Please note: On some devices, after starting the easyroam app, users are asked whether the easyroam app should be allowed to control the WLAN. Without permission for the easyroam app to control the WLAN, the easyroam app cannot install any easyroam profiles for eduroam and therefore the easyroam app will only function to a limited extent on these devices. In the system settings of many devices in the menu "App ..." ⇒ Advanced (default apps, permission manager, ...) ⇒ Special app access ⇒ WLAN control ⇒ easyroam "App may control WLAN" should be enabled. Usually as mentioned before, the option is queried when starting the easyroam app, on some devices, e.g. on ANDROID 10/11 the option is not queried but set automatically. System message like this option query can be easily overlooked on some devices. Therefore please pay attention to system messages.

3. There are two ways to login to easyroam "Login through Website" or "Login using QR-Code". In case of "Login through Website" the registration via WAYF (Where Are You From) and the university mail address is required see point 4.

If you have your laptop or a desktop device nearby, you can use these devices to log in to easyroam via the portal www.easyroam.de in the browser and generate a QR code (valid for 5 minutes), which you can then scan in the easyroam app on the ANDROID device (with camera). In this case, skip point 4. and install the profile as indicated in point 5.

4. Search for University of Hildesheim in the search window and log in with your university username and password.

5. Click on "Install new profile" to start the installation process of the profile.

6. Clicking on "Confirm" will take you further.

Please note: On ANDROID 10 devices, the system check box is not immediately shown on the display. However, it is indicated at the top of the display in the header that there was a system message for the easyroam app. Unfortunately, this is easily overlooked. Simply display the system message and confirm with "Allow". The system check box, as shown in the graphic above, is only displayed as of ANDROID 11.
