Phone doesn't remember my WIFI account settings

The phone doesn't remember my networkkey so I have to write it in all the time. Isn't there a way to save the settings? Maybe an program witch stores and handles the settings?
Many thanks for any help!

Try to disable the Firewall, specially the one comes with Anti-Virus software

Dont get me wrong. I can connect to the Wifirouter just fine if I type in the networkkey manually every time. Thats what Im trying to avoid. There must be a program that can store and manage all connection data?

mock locations to the Hero

Hi all.
I am developing using Eclipse, using a Hero for actual device testing - but am having trouble with sending mock locations to it. I have enabled it on the device, but cannot send locations to it via DDMS. Can send fine to the emulator, and can deploy apps to the Hero - just not mock locations.
Any trick to it?

Disable Wifi Access! Any suggestions please?

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum, and was wondering if anyone can help me out. I have an Acer S200, and due to restrictions at work, we need to disable internet access from our mobile devices.
I have read various posts that state that this can be achieved by disabling wifi access by altering the registry keys, however none of the methods that i have come accross seem to apply to my Acer S200 mobile 6.5.
Sorry to be a pain, but does anyone know how i can do this?
Thanks in advance everyone.

What are you talking about? Disable wifi? Why do you start it at the first place?
Internet access on mobiles can be done by active synch, data connection, wifi. It 's up to you to disable them by comm manager and active synch.
Maybe I get you wrong. What exactly do you need to stop?

Hi fresco,
thanks for the reply. Well, the organisation wants to prevent the devices from having the ability to connect to the internet.
I understand that there may not be a complete solution, but at the very least I would definitely like to disable wifi completely, since this is what I've read others have done. The devices do not have data connection plans, hence this option isn't a problem.
Apparently I can disable the wifi by altering the registry keys? Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.

hiya...
any ideas guys?
can anyone direct me to anything that could be remotely useful to the above?
Thanks

Hi alan,
let me get this straight.You work at an organization that has unencrypted wifi access
but doesn`t want it`s employees using it?
If your company`s wi-fi network gives access to the internet to anyone that connects to it why doesn`t the IT manager set a password to the network or enable mac filtering (prevents unauthorized devices-mac addresses from connecting to the network)?
I don`t know how you would disable the wifi chip from the registry
but if i were you i would buy a second phone for work use only.

SKTools
Try SKTools maybe there is a solution in the app.

You can disable the WiFi in registry:
Go to "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Hardware]" and change the WiFi string to 0.
In the Comm. Manager the WiFI is disappeared and you are not able to connect.

thanks brainmaster.
the method that you suggested only removes the wifi display from comm manager, however that can easily be bypassed using the windows menu, to open wifi.
thanks...

then delete that one from the windows menu from Device > Windows > Start Menu

[Q] Which file/property tells apps phone HAS internet access?

Hi,
I'm working to get reverse tethering (internet passthrough) working through a Linux pc. The app that comes with the phone is for Windows only. I have got to the stage where I can bridge the interfaces on the pc, get a dhcp address on the phone's usb interface, set the route and access the internet (from some apps). However, other apps don't even bother to try to connect if the phone tells them it has no access. This must be set in a property somewhere, but I don't know where? Can anybody help find it and tell me how to set it?
Cheers!

They probably only ask this class, directly or automatically when creating a connection :
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/ConnectivityManager.html
You will probably need to browse the Android SDK sources, but looking at this class, this will not help you much as the connectivity itself is hidden behind a IDL interface :
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pl...ore/java/android/net/ConnectivityManager.java

Thanks for the reply faugusztin.
Sounds too complex for me to set, unless there are ways to do this indirectly.

[Q] File sharing outside network

OK, so right now I've got a folder on a windows xp machine shared across my home network via smb. I want to take this to the next level and be able to access it everywhere. I need to be able to get to it on Android and write access would be nice but not necessary. I've been googling around and all I've been able to gather is that smb is a bad idea. What would be the best way to go about making this happen?

Use the filezilla ftp server, setup the port you want to use and the password and configure everything accordingly. (I can help)
And then setup port forwarding on your router.
Then install "Turbo Ftp Client" from the google play store.
Set it up with the external ip address of your network and the port that you forwarded on your router.
And bam, you could access anywhere.
Google is your friend, but if you've searched and read about the stuff listed above, I will be glad to help guide you.
