I have a wireless network at home that is secured by WPA-PSK. When I access the wireless network on my phone it says a network key is required and I enter it. The wi-fi will work for a few minutes and then it will ask me to enter the network key again. Does anyone know how to store the password so I don't have to enter it every time I use my wi-fi at home, or a way to stop it from continually asking me for the password?
Hi, I cannot seem to get my AC3.2 to save my settings. I used it to hide SIM contacts from my contacts, and after a soft reset, the sim contacts are visible once again!
The other thing is, my university uses a WPA and PEAP wifi encryption thing (sorry, I don't really know much about networking), and I cannot seem to connect. I put all my settings in correctly, entered my username and password as instructed (I am required to enter it in), and I cannot connect. What happens is I press "Connect", and it just kinda blinks, but nothing happens..
Any ideas? Thanks
v3.3 is out
there is currently no way to stop sim contacts appearing after softreset
I would like to use a free dial up internet provider that I already have but I cannot figure out how to get the Treo 750 to link up to the dial up ISP and get online so I can browse the net from my phone since I do not have any data plans, etc...
Can someone please show me the directions how to do this? Thanks!
What I did when I used juno many years ago was go to connections and under my network or whatever network you choose add a new modem connection, then name it whatever you like and select "celular line" but NOT "cellular GPRS". Hit next and then enter the phone number you use to dial up on your computer. Hit next and enter the username and password that you use to log on and leave domain blank. Hit finish. Then go to advanced, select networks, select whatever network your isp modem connection is under, and hit edit. Make sure your isp connection is the modem selected and then exit. You should now be able to dial up. When i used it i had to enter in about 4 or 5 different connections with different connecting numbers cause for some reason they did not always want to connect. I'd have to go into connections amd then to advanced and select a different modem with a different number and try again. Good luck.
I figure i would post this in the General section, as this might help others that may need help setting up their static ip .
Here are the steps to set up static ip for anyone needing to do this.
1. go to system settings
2. click on wifi
3. click on add network
4. enter your network ssid
5. choose your security
6. enter your password for you network
7. click save
ok here is where you have to let it find the network, let it connect and aquire an ip address (even thou it is not the correct one) let it do its thing. do not skip this step otherwise you will not be able to configure the ip or save it.
once it says it is connected go back and do steps 1-2
you will see your network and it should say connected.
long press on your network name. it will bring up 2 options.
1 forget network
2 modify network config.
click on modify network config
it will bring up a bunch of settings. scroll down till you see a box that says :" Show advanced options"
click on the box. ( do not save or cancel the window)
scroll down a little bit and you will see 2 boxes
1 proxy settings
2 ip settings <<< click on the lower right hand coner and change this from dchp to static.
once you do this you will see settings under that box input all your info into these boxes *****( leave 3rd box that says " network prefix length" at 24 )******* once you have completed click save and your phone should be connected to you static ip network..
1 ip address
2 gateway
3 network prefix length (Leave this at 24)
4 dns 1
5 dns 2
6 ******* CLICK SAVE ********* not cancel or you will have to repeat the process. LOL Dont ask how i know this 3 times.. LOL
I hope this helps everyone. Sorry for putting up these instructions late, but unfortunatlly i got a little busy trying to fix a loss of root.
If this helped hit the Thanks button.
I would recommend that anyone wanting to get a "static" ip address go into there router and tell there router to set the ip from the mac address. A little of work because it depends on how to do it from router to router but works well in dd-wrt.
You can find how to set static leases in dd-wrt under the "services" tab. This simply allows you to keep your phone a dhcp phone when abroad while keeping a specific ip while at home. In fact, I get the mac address of every device on my network and use this table to set my house statically without having to do anything on the device itself. Comes in handy to know what devices have what ip and therefore and easy way to keep on top of your network security.
^^ that's what I do too.

I also do this. With 10 devices connected and 4 of them I need to know the static address for things to work properly. I can't imagine setting static on each device. Its like a 3 click process via my router regardless of what OS the device is running.
Save static IP in Galaxy S2 ICS
Hi,
After many tries I've found that in order to save a static IP WIFI entry in a Samsung Galaxy S2 under Ice Cream Sandwich you need to fill ALL fields, even the "Network prefix length" field (whatever that is).
So, even though it shows "24", that field is actually empty. Just enter all your IPs plus 24 in that field and you're done.

I'm assuming 24 refers to /24

or 255.255.255.0, which is the subnet for a Class C network and the default network in most home home routers that assign DHCP.
*However* - depending on how you like to manage your own home network, starting from your router, it doesn't necessarily have to be a /24 network. Yes it's more work, but it's not the only option.
(At least I think I'm right. Cisco courses were several semesters ago. ;p)

The "24" left untouched works fine on my SR on UCLE2. What "that is" is the bit length (measured by 8 bits per dot-delimited octet) of the network label portion of an IP address. Where 192.168.1.XXX IDs the network and the Xs are available for node IDs or endpoints. The first 3 octets there are a 24 bit prefix.

On SR and Cappy in ICS I have found that default entry holds when appropriate. What did you mean "Just enter all your IPs plus 24 in that field and you're done." ?

That will work equally. The 255s indicate the potential node IDs in octets 1-3 are blocked as part of the network ID and the 0 in the 4th octet opens all (255 potential node IDs for assignment) in this subnet mask.

On my friend's Xperia Active, that just got updated to ICS, I also tried to quickly input some fields under advanced menu to see if the WiFi would work.
Boy was I wrong!
I had to delete my old WiFi connection, then I had to follow these step-by-step instructions and I had to fill ALL fields in one stroke after pressing "Save". Only then the WiFi worked normally, else it wouldn't transmit data over the internet.
When i try and connect the save button is not pressable.

Well if you followed the directions correctly then you should be able to connect. I have done it this way over and over everytime i change roms, and it works everytime.
Sounds like u are connected to a ghost ip address that says u are connected but not connected to the real ip address. If you have your router setup with a static ip address, then these directions will work. If you have it set to dhcp on your router than all you have to do is set your name, security,password and then the phone should do the rest.

I have the WiFi K1. When I'm at work - I can choose 2 different WiFi networks to connect to - 1 is guest access and is unsecured, the other is a secured network which is for employees and their personal devices. Up until today there was no issue. I was able to connect to the secure WiFi network using my ID and password. Yesterday afternoon my password changed. So this morning, I "forget" the network, then reselect it, add my ID and my new password. But the "connect" button stays grayed out and I can't tap it to connect. I went into the reset settings to reset all the network settings - that didn't work.
Anyone have any ideas why the "connect" button is staying grayed out and/or what I can do to try to resolve it? I have a OnePlus 3 cell phone - and that hasn't had an issue - I was able to connect this morning using my new password.
Thanks ..
