I am trying to find a way to change names for several android running devices (all kitkat 4.4.2). They all appear as android-{some value} within my router.
In the past this was under device info or developer options. Amy idea where this has been moved to?

You can do it in TricksterMOD, but I don't know if there's a non-root way of doing it available still.
Why not just assign the ip to the device through the router and then you know for sure what it is?

The actual app from Optus works a treat, but the widget just says "There was an error displaying your usage". Anyone else having trouble with it?
Same problem here. Nfi how to fix.
No luck here either.
If it actually worked, took up less space on the screen (maybe 4 icon spots or less instead of 8!!!), and usage was updated more regularly (delayed up to 24hrs tsch...) then it would be perfect.
But alas, it fails. Still, I keep the app on my homescreen.
Not sure what issues you guys are having, im running Version 1.0(1) and it works fine!
do you know by any chance the link to download this app?

Have you tried the widget, not just the app? Cause it's the widget that doesnt work for us (should display the usage but errors).
Also I think theres only 1 version out atm.

Luckily I dumped it before firmware (CSC) update, because that removed all the optus apps.

No worries.
Sorry I wasn't quite clear in my wording...
I meant I dumped the optus app before I upgraded firmware.
I flashed to JFB, then JFF, then JG1. I can't notice many improvements... In fact my phone is a bit more laggy at JG1 (but I have more apps installed so I presume it's that).
I would flash to JG3 but... I don't wanna have to restore all my settings and data again... (done it about 5 times).
I wouldn't mind having a copy of original AUS firmware for safety reasons... or at least the CSC (contains all the carrier specific info).
It's doing the same thing for me. Curses.
ahh common problem I see. wonder how this stuff is logged...

We should complain to optus... maybe?
BTW optus owner singtel, has various widgets for their customers which look way better...
Hey guys, quick 2 Optus-related questions. Switched from 3 to them when I bought my Galaxy S yesterday.
1) How can you find out your account number? I've registered a username and password for using the My Account app, but it wants an Account Number that it states will be on my bill, the first of which I obviously won't be receiving for a while...
2) Is there a backup of the stock Optus firmware (JF3) including all the pre-loaded apps just in case any of us ever need to return the phone under warranty to load it back to its factory settings and firmware?
Cheers!
1) It's annoying you don't get it when you first sign up, but it's written on your first bill (pro-rata which is only a few days).
Apparently you can also call up optus and get it off customer service, however I didn't know this so I just waited.
2) No there isn't a proper flashable dump, unfortunately. If you do decide to flash your firmware (it's worth it if you can't wait for official updates.. which are very slow).

Yep, same here.
Well, I flashed a newer firmware but now I don't have mobile internet since the APN settings need to be set. =(
Where can I find the settings to use, or is there some way to get it to find them automatically?

Aha, found them thanks to the awesomeness of Ausdroid!
http://ausdroid.net/apns/
^ use those to find the APNs for all aussie networks once you've flashed a new firmware. Make sure you have wifi turned off when you enter the info, and once the settings are in press menu -> save and within a few seconds the 3G icon in the notification bar appeared.
Something has gone very wrong with my GPS/location. "My Location gets updated, weather updated as well but it always shows as Denver, I live on the other side of the country.
At first I thought it was ROM related. This is still happening with over 4 different roms, Energies, Miris, including the official T-Mobile versions too. I have tried all the various methods found in the searches but it still does not change, just Denver. What can it possibly be? I have run out of possible solutions to try. Please help?
And as a last resort, I may have to keep it at official stock and bring it in to T-Mobile to have them look at it. I used hspl3 to unlock it, do I need something to re-lock it?

If you click on the clock it should take you to the World Clock settings. Make sure "My Location" is checked. You probably have that unchecked and Denver checked. Denver is one of the default locations.
Yeah I tried that. My Location is enabled. I set time/date/location at the world clock and the windows one in the start/setting/. I got both of it showing time for CST, but when I update weather, Denver weather shows up. What is strange is, as I am traveling across town, location does not change at all.

Probably a network issue. Call T-Mo.
Another oddness popped up with my NC tonight. Several widgets just up and vanished. Were showing as a box that said "Problem loading widget" I checked to make sure I had not loaded them to the SD card cause I know that will cause them to fail. I had not. So I uninstalled them and reinstalled them but the widgets still would not show in the add widget list.
I would really not like to have to start over with a factory reset/data wipe. I can if that is the only solution. Anyone have any thoughts on this? How to fix it? or is it just a time to start over thing? i do realize that since we are outside the default that oddness happens but things were running so smooth
Oh I have mine running CM7.2
Not normal to happen this for sure.
For start, check if the normal applications that had these widgets, if they are working fine.If yes, then you should just put the widgets again and make some tests by rebooting your NC.
If after the reboot still everything is there, than maybe there was some glitch and no reason to worry about.
Found it. Looks like while shuffling thru the settings I clicked install to SDcard as a default and so a couple got installed there. Switched it back to auto , reinstalled and all is well.

This happened to me this morning with Music(!) on CM9. I deleted the failed widget and created a new one, and all is fine. The new widget is different than the old one, so perhaps there's been an update I didn't notice....

When I connect to wifi my Nexus 10 gets identified as "android-55b14d7c2daeba9". On the other hand when my son's iPad connects to wifi it gets identified as "Nicks iPad". I'd like to have my Nexus 10 to be named "Jerryps Nexus 10". I think I have looked at every setting possible and don't see a way to name the device. I've searched in vain. Does anyone know how to handle this?
Solution = I just used an app called "change hostname". Worked/works perfectly.

It is quite easy actually, well not actually changing the name, but making it appear to have.
This works on windows ..
Where you see "Nexus 10" connected as a media device, right click and rename ... Done ..

How is that an answer to my original question? I may as well put a p-touch label on the back.
Try this: Settings>Wi-Fi>Settings (button in top right corner)>Wi-Fi Direct>Rename Device (top right corner again)

Doesn't work, i'm wondering the same thing

I mis-red your post, excuse me ..
Sorry for trying to help you ..
So now here is your answer ...
Learn more about android, learn to use adb, learn to use terminal, learn to edit and change the hostname of your device , if you want to do it the complete way.
Or a 5 second search on google ...

Don't know whether you can do it on stock android, but I'm CM you can change the android hostename in developer options. (To enable those tap the build number a few times in about phone).

4.3 became available yesterday and seems to have installed without a problem, but I haven't really noticed any real improvements yet.
There is now a "Reading Mode" - does anybody know what it does or how it can be set up?
Also, some apps that were running before while being hidden in Notifications, have now become visible? Even when I go in to their options and tick the box to hide the icon, they are still there?
Had 4.3 on T-Mobile for a month now.
It's a lot smoother.
Still getting reboot issue whih is deffo down to the Battery.
Will need to get replaced by Geek Squad.
