Is it possible to block phone from auto connecting to certain mobile operators? Eg. when I'm on a ferry there is an operator which charges insanely high rates which my phoe auto connects to.

I am trying to do a little app to list and connect to other Network operator.I list them by going to:
Settings
Wireless Controls
Mobile networks
Network operators
Search networks
And I connect to other Network operator by clicking on one of the list.I've been searching methods from ConnectivityManager but I don't find something like connectTo() .Any ideas of how I can do this?
This is my first post, after reading helpful posts for many months. I was wondering if anyone knows how to stop the Desire/android from automatically connecting to specific wifi networks. I have a wifi network at home which I want the phone to always connect to when in range. I also have a wifi network at work, that I only want to connect to from time to time to update the calendar and download emails. Currently I have to turn off wifi when at work until I need it, but I've had this working before. I'm on my second Desire as the Orange 2.2 update fubar'd the first , my first phone would always ask me if I wanted to connect to the works wifi, the new one just connects straight away, and it will only be a matter of time before my twitter app gets me into trouble.

Now, the extra thing I would need is that it turn GPS off and Wifi on again when disconnected from the bluetooth device.
I have used A2dp volume, which turned GPS on, but not off...
I have looked at all the basic things, turning it off and on, removing battery, making sure network is checked on settings? I am on vodaphone.

is there any way to block this and make it only go to the web version or atleast hide the fact from the internet that I am on a mobile device?
I'm trying to limit my mobile data usage with out jumping through hoops.
I'm looking for a widget, that with one click of a button, it can restrict background data, disable auto-sync and enable mobile data, and when pressed again, enable WiFi, disable background restriction and enable auto-sync.
This function, no matter how trivial, would save time and effort.
Is there anything like this out there? Would something like this require root?

I have been struggling to make phone calls/send texts/go online without turning on WiFi. My phone rarely connects to the 4G network that I know is strong , because my dad's identical Galaxy S3 is quick to connect to it. My phone rarely connects to Edge either now. When I go into the "Search Mobile Networks" tab my phone just keeps searching and searching... and searching. I thought I had the solution a moment ago when I turned on and off Airplane Mode. My phone connected to 4G for a moment and I was able to send one text, but then it dropped back into nothingness. In addition, it takes nearly 30 seconds to switch into airplane mode after I select it.It's not the sim card because I tried it on a different phone and it works fine. My dad's a cynic when it comes to rooting and he's saying it might be because I rooted my phone, but this issue started two to three weeks after I rooted... is rooting a potential cause?

Since wireless tether on the Hero doesn't support WEP, how do you prevent others from connecting to your hotspot? I was running wireless tether and somebody jumped onto the network and I didn't know how to boot him/her off.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to select preferred network operators automatically from device. After I search for it, I found following:
Code:
final int EVENT_AUTO_SELECT_DONE = 300;
Message msg = mHandler.obtainMessage(EVENT_AUTO_SELECT_DONE);
phone.setNetworkSelectionModeAutomatic(msg);
So I need an instance of class "Phone". I tried this:
Code:
String phoneFactoryName = "com.android.internal.telephony.PhoneFactory";
String phoneName = "com.android.internal.telephony.Phone";
Class phoneFactoryClass = Class.forName(phoneFactoryName);
Class phoneClass = Class.forName(phoneName);
Method getDefaultPhone = phoneFactoryClass.getMethod("getDefaultPhone");
Object phoneObject = getDefaultPhone.invoke(null);
But the method "getDefaultPhone" can only called by looper.
Next I tried this:
Code:
String phoneAppName = "com.android.phone.PhoneApp";
Class phoneAppClass = Class.forName(phoneAppName);
Method getInstanceMethod = phoneAppClass.getMethod("getInstance");
Object phoneObject = getInstanceMethod.invoke(null);
But I get a ClassNotFoundException.
I noticed battery improvement when diaabled aob. how can i have it toggle when i open maps and close it?

All incoming phone calls are being automatically answered. I went to Settings>Language and Input; however, I don't see the Voice CMD for Apps option. I also want to note that this is not voice activated answering - it is just auto answering. I am not using a headset and the option for auto answering with a headset is off.
View 4 Replies View RelatedFor some reason my wifi no longer connects to my home network automatically. I need to go in to the wireless settings then in to the wifi settings menu itself, where I'll see my network "Not in range-remembered" for a second and then it'll connect itself. It wasn't like this a few days ago, and I don't think this happens at the 2 other wireless networks I frequent, I'll try and remember to check tomorrow when I drop off my son at the in-laws.
I deleted the network and added it back in, still no auto connect. I rebooted the phone and it connected once, then after I turned off wifi and turned it back on, it went back to needing a manual connect, which it really isn't even that. It just doesnt want to connect unless I go in to the wifi settings.
For some reason, my WIFI is no longer auto-connecting to networks. I have to go into WIFI settings and manually connect to a network. This happens if, for example, I'm on WIFI at work and then come home, it does not auto-connect to my wireless network without manually connecting it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I turn on wifi it won't connect to my remembered network unless I go into wifi setting. Anyone else having this problem? Also when I get a call the bluetooth button on the bottom left won't turn bluetooth on. I guess it just tells you if its connected but it really should turn it on and connect.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI don't see the logic behind this. The more people who watch hulu means more people who are looking at ads. And the more people who look at ads, the more money hulu makes. The only logic I could see behind this is that a Hulu Plus app is coming to the Android market, but I haven't heard anything about that.What's your take on this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedBasically I was at work today, the reception was okay and I wanted to go on the net. When I tried to turn mobile network on (I normally keep it off to save battery), it just said "connecting" in the dark silver colour and that was it. It didn't turn on at all, until I turned the phone off completely and then the mobile network was on when the phone was re-started. It happened to me twice that day.

(im getting 10 or so android phones for my workers and i dont want them hangin on Fb,yt,etc all day long ,i know i would xD) I dont mean the individual apps (im locking the market,so no probs with that.) but in the default browser itself..so that you can't type in www fb.com ... ?
I had installed the "quick settings" app that was mentioned in another thread. When I tried to open it this morning to turn on the mobile network (I usually keep it off at home), a message popped up saying the application was not updated properly and it needed to be removed and reinstalled. I tried to go to settings>wireless controls to turn on the mobile network but that isn't working either. When I look at the button to turn on the mobile network in the settings, it says "standby to connect to mobile network", I click it, it goes away and says "connect to internet" but when I click it again it just tries and then stops after a minute or so. I removed the quick settings app and restarted the phone, but that didn't help.This happened once before and I just connected to WiFi and reinstalled the quick settings app, but now I'm somewhere where I don't have WiFi access. If it matters, I also have a shortcut button installed to turn the mobile network on and off, but that isn't doing anything either. Any suggestions?

i dont think there is any problem with my cord, because i just root my bros captivate today with the cord i have.
Sometimes my phone loses signal, and then doesn't pick it up as quickly as I'd like.Normally,I go into settings, to 'wireless controls, mobile networks, network operators' to force it to pick up my network. I'm looking for either an app/widget/shortcut to take me straight from my homescreen to 'network operators' without having to click through the various settings menus, or advice on building the link myself.
View 4 Replies View Relatedi got an S3.. and my computer has xp pro. i had to restore my computer recently from a saved image of my system. before i restored my computer, i was able to connect my S3 to it via USB with no problem. but after i restored it, i'm unable to.
i downloaded and installed the MTP driver, which got my computer to recognize my phone before i restore it. but now its not working and i dont see it listed in Device Manager. whats weird is that when i connect my S3 to my computer, the phone doesnt give any notifications that the phone is connected to USB like it used to before. and it also doesnt give me the 2 options of connecting by either MTP or Camera. all it does is charge my phone.
Is there any way or application that when someone connect my phone to pc , it showes drivers and files but can not copy files from pc to android or android to pc.
