When I first set up my H850 I was given the option to set up trusted wifi networks and bluetooth device which would keep the phone unlocked. I want to change those options, but can't find that option in the settings menu. I'm running build v20s-EUR-XX. Can anyone direct me to where that option is?

Hi,
I'm a new Android-User and a new Forum-User. I got a x10 mini pro this week. I'm wondering why my device must be always connected? It has to update my mail-accounts always one time per hour. On other systems this is normal: The internet connection is established when used.
I found this out by google search: There should be this setting: Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Enable always-on mobile data. That is just what I'm looking for. But on my device there isn't such an option.
It's a x10 mini pro from sony ericsson. Newest SE-Firmware-Version (2.0.2.A.0.24 Android 2.1) Why do I don't have this option? Is where another solution for this problem? I don't like to switch data-connection off an on by myself. The device is rooted. Any suggestions for an app that can do that? I've tried JuiceDefender but it doesn't actually do what I want.
thanks for your help.
Always On Data
Huh?
But the applications let you tell it how often to check for updates? There were a few the last time I checked.

Hi, i believe that you refer to "data traffic" option. "data traffic" option enables/disables your phone data traffic, that is, enables/disables you mobile internet.
You can find this option in:
Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Data Traffic
When you disable (uncheck) "Data traffic" you wont be able to use at all mobile internet untill you enable it again.
To help you with fast enable/disable data traffic there is also a stocked widget that allows you to turn on/off data traffic, its called "Data Traffic". To put it on one of home screens, long press on one of the home screens, then meny will pop with bunch of options, select: Widgets > Data traffic. And wola!! You have it on home screen.
That way you dont need to go trough all the longer process on entering settings menu.
Anyway, i dunno why you wanna disable it, it eats very little of internet, and i find it useful bunch of times.
Good morning Thanks for your replies.

I run only few applications like k9 mail. They can do that.

No I don't refer to that option. This widget is already on my screen. But with this I have to enable and disable it manually.
On the big X10 should be the always on option. You can check out this link: <can't post this link, cause' I'm a new user >
I wonder if I can manage to set this in the system files without being able to tick this in the settings.
I would have thought so, but can't find the option anywhere. I rarely connect to networks aside from my own, so don't want to be notified when networks are available.
Is this possible?
I know there's the "notify me when open networks are available", and I have that unchecked, but I still get popups. I assume that means "Open" networks anyway, as in "networks with no password required".

If that doesnt deactivate the popups then something is wrong with your system. Are you using a stock firmware?

Yep, stock.
You could try to perform a factory reset.
Ok, thanks. I'll keep an eye on it and if it keeps happening, I'll get around to doing that

I can't be specific, as my device is absent.
But under wifi there is an option to connect to known wifi locations.
un-tick it
This wont effect your location as GPS and location settings are under a different option.

could be under battery/ power saving? Next to stamina mode?
I know there is a setting for it somewhere
closest i found is under battery but it's to enable wifi in specific locations. not to connect/not connect
Hello,
Best way if you don't want wifi: use the wifi toogle to ON / OFF
If you just to don't be connected auto, I know there is third party apps who do this, but I don't remenber names. Sorry.
Maybe this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060418
Llama?
both of those seem to be enabling/disabling wifi/3g at specific times or locations.
i just want to disable the auto connect facility of wifi without disabling it so it can still detect the SSIDs whether i'm at home or out and about.

ok. so you want wifi enabled, but not to connect. sorry I thought you wanted it to stay disabled.
There is not setting in the Sony rom for that.
Check out Lords post. Llama is what you want.
yeah, nothing showing up in a google either. seems like a security oversight too.
Hmm, Tasker should do this? I have never used it, but people use it to turn their god damn TV and lights on and off (with additional hardware), so I think it should do this simple task(?). I don't know! Maybe someone here has it and can check if they can make a profile that does this.

Numerous HowTos say you must enable wifi to set the OEM Unlocking in the Developer options. Why is that? I have a new Pixel 4a that is supposed to be unlocked. The OEM Unlocking is grayed out, so if I enable Wifi it will magically ungray? I also have a Samsung S9 that does not even show the OEM Unlocking in Developer options. If I enable Wifi will it show up? (the phones are not with me right now or I'd try it) I'm curious as to why enabling Wifi allows for unlocking. Does something get sent out to the manufacturer?
Thanks.
d
i enabled wifi and let the 4a connect to a hotspot I created on my other phone. Now I can OEM unlock, so I guess it is some networking magic?
fwiw, though I still cannot get the OEM Unlock menu option to appear on my S9. I followed the instructions on https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-oem.3899297/ but the option still does not appear in the Developer Options. Maybe the date changing trick doesn't work anymore? I do let it connect to the internet through the same hotspot I used for the 4a so I know the networking works. Maybe Samsung does things differently? Is signing in to a Samsung account required? I added a google account in setup after Factory Resetting but still not seeing the OEM Unlock at all in the menu.
Hey everyone, hope you all are well!
I am having issues with maintaining a Wi-Fi connection with the device. Randomly, I will see that the phone is connected to the AP but has a message "connected to device but no internet" right below the SSID or that anything that needs to pull data becomes extremely slow/doesn't load. No other devices on my network does this and after playing with a few settings on the phone itself I still have no idea why this is happening. This is with a Pixel 6 256 GB model.
Devices that are make up my LAN:
OPNsense 21.7.5 (Gateway, DHCP Server (IPV6 is disabled))
PiHole v5.6 (DNS)
DDWRT v3.0-r47618 (Running on Linksys WRT-1900 ACS V2, this is configured in ROUTER mode, DHCP+DNS+NTP+IPV6 all disabled)
Things that I have tried:
1) Tried disabling Adaptive Connectivity, as well as under the AP there is the Privacy setting to use random MAC, I set it to use device MAC
2) Restarting my LAN devices + made sure they are all up to date
3) Due to phone pulling from old phone during initial setup, I remove all APs that were saved and reconnected manually
4) Trying the Pixel 6 on another AP (Connectivity was stable no issues, AP was a public AP at work)
5) In phone's reset options, there is an option to reset all network settings
6) Full reset of phone through reset option and manually setting phone up instead of copying from old phone.
If anyone else might have any idea as to what I could do or try, hell if there is even a way to capture what is happening, please let me know.
One more thing that I ran into, there are other users out there that have an option under Network Preference "Switch to mobile data automatically". I purchased this phone directly from Google, so it should be unlocked, but I don't see that option under my Network Preference.
Thank you in advance!
wonder why your link speed is so slow with 802.11ac...should be higher than that...

Damn, I didn't even notice that. I have updated my AP settings so lets see if this will stick.
Thank you for pointing that out, I appreciate it!

It's in the Developer options
Small update, I have reconfigured my wireless and am still having issues with the Pixel 6 dropping randomly.
DDWRT settings for the 5 GHz network have been updated, the device has been rebooted. Screenshot of settings in attachment. Also attached are screenshots from the pixel 6.
There is a screenshot with AP info for the 5 GHz, in this screenshot at the bottom you can see both my interfaces and all the connected wireless device. The MAC address with the red is the Pixel 6. The Blue is my OP 6.

Thank you for the reply Wibbly, but I am not seeing the option in Dev Options.
I was looking for the setting that is shown in the screenshot. Although could this only be a Pixel 6 Pro option? I would doubt that but I have no idea.

I have the 6 (non-pro) and it's there. Settings --> Network & internet --> Internet --> Network preferences.

Not sure if this makes a difference, but I got my phone directly from google.
I got my P6 (non pro) from Google and it's there, as described above. I was having a similar issue but found it was related to adaway's non-root VPN, which I ultimately uninstalled.
