Are you not familiar with the automatic WIFI connect feature in Android? Once you get close to home, it connects automatically, what’s so difficult about that? Please do explain to me how Apple has accomplished that task better?

There’s an app for everything, it doesn’t negate the fact that the stock iOS implementation of connecting to a wifi network is better than stock Android. Don’t get me wrong, I love Android and wouldn’t trade to an iPhone for anything, but I can freely admit when there are features in iOS that are better, pairing to wifi networks is unquestionably one of them.

any time sir. given how many tech savvy folks we have on this site, im surprised how such a simple concept is so far beyond their understanding.

I’ve lost my faith in humanity… well done fellas. Is the new person not entitled to education? We were all generally there once, lost in the absurdly elitist niche that is Android fans There are people out there that use event their smartphones for just that, a phone, the discovery of wifi could be mindblowing to them! Connecting to my home internet to download stuff? Man, I told my grandmother that and her jaw actually hit the floor. Give people a chance man, you could be shutting down the next enthusiast.

TL;DR. Bottom line is you shouldn’t be looking to Droid Life to learn how to turn on Wi-Fi. Look in the manual that came with your device or poke around on your device. If you can’t fugure out how to do that then get an iPhone because there is no hope for you with anything technical.

I suppose. It just all seems so trivial. What’s the point of owning a smartphone if you can’t even figure out wifi? If people want a phone tailored for the layman, noob, or non tech-savvy person, buy an iPhone. Or a basic phone.

Good point, it’s been a while since I’ve bought a phone at a store w/ sales reps.
