[Q] Changing Mac address

Hi there
I was wondering if there's a way to emulate another mac address instead of using the default mac of the NIC integrated in the TP. Tried finding sth in my TP's registry and also googled up with no success.
Any suggestion?

Sorry for being nosy, but WHY do you want to do this? I can't come up with one good reason to do it. And I am not trying to flame you either.

My university's wlan filters devices by mac address, and I can register only one device to the network. This means no wifi on my TP but only on my PC, unless I register to the network with my TP data and emulate it's mac address on my PC .

Oh ok. Makes sense hehehe.
Try a different ROM and then try those tweaks? Maybe that works.

[Q] caller ID matching to contacts - please help

Hello,
New to the forum, hello and thanks to all!
I'm Running a Captivate with Cyanogen Mod 7.1
and I am seeing that the incoming caller ID number has to exactly match the phone number stored in the contact (all digits) for the contact matching to work correctly (for received calls and SMS)
I would like to limit the matching to 8 digits, like many traditional cell phones out there. The problem is that in my country in some situations I need to dial the numbers differently from what the network reports for incoming calls.
With ES File Explorer , I modified the /system/build.prop file , adding the line “ro.phone.min_match=8” but it still does not work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160343
The file was modified successfully, the change is still there, but it does not work. Maybe I have to do it differently, with the adb tool but I really don´t know how. Or maybe it will not work with Cyanogen??
Could anybody please give me some guidance on how to do this ?
Thank you very much!
Gonzalo

Ok, after some investigation of the source code:
This does not work with Cyanogen Mod. It has a completely different caller id-to contact code, so that method will not work.
Gonza

Well, does anybody know how to change that behavior?
Since the Nokia S40 days, I'm used to see caller ID matched to the 8 last digits of my contacts. And this has been a major annoyance on CM7 to me, to the point I'm nearly compiling AOSP to extract the original app...

Did anybody discovered how to solve this issue? any progress?
This is the only annoyance I have with CM7.
Thanks,
Marcelo

same for me! any solution?

Unfortunately there is no solution to this.
My brother and I , we looked at the source code, and after a couple of hours of searching we found the routines. Its easy to modify, but then you need to build everything again from scratch.
I dont know how to do that but my brother does, so he tried to do it for me but it took ages to download all the code, and the donwloads were interrrupted etc etc.
End of the story, he could not do it. It can be modified, but somebody hast to do it ...

[Q] HTC One S 4.04 - Phonebook Name Lookup Problems?

Hi All,
I have an HTC One S which was running beautifully until I ran the T-Mobile 4.04 OTA update.
Unfortunately however the phonebook name lookup is now not working properly.
The situation is as follows:
•Some of my contacts are stored with the country code and some are without the country code (e.g. +61 420 757 585 for a friend in Australia)
•When a call/text comes in the name is only resolved if the format of the call/text number is an EXACT match to what's in the phonebook i.e.
◦When a call comes in there is no country code on the caller ID so only names WITHOUT a country code on the number appear on the screen
◦When a text comes in there is a country code on the caller ID so only names WITH a country code on the number appear on the screen
•This means that for each contact I only see their name in one of the two options below
This is causing me great confusion as I don't know who is calling/texting me.
Has anyone had this problem or can anyone offer a solution?
Thanks,
Andrew

No, I never found a solution. I installed other custom ROMs which solved the address book issues, however the T-Mobile 4.04 update has broken Wi-Fi on any ROM unless the T-Mobile one. So in other words I either had Wi-Fi or I had a working address book.
I ended up deciding Wi-Fi was more important (as I had a workaround for the address book) and am hoping that the T-Mobile 4.1 update fixes the problem.

thanks bro

Thank you Andrew!! Hope the 4.1 update will fix this, i can't take it anymore... do you know when the update is rolling out??

Not sure. Allegedly it is in final testing now. I think we'll both just have to wait and see.

[Q] How to make Desire S anonymous?

Hi I would like to make my phone anonymous when i connect to wifi. I would like to use internet in my work but i dont want anyone to know who is this. I also would like to use utorrent on android. So when I connect to my wifi hotspot at home I have all informations about my phone, like name (HTC), some numbers etc. There is also possible to gain for example my google account name? Or more informations? How to make phone complete anonymous? For example that administrator of the network will think that i use computer.

really no one? :/

It's not that there is no answer, but by the question it looks like you won't understand the answers to your question even if given them. If I tell you that you can change your hostname, but it won't help you since if any sysadmin will want to know who you are - he'll easily track you by your MAC address, will you know what I'm talking about?
So, the answer is - no, if sysadmin wants to know who you are - you can't hide, he can just know your MAC and physically check all devices until he finds the one, or just blacklists it and you won't have access anymore. But there is no "informations about your phone" that anyone sees, besides what the phone is broadcasting as a part of various network protocols (like hostname).

Yes i know what are you talking about. So he can see only my hostname and MAC address? For example when I use conectify software the program see me like a HTC and there is also a logo of HTC. So i understand that by MAC address he can not know what device it is? Maybe only the wireless card manufacturer. I only do not want that he will know that this device is a phone.

I think there's a solution: pDroid.

MAC address discloses device manufacturer. You can for example look this up on a site like this: http://hwaddress.com/
So it would be safe to clone a PC MAC address if possible.

There is chance to change MAC address in HTC?
I dont know if pdroid is what i need but however it works only with CM10, am I right?

PDroid doesn't help at all. It blocks data from applications, it doesn't and can't do a thing with low level OS drivers.
You can most likely spoof a MAC address, if you dig deep - you'll probably find a way to do it. But again, it won't help you. If your sysadmin will be determined to find you - he will find you, and if he's not - you can just use the phone "as is".
