Someone on that forum set up a server.
Obviously, needs to be carefull trusting just anybody. But, as a test, if that trick solves the issue. You could add

151.248.114.158 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

To /etc/hosts

I tried that, and when establishing a wifi connection, the web browser opens up http://connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com, as if I was using a wifi connection with a landing page. The wifi connection still gets changed from Automatically used to Manually used.

If the server was working as described, I would expect the following to work, but it doesn't:

Code:

wget --spider --server-response --header='X-Nokia-WLAN-Connectivity-Test: true' http://connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com/

On my side it may have nothimg to do with connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com.

I happened to change also my account online states with Profilematic.
And set all to offline when outside my WLAN. They will be set back online when WLAN detected. But on scanning all accounts are still offline.
So I get that message in syslog

nect[7593]: GLIB DEBUG default - No online accounts require ip routing, exiting

and after setting my accounts to online and exiting flight mode it works!?
It also works when updating mail accounts manually.

What is strange is that I expect my WLAN connection to start automatically on automatic (scheduled) update of mails. But that seems not to happen!

I set up a local apache2/php5 web server with the following in /var/www/html/index.php:

Code:

<?php
$headers = apache_request_headers();

if(isset($headers['X-Nokia-WLAN-Connectivity-Test']))
{
    header('X-Nokia-WLAN-Connectivity-Test: true');
    exit();
}
?>

I made a slight change to the header() call.

After adding connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com to /etc/hosts on my N9, I could see the 'X-Nokia-WLAN-Connectivity-Test: true' header in the server's response to the wget command. However, the web browser still pops up http://connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and changes the connection to Manually used when connecting.

I do not expect that to influence our prob.
But what I really do not get: does your connection really reset itself back to manually used? That would not only be strange but ghostery. (please.forgive.me.in.advance - as I do not expect you to do so: do you press save before leaving that setting page? It is not sfos

)

Wlan connection reverting to manual is happening to me too, on used N9 bought a couple of days ago (initially I thought a damaged wlan antenna would cause disconnections, then I saw this thread).

Anyway at the moment this is my configuration:
- PR1.3 (I think stock one)
- no sim card, so wlan disconnection stops internet connection
- I'm connecting to hidden wlan: maybe I should try to let router visible
- it seems N9 gets lower signal on hidden wlan than other devices do: after loosing connection I search for available wlans and the hidden one comes up after a bit, showing lower signal

Yes, really.

Yes, definitely pressing save on the 'Edit WLAN' page.
I have also tried the alternative method of pressing and holding on the connection on the 'Edit networks' page and selecting 'Use automatically' from the menu that pops up.

I ran 'strings' on /usr/sbin/icd2 and found some of interest:

Code:

IAP is not temporary and browser login is not needed
http_check_host
Proxy in use, skipping check
http://connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com
http_check_url
Checking connection to %s
X-Nokia-WLAN-Connectivity-Test: true
Changing connection to manual
HTTP response code from %s: %ld
No browser check is needed for new IAP
Setting mode to no needed for an old connection
Setting browser login on
login_needed
Sending browser request to %s
open_browser

I also found icd2 has some additional logging options:

Code:

%s - Internet Connectivity daemon 2 version 0.213.4+0m8
Usage: %s [OPTION]...
Options:
-h, --help		Display this help and exit
-V, --version		Output version information and exit
-d, --daemon		Send process to the background
-l, --loglevel		Set logging level (0 (debug) gives all logs, 1 (info) is default)

I will try running with debug level logging and see what it reports.

Article on AllAboutSymbian is from December 13:

If you've seen the odd error message recently on a Symbian smartphone, at least when using it on Wi-fi, it's because Nokia's longstanding connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com server is now offline, the latest in a long line of Symbian support resources to disappear under Microsoft's ownership of Nokia's Devices division. All a bit disappointing, but what can you do when there's 0.0% enthusiasm for keeping the OS going at Microsoft and very little legal imperative to do so? The good news is that Wifi connectivity does work on the whole still, albeit without automatic connection.

I checked my backup history on my N9 and I did 'Restore settings' on December 13.

Below is an excerpt from /var/log/syslog with icd2 started with verbose logging:

Just after this, icd2 brought the wifi connection down and brought the mobile connection up.

This is with connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com pointing at my local web server.
Maybe I just need to return the correct HTTP response code?
