Weird IP address after updating. - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After update g2 to kit Kat, I noticed that something was added to my IP address under network. And it remains whether phone is in airplane mode or with the wifi on. Any thoughts on what it could be?

Wow that is very interesting and scary, I had no idea. So that number just became like my social security number of the internet by which I can be tracked.

I am not sure. It kinda sucks. even if you have nothing to hide
wonder if it can be spoofed.
I know ipv6 can be turned off. And a lot of security agencies do tend to advice switching it off.

Guys, that is just an IPv6 address vs the normal IPv4 address. Apparently they are connecting you to both now.
192.0.0.4 being the IPv4 address you are familiar with.
Edit: oops. missed that someone already said it was IPv6. Sorry

New ATT trend?

Hi, is it possible to remove the annoying "wifi connected" from the notification shade? it was on the htc one aswell. it seems that att keeps copying verizon, and their stupid additions to the software of a phone.
I know it goes away when you turn the wifi off, but i want to use wifi without having to see "wifi connected">
thanks
Not possible until someone develops a rom without it. Every company adds stuff to the software though, not just those two. At least there isn't a globe on the Note 2's home button like VZW lol
Go to applications manager and disable the stupid at&t WiFi app. That should fix it

It doesn't.

All of these software additions seem stupid to us here at xda because they are put there with us powerusers in mind. They are simply trying to help those who are as tech savvy have an enjoyable experience with their hand held computers that happen to be able to call people.

If you are rooted you should check the dev section. I think someone posted a mod with it removed

Wifi safe zone

Is my mind paying tricks on me or did Samsung say something about wifi safe zone where phone is unlocked automatically when connected to certain networks

I thought this too, you can add your wifi network to a home zone but I can't find any setting to disable my screen lock when attached to that network?

Did you simply enter your email address and password or you did manual setup?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
University of Phoenix uses Google servers so you add it like a Gmail account just change the at Gmail to at phoenix. Edu
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
For my university I did manual set up because you have to put the custom incoming and outgoing servers. If you don't know these you can find out from your universities IT department
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I'm from Temple and they use a form of Gmail so it works fine.
If you want help. I can help you say it up. Just post what school you go to and I'll look on their site for the appropriate server instructions.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Pm me and I'll help get the setting for you
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Like Warbuff said you usually need all that info from your IT department and then maybe your device isnt even allowed to access their server.
For me the other alternative I use, because I definitely dont want IT touching my device, is I use the web browser email version. Your school may have that, IT would know that address as well. Ex: exchange.<school name>.edu

You have to search from the non-connected devices, not the S4
How do I do that?

Pull up WiFI on the device you want connect, and have the list of available networks displayed, your hotspot will be one of them.
Yeah then you click on it I did that and it kept telling me my password was wrong.

Verify your password on your S4 in the Hotspot options by checking the box for "Show Password"
Use WPA2 Security
Try again
If you're positive it's right, try it as an open network.
O.k. thanks!!!

Wifi hotspot

Hi guys,
I have turned on wifi hotspot on my phone without any security.
If someone connects to my hotspot, I can see an ip address and Mac number.
Now what I want to know is that, can I hack into phones or computers that are connected to my hotspot. If yes, how? If not, why not?
And also, can they hack into my phone? If yes, what should I do to protect myself? If not, thank god
