On my Resound, I could change the name of the phone that appears on Bluetooth device lists or when it connects from the model number to something else (e.g. "HTC Rezound"). Can you do this on the S3?
Thanks!

On stock or a TW-based ROM:
System Settings > Bluetooth > (press Menu button) > Device Name
Sometimes things are right in front of you and you still don't see them.
Thanks!

Probably a silly question, but here goes. Is there any way of stopping wifi from finding new networks? I only really want to connect to my wifi network at home (which it does automatically) but it keeps giving me popups with new networks to connect to. I tried selecting 'don't show this message again' but it makes no difference, the same networks keep on popping up.
Am I missing something?
Start > Settings > Personal > Sounds and notifications (i think, got the norwegian rom so not sure) > Notifications > Choose "New wireless network discovered" (or something like that) from the list, and uncheck "show message on screen".
should do the trick.
it's there but it's unchecked on my pda and it still does it
when i am at home i would like to use my wifi connection but it appears that it still tries to use edge. how do i configure my connections so that it uses wifi if connected?
thanks
Hey,
have you properly set up ur wifi connection on ur device including any password protection and security (WEP/WPA etc).
Also and this might seem daft, but is ur wifi connection on router properly working or have you set up any access restrictions on router?
its not a question on whether the wifi connection actually works but edge overriding it.
but... yes i did all of the necessary steps to add my device (wep password, mac address added etc...)
if i turn the phone off the wifi works just fine.
thanks for the reply.
Hy,
you have to set the networks (Internet and Private Network) to "My Work Network".
Does this not work you have to make a rom update.
Greatz

You will find it at Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Avanced -> Select Networks
that just makes everything not work
Which rom version do you have? Which device do you have? Which Provider Label do you have?
its all in my sig
I find that if I want to switch from cellular data to WiFi, I have to hit the Data button in the Comm Manager, then hit the WiFi button. Otherwise, it doesn't seem to switch. If I just turn on WiFi, it connects, but never know which one is going to be used.
Go to:
Touch "Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Network Selection.
Set both settings to "Office Network"
If this does not work then install a small file called "No data" or "Modaco No data"

no data works by removing a registry key for your connection settings..... so it will also disable your picture messaging and/or email if you use it. (just a heads up)
How do I find my mobile phone number. Is it stored in " settings?"
Settings > about tablet > status > MDN is your number.
Great, thanks.

When I view the status > MDN it says "Unknown". All the other information like Service status and Mobile Network state are showing connected and In Service.
3G and Wifi work for browsing. But when I would like to play games or use other apps that requires internet access, 3G won't work. Wifi still works like a charm.
Is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks.
I have Xoom TeamEOS CornerStone Nightly.
when connecting some wifi, I need to set specific proxy to make it work. how to change that with HTC ONE S? didn't find it. and I even download two apps named "proxy settings", seemd both of them points out that is supposed embedded in 3.x android.
but I can't find it.
In the Wi-Fi list, press and hold your specific wireless network until the option 'Modify network' pops-up.
Scroll down until you reach the 'Show advanced options' at the bottom, and activate the checkmark. The funny thing about this option is, that with the checkmark on, the options list suddenly becomes larger, showing also the Proxy settings, IP and DNS. Took me three attempts before I finally noticed the change, when I was searching for the DNS options on HTC Sense.
I've tried every 3.6 rom out there on my evo3d, with full wipes, and on none of them can I find where to find/login to wireless networks. I can connect to them fine during the phone setup process, but I can't find the settings to connect to new ones later. I feel like I must be missing something stupid.
What headings do you have in the Settings menu? There should be a "Wireless & Networks" heading, with an item called "WiFi" (next to it will be the "ON" "OFF" switch).
Assuming you have all of that, press the switch to turn on WiFi if it's turned off. Then press on the word "WiFi" (not the switch). This should bring up your list of available networks.
