    <p>I have a very large (spatially) corporate wireless network that my fleet of Android phones need to operate in. As mentioned in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6335192/quick-notification-silence">previous</a> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6238997/android-long-duration-socket-listener">questions</a>, they will run a custom app that makes them behave like pagers, which works by keeping a long-duration socket open, listening for messages from a server.</p> <p>My problem is that sometimes the devices do not handle the transition from access point A to access point B smoothly. I am basing this on the following log snippet which I was able to capture from one of the phones exhibiting this problem.</p> <pre><code>06-27 14:00:29.573: INFO/wpa_supplicant(1443): Associated with 00:00:00:00:00:00 06-27 14:00:29.573: INFO/wpa_supplicant(1443): CTRL-EVENT-STATE-CHANGE id=1 state=7 06-27 14:00:29.573: INFO/wpa_supplicant(1443): CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:00:00:00:00:00 completed (reauth) [id=1 id_str=] 06-27 14:00:29.573: INFO/wpa_supplicant(1443): CTRL-EVENT-STATE-CHANGE id=1 state=4 06-27 14:00:29.573: VERBOSE/WifiStateTracker(1356): Changing supplicant state: COMPLETED ==&gt; ASSOCIATED 06-27 14:00:29.573: VERBOSE/WifiMonitor(1356): Event [Associated with 00:00:00:00:00:00] 06-27 14:00:29.573: VERBOSE/WifiMonitor(1356): Event [CTRL-EVENT-STATE-CHANGE id=1 state=7] 06-27 14:00:29.573: VERBOSE/WifiMonitor(1356): Event [CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:00:00:00:00:00 completed (reauth) [id=1 id_str=]] 06-27 14:00:29.573: VERBOSE/WifiMonitor(1356): Event [CTRL-EVENT-STATE-CHANGE id=1 state=4] 06-27 14:00:29.573: VERBOSE/WifiMonitor(1356): Event [Associated with 00:00:00:00:00:00] 06-27 14:00:29.573: VERBOSE/WifiMonitor(1356): Event [CTRL-EVENT-STATE-CHANGE id=1 state=7] 06-27 14:00:29.573: VERBOSE/WifiMonitor(1356): Event [CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:00:00:00:00:00 completed (reauth) [id=1 id_str=]] </code></pre> <p>Can anyone help me understand why my router's BSSID is showing up as <code>00:00:00:00:00:00</code>? I am not a network expert, but that seems clearly wrong.</p> <p>Perhaps I am misusing the Android API, but the snippet above seems to deal with a layer that is far beneath my application. I have read that some access points do not work correctly with the Android low power mode; could this be what I am seeing?</p> <p>Thanks sincerely for any input.</p> <p>Edit: Here is the output from <code>dumpsys wifi</code></p> <pre><code>Wi-Fi is enabled Stay-awake conditions: 0 Internal state: interface wlan0 runState=Running SSID: rfVCRMC, BSSID: 00:00:00:00:00:00, MAC: 5C:DA:D4:12:46:2B, Supplicant state: COMPLETED, RSSI: -200, Link speed: 2, Net ID: 1 ipaddr 10.192.2.70 gateway 10.192.7.254 netmask 255.255.248.0 dns1 10.1.2.253 dns2 10.1.2.227 DHCP server 10.1.2.253 lease 14400 seconds haveIpAddress=true, obtainingIpAddress=false, scanModeActive=false lastSignalLevel=-1, explicitlyDisabled=false Latest scan results: BSSID Frequency RSSI Flags SSID 00:0c:41:dd:f5:b2 2437 -93 [WPA2-PSK-CCMP] idcwap 00:1b:d5:16:99:b0 2442 -93 [WEP] rfVCRMC 00:0f:24:c3:6f:d0 2437 -90 Guest 00:1b:d5:16:99:b0 2442 -93 Guest Locks acquired: 4 full, 0 scan Locks released: 3 full, 0 scan Locks held: WifiLock{VCD_ListenerService type=1 binder=android.os.BinderProxy@44cbd5b8} </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
