Losing wifi passwords

[dogan2010]

Hi guys

i have noticed after the update to kitkat
My saved wifi passwords are reseting for a reason
Does anyone has this problem too?

Yes I have it to every time I reboot phone I must put my password again! Look in build prop for this line: ro.securestorage.support=true and make from true in false
Then save! And reboot phone! After reboot it can be that you must put once more your password and then it is good! Let me know if it is working ok?

*muses* Did I not already answer this question on the T-Mobile Forums? Don't suppose you go by "FrancineB" there?

Did you disable Auto Network Switch?

Don't suppose it has something to do with the firmware version? Mine remembers the WiFi passwords without issue... Even after the 50th reboot.

I have the same with my non rooted Note 3 Android 4,4,2.

I lose all my stored wifi settings/ paswords randomly .
I think it is after rebooting, but I only notice it when I am going to another place with a different WIFI router, checking if I am on line. There I see all the stored wifi connections are lost.

Can be weeks without loosing them . It happened three times now in a period of four months or so.

I have many wifi addresses stored on my ( super duper) Note 3.

After weeks without problems today I lost all my WiFi passwords again.

What happened was that I was in a Skype voice call that hung.the only thing I could do was reboot.
First I was happy the Wi-Fi settings where still there but next morning they all were gone.


I guess android synched wrong?

Normally when I reboot no passwords are lost.

Also possible on a non rooted note 3?

Would be of a great help, but just cannot find that file. even with hidden files enabled.

Idk if it works on non rooted phones - use root explorer for this (you might have read rights)

Hi guys!

I have the same problem with my Note 3, International version SM-N9005, updated with 4.4.2. The phone is fully sock, no root no nothing...

Sometimes my phone lost all my saved wi-fi passwords, it happened yesterday, happened again today, i didn´t reboot the phone.
This is very anoying and i dont know what to do, its a new device with only 4 months, i really like it a lot but this is driving me crazy..

Any help or solution? Did anybody here with the same issue solved the problem?


Thks in advance!

Same here, once a week all settings gone. 2 colleagues have the same phone (SM-N9005) but they lose them less often. one of them never lost his wifi settings for now.
Is this perhaps related on installed apps that some app is bugging this settings?

 

[coelhooliveirar]

I wonder if there is an update in course to correct these issues. They're getting too much... I am so sad that we can't freely root our devices because Samsung doesn't intend to update Note3 so soon..

 

[hardcore_sac]

Happened again today, yesterday i restore my wifi settings with Kies, and today morning all of them are lost again.... i´m getting really tired of this, i love my phone but this is nuts!!!

Does anyone here have a fix or at least an explanation for this issue? I can´t understand the reason of this issue, the device it´s not rooted, so i don´t think that a app could access and/or modify/delete the wifi data.

 

[ShadowLea]

Perhaps we should look in to comparing firmware, apps and versions?

I'm not experiencing it.

Well, here it is....

It has happened to me as well. Probably around 3 times in the last two months. For me though I've never rebooted my phone when it occurs. I'll have wireless one minute look at phone later and they're all deleted. Quite frustrating.

God damm, i know what are you talking about....

Happened again today, yesterday i restore my wifi settings with Kies, .

Did not even think of this option. So thanks anyway.

using Kies 3 now and seems to work.

Had no more wifi data loss anyway, but can come back any time of course.
