Motorola Xoom :: Hidden SSID Not Supported In Android Network Stack
Sep 7, 2011
I prefer to hide my wireless SSID but when I do this my android devices don't see the network. Even if I am already connected with my Xoom then switch to hidden SSID mode the Xoom disconnects. Same for my HTC Thunderbolt. My network is shown in the list of remembered networks as out of range. When in hidden mode. This does not affect my laptops.
They stay connected if I switch to hidden mode and they have a setting to connect to hidden networks that have previously been configured. I cannot find a setting for hidden network support on either android device. Hiding the SSID is not a new concept. Is this not supported in the android network stack? I have a strong random PW on my wifi so I am not terribly worried about it but I would be nice to have the option.

Id been looking on the net all morning to try and figure out why i couldn't connect to a hidden SSID. I found that this is still an issue, there are a few workarounds. I tried the hidden SSID from the market and it dosent seem to work, just says that it cant find the SSID. Since I have access to the router, i enabled the SSID to broadcast, then turned it back off after I have connected it. It seemed to pick it up after it had connected to it once. However, im hoping that it wil be the same way in the morning.

provide the ability to create a trigger based upon the presence of a secure network SSID (i.e. not one you are connected connected to )? I need to trigger an action when a secure network, for which I do not have the password, is detected.

If I unmask my WiFi network, I can connect to it with my Droid Razr.
If I turn off broadcasting, I know its still there - I have laptops and an iPhone that still find it an can connect to it. But my new RAZR doesn't seem to know how to locate/connect to it .
What settings do I need to change to get this to work.

I tried to join an open wireless network in a cafe using my 3GS, and I got the message 'Unable to join network' and the SSID of the network. At the time I just though it was a problem with the cafe's network and didn't think about it again.
Info:
iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1

I've got a SkyTex tablet and when I try to install ZumoCast it tells me it's not currently supported on Android, even though it works fine on my Droid Bionic, which is Android. Is there some problem with ZumoCast working on a generic Android device, and is this something that will be fixed?

I just got a Xoom wifi with 4.1.1 as a gift. I have a droid 4 and many mp4 videos that play on it with no problem. My Xoom will not even allow me to transfer the video to it saying the format is not supported. Why can I play these on droid 4 and not on Xoom. Is there a problem with the software in the Xoom?

While there are already a few discussions for note taking apps where OneNote is mentioned, i thought this deserved it's own title. MS finally released a working Android app which syncs with Skydrive and gives you full edit ability of OneNote content. I could not find it on the market but it is available here: [URL]
If that link gets cutout, go to the android market under a web browser and search for onenote. So far, it's working on the Xoom LTE without any issues.

Has anyone else received an OTA to Android 4.1.2 for their Xoom Wifi only? I got the update on Friday but did not receive an invite to a soak test so I believe that this update was an update to all US Xoom WiFi tablets.

My non-US Xoom suddenly won't let me install anything from Android Market.
I selected an app and click install, I saw a notification popped up at the lower right corner showing "Installing" but after a short while,
it showed "Appname installation unsuccessful"
I tried restart my Xoom and clear the market cache but still no luck. Anyone has encountered this problem before and How do you solve it?

I have a brand new Xoom with Android 3.2, but the version of Android Market is only 1.0.28. It does not 'automatically update. I would like to update it so I can add a pin to stop my kids from purchasing things! Which is apparently available in the latest version (3 or so).

I have a 22" TV monitor which by e.g. a USB memory stick loaded with e.g. avi files, can show a film. On my Xoom I can (re)play Swedish TV programs via the Android app SVT Play (https://market.android.com/details?se.svt.svti.android.newstuff.svtplay&feature=search_result#?W251bGwsMSwyLDEsInNlLnN2dC5zdnRpLmFuZHJvaWQubmV3c3R1ZmYuc3Z0cGxheSJd). Is it possible to transfer what I see on my Xoom to my 22" TV monitor. If yes, howto?

I have just updated my xoom to Android 3.2 and installed Flash 11.When I go to Android Market it still does not show me BBC IPlayer - I am guessing that my Market App is not aware of my new found Flash.BTW- I can browse to BBC IPlayer and it works fine.Am I correct in thinking that the Market App has to to be aware of the functionality of the tablet and filters accordingly? Is it possible to uninstall & re-install the Market App - The only options appear to be "Force Stop" & "Clear Data" ; these seem a bit brutal!

I use a Mac (OSX 10.5.8) at work and would like to be able to tranfer some files to my Xoom. I didn't try it until after the ICS update, but whenever I plug in my Xoom, the Android File Transfer program pops up, then crashes. I've tried restarting both the Xoom and my Mac multiple times. Does anybody have any ideas to make it work?
