Nexus one internet

hey guys quick question about the internet connection, ive never used android before, can you manually disconnect and connect the connection or does it work like the iphone where you have no control? also if it does work manually does it auto disconnect after closing apps?

On my phone, it prompts you to use wifi in the initial set up at which point it takes you to a menu screen. In this screen you enable wifi as well as connect to your network of choice. Now, Like the iPhone, when you leave the area your on, and come back, it automatically reconnects for you without any prompts.
Unlike the iPhone, it does not notify you (as of my experience thus far) of any available connects in your proximity.
Hope this helps you some. =)
Cheers,
Bryan

thanks mate, how are you finding the phone so far?

iOS 6/7/8 Notifications on any GSM Watch (Truesmart, Inwatch, Gear S, etc.)

First Draft Here, will probably come back to edit this as I get the time. But I want to acknowledge the maker of Cloudnotify and the effort to get the old school Android-based Gear connected to the iPhone. I was able to use those tools to make this happen.
This is one way I used to get my iPhone 6 Plus Notifications on my Omate Truesmart and InWatch Z. It’s not the only method, and certainly not the easiest, but it doesn’t require a third device or changing your number. It also lets you get those notifications basically anywhere.
Basically, the biggest obstacle is (apart from the jailbreak) iOS’s block on SMS messages from any outside app. You could use your carrier’s tablet SMS app (ATT/Verizon messages, etc) on your watch, but scaling is terrible and it breaks easily with updates. You could port your number to Google Voice, but even if it doesn’t cost you an ETF, you still compromise group MMS ability. The final workaround, and easiest, is to use the ever-awesome Swapplink on an Android tablet using one of the aforementioned carrier SMS apps to get your SMS notifications. Personally, I love my Surface Pro 3 too much to get an Android tablet, and would rather keep the number of devices involved to a minimum. So, we have to break into the iPhone’s SMS notifications with the jailbreak app CloudNotifier.
What you’ll absolutely need
Any jailbroken iOS Device with Cydia.
-I set this up on my iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8, but you just need CloudNotifier ability
Receiving device (Omate Truesmart, Inwatch Z, Gear S, Neptune Pine, etc.)
CloudNotifier (costs $3.99 in Cydia)
A Pushingbox.com Account
Notification method that suits your watch
-I use pushbullet on pushingbox, but you could use Newtrify, or anything really with IFTTT. This is why you could use a Gear S, as you could IFTTT them to any phone number.
Extras
Tasker
-This is how I set up tethering on my watch. There are several profiles, but you can do your own. I’ll get into more detail later, but basically, if I’m not connected to my home Wifi on my Omate, I tether to my iPhone. If the iPhone isn’t in range, it turns on mobile data.
Wifi Better Battery
-To better manage your watch's Wifi State
iPhone with Tethering ability
-If your iPhone permits (or has been jailbroken to permit) tethering, you can use Bluetooth to tether your watch. Works well, but is less stable than Wifi (and doesn’t let your Phone use Wifi) thus Tasker.
STEP ONE- iPhone Prep
First, let’s set up Pushingbox and your iPhone. We’re going to go ahead and do this now as it will take some time for your API keys to register. In my case, I had to wait overnight, but a little googling suggests it takes 3 hours. The sooner you do this, the better.
1. Go to Pushingbox.com and create an account.
2. Add a Service that works for you. In my case, it was Pushbullet. There are instructions within the service you choose to configure your API, etc.
3. Once you have a Service ready, create a Scenario on Pushingbox. Call it whatever you want. We’re going to use this new Device ID in your iPhone.
4. For the Title put $application$
5. For the Message put $texte$
6. Note the Device ID for the Scenario, add your previously configured service, and save.
7. Go to Cydia and install Cloudnotifier. It will say iOS 6/7 only, but 8 works too.
8. Once installed, go to settings on your iPhone and find Cloudnotifier.
9. In “Account” put the following- http://api.pushingbox.com/pushingbox?dev=xxxxxxxxxxxx for the xxxxxxxxxx put your Scenario’s Device ID.
10. Now your notifications are freed! Every notification with a Banner will now be sent to the service you configured. This will likely take a few hours, but if you put the ID in properly, it will work.
STEP TWO- Watch Prep
Now we need to receive ALL notifications on your device. If you used Pushbullet, simply grab the APK from evozi (it probably won’t let you download from the store but it works fine). I recommend Pushbullet but any other client is fine to for your platform. If you have a Gear S or any GSM device that isn’t Android, you can configure an IFTTT channel to push them to SMS (Beware your carrier’s SMS rates!) or Email.
Since this is basically every notification from your phone unless you remove the banner on the phone, I suggest disabling notifications for apps on your client device, as the duplicates will get old fast. As long as your Phone is on you’ll get these notifications via your preffered push.

EXTRAS
Now you’ve got the functionality! From here, you’ll start getting the notifications soon. Here are some final recommended steps if you have an Android 4.4 watch. Jellybean seems to be a Bluetooth tethering disaster, but it may work on your hardware.
You can tether to your iPhone via Bluetooth, but use Wifi as often as possible if you want to use Wifi on your phone too. Leave your portable hotspot on in your iPhone for Bluetooth access automatically. Use Wifi Better Battery and Tasker to set up your connection to the phone. Wifi Better Battery will do all the Wifi connecting for you. My Tasker Profiles are configured like this-
Wifi on? (Wifi connected)
-Disable Bluetooth
-Disable Mobile Data (use the secure settings tasker plugin)
-Turn off “Phone Not Near?” Profile
-Turn on “Wifi Off?” Profile
-Turn off “Phone Near” Profile
Wifi off? (Wifi Not connected)
-Turn Bluetooth ON
-Turn Mobile Data On
-Bluetooth Connect to iPhone
-Turn off “Wifi off?” Profile
BT Status (Is Bluetooth on)
-Wait 30 seconds (to let tether operation finish)
-Turn on “Phone Near?” Profile
-Wait 30 seconds (To let the Phone near check finish before the Phone Not Near)
-Turn on “Phone Not Near?” Profile
Phone Not Near? (Is the watch NOT connected to the iPhone via Bluetooth PAN?)
-Turn Mobile Data On
-Turn off “Phone Near?” Profile
-Set Bluetooth Off
Phone Near? (Is the watch connected to the iPhone via Bluetooth PAN?)
-Disable Mobile Data
-Turn off “Phone Not Near” Profile
-Wait 15 seconds
-Turn on “Bluetooth Disconnect” Profile
BT Disconnect (Has Bluetooth disconnected from the iPhone?)
-Turn “Wifi off?” Profile on
-Turn “BT Disconnect” off

[Q] Notification security prompt every time smartwatch reconnects to phone

I have a European Snapdragon Note 4 on the current official 5.1 update which is paired to a Garmin Vivoactive smartwatch, the smartwatch uses an app called Garmin Connect which runs on the phone and pushes anything in the notification bar to the watch. It's all worked flawlessly until the Android 5.1 update after which the phone and watch regularly lose connection and will not automatically reconnect (works fine if the watch goes out of range and comes back into range), I have to manually connect the two by opening the app, waiting for the two to connect at which point the phone pops up a warning that Garmin Connect needs access to my notifications even though it shows as having access already. Unticking, reticking then accepting the warning works but is obviously irritating when this is happening several times a day. There was an update for the Connect app today which I've applied but it's made it worse as the phone no longer prompts for the notification access, instead I have to go into settings and untick/retick again.
I've asked on the Garmin forums as well although since this only happened on the Android 5.1 update it suggests the fault is with the phone, any suggestions to get around this problem and stop having to keep resetting the notification security? I use Nova launcher which also has access to the notification panel although it's not reporting any problems.
Thanks,
John

Captive Portal issue with Pixel 6P

I haven't been able to get anywhere with this issue I've been having for a few weeks, so I figured I'd fire up my old xda account and see if anyone on here can help since this is a more techy crowd. I've searched and searched but I haven't found anything similar unfortunately.
Tl;dr I have to log in to my work's guest wifi every day, but I didn't before. Nobody else does. Auto connect is set to on, but it doesn't work like it used to/is supposed to.
Longer: I connect to a guest network at work every day that's meant for employee personal devices. (I use a homebrew VPN for this.) Before the issue started, I'd periodically (maybe once/month if that) have a notification when I arrived to sign in, and you click agree in a captive portal and you're on your way. Other than that it auto connects just like at home. A few weeks (?) ago however, I've started having to do this every day. If I'm disconnected for over roughly an hour (say if I leave and come back during the day) I have to do it again, and if I reboot my device I also have to sign in again. If I just toggle wifi on and off quickly then it automatically connects just fine.
Ordinarily this wouldn't be a huge deal, but where I work I basically get no cell coverage. I also have a couple tasker profiles that I've been using for years to do stuff (vibrate mode, silence media, etc) when I arrive to work, and these don't/won't trigger until I have a minute to log in. Ideally these would trigger as soon as I'm within range of the building, as I've been doing for years now.
None of my coworkers have this issue, everyone that I've asked all say their devices automatically connect just fine, as mine used to.
I'm assuming this is something related to my device. Because it happens if I reboot, but not if I quickly disconnect and reconnect, I'm imagining maybe something isn't being cached correctly?
If anyone can help me fix this I'd be very grateful!

Solved: dev setting for non-persistent Mac address randomization was on.

WearOS Galaxy Watch 4 or similar device FCM notification over wifi all time

Hello.
I have developed an application for Wear OS using Kotlin in Android Studio. I am sending notifications using Firebase Cloud Messaging. However, I am experiencing issues related to Wi-Fi. The watch should work independently of the phone and stay connected to Wi-Fi constantly. It should display the notifications sent through Firebase on the screen. So far, there haven't been any problems, but when the screen is turned off, the Wi-Fi connection is also lost. The notifications I send don't reach the device.
How can I solve this issue? Or can I use a different method?
The goal is simple: to send notifications to the watch anytime via Wi-Fi, and have them displayed on the screen with vibration and sound, whether the screen is on or off.
Thanks.
