Yes! Wifi App for connecting in university Wifi

Hey guys,
I just got my Xperia X10 to work in our university wifi. WPA-EAP PEAP with MSCHAPV2. I used the app Wifi-Config Editor Pro from the market. You don't even need to root your phone. I hope this works on everyone else also. I was so thankful with the developer. This app saved my phone.

is this wifi-config?
Cant find the exact name you mention anywhere.
links please?

I did a search in the android market "wifi config". After that first two results would be wifi config and wifi config editor pro. The free version doesn't have the enterprise configuration. The pro does.

I would love to try this out, but the app is obviously not yet certified for the latest firmware release...
Even with this link (hxxp://bubiloop.com/android-tools-wifi-config-editor-pro), there are no results in the market.

If, like me (X10 mini pro, UK unlocked latest firmware) wifi config pro isn't showing for you in the market you can do the following:
1) Root the phone following the instructions here:
http://android.doshaska.net/x10miniroot
(this works for me on my X10 mini pro)
With the phone connected and usb debugging on/wifi toggled off, from the androidSDK on a PC (Windows,Linux,Mac) get a shell
2) adb shell
3) su
4) cd /data/misc/wifi
5) busybox vi wpa_supplicant.conf
(to edit the wpa configuration file)
6) add this at the end
network={
ssid="eduroam"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
eap=PEAP
identity="MYIDENTITY"
password="SECRET"
phase1="peapver=0"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
priority=7
}
or similar, where MYIDENTITY is your eduroam login ID and SECRET is your password. This is taken verbatim from another phone (HTC Desire, Android 2.2) which does work OK
7) save
8) log out
Then connect and surf...

Cosmodia - I don't know why you can't see it in the market. You have Android 1.6 right? At first I cannot see it also since the app was only for Android 2.0 but the developer made it to work with Android 1.6 so now I can see it and got it to work. You can contact the developer and ask questions.
Professordes - I think this should help people who didn't want or don't know how to root their phone

Android 2.x Enterprise settings coming soon
Android WiFi Internal API's changed between version 1.5/1.6/2.x Android 1.6 added a lot of the requirements to enable an enterprise WiFi network, however the published API and UI's don't make it easy to connect to them. They then changed them in 2.0 making virtually all Enterprise configurations valid. Unfortunately the UI still lacks in the ability to configure them. I needed my android device on the WiFi network at work so I wrote an app do to just that.
As of about a week ago I had everything all versions without the enterprise settings working. This is the "WiFi Config Editor" you can find on the market now. I was in the process of enabling the editing of the enterprise settings for Android 2.0+ when I was contacted about getting an X10 on a WPA-EAP network with PEAP authorization. Being the X10 is a 1.6 device I made the changes necessary and released the 1.6 version of "WiFi Config Editor Pro". This version will only work with Android 1.6 as the Enterprise API's are different.
Currently I'm testing the "WiFi Config Editor Pro" for Android 2.0+ and should have it released in the next few days. As I hinted at earlier, the enterprise settings are hidden in Internal API's. This makes developing against them difficult. Google actually places a number of roadblocks in the way to make this harder. But being that Android is open source, it just takes a little bit of persistence to make it all work. Best part of all. NO ROOT REQUIRED!
To my knowledge this is the only app that exists that will allow you to edit WiFi settings at this level without requiring root access. I'm open to suggestions to help make it better. Let me know if anyone has any issues with the app or connecting to specific configurations.
Thanks,

Hello OddRain,
this sounds very promising and I am looking forward to trying it out as soon as the latest firmware release for the X10 gets full Market access again.

Hi Oddrain,
I can't find any other way to contact you.
I am desperately looking to connect to my companies WPA2 enterprise network, with Peap. It also uses a certificate.
I cannot however purchase pro as I am in South Africa and we can only get free apps on the market.
Can you please advise when the android 2.1+ version is available, if it will work for what i need and how I can pay.
Florbid

I still can't seem to find the Wifi Config Editor (neither the free nor the pro version) in the Market, everything else appears to be there.
Is the application limited to some region, firmware or branding?
I'm trying to access the Market from Germany, my X10 is on R2BA026, unbranded phone.

I'm not sure why the app doesnt show up in the market sometimes. The free version supports Android 1.5 and up. There are 2 pro versions, one for Android 1.6 and one for Android 2.0+. All versions should be in the market right now. There are no limits within the application other than the Android Versions supported.
The most reliable way I know of searching the app store is not by the application name, but by the developer name. pub:OddRain would be the Android Market search string, it is Case Sensitive.

Thank you very much for the reply. Unfortunately, I don't get any result with that search term as well.
Could somebody else with the same firmware version please search for this to see if it maybe depends on that?

can wifi config editor (free version) solve the issue of the campus wifi (WPA/WPA2-EAP PEAP with MSCHAPV2) ?
Thanks!

can you just extract the .apk and post it here please and make it easier for all?

Use Bluetooth keyboard

Will I be able to connect a BT keyboard to HTC Desire HD?
Will it accept HID devices?
HTC Desire didnt becouse it used an old BT driver or something like that.
Is the HDH useing a newer driverpack?

Bluetooth keyboards & Desire HD
I am keen to know the answer to this one. Being able to connect a bluetooth keyboard to my HTC Touch HD (WM 6.1) phone is one of the reasons I still enjoy using it. I hope moving to Android with the DHD does not rule this out.

I spent 30 mins tryinh the Freedom i-connex, and even installing drivers I couldn't get it to work.
To be fair I did just give up as I lost interest, but it's definitely not just a simple quick and easy thing.

Very unlikely to work, HTC has their own BT implementation and its not yet worked on any of their phones (until Cyanogenmod ROM comes anyways).
Samsung Galaxy S does support on 2.2 firmwares, as does the Dell Streak, and every phone with an available Cyanogenmod ROM, if thats a consideration for you.

My Mini bluetooth keyboard http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/mini-bluetooth-keyboard-for-smartphones/ from Ebay is on the way, i hope with treksoft Blueinput software http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=products&platform=2&pid=24 it will be ok with HTC DHD.
So, after a test, it is definitely not working for my DHD (bundled android driver or trial teksoft blueinput for android). So bad :-/ Hope for some useful upgrade in the future...

Will we get better BT support with then new Gingerbread Android 2.3?
Sounds as if it wouldnt be hard implementing good BT drivers in this kind
of phone to start with.
Wonder way HTC dont want us to use BT peripherials??

Any news about Gingerbread and BT HID driver?

I asked from HTC Support and:
"Peter, the HTC Desire phone does not come with the Bluetooth HID protocol. There is no method of putting this protocol onto your phone and we cannot guarantee that it will be included in any future updates."
But the HID is working with the Oxygen v2.0 RC4.
Nice regards
Peter

I used this driver:
http://www.androlib.com/android.developer.mymobilegear-com-jiBD.aspx

I was not able to plug my apple bluetooth keyboard under the official sense rom on the desire HD.
However, after installing the latest "stable" cyanogen (6.1), bluetooth is working, and I can connect and use the keyboard (it uses the HID profile).

Hi @All
I am playing with wiimot, my snes games.
Cyanogenmod 6.1.3
ONLY with sense ROMs dont work The Bluetooth driver
Have yesterday nonstop over 10h playing

Hi, just read about the "non-possibility" to link bluetooth keyboards, unless to root (if well understood with cyanogen), or use Keypro, welllll....
I'm no hero, o rooting I do not see as a solution and Keypro desn't do the trick either.
Problem on my side it that the pairing works, but once paired, the system indicates "paired, but disconnected" & no chance to connect???
I have a flexible (silicone) keyboard and really like to use it.
Anyone an idea?
Thanks in advance

Noone could use a human input device via bluetooth yet on HTC and Samusng droids due to the fact the manufacturer's OS is simply incompatible with these devices. It seems like the only way to use a device like that if u get a custom OS on your device. I tried to bug HTC with my questions like why exactly can't they provide an OS with bluetooth HID support meanwhile an unofficial developer can deal with it. Got no explanation, just the repeated answer saying that it is currently not compatible with HTC devices. And I should check for updates regularly. Maybe if the more people would bug them... Give it a go everyone. Would be great to use mouse, keyb, gamepads...

Hi all, i'm looking for the same solution too and found an apps called "BlueInput" which claimed to be a working driver, can anyone please try it with your BT keyboard since I haven't bought a keyboard yet... Thanks a lot!!
Here's the link of the apps, and I've seen a demo version on Andriod market:
http://www.mobihand.com/263//product.asp?id=415867

tested with my key-board: doesn't work
Found however following link (also via XDA): i-miss-erin.blogspot.com/2009/09/connect-bluetooth-keyboard-in-android.html
But seen my faculties/knowlegde regading tooring etc, I haven't tried.
If anyone could help me with an "easy root for moorons" - please contact me....

I am fighting for the operation of my Bluetooth Keyboard Nokia SU-8W on the DHD so far without success.
Any suggestions?

I haven't tried CyanogenMod 6.1.3 or 7 Rom but if this is the only way to have the keyboard worked, I think I'll have to learnt to root now =_="

I've bought a BT keyboard and installed BlueInput, it don't work on my DHD, but it works very well on my sister's Dell Venue =_=" What a shame!

IRXON BT HID keyboard from dealextreme doesn't work with HTC Magic stock or DHD stock / Leedroid ROMS.
Amusingly enough, this worked like a charm with a jailbroken iphone 2g. Can anyone else confirm support for HID keyboards on the Desire HD with CM 6.1 or CM7 ?
EDIT: Naturally, tried every input app in the market, including BlueInput demo, another app for japanese HID keyboards and even BT input drivers for Zeemote and MSI BT gamepads

Anyone tried on the market:
"Bluetooth Keyboard Easyconnect" from Mike van der Sluis?
If so & successful, think I really need to get the rooting knowlegde (well knowing that with the current 2.2.1 no rooting is possible, so a downgrade is needed etc etc etc....... - in other words: HELP!)

[Q] Need help with tethering MyTouch 3G GPS to Gtab?

Hello,
Thanks to all the great folks here on this forum I have modded my Gtab and I am really loving the experience.
I am currently running TnT Lite 2.4 and find it very stable. I did the Market fix that allows most os the apps to show up. Still using the old Market interface which accurately shows my downloaded and purchased apps. I have installed ADWlauncher EX and not looked back.
Since buying my Gtab I have rooted my MyTouch 3g 1.2 and implemented Barnacle to create an ad hoc wifi hotspot that works very well with my Gtab.
I read somewhere here that somebody was able to connect their phone GPS to the Gtab through the use of a combination of shareGPS and BlueGPS. I can't seem to find the shareGPS application anywhere on the Market with my phone or the Gtab. Is this due to the fact that my phone is still an Android 1.6 phone? If possible can someone point me to the sharegps apk file that would work on my phone?

[Q] L2TP VPN TnT Lite 4.2.2 + stock kernel

Folks,
Quick question and I apologize if this has already been answered elsewhere in this forum but a search didn't reveal anything. I'd like to configure VPN on my g-tab so I can get into work from home. Does the default kernel support VPN? If not, is there currently a compiled kernel that I can dl that'll support L2TP. If I install this kernel, can I access/configure the VPN with my currently installed ROM which is TnT Lite 4.2.2 or do I need to switch to another rom?
thanks!

Id like to know this as well if anyone can answer please.
Thanks, Rob

I've been struggling with this ever since I bought my tablet back in early DEC. I couldn't use my juniper VPN because it required a java client, but I've been trying numerous different combos of kernels and loads to see what would work for my Cisco L2TP VPN (with a shared secret). The winning combo that worked for me was:
VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition - Experimentals: verison 03082011.
Kernel - pershoot 2.6.32.31-cyanogenmod.
The VPN setting does not show up in the network settings, so I downloaded "5 VPN" from the android market. When you click "connect", it takes you to the VPN settings of the device. I created my LTP connection and BAMMMM! It works!

[Q] Photon Q Wifi LEAP question

Hi, newbie here.
i have been reading for a while on this forum, i was using Nokia E7 for my work purposes, and interested to know if photon Q can replace it. i like QWERTY device anyway. as photon Q looks attractive for me so finally I got one.
i am interesting if i can connect photon Q to 802.1x with LEAP.
i try to play with stock wifi setting, no LEAP option there, i try to play with LEAP Wifi free (can be downloaded in google play), Wifi advanced configuration editor, wifi connection manager, try all possible setting but still can't connect to my company network.
other status :
SW version 77.8.14
android version 4.0.4
build number = 7.7.1Q-6_SPR-125_ASA-14
i was wondering if i need to root/unlock bootloader to have LEAP connected (so i can edit something/files).
any idea or any help? thank you !

Never used this type of wifi, but maybe this post will help?

thanks, but i have tried that and not working.
I assume a lot of university & company still using Cisco LEAP Authentication.
once we find a way, photon q can be the perfect phone for businessman & student.

I use "LEAP WiFi Free" from the market (Play Store) and it works perfect with LEAP authentication at my workplace.
