Hi all. I use my WiFi direct a lot transferring files back and forth between tablet and phone. Many apps make this quite easy.
Problem is, anytime I make a group to connect the 2, it creates some random password that has to be typed in. Is there some way to create a permanent group and passphrase?

Every month I have paid much money for phone and internet fee(9800 yen). I want to disable internet connection because it is not necessary for me.
thanks in advance
you can create a new internet connection and replace the default with it.
thanks for reply but how to make new connection.
Hello. What do you mean? You mean I can use it for a non-softbank account? (via 3g?) Of course, I suppose we could just delete the whole softbank account, and therefore it would not be able to "connect" via 3G, and we could connect via a wireless account, but then softbank mail would not work, right? I wonder if it is possible to just disable connecting to the internet via explorer.... any ideas?
@taicyber: i ran into a similar problem. sometimes while in my carrying case, my keitai would connect to the internet via internet explorer, and my monthly fee for internet usage was much higher than it should have been. so i took a couple steps. first, i changed the internet button on the front of the phone to a different function (that's apparently the button that often gets accidentally pressed). after that, i changed pie's (pocket internet explorer's) start page to a local file (ie. the help file). that step solved the majority of my problems. what was happening when it auto-connected was that yahoo.co.jp was the start page, and that page has HUNDREDS of little pics and ads that refresh every few minutes and drive those packet amounts up. if you make it a local file you'll no longer have those mystery packets being sent. and it doesn't affect your mms/sms in any way. having the dummy file as a start page made it safe for me to change the pie button back to it's default function of opening up pie.
also, just for reference, i don't think you have to worry about the phone being connected to the 3g network too much. unless a page that refreshes itself frequently is opened, then no data is sent. the only problem i run into with 3g being connected is that it kills my battery faster.
thanks shunsai. I have experience like you said. and I also changed the button and defalult.html(in /windows).But I am not sure if my phone will connect internet via other way.
Hey it might not be super helpful in this case, but for me I disable gprs using a piece of software called 'NoData'. it will let you quickly switch on / off data connections. Search the forums for NoData and you'll find links to it.
The issue sounds specific to Softbank the carrier though so YMMV.
Hey guys,
First of all, I am new to the forum, but I have been reading it thus far. Now, I have a problem that I cannot solve. I did not find anything related with the problem I have. I need your advises and help.
I recently bought an Atrix 4g and trying to figure it out. I configured Apn connection and installed a software called 'apn on-off' to be able to disable or enable my internet. It works well, however, after enabling it, it takes so long/forever to connect the edge connection again. So I am not able to do anything online since it does not connect, or I must await a long time for it to connect again. Why am I having this problem?
Also, is there any way to manually update my programs such as weather and facebook, instead of waiting for them to automatically update themselves, which I don't want to ?
Lastly, when it connects to edge or wifi, all programs update themselves. It is annoying to me. I would like to use my internet manually, as I want it to connect whenever I want to use or click 'update', instead of connecting automatically, which is arbitrary. Is it possible? I miss my old HTC in this respect
Thanks in advance
Im over in Afghanistan right now (such fun) and my wife is going to be purchasing me a tablet to use (mainly e-reader, messing around with it etc and send it over here to me. Ive pretty much settled on the Tab at this point. There is no WiFi, however I've got internet on a computer through a LAN. However, Ive been trying to do some research and find out how I can install apps and what not onto it without being on WiFi, and not looking good so far. Know Im going to need to root it and what not (Ive had a ton of droid phones, so familiar with that). Is the only way I'll be able to update/download stuff on here is by loading the APK file onto the Tablet itself via USB? Or is there a tether possibility, having the USB hooked up to the Tab from the computer with internet, and I can use the Tab as if it were on the internet at that time as well. Anyone who could offer some advice on this, I'd appreciate.
Lastly, If I use it as my ereader as well (using the Kindle app), will I not be able to load books on it due to the fact that its not on a wireless network (in other words, can the books be downloaded and loaded onto the tab via syncing after Ive got the Kindle app on?)
Any thoughts/ideas with any of this or workarounds would greatly be appreciated!
It comes with a usb cable, plug it into the computer and it acts like an external drive. Copy files from computer over to tab, and you should be able to open and install them with the tab. I've transferred a few APK files from my PC to my tab and used File Expert to open and install them. I am not rooted, by the way.
Could you get a cheap wireless router to plug into the computer to give yourself wifi?
Unfortunately we cant use wireless routers out here. So really, the only way for me to get anything on it would to be downloading the APK on to the computer, and transfering it that way im assuming. Would I be able to download just the APK for most apps and do it that way, or am I pretty much limited due to the fact that I cant connect directly to the market over wifi. Thanks for the reply.
So I've just gotten a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 to go with my S3 and now that I have more than one device floating around my house, I'm wondering if there is a better way to share files and data among them than to hook each to my computer separately and then transferring stuff around by USB. I'm looking into Kies, but in the past, I've never been able to get it to work correctly, so I'm not sure if this will work any better on this attempt. Am I on the right path, or is there something different / better than Kies that I could use to have all three devices available on the network for sharing?
I guess I should probably ask if what I want is even possible... I'd really like an always on type of networking where as long as the device is online, I can push data back and forth (ie if my tablet is at home sleeping, and there is a file I want to get from it, I can access it from my phone and vis versa). In addition to that, I'd like a similar connection to exist between my two mobile devices and my computer so I can transfer files back and forth with the computer without having to take up desk space by connecting the device with USB. Please let me know if this is possible, and if it is, the best way to go about doing it in a stable and secure way.
Thanks.
bump in hopes of getting some guidance...
I cannot connect to a single wifi network. Home/work/anywhere, I've read where you can enable the secret menu and do some trickery through the phone but I have the Verizon Note 2 and you can't just dial a number and get to the secret menu.
Once I did try and download this zip file with some wifi files in it that I had to overwrite on the system partition using ES file explorer (found an article covering this exact problem) but this did not fix my problem.
not to mention i've done a pure 100% factory restore to 4.1.1. to no avail. ran custom roms. no avail. Its getting very frustrating. I am unlimited so I care less than others, but some of my apps are used over the network ie: unified remote for my computer hooked to my bigscreen.
When I use a rom, it just tries to connect for one instance then doesnt do anything. on the factory image it will say authentication error every time.
I've gotten my phone to connect to my home wifi ONCE and it was very crappy connection, would lag while using the cursor on the bigscreen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm very familiar with following directions and rooting/romming or even some adb commands. Let me know if there is anything I can do to remedy this situation. Thanks!!!!

Why is Samsung not fixing this issue?
after doing some more research everything i've found points at the problem being Wireless N.
I havent had a chance to test it out on my own yet as I am still at work but That is fine, I can change my wifi at home to G and be ok with that, but in the end that means I will not be able to connect to work/public places ever as long as they are wireless N.
Come on get with the program Sammy!!!!
