I have a question regarding WiFi setup on my Android. When I'm at home, I want to use manual IP settings for my WiFi (instead of relying on DHCP). However, when I'm out using other WiFi (a coffee shop, or at school) I obviously need DHCP. How do I set manual IP settings on a per-wifi-hotspot basis?

My problem is i am not able select wifi access point..Every time it shows previous configured wifi details.
I recently got a new SIM card (same provider, Telkomsel, but for a different area code in Indonesia). The settings are supposed to be automatic, and I do indeed have a "Telkomsel GPRS" under "Mobile networks" > "Access Point Names". The 3G on the old SIM worked pretty well, without having to do anything, but this one gets only rare and short-lived connections to the net. I've rung up Telkomsel a few times now, and they're supposed to be fixing it soon, but it's a few days and I'm getting impatient. One of the help line people suggested manually entering a new access point, but the info he gave me was a bit confusing.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two WiFi access points in my house, due to thick walls. When I turn on my phone it searches and connects to the first access point it finds, which is not necessarily the one with the strongest signal. e.g. I have one access point on channel 10 (lounge) and another on channel 1 (bedroom). When I'm in the lounge it always connects to the A/P in the bedroom, unless I actively "forget" that network, even though the signal strength of the one in the bedroom is VERY weak. Is there a way to force it to pick the strongest A/P?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently rooted my Xperia Pro and after I finally did it, I have a problem now. The mobile internet isn't working. I can activate it, but the E- H- or 3G-symbol isn't shown and the internet doesn't work. I read in another forum, that my APN-Settings may be wrong, so I tried going to "Settings > More... > Mobile Networks > Accespoints", but this menu is empty. I only see the headline "APNs", that's it...
I deleted some apps, perhaps that's the problem, but I did a backup of the system/app folder. If that's the problem, perhaps you can tell me the app I need to reinstall...
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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an application in which I need to connect to an access point with a specific name. Therefor I start a scan (WifiManager.startScan()) and listen to BroadCastEvents of type SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION and NETWORK_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION. When the scan results are available, I check if my AP is found and if so I connect to it.
When I'm connected to the AP, I receive a NETWORK_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION and there I open a SocketConnection to my serverSocket. The problem I'm having is that on the moment that I'm connected to the AP, the DHCP request is not yet finished. This causes the opening of the socketConnection to throw a "SocketException: Network unreachable". A few moments later I see in the logcat logging: WifiStateTracker - DhcpHandler: DHCP request succeeded. If I try to connect after this message, all goes fine. is there an event that I can listen to that informs me that the DHCP request is done? Now I try to create a connection and while an error occurs I retry. This is however very dangerous for hanging (if e.g the dhcp fails, the loop will never stop...)
I need to develop an application which scans the wifi access points and also gives their signal strength.I wrote the code for scanning the access points but I dont know what packages to use for measuring the displaying strength.Can anyone please tell me how to display the signal strength, also give me the code for that.

I have successfully programmed insertion & deletion of an Access Point in database but I need to find out how to update an access point. I'm using db.update() but its not producing any result. I am using the following code to update an access point:
ContentValues updateFields = new ContentValues();
ContentResolver resolver = getContentResolver();
updateFields.put("name:", "AIRTEL");
updateFields.put("apn_addr", 11023);
resolver.update(TABLE_APN_URI,updateFields,"_id=?",new String[] {Long.toString(2)});
While updating I'm not getting any error as well.
I was wondering is it possible to get a notification of when a new configured network is added to the Wifi Manager in Android? I know you can get the current list of configured networks.
http://developer.android.com/intl/de/reference/android/net/wifi/WifiM...
But is it possible to get notification of when a new one is added? I don't see anything in the Wifi Manager that would be helpful. How this could be achieved?
Does Android provide a notification of being in vicinity of a new Wifi Network? Whether the device is configured to connect to that wifi network depends on whether the device has the wifi configuration set for that particular wifi network, but is it possible to get notification whenever entering any new wifi network?
I saw the WifiManager class but the states inside the class do not seem to achieve what I am trying to do. Any ideas?
I have searched alot on this but could not find anything on google or stack overflow.

I have just recently moved from Nokia E75 to HTC Desire, and there are lots of stuff on the E75 that I will never miss... But, there are a couple of things I am missing very much, tho. One thing was a very clever feature that saved a lot of battery... On my HTC Desire I have to leave wlan enabled at all time for the phone to utilize wireless at all, and I can see that it's consuming approx 20% of the battery power - even if no apps or widgets are accessing internet.
But on the Nokia E75 it's very different... The wlan is switched off by default, so whenever an application on the E75 needs a data connection (internet), it will quickly enable wlan and check to see if there are any networks nearby it can access, and then disable it again if it doesn't find any. (If no wlan access point is detected, it will go online using the mobile data connection automatically instead)
I think that's the only negative thing that's happened since updating to 2.2, the Vodafone access point (APN) has been wiped and for some reason has defaulted to an ASDA one!

View 2 Replies View RelatedSuccess! Wireless tether in AP Mode (NOT ad-hoc) + WPA2 Encryption - xda-developers. Tried this out and it works cool. Refer to link for instructions. Give credit where credit is due.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI know there was another thread on this topic that linked to the XDA forum but that thread is more about loading a specific kernel to enable AP Tether. I like Hydra's new kernels and you can do the same thing with them as well. I attempted to install the newest version of Wireless Tether from the market but it did not allow AP mode. So I found it's necessary, as verified elsewhere, to install the (wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre3.apk) version.
Once I did this and added the bin file, it worked great. WPA2 security is also included in this version. So to make it easy, I just created a zip that's already called Android.tether and has the required .apk and .bin already inside for AP Tether. This is not supported with the stock kernel, check to see if your kernel of choice supports it if you are in question. I can for sure verify the Hydra OCUV 1.113 ghz v0.8 kernels.
