Hi all,
Wondering if anyone knows how to make Android open the ports necessary for incoming connections for server apps to work without having to ping the client first under su?
Or failing that, is there a way to run a script that will ping the client IP instead of having to run the command by hand in terminal?
Thanks!

Sorry, my bad. Mods, could someone please move my question to the appropriate venue?
LOVE your nick and avatar, dude!

i would really love to see a solution there too!
RemoteSMS over wlan would be awesome

Second that! Something's off in 99/100 ROMS, TCP doesn't seem to do anything. Only one Sense ROM by cotulla seems to work.
I disabled the adblocking hosts file to test if it had anything to do with it (e.g. SSHDroid doesn't work with it) but that didn't help anything either
Agreed, does not seem to work on any rom I've tried, only Cotulla's 'Stock Desire' Sense build seems to work (this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893620).
Too bad Sense's so completely dire, otherwise I'd use that. I want CyanogenMOD.
Having the same question. I am sure here must be someone who knows how to enable inbound connections....
Little update:
I noticed it is possible for me to ping and use all services when using the gateway to access everything, in my case the access point/wifi router.
So it looks like this is some kind of routing/firewall issue but I can't find anything about default blocking or firewalling on android...
Good news. I found out what is causing this on almost every build.
It has something to do with the stock wifi tethering. If you try and enable it in almost every rom it will fail, but now turn on your wifi again and everything works as it would normally do!
The build it does work on also has working stock wifi tethering, so that explains that...
For now it's good to have this workaround and I hop to have a proper fix in the future
im using RAFDROID 3.0 and i dont think i have this problem at all. I tried SwiFTP and it connected without any issues.
Try to update the busybox version mine is 1.15.2

I tried this on Frankinstine's awesome ROM, but no cigar. There has to be a firewall rule or setting we can tweak to allow this kind of traffic...

It works for me, but it's not 100% foolproof. It seems to work for a while, but not permanently. However, it's still better than the ping method. The ping method would never work for me, since I use Wifi at least 4 different places a week. Even when done automatically, how would I know what to ping on what Wifi network?! Random DHCP on workstations notwithstanding...
This does it for me:
turn on normal Wifi
wait around 10 seconds (for Wifi to 'start')
turn on Wifi hotspot (normal wifi should turn it self off automatically)
wait around 20 seconds (the hotspot takes a while to 'start', it actually fails (error) for me, but still does the trick)
turn normal Wifi on again
At that point it "works" for me, at least for a while.
At the very least this seems to indicate that the broken Wifi hotspot and this problem are related -- on Cotulla's build (where stock Wifi hotspot WORKS), this problem is non-existent.
Unfortunatly your steps do not work for me :-(

That's unlucky. Those steps seem to "work" for me on CleanDroid 1.30. Maybe we can just hope it works again when the stock wifi hotspot is fixed.
Alternate "solution":
Get Cotulla's "Stock Desire" ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893620
It definitely works on that. Too bad sense is dog****, and your battery will last for a day max.

Just tried this and it worked. As soon as I started the wifi the second time my computer started pinging HD2.
My usual procedure for fixing this was to start wifi, see assigned IP address and then ping my computer from 'Net Ping' app. This can be faster sometimes.
Is there a way to port hotspot from Cotulla's build to a nonSense build? No way for me to come back to sense again

Don't know, it's probably in the kernel, so shouldn't be too difficult, but then again, I haven't really got a clue about building ROMs.

I'm pretty happy with my new HTC Hero, but I'm having a lot of trouble with the WiFi connection. I connects fine and shows "good" or "excelent" signal strength on my home network. However the speed is very slow and if I go to Android Market it loads the different apps very slowly an looses connection often: It says "No connection" and I press the "Retry" button...). It is not just a problem i Android Marked. Loading pages in the browser, facebook etc. is extremely slow when on WiFi. When I'm using EDGE everything is A LOT faster and I don't get "A network error has occured. Retry or cancel...etc.".
I have tried different settings on my access point, but nothing seems to help. I have (tempoarily) disabled encryption, tried swiching channels, using B instead og G setting, and manually setting: Gateway, DNS etc... In the end it got a bit frustrating so I tried a factory reset. But WiFi is still very slow. If you have any suggestions to what the problem might be I would be very grateful.
I had a similar problem with my AP (D-Link DIR 655) and tried to set it to use the same communications setup as another AP that worked properly. Whatever I did with encryption, keys and channels made no difference on my AP. The solution on this AP was to set it to 802.11g only (it was b+g+n), and it has worked fine since.
I do however suspect that there may be some serious issues lurking in the linux kernel that is used on the hero (2.6.27). Wifi was a nightmare on that release with notebooks too, and core parts of the wifi-stack has been replaced since. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a significant improvement in wifi-performance whenever there's an Android release that include a 2.6.30 or later kernel.
I have been having the same issues but my wifi didnt work with the browser, or youtube. I downloaded Opera mini and wifi works fine. With factory browser i can go to google and it will load and search but once i click on links found it hangs and wont connect. I am so frustrated my sim is going back into my iphone 3gs until an update is released this sucks big time
It is a bit disappointing if this is a general issue, but I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one with this type of problem.
Maybe this could also be a HTC-issue? I remember my HTC Tytn II where there was a slider where you could choses between "performance" or "battery saving". I remember that I couldn't get the WiFi to run properly unless I set it to highest performance. I consumed more power but it worked with this setting.
On my Hero, the HSDPA connection is for some reason faster than my ADSL2+ (24Mbps) connection. Rather odd..
Same here. The 3G/EDGE is a lot faster than my 20 Mbit ADSL. It makes no sense
Why does it take so long to make a connection to my router via wifi?
This can sometimes take 10 - 15 minutes before I have a connection.
With my windows mobile device this takes only a few seconds.
I'm experiencing the same issue on my Hero (with updated HTC firmware). I've also tried playing around with my routers settings to no avail. My Hero is basically useless for browsing on WIFI.
I'm curious, does anyone running an alternative rom experience this? If not I may look into rooting my phone..
Root your phone and do this
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps
It will fix it.

you've had 57 posts and dont know what rooting is;p aha (not trying to be a ****, just found that funny:])
when you root your phone you gain root access and can do just about anything, like install apps that need root access! there are guides in the dev section on how to, and if you do a search there is a thread on what root allows you to do!
i dont know if that command will fix your problem though, sorry!

I've been a "windows mobile" user for a long time.
I know what "root access" is in the general Unix environment.
But I don't really know how it works on the Android OS.
I'm more of a Windows guy.
It's my first time messing on Android, I got tired of Windows Mobile.
frem
Just my humble opinion. This is a problem that should be fixed by htc.
If rooting fixes it it's good, but it can't be a requirement to get it working properly.
I mean you buy a phone with wifi, you expect it to be as fast as your provider is... Getting less is just not getting what you paid for.
Has anyone mailed HTC about this problem? I hardly ever use wifi but tried it today
and indeed my hsdpa is lot's faster than my 20mbit connection @ home.
Help us pleaseeee

That pretty much cut the speed in half for me.
Seriously the wifi issue is a big problem for me. I don't have a 3g unlimited plan.
Basically when i activate the wifi i start a application like update weather or check a webpage or update tweets, it works then connection drop and i can't connect to anything.
I have to deactivate wifi then reactivate to get like 40 seconds surfing and downloading apps on the market.
IS everyone having the same wifi problem ?
It happened on every access point not just the one at my place.
Please help me, is it my phone that has a hardware problem ?
frem
you gotta think of it this way...
most people who dont have problems arnt gunna make it to this thread because there not searching for it! So your mostly gunna get replys saying "same here"
so im guessing most people dont have this problem.. although it could be a specific rom on a specific carrier or something... see if you have anything in common with other people with this problem, if not, maybe it is hardware
WiFi channels
Have you tried changing the wifi channel in your router settings in case there is interferance with a nearby router on the same channel? Although you would experience slow wifi on any wifi device (laptops)..but worth checking.
I've just done a speedtest on my phone using the speedtest.net app and do get just over half the download speed on my phone (5-6mbps) opposed to my pc (wired 9-10mbps) and laptop (wireless 9-10mbps). So knowing my wireless is set up correctly, it does show some loss in speed with the hero. See how much of a loss you get?
Adam
Thank you for your reply. I think i figured it out. I am at the countryside right now and im connnected on a diferent acess point and it's working perfectly i'm actually writing this post in WiFi mode on the hero. So the problem is from the other access point i tested. i already tried changing the Channel number. I use a french provider that use access points called "freebox"
FYI the problem with the hero and some wifi access points is well known and is being forwarded to htc by Vodafone.

My wifi is spotty, at best. I've tried every ROM but every ROM has the same issues: wifi will work for awhile, then it won't, then I power the phone off, then it doesn't work after I power it back on, then I disable it and re-enable it, and it may/may not work. Basically, it's totally unreliable.
I AM running a 2.4 mouse/keyboard combo, but I've tried different channels on my router: 1,6,11 ... they all have issues. My router is a D-LINK 615 and supports 801.11b-n.
I have an iPhone and it is rock solid on the wifi; plays nicely with the keyboard and mouse and doesn't miss a beat. But I REALLY want my HD2 to work: it's more baddass!
Can anyone help me out?
by not working, could you be more detailed? coz if the problem is about wifi went to sleep state after you lock the phone, then there's a settings for that.

Where's the setting?... I must have missed it! I can restart the phone and get the wifi symbol, but the reception bars aren't fully lit... only the very lowest (I'm on a sense build now).
I go into wifi settings and it says 'connected' ... but I try to load the browser, or marketplace, or Amazon AppStore ... and I'm not connected. I disable wifi then I renable it and my wifi bar is full! And the wifi works for, maybe, 30-45 seconds before it doesn't work again.
Really, really odd. And this is how it behaves on all ROMs I've tried.
*EDIT* I just saw that my wifi sleep policy is set to 'never' go to sleep.
I just turned on "best wi-fi performance" but I have my doubts that it will work... and my battery is going to suffer, big time.
I suffer from similar symptoms.
Wifi will show as being connected (but sometimes the signal meter is obviously off), but things like the browser won't load. It'd be nice if wifi just dropped entirely (and then push notifications would work again), but it doesn't. It just doesn't work; it shows as being connected, but I can't load things.
If I disable/re-enable wifi, it works again.
I think most of the time (for me) the trouble is the result of going between different APs or coming back to an AP, but still sometimes problems occur even when I'm sitting still at a single place (I'm connected to a campus network, but I've had this problem happen on a 1-router network before too).
I've found that, overall, the g.lewarne kernel works really well after a few reboots (wifi sometimes still gets "stuck," but not as often...), at least better than Raf 1.9. But... problems still exist.
Hope you find a solution here! There have been several threads with this already...
Thanks! Help installing a new kernel...

I just flashed g.lewarne's GL_CORE_V5 from here:

... I flashed the whole ROM and I'm getting zero wifi. Even with the other kernels I was able to get some wifi, but none with this one. I like the ROM look a lot, but nothing doing on the wifi front.
Anyone else have suggestions??
WPA vs WPA2
Make sure you set ONLY WPA and TKIP in your router settings... I have much more reliable wifi because of this.
Also, choose specific wifi channel ... channel 6 works for me, and I've seen channels 1 and 11 as recommended channels as well.
Mixed WPA/WPA2 and TKIP/AES modes were horrible for wifi
FYI!
My ROMs are working relatively well now... much better than mixed modes (no wifi working)

Ah. Unfortunately I have little control over the wifi infrastructure on campus (I'm in a college environment). That said, I'm not connected to the WPA2 Enterprise ssid but the unencrypted one.
Good to hear you found a resolution!
I have found that WiFi works just as good as my laptop when I'm running Windows Phone 7. Much faster at connecting and can connect further to the edges of signal then Android. I wonder why this is.
Hello, I have an EU HD2 running Hyperdoid 2.1.0, but I've had this problem no matter which rom I tried and I'm at my wits' end trying to solve it.
When I connect to WPA wifi routers, the connection starts out fine, but after a short while my connection to the router seems to get cut off. The delay before this happens could be seconds or it could be 1 or two minutes and seems to depend on the amount of data passing over the interface - when I view a streaming video for example, I get disconnected almost immediately, when I browse pages with few graphics it lasts a bit more. I tried this with 3 or 4 different routers with identical results.
Notwithstanding that no data is getting through, the phone still indicates that I am connected to the wifi router and when I ping the router it gives me a "no route to host". WEP and open networks work fine, so I had to change my home network to WEP, but I'm not conforable with it due to security concerns. I also have problems connecting to public wifi ap's because they are usually secured by WPA.
I suspect that this is related to the wpa_supplicant supplied with tytung's kernel, but I really have no way of knowing what's going on and I haven't been able to find anything in the logs.
Can anybody give me a hand with this? Solving this problem would make the hd2 the perfect phone for me.
please post this in the Q&A section NOT the dev section
i do not suffer from these issues and my router is wpa2 secured

Thanks white-energy. I use wifi fixer when I need to connect to a wpa network, but it's a less than satisfactory solution because it doesn't stop the connection from dropping - it just reconnects automatically. That means that I can browse almost normally, but streaming video or downloading is still almost impossible.
If you know of better software I would be very much obliged.

While I agree that this the wrong forum, should be moved to the right forum et all, here is my $0.02
Have you tried Tytung's NexusHD2 build (not just the kernel)? try 2.8 or 2.9, in my experience his implementation is the most reliable. So reliable that I use the Wifi/BT drivers and related files in my CM7 nightly build. And it works like a charm.
If you are having troubles even in his ROM, something else is wrong. Top of my head, try a different radio. I toggle between 2.12 and 2.15, both with varying degrees of reliability.

Give NexusHD2 a shot just to find the Wifi stability.
You can try the latest of the CM7 nightlies released by Arif Ali, along with Tytung's kernel (available in his thread).
I can upload my custom CM7 build based on Arif Ali's CM7 nightlies with Tytung's Kernel and Wifi/ BT drivers and related files somewhere, but am a cLK user. And of course I will have to remove my paid apps from it before sharing

Ok, so I tried switching radio to .12 - no joy. I also tried Tytung's NexusHD2, but it does exactly the same thing.
I don't know what else to try. If there weren't other people with this problem, I would suspect that my phone is defective, but would that make sense given that open networks and wep networks work fine??
Hi guys.
I have an issue with WiFi in this WP7 ROM. They say that you can fix it by lowering the channel of your router, and there are 2 fixes (CAB packages) that are supposed to fix wifi or something.
My problem is that, even after applying the fixes and lowering my router channel I am STILL unable to enter my network. My problem before was that I cannot see the network at all, but lowering the channel seemed to fix that. However now I can see, but not Join my network. It is password secured and it is NOT mac filtered.
My router channel is 1
I have tried both fixes and neither have worked
I have hard reset countless times
I have run task 29 countless times and reflashed
WiFi works in neither 7004 or 7720
Funny thing is, that for a very short period of time I got the WiFi to Work and that was when I first lowered my channel to 1. I have tried several channels, but NONE worked. In the begining when I flashed the ROM for the first time ever WiFi worked, I upgraded to mango, and when I activated the Live services it stopped working (after a reboot). The next time I got it to work was when I lowered the channel of the router to 1.
This is weird and I don't know what to do. I could not find anyone with my problem anywhere!
P.S. The messege I get is something like: Your phone couldn't connect to the network Gratis Internett (my network) because there was no response from the network.
Same problem here.
My device don't detect Home Wi-FI, only the neighbors wi-fi.
Strange Think.
Sometimes, I Restarted de reuter... to detect and connect without problem. But if for any reason I turn wi-fi off... i've to restart... and restar again.
I apply the WI-FI fix EU. No difference
i have a diffferent problem with the wifi. I disable my wifi on my phone and my data slows down. i enable and it moves regular any fix for this?

My device don't detect Home Wi-FI, only the neighbors wi-fi.
Strange Think.
Sometimes, I Restarted de reuter... to detect and connect without problem. But if for any reason I turn wi-fi off... i've to restart... and restar again.
I apply the WI-FI fix EU. No difference

It might be that your wifi is faster than your phone. Don't know if it helps but if you install advanced config you can add a 3G toggle, and enable wifi n mode, but DO NOT try to prevent phone from relocking (you will lose all xaps)

My problem was that it didn't detect the network. I fixed that by lowering the channel of my router. My current problem it is that the phone REFUSES to connetct to my network!

Do you have set up access control on your router?
Because the MAC-Issue (random MAC on every reboot) is still not fixed.
I was investigating on this issue but I'm still not able to create my own cabs...

Do you mean like mac filtering? I made it clear in my top post that I DO NOT have mac filtering on!
It's funny, but restarting my router was something i forgot to try. It fixed my issue...for now...
EDIT: Oh my god! I have reboot my phone and WIFi still works! Wonder for how long...
EDIT 2: I have reboot my phone once more, but this time it stopped working. I will just have to reboot the router every time I reboot the phone. -_-

Even if you said you have no mac filtiering, it seems to has something to do with the changing mac 'cause that's what changes after a hd2 reboot...
Does your router have an option that sets a maximum number of cennected clients? - 'cause it maybe calculates the number based on the mac...

Now that's a whole different thing. Since the router is our Home router, I don't have 100% control over it (I'm the 14 year old son ^^) and my dad knows that. I'll ask and tell you what I find out. Thanks for this suggestion.
And did you (or your dad ) get it working?

It wasn't the issue.
Hmm, I'm sure you did it already but have you tried some other wifi devices? Or another OS on your phone (Android,WinMo)?
The issue is quite confusing... Anyway, the last option I can think of is to reflash wp7...
PS: If you want to test it with android, dualboot would be the best option...

I have had and I currently do have Android on my Device. It's WP7 that makes the issue, not the device. It works like a charm on cyanogenmod7!
I found a solution for this.. the issue here is not the phone.. the issue was the router. the best way to end this issue is to reset the configuration of your router.
I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
My N4 won't connect to wifi. Well it connects but Won't keep a connection to complete a playstore app install nor update the system itself?
This is what I posted on "Issue 40065: Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 Wifi Drops connection Android 4.2"
New device just received. Will connect to wifi but unable to install any apps thru play store.... Just shows data transferring but none actually happens. I'm unable to install none of the gapps updates. Left it alone for 2 days did not help. removing password from router and making it an open router did not help. Now trying to decide I should return the device as it is only usable as a phone not a multimedia device which this N4 should be?
There are a lot of people having the same kind of issue on this phone. A little search brings up lots and lots of complaints.
Still unable to connect to my router encore model 2AN3.
Tried to connect to open wifi router at McD and [email protected]#$ - still no go. It will connect think about it and stops. The icon at the top turns green and gray and keeps doing it.
How ever I was able to connect to the open wifi router on another Nexus S (my older phone) and was able to download updates and install said applications from play store.
This tells me that hardware is good. Software coded so badly that it is unable to keep a connection to routers.
So if you need to use this phone on a wifi router - wait until google fix this or get another phone.
As for me - it is a shame I will have to return this phone to google as it is useless media device. Just a phone which I can get a cheap phone for 10 bucks not $400 piece of [email protected]#$%T.
Sorry for the RANT.

Also flashed rom CM10.1 stable and xylon 17 stable. Still same problem repeated. both ROMS can connect to my hotspot on my NS but unable to neither my home router nor public wifi.
A few things I have tried.
1. avoid poor wifi disabled.
2. switch chennels to 6 or 8 - tried all.
3. Resetting routers
4. Assigning static IP address
5. Cleared cache from recovery
6. changed the Wi-Fi band from 'Auto' to 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz
7. Flashed new kernel Running franko.
8. Flashed 2 other ROMS/cm10.1 and xylon17 both stable versions.
My home router have not trouble connecting to all other devices at home (NS, HP touchpad, 3 desktop and 3 other laptops, Tried with N4 being the only device that was turned on. : still no go!! WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY!!!
Also followed the directions from this thread. Still no candy.
Please take a poll and let post here if you should find a good solution.
Mine works flawlessly. You should contact Google for a RMA.

I guess its the lease period on your router that you need to change... put it to lease expiring n a day or two... shuld work.. I had this issue when I upgraded to 2.3.6 on my Atrix

I just called. This guy treated me like I'm noob. But I digress.. He asked me to turn off GPS and try again saying that GPS and wifi together can not be on at the same time. That still did not work. So there is a request for replacement. Not really sure when I will get it. But keep my finger crossed - that I get a working wifi and gps at the same time ??
Don't really want to return it though since I like the phone form factor and such!
What a shame.

Why wouldn't WiFi and GPS work together? I don't see any reason as to why one would interfiere with another

You shouldn't be flashing ROMs to try and fix something as basic as this. You're only adding more variables to the problem. My WiFi has been rock solid, and so apparently is that of most other posters. This would tend to indicate that there is a specific problem with your phone.
Unless there is something seriously wrong with your router it's RMA time I reckon.

I see your point and I agree.
But after a full day of fiddling with it on stock ROM, what the hell not?

I sure did! But I also tried a couple of other fixes I have found on the web and on this forum. That did not help either.

I reckon, I will.
Just to re-iterate .....
Wifi works if I connect to my other nexus S's hot spot.
Wifi will not stay connected to allow me to go to play store on any wifi router (home Encore ENHWI-2AN3 firmware version 1.1.3 - Mcdee's open wifi and [email protected]#'s open wifi router.) It will connect - get a blue wifi icon with a few arrows ..... but will go to gray and back to blue and so on ....
Waiting for google to make up its mind about shipping me a replacement.
