Wrong network selected

[cliffcoggin]

Thanks for your efforts to help me fellows, I truly appreciate it, but the risks involved are too great for my liking. I am bound to make a mistake typing all those characters on the tiny keyboard and screen and screw up my phone, so I think it better if I just accept the occassional irritation of having to force the phone onto the correct network.

@cliffcoggin Just for your info, my android main phone keeps connecting to my weaker slower Wi-Fi network and I cannot stop it!

@mrt10001 How odd. That suggests it is not a UT problem, but may be inherent to some Android phones, yet I have seen no mention of it elsewhere.

@keneda if you liked nano maybe you will also like Shell access via SSH, it's very confortable, I couldn't do without it, look here

[Keneda]

@br1 i liked nano because it's simplier than my previous method to edit system files locally on phone ^^

Sure i'll use shell ssh access one day, i already heard about it, but that'll be in some futur lol.

Thanks anyway

@br1 SSH is a pain on the devices, I usually get a port not available issue, timeouts or access denied.

[Br1]

@mrt10001 SSH works very well, you have to put the service in autostart (*) and set the static ip for your device on your wifi ... otherwise - every time - you have to check service status, if necessary start it manually (sudo service ssh start - or - sudo android-gadget- service enable ssh) and check the ip of your device (with hostname -I)

(*) when the phone restarts SSH is not running

[MrT10001]

@br1 The router keeps the IP static, it's generally the annoying port issue, which when I try and open, remains in an unusable state!

[Br1]

@mrt10001 I did not understand if it sometimes works or it never worked ... however we have got a bit OT, maybe it is appropriate to open a new topic

[MrT10001]

@br1 You are right. I will do when I need help with it. I rarely SSH into the devices anyway.
