2.2 Mobile AP

I have read a few posts about 2.2 MobileAP not working. My experience with it is that it works but take about 1-2 minutes for a DHCP address to be assigned to my laptop or any other device I have tried. Just wanted to put out there for those running stock 2.2 to be patient and see if yours is the same way. The first couple of times I tried it I didnt wait long enough so I figure some are doing the same as well.

Same for me, I used it for about 4 hours straight yesterday without issue. Worked phenomenally.

Yep, great addition. Sure att will remove it without a plan. Exactly why I love these forums and
android. you can really work with it

MobileAP works fantastic for me. I have had my iPad tethered to it all day today.
I have even unplugged my work computer and used the USB tethering to see if it works and it worked great.
ONLY thing I am missing is an icon on my homescreen for it now. I could create one with Launcher Pro in 2.1, but in 2.2 I can not seem to find it to create a shortcut for it.

Buy Extended Controls. Allows you tether and mobile AP as clickable buttons.

The Eduroam vs Froyo Big Issue

Hello,
As some of you may already know, the Android 2.2 (Froyo) update creates issues for those using eduroam WiFi networks because of a bug in wpa_supplicant.
These are the most relevant discussions I've found googling around:
EDIT: Can't post links apparently, google yourself...
I now have my HTC Wildfire asking if I want to upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2 and I don't know what to do because I really need a working eduroam WiFi and I'm still a noob when it comess to Android. But at the same time I'm very excited about Froyo and I'd like to upgrade.
Does anyone know what is the situation right now? Has the bug been fixed?
What is your experience with Eduroam in Froyo? Does it work out-of-he-box? Does it work at all?
Thanks a lot for your replies, any info is useful!

Somebody please help...
Nobody is using Eduroam network on its Android phone?
Please share your experience!

Problem is gone in 2.2.1 on SGS

Updated my Wildfire to 2.2.1 yesterday and Eduroam connection is now broken.
Not a big issue for me, so won't attempt a fix until next year now.

I've got a Wildfire as well and eduroam is very important for me (basically the only free wifi access I have). I can't believe Android devs are not fixing this, it's been around for more than a while.
@bael666: Is it really fixed on SGS?
How can it be fixed on a phone and not on an other one with the same android version? Maybe local network settings make a difference here.
What should I do? Upgrade or not?

the only problem my wife had after the update is that froyo had disabled her APN settings (3G data) and all had to be enabled/add settings.

That means no problems at all with eduroam wifi?

Hmm yeah it's working perfectly for me now on SGS. Had problems with my phone "forgeting" phase2 options, thats obviously gone now. One thing i did this time is importing cert chain (one file) instead of importing three single certs. Dunno if thas has anything to do with it.
You got any other device - laptop or something - using eduroam at the same time? Try to disable it. Having latop and phone connected at the same time isn t working for me either.

I have the same problem with my connection to Eduroam.
Did anyone found a fix ?

no problem at all.
have a android tablet 2.2.1 android, and a phone 2.2.1 android. both work extremely smooth.

Hi, I'm at UCL and have had sporadic connection to eduroam while I've been at Uni. Most of the time, if i have had my wifi turned off completly for a long time, I will be able to connect ok. If i get kicked off, it will often list eduroam as 'disabled' and i cannot reconnect without turning wifi off for a while. The UCL IT services has this statement on its setup guide:
"There is a known bug with 2.2.x Android phones that may prevent automatic connection to eduroam » It is expected that 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) will fix this issue. A temporary workaround to this bug is to toggle wireless off and on again. It has also been reported that Juice Defender will do this automatically (this is useful if your manufacturer will not issue an OS update)."

Thanks, this is helpful.
In the end, I didn't upgrade to froyo and stuck with Eclair, hoping HTC release Gingerbread for Wildfire at some point.
EDIT: Do you use Froyo btw? Have you tried the Juice Defender workaround? Does it work?

If you are using an android version less than froyo then add this to your wpa_supplicant.conf file located in /data/misc/wifi/ :
Code:
network={
ssid="eduroam"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
eap=TTLS
identity="[email protected]_NAME.ac.uk"
anonymous_identity="[email protected]_NAME.ac.uk"
password="PASSWORD"
ca_cert="/sdcard/eduroamcert.pem"
phase2="auth=PAP"
priority=2
}
Note the ca_cert line. You will need to find what certificate your university uses for authentication and add it to your SD Card.
This method has been working for me at UCL with a HTC Hero since android 1.5.
EDIT:: Forgot to mention, you need to be rooted in order for the aforementioned method to work.

thanks my_space for that information, but till now it's impossible to make connection with eduroam. In the wifi-menu says: connecting..... disconnected... Do i need to activate the wpa_supplicant with a command? My phone is a samsung galaxy 5 with android 2.1

This is just to report that eduroam WiFi works *perfectly* under Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread (CyanogenMod 7 RC3 ROM)!

Problem back on Galaxy S2! When i leave the phone disconnects, and it is not possible to reconnect when coming back.

Tomorrow I will try it in my university with an LG Optimus Black with froyo.
EDIT: It didn't worked on my 2.2.2 android. I tried changing options and nothing.

Had someone maybe found fix for this issue? I stumble upon this small app but haven't tried it yet: Eduroam Fixer v1.3. I'm on Android 2.2.2.

[Q] CyanogenMod6.1 has killed Bluetooth and Flash on my CDMA Hero

I really hope that there isn't a thread that answers this. If there is, I couldn't find one.
I flashed CM6.1 a few days ago, and I've found most of the fixes to my problems. I found the marketplace app in the google apps zip, I found the visual voicemail and sprint navigation apks, and I even found how to semi-sync facebook apps as well.
For the life of me, I can't get Flash 10.1 and Bluetooth working. I found the apk for flash and tried to install it. It crashes my phone back to the Cyanogen loading screen, and that's it. Whenever I go to m.flash.com, it says "the requested file cannot be found" or something along this lines. But Bluetooth is the big issue, I need it for my work. When I turn on bluetooth, it usually doesn't find my Jabra Extreme headset at all. Once in a while, it finds it, but it says "unable to pair with device". I have tried connecting it through the Bluetooth File Transfer app as well. Nothing.
Is there some kind of zip I can flash to make either of these things work for me? (especially the bluetooth) Thank you very much!

Come on, guys, one of you must know something about this....

I would go to your.phones forums and cynogens forums on their website to ask. You might get a quicker answer there.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Your Hero shouldn't have Flash 10.1 working anyway....
Oh and maybe flash a new rom to fix the bluetooth

6.1 broke my BT as well. Try 6.0 RC1 and see if that works--that's the last that worked for me. They switched to a new BT stack after 6.0 RC1 which I think is the culprit for some of us.

CM6.1 is running FroYo which may not be compatible all the way yet with your device. Unless 6.1.1 is out for your Hero yet, it might be best to stick with 6.0.

Netflix error 11000

Hello all,
I'm running stock FroYo on my TB, and haven't updated at all since I got the phone in April (waiting for the official GB release before giving up free, legal 4G hotspot). Until the last update was pushed out to everyone else, Netflix worked fine.
Now, however, the app from the market loads, but won't let me play anything. I see this error pop up, instead:
"Sorry we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. If the problems persists please visit the Netflix website (11000)."
This error occurs on WiFi and 3G/4G. I have tried the following to no avail:
Rebooting the phone
Signing out and into Netflix
Uninstalling and reinstalling Netflix
I did search the forums for similar issues, but didn't find anything. If I missed a thread with a solution, please let me know.
Is updating a requirement to get Netflix to work? Is there an alternative APK I could try?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Its probably related to the fact you haven't updated and possibly the app has. If the hotspot is that important to you, just root and use wireless tether....
If you dont want to root then get PdaNet and thether that way

Thanks for your response, Jrocker!
Verizon may start cracking down on unauthorized tethering, per this article (although there may be workarounds), so I'm wary of rooting, and PDAnet doesn't create a wireless hotspot, so it cannot be used on my tablet.
Anyone on these boards not yet updated, and still able to run Netflix?

Same error message from me. I have a custom ROM and have access to the queue, but am blocked from actually watching any shows.

Update
I uninstalled the app and then reinstalled it via the Market and the shows will once again stream. Give it a try!

market and youtube apps issue

Hi guys,
i'm currently running Prime 1.9 but this issue is not only happening on that version.
From the market, I can't download any apps or update them, but if I do a restore it will download perfectly. Also, i'm always getting a unable to connect to server in youtube apps.
I think it's my router because everything is running fine when I do a thetering from my cellphone.
But, i'm still not getting this, I did a DMZ on my IP address and it didn't change anything.
I have no idea what to do, it just start bugging like that three days ago.
Also, Gtalk is running #1.
Ideas will be appreciate.
Thanks
