Anybody knows how to let the WP7 phone connect to a non-broadcasting SSID WIFI?
It is easy in WebOS, Android, Iphone but I cannot do it in WP7?
Thanks
Don't think anyone in this forum actually have a device yet...
But i wonder if there will be a quick way to activate wifi/bluetooth, without having to go to the phone settings every time
Well, pretty hard to tell from the just emulator you know...

That's right you cannot pin down Wifi and BT to put them in the startup screen

For me the intitail question is still valid, anybody knows how to connect my WP7 phone to a non-broadcasting SSID WIFI?
There is an app for HTC devices only.

Most important than a quick switch, I think that is how fast it reconnects to your wifi when you wake up your phone.
Anyone at Mango noticed that sometimes it's almost instant, and sometimes it takes about 5 seconds to connect?

I've been on mango for a few days and it has always been instant for me. Are you connected to a hidden wifi?

I use "Wifi Auto Toggle" now to turn wifi on/off when I forget about it, but I have a problem where my wireless will randomly get stuck "authenticating" with my school's WPA network so it will appear to be connected without any problems, but you won't be able to access the internet with it. This means that Wifi Auto Toggle won't think to disconnect it, so it will sit there until I pick up my phone and realize that I need to reconnect. Any suggestions are welcome!
You can use tasker to turn the wifi on and off depending on time, location, whether the phone is plugged in, etc. It's confusing at first but it works wonders!!

I'd prefer an app that isn't $6... Also, it just needs to toggle the wifi on a set schedule (say, every 15 minutes). That way I could easily turn it on or off depending on where I am.
Saw an app call Modus Operandi in the main app forum that might do what you want (kind of a free Tasker alternative). I use Tasker though so I don't know how well this app works...

I have an old Touch Pro 2 that I just gave to my sister. Her line doesn't have unlimited data on it like mine did, and even though I've disabled everything that might use the data connection in the background, I'm just afraid of that one thing she might do to turn it on.
Is there an app or setting to completely disable it so that she can use it as a phone and for the wifi only without the data?

Disable data in connection manager. Show her where it is, and tell her to NEVER enable it, lest she get charged thru the nose.

She keeps telling me I'm putting parental controls on the phone by disabling the data services. It's almost like that. Even I would be afraid to use a smart phone loosely without an unlimited plan. My g2x has things always running in the background that uses data.

If you disable data, I don't see how it can still use data in the background...
Certainly that cab is a more brute-force solution to the issue. I guess if she NEVER needs 3g data, then that's fine... but you say she has at least a limited data plan, does she not want to use it at all?

She doesn't have a data plan at all. That's why I want to turn it off, because if she goes on it, it'll run up a mega bill.

Can you explain what you mean by this? Did you mean Comm Manager? Or the Connections section under Settings?
The Data Connection button in the Comm Manager only disconnects the current connection, but any app will open the connection again if it needs to.
I'm overseas with my unlocked TP2 now, and bought a local sim so that I could make voice calls, but the damn data connection keeps reconnecting and depleting my balance! I've even created new dummy connections IOT disable the connection, but it keeps opening it anyway. I'm not opening any apps, but SPB Wireless Monitor attributes it to the 'system'.
Very frustrating!

I... don't remember having this issue, but it's honestly been quite some time since I've used WinMo.
Perhaps see the cab that was posted earlier. I thought disabling the data cxn would keep it off - I'm pretty sure it did for me running EnergyROM, but again... this was quite some time ago.
But yes to answer your question in Comm Manager.
So this has happened to me at home and work but it's not consistent. Some times when I try to connect I get a message on the WiFi connect that says "Network disabled because Internet connection is slow" (see picture). Any idea what criteria is used to determine this, and is there a way to over ride it?
I'm at work right now and I just got kicked out wifi due to too slow lol.. but at home I have not got it yet.. maybe too much people at work using the wifi network. .
I setup my home network to have separated name (SSID) for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz Network.
When I connect to the 2.4Ghz channel, no problem.
At the same distance, like 6 inches away from the router, when I connect to the 5Ghz channel, my 2 Galaxy Note 3 shows the same "network too slow" error and it will drop the connection.
This is one of the many reasons I returned my GSN 3
I also experienced another WiFi error.
At work, I can connect to the WiFi network with the WPA password provided, on my HTC One with no issue whatsoever.
When I tried to connect to the same network using the Note 3, it keeps telling me I have to "sign-in", when I click on the browser to "sign-in" (like those Free WiFi you can get at the hotel), there is no sign in page (because there is none) and brings me right to Google.com.
After that, the connection will last for 30 seconds or so and drop off.
The one I got initially and the replacement, both have the same issue, and I did inform T Mobile before I return them back.
4.3 problem? Samsung's problem? I don't know... All I know is I will wait until they resolve all these before I will reconsider getting this phone.
I spoke to them on same issue. Got new phone and they working on updating the WiFi drivers.
NOTE 3
Here is the fix for this it worked for me try this....
Go to wifi advanced settings lower left corner then uncheck auto network switch. Then check the box that pops up that says don't ask again. This should fix your wifi connecting issue...

So far yes. Not a 100% sure though because the problem was not consistent. Sometimes it would connect sometime give the message. So, I'll keep you posted if it comes back.
Not trying to say your post isn't serious enough but we all who are having this problem on a consistent basis need to make a thread about this and just not take anything for an answer, but to give people somewhere to complain about this & hopefully bring more attention to this because there is nothing that is fixing this issue. The only thing that will fix this is Samsung or a Dev on a custom ROM hopefully. If you uncheck the options in advanced settings, it just stops the pop up from coming up telling you the connection is to slow & dropping you, after unchecked it dont drop you but while still showing you a full connection it will not do anything data wise, connect to the internet, switch to a different site, no facebook, no twitter, no market etc..... Nothing, you dont get dropped you just cant do anything. I hope my anger dont make anyone think Im arguing with anyone in here and their opinions, we all have this problem and are trying to help eachother, im just poitning out that those who are thinking this is fixing things its not, its just stopping the pop up. I am very frustrated this is happening on a brand new phone i waited this long for and paid as much as i did for. There should be a freaking petition started for this cause its just wrong.
Works fine for me my wifi never disconnects now after unchecking auto network switch and always scanning... Idk what to tell you guys that are still having the issue because I had the same issue when I first got the phone too...
Maybe try forgetting the network then reconnect after unchecking those settings and reboot...

Not all phones are created equal. Samsung needs to change the wifi drivers on the phone or a dev needs to take note 2 drives and add them to a custom rom.

I posted this in a different forum also but figured id post it here to. I just got off the phone with Samsung & they told me its not a major reported problem, wtf, lol? Everyone i know who owns this phone has this problem with it sayin internet connection to slow and booting them off, even with full signal. Im on my 2nd phone now & have the same problem. They tried telling me to go in to the wifi call settings & turn off wifi calling preferred, & i said why? Even though it's checked I have it off. I said seriously? what is that going to do for a wifi signal problem, lol. It's not my wifi calling it's my full wifi signal. I can tell this is going to be a huge problem & im returning my phone, 3rd time now, for a new one today, if i get the same problem, almost positive i will, im sadly going to have to return this phone & just get a refund instead. & that would really suck. Maybe i'll try a black one, but im sure it probably happens on that one to, lol.
I have been having this problem also. Turning off "Auto network switch" in the advanced network settings allows the phone to hold on to the connection, but it is completely unstable. I tested the connection using iPerf and it was all over the place. I can post screenshots when I get home later if it helps anyone. Samsung definitely needs to step in here.

Samsung could careless about us. They sold the phone to TMOBILE not us. Or whatever ur using. Everyone needs to complain to the big 4 major company. Then if they get hit hard then they can light a fire under Samsung butt.

Does anyone know of a way to get aggressive wifi to cellular handover back in Android P? It used to be an option under developer options.
It's still there. Under networking. Turn off mobile data always active.
Like me lol
That's not the same thing. In older versions that was there but there was also the aggressive handover option.
My problem is that whenever I'm right outside of my work building it keeps connecting to wifi, but the signal is so weak nothing happens until I turn off wifi.
With the option that used to be there this wasn't a problem.

Oh yes! Now I remember what you're talking about. Sorry man.
Maybe it's just not available yet in the betas.
So... this setting is missing on the official version also... did it move somewhere else or was it removed permanently?

I no longer see it either, but remember using it back on my 6P.
The mobile data always being on should work just fine for that though.

Perhaps some cellular provider business partners urged Google to make some more money for them.. and voilá.. there goes your "agressive handover" switch.. Instead of really useful, real customer-usecase driven features, like this, we get a dozen of useless vapor-features like digital wellbeing, that no one ever uses. Thanks, Google
Hey guys,
Trying on this more active forum...
I just bought the S21+, overall great phone except couple of issue with Android Auto and Whatsapp.
I was able to fix the Android Auto issue (wouldn't connect, had to remove the latest Google Chrome updates) but the whatsapp issue is above my paygrade.
I scanned the QR code and everything works but as soon as the phone screen goes black, whatsapp is slow and disconnects often. Not completely disconnected as after I send a message perhaps 10/15 seconds later it gets set but still not responsive as before (S8+)
Any idea?
you can try other software to watch network connection status, if no problem, maybe that's compitability issue on s21+

Not sure if you managed to fix this but in case you haven't.
You need to make WhatsApp a non-optimized app in the battery settings. That way WA will consume as much battery as needed to stay alive and to connect to WA Web.
