App for automatically toggle between IP Manager settings? - Desire Themes and Apps

Does anyone know of an app or a way to toggle between different IP Manager profiles?
I am trying to address a problem with my Desire that I've had since the Froyo update which means I have to use a static IP address in one location & dynamic everywhere else.
Thanks in advance.

Thx but it's not quite what I'm looking for. I can't see how to switch back to dynamic IP or how to set conditions. IP Manager already lets me set different IP addresses.

Any suggestions?
I'd settle for something that can automatically switch between a static and a dynamic IP address.

did you try the app?
When no profile has been saved for one spot, it get its IP by DHCP
Profiles are only set for static parameters...

Hi quesseb - sorry but I'm not sure what you mean. What app are you referring to?
Thx.

I used wifi static as mentioned.
It detects a known network and switches to the relevant static IP. And of course there is no profile for it to remember when you use DHCP

No problem folks. I switched to Locale with the IP address plug. That did the trick. I can now switch between IP addresses based on location or WiFi connection. Handy simple & it just works.

Hack to make web browsing faster...

This hack has been around forever but I figured I would mention it because surprisingly few people know about it:
DO THIS:
Settings > Wireless > Wifi Settings > Menu (Button) > Advanced > Use Static IP (check this) > DNS1 Settings (set to 208.67.222.222) > DNS2 Settings (set to 208.67.220.220) > Reboot
Not all roms will allow you to access this, but if yours does, give it a try.
WHAT IT DOES:
When you enter a name like Amazon in your browser, before going to Amazon it needs to translate "Amazon" into an IP address. This can be SLOOOOW. By setting your DNS servers, you give it one single IP address to go to for all IP address translations - i.e., it's faster.
This is an old PC hack and I wasn't sure it would work on a phone but we tried it out over at another forum and everyone was getting MUCH faster page opens in their browsers. Many said their Market was working faster too.
Give it a shot and see what you think. Good luck

Oh yeah, it's free so no worries.
Wont you run into problems if you move off your home network. Some networks wont give you the static ip you want.

Dunno. Seemed to have sped up my 3G as well. If it doesn't work you can just uncheck the static ip thing when away from home.

Yea that's what I figured. Also I use google dns. 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 its easier to remember.

eh most of the time you wont have to jump more than 1 or 2 DNS servers to sort your IP, than that IP is sent down those on the way back to you for future reference(until a hold down timer expires most likely)
gosh, hope that makes sense =P

Nevertheless, this is faster.
OP, your link leads to a website that appears to require a sign-up to continue, is there a link that doesn't?
Also, while I can see how this may help with a Wi-Fi signal, how is it you've experienced faster 3G? Just curious, thanks.
First, this isnt a hack
Second, you're changing dns for your wifi, not 3g.
Thanks for the reminder though, but does any know if you can change your 3g dns?

##data(3282)# / edit mode / there are plenty of settings to mess with here (and mess things up too, but here is where you can find what you are looking for)
btw... you will need your msl to enter edit mode
I wouldn't go around fooling with the sprint default dns it could cause problems.
Isn't that the opendns ip? Who cares... this is not a hack... at all. I use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 anyway.

You don't have to sign up, just use the DNS addresses given:
DNS1: 208.67.222.222
DNS2: 208.67.220.220
That's all you need.
LOL at people thinking hard setting dns servers = hacking.
Setting up DNS does not speed up browsing. It might speed up the initial resolving of the website if the current dhcp dns server is slow.
Thanks for the good laugh tho.
Now if somebody could post how to change WiMAX DNS servers, that would be much more interesting... for a variety of reasons...

[Q] Is it possible to change DNS in WiFi Settings?

As per title: is it possible to change them?
Thx.
There is an "Advanced" section under the wifi status bar which allows you to set a static ip, thus change the dns settings.

Change dns setting of mobile network of an unrooted device

Hi!
I have some of the sites restricted with default dns setting on mobile network. I set Google dns on my adsl modem at home so I don't have any problem when I am using wifi at home. I would like to change my mobile network too.
I was changing easily on my HTC Himalaya on windows mobile 6 years ago:-(

You can change it in advanced settings in wifi config. This is a global setting though so effects all networks.
If you want network specific dns, dl "wifi static" from the market.
Edit: ok ignore me. On 3g networks I'm not sure

Not a single reply?
Use your router settings to do it, add a reserved IP address for your nexus 4.
IF you want to do it on the phone just long press the network, click modify, then show advanced options, then change IP address to static instead of DHCP
