Possible on a rooted 4.2.2 Jellybean Droid Mini to disable all connection to network extenders?
My phone periodically connects to a neighbor's extender and it's actually worse than the normal crappy connection I get from the house.
I'm hoping there is a database setting or some config I can tweak to disable that. I can't believe that they would design these things so that I have no control whatsoever in regards to how my phone connects to the network. This seems like a major security issue to me.

Hi guys,
I am having a problem with my Xperia X10i running R2BA026 build number and I wanted to know if any of you found a solution for Wi-Fi problem
I live in low signal area for T-mobile network. I connect my phone to Wi-Fi and it connect fine and I can use internet no problem. When I lose my signal to T-mobile network my Wi-Fi drops and then it reconnects when I have no signal but when my signal comes back then it disconnects again.
I tried couple of things such as changing Wi-Fi sleep policy to never, also I changed my network mode to GSM only, and also I entered static IP address for my phone and also changed settings on my ADSL router to remember my Xperia's mac address.
Is there any other way to resolve this issue without going back to older firmware?
Yes - it's a bug in the 026 build.. hopefully will be fixed in a couple of weeks when 2.1 lands..
Thanks. I really hope it does. Its such a hard bug for users, I mean you can be in middle of chat session and it disconnects then you have to restart the application.
I hope that comes out when they told us it would.End of September is close.
Apart from that phone is pretty good.
Hi I am using a WIFi VDSL router and 1 range extender setup in my apartment.
The problem is:
all my Android devices (all on JB 4.1+) keep on switching from router to RE all the time and practically you cannot use internet on them (especially streaming stuff like YouTube etc.). They just can't stick to one device even in a room where router or RE has full coverage and other signal is very week.
Windows devices do not seem to be affected by this problem that much.
I tried using "best WiFi" app but it did no good, my semi educated guess is: it's problem with protocol implementation on Android?
But can anything be done about it? Any of you had same problems and resolved them?
Hello users,
I'm wondering if there is a way to use the 4G connection with the wifi in the same time ?
almost like what samsung do with the "booster" option so that the WIFI can get "help" by 4G speed.
Thanks in advance.
Actually the method samsung use is similar to wifi+ on huawei phones. It is not boosting but it switches between wifi and 4g connection depending on condition like connection status, internet availability and speed. As far as i know it prioritize wifi connection but there is a danger of eating up your mobile data quota if your wifi connection is not good.
I am sorry if you are refering to download booster on samsung device. That is a true dual connection. If i remember correctly you can use an app called speedify to get that option or something called super download booster which require root.
So, I got my S9+ (international version, DUOS, 256 GB) last week from the Samsung store. I am on stock ROM (and will stay as long as my warranty lasts or someone finds a way to root with Knox 0x0, which I am not expecting).
At home, I have a WLAN Mesh (AVM Fritz!Box 6590 Cable, 2x AVM Fritz! 1750E Repeater on a wired connection), everything working great with any device.
Except my S9+. It connects and everything is fine, at some point - especially when using it for e.g. streaming Netflix or so - it will stay connected to the WLAN but will say "no internet access". Switching WLAN on and off fixes the issue until it happens the next time (minutes to hours later). I have no special settings, no neighbouring networks which would interfere. I have 2,4 and 5 GHz active and automatic channel selection. All other devices in my home work with no problems. I have found similar issues froim users on other Samsung phones (S6/7/8 series (my former S5 on Resurrection Remix Oreo does not show t his behaviour)), but no answers that worked (like forget the network, reboot and reenter credentials).
Quite annoying, anyone knows a fix? Big THANKS in advance.
No one experiencing the same thing or havin any ideas?
I have had the same issue in the beginning with the phone. I have a router with a cisco switch connected to it. The standard router's wifi wasn't sufficient in coverage through my house. I got hold of a cisco AP and connected it to the switch and disabled the wifi on the router. That's when my issue started. Fiddled around trying various options, but the one that worked for me was to tell the phone to forget my network, restart the phone and then "setup" the wifi on the phone again(password for wifi needed to be entered as it sees the network as a new one) Haven't had the issue after that. I did notice at my office that even though the wifi conection is good, that if it goes below a certain percentage, the mobile data will kick in, although I have that option switched off. I also picked up that if your line connection's speed goes very low for whatever reason, the same problem appears again that the phone assumes there is no internet
Thanks, this is what I've read from other threads (with S7, S8), too. But this didn't work for me. My repeaters get ther signal through LAN cable and I have a fast connection, coverage all over my house and garden. I really do not have an idea on what to try...
Galaxy S10+, latest Android update from my carrier.
While hooked to any Wi-Fi that doesn't serve internet (my camper accessories, for example, are controlled by the wifi, but serves no internet connection), it allows very little data to function until I shut the wifi back off or end the connection to the camper.
I have my settings set up to keep mobile data active and also have aggressive wifi/mobile data handoff enabled.
Does anyone have a fix or any suggestions? It's really frustrating as I a few other devices that require a wifi connection to control but don't serve internet access.
Thanks in advance!
