HTC Incredible :: Using WIFI Network With Disabled SSID Broadcast?
Jul 4, 2010
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.

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 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.

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 recently installed a new Custom Rom "TheBrainsRom" on the SSpeed Kernel v3 on my Xperia U. All was fine until i tried to turn on the Tethering. It shows that it is tethering but then it doesnt broadcast. At times, the Status Bar also gives a force close issue.
Is this usually to do with the Kernel or ROM handles such functions independently. What could i do in order to avoid having to reflash the device.

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?

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 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.

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.

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 have a stock inc and for some reason it won't connect to my home WiFi network. It will connect to other wifi networks. I turned off WEP just to take that variable out of it. No idea what the problem is. I have also hard reset it.

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?

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 just got an HTC Wildfire, but unfortunately I am having problems connection it to my home WiFi network. I am connection to a EDIMAX BR6574n Router and I have the following configured:
SSID Visible
WPA2 AES Passphrase Encryption
Wireless Access control (limits devices by MAC address) have disabled until I can get connected
I have even reset my passprase incase I have forogt it (unlikely). The problem I get is when I try to connect I see the WiFi in the corner of the screen briefly with full bars, but it has a ! next to it and then it disconnects.

An update came through the other day on my debranded Orange Desire. Anyway it has killed the Wifi. I've seen a thread on here about an RUU update?? That fixed it, but no explanation as to what this is or how it was done.

This seems like a common issue developers have yet I couldn't find anything on it (searched through the archives in this mailing list and Google searches). Maybe I just fail at research, but anyway.. My app requires a network connection. If it is disabled I'd like to notify users that it is required and then possibly open the network settings box so they can enable it.

I think I've read on the thread about the Froyo 2.2 release, that a rom has been leaked that will work with Sense on the Desire? Has anyone got any links/guides to getting this to work?
Secondly, I've currently got my phone debranded but this has led to my wifi being disabled since the last firmware update, I know I'll have to root my phone to install the 2.2 rom but will this then mean I will have to input the network code as that's what I was told would need to happen if I was to reflash my phone with the unbranded rom again.

I think this problem arose after I purchased 'Extended Controls'. I turn off wifi (doesn't matter if I use extended controls or not) and the APN Control turns itself on, really quite annoying! Is there any way to fix this? Edit - Forgot to mention, this seems to be intermittent as well :/....

So I updated to 4.3 no problem and a little while later a got some type of a 26 Mb patch. I downloaded it and installed it and since then my wifi will no switch on. I am extremely frustrated with this and I really want to fix this. I would greatly prefer not doing a factory reset if possible.

Friends are setting up a wireless router @ work. we all pitch in some cash to pay for the monthly fee. They want to keep it secure. If the router is broadcasting publicly, my eris sees it and will connect. As soon as it gets encrypted, or password protected, I drop signal and my phone doesn't "see" it. I've entered my mac address into the router in hopes that it will broadcast to me. Can't see it.
It won't even show as a "locked" or "secure" WiFi connection. I've set up the wireless preferences according to network ssid and correct password. No success. Is there something screwy with the eris WiFi system? Anyone else run into this problem? Why is it that I can use WiFi if it's an open, broadcasting signal, but can't use or see it when it's a password protected and privately broadcasting signal? Doesn't make sense to me. Is there an app for this?
thanks for the help!

Just wanted to relay my issues that occurred with Startup Auditor. I use a Moto Droid 2.0.1.
First issue: I disabled Google Talk Startup as non of my friends have an Android device. This caused an issue with the Market. none of my apps would download the updates and I could not Download new apps. The Market is somehow connected to Google Talk. After enabling Talk and logging back in my apps started downloading.
Second issue: I disabled the stock messaging app because I am using Handcent SMS. This caused my text messages to delete themselves. When I opened my messaging treads all that was shown was my side of the conversation. After re enabling the stock Messaging app my messages started downloading and showing up in the treads. Handcent must use some of the same things that the stock app uses and Startup Editor was killing.

I have an android application using LocationManager get the cell network location and not the Wifi location? If I have turned off the Wifi antenna and do the following:LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) paramContext.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);I am always returned the Wifi location and not the cell network location. I want it to return the cell location since I have moved fromthe Wifi location. I tried using a LocationListener but that doesn't seem to help.
