BAN BT OpenZone

Hi Guys
We have recently had BT open up a Wifi ripoff spot. My Desire seems to like it and is willing to connect to it rather than the 3g network. The wifi spots are unsecured and direct you to the Payment page.
Is there a way to ban this wifi spot so that it will still auto connect to all my other wifi spots that I added myself?
Thanks in advance

Have you taken it off of your remembered hotspots list? If not go to setting, wireless and networks, wireless or WiFi then it should give you a list of remembered hotspots. Click on a hotbot and the option to forget should pop up

hi mate i have seen this option but did assume it would just find it again anyway. Does the network go on some sort of hidden blacklist once you tell it to forget.

oh I am going to try it anyway btw and thanks very much for the reply.

If you connect to an open network, it will always try to reconnect to it again once you are in range. So, you need to "forget" the network - it isn't blacklisted and you can still connect to it again if you wish, but it won't try to auto-connect all the while it is "forgotten".
Regards,
Dave

Sorry for opening up this old thread, but I have a issue in the same line, altho fundamentaly diferent:
I have a number of accessible networks within my range. I have a small issue with the auto connect. Is it possible to have the phone remember the network settings for networks, but NOT auto-connect to them?
Or make an ordered list with most preferred AP on top? When I'm in my garage, signal strength make the phone conect to my neighbor (I have his network in my list too, as I often visit and then uses his AP), but want my own LAN and shared folders accessible...
Not sure you guys get my meaning. It wasn't very well written, but I hope you are able to help?

Wildfire S WiFi problem!

I can't seem to connect to my home network on the Wildfire S.
When I turn WiFi on, it shows my home network but I can't connect to it.
I tap 'connect', the window closes, and that's it. WiFi keeps showing 'scanning'.
I'm in India and I'm using a Belkin router.

Resatrt Your phone and restart your router.If the problem still persists then factory reset your phone.

A friend owns a Wildfire S and says that in his home router, getting out of the room where thw router is, Wildfire loses it's signal! Is it common in W S devices?
Could it be the firmware or a bad router?

Depends, what kind of walls does he have, and doors... do other phones/devices get the signal from the same place ? ...
If no other devices get signal at same place, it's router ?
Otherwise .... well, we will see after you answer

Try using the libril.so file from the latest HTC Stock that you upgraded the radio too. Rename and replace the original libril.so in your CM7x /Sytem/Lib/ folder give the HTC libril.so the same permissions and reboot.
There is a thread on it by me in the general index thread.

Solved by following this thread
I had a similar problem after having flashed an unofficial CM 10.1 on my HTC Wildfire S

Why is it not working? The menu isn't there? Are you on a stock rom?

if u r using an app, dont, could be the app itself having an issue, especially if your phone is not rooted, as most tether apps require root, try doing it through the settings directly and test it out, make sure u allow access to all devices (after you set a password for the AP that is), because if u select only allowed devices, you cannot connect even with a password

I just tried it with the stock app and it worked. It didnt at first, I entered the correct password I have chosen in win 7, told me limited access. The problem was coming from the type of security it wasnt the right one, in my case wpa2.

i have just rooted my phone ....
didn't custom the rom....
there a lot of choise in the setting , what i have to do to make it work fine..?

settings
->Wireless and network->More settings
->Network->Tethering and portable hotspot
->portable Wi-Fi hotspot ----> Activate swiping to the right --> Green showing
...it will show for 1s "Enable portable Wi-Fi hotspot..."
tap on Portable Wi-Fi hotspot
-->tap on configure on the bottom right corner
-->name your network SSID
-->choose the type of security you want (I recommend WPA2 PSK then choose a password, but you are free to keep it Open)
-->Save
... it will show enabling... for 1s
Finally you can search your hotspot from the device/computer you want to use it with. (be sure to right click on the network then properties to select the type of security the password is assimilated to)
Voila

i have the exact same problem...i can't make it working.. don't know why...in my case the other device can detect my phone and i already allowed the device mac address...the device is connected but to some point it cannot surfing the web.. my phone was also rooted and running stock rom

Go to Settings -> under wireless and network go to More Settings -> Tethering and Portable Hotspot -> click on Portable Wi-Fi hotspot -> Click on what is under the "Help" line, it should either say Allow all devices to connect or Only allowed Devices, if its set on the latter then switch it to Allow all devices to connect
This option doesn't mean that you access point is open to everyone, as it will only allow the devices that has the WPA2 PSK/password to use the AP, it just wont filter them based on mac address etc, give it a try, and see if that works for you.

Of course the US carriers will charge extra for this.

Thats what I figured, but there was no warnings whatsoever when turning on the hotspot about tethering fees..

[Expert advice needed] [HELP Reqd] Wifi connecting but not working...why?

I updated my HOX to ViperX JB with hBoot 1.31.
But now, it connects to WiFi router but the internet doesnt work. It works sometimes, else the internet is not working. I tried on another router at a different place, but it is not working. Also i updated hBoot to official 1.39 also, but the problem persists. Restarting the router several times and clean install of the rom didnt help. The boot.img is also from the same rom and all else works fine . What could be the problem? please someone guide me.

i have had similar issues since moving to official JB and HTC aren't that helpful, just say must factory reset the device and see what happens - have now installed viper 3.3.1 and get the same problem - never had the problem when i was on ics - get full signal - and using wifi analyser also shows full - tried on 2.4ghz and 5ghz - it just wants to stop transferring data - if i disable wifi and reset it then it works fine for a while before no data transfer again
i've even re-configured one of my access points with a different name and set the phone to auto-switch to strongest signal, but that don't work either

i'm still in discussion with HTC on this - i purchased my phone in May 2012 and it wasn't until late June that HTC acknowledged the problem

Some routers will give you a bit of **** when trying to connect to them, had a similar issue when trying to connect to my Belkin N at home and fixed by:
1.Open command prompt on your notebook that is connected to your wireless network and type "ipconfig/all"
2.Make a note of your Default Gateway ie 192.xxx,.x.x
3. On your HOX whilst connected to your wireless network go into settings press on wifi.
3.Long press on your wireless network name.
4.select modify network and select "show advanced options"
5.Make sure "none" is selected in proxy settings.
6.Make sure "static" is selected in ip settings.
7.The default gateway you noted should be entered into IP address on your phone however change the last number so if the last number is 2 change it to a 3 to keep in your routers address range.(Make sure it isnt the same as DNS 2 on your phone)
7.Enter the Default Gateway you noted in gateway on your phone as is.
8.Set network prefix length to 24.
9.In DNS 1 on your phone enter the Default Gateway address you noted as is.
10.In DNS 2 on your phone enter the Default gateway settings you noted however the last number should be changed to the following number so if the number is a 2 change to a 3.

I am having the exact same issue, was having it with ICS too! However i think its router dependant because here in my apartment in finland i get the issue, but back home on my router at home it doesn't happen at all! Its definately not a hardware problem it has something to do with software or configuration. Is there an official bug identified by HTC that we can track or something? Its so annoying having to disable wifi cause you know if you leave it enabled you won't get whatsapp notifications after a while
oh also for the record the same router that my OneX stops sending/receiving data from has no issues with my older desire HD, wifi works on it perfectly

@mathrania, Thank you for opening the thread. i have the same problem of yours and we live in the same city!
@all
I have the same exact problem of the OP's.
WiFi has perfect signal, Perfectly connected but data transfer just does not happen. I need to turn WiFi Off and then ON to get the connection working and then in a minute the problem comes back!
I am running stock JB 4.1.1 and my phone's mother board has been recently changed last week by HTC.
Adding to this JB 4.1.1 does not connect to Enterprise networks which is a well known issue in android 4.1.1 which makes me unable to connect my phone in office... so it's like completely un usable wifi.

I may not completely agree that it is a router issue because i have my nexus 7 which in-fact helped me to identify that my phone suffers a problem.

Yes it definitely is annoying, i too had the same issue with ICS ... but i took it so seriously, it was my nexus 7 which made me realize that i have a problem.. the notifications were there on the N7 and the HOX slept nicely without anything :-/
The service center before replacing my motherboard claimed that it works fine. i would not agree and sent it back, i had an unlocked bootloader and they took special approval to change the motherboard and still the same problem!

Thanks for the advise.. i would definitely love to have a solution for the issue. If i remember correctly i had the problem even on my office network.. in other words, was just wondering if you had the problem in all networks ?
Again to make the issue more clear, the WiFi gets connected, however the data transfer dies in sometime, at the same point of time the signals are clear and strong.
i can be 100% sure that this issue is not the same as the famous manufacturing issue with HTC one X as i got my motherboard replaced last week for the same problem and still face the issue.

i should say that this problem has become more evident after the Jelly bean update. I think back and recollect that this problem was there in ICS but in Jelly bean it is noticeable very easily.

I believe your right that you have a different issue to the infamous grip of life wifi issue.
If you did suffer the grip of life problem you would struggle getting a connection with your/any router, (unless you squeezed your phone) you don't struggle connecting to the router so don't do the "squeeze test" or it could damage the phone further.
I'm no expert with your issue, but if it happens on stock rom then it could be hardware related, but you already know this.
Best of luck and sorry I can't help further.

pretty sure its not hardware related because it doesn't happen on all routers/networks. If you've only tested it on one or two then try on a couple others and see. for me it only occurs on one or two out of about a dozen wifi networks

[Q] Prevent WIFI to connect to unsecured networks

My HTC One M8 phone keeps disconnecting from my secure Wi-Fi network at home and connects to an unsecure Wi-Fi network from one of my neighbors, even when my secure network signal shows as stronger than the unsecure one.

I just can not find a way to stop it.
Could you please help me

Go into your list of Wi-Fi connections and press and hold the unsecured connection and an option to forget it should appear. Once you've forgotten it it shouldn't reconnect to it without you specifically telling to. I don't believe android ever connects to any network you haven't previously selected but I may be wrong.

Found the option to "FOGET NETWORK"
I just find out you need to actually be connected to that network for "FORGET NETWORK" option to be displayed.
I remember done that in the past, anyway I did it again, but the unsecure network is still displaying as available.
I will keep monitoring the behavior and let you know,
