How to Configure an Android Device:

Before Starting, if you already have the eduroam network configured on your device, make sure to "forget" (delete) it from Network Settings.

Select instructions for your version of Android:

• For devices running Android 15 or Newer

• For devices running Android 14

• For devices running Android 7-12

For devices running Android 15 or newer:

Connect your device to UI-Guest or use a cellular data connection to install the geteduroam app from the Google Play Store.

 

Search for "University of Iowa"

 

Select "University of Iowa"

 

If you are using a Samsung device, select "Samsung Workaround". 

For all other device manufacturers, select "Standard".

Then tap the "Connect" button.

 

Enter your your username as "HawkID@uiowa.edu" replacing "HawkID" with your HawkID. Then enter your password for your HawkID.

 

Tap the "Save" button to save the settings.

 

You should now be connected to eduroam.

 

For Android 14, follow these directions:

For EAP method, select PEAP
For Identity, enter your HawkID followed by @uiowa.edu (jehawk@uiowa.edu, for example)
For Password, enter your HawkID password

For most Android OS Devices version 7-12, follow these directions

For EAP method, select PEAP
For Phase 2 authentication, select MSCHAPV2
For CA certificate, select Use system certificates
For Domain, enter uiowa.edu
For Identity, enter your HawkID followed by @uiowa.edu (jehawk@uiowa.edu, for example)
For Anonymous Identity, leave the field blank
For Password, enter your HawkID password
Click Connect

Note: Several Android users have reported issues with the device not reconnecting to the UI Wireless network automatically after the display screen times out and goes dark on the device. Simply turning off the Wi-Fi and turning it back on resolves the problem. There are several Motorola forum discussions ongoing with similar issues on enterprise-level secure wireless networks. At this time there is not a resolution for this issue.

*Previous versions of the Android operating system on other smartphones may offer slightly different options or may not see the eduroam network, even when in an eduroam hot spot. Some users have had success connecting Android OS phones by adding a Wi-Fi network with the Network SSID set to eduroam and selecting WPA-EAP initially for security, and changing the EAP method from PEAP to TTLS.
