Few Tips to Get Connectivity of Wi-Fi in Android Phones

Most of the time, connecting to Wi-Fi using an 
Android device is quite easy. It is a simple two- 
step process, which is easy to understand. 
However, this is not always the case. At times, 
your phone may not connect to a Wi-Fi network 
despite following each step correctly. In such a 
case, these few tips will prove quite useful. 
Switch it off 
This is the simplest method to get your phone 
connected to Wi-Fi. Switch off the phone and 
then remove the battery. After about thirty 
seconds, insert the battery again and switch on 
your phone. 
Switch off the Wireless Connection 
At times, you will find that your phone is using 
an IP address that only works with a previous 
wireless connection. In such a case, you should 
ensure that your network registers the new 
address by switching it off and on again. 
1. Press the Menu button. 
2. Go to settings 
3. Go to Wireless and Network 
4. Press the Wi-Fi settings buttons in Wireless 
and Network 
5. Uncheck Wi-Fi and it will be switched off 
6. Wait for a few seconds and switch it on 
Delete the Wi-Fi Network 
At times, you may need to add the Wi-Fi Network 
again in order to make it work. To forget a Wi-Fi 
network, your Android device cannot be within 
the range of the network. Move far away from the 
network and do this: 
1. Press the network you want to remove and 
hold down the button 
2. Press the Forget Network button 
3. Go back to the area with your network of 
choice 
4. When prompted for a password, dial it and join 
the network 
This will give your phone a new address. As a 
result, it should start working as expected. 
Ensure you have the Right Password 
Most wireless network administrators tend to 
update their password after a while. However, 
your phone cannot update to the new password 
automatically. In such a case, you need to update 
your password on your phone. 
1. Get away from within the range of the Wi-Fi 
network 
2. Press down the button for the network that 
needs editing and hold it down 
3. Press Change Network Settings 
4. Enter the new password as given 
5. Press the Show Password box. This will ensure 
that you have entered the correct password on 
your device. 
6. After you confirm that it is the right one, press 
save. 
In addition, your phone will indicate the kind of 
security the network uses. Ensure that it matches 
with the kind of network used on your network. 
In case it differs, forget the network and start 
over again. 
Advanced Settings 
If the above solutions have not helped you, you 
need to go below the surface to get your device to 
work. You need to access advanced settings. 
1. Press the Menu button on the phone 
2. Proceed to the Settings menu 
3. Press the Wireless and Network icon 
4. Press the Wi-Fi settings button 
5. Press the Menu button once more 
6. Press the Advanced icon 
7. Press the Proxy Settings icon and ensure that 
the device does not use any proxy setup. 
However, if your network requires a proxy, enter 
the details as given by the administrator. 
Otherwise, delete any IP address in Proxy.
In most devices, the Port and Proxy settings are 
blank. However, if your phone fails to connect to 
the network, they are worth checking out. 
Troubleshoot Static IP address 
This will help you understand if the problem may 
lie with your router. At times, it may be unable 
to give out DHCP addresses. At times, it may also 
issue a bad address to the device. 
1. Press Use Static IP 
2. Fill the blank space with the relevant data. 
However, you should be careful when you are 
tweaking the static IP. This address will forthwith 
be used for all Wi-Fi networks. As a result, you 
should only use it if you only use your device on 
a single network. For instance, if you have Wi-Fi 
Thermometer installed, it might not be a good 
idea to use the static IP. 
Check Your Sleep Policy 
If the device still gives you a hard time 
connecting to a wireless network, ensure it is set 
to Never. Although it may damage your battery 
life, it will ensure that your Wi-Fi connection 
does not drop in often. 
These tips should help you deal with the most 
common causes of failed connections. You can 
also try using another network in order to be 
sure the router is functioning normally.

Removable VS Non Removable Mobile Battery, Which Do You Prefer?

Removable VS Non Removable Mobile Battery, Which Do You Prefer?
Phone geeks must have been wondering why suddenly Phone manufacturers switched to non-removable battery. Some of us don’t really like the facts that most smartphones company now produces non removable battery devices. I’ve been privileged to interact with different individual regarding their choice of smartphone and majority of them prefers removable while some don’t really care.
You’ll notice that the use of Universal charger is gradually going out of the market and being replaced with Power banks because most devices now have inbuilt battery. 
Personally, I don’t like devices with inbuilt battery because when it eventually lags you have to wait for the battery to run down before you can restart it (what if your device is like that of Ouikitel K10000 whose battery can last you for 10days without charging, meaning you have to wait for 15days before you restart it?). What if you device fall into water or hot pepper soup, how will you dry it if you can’t remove the battery? That may be the end.
*Removable battery is easy to replace 
*It is easy to Hard Restart 
*Phones with inbuilt battery are slimmer and lighter with unibody design 
Manufacturers don’t want you to tamper with the battery and integral part of the phone that is why they keep producing non removable battery devices. 
Over to you… Tell us your experience with removable and not removable battery smartphones you’ve used before and which do you prefer?
