This is a bit of a strange request but I've managed to forget the wifi password on my router. I connected to it before with my HD2 so I've got the network key saved on it. However when I go through the advanced settings and go to the Configure Wireless Network, it only shows asterisks in the Network Key box. Is there anyway of finding out what the key is on the HD2 withou having to go into the router settings?
Thanks
Whenever I get home, my phone always seems to default to a BT Openzone wifi, which one of the neighbours obviously has set up on their router. The problem being, that my SGS2 always decides to connect to this, rather my own wifi. Whether it's because it picks this signal up first, as might be stronger when driving in to area, I don't know. But the point is, that I never asked it to connect to this ssid...
I will then go to wifi settings, and choose "Forget this network", and then it connects to my ssid... However, I don't want it to automatically connect to open wifi's.
Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing to tell it not to connect to open wifi networks automatically? Happens every time I come home. Try connecting, cannot connect, and then realise it's conected to the openzone open wifi... Forget it, and it works. Go out, come home, openzone, forget, works. etc etc...
Using the checkrom revo hd 3.1.1, in case it's a setting that's been set up on that rom?! Had a look, but couldn't see anything
Hopefully someone can please please help

Just a suggestion:
There is an option in Settings menu => Wireless and network => WLAN settings => network notification.
Have you already tried to change this setting?
There is also an advanced menu in WLAN settings - just click menu button => advanced.
In advanced WLAN settings, you can set to use a static IP address.
If you enter an IP address for your private WLAN, then you can prevent to be connected with an open wifi dynamically.
It is not very elegant, as you have to switch this setting, if you want to receive an IP address dynamically again, for example in other WLANs.
So, it is just a workaround - not a solution.
Maybe you can find an app in the Market to save different WLAN configurations/connections and which allows you the disabling to connect to other (non-saved) WLANs.
But I have not search for such an app yet.
Good luck !
Thanks for the suggestion...
Setting a static IP is not really an option, as I'm often between different networks...
Have tried disabling the "automatically notify open wifi" setting, and will see tonight... Hopefully this will work Hadn't thought of that affecting it, but it might just...
If not, anyone else who has any further suggestions are wholly welcome

As wifi settings are mainly hosted in the kernel, you may flash a different kernel (compatible with your ROM !).
Please wipe cache partition (and Dalvik cache) in recovery mode after flashing.
Good luck !
Does your home network by any chance have a hidden SSID?
Another idea might be to look at the wifi-configfile. IIRC, it is saved in /data/wifi/bcmsomething.conf.
If you do not find it, I can check for the correct name tonight.
My phone does not and never did autoconnect to open networks (I am using CheckROM Revo HD since the first version, now at 4). Can you select the open network in wifi settings, hold long and choose to delete settings for it?
I'm having the same issue and think it is because I have the vodafone app installed, do you have that installed too?

Hello,
I just bought a new mobile 2 days ago: Samsung Galaxy S3 (International version GT-I9300)
I usually use an Ad-hoc connection network to browse internet from mobiles or another wireless device.
Now, with the new samsung device, i am unable to setup a static ip address to the mobile phone. Can someone please help me?
Note:
I already went through settings --> About Device --> Status --> IP Address marked as unavailable.
And
Settings --> Wi-Fi --> Advanced --> IP address Unavailable
I read on google, we should have had "enable IP address" and i cant seem to find it.
Other useful information: Android version: 4.04
Kernel version: 3.0.15
Thanks for helping in advance.
Kind regards
Takeur
Long press on your connected network and modify. You can only set static ip addresses individually for each network.

Like we both said, once the network is connected, in the list of wireless networks, long press the network and select "Modify".
You cannot set a static IP where you are looking. This would affect all wireless networks and also your carrier network. You would NOT want to be able to do that

The problem: the network never gets connected, as it needs a static IP first.
I understand the long press/ modify network. Even if i do it and configure the AP's IP, i cant setup the IP of my phone still.
Anybody who have the same phone as me, has he had more success please?
You don't need to actually connect. Scan so you can see it in the network list. Try to connect. As soon as you try to connect, even if it fails, you can then long press the network and modify it.

I just set the ip as follow: 192.168.1.30
The gateway is set to 192.168.1.1
Still there is no connection possible.
Cant help there.
Same problem here! Anyone found a solution?
I set the password, I enable Show advanced options, I set the static ip, gateway and DNS BUT the "connect" button(if I make my first connection) or the "save" button(if I chose modify) are greyed out on both cases!
does anyone know why?
p.s. I have done this with success in my Galaxy S2 with ICS!

I just found a solution!
I installed this app WiFi Manager found my wifi throught this app, setup the static IP, mask, gate, dns, saved and I was connected! then went to the android wifi menu, saw that this info was also saved there, so I uninstalled WiFiManager and now everything is OK!
Hello,
did u root ur device?
I installed that app too and configured the ip address for wlan card.
But when i checked with this application: "Display Wifi IP", it says that the ip is not configured.
Can u please post screenshots how u managed it?
Thanks in advance.

No, my phone is not rooted.
these are some screen shots of what I did:
1.wifimanager-push and hold the wifi
2.wifimanager-select "assign IP address"
3.wifimanager-write the IP, mask, gateway, DNS
4.android wifi settings- saved(forever) and connected (even if you uninstall wifimanager)

i did it that way too, however when i use the software "display wifi ip", it remains 0.0.0.0
With wifi manager, i was able to configure my ip, but looks like it is a permission issue
Anybody's else who knows something more?
Try changing your network prefix length to 32/24/16 or 8.
I had everything filled in completely and correctly except I left the length to 24 and the connect button was staying grayed out.
Once I changed it to 32 from the default 24 the button lite up and I immediately connected.

Already did that my friend.
The mobile is not rooted and we cant set up ad hoc networking (or a static wifi ip)
Simply pathetic.
People r making petitions as far as i no. Thanks a lot guys for helping out.
I have this problem too. I had my home WiFi with Static IP configured on my S3 a couple of weeks ago. Then I come back from a vacation, just to realize S3 forgets the WPA2 key to my network. "No worries", I said to myself, and tapped it in again.
Then I set IP settings to Static IP, but the IP address/mask/gateway/both DNS fields are all greyed out! I can't enter anything. This is ridiculous!
EDIT: Forget it guys. I'm stupid. It wasn't greyed out, but it was displaying an input mask in a grey colour. Ugh. Everything's ok.
My WIFI Fix Note 2
Ok, So here was my scenario:
I was unable to connect to my work wifi with hidden SDID and Static IP. Everytime I went to put it in, it wouldn't connect and then my wifi would turn off.
I had to find the app called AT&T Smart Wi-Fi. I turned off the wifi via this app.
After I did that, I went back into my settings and turned on the wifi under the settings dialog and not with this Smart Wi-Fi app. Then it finally let me connect, I managed to goto advanced settings after I was connected added my static IP and was good to go
Good luck everyone!
Hello..
When I upgraded my android to 4.0.3 I can't find where to enter a static Ip address for Wifi. it's not in the advanced settings anymore, where did it go??
To set a fixed ip you must go to Settings, and wireless networks, wireless settings.
Then press the 'menu' button and from the pop-up menu go to 'Advanced'.
From there you can set up different things, among which also set up a fixed ip.
there is no wireless settings, you just click on advanced setting and no static ip is there, please check.

Solution:
1. On the Wi-Fi
2. On your desired wireless network you wish to use static ip, long press,
3. Check show advance options
4. Change the ip from dynamic (dhcp) to static.
5. Then enter the static ip.
Done
