Hey guys,
is any app to find hide wifi networks or some way on the RC33 build that can show those networks?
tks
some1????..
since it's supposed to be hidden, you can't see them. unless you know exactly the name of the network.

Unless you can put a wifi device into monitoring mode and sniff packets.

You are exactly right, the mode is called promiscuous mode, which is extremly hard to enable. You need like 100 pages manual to make it work.

Nope, it's monitoring mode, putting a NIC into promsic mode just listens for everything above the link layer you can even put wired NICs into promisc modes, but sniffing wifi packets you are interested in the link layer packets.
And how I can turn the monitoring mode?

I don't know enough about the G1 wifi driver, unless the wifi driver and any binary blobs that get loaded on module install support monitoring mode you are SOL.

I always hate going into the settings to enable/disable data. Is there a widget in the market that does that?
Good question.
How would a 3G switch function differently than enabling Airplane mode?
Curious as well...

Kinda but no. Switchpro widget has both airplane and 3g on/off switches. As of right now only the airplane part works.

Yes! Theres an app for free called Widgetsoid in the Market. I just found out about it today in the 'post your homescreens' thread. Works great!

So what is the difference between Airplane mode and turning off 3G?
I am pretty sure airplane mode kills wifi and bluetooth as well, thou you can turn wifi back on.

I use Widgetoid (think thats it). Turn on Airplane mode and you're all good. Just need to switch back on WiFi.

There is no officially supported way to disable 3G besides Airplane Mode. Airplane Mode disables the 3G radio, while widgets just change the APN to something that doesn't work.

You can disable 3G from mobile network settings. Just uncheck data enabled.

Sangreal, What benefit (or not) would this have over engaging Airplane mode?

Airplane mode disables all of the radios, and you have to re-enable them each time you power the device on.

I've noticed that unchecking that doesn't actually power down the 3G radio. It will still show up in the power monitor under settings. I'm aslo curious if there is a way without using airplane mode to have the tablet not bug about activation every time it starts up.
Thank you!

True, but I meant from a programming standpoint, so a widget could do it. Maybe it's been added in the 3.0 SDK but I haven't heard about it. I know google took out the ability to turn on and off the 3G with a program because it can cost users money.
I've been trying to figure out if I can share WiFi that I have on my phone with Laptop/PC/Tab.
So far, I've only found out that Data Plan is the most common, or I must say, the defacto standard. I could find little to no reference of sharing a connection other than my data plan. I went through someone's post over another forum and found out that someone is doing just that. I asked how he did it and he posted screenshots to show how his S3 could route his home WiFi to his Laptop via USB Tethering.
I tried doing the same but at the moment I have no spare connection so I couldn't test this out, but, just for curiosity I tried looking into settings and found out that tethering is only possible for data plan So I installed all drivers (earlier they were giving a problem) then connected my Laptop to phone via USB cable and enabled tethering.
I thought I was done but then just to be sure, I disabled my SIM network. I turned on Airplane mode and then... tethering.disabled
Here, look how the option is grayed out
BTW my D410 is running on Stock ROM V10a-IND-XX, if it helps
Update
My bad, I didn't know about the Airplane Mode and assumed that it only disabled the carrier network. Turns out that one has to re-enable WiFi after turning on the airplane mode.
Here, find the screenshots attached. It clearly shows WiFi will be disabled and when after enabling airplane, I turn on WiFi, it works.
Wouldn't it be easier to buy a usb WiFi card from Amazon?

I already have a USB modem. That's not the problem.
Just wanted to know if it is even theoretically possible because, well, it is(possible), on an S3 ? Fact is, that, such a problem is non-existent. Usually, when you have a wireless adapter(Laptop) then you don't need your phone to handle that. Routers are easily available but phone can function like one (though kinda limited). I went through an ArchLinux forum thread where someone has modified his, wait... some old HTC phone ? to work exactly the same way. Then isn't our model capable of doing just that ?
I'm sure there must be a way.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't airplane mode also disable WiFi?
Airplane mode usually disables 3G/network and WIFI and you have to enable WIFI back on to use it with no 3G.

Oh no, I think you both are right. My bad. This a total facepalm moment. Could be because I never fiddled with settings. I thought Airplane mode was about data network, and not, WiFi
I didn't enter the control panel, just toggled the switched on and off. It's only when you pointed it out that I decided to give that a try. Worked like a charm
Thank you both for pointing out the obvious Airplane Mode 101 :good:

HI archicorn27,
do you use LG L90 D410? is it your usb tethering work normally ? I have D410 but, there is no option to enable usb tethering. I just google, and see D415 have option to use usb tethering h t t p : / / support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-10547(sorry I'm a new user, can't post url link because my post < 10)
I have a router in my room and downstairs. However, when I go downstairs, Xperia SP still connects to the access point upstairs. Is there a way for it to automatically connect to the strongest access point? Or am I blind that I miss some kind of setting?
Anyway, thanks!

There is an option for the phone to connect to a Wi-Fi network when it is available but sadly there is no option for your request unless you use a third-party application

Yes it is really annoying.. There are some roms that have that feature with wifi priorities. You can also get that feature on gravity box. Install xposed installer and gravity box. I am a little confused about the location of the setting, it may be on miscellaneous. It connects to the wifi that is on top of the list if its in range so maybe not a big deal as u have 2 routers. Anyways give it a shot.

It's so strange. This seems like a basic feature that had to be implemented a long time ago...
Anyway, thanks! I will gladly check that out
Maybe a silly question for some but is there a way to only connect to a WiFi upon selecting it and disable automatic connection of known WiFi networks?
My dash cam is WiFi and broadcasts an SSID. My phone thinks it's a good internet connection and automatically jumps to WiFi. Essentially i have no connection whenever i drive. Obviously i could turn it off every time i get near my car and back on when i get out buuuut I'm lazy lol and I've forgotten to many times already. Anyways PCs have a priority (use other connections first) sort of thing. Is this a feature or does anyone have an app? I'll research but though I'd ask. Thanks

If you select that WiFi connection, you can disable the autoreconnect option...
Try this.
Settings > Connection > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Manage Networks > 'your car'. Un-tick Auto reconnect.
Also, under Advanced > Adaptive Wi-Fi > Network Exceptions, you could try removing your car Wi-Fi from staying connected.
Hope this helps. ☺
neither option described exists on my phone from what i can see

No way to turn off auto-reconnect
I'm using a UK Exynos model. Maybe that's the difference.
These are my settings.
Why can't you select the dash cam in your phone's wifi settings and then "forget?" Especially when you're not within range of the camera?

I really don't want to put the passcode in each time. Do you every time you connect to WiFi?
I have US unlocked and I can't find that option either. Kinda strange. It should be there ,so I would call Samsung , it might be a bug.

Wow, the unlocked version is missing features that Verizon is allowing us to use? Inconceivable!
Have you tried turning off 'Adaptive Wi-Fi' completely, turning it back on when needed?
My dashcam app attempts to manage the connection itself, you have to initially connect it through the app to enable this.
When you launch the app and go to view or download the video, it connects to the cam and does it's thing. If you come straight out of the app, it stays connected but if you exit viewing the cam within the app, it conveniently disconnects the wifi for you.
Obviously your dashcam might not be capable of this but I thought I'd post it anyway because it's an easy setting to miss on the badly translated app. I've got a DDPai cam BTW. Also, if your dashcam has an app that doesn't do this then it might be worth asking the developer to implement it.
I wonder if this will be a problem with GoPros too. They use the WiFi to connect.
I'll have to check it out when I get home.
FWIW

Is there a way that when I come into my home my wifi turns on automatically and turns data off in this app? I figured out how to turn wifi on with tasker but I want to know now if it can also turn data off when wifi connects. Galaxy s10+ so no root obv

Best option is using auto input and Tasker.
Auto input is basically a Tasker plugin that creates a virtual touch on your screen without root.
Or else you can also do this using autoTools secure settings but you will need adb for that and it won't work after reboot

Ok. One thing maybe you can help me with. I've noticed that after setting up my wifi with tasker the wifi shuts off from time to time. I don't think it's signal strength because I'm either 3 or full bars. Then like a few seconds later tasker will turn it back on. I know its triggered from the cell tower but I have no idea.

I don't experience the same.
It works just perfect for me.
Are you sure you are not doing something wrong?
Try mailing the developer
It could just be my router. It's in the basement and I'm 2 floors above
As for determining your proximity to your location, one good idea is to use two different sized or two location geo fences that you can cross reference against each other
