I upgraded my xt720 to Dexter's Froyo 1.3 a few days ago and it is working well so far. The only issue I've found is that Fring, which worked marginally on the stock Android 2.1 system, now simply fails on every attempt to call, including the Fring test call. This is the case with my own wifi setup, which includes a firewall (yes, I opened the necessary ports to get Fring working with Android 2.1) and WPA, and on another completely open wifi setup with no firewall. No luck either way. Has anyone else seen this? Anyone have any bright ideas for a fix? This is far from a critical problem, but Fring is nice to have, when it works.

I have scoured hte forums and seen nothign seeing as wm6 is so new. I also read that they didn't have the requires framework for voip in wm6 (or the release otu so far atleast). Is this true?

This is with 2.2 mobile for smartphones off the site

Well i foudn teh 2.2 beta which loads and so on. I tested it with regular calls (not to a land line, jsut using skype to skype) It works and then freezes up adn drops the conenction.. It works for a few seonds at first though, tried with a friends CPu to my 750.
ANy ideas about getting it to work fully? kinda of works.. then dies
thanks!
Skype 2.0
I had the same problem as you did.
Do a search for Skype 2.0 as 2.2 doesn't seem to work very well.
After installing 2.0 skype work well for me now.
Skype 2.2 beta works good for me. But the official release 2.2 crashs when i attempt to make a call.
hurm, maybe i have bad luck then... when ever i call, or recieve one (cpu to phone so far) it works for a few seconds, then locks up fo ra bit and disconnects the call, every time i've tried. Tried with 2.0 and 2.2 beta.. any ideas at all?
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.
didn't know were to post this. but since its about our phone i might as well ask.
ive been trying to use qik or fring, both can use back cameras for video calls but it seems not to work properly like it disconnects easliy.does any one else use these programs and having the same problems have any solutions?
I can use Qik. No issues.
I've been running the rooted GB leak since it came out. So far the battery life is great and it is very stable.
*Edit* I should clarify that I am running 4.5.606 installed as the 2 part rooted zip, I am going to also install 4.5.607 to see if it changes anything.
I have noticed a couple of bugs so far.
I am running on GSM, the signal strength indications are 2 bars lower than they were under Froyo using Fission. The actual signal strength is the same, it is just the indication that is out.
If I turn the phone off and then on again without waiting for 20 seconds the GSM radio fails to initialise on the reboot. It tells me there is no network and asks if I want to switch to Global mode.
Sometimes the camera takes partial pictures, the first third is there the remainder is black.
Sometimes I answer a call and it is silent, no audio. It only happens from a few numbers, it always happens to the same numbers. I had the same issue on a Galaxy S and it was quite common. The entire time that I was running Froyo on the D2G I only found one other number that was a nokia mobile on the same network as mine where there would be no audio every time I called him or he called me. On this build I have had the no audio issue from a landline number, this is a first!
Vz have put a block into the firmware that prevents call diversions being made using the standard codes (ie. **62 etc) It pops up a message saying "Call forward is disabled outside the verizon wireless network"
The only issue you listed that I can confirm is the signal strength indicator for GSM. However, it was working in exactly the same fashion on stock 2.2.
I have noticed quite a few bugs.
1. Sometimes when a text message gets a certain length the keyboard stops working. You have to press home and open it again.
2. Keyboad LED sometimes doesnt come on.
There are a few others but I can't remember. I don't know what the problem is but I'm thinking of flashing back to 2.2 because it's so frustrating.
You can also try 4.5.607.

Where can I find this? and can I flash it from 606?
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?3406-Gingerbread-leak-D2G-Updated-to-4.5.607!
You need to follow the instructions here. I have been running 606 and it is excellent with just a couple of minor issues, but nothing show stopping. The biggest PITA for me at the moment is the inability to set up call diverts from my phone due to the Vz lock in 606, I am just about to install 607 to see if it changes anything.
4.5.607 is the soak test update; you can find it @ RootzWiki.
To install it, you must be on stock 2.4.330, no root, no bootstrap recovery.
There are no major changes in it. Call forwarding options are still available on VZW only.
wifi ad-hoc also not working properly!
BlueTooth Issues Anyone?
It seems I've lost the ability to connect to my phone over bluetooth serial port from my PC. Can anyone confirm this, or deny it? I've tried 2 PCs, with different BT dongles so far. I've had this problem on GB 606 and now 607. Man bluetooth is a pain. Might try SBF, reverting, but it does become tedious after a while.
(also, if it's just me, any suggestion on how to fix?)
I have flashed back to 2.4.330 and then installed the 4.5.607 update.zip and then rooted with the droid 3 script. No changes that I can see from 4.5.606.
Bluetooth audio works perfectly both ways. I can send a file from my PC to the phone using bluetooth. I can browse the device over bluetooth, but only after installing a 3rd party app. I am running Ubuntu so I can't comment on the windows bluetooth stack, but the linux one seems to perform normally.
SPP
I know BT Audio works. My concern is, did the BlueTooth Serial Port Profile and DUN go away? I used to be able to connect to my phone over BlueTooth and send AT commands to it. Now, no port, no connection.
I'm sure I didn't have DUN support on stock 2.4.330.
Not sure about the BT device which Windows fails to find drivers for, though.
No Call Audio.

Mine did the same thing every other day on GB. I couldn't hear anything and neither could other person on the line. Only way I had been able to fix this is by rebooting the phone. Got very annoying. Went back to Hexen Froyo for now...
So I'm off travelling the world and using my d2g for internet access. I probably should have tested it before I left ;-)
It turns out the USB tethering does not appear to work, I get a connection and an IP address via DHCP, I can ping the gateway on the phone and resolve DNS info if I use the gateway as the server, but I can not get any traffic to pass through the phone.
Wireless tethering won't even connect using the built in App.
I tried Opengarden and the latest beta of the wireless tether app, no joy yet.
Funnily enough the bluetooth networking connected straight away and works perfectly.
I am running linux on my laptop, I guess I will have to boot into windows to see where the issue lies.
I don't claim to know anything, and currently don't have the motivation to go back to Froyo, but SPP and DUN are listed for the Droid2Global on here:
(not allowed to post link to MotoDev specsheet for Droid2Global)
I had SPP on Froyo. Now I don't. Don't know if it's GB, or just me.
Goodmorning. I was facing a problem with the Cyberon Voice commander on my Galaxy 3 and I had the Froyo official firmware from Samsung. The program worked fine, but I cannot give voice commands thru bluetooth handsfree. I made some tests and found that when I went back to Eclair official version, this problem was solved, but I didn't like the way the phone worked there. I guess that if I change or uninstall some apps on Froyo I can make it work fine. What do you think I should do?
