General :: Prevent Android From Storing Plain Text WiFi Passwords
Aug 13, 2013
few months ago I read somewhere that android stores the wifi passwords in plain text (seems to be known since 2010:[URL] Because I don't want my wifi password to be stored that way, I searched for a way to store the wpa passphrase. This wasn't difficult, because android usese wpa_supplicant, means I just had to find out my passphrase and replace the plain key in /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf with it. Everything still works fine and my phone is able to connect to wifi.
Now my question is: is there a way to store every new wifi password this way? It's annoying to have to edit the wpa_supplicant.conf file manually. One problem is, that it seems like android doesn't have the wpa_passphrase binary included, even if the source code seems to exist in the wpa_supplicant repository ( [URL] how to build the code (I'm not familiar with the ndk), I could try writing an app, which replaces all plain text passwords with the passphrases. But it would be awesome, if it were possible to integrate this feature in a custom rom, so no more passwords are stored plain text.

If I need to paste text from another app in my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy SII, O2, Jelly Bean), like from Google Keep or Docs, into a text message it tends to convert from an SMS to MMS. This leads to a charge for me as my SMS messages are included in my tariff but I have no allowance for MMS messages. I presume that this might be something to do with character encoding or other formatting data that is pasted in, but that is only a guess.
Is there any way to stop short messages from being converted to MMS messages like this:? I couldn't find any 'paste clipboard as plain text' option in Android Jelly Bean.

I have a One V, and I want to backup atleast 30 wifi passwords I have stored on my device, but all the apps on play store require root.I can't do that as unlocking the bootloader will remove my phone data, so I'm asking :
If I unlock the bootloader and then restore data still with the stock ROM on, will it restore the wifi data automatically, and then hopefully I can back it up with a wifi backup app (cause there is no way to root device without unlocking the bootloader atm)?Here's what dashboard is showing as backed up:

I'm looking for answer why Messaging is not showing up in the activity chooser dialog. Looking at the manifest it should do exactly that:
CODE:.............
But if i create my intent like that :
CODE:......
Only gmail is an option or gmail +k9 if k9 installed. Changing intent type to */* works but it's not really a good options since i have a plain text.

Is there an app or a script I could run to tell my phone not to connect to wifi when 4G is available..? I run with wifi on all the time and have a handful of networks I connect to but would like the phone to automatically disconnect from wifi when 4G is available then reconnect if it is lost. This is useful for me at work because depending on where I am in the building I may have 4G/3G/no data but the wifi is everywhere but it is unsecured so I'd rather not use it if I don't have to.

I still can't get internet connectivity even after trying all the posted solutions.
Can you tell me (viz. those of you with a working hotspot!), can you still use your browser when the hotspot is active. Just turning the hotspot on on my desire cuts the (mobile data) internet connection with the browser, and anything else!
In fact even after turning off the hotspot I have to toggle mobile data on/off & APN's to get data back.
Also which APN's/usernames/passwords do you have success with & which not?
I think my last resort is to de-brand (Tmob used on Orange) I reckon!

I recently moved from a custom GB ROM to a Jellybean one, and one of the most annoying things about it is the fact that in the stock text messaging application, pressing "enter" now sends the message instead of inserting a line like it should. I know that you can press "control+enter" to start a new line, but the "enter" key is right next to the "backspace" key, and I'm not always the most accurate thumb typist, so I sometimes end up sending incomplete messages.
Is there any way to make it go back to the way it should work so that I can actually use the "enter" key without worrying about the stupid software thinking I'm done with the message?

My GF is getting a new phone and we are having real trouble remembering her Google mail password!
We have tried all the recovery options on-line, but Google are pretty useless at recovering passwords and its driving me insane!
Now, on her old phone, it all still works, and Im just wondering if there is anyway at all as to recover or dig out the password from in the phone somewhere!

is it possible to have an app/modified lock screen with two passwords that unlocks it:
one that unlocks the phone normally and another that hides some applications, sms, calls, and maybe starts a blacklist?

So my friend locked my phone out. I Knew the gmail account linked to the phone but i forgot the password. I resetted the password on a computer but when i enter the new password in the phone it doesn't work.
I tried all my various passwords, including the null and it didn't work.
I don't remember if my phone sends notifications for emails because i only made the gmail account when i bought the phone (therefore it isn't my primary account and no one sends emails to it).I have wifi connection and also 3g connection on the phone.
I am thinking the gmail account did not sync, therefore my new password isn't working. How can i sync the account, or do i have a workaround on getting this to work?

My guess is, it is through GoogleBackupTransport.apk (/system/app/GoogleBackupTransport.apk) ?
I had a look at Google's Developers Guide to Backup , but it is unclear if this applies to the backup of WLAN passwords as well, nor if the mentioned "backup transport" is indeed GoogleBackupTransport.apk.
So, if I remove GoogleBackupTransport.apk, my WLAN passwords won't be uploaded ?

I've been looking everywhere but nowhere can I find an app that's just a plain digital clock, just like the one that appears on the locked phone screen. Something simple, unobtrusive, and easy to read.

I have Nexus 4 and ever since I bought it, it saves all phone numbers with spaces between the digits (like +44 555 555 5555 etc.)
How to have these numbers with no spaces in between? I tried changing the language to English US, English UK and English Autsralia... etc. but no luck with that!!
It really bothers me as well as so many people out there as I found many people complaining about the same issue:

I need an application with which I can store maps with different zoom levels. I remember the application "Istanbul Map" let me do this and I could download Google (or other sources') maps from the zoom level I was in up to the maximum zoom level of my preference. Therefore, assuming that I had downloaded the map, when zoomed out I could only see street names and when zoomed in I could see the shops and their names or any other details corresponding to that zoom level, in case I had set the maximum zoom level to 17, 18 or 19.
However it's been two years that I haven't used that application and now that I downloaded "Istanbul Map" from Google Play I noticed that it doesn't offer the same features as before and it seems that it is specifically for Istanbul. Besides, I need to buy the application in order to use it while the previous versions were free.
Now that I am going on a trip and while on way I might need to zoom in up to the 18th zoom level to see the names of stores or other details. So I need an application that provides me the same feature as the old "Istanbul Map" letting me download Google maps for different zoom levels.The built-in Google maps application only allows to download a map with a fixed zoom level and it is useless for me.
