hi
Does anyone know what i can do to connect to a hidden network at work?
it is secured by wep and hidden. My iphone sees it and connect no probs. it seem to be affecting htc phones onyl, no matter what the rom is.
i cannot access the access point at all to check anything
It is some HTC foul up. Neither my wife's Desire or my DHD will see my Netgear WLAN when SSID is hidden. All other devices are fine.
Uhh did you try to just add the network (manually enter SSID, encryption, password)? This should work with hidden WiFi networks too.
Oh and on a side note. Hiding WiFi networks is completely useless in terms of security. Every moron who can use Google & download the right tool will be able to find it.
Try changing security on your router from WPA2-PSK to WPA-PSK. With my TP Link TL-WR1043ND router that worked.
Had the same problem connecting to my University's Wi-Fi, thankfully they made a guide how to do it on androids. Try following the steps here but editing for your network.
When Wifi is hidden it's hidden so it wouldn't be picked up by a average person thus you need to enter information manually, same as on PC. Though hidden networks are really not that hidden lol they just don't broadcast the SSID.

thank for you helpful input, i know hiding ssid is pointless. i do not manage the network.
and yes i did try to add manuall, else why would i know it does not connect?
my phone can see any wireless network just fine and even can see any network encryption changes but for unkown reason the connect button feels like the cancel button
when i try to connect to any encrypted network it ask me for the password then nothing happens
i tried installing different firmwares and they all do the same thing
now what?!
oh...i tried wifi fix.zip and it missed up the network enable/disable key so i restored my phone back to my 2 days old backup which also suffer from the same problem
i am on CM9 BETA4
when this problem happend i was using the internet on my phone and all the sudden the net access was down so i checked the router log very fast and the last thing i seen on the mikrotik wifi server log was my phone connecting with too many diff mac address (6 of them) with the same ip
i checked the wifi server if my phone's ip or mac was banned and the answer was no
i have one place left and it is the phone itself can a virus unbind the wifi connect key?
turned out that the phone for some unknow reasons doesn't connect to any wifi network with space in ssid name
changed the ssid from space to under score and everything is working again on CM9 B4
How do I Fix this? I Can`t name it or secure it. If I do it shows up to all the computers as "Other Network" Which means its being set as an Hidden SSID and they have to type the Network name and the password. The only time it shows up as a wireless network is if I name it LG. I can still connect to it fine and okay but I`d prefer it to be a normal network not a hidden one
Yes I know there is an option for it to be hidden and in which its not set to hide
Hi!
I need your help. I can not access any wifi network. I can view all the WiFi networks that are around me, but when I am trying to connect to them, it gives me an authentication error. The WiFi symbol in the upper right corner of the Tablet never pops up. I've forgotten all the networks and there is no way to connect to any wireless network. I even cleaned it in factory mode.
Thanks
My phone works fine on my home network, but it will not connect to any unsecured wifi network. Trying to get on boingo, it will say connecting, then saved, then disabled. I enabled wifi debugging and it shows a bunch of what look like are MAC addresses and then states NETWORK_SELECTION_TEMPORARY_DISABLED 20 m 16s, NETWORK_SELECTION_DISABLE.
I have tried booting in to safe mode and cleared the cache partition. I am never able to get to the boingo login screen since the network never connects. I have tried to manually enter the ip in chrome, and firefox. Have tried on boingo and cox wifi hotspots. I'm wondering if there is a setting somewhere that turns off access to unsecured wifi networks?
