I've looked all over the place, but there does not appear to be a method to "Forget" a Wi-Fi connection unless you are in range of the Access Point. Does anyone know where the S6 stores all the saved Wi-Fi connection profiles? They do not appear under Settings -> Wi-Fi, that only shows you the ones that are currently in range, not your previously saved profiles.
I'm asking because I'd like to delete all the unsecured APs I've connected to in the past, due to the recent kepboard security bug announcement. I don't want to accidentally go in range of a stored unsecured network and put my phone at further risk.
I'm answering my own question. I had to go out and download a 3rd party Wi-Fi manager app in order to display the saved out-of-range networks. Why this functionality is not built into the stock OS is beyond my wisdom.
Not sure why it doesn't work on yours, but on my S6 Edge (Verizon) I can go into settings, wifi, more, manage networks, and then long-press any entry and select "forget".
Same problem here, on unlocked and fully updated S6. There's no "manage networks" available in the Settings->Wi-Fi->More menu. Had to use 3rd party app to forget the networks...

Better to just get used to it, or go with a different manufacturer, the direction Samsung has been going the last couple years screams iPhone. Just look at how they built the s6, s6 edge. It's only a matter of time before everything they make will be running tizen.

Just my opinion but I think the S6 is the best Galaxy they've made, both hardware and software. Very few issues with my S6 apart from this wifi network management.
I just wish they would release a Gear S2 running Android Wear instead of Tizen...
I downloaded the WiFi Manager app and when I try to delete an old Wifi network, my S6 gives me an error message that says that WiFi networks can only be deleted from the app they were created in, which means it can only be deleted in Samsung's own WiFi Settings screen
The WiFi Manager third party app has an option to list Known Networks. Touching one brings up the option to forget it.
Unfortunately all you get under Nougat is a message that Android 6 only allows changes by the app that created the entry.
If the network is within range you can go to Settings / Connections / WiFi, touch a memorized network, and options come up including "Forget." But only if it's within range.
To forget "linksys", which my S7 insists on connecting to wherever it finds one, I took an old wifi router, configured it with the SSID "linksys", and was then able to see and forget it in Settings / Connections / WiFi.
It shouldn't be this hard.
?
This is the Method: Suppose you want to forget wifi network (test) Create a hotspot of another phone named (test) Security type>Wpa2 Passwork:12345678 Now turn on your s6 wifi Click forget enjoy

Tablets powered with Android 4 supports a large number of 3G modems:
Huawei E156G
Huawei E173
Huawei E220
Huawei E1750
ZTE MF637U
These are modems that are tested. Other modems might work as well.
To setup your modem follow the instructions below:
Go to settings (press the status bar in the low right corner) and press <More...> and you will see the following:

}
Select <Mobile networks> and you will get this screen:
Select <Access Point Names>. when you come to the Access Point Page you click in the top right corner and select <New APN>.
This is the tricky part where you fill in the GSM operators settings. You can find settings for the most popular networks here. If your operator is not included you will have to ask the operator. The screenshot below shows the settings for Safaricom, Kenya:
When all settings are filled in press the arrow in the lower left corner and you are done.

Care to elaborate a bit? I tried and did not have much success, did you? If so can you please post some pictures of it working?

also showing tethering & portable hotspot =/
Sorry 2all
Sorry to all this will not work. I take that manual from other site. It say Andtoid 4 3G Setup (original link in #1 post). I test it my self. No success.
Than i unpakced firmware to find out files like (gprs, pppd-ril.options, usb_wwan.ko, etc), some of them presents in firmware, others dissmised.
So the only way getting 3G via dongle, is custom firmware.

Well if u have to use 3g/data connection outside wifi range just use your cellphone as a wifi hotspot. Most people carry a cell and most of todays phones can do this

thanks, i know how to go to web via phone by changing wpa_suplicant2 file. But i want to connect via dongle.
I dont know how real this is, I have rooted my TF201 and no where do I see the mobile network on a stock rom, I have it on my phone yet I dont have it here, and also there would have to be drivers for the USB modem to be entered, this isnt a simple task, the only one i have found is in the UMTS app from the market, and even then this doesnt work, I just want a USB modem installed, I dont want to use my phone as the WIFI defeats the purpose of having a USB modem, surely someone has done this on a stock rom
Miz Z2 MTK6589 Quad core 1.2Ghz CPU Android Phone 5.0 inch Screen(1280*720 HD IPS) 1GB RAM 8GB ROM 12MP Camera
Since I bought this new MIZ Z2, I am not able to connecto any wifi signal
I have to say phone is great except the wifi problem it is causing me too much trouble.
WIFI shows connected, wifi bars signal remains 'gray color'. not 'blue bars'. so I can not connect to internet through my wifi, although it shows it is connected. but i am not able to.
I have tried resetting the phone, restarting the phone and router, but no use. tried on four different wifi spots(my college, my friend's house), at no place it ever connected to WIFI. Infact it shows "IPv4 address: unavailable". it is running Android 4.2.2, there is no option for ''Static IP address" or IPv6 address. some time it shows message : "navbar err x 01" and then I found somewhere about the replacing WiFI and CUSTOM WIFI files in data/navram folder. I restarted the phone after replacing files, but still no luck
I have tried searching the internet, and tried various tricks mentioned there, but none of them worked.
I have done the following.
1) Turning ON OFF phone and router-- no good
2) resetting the phone to factory settings --no good
3) clearing the cache in apps >> google service framework >> clear cache >> stop >> and restarting the phone --- no good
4)changing the broadcasting channel at my router, disabling wpa keys and tried to connect to open wifi networks-----no good
5) replacing WIFI and CUSTOM WIFI files
So far, I have found no solution. can anyone out there guide me in right direction..
Many thanks in advance

turn on your data connection, set your APN and restart!
I got it working finally.
Below is what worked for me, it may or may not work for others having same issue:
1) Settings >> Sim Management >>> Data Connection ::: select your favorite sim having activated data plan.
2) no go back to Settings menu again and tap on 'More'>> Mobile Networks...Make sure Data Connection is ON. select 3G service on with your favorite sim.
3) Go to Access Point Names. Select your sim with data plan, Tap on it and it ll open new screen and now tap on the left side of menu button on your phone and click "New APN" .
4) here pls enter the details such APN name(anything), APN, username and password (if you dnt know these three i.e. APN, username and password, you may have to ask you mobile network provider)
5)press the square buttons again and tap "save" and exit the setting menu
now go back all the way and try to connect WIFI again. It still did not work for me so, At this point I restarted my phone and when my phone was turned back on WIFI bars were blue and I was able to log into playstore.
[optional]: I turned off my data connection after wifi was fixed and since then wifi did not drop a connection nor shown anymore "gray signal bars"
So internet is working fine now
PS: please do note that I did replace my WIFI and CUSTOM WIFI files earlier, but it did not make any difference at that time. So not sure, this made any difference or not. but try above at your own risk!
I recently bought a Huawei G700. It's a fairly new and uncommon device. It runs Android 4.2.1 in combination with Huawei's own Emotion UI
When I have WiFi enabled and for some reason my Wifi disconnects (for example I go out of reach), my phone keeps asking me, each and every time, if it's allowed to use Mobile Data. if I don't answer, my mobile data does not connect thus I can't recieve any mails etc which is highly annoying.
This is the exact error/popup message that I get:
Data connection change
WLAN is unavailable, try to connect to mobile network?
I've googled this exact phrase, but I get 0 results.
How can I prevent my phone from asking if it's allowed to use mobile data?

It seems that this behavior is present in all recent Chinese ROMs from Huawei and there is no way to disable it. However, I found a workaround for it; The message only popsup if you have WiFi and Data Enabled and you lose WiFi connectivity. Then your phone will ask if it's allowed to switch from WiFi to Data. So, if you make sure WiFi is disabled before switching to Data, it will not ask this question. To do so manually, takes a lot of time. Luckily there is an app that can automate this task for you. Here's how:
Install the app 'Llama' from the Market (Free) and create these two events:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The 1 second delay is necessary, else it does not work properly.
What it does: Switch off WiFi as soon WiFi disconnects from your WiFi network and then enables Data. This way, it does not show the popup and 'automatically' switch to Data. Don't forget to manually enable WiFi again if you are in reach again of your WiFi network.
If you want Llama to automatically turn back WiFi on as soon you get home/in reach of your WiFi, you have to let it learn your location. Read the help/documentention on how to do so. It's pretty easy to do
This 'fix' works for me 9 out 10 times. Give it a try, I hope it helps you.
Kind regards.

What happens if you use Gravity box and pop up notification blocker?
Question is as exactly as it is in the title; how does Android come to the conclusion that it has complete internet connectivity (or connection to google services), and consequently will turn the signal bars blue (on stock android devices).
I am trying to fix a problem at work where if I put my phone on the company wifi, my phone never seems to think it has internet connectivity, even though I do. The consequence is most apps don't attempt to pull new data, and therefor never notify me of new messages. This includes gmail, google voice, and hangouts.
I don't have direct control of the network infrastructure at the moment, so right now it is easier to know what address or IP it tries to get to, and how (ping?), so it can be unblocked by the firewall or web filter.

check your settings>wireless & Networks> WIFI>check Network notification this will inform you when there are other open wifi networks present > you need to connect to that network with password or scroll down to add WIFI network (you can add any network when you know its SSID and security used.
if you unchecked network notifications, you will " NOT" know or use of any new networks other than what you have used before.

I'm not having any issues finding or connecting to wifi, the problem is at my buisness when on wifi, android does not detect an internet connection; so it thinks I just have local network access, so most apps do not auto refresh in the background.
Hi all. I have a new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV s-edition 2017, who got app control through wifi spot from car. However, the wifi range is horrible, so I was wondering if you guys know of any phone that can be connected to both wifi net (without internet) and same time connected to internet through cellular data (3g or 4g)
What I want:
Have a phone in car, connected to the cars wifi net (no internet) and through perhaps an app like airdroid, connect to that phone, and that way connect to the car through internet.
I have tried this with honor 7, but this so called smart phone, either is on wifi with no internet, or cellular data with internet. It will not work on both nets at same time.
Is the any android phone this would work on, or is there any workaround/hack to make this work. Surely, this has to be possible?
-Thanx, Ray

If your android running on marshmallow then there is a option in developer setting of cellular data always active. Turn that feature on and connect to mobile data and wifi simultaneously.
Ashwinirg answered the question, but I want to throw in that there are services, like Speedify, which claim some sort of "channel bonding" that merge your WiFi with your data connection to enhance your speed. I have no idea if Speedify or similar services actually work, but if you're interesting in enabling wifi + cellular data together, you might want to look into those services also.

Don't know if it is available in android nougat but it may be it available on marshmallow then it also available in Nougat..
Update:
So I bought myself a Lenovo p2, cause of its bigger battery, but it seems like it's not able to go between cellular data and wifi seamlessly like honor 7 did. It got the same options in developer mode, but it's not working.

Certain apps work if set right. It's kind of like downloading a torrent. Multiple connections work together to transfer the same file resulting in much faster speeds.
