WiFi doesn't work properly!

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?

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.

Tethering built into 2.1 RUU for the Sprint Hero has

Hey guys I rarely, if ever, post anything, but I made a discovery yesterday that I just tested and wanted to let everyone in on it. I have the **Leaked** but now **Official** "RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.27.651.5_R_signed_release" installed on my phone. My phone had not been rooted and I decided to upgraded from 1.5 to 2.1 yesterday (just couldn't get myself to pull the trigger sooner). While I molesting the new features I went to mount the phone as a disk drive and noticed there were some additional options. Once you plug in the USB into the phone, access the pull-down menu from the status bar and press "Charge Only". You will be greeted with another menu that, among other things, has an option for "Internet Sharing" select this and the phone will install some software on your computer. After that your computer will be able to utilize your phone as a modem. Now I haven't tried this over just a 3G connection as I live out in the country and my service is terrrrrible out here, but what I was able to confirm is that this works over WiFi with no problems. I turned off the Wifi card on my laptop and enabled the Wifi on the phone. A few moments later I got the connection indicator on my laptop (Windows Vista) and away we go. I posted this using the connection. Can anyone confirm this works over 3G?
Screen shots posted below. (Sorry about the blurry pics, I don't have the steadiest hands)

did you update with the RUU?
FYI, this is not "wifi" tethering, it's "wired" tethering.
good to know internet sharing was in the final!

If I understand your question correctly, yeah I updated with the RUU but I wasn't really interested in rooting the phone.

Yes it works, but you need to change your PRI

In other words, no it does not work if you ran the RUU. You would have to be rooted, flash an Eris based ROM, and then update using the SprintUpdate2.zip Damageless posted.

Aside from "Flashing an Eris ROM breaks your PRI" he wouldn't find much. Sometimes you just gotta let it slide and lend a hand.

Are you guys talking about the same thing he is? He said he ran the RUU and is not rooted. He said he doesn't get good 3g where he lives but what he did was turn off wifi on his laptop and enable it on the phone. He enabled internet sharing and it shared his internet connection with the laptop.
This isn't wifi tethering like we usually describe it, but he is describing a different situation than the one you guys are talking about. Unless I missed something in the posts.

He was asking if it would work over 3G, as well as wifi.

You're both right and wrong.
I was assuming that he rooted his phone before updating to 2.1, thought he just made a mistake by adding the ruu part.
And he was asking about 3g tethering since he could do it over wifi.
To answer his question: You cannot tether that way if you ran the official RUU...that is until an exploit is found and you root your phone.
PDAnet will still work for you though

He probably has one of the few Sprint PRI's that allows MNS....bastage.....

Thanks guys, I'll take my laptop to work tomorrow and give it a try with and without PDANet. Thanks for all of the feedback.

What is you PRI number?

Pri version: 2.20_003

I have the same PRI number. How did you get the network sharing to work? Did you download any software?

yeah we need to find out if this new PRI will allow wired tethering, but I don't want to lose root
we need a few people (read: guinea pigs) to test it out

Ok, I got the network sharing via wired tether to work with WIFI. Now if I can get it to work on 3g.
Edit:
I tried to use the 3g network and it will not allow you to wire tether. It will keep popping up error 67 which "Data Call Failure". Boo.

I'm currently trying to figure out where exactly the PRI is stored in a ROM, so I can make update.zip's of different PRI's, to allow tethering.

I've been digging through for a while now, off and on, trying to find this myself. I PM'd flipz and asked, but haven't received a response, but i'm sure he knows how/if this could be done. I'm very interested if you do find something out, let me know!

The hero has always been able to share wifi using the usb tether. The 3G sharing will be disabled for you as always. Sorry to burst your bubble this is not something new. In fact, way back before we had root you could use a trick to tether the 3G over usb by turning off mobile network and then enabling the MNS while turning the mobile network back on. It was just a bug that someone found to bypass the 3G sharing lockout. After we got root no one really needed that trick anymore.

WiFi

Excuse me if this was covered elsewhere, but I am fairly new (at least not a regular) and this is my first time using WiFi with a cell
I have hooked up my router to my puter
Is it right that the main benefits u would get with your cell would be the minutes don't come from your bucket, if you don't have unlimited, and also you get near cable-like speed on the internet?
Well, the first does not apply, I have unlimited
The second does apply....sort of. When I turn on the wifi the speed of the net iis great. IF I come back to it a short bit later, it seems to freeze there. I can type, but it won't move, I dont that it moves if I switch off wifi, back to hspa+.
I have to turn it off then on. Can anyone please explain this?
Thanks a lot
eric

Please note that T-Mo Wifi Calling does use plan minutes. You should explain the second issue in more detail. Does the phone show the wifi icon in the notification bar when its frozen?

Thanks for the first part
I guess it is different than that calling from Wi-Fi called U? or H?
As for the second part yes no Wi-Fi symbol is still On up top . Everything up here is exactly as it was a few minutes prior when I was able to use the Wi-Fi on the web . Again I am not very good at this I will give you any information you need but please be patient and ask me for anything You need
Thank you

Your wifi app is for calling only. If you want to use the web you connect to any wifi in your wifi settings. With your wifi calling, it does not use the web for anything but calling. Your regular wifi (what we used before they put wifi calling on some phones) is the only thing that connects to the web. Hope I cleared that up for ya!

Please post questions in Q&A section

Thank you whosdaman, and thanks for moving it/them if it was you that did that
it is quite ambiguous as to the difference in the two, not helped when there are other questions in the mytouch general section. ...but thanks nonetheless
while you were moving the thread, did you take time to read it and see if you can help with the , what is a prolly very simple question to you
if you can help, great. If not , np
eric

You're welcome, and yes I did
And no I can't...I have no idea

Thank you
So, when you say you have no idea. It is not typical for it to lock up if you use wifi for internet or is it not common, as in you have not tried the wifi for internet.
Thanks if you have time to answer. I know ur busy moderating the forum

Wifi, time and root

Hi there,
I'm using CM 12.1, 20150817 version. It's working well, apart from one really annoying thing:
My wifi will not reconnect to networks. Or at least most of the time.
If I set up a new network, it all goes very well, but as soon as I'm out of reach and come back in reach, something goes wrong. My phone sees the wifi network, but doesn't connect. It's in the list of available networks, but just doesn't connect at all. If I manually tell it to connect, nothing happens. The only way to get wifi data again is to tell my phone to forget the network and hook up to it again.
It's not just my home network. It also happens with the work network.
I told it to not avoid bad connections, so that can't be it, besides, the connection is typically very good. Other devices hook up without problems.
Any clues as to what could be going wrong here and how to fix it? My mobile data is going through the roof because of this.
Another thing, less annoying, but probably quite important to the developers is this odd phenomenon:
I traveled to China recently (from Holland) and after I arrived, I set the timezone manually to Chinese time zone. After doing that, time is in sync with local time.
After I did a reset, the phone's clock had shifted on hour back. The local time was off by one hour, and so was the time my phone showed for my home timezone.
I had to manually set the time to the right time, for things to be normal again.
Same happened on the way back, but the other way around. After a reset, the phone's clock was suddenly an hour ahead.
One other thing; somewhere in the last update I managed to loose root privileges. How do I get it back? I would like to give some apps root access.
Cheers,
Menno

Hey, Im not too sure about the Time changing problem, but I've found on CM12 that Root Access is disabled by default.
You need to open Developer Settings, Root Access; then change the setting accordingly.
Hope that helps

Hi Lenny,
OK, thanks, but how do I find out if I'm running the right modem?
Or where does one find the right modem? I just flashed the files from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...lop/exclusive-antaresone-alucard24-s-t3066696 , using TWRP. I came from the previous version 12.0, but my OTA update had failed, so I did a clean install.
I'm assuming the correct modem would be in the zips?
If not, where can I find it?

Oh, go into About Phone, then find Build Number.
You have to tap at this button 7 times in quick succession and it should enable the Developer Settings back in the settings menu.
Be careful messing around in Developer Settings though, some options in here are harmless, but others can really screw with your Android

Cellular Data on 950xl not working since 10586.107, now on 14267.1002

Hi Folks,
Having this nagging problem on my 950xl, while i was on insider preview of 10586.107, i got a message while paying tubecast that my 3G data is not working, and that it was a known issue. as i was out of town i dint go much then, but once i was back home i tried all the below stuff.
1) Soft Reset
2) Hard reset to Factory
3) Hard reset to factory and upgrade to latest firmware, and build 14267.1002.
None of which have resolved my problem, my phone shows H+, H,E and 2G symbols but when i put a url in edge or try gettings emails etc, it never connects to the internet.
I even managed to go to FieldTest to see if any bands are switched off but even there everything was fine.
I even logged a call with service provider, to see if its a server side problem, but they say its ok on their side.
Any suggestions? do you think my phone is faulty? anyone encountered this before and manage to fix this?

It seems you don't have an APN configured. Please check that you do.

Fixed...hurray

Thanks for the response, i had the APN configured both automatically and Manually. but it dint work before.
Update: Not sure what happened...after 6 days of no data, and lots of calls to vodafone...something happened. and data is working again now. hope it stays that way.

Have you try to reset to official build? And to me it seems like it could be a hardware issue rather than a software/firmware, since didn't see others have similar one.

I have the same problem. Hope you were able to find a solution. My problem also with wifi not able to find any network.

Connectivity
I am also having connectivity issues with my unbranded 950XL dual sim. On data, it appears to be logging on to an inappropriate network. Unlike previous OS's, I can't figure out how to get this one to manually select another network. There are some WiFi networks, usually at hotels, that I just simply cannot log on to. Everyone else can. Any advise will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Under the SIM settings, there's a "Scan for Network" or similar button, which will present a list of the providers available. This allows you to correct a mis-selected provider, manually.
On the WiFi issue, I responded to your other thread. Let me know if you aren't seeing that, and I'll post here too.
