I have been trying to get LEAP wifi working my g-tab with TNT lite 5.0. I have downloaded a couple of apps specifically for it, but have not gotten either to work. Does anyone know if I can even get LEAP to work on TNT Lite 5.0? Am i just wasting my time?
I am in the same boat here. If I cannot get LEAP Wifi to work may have to switch out to Cyanogen or another ROM. If it still doesnt work then unfortunately it will have to get returned. Although based on my searches it appears that there might be a way to directly edit the Wifi configuration and test again.
I actually got it working. I used the LEAP WIFI app and then had to manually modify the wpa_supplicant file.

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.
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.
I have three tablets. Not that I owe.. one is mine, another is my sister's, and last one is my cousin's. All tablets are on VEGA-n beta 5.1. My sister's tablet is doing some unexpected things. For starters whenever it is put to sleep it shuts down instead(not right away but after a min or two it shuts down). Second, both mine and hers are on the same network, but when hers gets 10 or more feet away from the wifi source it drops connection while mine still gets excellent connection. Third while on the same network, on hers only certain apps can access the internet while others cannot. Market was working earlier(downloaded Ti backup after reflash) but her Internet Explorer was not working. Now internet explorer works but market does not, even other internet explorers other than the stock one are unable to connect online. Lastly her accelerometer stopped working/was stuck. I reflashed and wiped all data, but nothing. Its still broken.
Should I return it? I have tried all the solutions that fixed some of these problems for me but they don't seem to work on hers. Any help please?!
Wow, its great to see that you all kept the G Tablet in the family.
1. Its an issue many of us have. We feel its software related since it started to occur after flashing the Vegan Rom.
2. Could be a hardware issue for your sister's device. Back it up, wipe it and try it on the fresh install and see how it reacts. If it works fine, then its probably something software related. If it still drops, then its more likely hardware. Return it.
3. Again, faulty installation of the Rom. Back it up, wipe it, and try installing it again. Also you may want to try TNT to see if its Vegan 5.1 related (btw, it doesnt use internet explorer)
4. I would return it if these issues persist.
Hope this helps. Anyone with other advice please chime in.
Thanks,
Scott
For the powering off issue, it sounds like the button might be sticking, on mine it forces the tab off if i hold it down for even a few seconds.
Also by internet explorer, i assume you mean the android browser?
Also is your cousins tab experiencing any of the same problems?
Mine and my cousin's are alright. Only problem I've had is flash crashing occasionally and rebooting. I might try flashing TnT lite on hers and see if there's a difference.
I have to head to work will update once I work on hers more. And thanks for replying..

I have been running vegaN Beta5.1 for a while now. Used to have similar issues with power and such. I flashed Clemson 10.9.3 kernel, it is now up to 10.9.8 and the power issues went away. It also has the lag fix, and some other nice fixes. It installs just like any other rom.

I just upgraded to 5.1.1 ...I posted an update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008702 to my post but assumed most never saw it....
anyhow....ever since moving to the update my wifi just spins. It recognizes that there are services available but it never gives me an option to connect to them. Any ideas?
after a sleep? or after upgrade to 5.1.1?
I have encountered this issue before on tnt lite 4.2. I simply rebooted it and reset your wireless router. and then no issue to me.
check out this thread if it is after a sleep.

I don't 100% remember but I think that there is a custom kernel to fix/improve the wifi problem? Anyone can confirm it?

There were some issues regarding sleep (mostly failures to wake, causing reboots, and CPU throttle getting stuck on sleep).
However, those on the 5.0 TNTl are stuck with the existing kernel. Not to bash TNT - I've used 4.X and 5.X versions and think its great - just that it's in its own little world as far as kernel and recovery options.
no sleep...just straight after the update. I have searched the forum and done anything that looks like it might work. Reset the router several times, stood within 6" of the router. Re-booted probably 100 times.
I went back and cleared the darvlick cache and did a factory reset. Re-installed 5.1 thinking this might help but from my noob eyes it looks like 5.1.1 is still running (based on the background wallpaper only).
That is the frustrating thing for me...if this happened on my pc I would go get a new driver or reinstall the hardware and I would be back up and running...with Android and ROM I am completely lost.
++UPDATE++
Just checked into the hotel and the wifi works on an open connection. I really don't want to open my home network if can avoid it...typical suburban cul de sac with too many people that would to steal some wifi
Is wifi direct disabled by Samsung for the Skyrocket? Coworker and I are on ICS 4.0.3 (ICSMOD5) and can connect but when we try to send a file,pic or anything it doesn't display his device as an available option.
Really tired of having to pull out my SD card to send files.
same problem on my end except it won't fully connect either. just detect other devices. probably just an early version bug.
Maybe. I don't remember if this was available back on 2.3.6 or not.
We do have wifi direct cert but is samsung disabling this?
http://certifications.wi-fi.org/pdf_certificate.php?cid=WFA12015
i believe it was.
at least 2.3.5 it was.
Switched to a few different roms with the same results. Even tried to mix and match ICS roms with coworkers and we still can't get it to do jack.
Hand to face moment..
SOLVED: Disable the data and reconnect. It wasn't allowing the send I think because the LTE was still on. Works fine now.
