My university Wi-Fi uses WPA2 Enterprise for security and we authenticate using the following settings:
EAP Method: PEAP
Phase 2 authentication: MSCHAPV2
CA Certificate: Thawte Premium CA
and identity and password being our student credentials.

I've copied that from an old unanswered thread because I have a similar issue.
How do I disable Credential Storage so I don't have to re-enter the password every time I'm back on campus. Since I'm back and forth multiple times each day, I end up having to re-enter it constantly. On my home network I used WEP, and the HTC Inspire I use connect automatically.
I'd like to be able to connect automatically to the university network as well.

Bump. This is very annoying, and every search on Google seems to suggest you only have to specify this information once. Every single day I disconnect from my office wifi I have to put in this stupid credential storage password when I come back, which is really quite annoying.
if you do not restart the phone then the credential storage should not bother you
Looking for the same answer. Found this if your phone is rooted:

And this is it is not:

Hope that helps.

Okay. So it seems like this has been asked before but nobody was sure of how to do it.
At work I can connect to a open wireless network, however there is a web login required to get connected to wifi. I have a company login/password for this but was wondering how to get past the login webpage. I've tried all the setup and options in settings > wireless. I am forced to go to a Cisco login screen and enter my username/password every time. This is a problem because every once and a while I go into a area where the building has no wifi signal and am forced to enter my credentials over and over.
A app that manages networks, or anything would be better than entering my login/password about 10 times a day. Thanks in advance wise XDA masses!
I use my g-mail account on my SGS2 and on my pc with windows live mail.
Half the time WLM gives me a message "The server has rejected your login..." and these details.
Server: imap.gmail.com
User name: xxxx
Protocol: IMAP
Port: 993
Secure(SSL): 1
Code: 800cccd1
The problem is that there are too many simultaneous connections to my g-mail account. When I leave my home (wifi) and hit the road and my phone is connecting to g-mail using the data network, then bounces to another cell tower with another new IP address, then another, then another. By the time I get to my office and login on my PC, I've reached G-mail's maximum of 10 simultaneous connections.
The only fix I'm aware of is to open gmail with the browser and log out all open sessions, which really just re-sets the counter for another day or so. It is getting to be quite annoying.
Is there a better workaround??

Would it be feasible (or even practical) to turn off the sync during your commute? There are widgets to make this easy - Power Control, for example. Or you could use profile apps (like Toggle Settings) to determine when/where sync should occur based on time or geographic location.
Youre on to something there.
It'd be a small sacrifice, but I'd be happy with an ability to toggle autosync to exclusively use a wifi connection when it's available and not use the data network at all, or otherwise a location based toggle.
I already use juice defender ultimate, but I don't think it has exactly the functionality I'm looking for.
Toggle settings is complicated, I couldn't quite figure out how to create rules to match such needs.
Still open to ideas or help.
Most of the Questions around Wifi and credentials are the opposite of mine, they want to know where to find saved passwords or how to save them.
I'm trying to determine how to prevent Android from saving the Password when authenticating to a WAP, as we use expiring passwords that change every 2-3 minutes via RSA SecurID token.
At work we use:
802.1x EAP - PEAP
No Phase 2
No CA Cert
No user Cert
DO USE Identity
DO USE Password - RSA SecurID (Changes every couple minutes)
I'd like to figure out how to make droid prompt for a new password everytime it tries to Wifi Connect to a WAP at work, which can happens multiple times through out the day as I move around.
Currently, the droid saves the password (which expires every couple minutes) and then tries to use this expired password on the next reconnect, which locks out my account after a few retries.
So the options I can think of but, can't see a way to accomplish, are:
1. Don't save the password.
2. Prompt for credentials after any authentication failure.
3. Clear the saved password immediately.
Any one have any ideas?
Howdy all. I have a wifi at home which works with web authentication i.e. you connect your phone to wifi and on opening a browser, it redirects you to an authentication site wherein upon entering your username and password, you get connected. The authentication page requires you to keep the tab open and work with another tab, otherwise you lose the connection. When working on a PC, it works like a charm. I keep the tab open and wifi sticks for long even when you're not active. But on a smartphone (I have a Galaxy S3 here), it's a living hell trying to keep it stay connected. I've tried keeping the browser app resident in memory, created a tasker script to browse the URL and reconnect on certain intervals which honestly is too tedious and needs a better solution, used wifi web login apps which don't work to my satisfaction i.e. don't connect just when connection is lost; but in all these cases, the connection just seems to disconnect making me reconnect time and again :/. I would be utterly grateful to anybody who could suggest a solution for me for this as this is seriously making me lose my sleep.

Dunno much about wifi security protocols but this is as my ISP provided. I've tried modifying the router protocols but nothing seem to make the web authentication go away.

Nope, even setting security protocol to open shows the auth page. Might have to find a different solution for this.

it could be the provider is forcing it, have you tried another router? normally, the web authentication is a proxy, so that could be the modem, or at the provider's end

Don't think the router has anything to do with this. Only the provider URL loads in the browser for authentication. So yeah, would know if it had something to do with the router.
For 3 days I've been trying to fix the 'unstable internet connection' on my phone to no avail. Finally I found a fix. This hasn't been listed anywhere I've seen and I've been researching this non-stop for days.
Go to your wifi connection and see what your IP address is. Then check your other devices. The IP address on the phone I was having the problem on was different from every other device in my house.
THE FIX
Choose your wifi network, tap and hold it. Choose modify. Then choose 'show advanced options. Under proxy settings choose manual. Under IP settings coose Static. You'll now be able to manually enter your IP address. As for the proxy host name, proxy port, and bybass proxy for, I just entered something random.
When I restarted my phone for the first time the 'unstable connection' part came back and I had to disconnect and reconnect and it was fine again.
Hope this helps people until we get a fix.

Does this work if you're on a dynamic IP network? What about if you're switching regularly between open and closed networks? This perhaps resets the WiFi. I've looked at advanced settings before, but this happens with mainly open networks, and I believe that these typically have dynamic IP addresses. The protected network in my home is rarely an issue, but open networks are what give me fits.
No harm in trying, and if it works, that'd be awesome. I'm wondering if done once it fixes all such issues that one encounters, or must be done with every new network.
@freeza has a fix in the works in the form of a kernel, and so far, it's pretty solid. The only issue I've found is that if ya flash anything, you have to reflash the fix. Odd, but does the job.

For this to really work, you'd need to do more than the OP states. ALL basic home routers/access points come setup with DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) which assigns IP addresses from numbers it keeps in a "pool". If you manually force your phone to use an IP (lets say 192.168.1.15) then leave the network (you go on some business trip) - and in the mean time, one of your kids adds some other device, or simply reconnects a device that hadn't been on the network for a while. After a certain period (the "lease" period of the IP), the router will put that IP BACK into the pool of available IPs. And since nearly all routers assign IPs bottom up (lowest to highest), if 15 is the next available number - you're toast. You come home, your phone tries to connect on 192.168.1.15 and gee- sorry - your son's PSP is on that IP.
For this to be a workable long-term solution, you'd have to enable static IPs within the router (a better way to do it anyway - that's how I have my network setup). You would simply go into the router, and tell it which IP to give to a device based on that device's MAC address.
Just figured I'd throw this out there because if an IP collision happens, the 2nd device in will simply get nothing - don't want someone tossing their phone out a window when it suddenly won't connect to a home network.
