At university, the wifi connects but keeps asking me for a username, password and domain every few minutes.
Its really annoying, and even when I tell the phone to remember all of my details, the screen still comes up asking me to log in again.
Is there a way to stop that from happening?
Please can anyone offer some help?
You should check with the IT service, it's possible they did it like where I was, it was a real pain, had to do all of a complex manipulation to install certificates etc...in order to be able to connect to wifi and authenticate successfully...
i see, thanks for the reply.
The wifi works, but it just asks me to reauthenticate every few mins or else it logs me off. Is there any way to make my phone automatically reauthenticate like my laptop does?

Have you spoken to the IT dept like the last comment?

No, but will they really be able to help?
The authentication process is just fine, the problem is that the phone doesn't save the settings. (the dramatic thread title is just to get attention, as almost all my posts get ignored)

You won't know if they can help unless you talk to them.
It may be that the settings are only allowed by the wifi service until a service refreshes and disconnects uncertified devices.
But, without having a clue how the network is set up, its just stabbing in the dark.
Hi there,
I'm having issues w/ juice defender. It installs fine, and runs ok, but it doesn't seem to do anything. It says the apn was switched on in the log, but I never get mail updates or anything..
Also I thought it was supposed to the activate the apn when I unlock the phone, this isn't happening.
Do I need to set anything on the phone wifi/3g settings?
Would love it to sort out mail syncing like it says it will..
any ideas?
Thanks,
niklz
have figured this out, thought it would turn on mobile networks, but you need to leave it on, awesome app!
sry for the idiocity

all a learning experience
Out of curiosity,
With the way JuiceDefender works, what's the optimum setting for updates and sync e.t.c.?
Is the app smart enough to invoke its own sync, or do the timings on the phone and the app have to coincide?
cheers,

Hi. I bought my phone through best buy and noticed I don't any of the sprint apps. Ive been trying to get the native hotspot to work but the option to turn it on isnt in the menu.
I'm rooted and tried the iceroom and stock versions of native hotspot. Also I've contacted another user who had the same issue, no hotspot option, also purchased via best buy.. Which is kinda odd. Does anyone else have this issue or know of a way of fixing it?
ya know, the same thing happened w/ me.......bought the phone from best buy and was looking for a hotspot feature and lo-and-behold, theres none to be found, even enabled dev settings and didn't pop up. I'm kinda dumbfounded and i really like the stock OS coming from the galaxy s4 and was hoping there was a hidden setting for it or if theres a rom that enables it because i'd be all over that lol

Extremely odd that it hasn't been mentioned by anyone else either. I cant even use any of the other tethering apps (wifi tether, barnacle, etc etc), I recieve ad-hoc errors, which I'm assuming is the issue with the native hotspot not appearing in the menu.
Still looking for a way to fix this if anyone knows how, would greatly appreciate it.

If you root and DL wireless tether you can't? Its a carrier option not an retailer option- makes no sense. Just trying to understand.. Contacting a friend now..

No. The phone is rooted and Ive tried the wireless tether app, pdanet, barnacle. Every wireless app shows an ad-hoc error in the log while pdanet gives me a htc sync error 2.
Thing is theres no hotspot option in the menu. Im sure its like that for everyone who bought the phone from best buy.

My question is: Why would a carrier do that? That is an upsell that they want to extend to every smartphone purchase, it's lost revenue. That is why I'm perplexed and have placed a call to my friend (MGR for VZW).
anyone figure this out yet? i have the same problem. bought my phone from best buy as well.
The one I had came from BB and had hot spot #debunked

Apparently this issue is caused by not fully finishing the activation process for Sprint. Sprint base apps install after activation... my sneaking suspicion is they are installed via the "Sprint ID" app but Im not sure. Either try doing the activation again, or more likely to work is to do a full factory reset and make sure you do not interrupt the process all the way thru activation.
You will then have your tethering options back. Its likely the reps at bestbuy are bypassing that part of the activation process by interrupting it so they can finish your sale and get you outta there faster. Might also be unintentional on their part but who knows.
Do a factory reset.
noob question... will factory reset remove root and twrp? i have both, stock rom. i already backed up via twrp. however, will i need to install everything again afterwards?
You need to do a factory reset, no It will not loose root or twrp. As soon as you the phone boots back up, update prl and profile. Make sure you are in a good data location or are hooked up on WiFi. After updating both of these your phone should install all the Sprint apps and you will have tether option in settings

By the way, I bought from BB as well and I have USB and Wifi Hotspot options, in case you wanted to know.

As bigpappa pointed out... it's not necessarily a best buy thing. It's the fact the rep probably didn't finish the activation process when setting your phone up in store. It could have been any store... it's just coincidence that the people with the problem happen to have bought from best buy.
lol i don't doubt that but i just had to give him hell because he was essentially trying to call us out who didn't have the tethering option and "debunk" it when it was just a simple statement that it wasn't there and was curious as to why, ive never really seen that happen before w/ an incomplete activation but its not like it really matters because theres tethering mods n **** out there that enable it anyway so just had to give him a little bit of hell haha
so... i factory reset my phone and it never went thru the activation process again. when i tried to activate device in settings, it said it was already activated. i quit and just installed the cm nightlies and now have wifi tether but im curious as what the fix could be.
After activation the Sprint Zone app runs and installs all the sprint bloatware and base apps. If you didnt have sprint zone load and start installing those apps, or quit that process manually then you didnt finish full activation. If Sprint Zone failed to load after the factory reset I dont know what to tell you other than to do it again.

i think that's part of the problem... there was so Sprint Zone app at all. i looked into downloading it but couldnt find anything.

Sorry, I muffed on the app name.... I meant "Sprint ID" app, not Sprint Zone.
Edit: check /system/app/ folder for sprintzone.apk, sprintid.apk, and sprintinstaller.apk. They may be there.

Neither were there when I went through my apps before... However, I already installed CM or I'd look. maybe someone else with the problem can take a look and test it out? Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with CM for the time being and takes me forever to switch as I'm still learning.
Hi there,
Recently I discovered this issue: the “Smart Network Switch" is not working anymore.
For me this is very important, as here wifi connection is not that great like the Mobile Data network here. Wifi internet sometime downs without any notification but Mobile data network is 100% uptime 24x7. But so far the " Smart Network Switch" helps me great as I’ve to stay online over skype always, if the wifi lost internet then it automatically switch to HSPDA which helps me to stay online always even if I’m unaware the wifi internet is down.
Earlier even if the wifi internet link is ok still sometime it was switching to HSPDA by saying internet is slow, I don’t mind that but recently I was noticing even if the wifi was down for long time it wasn’t switching to HSPDA.
In short the "Smart Network Switch" isn’t working at all at any condition. I doubt it could be due to any recent installed app. But I’m not sure which one could. I checked the all recent installed apps accessibility list and removed Airdriod and CM Security which had full network access. But still that didn’t help.
I’m sure this is due to a software bug not a hardware issue. For more input and clues:
# Since over last six month my phone lost the vibration, the vibration motor is not working, I tested with hardware test. I’m really not happy with this phone. Its not yet completed 1year and couldn’t find any nearest service center. So its still working without the vib feature.
# Recently I’ve upgraded the local WIFI setup with a primary dual band TP-Link router and another wifi router as bridge with same SSID and password, this is to get better wifi coverage. Due to this dual router the wifi coverage is at full bar everywhere and the phone has the same. But I think this is nothing to do with this.
Please advice. Thanks in advance.
Have you tried a factory reset?
Have you removed the certificates from those apps?
Have you removed them as device administrators?

Thanks for your reply. No I don’t want to factory reset for now, this would be my last option as I have to a lots of work to get everything back, apps and data, setup etc.
No I did not removed the certificates from those apps. Never did this before. When I uninstall I always clear all data of those apps and then uninstall. How do I find certificates of those apps? I know the certificate location but don’t know how to find those specifically.
I removed them as device administrators if its require, if a app in dev admin, it cannot be uninstall.
Please advice. Thanks
Sorry, credentials, not certificates. Bloody autocorrect....
Settings > security. Scroll all the way down. You can either clear all user-added credentials all at once by hitting clear credentials, or look it up and deselect it manually under trusted credentials.

Yes here credentials are CA certificates, after reading your 1st post I checked that but there was none user added, all are system and its a huge list. Also the clear option grayed out as nothing there to delete.
I wiped system cache partition from recovery, ran it under safe mode but nothing helps. So I doubt this will fix even after formatting to factory setting. It could be a hardware issue.
The issue has been fixed after formatting and factory resetting the phone.

Yes but this made my work increase a lot to get back all previous apps and their data. Kies app backup didnt backup app data, only the apps itself. I didnt know that. It took me a a day to get every setting back. Their could be another way to clear data somewhere which I couldnt find.

Any way it was very important for me, so that had to go for this. Thanks for the advice BTW.
I've been digging into this for a while and wanted to make sure I get this correct. Do I have to be rooted for me to use Tasker (or any other third party app) to auto unlock my phone when my phone connects to bluetooth (or whatever)?
I don't want to root my phone because of the issues I've seen people having but I would really like to find a way to auto unlock my phone.

Thanks but my issue is having the phone unlock (swipe) and get to the main screen when connected via bluetooth to my car. This will allow me to unlock my phone without having to enter a pin but it still doesn't actually unlock it.

So your expectation is that as soon your phone connects to your car (thru bluetooth), you screen wakes and shows you the home screen of your launcher? Rather bizarre...
Yes. Not really bizarre. It doesn't necessarily need to show me the home screen of my launcher. I really just need it to unlock my phone. I know many people use this because I've seen ways in Tasker and other 3rd party apps to do it, but you need to be rooted. So I was wondering if someone had a way to do this without being rooted.
What are you wanting to do once it is unlocked? That may be another way for us to look at the issue.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that in my first post. I want my HotSpot to turn on when my phone connects to Bluetooth in my car. I also want the HotSpot to turn off when my phone disconnects from bluetooth in my car.
Hmm...Try AutoInput. It's a 3rd-party plugin. It has an unlock function. Haven't tried it myself, but I think I will now that I've looked into this.

Yeah, I tried it but couldn't get it to work. I think I needed to be rooted for it to do what I wanted but I'll check again. Thanks for the suggestion.
