Xperia X10 :: Can't Connect To WiFi When SSID Broadcast Is Disable
Dec 28, 2010
I have my home network set to "disable SSID Broadcast" which make my network name invisible when a device including my phone scans for wi-fi's; when I enable SSID Broadcast my phone can see the network name and it can connect to it when I input the network password...no problem so far, works perfectly! but when I disable again the SSID Broadcast then the phone gets disconnected. I try to connect to the network with SSID Broadcast disabled (the phone shows a wi-fi location with no name but stored which I assume it's mine) I type the SSID name and password but it won't connect again until the SSID Broadcast is enabled.
For security purposes I like to keep the SSID Broadcast disabled but then I can't connect my phone to the network. I have 2 desktops, 1 laptop, a Xbox and a Wii all connected wirelessly; I don't know why is not working with my phone.
I have just bought an Atrix 4g european version. A great phone, but is there a bug in the operating system ? (2.3.4 was preinstalled) When I try to connect to my home network via wifi and the router is not broadcasting the SSID, the phone cannot connect. When I change the router so the SSID is being broadcast, the phone can connect and has an "excellent" connection. My other mobile phone (HTC diamond 2) and laptop can both connect to the router when it is not broadcasting the SSID, so the router is okay.
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.
add an option on BB messenger to disable or enable receiving Broadcast messages . in my country even my father and grandfather send Broadcast messages without any reason?
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.
I have a problem I cannot conect to 2 wifi spots that have the same ssid it tels me to replace the other one as my router at home and at work are the same I have to delete one which makes me enter the pasword all the time is there no way to change this Also app world doesn't work on my mobile why its a bb smartphone right so why can't I use it?
Is there anyway to disable the feature "App is over 20mb, please connect to wifi" so I can download large apps in 3G? I have 6GB/month and don't care if it is over 20mb!
I'd like to have control over the Emergency Broadcasts that come through my phone. Â Where do I find these settings at? Â I can't find where it is to save my life.

I can't able to connect Internet using WiFi..I connected to an open connection the status of conn. shows signal strength - good, speed - 54 Mbps, I uncheck the data enabled option in mobile networks menu, But still I can't able to connect thru WiFi.
Just a question regarding the wifi. It works fine but when I am at my brothers house and using his wifi it will only connect to the Internet for a few pages or communications via whatsapp etc., then I have to turn off and on the wifi to go again. He had the same problem with his phone which was also a x10 but he has no problem since he got the new Arc. His wifes iphone also works fine.
I've had an experia ray since Sept 2011 and have problems connecting to my wifi at home since. I'm now on my third handset as my phone provider think that will fix the problem.
I've googled this problem and tried the static IP address route which didn't help. I've reset the phone, done a phone repair, removed and re-enabled security on my router. Nothing helps.
The problem seems to be that the phone continually scans for new networks, so it will connect to my wireless, scan for new, disconnect then reconnect constantly. So if I try access anything web based, I maybe have to try 5 or 6 times before I'm lucky enough for it to be trying right at the moment it's connected.

My x8 somehow cant connect to public wifi i.e mc donalds, starbucks etc. but it connects perfectly fine to my router at home..can anyone tell me how i could connect my x8 while i'm using the public wifi ?
I've typed in the correct password for my network, but when I click connect, the wifi status says 'connecting' then 'disconnected'. I have tried using Satic IP and also adding a wifi network, but they don't seem to make a difference!
Today my Z2 decided it will not connect to any WiFi device, have tried five different wifi routers and none connects. Have also reset my phone twice and still the problem is there..
