Hi, I have got Galaxy S5 it disconnects from WIFI very often. Generally, when my home wifi modem disconnects from service provider for few seconds or minutes and reconnect again, my phone loses WIFI connection every time and do not reconnect automatically. So, first I have to go to phone settings -> wifi -> select network -> click forget, Turn off WIFI switch from the phone, then go to WIFI modem turn it off manually and restart it. Then go back to the phone start wifi, select wifi network -> enter password and then it works. I have another HTC phone which does not lose connection from WIFI modem no matter how many times WIFI modem restarts, my HTC connects with the WIFI automatically. It seems galaxy phones do have this problem. I had earlier GALAXY S3 and it had the same problem. Do you guys have any solution? Thanks

$49.99 on Amazon I bought this after reading some reviews on xda as well as following up my research on Amazon, and after receiving it and using it during a road trip, I'm amazed at what it can do. The basic function of this product is to wirelessly access your flash drives, portable hard drives, and sd cards through its own wifi network (just like you would your home router). Essentially, this is like a portable router too. This is powered by a 3000 mah battery which also can double as a cellphone charger as well. Using this was fairly simple for me. It really did work great right out of the box after installing the app AirStor. I was somewhat hesitant that there might be issues because some people were talking about how the firmware needed upgrading and that they had to do it themselves, but I guess I was lucky and perhaps this issue has been fixed because there were no errors for my device. I can also view my files through its own browser interface by typing in the WifiDisk's IP address 10.10.10.254 which was a great tip from someone who wrote a review on Amazon. The best feature of this device is being able to access all my videos and stream seamlessly on my s3 without having anything physically connected to my phone. For viewing videos alone, it has worked wonders. Other features are: Connect up to 5 devices at the same time. Wireless Connect to your home internet via wizard setup. Backup portable phone charger. Supports Product Specs from Amazon: - Model: RP-WD01 - Wi-Fi Standard: 802.11b/g/n - Wi-Fi Frequency: 2.4 GHZ - SD card support: up to 128 G - USB HDD support: up to 2 TB - USB type: USB 2.0 - Micro-USB type: USB 2.0 - Power Bank Capacity: 3000 mAh - Max Input: 5V / 1.5A - Output: 5V / 1A - Dimension: 4.65" x 3.11" x 0.55" - Weight: 4.23 oz. - Working Temperature: 5-35°C - Storage Temperature: 0-60°C - Certification: CE/FCC Only downside so far to this is that this device does seem to scratch easily, and it's white. Does anyone know of anything else like this on the market other than wifi hard drives? I find this product pretty revolutionary since I haven't seen anything like this on the market. It's really nice that with this I can use different storage types that I already own.

I have a wifi network and I set the wrong password for it. Now, I can't "forget" it. I can only enter the wrong password which then allows me to select "forget" but my phone won't forget it so that I can enter a new password. I try entering the correct password and "connect" doesn't become an option to select until I finish entering the incorrect password. I would appreciate some help with this problem. Thanks.

Hi, I just bought my first Android phone, a LG P710 Optimus L7 II. I love it. Just one problem. For some reason, when i haven't used the phone for a little while, the WiFi disconnects. In Settings> WiFi> Advanced the 'Keep WiFi on during sleep' is set to 'Always'. So i don't understand why it turns itself off. Any help would be fantastic Thanks :)

i am using an android 2.3.6 version in my karbonn A9 phone and whenever i try to connect to my campus wifi i have to change the ip address of the nearest router so as to establish a connection.(ofcourse i have to check "use static ip" for this). Can anyone tell (step by step) the procedure to enable dynamic ip configuration so as to avoid the above mentioned procedure everytime!!

Hi Guys, I am looking in the near future to set up BYOD in our new building. This would require a wireless profile which can be downloaded onto Android devices to import the WPA2-PSK AES SSID settings I have found a program for Apple devices here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1466 I have not managed to find anything similar to this program. Please kindly point me in the right direction. Many thanks, Matt

I have a Samsung Vibrant and want to know if there's a way to permanently disable the WiFi without affecting other phone features. Is there a way to remove the hardware that allows for wifi connection? Any help would be appreciated.
