[Q] Short WPA-PSK Wifi Password

Hi there,
I just installed MIUI_Au 1.5.6 R1 (although this issue may be Android wide, I haven't had the chance to test on any other roms yet) on my HTC Desire and love how it is looking! I have one major problem with it though and that is I cannot connect to my wifi network. The password for my wifi is under the 8 character minimum acceptance length. I have no way of changing this password (I'm in corporate housing, hence I don't have access to the router).
To sum up what happens:
- Enter wifi settings
- Pick the wireless network I want to connect to
- Tap in the box to bring up keyboard
- Punch in password
- Try to tap "Connect" but it is greyed out
- Enter extra characters until 8 character length is reached
- "Connect" button becomes active, but trying to connect obviously fails since it is an incorrect password
Note that I have successfully connected to this network with my laptop (Macbook running OS 10.6.7).
How can I connect to my wifi network (only network around that I have access to) with such a short password or am I just stuck?
The security type on the network is WPA/WPA2 PSK.
Thanks ahead for any help or responses!

Same issue here with windows mobile, any ideas????

The WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) key must meet one of the following guidelines:
- Between 8 and 63 characters (A longer WPA key is more secure than a short one)
- Exactly 64 characters using 0-9 and A-F
If your access type is WPA/WPA2-PSK, then there is no way your password is under 8 characters.

some routers do allow short passwords for this type of wifi, but is there a solution to force short password to the mobile without asking the router owner to change his password to longer one?

A router will allow you to have a shorter pass-code on WAP but never on WPA/WPA2-PSK because of encryption. You can't force a phone to accept a shorter code. What i'd suggest is that you go on your router and change the password length, a lot easier.

[Q] Wifi issue - instantly disconnects?

Picked up my Desire S today, all seemed well at work playing with the phone menus etc but now I've got it home I'm having a nightmare trying to get it to connect to my wireless network. It can see the network ok and allows me to put in a password. The phone gives no incorrect password message and seems to connect but will then disconnect right away.
I've tried the static ip fix some people mention for wifi issues with this phone but it makes no difference, has this happened to anyone else?

I always forget to disable mac address filter on my access point when trying to connect with a new device.

Yeah I do have mac filtering on but adding the mac address or disabling address filtering altogether had no effect, but thankfully the phone is now working on my wireless network. For some reason it wouldn't connect until the new sim card I was given had become active, which is very odd!

Can I use an Android Tablet as a way to remotely turn on a home PC

Not sure if this is the right place to put this, forgive me I'm relatively new to these forums.
But what I have difficulty doing (without setting up a whole static ip / dynamic port or w.e) is trying to turn my home PC on remotely, off the network (technically), then I thought my tablet is always at home, connected to the internet, surely I can use it as a gate way to remotely turn my home computer on using a wake on lan app like unified remote, however I now need to find a way to remotely control my tablet (off network) to do this, I thought team viewer would have been the answer but it requires verification on my tablets end rather than password input to control it, does anyone have any recommendations?
I believe splashtop allows remote control but requires you to be on the same network unless you pay, mobizen will technically allow me but i'd need to 2 step authorise it on every PC i go to, which isn't practical for remote connection.
So wondering if theres anything easier which i've missed!

Disabling lock screen when home

Hi, just upgraded to Lollipop and like the way you can set it to disable the lock screen pin when a Bluetooth device is connected but is there anyway you can do the same with a wifi connection?
Basically I don't want to have to put in a pin when the device is connected to my home wifi.

Gear S2 Wifi Authentication

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.
