When we connect to an 802.1x EAP wireless network, our sensation force us to set a password or another security option. Is there a way to disable this annoying feature??
The password is a requirement of the network. It is not in the control of the connecting device, since this requirement is enforced by the network.
I connect to my Uni wi-fi in the same way.
Besides, after the first config, it never asks for the password again.
Hope this helps
No my problem is different, it's normal that a network requires a password, but it isn't normal that after the connection and also when not connected the phone forces me to set a pattern, pin or password in the lockscreen. It si due to a certificate, but I don't know how to disable this feature. It's the same on any android device, but for example in the iphone it doesn't exist (don't know on windows phone)
I had that a while ago, but not since rooted and using latest ICS ROM from HTC (ARHD)
I tried every kind of rom, CM9, miui, arhd, ordroid ecc. and the problem is still here...

As a point of reference, I am using a rooted HTC G2 running GingerVillain 1.5.
I have been trying to manually connect to my University's wifi (UT of Arlington if it's any help) The Xpress connect app they recommend does not work as it does not detect the network or something or rather. I don't want to mess with it anymore as it would be better to have the settings OS based than app based unless there is no other way.
So, I tried to set it up manually according to what my computer had set up: PEAP with MSCHAPV2. Android only offered "none specified" for user or CA certificates. It acts like it is going to connect, then promptly disconnects.
I think my problem is similar to this topic which was resolved: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576407
However, whenever I pull wpa_supplicant.conf and change anything, Wi-Fi won't start on the phone. Is there something else I need to do to get a modified one to work? I'll probably still have to play with some settings to get it to actually work with my university.
Ok, I found this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=692254 which fixes the wifi crash when rebooting after modifying wpa_supplicant.conf I'll have to see if I can get the network to work next time I can go to school.
I have [ROM][ICS][BETA][12/25/11] Virtuous Inquisition v1.3.0 :: Senseless ICS (4.0.1)
Which is pretty awesome so far for a beta, I can't get wifi hotspot to work, i need the Network SSID, I am on vodafone Uk contract if that helps.
you can name the ssid anything you like, its just a name to enable you to identify it in the list of available connections that displays on your pc. the pc however always seems to detect the ssid as 'HTC Mobile Hotspot' regardless.
couldn't connect anyhow as the pc always throws out a 'Security Key Mismatch Error'.
i suspect the functions not working properly yet but let us know if you manage to connect.
I know EXACTLY what's happening. If you see in the settings, you can rename your SSID but that parameter is not passed to the "activate" checkbox. I think that value (and the password) simply doesn't get read from the OS, so the name of the hotspot is still "HTC Hotspost... something".
Since I don't know the default password, I can't use it, but fixing the bug should be pretty easy.
cool, lets hope there's a fix fairly soon.
I have OpenSensation ICS and I have a connection to the WiFi at Uni.
the WiFi uses a thawte certificate file to secure the connection along with a username and password. when I installed the certificate file, ICS forced me to enable the lockscreen and only allows password, pin or pattern locks.
I was just wondering if there is any way around this - it is not required to have a lock on ICS (or obviously OSX/windows).
Any thoughts?
No thoughts on this one from anyone?
would like to know too since I use VPN
I created a VPN connection on my S3 but was forced to enter a PIN or a swipe pattern but now I am tired of having to unlock my phone everytime I wanna access it . I have put the auto lock to the max which is 30 mins but I still don't want my phone to be locked.
Is there a way to completely cancel any security / pin / pattern lock while keeping my VPN connection?
anybody home?
As far as I have read, no. There may be someone else to chime in with an app that bypasses it.
I wouldn't recommend it though, as part of the VPN your phone is "directly" connected to the computers and servers of the network you are connecting to. If it is a corporate network and someone who knows what they are doing should happen to find your phone, things could get ugly. The chances of that happening are slim, but enough to warrant the required lock.
when I connect to a captive wifi, I want to use the connection as is (maybe I want to login without telling google - since the builtin authenticator uses their gstatic domain, or maybe I want to probe the network as it is being redirected, or maybe I just want firefox to manage my password to the portal, etc)
but after I select "use wifi as is" on the android webview builtin auth screen, android starts to route all and every traffic to my 3g/4g data connection instead, until I disable and re-enable wifi.
it will only ever redirect traffic to wifi after it successfully got the correct 204 from gstatic.com
is there anyway to work around this?
I am on android6, but I think I has always been like that.

Do you have any kind of Linux ide? Have you tried making a tunnel?
Or is that what your looking for. I'm not 100% sure what your looking for. If your trying to skip Hotspot authentication? Or anything like that Then a tunnel would work fine.
Sorry I can't be of much else help
If your phone is rooted or has a custom ROM (Which would obviously indicate that the phone is rooted), there is a solution that you can try using a terminal (Or ADB shell).
Issue the command: "settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0" That should prevent captive portal detection and gstatic confirmation. This should work, I haven't tried it personally though.
Additionally, you can setup a captive server.
Issue the command: "settings put global captive_portal_server g.cn"
Restart your phone, and you should have access to the pages.
Basically, connecting as is, requires you to reach a site that does not require 204 confirmation and afterward other sites should be accessible. Let me know if this helps.

no root on the phone (damn blackberry priv) and no control of the portal.
this is so infuriating. This is trivial, banal even, on any device i control. Feel like a kid on training wheels every time i touch my phone.
