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 already flag my phone to block the unsecure Wi-Fi network notification, but my phone is still connecting to it.
I just can not find a way to stop it.
Could you please help me
Thanks

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.

no such an option

Thank you vey much for your help
Unfortunately the option to forget the unsecure WiFi is not there
The only options shown are
CONNECT TO NETWORK
OR
UNBLOCK NETWORK NOTIFICATION
Thanks again for your willing to help

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,
Thanks again for all your help

Hey guys, so im running the energy ROM on my tp2 and it works great, however I have problems connecting to secure wifi sometimes. WIFI Monster says I am connected, but Im really not. When i try to go to my comm manager and connect I get this message "Pocket PC Networking: Cannot obtain a server-assigned IP Addres. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network Settings."
Any advice? How do I go about finding a suitable IP address? I tried to renew it in the Advanced options from the Comm Manager, but it didn't work.
Noob in need of some help please thanks!
is there anyway I can connect my phone the internet through my computer? that could partially solve my problem. I tried using internet sharing but it says you need to tmobile data or tmobile internet as the Connection source (ie not the computer)

Yeah...when you're connected via USB/Activesync you can use the PC's data connection on your phone, you just have to enable that option in activesync or WMDC, whichever you use. The option is just labeled "allow data connections when connected via USB"
Much thanks Sir Phunkee haha

No prob...it's something commonly not known with new users
On your original problem connecting to a secure wifi network...did it give you the screen where you enter your network password? And is this a network at your home, or..?
Gee, thanks! But the first time it did (its my home network). I set it up to automatically put the WEP Key in and it rarely pops up anymore. When I try to connect at my school it never drops, if it does, I went out of the range of the wifi.
Also, I just enabled the data connection and it worked. Sweetness!
I just reflashed my phone to the New Energy ROM and it connected to the internet first try. Hopefully this is a pattern
EDIT: Im not sure if I would liek to keep it this way because it was really glitchy :\ ugh

Well at least you've proven that it's not a harware issue, and it's possible to get it to work. Before you think about flashing back to stock or another ROM, first go through all related settings and take note of what the NRG ROM set them to, it may just be matter of duplicating them all again when you get a ROM on there you're happy with
thanks for everything! its much appreciated.
Tried this with my home network. I've enabled data connection and used the HEX key to enter code successfully, but I always get error, "Could not locate remote server" when trying to connect to any website. Can someone please help me with this issue? Thanks.
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?
Hi all,
I have try searching the massive Q&A, but can't find the answer.
Can anyone tell me how to connect to a wifi network with its SSID is hidden (not broadcasted)..?
FYI,
I'm using ROM Oxygen 2.0.1
-----------------
Solution:
1. delete the "remembered" network on device
2. set the router to broadcast the SSID
3. let device acknowledge the network
4. connect to network, and save
5. disable/hidden the SSID broadcast
Reference
hxxp://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1041
(change "x" with "t")
NOTE:
each network may need different steps, depends on the security and broadcast setting

Go into Wireless and Network settings then press Wi-fi Settings, click on Add WiFi network. You just put the details in a voila.
I've tried it, but it won't connect even if I stand directly in front of the router.
Not sure if it's cause by the Oxygen ROM (AOSP)..
But I cannot find the option such as "connect even if SSID is not broadcasted"..
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I saw a .apk program that was supposed to do it. Not sure how to upload files from Tapa talk.......but it was called "hidden.ssid.enabler.apk" and I got it from the leedroid thread I think about 6 weeks ago.
Sent with Desire.
I have tried the hiddenssid enabler, and wifi connector, but both didn't worked..
Perhaps they don't compatible with GRI40 rom..
But thanks for the suggestions..

Then I think you're screwed :what:
My phone is always connecting to WiFi connections automatically (as they come in range).
I don't want it to. I only want it to automatically connect to the ones which I specify (my home, my office...).
How can I configure to only connect to the networks which I specify?

you know, i don't have that behavior, my phone only connects to networks it remembered.
In the list of available wifi networks the remembered ones are at the bottom. If I hold down and select 'forget network' then they go away.

My list of available wifi shows maybe about 100 or more entries. How can I delete them all?
I have Cricket wireless service. I had initially installed a cricket app for managing wifi and I believe it may have added all of those wifi connections. I wonder if this has somehow messed up my phone. I have since deleted the app, but the problem still persists. :crying:
Well I guess deleting one at a time would work eventually

That clearly is not a realistic option as it would take me a very long time to delete that list. I also don't believe that it will fix the problem. Every time I pass a WiFi network it will just get added to the list again.
Just the other day, I was sitting on a bus and we were driving alongside another bus which offered WiFi to its passengers. My phone automatically tried connecting to the other bus's WiFi.
Does anyone know how to configure this, so that I only automatically connect to the WiFi networks that I specify? This is making using my phone with this version of Cyanogenmod very frustrating.
Plz help; only able to access the internet via Wi-Fi, can't access using at&t network
Has anyone else had this problem? I can only access the internet using Wi-Fi on my N7A. I can't access the internet using at&t's network even
when the signal strength is showing 5 bars. I've tried accessing the internet using Chrome, FoxFire, etc, I get the following error message:
"You are offline.
try:
- Turning off airplane mode (if it was on I wouldn't be getting Wi-Fi)
- Turning on mobile data or Wi-Fi
- Checking the signal in your area"
My phone is a "new" gen unlocked N730A bought from Best Buy, I had this problem with APH1 and now with the update 2APHE.
I'm running the phone stock (no pseudo-root)
I've done a couple factory resets then tried to access the internet via at&t's network - no joy
I'm really digging my N7 (my second one, sent the first one back due to the recall), but it has limited usefulness if I can only access the
internet when I have a Wi-Fi signal. Thanks in advance.
Edit: Oddly enough I have no problem making or receiving phone calls and I can send and receive text messages over the at&t network.
However I have no internet capability over at&t's network.

check your APN settings. Google it.

You are correct, the problem was an incorrectly set APN. I took the phone to a local AT&T store and
they were able to set the proper APN, now I get great 4G service. Thanks.
