Is there a way to disable WZC, so that I connect only the my predefined WiFi APs, instead of trying to connect to everything available?
My home AP doesn't broadcast ID, thus it often takes a while to actually connect after giving up on other APs nearby

I could really use an app which would provide a widget which lists the nearby wifi networks. The user can then tap on the name of one and opt to connect or disconnect.
I use an ad-hoc network at work and unless I manually switch off wifi, it stays connected even when out of range. I also have two separate wifi networks in range of my home which I use. It would be cool to just have a list in a widget so I can tap to connect to a specific one.
It wouldn't even need to scan, just list saved networks (I'll know if I'm in range of them)
I'm new to Tasker and I need help with setting up a profile. Basically, I need to make it log onto (no security) and SSID, then switch and log onto a different SSID. I won't get into specifics, but for me to log onto this network, I have to work connect to one SSID, then after it's connected, I connect to the second SSID and then I have internet access...but I can't figure out how to make it connect to an SSID by name, then pause long enough to connect (maybe 30 seconds), then reconnected with a different SSID...
Any ideas?
Hi. I'd like to keep my phone connected to a local Wi-Fi network so that I can access a server on that network. However that network doesn't have a working internet connection. Can I keep my phone connected to Wi-Fi but let it use 3G for internet connection? Thank you
Normally when the WiFi is connected to a network the data is automatically disabled so I'd say no to your question.
But Super Download might help.
Could WiFi always scanning be used in this case perhaps? Try it by disabling your WiFi but leaving that option enabled under the Advanced settings.
Of course it wont work to use always scanning. It even says scanning in the name, meaning it simply allows the locations service to turn on wifi briefly in order to see local networks so it can use them to locate you.
What OP is asking for is not natively supported, and would probably require a bunch of modifications on a deep level.
Am I completely missing something here? Why can I not get my watch on our wifi network. It requires authentication. But if I make sure that bluetooth is enabled. It scans the network and I can see it. However if I try to connect it tells me authentication errors. But I can not find a single spot to add login or password or any authentication option. Only options to connect to wifi are AKA and SIM.. How the heck do I get this thing on a wifi network??
Try disconnecting from Bluetooth and allow your phone to locate your wireless network. You should now be prompted for SSID and password. I personally had a hard time entering a complex password as part of WPA2 requirements. So I enabled WPS on my router and used it to connect my S2 fairly quickly. Furthermore, I don't believe it will use Wifi as long as you are connected to the phone via bluetooth. It can switch to wifi if you are out of the range of bluetooth or choose to use the watch in standalone mode.
Sync your saved wifi information from your Samsung account to your watch. It will log into the wifi network. I had the same problem and after syncing with my phone's saved wifi info it says it's logged in but it will not transfer any data on that wifi network.
Works fine on my home network that only requires a password, but I want it to work everywhere I can connect to wifi with my phone.
Haven't found a solution yet.
My problem is when I leave my house and turn on Data my phone searches for nearby wifi, this is fine if I am able to connect.
On some wifi they are so slow the phone will not connect but then I cant browse or do anything that requires a connection as somehow the phone refuses to use data unless I disable the wifi connection.
This is most annoying as I then forget to turn wifi back on when I get home costing me a fortune
