New version of PadListener doesn't appear to set up Auto Wifi Listener any more. #40

I've gotten the newest version of PadListner and apparently the system no longer captures in Auto Wifi mode. It looks like I can no longer set up the auto listener.

Setting up the manual listener will work, but the Auto listener worked on the last version (and was wicked cool, allowing me to do it in a few button taps). Did anything change?

I'm using a stock Nexus 7. Tested after Reboot as well.

I did not change the listener in the last update.

What happens when using the Auto wifi proxy mode ?

Kinglink commented 9 years ago

The Listener thinks it's started correctly ( It's listed in the status bar, and there's no error messages on the listener page.

However the Proxy setting in my current wifi settings has not changed at all. I do see it reconnect after turning on but the proxy setting is set to None.

OK I think I figured this out.

The app still works how ever auto mode does not work on my work WiFi. My work WiFi has a login and password to get access to the network(set up under the WiFi settings, not a web page). It won't set up the auto WiFi mode to set up the proxy.

My home network works perfectly fine for the auto WiFi mode.

Well, that mode is using undocumented and private Android APIs, so this kind of hiccup is expected ;p

If you set up the proxy manually at work, is the capture working ?

I can't set a login or password (other than the WEP/WPA key) on my WiFis. Could you please provide a screenshot of your WiFi settings (with values blurred out if you want) ? If I can replicate the same settings, I might find a way to make it work.

Sorry about the delay here it is what it looks like.

It uses the same login as the workspaces at the company.

And no worries if this isn't possible. I was worried something broke at first but like I said I can do updates at home and that should work if this is not able to be changed... Or through manual updates. screenshot_2014-08-22-15-20-08

Thanks for providing the capture.

Unfortunately, that's not something I can replicate at home ;p As I explained, automatically setting the proxy uses an undocumented private Android API, and won't work for 100% of the use cases.

I'll flag as wontfix and close.
