These instructions are provided as a guideline only. Due to the various versions of the Android OS on different models of mobile devices, your options may not be exactly the same as outlined below. For hands-on assistance configuring your Android phone to connect to the UI Wireless network, stop by the ITS Help Desk with your device.
To connect your Android OS device to the eduroam network:
- In the Settings app, choose Wireless & Networks.
- Select Wi-Fi Settings.
3. Click on the eduroam network. (see information below if this network does not appear)*
4. If presented with a Credentials Manager password prompt, enter your Droid Credentials Manager password. (This is not your HawkID password. If you do not know the Credentials Manager password, clear it by going to Settings > Location and Security > Clear storage, then repeat steps 2-3.)
5. Click in the password field to remove the old password and enter the new one.
6. Click Connect.
Devices with Android version 2.2 may have problems connecting to UI Wireless. This is a known issue with Android, and the solution is to upgrade to Android 2.3. Review instructions to determine the version of Android on your device.
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 a UI Wireless 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.
