Hi

After using Settings / Reset / Restore settings, I lost all of my known wifi networks (not surprising).

Connecting to a wifi network works fine, and I can set the new wifi network as 'Automatically used' and it remains connected.

If I leave the range of the wifi connection, my N9 automatically connects to my mobile network connection.

However, when I return to this wifi network, my N9 automatically connects to the wifi network briefly, then disconnects and connects to my mobile network connection.

If I check the properties of the wifi connection, I can see it is now set to 'Manually used'.

Before doing 'Restore settings' my wifi connections would remain 'Automatically used'.

Any ideas, please?

Update 2016-01-18: connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com is back online since 2016-01-04. If you are still experiencing the problem, delete the wific connection and create it again.

Update 2016-06-07: connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com is offline again.

Solution, add the following line to /etc/hosts:

Code:

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

See this post for more info.

Does really the setting revert to 'manually used'?

I guess I have the same/similar issue since a few weeks only.
I disconnected from WiFi on purpose, hereby setting this connection to manually used. Of course I set it back to automatic.
But since then it blinks as if connecting but then stays disconnected (I did it already a few times earlier). So no idea why I have this behaviour now.

To get connected I open mail and update. This makes the N9 connect and stay connected (as I also have a SIP account in background).

So any input greatly welcomed.

Same thing happens. To keep connected i first connect to WiFi and later set it to connect automatically. It stays there as long as i am in range i guess.

i had done this a while back, but i found it back in manual networks now when i went out of range maybe. Also if i turn off internet, it becomes manually used.

Not sure whether this problem related to Microsoft server being currently down which is currently affecting Symbian Belle devices; see explanation by abi99(2) in third post, although do not know whether Harmattan does similar poll on server.http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/m...3-9c5bf32c8214

Yes.

It worked perfectly for 3.5 years, but after using Settings / Reset / Restore settings, it is now broken.

Here is an excerpt from /var/log/syslog where I think things are going wrong:

Code:

I think the three lines containing mc-await-disconnect are relevant.

Yes, this seems to be related.

I can see my N9 trying to connect to 191.238.96.69 shortly before it disconnects the wifi and switches to the mobile network connection.

Thanks for your replies. I see that this work for FP2 too. The method is actually very simple. If anybody wants to start own "Nokia WLAN Connectivity Test server":

1. You need web server with dedicated public IP and access to default page. (shared hosting with many-sites-on-one-IP will not work because the query goes to IP, without reference to host-name, and so has to be worked out by 'default site')
2. Place the following PHP code (or rewrite it in other server-side language) in your index file:
Code:
$headers = apache_request_headers();

if(isset($headers['X-Nokia-WLAN-Connectivity-Test']))
{
    header('X-Nokia-WLAN-Connectivity-Test', 'true');
    exit();
}
3. Change hosts file on your device (C:\Private\10000882\hosts for S^3) like
Code:
_YOUR_SERVER_IP_    connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com
4. You're done!

Hmm, maybe.

But I remember this server has been shut down months ago. Right? Or not?
So I did not think of that one at all.

As, if so it should affect mobile network connection, too?

And iirc that server connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com was used for detecting a free internert connection orbif you are behind a proxy needing login (but I may be wrong here).
