Android :: Setting Connection Priorities Using Wifi Configuration Priority
May 20, 2009
I am trying to to use WiFi API to set priorities to created profiles. I am using the priority field of WifiConfiguration to set this information. I have found out that no matter what priority I set, Android always tries to re-connect to the latest access point that it was connected to. Here is what I do: 1) I create a profile A with a very low priority (0) 2) I create a profile B with high priority (100) 3) I connect to profile A 4) I turn Wi-Fi off 5) I turn Wi-Fi back on 6) In the scan Android sees both A & B 7) Android connects to A, even though its priority is much lower. Does anyone has a work around for this?

I am trying to figure out how to set priorities on imagebutton.I want to have a layout with a bunch of Icon or buttons that can be selected either by touch, radio, or checked box. As these images are selected they are set on queue to be displayed in order of Precedence.(that is to be pre-determined). The images are displayed once the main action button is touched.

Is there a standard way in Android to create an unkillable service with very high priority, assuming you have complete access to the device (as in you're building your own device on something like a beagleboard, not just installing an app)? I'm playing around with sip phone stuff, and it seems like just doing it as an app isn't going to work if you want high voice quality. (Assuming you want to be able to let the user switch away from the actual sip app and use different apps; all the sip phones I've tried have failed to maintain decent audio if you're multitasking.) Or would you just run the phonecall software outside Android in a normal Linux process and communicate with Android apps over sockets?

Any app which allows to set the preferred wifi network to connect to?
specifically, I want my phone to always connect to network "A" whenever it becomes available, and even if it is currently connected to other networks with a stronger signal.

I am a newbie to Android so please excuse me if this is a silly question or one that has been answered many times before. When connecting to and using the Internet, I am trying to find out what determines the connection that the phone will use when more than one connection is available: Wifi, 3G etc. Is there a standard priority order for connection and use? can the user set the priority order? Usually I would expect the wifi connection to be preferred for reasons of speed and cost. I have looked at my phone user guide and the official Android user guide but cannot find any information about this.

In Java ME we can set .jad configuration in description file and we can get this values in midlet by getAppProperti(""); So in Android we can set apk configuration (eclipse) apk configuration. But when I set this! my file default properties change and my projet signal some error. So in activity when can add System.setProeprty("name","values"). My problem I wan to specify the server IP and some code in apk only for this apk file. Each apk can have his code and server IP.

Sitting at home . WiFi in full operation and showing as such on the Desire. If I use my Desire what will it prioritise: My home WiFi connection or the ISP's data connection? Both have strong signals everywhere in the house and both are equally fast. Important to know as don't want any isp billing surprises!

I have 2 Access Points in my house broadcasting 2 different SSIDs, my Droid can connect to both successfully but it likes the one that is farthest away better. Most of the time I have to force connect the one I�m sitting next too. Is there a way to set a priority on which AP it connects too?

Just two quick questions: When connected to wifi, do internet connections made on the device automatically go via wifi as opposed to 3g etc and if not then is there a way to organize which wireless connection 'methods' have higher priority (i am worried about excessive data costs). Second question is: Is there any multi tasking support on the Magic and if so then how do you switch between applications?

Seems to do the work but 'config.eap' is not accessable from my application.
Is there a way to configure EAP types or is it not possible?

Attempting to change my MAC address I deleted 4 files whose name where WIFI.... something. Right after that My wifi went down and the phone is no longer WIFI capable. I know that I was surfing ROOT file system but instead of copying I clicked delete.
My phone is a chinese model running 4.2.2. What i did was using Xroot file searched for WIFI and selected those files to delete. SO my guess is that I deleted not only my MAC address but also other configuration files.

If my screen locks while I have a wifi connection, then the connection is lost when I unlock the phone.First, is this perhaps deliberate, to save power? Also, either way, when I unlock the screen and go into wifi settings, I see that the phone is trying to make a wifi connection, but it never succeeds, even though it's my home network and I'm in the same room as the router. It just states 'Obtaining address.

Long time reader, first time poster here. How does one know if the Epic is using the wifi connection as opposed to using the 3G connection? When wifi is connected both that and the 3G connection shows at the top. So which one is in control per se? And how can it be verified?

I want a widget to toggle settings like WiFi, GPS, bluetooth etc all in one bar configuration as opposed to separate widgets. I saw one screen shot in this forum of a very clean, minimalistic bar where green = on, red = off (or something like that) for each setting, but I can't remember which post had that screen shot. I've searched and searched. Anyone remember seeing this? Or what search term should I use in the market to find this sort of widget with multiple settings on it?

Just wondering I have the above phone, and ever since I bought it, I cant seem to configure my personal hotspot SSID and passcode, without it defaulting back to AndroidAP and default passcode I enter in my desired SSID and passode, click save, and if I go to conect on laptop it will come up ok, but only that one time. If I literally go straight back into the configuration of wifi hotspot, it has defaulted back to AndroidAP

I have watched some tutorials but cannot understand, or maybe I have watched the wrong ones. I have tried to do it but I cant find how...

What does remark "Applications can not normally change to this priority" for some priorities in android.os.Process mean? I can successfully change thread priority to THREAD_PRIORITY_URGENT_DISPLAY or THREAD_PRIORITY_AUDIO (and I can confirm the effect). But I use ADP firmware, maybe on 'normal' G1 this method will throw? Or is it just an documentation glitch? If not, should we absolutely not use these priorities, or we can try, but be prepared for an exception?

I decided to try the WiFi hotspot available through 2.2. GREAT! Actually worked quite a bit better than I thought it would. Only trouble is, ... now I'm back at home, it fails to connect to the home network.
+ Restarting phone
+ Re-entering password
+ Forgetting network + refinding
WiFi sees the network, says "Connecting", comes up "Failed to connect", "Scanning" and loops on that sequence. I know the router's working because this laptop is using it right now

I want to make http connection which ensures that it is done through wifi only,so that I can not be charged for the transfer of packet from GPRS or 3G network.
It means what ever the connection available I can use only wifi that I want to ensure through Application itself.

I am using org.apache.http.*; API's to make HTTP Post Connections over Internet from the Android Application. I added the Internet Permissions in the Manifest file and it works fine. Now i want my application to make the same HTTP requests over WiFi network through which the handset is connected.
Do i need to make code changes to achieve this? Do i need to add some permissions? as i am unable to make requests...

We live in the sticks and we get a bit of a G connection here, maybe 1 bar if we are lucky.
What I've found is that my samsung galaxy S with android 2.1 uses the G connection no matter how bad it is despite a perfectly good wifi connection here.
It's only if the G cononection completely drops and the red no entry sign appears to show us that the carrier isn't available at all that suddenly the phone uses wifi.
Is there a way to change the provider order so that the phone will use wifi before g/3g ?
