[Q] Auto change hotspot / wireless - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi folks, first post here.
Just bought a Galaxy N8010 WiFi & have a S5830i phone. I have unlimited data on the phone so I have created a portable wifi hotspot to use with the 5010. But when I get home I need to use home wif. Sometimes I forget to switch over. Is there a way to get 8010 to automatically change from this hotspot to wifi when I get home. I've looked at loads of wifi apps but can not find anything that will do this.
Tried Tasker but can not get my head around it.
Both are rooted. N8010 runs stock JB. S5830i runs stock Gingerbread. Both with latest updates.
Thanks in advance & sorry if question has been asked before.

[Q] Internet problem on Android 2.2 on HTC HD2 T-Mobile

Hi kincawine3
I have the same problem. I live in the Netherlands with Tmobile as my carrier, full data plan etcetera.
I installed android 2.2 my wifi works, my internet doesnt. It says 'connected', it even shows the right icons in the taskbar, but no internet.
I tried erasing my apn settings and resetting them and I tried factory settings but to no avail. I ringed Tmobile about it and (as was to be expected) they couldnt help since they suggested the above.
Help would be immensely appreciated.

First of all, make sure you're not set to a static IP (which i assume you're not).
You might also want to check a different kernel. I'm not familiar with the kernel used in your build so i couldn't tell you what to expect - but there are 2 kernels running for the HD2 (hastarin's and mdj's). you can try to use them and see if it helps. the older builds had problems with ppp which are now (more or less) fixed.
read the instructions on how to replace the kernel and let me know if you run into any problems.
Thanks Nir
Hi,
While i do not share the problem of no internet access, the connection drops off regularly. Why, but more practival how do I fix it?
I can often see the signal switching from 2G to 3G to HSDPA, perhaps this has someting to do with the connection going dead. Is there a way to keep the signal fixed on 3G? Like there is an option to only maintain 2G connections.
When i go to Settings and disable + enable internet access it works fine. Sometimes the connection goes dead every five minutes, sometimes rarely.
Facts: HTC HD2 WinMobile 6.5, Android 2.3 via SD card method.
Unlimited data plan.
regards from Netherlands

[Q] GizRoot_v_2:: Two issues Can Fix?

Hello, I applied this ROM yesterday I don't have enough posts to put the question in the original thread where I downloaded the ROM but I am
and am very happy with the results but there are two issues. One is that I no longer get the “weather sound” when the clock/weather widget is doing a full screen animation.
No huge deal but I kind of liked that.
The other thing, which is a big deal to me, is that the wireless will not connect automatically, either to open wifi that is remembered, or at home where I have WPA security. It also does not notify me of open networks, even though I have that option checked. Another thing (and this goes back to the OEM ROM as well) is that there are three “AT&T Wifi Hotspot” listings and I cannot “forget “ them.
I connect to one of these at Starbucks but do not know why there are three of them. I also do not use AT&T I use a pre-paid T-Mobile with no date plan so that is why the auto connect to Wifi is so important.
Can anyone offer any advice? I am a total newb but I think I did the “full wipe” correctly, I ran a file called FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4_.zip
However, I noticed that after the wipe/ROM flash I still had my remembered wireless networks on the phone, as well as the name of the phone for Bluetooth, which I had changed. So it did retain some info even though it make me do the whole setup routine again once I had flashed this ROM.
Thanks in advance for any advice. I do like Sense but wanted some of the stuff I can do with root, but it is very important for me to be able to auto connect to remembered wifi networks as I don't have a data plan. I really don't want go go back to the unrooted version that is posted on the HTC page.
OK stupid a** me I found the toggle for weather sound so now the only issue is the connection to WiFi if anyone can help out. I have tried toggling WiFi on and off, forgetting and then re-connecting to my home WiFi, a restart and an off/on start, but once I am disconnected from a known Wifi it will not reconnect on it's own I have to go into menu/wireless/networks and then it will do a scan and connect automatically, but with the stock rom it always connected automatically, to remembered networks once I was in range, even if the phone was in sleep mode.
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks. Thread moved.

[Completed] New Wifi Issues

Hello everyone. I'm not sure if this is the correct spot for this issue but any help would be greatly appreciated. A few days ago I started having an issue with my Verizon HTC One M8 connecting to my home wifi. I have Comcast (Xfinity). I can connect to my home wifi but not all of the apps are working now for some reason. Music streaming apps like Slacker, Pandora and 93.7 The Beat no longer connects via my home wifi. Social sites like POF, OkCupid and MeetMe no longer connect either. I can surf the internet and watch Youtube videos with no problem. I have rebooted my modem and wifi router and phone and still no positive results. If I connect to Xfinity wifi, all of the apps work without issue. I haven't made any changes to my phone settings or router/modem settings. I am on the stock rom with S-Off and unlocked bootloader. I can continue to use the Xfinity wifi (although I don't know where it's coming from), but I'd like to use my home wifi (it is faster even though that's not an issue). I still have the unlimited data through Verizon so data use isn't an issue either but I'd like to use my wifi. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for any help and once again, sorry if this thread is not in the correct spot in the forum.

[Completed] Broke my Wifi with an App?

Hello!
Yesterday I Installed the Application Pry-Fi (Pry-Fi Changes MAC-Addresses) on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005). The app worked great and did what its supposed to to.
When I went sleep I turned my Wifi off. The next Morning I wanted to turn my wifi back on but it doesnt work anymore. If I turn wifi ON the switch changes but doesent go green. After 10 to 20 seconds wifi turns back off. I'am Not able to search for wifi networks Anymore but I can my a Wifi Hotspot with my Phone. So I think that my WIFI Antenna/Chip isn,t broken.
I made a factory reset so I can use Wifi Again but It doesnt change. Wifi is not able to turn on!
What should I do the make the Wifi work Again??? Please HELP me!
Should I have to root my Phone again, install the app and try to fix it?
Sorry for my bad english
Regards and Thanks!
(SM-N9005, Android 4.4.2, Yesterday rooted - today unrooted, Pry-Fi installed via Google Play)

[Completed] Purchased Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300 Second-Hand, Wifi Not Working

S3 wifi not working
I just purchased second-handed Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300 (international ver) to replace my old Samsung Galaxy Mini (GT-S5770). I purchased this cuz the price tag on one of local stores is just too tempting me to buy one, plus, giving me free true leather phone case! (though my target was Acer Liquid Z410, but not available on local stores and i dont know how to buy online as well)
The phone conditions, well, do have some minor scratches at the sides but the previous owner was middle-age man, and im not so picky with that detail.
The phone is great, well, except, the WiFi isnt in good condition in normal uses. (means, i can still uses them. details in below)
The S3 properties,
Android 4.3
International ver, GT-I9300
16 GB ver (which i found out some cases with unbootable S3, with 16GB ver only)
unroot
all related to network setting (includes mobile network, Bluetooth network, WiFi) is in default
The problem is, the WiFi.
The phone does detects WiFi hotspots or access points from far (in fact, it can detect my neighbour's home wifi even though is quite far, well, maybe around 20-30m, well, the signal was weak though).
SInce my home wifi is hidden, i pre-set the wifi. but, it wont even connect or even detect my wifi. My Internet TV with WiFI Direct do detected though (no internet connection since it wont host internet to devices who connect to the TV)
But, when i place my S3 like below 700cm range, my S3 detects my wifi and connects like normal devices. But when it get like further than 1m, the WiFi does not receives any data at all and after a while, the WiFi disconnected.
After i bought this phone, i hard factory reset my S3 (before reset, i didnt test WiFi and also from my uncle's advice cuz my phone seems a bit slow, well, he used to have S3). I didnt had a chance to test WiFi until i got home and tried to connect my WiFi.
I've tried many method i found online, (again, the WiFi only works if i put my S3 side by side with the access point/s)
Reboot router (I always reboot them cuz the router sometimes bugging) = not working.
Forget the network in S3 and preset. = not working
Tied with static IP address (connecting to my hidden network)(with google DNS) = not working
Enabled unhidden, open wifi profile on my router, try connect. = not working)
Connect to my TV's WIFi with WPA security = not working (tried to connect but just fails)
Tried *#0011#, Wifi, turn off power saving = not working
Things i havent tried,
reset again the S3
revert to factory firmware (actually, i tried but Kies 3 just wont work at all... it said that the device cannto be initiated or similar... so, the S3 didnt do anything)
using Odin to revert to stock factory rom
using Odin to update to unofficial kitkat rom
before im going to use Odin, which i dont ever done before, do you think that reset this phone to factory setting will fix this problem?
