It happened again. I come to work and my phone doesnt connect. I check the wifi and it is asking me as if it was a new wifi connection. What the hell? I have to enter the whole wep key again. Why does this happen?
this happens to me too
Is there any utility that backs up these settings/ saved keys?
I think only our brains.

Get a reg editor and search Wifi, I think the settings are stored in there somewhere under HKLM.
do you use TF3D/Manila's wifi manager, or the WM default wifi manager?
with EnergyROM 6.5 + Manila's wifi manager, my phone auto connects after setting the password for the first time...
B/G router set to WPA2/AES and WPA1/TKIP fallback
Thanks all. I'll look into it.

Because I have to travel abroad and do not want to user roaming for data I installed the Modaco-nodata program. When I run it, it finds 2 connections for GPRS/G3 installed. When checking in the settings-tab for connections, I had only one. Then I deleted the connection from the settings-tab.
According the connection-setting in the WM6 settings-menu, I have no installed connections. Also when I want to check email, there is an error-message that I cannot get my mail because there is no connection available.
So far, so good.... but....
There are still 2 connections available, because the HTC-Home weather can still connect to GPRS/G3 and also QuickGPS will also make a connection via GPRS/G3. I see the popup that a connection is made with the connection-names programmed before, but they are not in the settings anymore. Also Modaco-nodata sees them, and Spb GPRS monitor too.
It seems that some programs use a different setting to make a connection than others.
Is there a registry-setting where the connections are stored and how can I delete the connections there ???
settings->connections->connections-Advanced-select network
and choose both non isp in the dropdownboxs and it cant use phone network....

OK, thanks for that. That solved one problem, there were also GPRS-WAP and GPRS-MMS settings there ! I block both now too and no unwanted connections anymore after using modaco-nodata.
But I have still have 2 "old" connections which I can see in some programs, but they do not show up in the connections mentioned above. However if I try to make a new connection with the same name, there is an error message saying that there is a connection with the same name already.... Not a very big problem because I know that I can not use them, but I like to remove both. Are those stored in registry somewhere ?

I've got the same problem and looking to start from scratch and recreate these on my own since I have dead profiles and renaming doesnt seem to work. i'm still searching in the registry and if i find anything i'll let you know or you can let me know if you find a way to delete these profiles before i do

Hi guys,
I've been looking around quite some time because I had the same problem.
Here is the registry key where you can find the connection list:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A37-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections
After removing the "old" connections that were appearing in some programs, it's now fine.

To completely remove the connections you also have to delete these connections under
HKCU\Comm\RasBook
Just delete the complete key named like the connection you want to delete.
Then softreset and their gone.

Both "dve1313" and "wilriker" thanks !
That worked.
However HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A37-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections was empty here, but I had another entry named:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections which contains my connections and removed the obsolete ones there worked fine.
my phone was working perfectly on the internet using 3g, o had configured all the settings (vodafone, access point pp.vodafone.co.uk and user and password WAP, until i tried to set up mms, i installed a few cabs, deleted them now, put the connections back to EXACTLY how they were, tried the networks auto configure again and just says somethign like disconnected or lots of "g.00"''" all in some random order, sometimes it says if changing settings fails to fix reset according to manufacturers instructions, although i do not want to do a hard reset as i will lose too much!! anyone got anyyy ideas what i have done wrong?
and
please can someone tell me how to get to
"HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A37-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections was empty here, but I had another entry named:

as i have a couple ofblank connections, ideally i would like to reset just the connection side of the device leaving the rest...but can't!!
thanks in advance!!
I have Windows Live Mobile installed so after a soft reset, the program automatically attempts to make a data connection. However, the data connection tab in the comm manager is set to off by default, so a connection can't be established.
Is there any way on the AT&T Fuze to set the data connection on by default?
Thanks....and yes I searched "data connection default" but didn't see anything related to this problem.
Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3 or Diamond Tweak 0.5.3 have an option to have data always ON. However, this will kill your battery in no time
thanks for your help. i have those programs, but i'll look them over again.
EDIT: i looked at both and don't see an option to always have a data connection enabled. under data, you can obviously enable various connections and i already have those set. but i don't see the option to always have the connection on.

Funny how I'm trying to do the opposite. For some reason my data turns on by itself. I turn it off and a few minutes later it turns itself on again. It's really a battery drainer.
If anybody knows how to change it so it will default to off, please post. Thanx.

Certain apps/functions will need data access depending on their polling settings. Email and weather, for example. I disabled the auto updates for those and am hoping to see the data connection stay OFF when I set it.
Hope this does the trick.
I had to configure a bogus network so the device wouldn't get anywhere even if it tried... because it would seemingly reactivate at will.
I dont have a data package for my fuze so i want to disable it from connecting when i load an app that uses internet. I wish to have wifi as my default connection.
Is there a simple way to do this?
Search for the nodata app. It will allow you to disable all data connections other than wifi. I am in the same situation as you and it works out fine for me so far.
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=24287
or you could just go to your connection settings and under advanced select My work network in both drop down boxes...
um you could just go to the connection settings and delete the dial up profile
Or you could just go to Comm Manager and turn off Data Connection.
go to settings, then Communications and turn off your data connection.
yeah but he doesnt have a data connection that wouldnt stop it from dialing up would it?
If there's no wifi - it will automagically turn the data connection back on (when it needs one - weather/email/etc.). Why there's even a switch.... i dunno.
Well i did disable so it didnt even come up so i dont get charged even the smallest amount. However youtube doesnt work with wifi, everything else does.

I have disabled data connection and Youtube works great for me over wifi, so don't worry, it's not a software limitation.
I cant figure it out then, it doesnt seem to work over wifi. Perhaps your just a lucky fuze user.
Edit:WOW JUST POSTED THIS, Tried it and now its working lol
You can always ask your service provider to put a data block on your account, just to be on the safe side

just go to the network settings and create a fake / none network and set that as the default.
thats what i did worked perfectly
hope this helps
call at&T to have them put the internet block code on that phone number

This might sound noobish, but do you have a step by step?? Is it on Settings>Connections>Advanced>Select Netwoks>....?? Thanks in advance.
Search and dowload NOGPRS cab. It should be a zipfile with a cab in it. Run the cab on yout phone. You should now have an icon that says Nodata. This allows you to toggle the connection so it can come on freely when needed by an app, or not come on at all even if an app needs it. Pretty self explanatory. No need to create fake accounts, or delete anything. If you delete stuff, then when you need to use it if ever, you have to re-enter everything. This eliminates that.
I have a problem with my internet connection.
It connects all the time, but I have no service which requires a connection.
Everything is turned off such as email, weather or a browser.
How can I find out what is causing this connection and turn it off?

Go to start/settings/connections/connections/manage existing connection/then longtap on your operator, select 'delete'.
That should do the job.
Also, in communication manager, disable Data Connection.

That is the weird thing: If I disable data connection, it instantly connects again.
And and I dont want do delete my carrier.
I need internet, but not all the time.

OK. Then you can try Modaco Nodata. You'll need to register though.
On my S5, all saved wifi connections were visible in the wifi settings page. On the S7, it seems that only the connections within range are visible. If you go into the data usage / restrict networks, every saved wifi connection is displayed, but there is no way to delete them from there. It seems that there is no way to delete a saved wifi connection once it goes out of range. Anyone know how to do this?

Exactly the same issue here. Anyone got any workarounds (non-root)? Third party apps don't seem to work. Pretty ridiculous that you can't forget a saved network and causes a serious issue for me: I have to change my password at work and can't forget the WiFi AP before getting to the office so I'm locked out of my work account...
It is a bit annoying but I can't see how it's a problem?
How are you locked out of your work account?
You can change password when you are in range.
What's the other issue?

The problematic are Hotel / Airport / etc. Hotspots...
When i received my S7 i "load" an backup from my old android phone... I few days earlier i returned from a long holiday trip and so the "restore-backup" created a lot of hotspots an my S7 i never never need and i'm not able to delete ....
(OK - i can start for a second trip, visit all places and delete hotspot when connected... ) <-- ironic

We use exchange authentication for WiFi at work. The phone automatically tries to connect using the old password as soon as i'm near the office. Does this three times and locks my ability to use the WiFi. This is before i have chance to see it and forget it in the WiFi settings. Such a simple omission in the UX makes this even an more annoying issue.
Yeah OK the work thing sounds a bit troublesome. I would turn off wifi before I go then turn it on when I'm ready and forget the network before it connects.
...
The holiday wifi hotspot thing i don't get still.
Why is that a problem? You can't see the networks anyway. Is it just an ocd thing?
well you have a drastic option, if nothing else works
go settings>backup and reset>reset network settings
this will erase all your wifi, as well as all bluetooth and data connections saved

The problem with the holiday Hotspots is at least not a real problem... But I don't like this.
I would prefer a function to delete Hotspots even when I'm not connected to them...
(maybe it is small security issue, because a common SSID can be used to connect with my phone...)
Wifi Manager - choose Known network, then remove.
I reported this to Samsung support. That's the only way to get them to fix it. The more people report it, the more likely they are to fix it sooner.
As for whether it's a "problem", I suppose it's not immediately a show stopper. However, after only a couple of weeks, I accumulated a lot of hotspots that clutter up the restrict networks page. Who knows, if too many build up it could cause an problem. There is no reason for Samsung to have implemented it in this way. I've never seen a device (mobile or pc) that did this.

Thanks, but Android 6 only allows you to forget those networks that you've connected to using the same app. So you can only forget those that you connected to with WiFi Manager, not the in-built settings.

Edit: you're correct. I think root and find where file or db that stores the SSID would be the next option.
Edit 2: Get a root editor, backup /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf, then edit it to either remove the entire SSID entry, or set autojoin to 0. There may be root apps that does this.
The plain text passwords are also stored in that supplicant file.
I don't think there is any non-root solution until Samsung changes the Wifi settings to show out-of-range SSIDs. I agree that it is silly for it to not do have this feature at all.
2 solutions so far (?)
Hi,
if you have a non rooted S7 there is no build in possibility to delete the saved wifi connections if you are out of range. Samsung has to fix this in my opinion.
With Marshmallow you can only delete wifi networks with the same app you created them, so third party apps like wifi manager do not work. So far there might be two solutions which work, both are far away from being perfect.
- First solution is to delete ALL network connections...and start from the beginning (1. Go to settings -> 2. Bakup and reset -> 3. Reset network settings -> 4. Follow on screen instructions)...including bluetooth etc.
- Second solution is not fine either. Take a third party app like wifi manager from Kostya on play store and list all known networks. Then set up a (fake) wifi access point with the SSID you want to delete. Once they are in range, you can delete the saved wifi connection. You have to repeat this for every SSID you want to delete.
Best regards,
Alexander

can not remove!
I updated my S7 today (with Sprint) to Android 7, and they fixed this. Out-of-range WiFi networks are listed under the "Manage Networks" options and can be removed from there.
