Your Android Smartphone will already tell you your Wi-Fi connection is secured or not. Go to the Settings Then Wi-Fi and look for connections that are labeled ‘open’ or ‘unsecured’ and connect. Mostly look around public spaces, like cafes and Malls for passwords to be posted, or ask their neighbor if you can want to use their Wi-Fi network for a bit. The important thing you should remember to use your scanner and keep your eyes peeled.

Also, did you know that if you ask nice enough to any stranger in the mall, he/she might allow you to pair your phone via Bluetooth just for the LULZ...?

I'm new to the forums but I have tried to read through as much as I can. I updated to 2.2 last week with the update from samsung. I knew that the "update" wouldn't work any better with my work's wifi connection but I wanted to try anyways.
My question is, out of all the roms out there, do any of them work using 802.1x security with authentication through peap and mschapv2?
I can see our network but can't connect to it, our radius servers don't even see my connection attempts. I work in the school's IT department so we have spent a pretty fair amount of time trying to make this work. Not just for me, but for other android users as well.
I've tried using a few of the wifi apps but none of them seem to help.
I am using a samsung captivate on att, not rooted.
Thanks for any help

Add the network manually and select the right authentication method. In settings>wireless
Thanks for the reply but I've been through the whole wifi menu and tried different settings and I can't seem to get anything to work so I was thinking of rooting and loading a rom if enterprise wifi connections are better.
Any rom is basically going to work the same as far as wifi goes. As long as you can select the settings to match your network as shown in the screenshot, it should work.

Not always. If he needs and ad-hoc connection he needs to use a different wpa_supplicant than the one that comes with stock and many of the custom roms. As well, it is possible that the dhcpcd on the rom he is running is not capable to obtain ip/dns/subnet from his particular network.
Take a look here for the dhcp info and here for the supplicant thingy (not sure if is compatible with galaxy s, there was one for SGS floating around but cant find it atm)
If still doesnt work, it should work by editing the bcm... something.conf in data (i dont have my phone with me.)
EDIT: Im using my phone with LEAP / IPsec and is a pain to configure it without an app that someone made for this specific network configuration
Hello everyone,
I made a WoL app some month ago, but forgot to talk about it here.
I've updated it for Mango two weeks ago, and thanks to the sockets availability in the new SDK, it can now suit all scenarii of use :
- Wake on LAN, on your local wifi network
- Wake on WAN, over the internet, requires that your router redirects WOL requests
It's free, and you can find it here : http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=dd5ce566-39ab-e011-a53c-78e7d1fa76f8

Feel free to send me/post your feedback
Thanks for this beautiful and useful apps.
Exactly what i was looking for.
F.
Thanks, Great app.
Can you extend the app to shutdown/restart and standby (LAN/WAN) computers too ?
Cheers
Well I'll give it a look and keep you posted. But you'll have to install a small executable on your PC to do that.
No problem, thanks!
Ill donate some next week
Really nice app, unfortunately donwload links do not work....

Thanks dude !!!!
Why can't I find this great app in my marketplace in Netherlands (Pays Bas) ?
There was a problem on the marketplace
But now it's fixed, and I would prefer that you don't distribute the xap freely without my consent. Downloading via the marketplace allows me to have usage stats.
By the way, I did not forget about the feature requests, and I'm working on the following :
- Check if a PC is on or off
- Remotely shutdown the PC
I've written the v2.0 of the app which is almost an RC, and the PC service app (called lighthouse) which is an early alpha for now.
It works perfectly in a local network, but I have problems debugging it in the real worlds (sockets timing out, firewall blocking and stuff). If someone is interested in helping me testing, just send me a PM.
Good job!
Hello
I have a rooted att s5 and in my wifi list I seem to have had 2 access points that were fake? Cad005 and Dre tega.
both were wpa2 secured with Mac id's of 000000 by xerox corp (I used wifi analyzer).
I was afraid I was hacked downloaded malware bytes lookout avg no virus or malware. I removed some questionable apps (always from play store. ...anyways after reboot it's gone.
When they were showing no other devices showed them as being access points? They always had th e same fixed signal strength in wifi analyzer
Any ideas?

Maybe. But the signal strength never varied while walking or driving which was kinda wiered. Anyway hasn't recurred since. Thanks
Same thing happened to me
Same thing happened to me with my stock ATT S5 (with the recent OTA - G900AUCU2ANG3). In my case, the access points are legit, but from a town I was in yesterday, 50 miles away. The MAC addresses are all zero and say Xerox in WiFi Analyzer (I suspect Xerox has the OID of zero, but haven't looked it up.)
It will probably clear up with a reboot, but it's strange that old access points that previously had a signal for are still showing up with a -80dB signal in both WiFi Analyzer and in Settings/Wireless.
From an earlier post, it looks like you did the update, too. I wonder if this is a new "feature"?
the samething，see a screenshot。。。

Ive not had the problem since i reset my phone (wipe). I still use WiFi analyzer and no recurrence. Might it have to do w the wifi driver made by wifi analyzer? Did others affected install that?

Have you ever been in a situation where you needed to connect to a Wi-Fi network, but couldn’t remember the password? Or maybe there’s a network you’ve connected to with your jailbroken device, but now you need to access that network on your Mac or PC.
Well, the days of forgotten Wi-Fi passwords for computers may be a thing of the past. Wifi Password Manager is a new Google Playstore application that will list all saved Wi-Fi passwords that you’ve connected to from your rooted android device. Of course, in order for this app to be useful for the situation I mentioned, you must have previously connected to a specific network from your device in the past.
That being said, if you have built good list of remembered networks, and you need to connect to one of them from a computer, this little android application will definitely come in handy.
Once Wifi Password Manager is installed, instead of asking around for the Wi-Fi password, launch the app, tap on “Wi-Fi Password,” then select “Known Networks.” This option is made available via Wifi Password Manager and it will display a list of all known network names and their associated passwords.
Yes, my Wi-Fi password is “animalfarm.” Don’t judge me.
On top of that, you’ll be able to tap on a network in the list and copy the SSID or password. From there, you can sms or even whatsapp the information to someone or write it down and be on your way to connectivity back at your computer. It may not seem like much, but I can think of many situations where this little application would have saved the day.
The best part is, Wifi Password Manager is completely free. And for now ad-free! If this had been available in the past, I would have easily paid at least $0.99 to save me from a forgotten Wi-Fi password nightmare. Thankfully, it’s available now and you can install it via Google Playstore for free. There are no options to configure for this application.

I am on T-Mobile
I know of the build.prop edit way, and the sqlite way .. Being on T-Mobile, which one of these methods is the correct way to enable unlimited data tethering?
Dirty Unicorns shamu
Anyone?
SimpleAOSP shamu
SQLlite. I am on a T-Mobile unlimited plan with no tethering allotment, and it works perfectly with the sqllite edit.
Not trying to be a douche, but you shouldn't bump a post earlier than 24 hours has passed. it's in the rules here.
Didn't know that sorry to the mods/forum..and thanks for the clarification on the tether issue
SimpleAOSP shamu
I am having problems with tethering. I have it working with the tether_dun_required 0 using sqlite
My problem is really strange it still accumulates on my t-mobile account.
I go to my account in t-mobile where I have 3GB of tethering
and it still shows up as MB's used and even stranger is the fact that I am using GB's but it only registers to my account as MB's.
Notification states wifi hotspot is on but no device connected.
This is a recent issue because up until a couple of days ago nothing registered to my account I am at a loss at what to try next.
I have tried on multiple roms with the same result anyone have any ideas?
