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!

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.

RAFDROID is also a sense build, we want it to work on all builds, stock and CM
hey everyone, I LOVE cm7 and stock android, but I use my phone to tether more than anything else and I need a solid tethering solution. My problem is that Wireless Tether app doesn't work with CM7 (at least last time I tried it) and the built in tether doesn't seem to work for me, (broadcasts but I don't get any internet connection)
Does anyone know of a way to Fix wireless tether app or why the built in one isn't working for me?
use barnacle tether, its free. but if the default settings arent working then go into the barnacle settings and click the "skip-wpa supplicant" or something like that. if it didnt work the first time it should work then
Thanks! I'll try that
I use the built in tether quite often on CM7. I am running rc3 right now and haven't had a chance to test it out but it has worked on the last 4 nightlies I've run.

the reason why the built in tether does not work for you is because you either used a wireless tether app or you have one installed. what you have to do is you must uninstall all wireless tether apps you have and then you must reflash your mod and obviously reboot once you do that it will be working for you. trust i just had this problem and i did a lot of research on it and i actually figured this out today and it worked. so give it a try and let me know how it goes. ^_^
would love to say this is the problem but it isnt
has something to do with dhcp, i can connect wirelessly to the phone np but wont get an internet connection because the phone decides to flake out and not assign an ip address for my laptop.
I tried to connect it earlier and it didnt work but i left it connected. I walked away, came back 10 minutes later and finally got an ip address and internet on my laptop. so either it just takes its sweet time assigning an ip or its tempermental
all good here
hi,
of no real help, but I am using CM7 stable and mine works without issue.
CM7 Final here and it works fine for me. Like others suggested, try wiping and reflashing.

Hi
I have weird problem, I can connect to my home network (WPA2) and it works fine. When i want to connect to open wifi, I connect, however browser doesn't work, market etc. Other not secured wifis work. I know that the not working on HD2 wifi is working on my iPod. Do you have any reason why is that? My rom is imilkas sense.
refrrrresh!
which imilkas sense rom? he has many available
what router is it? b/g/n ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963521
This rom, however it didn't work as well with all sense 3.0 roms. I don't know what router it is, because it's school router and i have no ability to check it.
buuuuuuuuuuuump!
anybody can help?
try a differnet rom
Refresh, changed ROM few times, still doesn't work, now i use Rafdroid, before I used some sense 3.0 ROM however even before it didn't work. Once I found wifi i was looking for but after phone restart it disppeared. Do you know what may cause that/how to fix it?
No ideas, anyone?
Is the wifi working with the windows mobile stock rom ???
I had only once with a rom a wifi problem, after installing another kernel is was over.
Most likely that you need to go to a specific address to get a cookie.
I don't know if it worked on WM because just as i bought it, I changed to android. Now it works on Cyanogen however i still don't know how to make it work on any Sense rom
I'm trying to share 3G network to my laptop via bluetooth, but I can't find any guide to do it.
Any suggestion for me? Could it be or not?
another information, my tether network in Hero with ROM elelinux 2.3.4 's not work, the window required driver but it couldn't find.

Well it all depends on what kind of rom you running. If you are running an AOSP Rom like CM6 or CM7 then yes it is possible. If you are running a Sense roms Then no. I do not know about the Salsa sense one. Still need to test that one out.
But download wireless tether for root users. In the settings you can set it to use BT and not Wifi.
If you done that and then turn of tethering. Well then you can hook your device up with your PC/mac. If you done that, In windows it is called, connect to accesspoint. On mac, Connect to network. and then its done.
The big + on BT over wifi. it uses less battery and when it is not in use it does not use battery at all.
PS: This is more a question for the Q and A then development..
Ok with Salsa sense it works to So I am a happy dude.

thanks man, I'll try to do it in my best .
Hi out there,
I really like the ROM´s (HD2) of TBD and used 2.6 for a while. Unfortunally the Hotspot will not work. It´s seems to me that they removed the "original" hotspot and implemented barnacle. My Motorola XOOM will not find any hotspot When I turned on the hotspot from the shortcut menue, my XOOM see the hotspot and try to connect but can´t get an IP ... I installed an ICS dev from SD-card and it worked without any problems. My XOOM worked with the hotspot of the Desire (stock) my wife owns. I can´t use an ICS, better to say I don´t want in the moment, because it´s really hard to sync all the data I need from my pc to my XOOM and to my phone. And I don´t want to use clouds in the moment ...
Dear all the hard working developers out there ... please please please think while you are developing things about the user(s). I worked in the software industrie for many years and I know that a lot of projects are running without an idea what the end user will think about that.
I try to find a ROM that will fit my needs, sync with Outlook/Exchange, working as a hotspot for my XOOM, running fast and stable, and last not least looks quite good ...
So Barnacle isn't working for you? You selected to skip WPA supplicant correct?
