Hi
Has anyone found a way of pasting the network key in rather than type it?? I connect to a lot of different wireless network but store all the keys in a txt document and would like to type in each one.
I have tried PQz but doesnt help.
Hi all.
Our network administrator periodically changes the network key for our wireless access points for security reasons. Then our laptops are configured to use the new network key by copying and pasting the new key onto each computer using a flash disk. In my case, when I want to access the network using my Wizard, I have to physically input the new key in character by character each time (and it's usually quite a complex key at that!). I was wondering if any of you know if it's possible to paste the new key into the password field from a text file or email, since the usual tap-and-hold method of pasting text doesn't seem to work when inputting passwords.
Have you tried using the popup keyboard, ctrl v?
V
Hi all,
I've got a a wifi network with a full length pass phrase that uses the complete extended ascii alphabet (including characters not on the TyTn) and am wondering if there is a way to cut and paste the key into the network key field of the wifi configuration wizard?
Thanks
Same problem
Yes, I have the same problem as you do. I can not paste the long WPA key into the box. The Paste option is disabled. Did you find any solution?

I use a free download called Hitchhiker which is meant for seeking out and making it easy to log onto networks. I've just tried and it allows pasting of the key into the box. If you then exit hitchhiker it says it will disconnect from the network, But don't worry as it saves the key to the appropriate place so when you log in again by the normal route it is already entered.
NB obviously you can save a text file on PC with the key on it and move it to Hermes but when pasting use ctrl v to paste on softkeyboard not usual press and hold the stylus as that does not give the paste option.

Hi I have an O2 XDA Exec running Windows Mobile 5 and I'm trying to connect to my work wifi
we don't use certificates but we do have a 42 character WPA key with mixed upper/lower alphanumerics and special characters, it's a pain to type even when you can see what you are typing
my laptop connects quite happily using this key
so starting from not having a network connection on the xda, I use the connection manager to stop the phone network and enable only the wifi
the xda then detects the locally available networks and lets me select my works one
I set it up for work access and then I'm presented with the wpa key input field
using the main keyboard I have to type in the key and every time I get to about the 32nd character the phone keypad pops up as if I'm making a call, if I dismiss this I'm back at a now empty wpa key input field, it looks to me like there's a buffer overflow error of some sort happening there
I cannot paste into this field using the main keyboard, however copying the text of the key from a file to the clipboard and using ctrl-v from the on screen keyboard seems to paste something into the field, however the xda still fails to connect and eventually turns the wifi off
going to the "Configure Network Authentication" dialogue I have deleted the works network and tried to manually add a new network with the same name, manually typing in the key which doesn't seem to throw the phone application up this time, then I tell it to connect and it tries for a few minutes and then disables the wifi again
is there any way I can add this key in directly say by importing a reg file or creating a certificate of some sort, at least that way I would know the key was typed correctly
Sorted it
I installed a copy of Hitchhiker which not only let me see the key that I was typing in but let me paste the one out of the file I was given, I could then connect, then I removed Hitchhiker and lo I could still connect
Has anyone been able to get Clearwire / Freedompops 4G USB Stick to work in any rom?
It supposedly is compatible with android under with RNDIS or CDC support. Plugging it in, my a500 recognizes it and asks to start PPPWidget, however PPP widget does not find a driver. Model is the ubee atlas usb stick.
Under terminal emulator I've tried:
dhcpcd eth0
netset.eth0.dns1 208.67.222.222
ifconfig displays eth0 with a MAC address matching my stick and an IP address, but I've got no connection in browser.
This is under the latest flexreaper rom.
hey gtjeffc,
i got my ubee stick just today from freedompop, and all i had to do was run 'dhclient eth1'
there's a web interface available for the modem at 192.168.14.1
also, this was in my resolv.conf:
search clearwire-wmx.net
nameserver 192.168.14.1
nameserver 66.233.172.12
nameserver 75.94.255.12

Excellent news. Did you need superuser permission to run it? I will try it when I get home - hopefully it will work and we can put in a script that will run when the modem is detected to auto-run when it's inserted in the USB port.

Ok, got it to work. At first I could only get to 192.168.14.1, until I added another interface in dhcpcd.conf. I set the ubee stick to NAT mode as well.
It works, but not all applications recognize that there is a network connection (Play, Maps).
What ROM are you using?
Let me get this straight. Freedompop now runs on Android tablets and if so has anyone cloned to Android phones yet by using the MAC Address. I know there's a Iphone sleeve but I'd like to reduce the carrying load.

What ROM are you on? I tried in on one of the jellytime builds and I can get to the management interface but in NAT mode it looks like dns requests are never fulfilled despite having dhcpcd entries and resolv.conf entries.

sidenote, I just tried to access google directly via ip and it worked, check my ip and its the stick's ip.. so something is wrong with the dns settings of the stick.
Okay, manually setting the ip works I did both
setprop net.eth0.dns1 x.x.x.x
and
setprop net.dns1 x.x.x.x
and it worked after the second one, so I'm not sure if the first is needed. Now to figure out a way to automatically run dhcpcd eth0 when the usb is inserted..
UBee Stick PXU1964 4G - noobe trying to get it working
Hey There hoping for a little direction.
I tried PPPWidget on my Acer A500 rooted with JellyTime+ Ver. 4.1.2. I have a 4G dongle from Freedompop it's a Ubee Stick PXU1964.
Plugging in the stick It seams to lock and get 2 bars of signal. The Widget recognizes its plugged in but then says "no drivers". The Widget directory shows no files in any of folders - cfg,lib or log I don't know if that is normal or not.
Using the Terminal emulator I was able to get to the stick and in the browser display the setup screen. But I still can't get to the net.
Anyone get any further??
Any help would be appreciated sure would like to get this working.:good:
Here is what I have done so far:
on tablet launch terminal prgm
type: su "rtn"
type: netcfg (check eth0 or eth1or usb0 or usb1 is up; if down do next step)
type: ifconfig eth0 up
type: dhcpcd eth0
type: setprop dns1 66.233.127.12 (or use whatever DNS server you wish)
type: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 (just picked this ip)
Launch browser go to stick setup adr (192,168.14.1) - displays Ubee Stick setup screen
try google.com says not connected
Update: March 7,2013
YAHOOOO Success~~
I have successfully been able to repeatedly connect to the FreedomPop 4G network with my A500 and JellyTime (JellyBean Spinoff Custom ROM). And also I have optimized the process to just 4 steps and it does not require any connections to a PC or other device.
This requires the tablet be Rooted.
Plug in your FreedomPop Ubee Stick PXU1964 USB 4G Dongle - should work with any dongle though
Launch your Terminal emulator.
Check to see if the Dongle green light stays on indicating it has acquired a signal and that
you have some bars of signal.
At the prompt
type: su ( To invoke super user access)
type: Ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.12 ( Can be any IP address you choose (You can type: netcfg to confirm the Dongle is seen by the Tablet)
type: dhcpcd eth0 ( Wait for lease to complete and next prompt.)
type: setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8 (use any dns server - I used Google's free dns server or 8.8.4.4 also Google)
Thats all there is to it.
You can check things are setup correctly by:
typing: netcfg
It will reply with all connected devices and eth0 will show the IP address and port - mine was 192.168.1.12/24 and reading
further it shows the MAC address of the Dongle.
Launch your favorite browser and input 192.168.14.1 (for the FreedomPop PXU1964) for the URL or what ever URL is required by your device.
The FreedomPop setup screen should appear. Click on Network about center screen and it should show how many bytes transferred.
Click on the Advanced Link and insure it's set to NAT Mode.
Open another browser window and select your favorite Web Site URL and it should come up!
Happy 4g browsing!!!!! Seems to work pretty good even with one or two bars although the download is fastest when all the bars are lite and
the signal to noise ratio is at its best......
Next project is to script this process and automate it - unfortunately I don't know how to do that so I have some studying to do before I can ----
That is unless someone takes pity on me and points me in the right direction.... Any takers to help an old man? (;>
Thanx in advance.....

Within a couple of days of my last post I found out how to automate the process above. It is actually very simple. It would have been nice if someone would have thrown a dog bone as it would have only taken a couple of minutes. Guess nobody ever looks at these old posts?? Anyway If your trying to connect try this it might work.
Download SManager and SMWidgets from the Google Play Store - the free version(s) works fine or you can use any Text Editor although SManager ads is really nice for making scripts. SMWidgets is needed to make the widget and generate the Icon to launch your application from the Home Screen.
Launch SManager access the tool bar and select "New Script" Enter a filename, I choose FreedomPop.sh - Notice the ( .SH) that tells android it is a script - similar to .bat in DOS.
Enter the filename and press ok. SManager responds with "Open With..." and provides options for editing. Choose SM Editor or a text editor.
After the line: #!/system/bin.sh
type: Ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.12 ( Can be any IP address you choose) Optional -You can type: netcfg to confirm the Dongle is seen by the Tablet
type: dhcpcd eth0 ( Wait for lease to complete and next prompt.)
type: setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8 (use any dns server - I used Google's free dns server or 8.8.4.4 also Google)
Select save or back out to the file screen, it will ask if you wish to save your work. Say yes. Find your script in the listing and press and hold until the menu comes up. Select (Open as...) and Open As... Script/Executable.
On the 3rd Line select the "SU" icon.
On the default (4th Line)make sure to select "Is script".
At this point you can change the Alias which should contain the script name you choose.
Save your work.
Hit run to test out your script.
Lastly grab the SMWidgets icon from the widgets icons screen and move it to an available space on your home screen. It will launch and select
"Add one script widget" Select your script and it will create a quick launch Icon that will launch your script.
Good Luck!
Thank you!
Dude thank you very much on this useful tutorial. I bought the freedompop stick and when I plugged it in, it was not working and I thought it is just another waste of my money....until I ended up with your tutorial. Thanks a lot, and you method worked on my rooted Verizon Galaxy Note 2 (stock rom).:highfive:

Hi PBates123,
I followed your direction and successfully put the eth0 ip as 192.168.1.12. eth0 is up. However, every time I run dhcpcd eth0, it say "using IPv4LL 169.254.109.250" I cannot get to 192.168.14.1, nor the internet.
I notice that the MAC id show in eth0 and my stick MAC id is different by only the last digit, it's 9 instead of 7. Is this normal ? Also, do you suppose to be able to browser the content of your usb freedom stick? Since mine seems not to be mounted.
I also have the Freedompop Ubee Stick PXU1964. My android tablet is Curtis KLu LT7033.
Any help would be appreciated. I have gotten this far and went through a great pain to successfully root my Klu tablet...
