Look here http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...nge-permanent-mac-address-on-my-android-phone, you need to have root. Haven`t done this myself though. Good luck.

Please, tell us if you get WiFi working with a different MAC address.
I tried and I wasn't able to auth.

You can change your nexus 4 MAC address with a rooted device and the app called MAC Spoofer (root) (you can find it at google play)

I'm not a dev btw, just curious, sorry about bringing your hopes up
I searched some here as well as elsewhere, because I've read somewhere, a while ago something about changing the designated IP adress of the phone.
It sounds to me your router is try to give the phones the same IP. You could check the router for that. I'd first try and give each MAC adress a designated IP (a different one ofc).
Damn, I'm sure there's a post somewhere here about this, just can't find it...
Just found this:
http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8360637
In short: it's the MAC adress which is the same on the phones. You could try different build, but start with the mentioned thread first
This must be it:
"The only fix so far is run different kernels. That's what I've been doing."

Thanksssssssssssssssssssss
I really appreciate your efforts
as long as there is a solution somewhere here i will try to find it
Good!
Always willing to help
I surely hope it'll work!
I'm sure the problem is that you both use the same Mac address. Maybe the new desire hd & z use the original Mac address. So you both use the same android build and also use wifi

hi
are u have that file for fixing mac address?
if u have it upload here .that link have problem
To do this, you need superuser app and terminal. You also need to know your true wireless mac address.
1) open terminal and type su
2) type ifconfig eth0 hw ether [mac address]
This should change your mac address, but you have to do this every time you reboot.

by this way can i change mac address from 00:90:4c:c5:00:34 to 00:11:22:33:44:55 ?
and i do that and any happening?
If you return it back to 00:11:22:33:44:55 will return that mac address. If there's 2 people with hd2 and an android rom will encounter a conflict because both will have 00:11:22:33:44:55.

Thanks for that cma. Is it possible to make this into a script which could then perhaps be run at startup?
I don't know how this could be done at startup because you need wifi activated first before running it.

Can you write how we must put the wifi mac address;
Do we need [ ] and : between the numbers; I am trying with both ways,but nothing changes

[Q] MAC address change after flash

Hi all,
*
To my work, I can access to the WIFI by giving my MAC address. I gave my MAC address, and ok, I had access.
However, I flashed the rom CloudyG3 and following this, no access to WIFI... I've realized that my MAC address had changed (and I saw I 'wasn't alone in this case) ... So I did a new request for an access with the new MAC address, and it doesn't work ...
*
I used the application Wireless mac address change to replace the current MAC address with my old address and I regain access to the corporate network ...
*
So is there anyone could help me to find my old MAC address? I tried to reflash my phone, it does not change ... I tried to pass on the Rom OptimusG3, the MAC address remains on the new ...
*
Thank you in advance for your help
Mine does the same thing and I cannot get a answer on how to fix the wifi mac address change.
Flash with my Nandroid backup... unsuccessfully...

[Guide] Spoof/change Xperia mac address

This guide is for users who want to change their device mac address. Mac address blocking can be a problem in public WiFi. Where the administrator can block your access to the internet using a mac filter !
The mac spoof apps on the play store wont work with xperias
Mac address handling varies with OEMs. So the trick which works on other devices, wont work on Xperias
This guide supports all Xperia devices (Zl /Z /Z1 /Z2 /Z3) on the latest KITKAT version (4.4.4)
Step 1
Copy the follwing from / data / etc
wlan_macaddr0
wlan_macaddr1
wlan_macaddr2
wlan_macaddr3
Step 2
Paste these files at /system/etc/firmware/wlan
Step 3
There will be files such as
macaddr0
macaddr1
macaddr2
macaddr3
Now rename all the above files to some other name. Like "macaddr0p" and so on..
Step 4
At /system/etc/firmware/wlan
You need to rename the files you have already copied
wlan_macaddr0 to macaddr0
wlan_macaddr1 to macaddr1
wlan_macaddr2 to macaddr2
wlan_macaddr3 to macaddr3
Edit the above files using text editor to the preferable mac address you wish to have and then REBOOT !. This is permanently change your mac address
Be careful while editing the mac address. Use numerals and first few alphabets till " f ". Otherwise the mac adress will change to 01:00:00:00:00:00 and WiFi might not work.
