Hello everyone,
My htc touch 2 doesn't find wifi networks on channel 12 & 13.
It's a very strange problem, I tested with a cisco 861-W.
does anyone have the same problem?
All the best
Rom: 1.28.410.5(66092)
Radio:3.49.25.05
Prot:61.42t.25.31w
Hi
Update your radio version to 3.53.25.20. Search in this forum for this radio & install.
Also i read somewhere in this forum, there is cab file to enable 801g or something, try that.

Does anyone know why most of the builds here don't pick up the ACTUAL bluetooth address from the hardware? I installed the same build for me and my wife and both have the same bluetooth address. This prevents us from connect to the car since both have the same address, no matter what phone name I have.
Please help
This is a known issue.Thanks to mdebeljuh you can change your bt and wifi mac address from startup.txt

This patch is included in latest kernels from hastarin and mdjaey

Wow! That was fast and this solved my problem. Thank you very much.
So finaly i succseed with this, its working! With jerpelea's latest rom i can connect to the laptop via ad-hoc, created by windows 7. Need to set static ip adress, and use wep security. If you have quessions, i will help you.
Can you make a wiki? Thnks
Yes, it'd be nice if you wrote some guide, so I could incorporate it into a general wifi-N topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019371 - with giving you credits, of course
I know that your first reaction will probably be hey this has been resolved quite a while ago. Not again??
Well, I have been using NAND builds for a while now, but never got the WiFi MAC address collisions problem resolved. The access points at work keep throwing me, and others, with the famous loop of "searching"----> "connecting"--->"disconnect".
Where I work, the company cellphone is (you guessed…) HTC HD2. And many of us switched to Android… Every now and then, I see that different phones are assigned with the very same WiFi MAC address. This drives the access points crazy and they disconnect phones with identical MACs immediately.
I tried most of the suggested ideas in different threads here, none really helped for my NAND builds. The standard Linux terminal emulator commands simply don't exist in Android.
I explored a bit Tytung's Kernel code and I think I found the reason. Since the Kernel has no access to the original MAC, it has to generate one. It does it by running a CRC32 function over the MSM ID (internal QCOM's modem chip ID), which is unique. But since the IDs of a phone series are sequential, the only actual difference you get is in the last part of the MAC address. E.g., 00:23:76:aa:bb:xx. So you see that all phones have the same prefix, and the only difference is in the xx part. This practically leaves a very small space of 256 numbers. But even worse - because of the CRC32 function, it narrows to an even smaller number of optional combinations… the bottom line is that the WiFi MAC address generated by the Kernel is not unique
Even with latest tytung's kernel r12.4, problem still persists. The only change Tytung did was to switch to HTC allocated prefix 00:23:76. Well, it did help, till all users started switching to new builds based on latest Tytung's Kernels. And collisions started again…
I'm aware that the community can't let everyone choose their own WiFi MAC address. It's un-safe. Nevertheless, till QCOM opens the original MAC address to the developers, there must be a way to add another level of randomization to the number the Kernel generates. Maybe allow the user, through some file, to add a number that will be used in turn for further randomization?
Right now many of us can't use at work the beautiful builds xda community offers just because of that
In some ROMs you can put your original mac address into the calibration file and it works. Of course if you have it written down somewhere

Thanks greg17477.
I looked for the calibration file in few NAND builds with no luck. Any specific ROM you can refer me to? Where should the calibration file be located anyway in case it's included?
In many sense roms you can put your wifi mac address.you can change Mac address if calibration file is in /system/etc.if it is in /proc/calibration you can't change it.another way if you want to use aosp or cm rom is to compile your kernel with your wifi Mac address

bump!
Issue becoming a big nuisance as more and more HD2 users at work switch to Android that uses Taytung's kernel.
tried a different kernel instead?

Interesting. Is the Android build kernel independent?
I'm using MIUI-1.12.23, which uses tytung_r12.4
Which Kernel would you recommend trying instead?
im using r14 of tytungs kernel but there are others available for use

All other kernels have the same issue except Rafpigna's one... but ALL other kernels are better. (no offence Rafpigna... xD )

Hello
Wifi & bluetooth Mac seem nailed (for HD2).
Please follow this topic and help confirm it.

Have you tried any of these? They seem to work great on my Dorimanx ROM with his kernel, which is derived from tytung.
Hi,
can somebody tell me if its possible to change the Wifi Mac Adress on a HTC HD2 running Android??
Regards

Each ROM/build has it's own way of changing the MAC address.
some just require a small txt file placed in a specific location and others require more work. I'm not sure if all ROMs/builds support MAC address change
It's better to look up the answer in the main page of the ROM/build you're using, and ask about it if you don't find any answer.
The problem is that I'm not allowed to place my question in the ROM Threat because I don't have the necessary posts (10 I think) to place it there So I have to spam here to have them
