Windows 8 phones automatically connect to wi-fi

This may be old news, but I didn't see a similar thread ...

There's a sort of known issue with WP7/8 that the minute phone is locked that the WiFi connection is terminated. So any data requests when the phone is locked goes over 3G/LTE even though there is an available WiFi connection. This was done to conserve the battery but according to Joe Belfiore this will be fixed soon, http://wmpoweruser.com/joe-belfiore-wifi-sleep-issue-in-windows-phone-will-be-fixed/

Lumia 620 & Windows Phone App Connection Problems

I've been having problems with a Lumia 620 connecting to the Windows Phone App on my Windows 8 laptop. The App keeps reporting that the phone has a problem and is not playing nicely. I've eliminated the laptop as the issue as my Lumia 920 connects without a hitch. I'm guessing the issue is with the Lumia 620's software as it was recently updated in the past two months. Any solutions out there apart from resetting the phone?

you could try to uninstall the windowsphone app from your laptop and reinstall it to see if maybe it wasn't connecting and loading the drivers correctly.

Bt Infinity - Mobile phone automatic connect

Hi, I have recently had infinity installed, I have put the access code into my mobiles and they connect. However when I leave the house and return they no longer automatically connect - I have to search for the wireless router and then say connect - I do not need to put in the access code again. I just want it to be automatic like it was before walk into the house router connected! I am using a Blackberry 9900 bold. Blackeberry 9680 and an iPhone 4
Note Laptop computers automatically connect no problem.
Help appreciated
Thanks Gavin

Hihi,
Gavin,
Have you tried a router and mobile restart? If that fails maybe do a network reset on one of the mobile devices and re-enter the details. See if that works. If so re-enter on other mobiles. Please make sure you know all the passwords of your networks if you have many stored :-)
hongkongandy, can you restart your router and iPhone. If no good, could you try and forget the BT Fon network (under the wifi settings on the iPhone) and turn the wifi off and on, see if it connects to your correct wifi station. Maybe take a walk to test it :-) If that fails forget that wifi and re-enter the details. Turn wifi on and off see if it connects.
Good luck,
Shaun

Why is my phone automatically connecting with my computer( txt msg, notifications, etc.)???

like i said

If by continuity you mean handoff or other functions like that ,then i think i have all that stuff turned off and I'm still getting notifications and txt on my computer.Furthermore, if the user has to go into all kinds of sub menus to turn off an annoyance, then this just adds another reason apple products can be very annoying. there should be one submenu to control connectivity and also the ability to turn it off all together if one wants to. Is there an actual connectivity menu I'm not seeing somewhere? iPhone 6 8.1 / Mac pro running yosemite

How can I make my harrier automatically connect to my home wifi?

Hi, I got an EE Harrier about 3 weeks ago for the wifi calling (confirmed by the EE shop staff....) only to discover that it's not actually available yet - oh well. My question is how can I get the phone to pick up my home wifi automatically? Obviously as I leave the house it loses the wifi but I have to manually connect it every time when I come back in. i know on other Android phones there's a 'Smart Network Switch' but the Harrier doesn't seem to have that, or if it does it's well hidden. Can anyone help please? TIA

Hi Glossopian, did you find a remedy to this? I just renewed my contract and upgraded my phone to the harrier. Like you my last phone automatically connected to any wi fi I had already entered a password into including home, holiday accomodation, pubs etc. Now I have to manually tell it to connect every time I go out into the garden and come back into the house. Very frustrating!

Bluetooth automatically connecting when not in use

My car has bluetooth and is set up that when you are connected to an ipod, it will play through the port in the car unless bluetooth is connecte. Bluetooth will override the MDI port. The phone has no problems connecting, but everytime I receive a text, or notification, my phone automatically connects to my car and cuts off whatever I am listening to. This used to happen only when I chose a song, which is what it is supposed to do. Any idea why receiving a text or notificiation would activate my phone into connecting to the bluetooth? I've tried a soft reset and don't have too many other ideas. Thank you

Hi,
Depending on which headset you are using the headset may disconnect to a kind of standby mode. The headset will auto connect to your phone when you are placing or receiving a call. Depending on which software you can also force a connection by tapping the call button.

It will automatically connect to I Tune when I plugged in I phone or I pad mini. It didn't work since last month. I went to Apple shop ask for help but a Mr. told me you didn't support the Technic for windows, is that right?

Hi
My problem is I cannot connect my I Phone or I Pad Mini with my I Tune on HP note book. It was automatically connected but didn't work since last month. I went to Apple Store for asking help. A Mr. told me that you didn't provide help for Windows Is that right? How can I connect, Sync, and update my information?

Apple Stores won't directly support issues with your Windows PC, even if the issue is iTunes which you need to configure your iDevice.
For device connectivity issues see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, and TS4062: iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing.

I updated my 4s to IOS 8 and now it won't automatically connect with my Ford SYNC. I have to turn the phone off and then on again for it to connect.

I updated my 4s to IOS 8 and now it won't automatically connect with my Ford SYNC. I have to turn the phone off and then on again for it to connect.
Why is this? My husband's 4s is still on IOS7 and it still connects automatically.

I do not know if this will help.
For a limited time Apple will allow you to downgrade to 7.1.2. Hurry do not wait.

After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home. I have restared the phone and toggled the router, still no connection

After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home (this is the network I used to update the phone). My iPad however does not seem to have any problem connecting. I have restared the phone, toggled the router, re-entered the network password but there's still no connection.

When your device is trying to connect to the work Wi-Fi network, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then tap on the name of the Netowrk that she is having trouble with. Then tap on forget this network. Let the device attempt to connect again and make absolutely sure she is trying to connect to the work network and not a nearby network, then make absolutely sure the password is entered correctly.

I can't make my iphone 4 forget the hpsetup network which keeps showing up at work. My phone won't automatically connect to my company's wireless network.

Settings/General/Reset - Reset network settings will "forget" all WiFi networks so you can select them again.
If the problem with your company network is not solved by doing this, are there multiple sites that have the same network name for the company network? Or is it the default network name for the router type (e.g., DLINK, LINKSYS, etc)? If so, this is what is causing the problem and there is no solution other than convincing IT that it is a bad idea to have duplicate network names.

I have programmed my Iphone to automatically connect to confcalls (dialing the nbr, pausing, dialing the PIN code). Works fine from the Iphone as such. When I connect my Iphone in Bluetooth to my car, only the phone

I have programmed my Iphone to automatically connect to confcalls (dialing the nbr, pausing, dialing the PIN code).
Works fine from the Iphone as such.
When I connect my Iphone in Bluetooth to the voice-driven system in my car (Mercedes C), only the phone number appears to be transmitted. Entering a conference call number via the Iphone while driving is not a good idea.
How can I fix this ?

That *****. I sell electronics on ebay. Before listing them, i have to test and clean them. I have worked with microsoft Zune, you could sync via wireless through the network to your host computer.
i was hoping Apple would add that feature or the ability to connect to my computer via WiFi or Bluetooth and sync it wirelessly... It would be sweet to have the bluetooth and wireless opened up so you can do more than just connect to headphones or a headset...
I upgraded to the iPhone 4 this past december, i am on replacement # 2 or my 3rd iPhone 4... I was hoping for some upgrades in quality. Also being left handed, it seemed to drop many calls and give me very poor reception. i added a Griffin Elan Form Graphie case that covers all but the front, top button, bottom speakers and volume control buttons and the call and reception quality has improved. But I sure would have loved to see some improvements in the quality and function of the phone...
Thanks for your input, i really appreciate your replies...

I would like my phone to ask me if I want to Pair with my car rather than automatically connect. Is there a setting for this?

Connect mac mini to internet via windows phone

hallo, how can i connect Mac mini to internet via my Windows Phone?

You are going to have to buy an external modem. They make ones that plug into the USB. Apple does not make one so you will have to buy a 3rd party modem. I would read the reviews before making the purchase to make sure you buy one that someone has tested with a mac.
