Hey all,
I work at a private school and a couple of times now I caught a glimpse of a message on my phone, "user Names PC has logged off" or "Disconnected". Unfortunately I do not remember precisely what the message was as it flashed by quickly but both times it was the name of a student and appeared as though their PC (2 diff students) was connected to my phone. I checked all the wireless settings and nothing (that I can tell) is open for anyone to access my phone:
Wi Wi Hotspot is off
BT Tethering is off
BT is off
everything is Share and connect is off
I am baffled as to what this message is and should I be concerned? Both students are not Tech savvy...however one student in their class is.
Any insights?
Thanks
Wireless storage?
LG G2

Hello everyone,
I'm new android user! I'm delighted whit it on x10 mini pro. But I came across a few problems:
My first problem is with WiFi. I don't have wifi router, but I made my laptop to work as a virtual router for wifi, so other computers and mobile phones are free to join my network via WiFi.
However my X10mini is having hard time detecting my wifi network, and when it does it won't connect on it! It doesn't have that problem on real routers for wifi. (My second phone, Samsung jet, can connect to my wifi network without poblem). I have tried with "WiFi Finder" but the problem is same.
I should probably mention that bluetooth has the same problem. I can detect another phone but I can't make any transfer of data between the phones!
What should I do?
P.S. I bought the phone a few days ago and the android software version is 2.1
for the problem with bluethooth try to see in the option, there is one abuot visibility, check it
... sorry for english im italian XD

you can take it from your internet connection on your pc like DSL right click on it then status then details
i was having same problem but this worked for me
Hi androidx10
Your WiFi problem could depend on the wifi network, stock firmware cannot connect to "ad hoc" networks.
Try to install apps like "wifi buddy" from the market, it can help you to scan networks and identify ad-hoc links.
For the bluetooth usually there are no problems sending files but receiveng them.
Try to install from the market apps like "bluetooth file transfer" or "astro bluetooth" to exchange files with other devices.
Good luck and enjoy your X10
hello i just bought a sony ericsson xperia x10 mini pro (u20i firmware version: 2.1-update 1) last week and I can't use it because everytime I insert my sim and then surfing the internet it gives me extra charge even if I am connected to a wireless network. and when I check the remaining balance it's 0.00 data traffic is turned off. What should I do? I want to know what are the applications that gives me extra charge. Do I have to root my phone first to delete those applications? Please help me I dont know what to do.
Hey all,
I've had my Galaxy S II GT-i9100M for a bit more than two months now. It's been on ICS 4.0.3 since the first day I got it, and is unrooted.
Wifi was working fine the first month or so that I've had it. However, in the last month, while trying to connect to my university's networks from the wifi settings screen, it will display "connecting" for a long time, then change to "saved", without successfully connecting to the network. Odd thing is, if I turn the wifi on and off repeatedly, it may connect eventually, with around a 5-15% success rate each try. However, there's also a relatively high chance it will automatically disconnect itself within a few minutes.
The school has three main wifi networks: one is unsecured, while two are secured with exactly the same authentication methods (PEAP + MSCHAPv2) and takes the same login credentials. All three have the same problem when I try connecting. It's not a problem with signal strength, either, since my friends nearby can connect using their phone or laptop without any problems.
Here's what I've already tried to do to fix this:
Asked the school's IT helpdesk
Forget both secured networks so the phone can autoconnect to the unsecured one
Tried wifi diagnostic tools, such as Wifi Analyzer and Wifi Fixer, and tried changing to a better channel
Deselected "back up my data" in the Back Up and Reset settings screen, deleting existing wifi settings from Google's servers
Connect using a static IP address rather than DHCP. Either it has the same Connecting->Saved issue, or says something about "avoided a poor connection"
Did a factory reset, including wiping all user data
The wifi has no problems connecting to my home wireless network, and to most, though not all, other public networks I've tried (same problem as above if it doesn't work).
On a somewhat different note: there are two networks (each of which I've only connected to once at most) that are permanently saved on the list of access points; there's actually no way to forget/delete the network. They even survived the hard resets, and are listed before I link the phone to my Google account. Could this be related to the main issue above?
Is there a fix for this issue? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Hi everyone, I have a question that i can't quite seem to find an answer to any where i look.
I am a recent android convert, i had ios on my iphone and ipads for many years. I use a wireless hard drive that has its own wifi signal, which i connect my devices to. The problem with doing this is that the device thinks then that it should get all of its internet from that wifi connection, which of course, being a hard drive, it does not have.
To get around this what i have done is go in my IOS configuration and remove the "default gateway" or "router" or whatever you want to call it (depending on your networking background), and then iOS knows to go ahead and not use wifi and continue to send any non local traffic over LTE.
My Samsung Note 5 doesn't seem to want to do this. First thing, when i try to remove the router/gateway from the ip address configuration in wifi, the "save" button is grayed, meaning i cannot save a blank gateway. I located an app on the app store called "wifi settings" which was suggested to use to set the router to nothing, but still this did not work, really what it did was save a 1 in the router/gateway field and caused nothing to work, not even local traffic.
The Note 5 has a "smart network switch" option which is apparently to detect a poor wifi signal and switch to LTE, if i enable this, the phone does realize that the wifi connection to the wifi hdd doesn't have an internet connection, but terminates the wifi connection, thus killing my connection to my hard drive.
My question, does anyone know how to configure the wifi on android to access local resources via wifi while still using the 3g/4g connection for internet traffic?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks much.
I have been trying all morning to get my new Zenwatch 2 to connect to my work WIFI. My office has two wireless connections, one for employees and one for guests. I have "Automatic" on in WIFI settings but the only connection it will show is the "guest" connection. Under saved networks, it showed four saved networks but none of them are my work network. I tried deleting a couple that I do not use thinking there may be a maximum number of saved networks allowed on the watch. Still does not show. I wonder if I may be having the same problem as @gumbyx84. Anyone have any suggestions? I started to post this question in his thread but I do not think it has anything to do with the wifi band.
Just to be sure, is the network you're trying to connect to saved on your phone? AFAIK, your watch just picks up the saved networks on your phone and uses that data to connect. I never entered any network data on my watch and it connected automatically.
Hey, so recently I was having WiFi connectivity issues at my university; I would be able to connect to WiFi on my phone but would have no internet connection. After a variety of attempted fixes I decided the only way I could fix anything (since I can't directly fiddle with the router here) would be a factory reset of the phone. I'm able to do that without any problems up to the point where I'm asked to "Set Internet connection" where I'm presented with a number of WiFis to connect to. I tried to connect to the university WiFi but it's having the same problem as before: it connects but no internet. Okay, at this point I just hit "Next" to get to the next screen just so I can finish setting up the phone, and I'm given a dialog box which reads:
"No Internet
Your phone is not connected to the Internet. Software updates and device protection features will be unavailable until you connect to the Internet.
(Don't Skip) (Skip Anyway)"
No big deal, I just hit Skip Anyway.... the problem is, it doesn't "Skip" anything... it just takes me back to the "Set Internet connection" screen and I can't progress any further, so basically my phone is stuck in limbo, not able to finish setting up for some reason. I've also gone elsewhere and tried connecting to other WiFis that work, as well as trying to hotspot from my PC, and the phone gets hung up on "Obtaining IP address....", thus leading to the same Skip Anyway issue as before.
REALLY need some help as soon as possible, thanks in advance.
