However, that will leave me with a droid that is disconnected from Verizon. Can I basically then use the phone as a small wi-fi tablet and access the internet and email, not to mention other app?

View 7 Replies View RelatedA couple days ago I had a window pop-up on my SGS3 about WiFi access.
There were 3 web sites listed, but the one that struck me was the one about Android Central.
I don't have a clue how I got the window to open, or even why it did, but the entry for AC said WiFi access to this site was blocked.
Sure enough, I cannot access AC through Forum Runner, but I can get here with Tapatalk 2.I also cannot access it with a browser. Either Chrome or the stock one.
In my home, i have poor isp connection loosing internet access most of the time. This results in WiFi available and no internet access in my mobile (Nexus 4, Android 4.2.2).

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.
I have problem with wifi conection. I'm normally connected to wifi but I don't have internet access.

Are there any easy apps to encrypt myself while on it? I see SSH Tunnel and Connectbot, but I don't have a server.
When I try to connect to my University's network , the my Galaxy S is able to connect JUST fine. However, when I open a browser it says the incoming certificate is not secure and then I have NO INTERNET on any page. It tries to redirect me to the login page for the network but fails to do so with a "communications error" and subsequent no internet access of any sort.
What the network is supposed to do is redirect me to the login page so that I can register the device to the network and login using my university account. My phone can't do that apparently and just sits connected to the network with NO INTERNET connectivity.
This is the university network and the instructions how to get on it for Android devices: [URL] .... I connect to it just fine but am UNABLE to get to that device registration/login page.
This is NOT just for my university. ANY public network which requires me to accept an "agreement" before it lets me have internet access, my phone KILLS ITSELF and CANNOT pull up the agreement page but instead tells me there is no internet. I'm SURE its a software problem or something with settings but can't figure out just what it is.
Just about the only networks I can connect to on Wi-Fi are home networks.
I have an Asus Slider Sl101. Around 3 days ago, our router had been changes as the previous one wasn't working properly. Our carrier is Charter and our router is Netgear. We hooked every device up to that new router and everything worked fine, including the tablet. But later on in the day,the Internet on there stopped working.
It shows that it's connected, but when I try to access the internet through the browser, it does not work. The blue line at the top of the browser starts up, moves forward a little, and stops entirely while the browser then says "Webpage Not Available". Apps that require Internet, such as Accuweather and my SAT apps, fail to work as well. Other devices that use our wifi include another computer and Nintendo DSi and 3DS. They all work fine. Our router shows that our android is connected to it, as well.
I've tried the static IP stuff, restarted the router, left the wifi off on the tablet for a few hours, and turned it off and off. I even factory resetted it and not even that worked.
Is it possible to create a sort of wifi lan network (i.e., make the captivate work as a local area network router without internet access)? this could potentially be useful: quick filesharing, improvised LAN for games, etc...

View 3 Replies View RelatedLove my new Incredible.I upgraded from an LG Dare, so one thing I'm trying to figure out is the difference between using WiFi vs 3G access.Am I correct that you always use 3G for making calls, but can use either WiFi or 3G for apps and surfing.I'm assuming leaving WiFi on uses battery, but when I have WiFi access does it drain the battery less than 3G.Also, does the phone decide when to use one vs the other or do I decide if WiFi is available to me?
View 27 Replies View RelatedHow exactly do I set up WiFi work most efficiently on my EVO? Does it know to choose the best option for getting to the internet? (WiFi or 3/4G?)
Here's why I ask: I have an app that syncs info between the internet and the phone. When I can't get a signal, it can't sync. Often I have crappy reception at home, one or two bars only (a whole 'nother thread), but I do have a strong wifi signal.
Being a newbie to all this, in my little world, logic assumes that the phone would automatically switch from 3or4G to wifi for the exchange of data (but not for talking). But I think I don't have it right. Can someone explain it to me? And how to best set up my phone to take advantage of the strongest signal for data exchange?
I've unlocked the Telus version of the Desire and I'm now using a SIM card on the Bell network. However, the only way that I can access data is through WiFi. When it is turned off I can't access emails or the internet yet my data plan is working and Bell has input my IMEI into their system.

Wireless Access control (limits devices by MAC address) have disabled until I can get connected

I just realized that my emulator can't access the web. My computer runs on WiFi and perhaps the emulator isn't able to detect it. how to get it working? emulator isn't running on Airplane mode.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to track down a solution to my problem, but every solution seems to contain a "Boot into recovery mode" line which I cannot do. I attempted to update a rom that I had installed, and now I am stuck at the google logo with the unlock icon. I cannot boot into recovery with the volume keys and power, and now I cannot figure out how to use adb to recover the phone, as it cannot recognize it.
Is there anyway I can access this phone while it is in this state from my computer and recover it somehow. I tried following leads that people have posted in other threads, but it seems like most suggestions involve "Use adb", yet every adb tutorial involves the phone being in recovery mode. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall drivers via Wug's Toolkit, but when I plug my phone in, I am not able to install the drivers properly. I try to run adb items through the console, yet it does not recognize my device.
Is there anyway to install the necessary software I need and recover my phone while I cannot get past the google logo screen?

I'm trying to find a way to be able to access a selected app or apps without having to unlock my phone with my with pin. I've tried looking, and all I can find is a lock screen app called Start, but it does way more than i need and it still asks for my pin when I select app.
