Hi there

Very irritating, I can't tell my S6 to forget O2 free wireless connections.
Normally you long press on a connection and have the option to forget it, but not O2 WiFi. I tried deleting my phones profile in the O2 wireless app, but all that does is constantly redirect me to a registration page.
I don't want my phone constantly trying to join useless O2 WiFi hotspots a I'm walking around London. I have a 20gb contact and it's just irritating, causing unloaded pages and breaks in streaming media.

Please somebody tel me how to remove it! And don't say "just turn off wireless" because I need to connect to others.

Hi Robsa.

 

I have seen a number of these so in my opinion this is could potentially be a common issue with Samsung devices running 5.X.

 

I'll send you a PM so I can try and get this addressed for you.

Maybe it's connecting to the WiFi Extra hotspots?
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Wifi extra?
The new thing that joins O2 free WiFi automatically using your sim id as authentification.
My bet anyway.

Lines get blurred between what can and can not be said by an employee on a public forum, i've already edited my original post to reflect this being a personal observation and not an official standpoint of either Samsung or O2.

 

Information I have requested could identify the OP's device and I am sure they would rather this not be posted publiclly.

But the community needs to know surely. If this is going to be a recurring problem everyone needs to know don't you think! ?

Long press the connection and untick "auto connect"
