[Q] Change MAC adr. BT WIFI - HD2 General

Hello
Is there someone who knows how to change the BT and WIFI mac address of this ROM
BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA GINGER 2.3.4 CM7 Honeycomb
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062881
I use this ROM but after that my wife also has an HD2 we have problems with BT in the car and WIFI on our router.

Please need help

I doubt there is a MAC address hardcoded in any ROM. Looks like there is a different problem.

I got the exact same mac on WIFI and BT in both HTC HD2 phones .

Have now tried other ROM´s ,,,,,,, MAC on WiFi and BT address changes depending on the IMMAGE I use ...
Is there an idea for how to change the MAC on BT and WiFi

[SOLVED] HD2 not detected as WiFi router

Hi,
I have encountered a problem. My phone when in router mode is not detected by other devices (tried two laptops and another phone with WiFi). I can use my HD2 to connect to wireless networks, but not to share mobile data via WiFi.
Any suggestions on how to solve the problem?
Thanks
(ROM 1.48 as there is no official update for my region)
This may not help, but I had a similar issue of devices not seeing my wifi router as the network name I chose had a space in it, removing the space by adding an underscore instead allowed devices to then see the network.

It works for me, THANKS !
WOW - it did work for me too! Huge THANKS
Wonder why HTC set defaul network name with a space if it can cause such problems...
you should change the title to [SOLVED] if that is possible. I bet there are some more people who have probs using that feature.

The HD2 only uses ADHOC connection when being used ad a WiFi router and if your Desire HD does not except ADHOC connections then you will not be abale to use the WiFi from your HD2. I do not know if the Desire HD will except a ADHOC connection or not, I will let you do the research on that. But I doubt that it does as ADHOC connections are primarily a computer to computer type connection.

[Solved] Android and WiFi

I've tried several builds:
Darkstone Froyo
DarkStone FroyoStone
mattc Froyo with Sense
mattc Froyo without Sense
shubcraft
Xcelsior
mccm v1.7
WiFi just does not work at home. It'll connect, but I can't actually browse anything. It comes back immediately as a "page not found" error. Today I took my phone around town specifically to test WiFi on other networks. It worked perfectly on two open networks. There were no issues at all. It works at my office as well.
My network at home is wired as:
Internet --> DLink Gamer Lounge (wired router with special features) --> Linksys WRT54G wireless router
The DLink has DNS and DHCP services. The Linksys has none and is assigned a static IP.
My network at work is wired as:
Internet --> DLink Gamer Lounge --> everything else including a Linksys WRT54G setup just like at home
There is a Windows Server setup to take care of DNS and DHCP. The Linksys has same setup as at home.
At home, I disconnected the DLink, enabled DHCP on the Linksys, then my Android phone worked on wifi just fine.
I reconnected wired router and reset all settings. Android wifi doesn't work anymore.
I don't think my wired router is incompatible. I'm wondering if the wireless router not being the DHCP agent has anything to do it. Other wireless devices connect fine like this. My phone in WinMo connects fine. My friends' iPhones connect fine. My friends' native Android phones connect fine. Every wireless device (except HD2 Android) connects to the network and works just fine.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Is there a route tracing program for Android? Or something that will show me all the IP information (including DNS)?
Update:
DarkStone1337 said:
Because you have no DHCP on your wireless router, your IP address and DNS server and default gateway settings aren't being set by Android. No idea why. You'll need to do this manually in Android by pressing the windows button in the wifi network settings and setting the right values from there.

I just used an app to check IP settings. IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS, and everything are being set properly (there is a DHCP server on network, just not on WiFi router). I tried to setup a static IP address and other settings. Whenever I try to connect that way, it gets to "Obtaining IP address" and then fails, cycling through the whole process. Is it possible the code for IP stack (or IP Tables) in these builds of Android are not complete?
Update 2:

Not an app, but using ADB logcat is sufficient enough.
If you have adb set up then follow this: https://sites.google.com/site/androidhowto/how-to-1/save-logcat-to-a-text-file

Just read about ADB (Android Debug Bridge) briefly. I think this will be a bit out of my league. I'm not that familiar with Android / linux. I'll post in the other thread asking if someone else more skilled can grab one. If not, I'll see about trying to figure it all out this weekend.

On all of them, WiFi just does not work. It'll connect, but I can't actually browse anything. It comes back immediately as a "page not found" error. Today I took Matt's Froyo with Sense around town specifically to test WiFi on other networks. It worked perfectly on two open networks (Quizno's and McDonald's). There were no issues at all.
My network was wired as
Internet -- Wired router (with special features) -- wireless router
The WiFi router was basically treated like a switch with its DHCP turned off. I disconnected the wired, enabled DHCP on the wireless, then my Android phone worked on wifi just fine.
I reconnected wired router and reset all settings. Android wifi doesn't work anymore.
I don't think my wired router is incompatible. I'm wondering if the wireless router not being the DHCP agent has anything to do it. Other wireless devices connect fine like this. My phone in WinMo connects fine.

I just want you to know I'm in the same situation as you. My router is a Belkin Wireless N router (WPA2 encryption). I get a valid IP address and I can ping the router but no DNS or access past the router. There was an earlier version of an Android build (I think a MattcFroyo) that worked with my wifi set-up. But I need BT headset support and the Darkstone build seems to be the only one that reliably works with my BT devices. (BlueAnt T1 & Motorola EQ7)
Please let me know if you find a solution that works!
Thanks.
Sept 4 Update. The only version that I have found that provides both Wi-fi connectivity and BT head set is the Shubcraft version 1.4 for my router configuration. Version 1.5 doesn't and neither do the latest Mattc and Darkstone builds.
Hell, I can't even get my Wifi working at all. Darkstones V1... Wifi just says "Error". Have the latest zImage, and everything. :/

jinhenry, I'll let you know.
Shushunmire, are you using HD2Froyo or FroyoStone (clean or Sense)? Also be sure to post in Darkstone's thread that relates to the build. I know HD2Froyo v2 was giving error for wifi, but his latest update fixes that.
I tried various market apps to do network diags on the phone. All they offered was basic ping. When trying to ping anything on the wifi, it just fails right away. It's like it's not even seeing the network and just saying no network around. I even tried to ping the phone's own local IP and it failed. I tried looking for a traceroute type app, but there was none.
I installed Cirtex app. On cell connection, it pulls up the IP info of the wifi (but cell data works):
Device IP Address:{cell IP}
Interface name:/usb0(usb0)InetAddress:/{Ip of wired router, DHCP server, DNS server}
Interface name:rmnet0(rmnet0)Inetaddress:/25.1.238.x (don't know)
Interface name:lo(lo)InetAddress:/127.0.0.1
On wifi connection, it gives error:
Can not get te IP Address for the device. (errors their's)
Interface name:eth0(eth0)InetAddress:/{correct wifi ip}
Interface name:usb0(usb0)InetAddress:/{correct wifi ip}
Interface name:lo(lo)InetAddress:/127.0.0.1
If I use a static IP, and set the gateway to the actual network gateway (wired router, DHCP server, DNS server), phone tries to connect until it gets to the "Obtaining IP" stage, then it fails and cycles over. If I set the gateway to the wifi router (which is no more than a wifi access point) it will connect.
To repeat cause I know you have a lot going on: other wifi devices work on this network fine (using static or dynamic ips) including windows laptops, mac laptops, xbox, Wii, iphones, winmo phones (this one even), and even other android phones.
If I set the wifi router as the gateway (plug internet directly into it and turn on DHCP on wifi router), everything works fine. I don't even change its static IP.
Hopefully some of this will help. :/ The more I play around with it, I get the feeling the IP stack is the cause.
I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM!!!! my lil bro got an htc hd2 as well n we got them the same day n when i flashed android on his and mine... his wifi was working while mine was not and i have tryed so many different builds but nothing solves the problem...it searches but at the end it says unable to scan networks....anyone plz help i really need wifi
p.s we both are on....

have you tried setting the router to use G only? i had an issue with the newer builds on a d-link 635 that was the same, it woudl work then suddenly woudnt work at all, rebooting the phone didnt help, changing the router to use G only instead of mixed seemed to fix the issue
Here's my issue. On my phone I could connect to wireless fine, my two sons liked Android on the hd2 so much that we picked up 2 more hd2's, that's where the problem started. Any one of the phones can work on wireless just fine... but try and connect any of the others and while they do connect, they don't work. Any of them.
It's almost as if they are seen as the same device or something. Some kind of unique id is missing or something.

Didn't help Thanks for suggestion though.
unless it has changed recently, all HD2-android builds are using the same MAC-address. So this could very well be your problem.

I'm using FroyoStone (w/Sense).
And yeah, will do that. I just figured it wasn't working at all until I saw your post.
I use currently mattc 1.5b w/sense and had (have) the same problem with
DHCP is on. I allways got the status "Obtaining IP address" and nothing happen.
I played a little bit with the static IP settings...I set DNS 1 equal the the gateway entry and then wifi works....but only static.
I think this is a router issue...I use Speedport W 502V.
I doubt it's a router problem since all other devices work perfectly.
same issue, please give your attention, developers, thanks.
I've had the exact same problem with my Wi-Fi using several Android builds. Tried static IP and every possible setting I could find and solved it by add the Mac-adress in my router setting. (192.168.1.1) and now it works perfectly. I'm now using shubCRAFTv1.3
Hope you can fix your problem this way. Cheers.

I'm having issues with Wifi too. I'm also currently using mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.5b. My problem isn't that the phone doesn't connect via wifi... it does. The problem is that after it connects the connection seems to go dead/times out after about a minute or two.
For example, after installing the build and running through the setup, i connect to wifi, then sign in with my gmail account. This all works as it should. Then by the time I want to sign in to my facebook/twitter accounts during that same setup sequence, it no longer can connect to the internet. My suspicions of the connection having a "timing out"-like occurrence was then confirmed when I turned off wifi, and switched it back on. Everything would work and sync for about a minute, then it would cut out again (but it would still show a full strength connection via wifi). It's a bit of a strange one.
I used Energy's build before trying this one, and WiFi worked flawlessly. So I'm assuming its not my router, but something up with my device and/or its settings.
Thanks in advance for any tips/help.

What do you mean by you added your phone's MAC address to the router? Where exactly in the router? Guessing you mean you set your phone to use a static IP, then set your router's DHCP client to always assign that IP to the phone?

I had problems before with a similar setup, and I can tell you that NOT having the DHCP on the router (gateway out) is the issue. You have to remember that "these HD builds" are still in development with WIFI issues still being ironed out.
My advice, try using fixed IP assigning (on wireless router) using the phone's wifi adapter mac address.
Right now your phone is going to the wifi router who will be sending packets to the DHCP server and back to wifi router so that it goes out. Also usually, there tends to be a conflicts because some DHCP clients just assume that the server for DHCP is the gateway too.
or... Check that your DHCP server (if another machine) is doing internet sharing, in case devices try to use its address as a gateway, which will then go out anyway through the wifi router.
The fact you report may be in my oppinion, useful for the devs (eventually), but dont get high hopes for this to be on the immediate to-do list

2 HD2's kicking each other off WiFi.

WiFi works perfectly fine until we are both using it on our hd2's. It seems our phones keep kicking each other off. We don't have this problem while in Windows though. We have different Android versions also. Hers is darkstones and mine is subtract. Don't think that matters though. Must have something to do with the network names or something like that confusing the router. Any ideas?

I think it's because most (all?) the builds have the same MAC address.
if you are using the same builds it will be because of the mac address being the same as mentioned above, if you look it will probalby be something like 11:22:33:44:55 on each hd2
i know the desire hd build uses a different mac address
Most of the Desire/N1 based kernels use the MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55, so to the router, both of your HD2s will appear to be the same device.
I had this issue, so changed the kernel on my HD2 to hastarin #4.1 which is an Evo-based kernel which uses the device's real MAC address, so they appear correctly as different devices.
CRAP !!!!! is there any way to change one of these? If not, I guess o have to go research what to replace one of them with, which sux

Ok thats crap. I install the new modules, and wifi works fine, on and off, but after i reboot the phone, wifi error.
Any other way to get different mac on each phone? or atleast one, with everything working normaly as it is now with both builds in use?
OK, i had to install some app and run a script and seems to be all good

Maybe if you assign a static ip adress to each of your phones in your routers address range (in the phones wireless advanced menu) it will stop your router trying to assign an address. Also your router may have an option to turn off mac adress filtering.

ip address is different from a mac address, he will still have a problem connecting both hd2s. and that's not how mac address filtering works. will still have a conflict
Is there a fix for this yet? Does any Android build read the wifi MAC address correclty from the HD2?
The only fix so far is run different kernels. That's what I've been doing.

See this post if you want 2 of the same kernels with 2 different mac address. They are hard coded in, but its the best solution for now, for running 2 of the same sets on the same kernels.

[Q]Wifi Problem with NO-Sense builds (Android)

Hi guys, I'm new to HD2, I'm an Android user and obviously I've installed NAND android in my HD2!
Now a question, I've searched a lot without having responses:
Why if I use a SENSE rom, ALL works fine, BUT if I use a NON.Sense Rom, wifi will not work???
The problem is that is connects (says connected) BUT do not have data....if I open for example the browser it says he want data connection, also sometimes it starts downloading the page and freezes data at the just beginning...
tried 3 different radios until now...
Really dunno what to do!
Can anyone help me???
It appears quite a few of us are having this same problem. I've been dealing with this for months. I finally just gave up and stopped thinking about wifi.
is it possible that many users have a problem like that an there is no explanation about it?

I also have the same issue. I see that I do have an IP, gwy, dns, etc, etc.... but still not working. I'm using MDJ 2.1, but for me, it is not working on any NAND build =(
could it be RadioROM related??
I dunno, I've tested 2.15.50.15, 2.11.50.6, 2.08.50
and in all of them, I have this iussue...
the strange thing is that works on sense build and not in non-sense builds... this does not have any sense!! lol!
And I talk having tested at least 8 roms with 3 different kernel each...with ppp and rmnet...

In what NAND sense build you had it working?
every sense I've tried:
Frankinstine Droid v1.0
-=MDJ Revolution HD v.2.2=-
Raidroid HD Sense v1.1
and the one I'm building from a desire one...
all work smooth and without problems...with MDJ kernel or Prj one...
It has nothing to do with nand. I have the same issue. Even rajko and roniez could not solve it. I solved it myself...by changing of router !
Try with another AP, and it should work.

In my case I have tried different routers and is not the problem. I connect at home and the office, all without success.
Well, it's working today after I tried something, but I have had it working for only half hour or so:
Change the wifi channel to 11
I'm using the latest mdeejay build with wpa2 authentication.
Your issue is different than us. Your channel problem would give you ping problem between your phone and AP. Here, I have a perfect ping to router, but crappy ping to any web adress. It means that it's a routing issue from my specific router wan access to my phone. That's why switching router works...

Nope, actually, the behavior is the same for me, I have perfect pings to the router, but unable to ping the outside. As I said, I switched channels and the issue went away... for a couple of minutes. Now it is back. I'm trying with more than one AP, as I'm a network engineer I have access to several ones, and the problem is visible in all of them.
I've tried to use static ip,to not sleep, set router and phone to th same channels, but SOMETIMES it uses data...
mostly the strange thing is that it loads (some) mobile pages, but NEVER a desktop like page...
even the market does not connect...
on Sense it is PERFECT...
does this make any sense? What differs the wifi in sense and non-sense roms??
its kinda weird that I am stuck to only sese builds If I want to use a wifi network...

no one have a response? :-(

Nope, not at all. Personally, I have switched to another router again, and it works flawless. So my phone is just unable to connect to my ISP's stock modem/routeur, but only it (for now).

still no possible any connection with routers with non-sense builds...
Just wondering, what is your WIFI MAC ADDRESS on your phone? you can check that out in
Gingerbread
Settings -> About Phone -> Status
Froyo
Settings -> About Phone -> Hardware
Make sure you turn on the WIFI first before checking.
If your MAC is 00:00:00:00:00:00
You know where your problem is.
Newer Kernels such as MDJ's 10.x generates a MAC address based on your IMEI I think, therefore the MAC Address is always the same. However older Kernels do not, and they leave the MAC Address as 00:00:00:00:00:00 which cannot be used by certain routers.
HI thx for the reply
I always use MDJ kenrels or the prj one! So the mac is like 00:90:4c24:84:EC
It's always the same for sense and non sense ones...
Dunno...
up...
seems a strange behaviour:
It says connected (on the phone), I obtain ip adress from router, mac adress is "normal", but on router says "NOT CONNECTED" (even if on the phone I'm connected....)
Would it be a router problem or a phone problem?
The strange is that with same MAC and same IP, on Sense IT WORKS!!
Install terminal emulator, then do
getprop net.dns1
getprop net.dns2
or if you have adb.exe and you know how to use it, do:
adb devices
adb shell
getprop net.dns1
getprop net.dns2
Then tell me what you get.
Hi, thx for the reply
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Windows\System32>adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
# getprop net.dns1
192.168.1.1
#getprop net.dns2
#
This is the output from adb....
first one is the ip of my router (on wich I result disconnected...)
I've tried so many times to task29, reflash HSPL, reflash Magrld, android, recovery...boot android from sd...
even from sd, If I use a sense build is ok, if is NOT-sense, it won't work..
I'm so confused
EDIT:
just for comparing, on my Milestone, wifi works flawlessy, and the output is:
dns1
192.168.1.1
dns2
8.8.4.4

WiFi Not working: WEP Security, Hidden SSID

Hello everyone!!
I installed NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.8 ROM in my HTC HD2, everything works just perfectly, but when I try to access the wireless at work that has the SSID hidden and password protected with WEP encryption the wireless doesn't work at all, it says: "Not in range, WEP protected"
I have configured the network manualy, with static IP Address, Gateway, Net Mask, and DNS (all required to be able to connect to the network)
I have searched alot in google and in this Forum, but I failed to get a solution to my problem, I have installed programs like "Wifi Advanced", "WifiConnector", "Hidden SSID"... But none of them solved my problem.
When I had Windows Mobile 6.5 installed everything worked just fine, but since I moved to Android I failed everytime to connect to the wireless.
My System:
- HTC HD2 (bought new, unbranded)
- NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.8_NAND_(Android-2.3.4)
- Radio Leo 2.15.50.14
- MAGLDR_CWM_Recovery_v3.0.2.5_for_NexusHD2_135M
- HSPL 2.08
No one can help ?
This is really anoying
Am I the only person having this problem ?
No one have any idea how to solve this ??
Please help!!
Hi SmileXPT,
This is a irritating problem indeed. I use to have the same issue on some SD and NAND builds before, and the reason was the security settings of my router + MAC address filtering was enabled. It used to be WEP too, but nowadays it's advisable to use atleast WPA or WPA2 since it is more secure.
You could check if the router or accesspoint has MAC address filtering enabled. This means that the MAC address of your HD2 isn't in the whitelist of the router. In some Android builds the MAC address isn't unique, or the kernel isn't stable, for example: PPP is faster than RMNET but can drop out, RMNET is more stable but slightly slower.
You could also try Pongster's "HyperDroid-CM7-v2.1.0" build. I use it daily with a stable wifi connection for Whatsapp. I never had a dropout with the connection.
But what I wonder is:
- does wifi work @ other places?
- does your HD2 see other accespoints in the list?

Thank you very much for your answer!
I know WPA and WPA2 are more secure... but because the network I'm trying to access is of my Company, I can't change the settings of it... The MAC Address filtering is not active.
I'm going to try the build that you suggested and I will let you know if worked.
Thanks again for your time!
Thanks mister.halfblood, the "HyperDroid-CM7-v2.1.0" really works very well
Now I don't have any problem with the wireless
The only problem is... that I don't like the default theme is too dark...
Thanks again!

Hi SmileXPT,
you're welcome, no problem!
I use to have the same NAND build on my HD2. Also have a look at the latest GPS fix from Tytung's thread here.
It will for sure help you out getting a better and faster signal lock.
If you would like to change the theme I advise you to check out some skins for ADW, a lot of them are free to download on the market.
Well, I'm glad all has worked out for you! Have a nice weekend!
Peace!
