Android :: Info About Different Networks - Access Points Under SSID

Sep 17, 2010

If I use getScanResult() I will be able to get the information about different networks but for example if I am in a school where all access points are under network (SSID) "The school". Will getScanResult() filter out other access points than the one it's closest to and only return 1 BSSID for that network?

Motorola Droid :: Roaming Between Multiple WiFi Access Points With Same SSID?

Nov 7, 2009

Just got my hands on a Droid and now I'm working out some kinks. My iPhone and laptop have no problem roaming aggressively between multiple access points we have at work that share the same SSID. I can't seem to get the Droid to do the same thing. I've tried downloading some wifi scanners, but they don't quite cut it. Is there a setting I'm missing? The expected behavior would be for the Droid to happily associate with any AP that shares a "remembered" SSID. Right now, it requires manually going into settings and associating with each and every AP in order for it to hop automatically as I move around the building.

Android :: HTTP / Access Points

Aug 1, 2009

I am just a beginner in the Android and was experimenting with HTTP.I have published the result of my experimentation through the following link http://kausikdas.webs.com/apps/blog/show/1489440-http-in-android. I am yet to get a device but working with the Simulator.I need feedbacks on the possible network problems I should handle. e.g.: 1. Do I need to discover the access points and dial one before connecting? 2. How can I know which services (Data/Data & Voice/Voice/No/Emergency etc.) current network is supporting? 3. Anything more to take care of?

Android :: Network Connections / Access Points

Jul 16, 2010

I have some code that uses a network connection. I create a connection by calling openConnection() on a URL object. Is there any documentation that explains how this process works? Which access point is being used? When that access point becomes invalid, will it automatically switch to another accespoint? etc. I would like to use only WiFi access points and otherwise fail even tho 3G or GPRS could be available, is that possible?

Android :: Detecting Ad Hoc WiFi Access Points

Feb 9, 2009

I am developing an application on the android platform. The app performs continues WiFi scan and sends information about the list of visible access points to server. However, I need to remove all the Ad Hoc points. The android.net.wifi.ScanResult api does not seem to have any information on "mode" of the network. Is there anyway I can distinguish a given point is Ad Hoc or Master?

Android :: Signal Strength Of Each WiFi Access Points?

Aug 9, 2010

I am building an application reading the signal strength of each available WiFi access point. I've written code like:

wifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
// Get WiFi status
WifiInfo info = wifi.getConnectionInfo();
textStatus.append(" WiFi Status: " + info.toString());
// List available networks
List<WifiConfiguration> configs = wifi.getConfiguredNetworks();

However, I have two problems:
In debugging, configs only contains one connection. However, I can see that there are several APs available in the system's wifi setting. i.e. configs is an incomplete list. I don't know how to get the signal strength in Wifi Configuration. I am using HTC Hero and Android 1.5.

Android :: No Automatic WiFi Handover Between Access Points

Nov 16, 2010

I have a Samsung Galaxy S, running Froyo. I have an issue with WiFi handover, so I am posting here (in addition to the SGS section) in case this is an Android issue rather than an SGS-specific issue. I have two WiFi Access Points (APs) at home, both using the same SSID, but on different channels.

I expected the SGS to automatically move (handover) from one AP to another based on signal strengths that vary depending on where I am. However, this does not happen. It stays on the AP that it is connected to, even when moving to very poor signal levels. I need to manually trigger this (e.g by disconnecting from the AP). Any configuration or Android app. By the way, I also tried configuring the APs with different SSIDs, but this didn't work either.

Android :: How To Scan Access Points And Select Strongest Signal?

May 13, 2010

I am currently trying to write a class in Android that will Scan for access points, calculate which access point has the best signal and then connect to that access point. So the application will be able to scan on the move and attach to new access points on the go. I have the scanning and calculation of the best signal working. But when it comes to attaching to the best access point I am having trouble. It appears that enableNetwork(netid, othersTrueFalse) is the only method for attaching to an Access point but this causes problems as from my Scan Results I am not able to get the id of the access point with the strongest signal.

This is my code:
---
public void doWifiScan(){ scanTask = new TimerTask() { public void run() { handler.post(new Runnable() { public void run() { sResults = wifiManager.scan(getBaseContext());
if(sResults!=null) Log.d("TIMER", "sResults count" + sResults.size());
ScanResult scan = wifiManager.calculateBestAP(sResults);
wifiManager.addNewAccessPoint(scan); } }); }};
t.schedule(scanTask, 3000, 30000); }
---

public ScanResult calculateBestAP(List<ScanResult> sResults){ ScanResult bestSignal = null;
for (ScanResult result : sResults) { if (bestSignal == null || WifiManager.compareSignalLevel(bestSignal.level, result.level) < 0) bestSignal = result;
} String message = String.format("%s networks found. %s is the strongest. %s is the bsid", sResults.size(), bestSignal.SSID, bestSignal.BSSID);
Log.d("sResult", message); return bestSignal; }
---
public void addNewAccessPoint(ScanResult scanResult){ WifiConfiguration wc = new WifiConfiguration();
wc.SSID = '"' + scanResult.SSID + '"';
//wc.preSharedKey = ""password""; wc.hiddenSSID = true;
wc.status = WifiConfiguration.Status.ENABLED;
wc.allowedGroupCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher.TKIP);
wc.allowedGroupCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher.CCMP);
wc.allowedKeyManagement.set(WifiConfiguration.KeyMgmt.WPA_PSK);
wc.allowedPairwiseCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.PairwiseCipher.TKIP);
wc.allowedPairwiseCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.PairwiseCipher.CCMP);
wc.allowedProtocols.set(WifiConfiguration.Protocol.RSN);
int res = mainWifi.addNetwork(wc);
Log.d("WifiPreference", "add Network returned " + res );
boolean b = mainWifi.enableNetwork(res, false);
Log.d("WifiPreference", "enableNetwork returned " + b );
}
---

When I try to use addNewAccessPoint(ScanResult scanResult) it just adds another AP to the list in the settings application with the same name as the one with the best signal, so I end up with loads of duplicates and not actually attaching to them. Can anyone point me in the direction of a better solution?

HTC EVO 4G :: WiFi Access Points With Manual Connect Only Option?

Oct 27, 2010

I think this should be simple enough but I haven't found a solution. I would like to leave my WiFi radio on. This way, the phone will automatically connect to certain access points (that I have previously connected to). However, there are certain access points that I would only like the phone to connect to if I elect to manually connect to them. I can't seem to find this setting anywhere. The only two options I have on access points once connected is to Forget network and Change password. I want it to remember those but only connect when I manually tell it to.

General :: WiFi Access Points Enable Sync

Aug 21, 2013

I moved from Galaxy S4 to Galaxy Note 2.

Everytime I take a new phone, during initial setup it gives me to restore my settings from Google which when I enable I get all my saved wifi-access points.

This time however by mistake I didn't allow Google to restore that data in my Note 2 so now I haven't got any saved WiFi passwords.

I had backup of all user and system data from S4 via titanium backup and I tried to restore WiFi access points in Note2 which wont work (maybe compatibility or something, I don't know)

how can i re-enable or force a re-sync that Google to restore my WiFi access points to my mobile or what can i do to get all my saved WiFi profiles back.

General :: Block Settings - But Allow Adding Access Points?

Nov 13, 2013

I use an AppLocker on my daughter's phone. It works great, but there is one problem it causes.I need to keep her and others out of the settings so it's blocked. But I need to be able to allow her to add access points so she's not eating away our data plan.

Is there an App Locker that will allow this? Or is there an alternative Wifi manager that I could install and allow that would work even when settings is blocked?

Android :: Connectivity On Android / No Access Points For 3G Or GPRS

May 5, 2010

I have a couple of questions about connectivity on Android, if anyone has any insight it would be great. What is the default when an application wants to wirelessly connect? Is it WLan? And if WLan is switched off or there is no access points around is it 3G or GPRS? Is a device always ip connected? Or when its disabled from WLan or 3G does it's lose its IP address?

Is an application, for example the browser only ever connected to one IP address? Or can it be connected to multiple addresses for each radio such as GPRS or WiFi (WLan)? Can an application decide which connection to open a socket to? For example can I create an application and decide whether to connect the socket to the WLan or GPRS? Or does the OS decide? Finally how do native applications handle connectivity? In the same manner?

HTC Desire : T-mobile / Access Both Networks Enabling To Make Calls - Send Texts

Sep 6, 2010

Just wanted to refresh for those that arent aware of this coming merger.

"from 5th October, 30 million customers the combined customer base of Orange and T-Mobile in the UK - will be offered the opportunity to access both networks, enabling them to make calls and send texts in more places in the UK for no extra cost."

This is great news from those suffering from sub-par reception, and im pretty sure will obliterate the competition in terms of available phone signal.

Android :: Droid 2.1 Connected To WiFi But Incorrect SSID Display

Aug 19, 2010

I have several remembered WiFi SSIDs on my Droid, including my home WiFi and one for the local library, which are at least 4 miles apart. I just discovered that my Droid is indicating I am connected to the public library WiFi (as shown in my settings screen), when I'm actually connected to my home WiFi. Just to make sure before posting this, I used Network Discovery to confirm that the devices visible to my Droid were the devices on my home WiFi. Other than the incorrect SSID display, the connection seems fine.

HTC Hero :: WiFi - SSID Not Broadcasting

Oct 21, 2009

I have a D-Link WAP set up for G/N and also set so that it does not broadcast my SSID. My new Hero is able to connect at work to our WAP (WEP security), but at home it can't find my WAP (WPA security). If I change my setting so that it now broadcasts my SSID it can connect, but what the heck? Why can't it connect if I've input the SSID and WPA code, but the SSID isn't broadcasting?

General :: Hidden SSID Cannot Connect?

May 4, 2014

At my work they set the wireless with two channels. One is open to everybody with an email verification and allowed users to connect for 2 hours a day and the other is a hidden SSID that the workers can use all the time. In my iphone I have no issues. I add the network manually and it connects. But on my Sony xperia Z1 when I go to wifi and add the hidden SSID it just said not in range while the other network is in range. So far I tried the Hidden SSID enabler app with no luck. My device has kitkat 4.4.2 and is rooted.

General :: Tethering Does Not Broadcast SSID

Sep 28, 2012

I recently installed a new Custom Rom "TheBrainsRom" on the SSpeed Kernel v3 on my Xperia U. All was fine until i tried to turn on the Tethering. It shows that it is tethering but then it doesnt broadcast. At times, the Status Bar also gives a force close issue.

Is this usually to do with the Kernel or ROM handles such functions independently. What could i do in order to avoid having to reflash the device.

HTC Incredible :: Wireless Connectivity - SSID Broadcasting

Sep 1, 2010

I can connect to my wireless router if the SSID is being broadcasted. I cannot connect to the wireless router if the SSID is not broadcasted. I know that on my laptop, this is still achieved. I was wondering if the same could be done with the DINC. Is there a way to connect to the router when the SSID is not broadcasted?

HTC Incredible :: Using WIFI Network With Disabled SSID Broadcast?

Jul 4, 2010

I used to keep my SSID broadcast at home disable, and four computers have never had a problem using the network. Only my Incredible doesn't seem to be able to reconnect to a remembered network not broadcasting its SSID. In fact, if I turn off the SSID while the Incredible is connected, it instantly drops the WIFI connection. Anyone have luck having the Incredible use a network without the SSID being broadcast constantly? I'm using WPA2 if that makes a difference.

HTC Droid Eris :: WiFi - Hidden / Non Broadcasting SSID

Feb 9, 2010

This is something that has been addressed with other handsets, and other users, sometimes with success, and sometimes without. My friend has solved this problem with his HTC Hero. You're trying to connect to a WiFi network that is hidden. In other words, the name isn't broadcasted. In other words (again), your WiFi won't automatically find this network.

So you manually type it in Menu > Settings > Wireless Ctrl > WiFi Settings > Add WiFi network. You type in all of the details. No connection. As if it's not there. So you find that some others with their Android phones, have found success using HiddenSSIDEnabler from the Market. Removing the 'Remembered' network. Adding it freshly. Using HiddenSSID. Removing it again. Adding it again. In any order. No luck. onnecting to a non-broadcasting wireless network

Motorola Droid X :: Connecting To Wifi Network With Hidden SSID

Jul 16, 2010

Anyone have a problem connecting to a network with a hidden SSID? My wife can connect to our router fine with her Droid INc (wireless N router). But i can't unless i enable broadcasting the SSID. I found the hidden SSID enabler app, and going to try that. If that doesn't work does anyone else have any ideas? If i enable SSID broadcast i connect right away. If i disable it, i lose the connection and it is "out of range". Very annoying as i live in a condo unit with 10 other wifi networks in my range. Would like to keep my netwrok as private as possible.
