Since I started making and receiving calls and texts via wifi I thought about how nice it would be to actually carry the tab with me in my laptop bag and have it automatically connect to open wifi spots without user interaction. Is this possible.
If I can get a notification of an open network, someone should be able to add code to or from to auto connect and disconnect without storing a thousand networks addresses... PigBak app... or something...
Sorry if this has been discussed couldn't find anything on site wide search..

after a little more searching I found an app that functions the way I'd like it to... Wefi pro seems to do what I need for seamless calls.

Sometimes when I run an app, I get informed that thee is no internet connection and I can't launch the app, even though it clearly says I'm on 3g. This actually happens frequently kinda, like when I run the YouTube or livescores app. Has anyone experienced this?

I may be trying to get the feed from Wifi. Turn off the wifi just to make sure.
Hi.
My apps complain when they are using the wifi network, don't have a problem on EDGE though...
None of my apps, except the browser, can access internet while using wifi. If someone can help me fix this, I will really appreciate that... This problem is giving me a real headache...
Thanks.
hello,
i have been visiting this site for a while now and it has been extremely useful.
i have recently registered because i got a lot of help from here and because im having a trouble which couldn't find the answer to anywhere.
i have a cf-rooted galaxy s2 i9100 firmware xwkk5, i came across with an amazingly comfortable app called ssh droid which allows me to extract or transfer files from or to my phone through wifi, unlike blue tooth its faster and easier.
i have managed to get the app working except for one gruesome side affect: soon after using the app i could no longer use internet connection on my phone through wifi, the only way to fix this was through disabling 3g and wifi and reconnect to wifi, only that a few moments later the problem would surface again and i couldnt use the internet even though it would appear like im connected to wifi and all is good.
the app has not affected 3g surfing only wifi surfing.
i had to wipe and flash to stock rom twice in order to fix this issue since even deleting the app proved to be useless, so frankly even though i would like to use this app very much it also looks a bit risky.
has anyone heard of this problem before?
any help would be appreciated.
I use quickSSHd, it's a payed app but I haven't had any problems with it.

My Android Tablet or phone are having problem connecting to a hidden network.
Set up the hidden network,i see my tablet or are connect to the hidden network but i got no DATA.
My friend IOS(Ipad or Iphone) connect to the same hidden network and everything works fine,my windows laptop work fine too.
Is it a problem with Android or I'm doing something wrong.
Any help?
I don't know about Prime connecting to a hidden network, but if you're disabling your router's SSID broadcast in hopes that it'd be hidden, don't. Any scanner will be able to pick up your router signal, SSID or no. And if anybody wants to get on your wifi, they'd be using a scanner. All you're doing is inconveniencing yourself, like this particular instance.
More here,

This is my company network so I can't change anything on the SSID...
Galaxy tab 10.1-Android 3.2 not working
Asus transformer prime-Android 4.0-not working
Asus transformer-android 4.0-not working
HTC EVO 3D-Android 2.3-not working

Odd, my hidden SSID network at work is fine. Picks it up no problem. By chance do you have a browser redirect on the network?

Just to make sure, you are adding the network manually while not connected to any networks, using appropriate security correct?

I have the same problem with the wireless at my school. It must have something to do with multiple access points that overlap. It will always connect but can't pull any data. Sometimes after you wait for a while it will start working. Very strange.
Windows laptop always works fine.

Could this something in Android OS?

It could be an issue with android that has been overlooked due to the small amount of people who probably connect to a hidden network with an android device.
Is there a voice / messaging app that will work via a wifi connection WITHOUT the need for an Internet connection? For example, two people with phones connected to the same router over wifi, but NO ACCESS to the Internet. I'm assuming apps like Skype would require both devices to be able to communicate with the Skype server to initiate the call, but might allow peer-to-peer afterwards.
I am not interested in making calls or texts to people outside of the wifi network. Does such an app exist?

without any kind of data connection, you cannot communicate to the other person. unless you are conversating in person or via us mail.

Do you understand the difference between the INTERNET and WIFI? It would work over WiFi, but not need a central server, nor would it need a connection to the Internet. If you knew the IP address for the other phone, for example, you could connect with it directly.
I don’t know if there is any local network messaging app for android, but I think it is definitely possible to write such app.
But even if there is no such application, you can always set up your own local XMPP (or some other IM protocol) server (visible only from local network) and use any messaging app which supports XMPP protocol. There are plenty of them.
I was thinking of something along those lines. I suppose the heavy solution would be to use a separate computer with asterisk, but I was hoping to find something with just the phones as hardware. The Android 4.0 software has wifi p2p built in, but I'd hate to limit the solution to that environment.
I did find something that seems to work, but is buggy and requires root access: Serval Mesh
This looks like an incredible project and I hope it continues to progress.
If anyone knows of something similar, please reply.

Wifi != internet... You can setup a wireless LAN to share files between computers / devices, without it being connected to the internet. WIfi is just wireless networking... external internet isn't required...

Try this as an experiment: cancel your service with your Internet provider, but keep the router with wifi. Why pay money for the Internet when you've already got wifi? It's the same thing, right?

Guys it is so funny to read your arguments about what is Internet and what is WIFI! You are all wrong as you need to read a bit about that!!!
WIFI is the mean of communications to the network no metter if it is Internet or somthing else and Internet is the global network that you use day to day without even thinking about what it is with all it's services and infrastructure!:laugh:
p2p video calling
Looks like the app ain't on play store any more. I found one app which allows only voice calls p2p over the wifi, but doesn't have the video calling option.
Anyone know any such app featuring p2p video calling too?

Hello! I want to know if there is any app which works like TCPView by Sysinternals for Windows.
I simply want to disconnect active data connections, no matter if wifi or mobile data.
Does such a tool exists?
Edit: i found tools like net tools withhin i can show but dont close active connections.
Also alogcat seems to only show data connections.

I'd recommend some firewall app. Just closing a connection will not hinder the app to re-open it again. Using a firewall app, you can make sure the connection stays closed.
The shell command netstat shows active connections.
Thank you. Im alrdy using avast fw with whitelist mode and it works as it should.
I was asking because some apps dont start until they got an internet connection (even if they dont need one) or it takes rly long till connection times out so they can start.
So i thoight i could block them going online and disconnect the pending connection which is -listening- to some port and waiting for connection.
