[Solved] N9 does not connect to wifi automatically
 
Hi All,

I have noticed this thing happening recently on my N9.

My N9 does not connect to any wifi networks automatically when I am in range, it hangs on to the mobile data connection. I have to manually connect it to a wifi network.

I am not able to exactly pin point what triggered this. Please help :( .

Edit: Solved , see below :) :D

I had that problem awhile ago. For me, the only fix was to reset all of my connections. Haven't had any problems since.
Code:

gconftool --recursive-unset /system/http_proxy
gconftool --recursive-unsetdeletes /system/proxy
gconftool --recursive-unset /system/osso

WARNING. This deletes ALL known connections.

Thanks to both of you, I know 2 ways to solve the issue.

II used schturman's method listed in the link, and it fixed it . I did not want to lose all connections.

Based on schturman's post, I believe this issue was triggered when I was playing with the wlan search interval using gconf command, and tried to automate it using ProfileMatic. I guess I should find some other safe way to disable wifi or wifi scan.

Thanks a lot to this awesome community :)

Now back to waiting for my Jolla phone.

Look into ProfileMatic thread, it have info that you need. You can switch on/off internet connection and background connection...

Well, actually I wanted to disable wifi when I am at work, as we dont have wifi at work. I think disabling a radio might save some power.

I see that I need to incept mcetools package to disable wlan. Inception site seems to be down, cant get hold of the deb file :(

If you have n9qt installed, you can install it via tweak EE.
