Hello all
Since I flash so much, I was wondering how or if you can back up your wifi settings. Now what I mean is backing up all the networks you connected to and their passwords.
Is there a certain file I can just copy from my SD card?
Thank in advanced

There is an app called IP Manager that lets you create wifi profiles. That may do the trick
Added: Any wifi connections remembered are saved in a file. You can find this at /data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf

First time i did. Second time i used miui backup and third time i used both just selecting a couple nessesary apps because i thought it might be an app.
I had a similar problem, and I think I narrowed it down to restoring data in the system apps. Try deleting data and cache from Gmail, Talk, Voice, and the market...

Works! Thanks!
How do you backup apps and app settings without rooting?
I have tried Kies Air and Android Manager but they don't work.
My wireless ip that the apps say I should register is 192.168.2.14, but when I do an ipconfig, only 192.168.2.13 shows up. I can't ping 192.168.2.14. I've also tried reinstalling my wireless card drivers and resetting my computer.
I read that with 2.2, Google supposedly backs-up your app settings, but it doesn't! My phone crashed and I reinstalled all the same apps manually and none of the app settings came back! For example, for call block apps, I had to input all the blocked numbers again manually.
Is there a USB based solution or an app that will backup app settings?
Just get titanium backup from the market!

I think Titanium requires root to work..
Hi,
Is there an app or posibility to backup the system settings like titanium backup for apps and their data...
Would be really nice because this is the only thing I have to do manually after flashing a new rom!
Thanks

Okay, and how to do this? Is it save all system data? There all the data from the system apps will be backuped but are there these settings included?
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Yes, it can save everything
It's why everyone loves it.
But I wouldn't recommend saving system settings in TB (especially those in RED color) and restoring them to your ROM. It may corrupt your ROM.
So is there a description which setting are saved in which system app? Wifi access points I already found and its green... So I need the settings for desktop icons, display timeout and brightness, ringtone, notification tone, ringtone specified for contact, allowing non-market apps.
Thats everything I changed so far...

RED = Highly recommended not to backup/restore
Green = Mostly safe to backup/restore
Most of what u describe I would input manually. I just batch restore USERS APPS+data only. System settings I don't even touch it.
At least that's my opinion.
yeah works fine thanks

I do have it.
This might be a dumb question but why would you want to freeze the mobile hotspot? Can't it be toggled on/off in settings?
i think he wants it out of his app drawer, or maybe he's having the same problem i'm having,weather i use opengarden, barnacle, or any of the other tethering apps, i get an icon in my notification that the "verizon" app is trying to use wifi tether
Just get some app that freezes apps. Titanium can do the job. I got my hotspot froze.

You cannot freeze it. It is buried inside some other system program, I don't remember which. You could find it and edit it out, but that is pretty advanced stuff.
He wants to freeze it because it is ALWAYS running. It will drive you insane if you use a task manager widget.
The only thing I know to work is a custom ROM. None of them have it, but you can use AOSP Wifi tether. Try Eclipse.

Howdy people...I'm not sure why, but google seems not to ever want to store my wifi passwords. Stock GB..never worked...CM10 doesn't work. I'm currently running the excellent leaked stock ICS...why does google recover everything else but my passwords? (and yes I have the box ticked to enable backups) is there anyway I can explore my account server to retrieve them? The landlord of local is getting racked off with me asking every time I mess about and install a new ROM! Help much appreciated.
Titanium Backup can do it but I don't know if that's in the free version, you can also just make a .txt and put it on your external sd card.
On cm where is the problem to look into data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file?
And write down the password? LoL...

same here, I use Titanium Backup (pro)
for me it used to work on CM7
but it didn't on the experimental CM9 builds or on CM10
I did sometimes, isn't it?
Don't really know why, but it's the same for me with the automatic app recovery after full wipe.
Sometimes they get restored, sometimes not. Same with the WIFI psswds.
It says during initial screens but it never did seems like bug ...
they've never been recovered with me. I've had the phone for 6months or so.. It's a bit of a pain. I keep flashing new roms but you'd have expected them to sync in the same way as with contacts etc! anyway. It would just be great to know whether it's my phone playing up or my Google account. It has to be one of the two... I'm guessing ill never know as it seems you can't check what is actually stored on the Google server.

This is what I do. It's probably the most reliable way to store your Wi-Fi passwords.
