Jul 25, 2010

I'm about to purchase an HTC Desire after it comes out (I'm in Canada) and wanted to know if you can only set the phone to connect to one Wi-Fi network or if I can set multiple networks so the more places I go, like a friends house, I use less data.

HTC Incredible :: Way To Connect To An Ad Hoc Networks

May 9, 2010

My WiFi doesn't reach upstairs in my house, and for that reason, I have a wired connection that comes upstairs. I set my laptop up to share the wired internet connection through an AdHoc for other devices...except my Incredible. Kinda weird that Google didn't have this feature built in without having to root the phone. Does anyone know a way to connect to an AdHoc?

Android :: WiFi Range And Ad-Hoc Networks

Oct 14, 2010

I am initiating the design of an application that would require an Android phone to connect to another Android phone via Ad-Hoc networking with or w/o security. I would like to know if Android supports ad-hoc networking. I would also like to know what is the average range of the wifi signal from an Android handset point-to-point with no obstructions. I cannot find any information about this on the web.

Android :: Scan For WiFi Networks Not Working

Jun 5, 2010

I'm trying to scan for wireless networks and found this helpful source on the net. Unfortunately it's not working and I have no idea why. My problem is that I can't wait 10 minutes for the result - I need them within a few seconds and thought about setting the boolean variable waiting on false as soon as I get a result, well it runs forever. Looks like nothing is received.

// -- Sample WiFi implementation - http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/f722d5f90cfae69 IntentFilter i = new IntentFilter();
i.addAction(WifiManager.SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION);
registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver(){
@Override public void onReceive(Context c, Intent i){
// Code to execute when SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION event occurs
mWifiManager = (WifiManager) c.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
wireless = mWifiManager.getScanResults(); // Returns a <list> of scanResults
waiting = false;
} } ,i);
// -- End Wifi Sample mWifiManager.startScan();
while (waiting) { try { Thread.sleep(200);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace();
} Log.d("PROJECT1","Wifi WAITING");
}

Android :: Scan For WiFi Networks Done Passively Or Actively?

Aug 9, 2010

I am programming for google android and I wonder if the scans for wireless 802.11 networks are done passively or actively? I mean: Does the device actually emit a beacon request signal on
WifiManager.startScan()
Or does it just listen for beacons sent periodically by the access points?

Android :: Connecting To 3G And WiFi Data Networks Simultaneously?

Jul 13, 2010

We have an application where we'd like to use the WiFi connection on a local network (intranet) with no Internet connectivity, and use the 3G connection simultaneously as the data connection to the internet. To summarize:

We need to connect to two distinct networks at the same time - We need data traffic to be properly routed to the appropriate network based on its IP address - We need both radios (WiFi and 3G) on and active. This can easily be done on the iPhone, but not sure if it can be done on the Android.

Sprint HTC Hero :: Some WiFi Networks Not Available

Jul 16, 2010

I got 2 Sprint HTC Heros 3 wks ago. They work fine with any WiFi network that shows up as available. Other WiFi networks are completely ignored and do not show up in the list of available networks. I installed WiFi Analyzer and it is also prevented from seeing the same "invisible" networks. One WiFi network which does not show up is my home network. Last weekend I was at a B&B in another state and had the same problem with their network. Their network was up and running and visible to other hardware but not to our Heros.

Our home WiFi router is a Linksys WRT110 running WPA-2 Personal AES. There typically are three devices on this network: 2 @ g and 1 @ n. I have seen other WPA-2 Personal networks show up as Available while traveling but have no idea what routers were used. I called Sprint support and eventually got to someone in Tech support who put me on hold after I explained the symptoms. 20 min later the call was dropped. So much for Sprint tech support .

HTC Hero :: WiFi Networks Not In Range?

Nov 10, 2009

I got the Hero on 3UK yesterday. As soon as I booted it up it found a number of wireless networks and I was able to connect to my BeBox with no problems. Later on last night and continuing today, it can't find any networks in range. It shows the BeBox as 'remembered' but not in range. Even tho I'm obviously sitting near it. I've rebooted the phone today and no change. I installed the Fonera application yesterday and thought it might be causing problems so disabled it and still the problem was there.

HTC Incredible :: Connecting To Ad-Hoc WiFi Networks

Sep 8, 2010

Now I wish there was a way to connect my Non-Rooted Froyo Incredible to Ad-Hoc WiFi networks, but I can't seem to find a way. Does anyone know of any ways to connect my Incredible to my Ad-Hoc WiFi networks? Because that would be the only reason I would root my incredible, but I wouldn't do it if there wasn't a solution available.

HTC Desire :: Unable To Detect Some WiFi Networks?

Nov 7, 2010

The wireless network in my area follows the EALP/PEAP protocol which isn't supported on Android phones. So, I tried setting up local WiFi hotspots from my laptop to enable WiFi. But my phone doesn't detect that wireless network at all. My friend's Nokia E51 detects the hotspot, but not my HTC Desire. I tried detecting hotspots created from other laptops but the result remains the same. The E51 detects it but the Desire does not. Do I have to change some settings that I am unaware of?

HTC Incredible :: Different WiFi Networks And Battery Life?

Sep 4, 2010

I started using WiFi exclusively at home and my office after reading about the benefits on here. I noticed a tremendous increase in battery life. But when I'm on WiFi at my gf's parents house, the battery drain isn't even about the same as 3G it seems like it is much worse. What could be causing this? The signal strength is often better at this location than home/office so that shouldn't be the problem.

General :: WiFi / Unable To Scan For Networks

Mar 18, 2013

In Jan. I switched from Sprint to a different carrier and got a new phone with the new carrier which left me with my HTC Evo 4G and I've been trying to use the Wifi so I can use it at work or at home when I don't feel like using my laptop and whenever I try to turn my WiFi on it just turns on then off and tells me "Unable to scan for networks".

I've noticed that it says that my IP address is unknown and Bluetooth isn't working either. I did a factory reset on my phone and all that did was delete my Doctor Who background.

Sidenote: my husband was on my family plan and he had the same phone with the same service and his WiFi is working fine.
