| Dec 23, 2014 at 2:27 | comment | added | bassmadrigal | The wpa_supplicant.conf file resides on the data partition. Unless it doesn't back up your saved Wi-Fi networks (I've never tried it since I've always been rooted), that file will be backed up as well. If it is the file that's corrupted, using adb backup and restore won't help. | |
| Dec 23, 2014 at 2:16 | comment | added | NoBugs | @bassmadrigal From what I understand adb backup backs up all apps and their settings. There is no setting in any app for Never-remember-wifi-accesspoints, it's likely a system file or glitch on last update or... who knows, if you don't have root. | |
| Dec 23, 2014 at 2:13 | comment | added | bassmadrigal | @NoBugs, it had to be related to something else. If you back up a corrupted file, erase it, and then restore the corrupted file, how is that file magically fixed? | |
| Dec 23, 2014 at 2:10 | comment | added | NoBugs | @bassmadrigal It absolutely helps - I fixed a Dell Android tablet with this never-remembering-wifi problem with backup, reset and restore. | |
| Dec 22, 2014 at 5:00 | comment | added | bassmadrigal | @NoBugs, that wouldn't help, because it would back up his issue and then restore it. He'd be left with the same problem when he did this. | |
| Dec 22, 2014 at 3:16 | comment | added | NoBugs | @Gregorius You don't need internet connection to backup, reset, restore, you can do it with adb as in the guide here: howtogeek.com/125375/… | |

| Apr 18, 2013 at 0:57 | comment | added | Jeeby | I did the wipe data on the settings app, and that seems to have fixed it. Thanks so much Bassmadrigal :) | |
| Apr 10, 2013 at 17:24 | comment | added | Jeeby | Thanks for that... i'll try a factory reset when i have an internet connection fast enough to redownload everything. Sucks to have to set everything up again though :( | |
