Hello all, I have been in the Blackberry world for a few years so I am a little out of touch on WM. I have spent about an hour with the HD2 and I am sold. One thing I noticed is the lack of Wifi Router. I know the European version has it and I would like to know if it is something easily ported to the US version? Thanks for any input and if this is a stupid question I am sorry, just haven't been on the WM scene for a while.
P.S. I know I could use WMWifirouter but I would like to try the HTC app (also help that its free).
I suppose it depends if there is a Sim free version made by HTC.
The version we have in europe is a different model.
If there is a sim free version made, there is nothing to stop you from flashing that ROM to a T-Mobile branded device (in theory).
That should give you all the functions HTC put in.
the o2 uk version doesnt have it either. I shoudnt worry, its readily available.

Sorry, I have searched the forums but could not find it. Could you please give a link to where you can download a cab to enable the wifi router function?

sorry, its installed in cooked roms, never had to find a cab. (if there is a cab) When i said its readily available i didnt actually look for it, my bad. I just know most roms have it.

Wifi Router is part of a pack available at the above link.
I installed it on my TMOUS HD2 and it won't connect with my laptop I verified the wireless settings match but my laptop keeps saying to check the router...
i dunno, won't work for me...

make sure laptop is seeing it as an ad hoc connection, not infrastructure.
Is that a joke? What adhoc? It wouldn't work for me either (LEO). I can not see it from my laptop, no DHCP or static IP with the router SSID forced either.
Nevermind restart fixed all problems and that's really ad hoc!
Hey I have what's called a htc wifi router. Do a search for that. I'm pretty sure I have picked up the .cab from this site. This program works great tho.
im useing the router to send this! thank you much!
We have 3 SGS2 at home and a Billion 7800N modem
There is a recurring problem on my wifes phone where there is no dataflow. I cant even reach the modem. It will just start working all the sudden for a short period then stop again.
Things I have tried.
1. Using it right next to the router
2. have tried using different channel
3. have reset modem
4. made sure sleep policy is on never
5. Update firmware and hard reset phone - no new apps installed - worked at first but now having problems again.
It never loses wifi connectivity....internet just does not work. Turn 3g on...works fine.
What could be the problem?
Only things I can think of
1. Faulty phone
2. Virus? That phone is sometimes used to check out Chinese websites...and I know some of them can be dodgy. I forgot to ask her not to go to any of those sites after the hard reset as trial and error.
3. Not certain but this problem may only started when we updated to 2.3.4.
If need be Ill hard reset AGAIN when XXKG6 is out - I dont want to flash back to 2.3.3 to try

I have the impression, that the Broadcom WiFi drivers of Android are still buggy, because my Asus Transformer's WiFi also isn't very good.
When using a static IP address and setting Google's free DNS 8.8.8.8 as a secondary DNS server (the router as primary), my SGS2's WiFi works best.
Maybe give it a try.
I have the exact setup and tried all the things you mentioned to no avail. It works sporadically after I reset the phone wifi on and off but it won't maintain data connection for long. Although the signal indicator says it is still connected. the billion 7800 works on my wifes sgs and connects without problem to my work htc legend.

If you google for "galaxy s2 wifi no internet", you'll find out, that several SGS2 owners have exactly the same problem.
I all cases it seems to be the router's firmware, that causes this problem. I found two users reporting, that the only solution was to download a new firmware from ...
http://dd-wrt.com
But maybe it helps to drop the speed from 802.11 N to G?
I have the exact same problem and my firmwire on my router is the latest. What I do to fix this problem is just unplug my router and plug it back in. I find that fixes it for me. Post back if that doesn't work

That's why two guys reported, that they had to download a new FW from DD-WRT, which solved the problem for them.
Sorry, that I don't post links ... it were german forums.
I have the exact same problem. You say that the other two S2's work perfectly? If that's the case then it must be a hardware fault. I'm gonna take mine to be fixed or replaced.

Likely ... maybe different firmware?
Yes....my SGS2 and my brothers work fine. When I update....I update all 3 so we are all using the same firmware.
Thats why I believe its a problem specific to 1 phone....not the router (although I did update my router to latest firmware just in case.....same problem)
As a side note - my brother has a microphone echo problem when using a specific gel case. When my wife and I use the exact same case - no problem. I dont know how Samsung build their phones - but its not very consistent.

That's why we have a thread about the "Made in ..."
But that's not only a Samsung problem ... I know that from the Asus Transformer forum.
Ill see where our phones are made if I have time. If anything though, my brother should be the odd 1 out as his was bought in Australia whereas I got the other 2 from UK.
Ill get to the bottom of this....even if I have to keep doing hard reset and trial and error tests. Not being able to use wifi is a huge deal.
Just to confirm, the problem's not only apparent in 2.3.4. My phone has the same problem with 2.3.3. I've sent my phone in for repair now so i'll post my findings here in a week or so. Have you got any further with it?
I sure hope they do fix it somehow....It's becoming increasingly annoying having to flick wifi on and off, downloading apps is the worst. This never happened on mine or my girlfriends htc's.
Anyone able to find a solution for this problem? Just picked up my Galaxy S2 and have the exact same issue Wifi connects, surf the net for about 10 sec, then nothing.. still connected to Wifi and everything.
At work at the moment so can't really play around with the router settings but will try once I get home. Have been looking forward to getting this phone for a while now and to have Wifi issues right off the bat is quite disappointing..
wifi connected no data flow
i had the same problem
i tried different ways no sucess
i tried Set DNS Pro from market
tried different settings
applied different dns
shift from open , custom to google ang keep checking the internet in browser
after few try it works everytime
its to do with assigning ip address in android
thanks
I posted a solution a few weeks back....but i think most people overlooked it....so the solution is
Go to settings>>>>wireless and networks>>>>>wifi settings>>>>hit menu and go to advanced>>>>regulatory domain>>>>change the channel to 14.....thts it....it worked for me on vibrant,nexus one and even on sgs2..hope this helps

Channel 14 is not allowed in most countries ... my german router e.g. doesn't have channel 14, only 1-13.
I had similar issues with my Asus Transformer and found out, that a static IP works best, BUT only if a secondary DNS is assigned too. I used Google's 8.8.8.8
Give it a try. The Broadcom drivers seem to have a bug, when no secondary DNS is assigned.
The "regulatory domain" setting isn't there on my galaxy s2 ;/ Will give the static IP solution a try.

There is nothing wrong with the Wifi module, after trying tens of Roms, I've learned that it's an operating system bug, which was fixed in Miui and Oxygen Roms.
Sending the phone back to warranty will not solve ANYTHING.
What i have read about experiences servicing the phone (in Finland) for the know bugs, they do little or nothing. Waste of time in my opinion...

It is not always a problem related to the phone - sometimes the wireless access point is just not configured properly or it is a netgear/thompson/etc.
I use the Oxygen-ROM and I do not have problems connecting to my routers running dd-wrt for example. On the other hand I cannot connect to a cheap router provided by the ISP of a friend.

but i went to shop where i bought this phone and they tested it there and it does same trick, i even try different secure options on my wlan and my friends wlan and same thing
If it does not work with any ROM and with any wirless access point I suggest you ask for a replacement, this clearly is a hardware-failure then.
Hey guys
Now this is going to sounds really stupid but none the less this is the situation:
I happened to get my hands on a Lenovo Thinkpad Australia version through some IT testing I am doing for a company.
It is not locked down and they want my general feedback.
Problem is, I have no idea what they gave me:
If i go to the about tablet this is the info I am provided:
Model: ThinkPad Tablet
Android: 3.1
Baseband: R3B01
Kernel: 2.6.36.3
Build Number: *blahblah*A310_02_*blahblah
*EDIT* removed system serial number
here is the problem, it has no identification to which version it is. I can tell you it requires a sim card.
The problem is i believe it is very out of date, I try and hook it up to my wireless and it does not seem to work..
No idea why, it is a hidden SSID, is it a compatability issue with this? All info is provided correctly and it can see it when it is saved. Simply wont connect.
Further more, searching the lenovo website is near useless as I do not klnow where the hell the serial number is on this thing./ The one number i entered it said it was wrong *gut instinct says it is right*
As such, I want to simply upgrade my version of the lenovo tablet so I can do some real testing with it. As close to stock as possible, I need the bloody wireless to work (work location so cannot unhide the SSID - company protocol).
After some testing I will most likely wipe it and run a *cleaned version* I guess I need to know if there is any major differences between world versions.
Thanks for your help.. Also is there some all-in-guide?
btw, I know these are stupid questions especially as I been on android since 1.6 and have developed with them. Its just not playing ball this tabled.
Shouldn't post your system serial number per Lenovo. Can't help with anything else. Best of luck.
---------- Post added at 02:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 AM ----------
BTW the build number is more useful than the SN.
I agree with toenail_flicker - should not post the System Serial Number here.
Anyways, since you posted it, I got a quick check and got the following for your device:
Type: 1838
Model: 2EM
IF you need to check it for yourself, check the following links (input the device type and SN):

You had to quote both posts
Lol,
Well I guess the first problem is the wireless, it is hooked up to another WEP access point, it will not connect to a WPA2 access point (hidden or not).
When i say sim card I mean 3g services. I do not need to use it abroad so wireless is fine for its current purpose.
*removed the system build number* as suggested
I have noticed that the version is quite old and no easy means for updating. Is there an advantage to updating it? i.e. major bug fixes?
At the moment the tablet is useless until I can get it hooked up to a WPA2 access point. Is there a known problem?
So can anyone actually tell me which version of thinkpad I have? I have noticed firware version differences for different locations, is there a way to find out which version the AUD uses?
First time for wifi you may have to hand enter everything - I did. Later if you remove the connection it will recognize it and you just need the password.

You have the same type and model number as the OP stated, and you definitely would be using the ROW build.
OPs workaround was to reset to factory setting to make WIFI work. And since you will not be using 3G, this should be a temp. solution for you.
But I would still recommend you have it fixed since you are still under warranty.
Factory reset should set u right. after doing the reset make sure u enter wifi info manually. and that its set for wpa2. aftetwards itll slways pick it up. let us know how it goes so we can help firther if need be. second option would be to apply the update from sd card. good luck!
hey
I will try the factory reset tonight..
hopefully that will solve the issue, I will provide an update when feasible.. prob next monday.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am pretty sure I found a very interesting thing...
First of all you have to know, that i was lucky and got two op2 invites which I both used and so now me and my girlfriend both have a op2 (mine was bought in September, hers was delivered two days ago).
After some hours we both encountered wifi issues. So i started to take a closer look at our wireless network and found only one device registered. So i looked into the device settings of both devices and found they were using the same ip adress... The cause of this behaviour: my router is not able to distinguish between both devices as they seem to have the same mac address - at least that's what the device settings of both devices tell me!
Now am I wrong or is this just not possible (and no, i did not mess around with any mac address spoofer or changing apps)? I did though root both devices and both are running resurrection remix rom.
I found similar issues with the op1 but they seem to be hostname related. My devices both have different hostnames assigned...
Did anyone experience something similar? And there's still the issue that it would be convenient to use both devices in our wireless network at the same time which is just not possible right now. So can you give me an advice what would be the best way to change the mac address of one device manually (i know that's not a "normal" thing to do, but its the only solution i can think of)?
That does seem extremely weird... Have you tried to flash back to stock and compare MAC addresses? I can't remember if they provide the MAC hardware info on the original box along with the serial number. Worse case scenario, you can try to use a new xposed module called "phone id changer" and randomized the MAC address. But I find it almost impossible for two devices to have same MAC addresses out of the box. Especially in your case, of having two devices purchased at different times..

Well then, if we all have the same mac, no reason for not revealing it.

Are you able to verify? @ripv2 : are you running stock OxygenOS on any of the devices?
I am running CM12.1 build by Grarak just like Donald Nice. (could this be an ROM/Kernel issue)
Yes. There might be a similar correlation to what we saw in early builds of Grarak's CM port for the OPT. When several users were experiencing LTE issues with the 2005 model which might have been caused by the phone showing the incorrect model number 2003 or 2001. These numbers might be baked into the build. Im sure Grarak will address this issue as every other CM based ROM most likely has the same issue. For instance, currently im on RR and have the same mac.

This is a weird coincidence. What would cause the mac address to be the same when I thought they were hard coded into the phone?
Does reverting to OxygenOS restore the correct MAC?
don't seem to have the problem here...
Have a similar situation and was hesitant on unlocking my bootrom on the two. Wife got hers a month before I did, and I saw this thread and was not looking forward to this issue.
Just did the fastboot oem unlock, finished resetting device and validated her mac address vs mine, and they are different. I have not loaded any other rom's, so we're both using the latest oxygen OS for this device.
her mac ends in 3C:48, mine ends in DE:FE
I have a feeling it's the ROM that may have done it.. not sure why though

If your using xposed framework you can use an module called Phone ID change.

Sorry for my late reply, had a lot of work during the last days....
My mac is 00:a0:c6:eb:5c:6f, my girlfriend has the same one. So far i didn't revert back to stock (again i need the phone for work) to test it.
I tried the phone changer xposed module and it changed the mac id my phone displayed, unfortunately not the one my router received - so don't bother with that one. I also tried the pry-fi app by chainfire but that ended in connection problems - so no wifi at all...
I might try to flash stock again tonight - but actually i am always a bit worried about phone performance and functionality of my phone when restoring my nandroid backup afterwards (the phone works like a charm atm! Except for the mac id issue of course, so I will definitely restore this nandroid eventually) ...
Reverting to stock fixes mac changes. Have my original mac back. Also had ...5c:6f on cm.

You could try pry-fi for temporary changing the mac:

Same problem. I acquired two phones from different vendors. Both phones have Wi-Fi Mac address 00:a0:c6:eb:5c:6f
How to change Wi-Fi Mac address on OnePlus 2?
ROM: OxySLim
Well, this is weird to say at least, mine has the same address as the rest. It's possible that this is related to the fact we are all using custom rom? is anyone here not rooted? just to check if this has something to do with that.
Solved! - one mac address on two devices !
1. Reboot into recovery,
2. mount system,
Use terminal (adb shell or builtin terminal from TWRP) type in:
3.
Code:
ln -sf /persist/wlan_mac.bin system/etc/firmware/wlan/qca_cld/wlan_mac.bin
4. reboot
