HTC Droid Eris :: WiFi - Hidden / Non Broadcasting SSID
Feb 9, 2010
This is something that has been addressed with other handsets, and other users, sometimes with success, and sometimes without. My friend has solved this problem with his HTC Hero. You're trying to connect to a WiFi network that is hidden. In other words, the name isn't broadcasted. In other words (again), your WiFi won't automatically find this network.
So you manually type it in Menu > Settings > Wireless Ctrl > WiFi Settings > Add WiFi network. You type in all of the details. No connection. As if it's not there. So you find that some others with their Android phones, have found success using HiddenSSIDEnabler from the Market. Removing the 'Remembered' network. Adding it freshly. Using HiddenSSID. Removing it again. Adding it again. In any order. No luck. onnecting to a non-broadcasting wireless network

I have a D-Link WAP set up for G/N and also set so that it does not broadcast my SSID. My new Hero is able to connect at work to our WAP (WEP security), but at home it can't find my WAP (WPA security). If I change my setting so that it now broadcasts my SSID it can connect, but what the heck? Why can't it connect if I've input the SSID and WPA code, but the SSID isn't broadcasting?

Anyone have a problem connecting to a network with a hidden SSID? My wife can connect to our router fine with her Droid INc (wireless N router). But i can't unless i enable broadcasting the SSID. I found the hidden SSID enabler app, and going to try that. If that doesn't work does anyone else have any ideas? If i enable SSID broadcast i connect right away. If i disable it, i lose the connection and it is "out of range". Very annoying as i live in a condo unit with 10 other wifi networks in my range. Would like to keep my netwrok as private as possible.

I can connect to my wireless router if the SSID is being broadcasted. I cannot connect to the wireless router if the SSID is not broadcasted. I know that on my laptop, this is still achieved. I was wondering if the same could be done with the DINC. Is there a way to connect to the router when the SSID is not broadcasted?

At my work they set the wireless with two channels. One is open to everybody with an email verification and allowed users to connect for 2 hours a day and the other is a hidden SSID that the workers can use all the time. In my iphone I have no issues. I add the network manually and it connects. But on my Sony xperia Z1 when I go to wifi and add the hidden SSID it just said not in range while the other network is in range. So far I tried the Hidden SSID enabler app with no luck. My device has kitkat 4.4.2 and is rooted.

Can Android connect to a network with a hidden SSID? I hide the SSID on all my wireless networks. I've tried two android phone's that simply fail to connect. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or can android just not see hidden networks? I connect to broadcasting networks just fine.

I have several remembered WiFi SSIDs on my Droid, including my home WiFi and one for the local library, which are at least 4 miles apart. I just discovered that my Droid is indicating I am connected to the public library WiFi (as shown in my settings screen), when I'm actually connected to my home WiFi. Just to make sure before posting this, I used Network Discovery to confirm that the devices visible to my Droid were the devices on my home WiFi. Other than the incorrect SSID display, the connection seems fine.

Just got my hands on a Droid and now I'm working out some kinks. My iPhone and laptop have no problem roaming aggressively between multiple access points we have at work that share the same SSID. I can't seem to get the Droid to do the same thing. I've tried downloading some wifi scanners, but they don't quite cut it. Is there a setting I'm missing? The expected behavior would be for the Droid to happily associate with any AP that shares a "remembered" SSID. Right now, it requires manually going into settings and associating with each and every AP in order for it to hop automatically as I move around the building.

I own a HTC Hero and loving the phone but unfortunately I am having problems connecting to my WiFi network. When I turn on the WiFi on my hero it will not show the SSID name of my network. The odd thing is that when I use WiFi scanner (nice program) it shows my WiFi network SSID, but I cannot connect to my WiFi using that program.

I used to keep my SSID broadcast at home disable, and four computers have never had a problem using the network. Only my Incredible doesn't seem to be able to reconnect to a remembered network not broadcasting its SSID. In fact, if I turn off the SSID while the Incredible is connected, it instantly drops the WIFI connection. Anyone have luck having the Incredible use a network without the SSID being broadcast constantly? I'm using WPA2 if that makes a difference.

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 was wondering if there was a compiled list of the secret menu/featre codes that some ppl have found. I remember using a couple to get into menus to adjust some stuff, but forget what they were. If there isn't, then this post can serve as a place to start it !
I'll get it started with the one OR TWO codes I DO remember:
Checkin Service:
Checks for Rolling Updates
dial *#*#24324546#*#* (*#*#checkin#*#*)
Field Test Mode:
Shows diagnostic stuff and usage statistics
dial *#*#4636#*#*
Keep it rolling, and I'll edit this post to keep everthing @ the top... maybe even sticky it if it becomes useful!

The issue that I am having is that if I turn off SSID broadcast on my router, the phone can not connect to the wifi. If SSID broadcast is turned on there is no problem.

I've got the Nonsensikal ROM installed on my phone and I have seen this with other ROMs as well. When I long press on the Home Screen>Shortcuts>Activities>Settings. I see more available settings available then if I pick Menu>Settings. Such as Dock Settings, SIM Card Lock Settings and few others. Why aren't these items to be found anywhere under the normal settings menu?

It's done this twice now (before and after factory reset). 2.1 OTA, not rooted.
Whenever I turn on the wifi, or I become in range of my WPA2 network, it doesn't always connect. I say "always" because it seems to be random. If I toggle wifi on or off, it doesn't always connect. Sometimes it connects after 30+ seconds. Every other device connects just fine.
The only sure way to get it to connect is to force it to rescan, usually by going to Settings and displaying all SSIDs in range. THEN it connects, always and immediately.
The even sillier thing is, it will alert me of open networks, but never connect to my own saved network.

I recently activated my old Blackberry Curve because of my frustration with certain features on my Eris. I thought that I would still be able to browse the Internet on my Eris using wifi only but it's not really working. The reason I say "not really" is because I can do a Google search and look at Google News, etc, but I can't really go anywhere else. If I click on a link, or select one of my bookmarks, it just sits there and eventually times out. Does anyone understand why this won't work? When my Eris was activated, I could use wifi in areas where I had no cell coverage. I may reactivate my Eris soon.... I do miss the fun of it. Also the call quality is somewhat better than my Curve - although the Curve gets better reception in marginal signal areas. Love my Curve for push email and the real keyboard. When it's time for an upgrade, I am going to have a hard time deciding whether to go with the latest Blackberry or Android phone. If they come out with a top of the line android phone with a good physical keyboard (not like the Droid's) I will be very tempted.

My Eris does not seem to be taking advantage of the WiFi speed capabilities of my home network. I just tested my network in multiple ways. I'm getting good connection speeds on all devices EXCEPT my Eris. Here's what I did:
1. I went to Speakeasy.net and tested the hard wired internet connection speed to my PC. The result was 22 mbps down.
2. I tested the wireless connection speed to my laptop, also via Speakeasy.net. Again, 22 mbps.
3. I tested the wireless connection speed to my wife's iMac, also via Speakeasy.net. Once again, 22 mbps
4. I tested the connection speed on my Eris (repeatedly) via a speed test app that I downloaded from the Market. Only 2.5 mbps.
5. I loaded the Speakeasy.net website in my Eris' Android browser and ran the same test. Only 2.9 mbps. So, all wired and wireless devices in the house are getting ~ 22 mbps, while my Eris is getting significantly less. Specifications:
-Eris is running default Android 1.5 OS
- Home wireless router is a Netgear Wireless-N Router model # WNR2000 running in WPA-PSK [AES] security mode. "Mode" is set to the highest -- "Up to 300 mbps."

I am currently trying to braodcast real time voice from Android using RTP to other Android phones connected over Wifi Ad-hoc network. I have few questions in this regard,
1. How to control and set the RTP on Android? 2. Which Codec are supported by Android for voice communication? and how to incorporate them?
We are able to record a voice from microphone and store it on SD card for a playback. The next step would be to link the outstream of real time voice with RTP also incorporating Codec

There seems to be a limit to the number of SMS that can be sent programmatically. It seems to be hovering around 70 to 100 messages. After a batch of messages, when I try to resend a batch I get a warning message "A large number of SMS are being sent. Press OK to continue or Cancel to stop sending" This requires user intervention and impedes the program from sending SMS. Is there a way around this error message? Maybe a way to turn off the warnings?

As in android, after inactvity of screen off timeout, android screen goes off. So here android itself uses some activity observer, to know whether user is currently active or not. I need not every keystroke or touch event with details, just knowing that user is active and getting a broadcastreceiver after some timeout value. Does anybody know something related to activity observing ? I got the code from in frameworks where it broadcast, but I am still figuring out code in android that monitors user activity.I am open to modify code frameworks too. || Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare || || Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare ||

I've been closely watching what i install and what permissions they ask for. I installed "Diet & Food Tracker" by Spark People. On the app market it said that it only needed internet access.
When I looked under manage applications it said the permissions were internet access
read phone state and identity
read and modify sd card data
is it normal to have hidden permission access?
