[Q] Secured WIFI Issues?

Does anyone else have problems getting their D3 to connect to a wifi network secured with wpa/ wpa2 psk? Mine absolutely refuses to, I've never gotten past obtaining an IP address, which is odd because my asus transformer and my laptop have no problem connecting. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

bump... please someone help lol

No issues here.
Don't mean to state the obvious, but are you sure you have the correct password/phrase? Try deleting the connection on one of your other devices and then re-establish it to make sure you have it right. Also, which the password/phrase entry box on the D3 as you put each character in to make sure it's going in correctly.

Hi there,
The XT860 version connects to WPA/WPA2 PSK no problem at all and has been generally supported in linux-based systems for quite some time. I imagine if this is your problem, it's related to a network setting more so than your phone.
1) Check the SSID -- they are case sensitive
2) Check if there's a MAC ID filter, if so, you need to add your phone
3) Make sure DHCP is enabled on your router (should be by default)
4) Make sure your passcode is set properly, again case sensitive.
If your problem is with WPA2 Enterprise, that's a different issue and I can explain to you how to fix that.
Cheers,
Justin

I appreciate the responses.
1. SSID is correct.
2. No Mac ID filter.
3. DHCP is enabled.
4. Passcode is set properly.
Still wont connect for some reason with this type of security. Im pretty certain that it connected when it was unsecured btw and when I set a WEP, but for some reason it wont connect with WPA.
Any other ideas/ advice would be appreciated. Thanks Again.

Here's a much more thorough guide:
http://searchnetworking.techtarget.com.au/articles/41635-How-to-fix-Android-Wi-Fi-problems
One thing not in the guide is also the ensure the encryption type matches up -- there are both TKIP and AES; make sure the Router is set to AES (it's a superior encryption method, and I can confirm that it works).
I can confirm that WPA2 works on the Droid 3, XT860 and I'll assume it works in general since there are very few posts on a Google search. If this were a phone issue, it would be a widely cited concern given the prevalence of WPA networks.

Might just be a problem with the wifi chip in your D3. I use a DGL-4500 router and my D3 connects to it just fine, using WPA2 AES. If you get the same issues with other routers I would take the phone in for a replacement.

I noticed on my netgear router that the mode was set to 300mbps for n wireless. Dropped it down to 180 or whatever the next lowest srtting was and a)solved the same problem and b)no longer drops the wifi broadcast.
Huzzah!

its not the wifi chip because it connects to other networks, tomorrow morning im gunna try changing the security type tomorrow and see what happens... this is really weird because my asus transformer connects just fine, any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, so i tried changing the settings to wep, couldnt connect... I turned security off, and it connects just fine... this leads me to believe its gotta be something with the encryption method. anyone have any ideas? Any advice would be appreciated.

WEP Encryption for WiFi Hotspot

I'd like to ask if there's a way to enable WEP for the portable hotspot feature on the tab. Currently the only options are either open or WPA2. I'm planning to use my tab as an access point for my DSi. I'm looking for a solution that at most would not require me to root my tab. Thanks!

I literally have the exact same problem. I am running the Neutrino ROM ver. 2.2GT on my Atrix 4G, and the only option for security in Portable Hotspot is for WPA2-PSK. Very annoying, because my PSP and my DSi both do not support this standard.
So, is there any way to add in WEP support? I really don't want to go unsecured, because there is a risk of someone connecting and tearing through my paltry 2GB data cap

I apologize for reviving such an old thread, but I suppose it's better than creating a new one with the same topic instead, eh?
Also, just to add: Yes, I am aware that I could just use something like Barnacle Tether (which DOES support WEP), but it uses AD-HOC, which the DS and PSP do not support. I presume that the default Portable Hotspot option in the Neutrino ROM I am using does not use AD-HOC, as I AM able to connect with my DS and PSP when it is unsecured.

Ad hoc support for ics?

Hi,
Is there any sulotions for ICS to support ad hoc? I have searched alot and I need to connect my Note to my PC's internet. The problem is that my pc is to old to support connectify etc...
Reverse tethering app uses my data plan in order to appear the connection as 3G. And it uses cable. Not good enough.
Ad hoc would be best option.
Thank you

Don't you have a wireless router?

If you ever heard of an application for Nokia called JOIKU HOTSPOT you will be interested on this topic. I use joiku hotspot on my nokia phone to enable to connect to multiple devices at home. I don't have wired internet. Since this is an ahhoc wifi hotspot I am not updating to ICS unless a hack is available to enable wpa supplicant to "see" the joiku adhoc signal. On gingerbread I had to download and install a modified wpa supplicant file to connect to joiku .

You can try these
I hope those work

I have used joiku on my nokia
exactly i still dont understand wat exact you want.
You saying reverse tethering have some issue - Now reverse tether application using your wired Internet of your PC for your android device
While Joiku spot is for sharing your device network to PC
So question is you want to share net from your device to PC
OR
want to share PC internet to device?
Edit :wat i understand now is
You dont have wifi router, but just you have created wireless netwok (virtual) and you want to share your device net to PC wirelessly
if yes
try this, it have ad hoc support if i remember correctly, since long i have not used it.

I am not the OP. Anyway I want to share my nokia phone internet connection thru joiku with my galaxy note Wifi. I tried ICS briefly but it does not detect joiku. Back to GB now and I can connect to joiku thru nokia phone.

I don't know. It is strange. If i have no credits in my sim card, and I connect to internet via the app, it goes fine. But I can't see connection as 3G and some apps don't work due to this.
Then when I put credits to my sim card, the connection appears as 3G. And the data plan button turns green whenb checking in setings. If i turn of I lose coonection as 3G. Some times it doesn't use data plan, but often it does.
BTW, I never use data plan for anything it is always disabled, but the reverse tether app turns on.
No idea what is wrong.

Hmmm. Your problem has nothing to do with adhoc?

OMG! He said that the reverse tether is not using my data plan. Thats why I wrote that and thats why i ASKED in first post if someone have a solution for AD HOOOOC.
I never asked for anything else than a solution for ad hoc support for ICS for galaxy note.
And u shoud had started ur own post with ur nokia. U ruined the thread too

Disable carrier check with T-Mobile changed with marshmallow?

Has anyone found a reliable method to disable the carrier check on marshmallow? I recently went over and they throttled me after hitting the 7gb mark. I made the dun change in my apn but it still is over.
Thanks!

I've been wondering the same thing. Since updating to 6.0, no setting or app has helped out. I've been using WiFi router app forever and it's worked flawlessly before updating to 6.0.

well, tmobile did start a campaign about a month ago to stop all people that are tethering illegally. they have stated that they know everyone who is tethering illegally now.
---------- Post added at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------
anyways, nothing to do with your question, but http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/attention-questions-t3228454

I also realized that I had the tethering no provision set to True, just switched to false and will see

So all the prior stuff stopped working. I can't get wireless to stop counting, but if you download foxfi, buy the key for it or pdanet, install the pdanet client on your computer, you can wired USB tether without it counting against mobile Hotspot. You have to use their option to hide tether from carrier but I can confirm that this works without it counting against Hotspot usage

Solution for ChromeCast without internet connection

Hello,
I want to show a dashboard on the tv in my company. The app is ready and it works fine ( checked it at home) but through the network policies in the company it is not possible to give the chromecast internet access. Is there a work around for the App id check ? The webserver is installed locally . The Cast should only show a website form the server.
Maybe it would be great if there is a solution without rooting it, but with a good guide it would also be possible.
Is there a way to manipulate the Google DNS ?
Greets,
Sissie

I have not seen a work around. I have seen this same question posted several times. I travel alot for work and when I'm in the hotels, I use my phone as a Hotspot to get my Chromecast to work. That is an option.
Note 4 using Taptalk

Thats one point but is their a way to switch the call of the chromecast to his "start"screen in the router to a local "manipulated" website ?

If you have a phone with hotspot you could turn it on, connect the Chromecast to it, start up a cast and right after that, turn off your data so it doesn't eat up your data plan and you're all set. Hope this helps!

Do we need to follow the above steps every time we want to connect cromecast as offline user ?

This needs Internet anyway, even if for a short time
I wonder if this can instead be done this way, with a rooted phone acting as tethered wifi hotspot:
- set CC to connect to the tethered wifi network on the rooted Phone (explained elsewhere)
- set the rooted phone to manipulate iptables (but how'? block? redirect to what?) DNS request to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 coming from the CC
This shouldn't need internet at all.

Yea, it does... Not sure how changing the DNS server would help?
