I figure i would post this in the General section, as this might help others that may need help setting up their static ip .
Here are the steps to set up static ip for anyone needing to do this.
1. go to system settings
2. click on wifi
3. click on add network
4. enter your network ssid
5. choose your security
6. enter your password for you network
7. click save
ok here is where you have to let it find the network, let it connect and aquire an ip address (even thou it is not the correct one) let it do its thing. do not skip this step otherwise you will not be able to configure the ip or save it.
once it says it is connected go back and do steps 1-2
you will see your network and it should say connected.
long press on your network name. it will bring up 2 options.
1 forget network
2 modify network config.
click on modify network config
it will bring up a bunch of settings. scroll down till you see a box that says :" Show advanced options"
click on the box. ( do not save or cancel the window)
scroll down a little bit and you will see 2 boxes
1 proxy settings
2 ip settings <<< click on the lower right hand coner and change this from dchp to static.
once you do this you will see settings under that box input all your info into these boxes *****( leave 3rd box that says " network prefix length" at 24 )******* once you have completed click save and your phone should be connected to you static ip network..
1 ip address
2 gateway
3 network prefix length (Leave this at 24)
4 dns 1
5 dns 2
6 ******* CLICK SAVE ********* not cancel or you will have to repeat the process. LOL Dont ask how i know this 3 times.. LOL
I hope this helps everyone. Sorry for putting up these instructions late, but unfortunatlly i got a little busy trying to fix a loss of root.
If this helped hit the Thanks button.
I would recommend that anyone wanting to get a "static" ip address go into there router and tell there router to set the ip from the mac address. A little of work because it depends on how to do it from router to router but works well in dd-wrt.
You can find how to set static leases in dd-wrt under the "services" tab. This simply allows you to keep your phone a dhcp phone when abroad while keeping a specific ip while at home. In fact, I get the mac address of every device on my network and use this table to set my house statically without having to do anything on the device itself. Comes in handy to know what devices have what ip and therefore and easy way to keep on top of your network security.
^^ that's what I do too.

I also do this. With 10 devices connected and 4 of them I need to know the static address for things to work properly. I can't imagine setting static on each device. Its like a 3 click process via my router regardless of what OS the device is running.
Save static IP in Galaxy S2 ICS
Hi,
After many tries I've found that in order to save a static IP WIFI entry in a Samsung Galaxy S2 under Ice Cream Sandwich you need to fill ALL fields, even the "Network prefix length" field (whatever that is).
So, even though it shows "24", that field is actually empty. Just enter all your IPs plus 24 in that field and you're done.

I'm assuming 24 refers to /24

or 255.255.255.0, which is the subnet for a Class C network and the default network in most home home routers that assign DHCP.
*However* - depending on how you like to manage your own home network, starting from your router, it doesn't necessarily have to be a /24 network. Yes it's more work, but it's not the only option.
(At least I think I'm right. Cisco courses were several semesters ago. ;p)

The "24" left untouched works fine on my SR on UCLE2. What "that is" is the bit length (measured by 8 bits per dot-delimited octet) of the network label portion of an IP address. Where 192.168.1.XXX IDs the network and the Xs are available for node IDs or endpoints. The first 3 octets there are a 24 bit prefix.

On SR and Cappy in ICS I have found that default entry holds when appropriate. What did you mean "Just enter all your IPs plus 24 in that field and you're done." ?

That will work equally. The 255s indicate the potential node IDs in octets 1-3 are blocked as part of the network ID and the 0 in the 4th octet opens all (255 potential node IDs for assignment) in this subnet mask.

On my friend's Xperia Active, that just got updated to ICS, I also tried to quickly input some fields under advanced menu to see if the WiFi would work.
Boy was I wrong!
I had to delete my old WiFi connection, then I had to follow these step-by-step instructions and I had to fill ALL fields in one stroke after pressing "Save". Only then the WiFi worked normally, else it wouldn't transmit data over the internet.
When i try and connect the save button is not pressable.

Well if you followed the directions correctly then you should be able to connect. I have done it this way over and over everytime i change roms, and it works everytime.
Sounds like u are connected to a ghost ip address that says u are connected but not connected to the real ip address. If you have your router setup with a static ip address, then these directions will work. If you have it set to dhcp on your router than all you have to do is set your name, security,password and then the phone should do the rest.

Are you using Wifi or 3G/Edge? Looks like the problem is with the admin that setup your Wifi.
Well sounds like you are using their DNS servers and someone blocked gmail.
go to opendns.com while tethering to change your settings if you can. You should see a "dashboard" link at the top right of the page.
OpenDNS is an alternative DNS service (normally DNS is provided by the ISP). Wifi-Tether-For-Root by default has OpenDNS hardcoded in as the default DNS (instead of T-Mo's DNS servers). Since all traffic on T-Mo 3G is routed through their central server, regardless of where you are physically, your ip on the internet will appear as coming from a T-Mo data center in Missouri or Kansas or something. Perhaps someone has maliciously set up an OpenDNS account with this ip and locked out gmail.
Edit: I am having no problems getting to gmail using WT4R. My tmo ip was different from the usual though. Perhaps they are load-balancing their US network. Last time I checked, my tmo ip came out in Kansas. This time however, it came out of Rhode Island. Strange, considering I am physically in California.
Could you lookup your internet-side ip address while tethering and see which tmo datacenter you appear to be coming from when your gmail access is restricted?
This is the first time I've ever used wifi tether. Was kinda wierd to see gmail was blocked. Working on setting up an opendns acct now.
Ok....I'm totally lost now. I've got an opendns acct setup. I'm lookin at the dashboard thing, and have no idea what to change to fix this issue?
You are going to want to go here https://www.opendns.com/dashboard/settings/
It should show your current IP in the drop down.
Turn off the filtering and make sure nothing down below is added.

Easy enough to figure out my ip addy....but no idea how to do the rest.
Weird thing though...I signed up fro an opendns acct, browsed around a bit in the dashboard and now gmail works? ~edit~ nvermind, spoke too soon...gmail is blocked again.
For some reason I have a problem wrapping my brain around this kinda stuff.

I see my IP under the network tab. Under the settings tab it says "to control your settings, you need to add a network to your account." If I click "add a network" it takes me back to the network tab where my ip is displayed. If I click add network, it says network already exists?
Bleh....
Like i said, T-Mo is likely load balancing across their many gateways. My guess is whoever locked gmail out only did it to one of the gateways. Your best bet is to change the DNS servers away from opendns.

The reason is because only one openvpn account can control a network. Whoever has messed up that tmo gateway has full control of it until that person or openvpn changes the situation.

It might be enough to edit /data/data/android.tether/conf/dnsmasq.conf with a text editor and substitute out the DNS values in there with your own DNS. I'll try it out later.

"wifi tether" should update the dnsmasq.conf-file automatically (will take the dns from your 2G/3G-connection) - this was introduced in version 0.95.
Type ... "getprop net.dns1" into terminal ... that should exactly be the nameserver in dnsmasq.conf (after you have started tethering).
Bleh....I need a break from phone tweaking for a bit. Buuurn ouuuut
Works for me
I just got home, tethered just to see if it would affect me too. Not problems at all.

harry_m is right. When I tethered to my G1 via WT4R (ver 0.9.6) and visited opendns.com, it showed the "Start using OpenDNS" button, indicating my currently used DNS was not OpenDNS. I verified that WT4R had fetched the G1's internal DNS setting by checking the dnsmasq.conf:
Code:
$ su
# cat /data/data/android.tether/conf/dnsmasq.conf
no-resolv
no-poll
server=10.177.0.34
server=10.176.80.242
I suggest you reinstall WT4R and choose no when it gives you the option to import old settings. This way, it will build your configuration files from scratch (and not use OpenDNS).
Thought I would shift this out of the Prime thread, as it seems to be a bit more of a android "ball and chain" thing.. not as easy to fix if you don't know how..

When I use "DHCP" and try to connect.. I get "obtaining IP address..

Anyway.. found a bit of a work around in these two programs..
Wifi static and Zakus wifi profiles..
I got Wifi Static to work on my EVO with hook in and web access but couldn't get it to work with the Transformer..
Used these settings on the Evo..
Gateway : 192.168.0.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Dns: 1: 8.8.8.8
DNS 2: 8.8.4.4
Tried them on the Pad but it wouldnt hook in.. i.e it was still trying to get an IP like in a DHCP type setting..
This is the mini router I am playing with.. the WL330gE http://www.asus.com/Networks/Wireless_Routers/WL330gE/
Found this.. "[Q] How to set Static IP?"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062792&highlight=static+ip
Gives me a bit more of an understanding.. there must be a way in to the back end of the wireless settings on the pad..
Any more help leads would be good.. thanks..
I will condense my findings into this thread as I am sure there are going to be others with a similar problem..
Solved by re:flashing a new Kernel..
Really unsure what your question is, figure you want to set a static IP on the tablet and change you DNS settings ?
Setting a static IP is done by Pressing Settings > Wireless and Networks > Wi-Fi settings > pressing and holding down the name of your connected network under the lower half of the screen titled "Wi-Fi Networks"
Then click Modify Network
Then press where it says DHCP, and change it to static
It will ask you for the IP etc which should already be entered, you do not need to type in the Encryption key again, as it remembers it from the DHCP settings
Your DNS servers 8888 and 4444 / 8844 are googles DNS servers
You can change that to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 for OpenDNS servers.
You can still set a Static IP on your home network, but remember that when you get to work, you will need to find out the IP of the gateway and change your IP ranges accordingly
For example, home router IP is 192.168.1.1 - you can set the tablet to 192.168.1.2 and gateway to 192.168.1.1 <<< The router connected to the net is the gateway
When you get to work, for example the router IP is 192.168.100.50 - You will need to change your static IP to be in the same range, such as 192.168.100.51 and the gateway to the work router which is 192.168.100.50

Dude, posted by the OP:
Problem: Can't change i.p settings when add a new wireless connection point..
I go in to "Static"
Curser is blinking at the front of them..but they are grayed out..
He knows all of that, but it will not let him change the settings. Also, 4.4.4.4 is an incorrect address. It does not work.
OP: Hope somebody can help you. If I were you, I'd do a "factory reset". There are ways to manually set IPs through terminal, but what you need is a properly working Settings menu. It sounds like you're using a stock FW blob with CWM and the prime kernel? I would flash Prime 1.7 or 1.8.1, then clear the data for the wireless settings, then clear the data partition completely if nothing else worked. Do a Titanium Backup before clearing, and do not restore Wireless Access Points when restoring.

I think you have the process backwards.
Connect first with DHCP connection.
Go into router, and reserve whatever address is connected for the tf101.
Then go and switch to static. You can then change the dns settings, but you should not have to change any password, etc, as they are already there, and you are already connected.
When you get to work, for example the router IP is 192.168.100.50 - You will need to change your static IP to be in the same range, such as 192.168.100.51 and the gateway to the work router which is 192.168.100.

You can also just leave the work connection on dhcp. The transformer allows you to have some static ip, and some dhcp, and it remembers them all.
@magicdave26
Thanks for having a look at it.. and will look in to the Opendns servers once I settle the editing problem down.. as msticninja points out the main problem here is, ..as per your picture of the wireless settings menu...
Mine is grayed out and don't have access to change these settings..
I have tried both "Wifi Static" and "Zakus Wifi profiles" from Market..
things to point here..
1: tested both on my EVO running Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo - RLS 5 and both allowed me to access the settings and let me hook in to use the internet..
So this proves that they work..and that the router is set right
but.. on the transformer testing no joy..
I used one at a time to make sure no conflict (froze each in TB)..
So this tells me that I have some sort of "write block" to these settings..
I agree with you on ...

do a "factory reset".

I played within the setup of the Router this morning and tried to set it with an IP.. but no joy..
Once again it is getting back to "I cant change any settings in Static" due to no access..
Will play with the factory reset and also hopefully the upgrade from Prime 1.7 to the new Prime 1.8.1 in the next few days will make this problem disappear..
But... any "Terminal" guru's out there..
Want to throw me a command sheet so I get get my hands dirty in there?
'This works fine on Prime 1.7. Why don't you take a screenshot after you "modify network" and we can look to see if anything looks wrong.
also, what router are you using. It sounds like something is going wrong there. You just need to reserve a dhcp for the device, not change any ip settings.

yes on prime 1.7 flashed Via Nvflash with OC Kernel based on Netarchy's overclock parameters flashed via CWM..
plus power button mods flashed via CWM
So.. la.. somewhere along the line I got this funky thing going with not being able to edit the static sittings..
can enter password
can enter proxy settings
can enter ip settings (option Static or DHCP)
the other 4 are grayed out..
Plus the connect button is grayed out ...
Beats me.. as like I said.. the EVO can hook in with static settings changed..
the laptop can..
Looks like a Re flash of Rom or the deep dark trek in to Terminal..
I'm using the prime 1.7 rom, and the netformer overclocking kernel. Try that combination.
Also, in the version I'm using, when "dhcp" is selected, the dns settings etc, don't show up at all. When I select "static" mode, the other ones show up.
K.. will download now and give it a whirl..
Post back later with tests..
lucky its a slack day at work for me..
Reading your info carefully, you might be doing the wrong thing. Are you "adding" a network, or "modifying"?
Just to be clear, you need to "add" your network in dhcp mode.
Then in settings->Wireless & Networks->wi-fi networks
find the network name(ssid), and press and hold the network name. You will then have the option to "forget network" or "modify network"
Thanks for the suggestions..
Connected!!!!
Flashed netformer overclocking kernel and now can edit the settings..
got it hooked up and running fine..
Also.. hate to say it.. but on my tranny.. the Netformer Kernel seems a like more zippy..
I will set it to 1600 for the week and see how it goes..
never a dull moment when you have so many options available.. lucky us..
and once again thanks to the developers...
My transformer on 3.2 appears to be incapable of saving static IP information while trying to connect. Bizarrely, it has to be connected to a different access point before it'll allow me to properly edit the static IP settings, after which it'll allow me to connect without a problem. If I try to edit it while it's connecting, and then reconnect, it'll forget my settings and go back to obtaining an IP. I think this is a TF bug because I've never had it happen on any of the other Android units we're bringing into the company network.
None of the old Wifi manager apps work on TF, which is annoying because I had location profiles set up that I could easily add. I haven't figured out how to export and import location profiles directly from Android yet, nor how to quick-switch from the internal to the external network (we run two overlapping wifi networks).
Hi,
exist some HOMEBREW app which can let me change the IP address ?
Somebody told me that it exist.
Thanks.
Well, you can easily specify your own IP address for WiFi networks. That's built into the phone.
For the cellular network... I'm not aware of a way, though it probably does exist. I'm not sure anybody has coded it as a WP7 app, though.
Why do you need to do this? Your IP address quite probably changes every time you reboot your phone; why do you need it to be a constant value?

For me this threat is also interested. And why would be practice to be able to put static IP address is simple, what to do when you want to connect in WIFI environment where is no DHCP.
Or let say ISP, give you STB with WLAN on which is not enabled DHCP.
Cheers.
As I said, specifying your own IP address is easy on WiFi (specifically for networks without DHCP). Open the WiFi settings page, press-and-hold on a network, and select Edit. If you connect to a network that doesn't have DHCP, it should prompt you for the settings when you first connect.

My friend, this what you are wrote is written in user manual which I am get with my optimus 7. There is also written that is procedure for connecting on hidden network is press-and-hold on any wlan net and change the name according with hidden net and I could not reach hidden net until I am receive latest fw(few days ago) and I have optimus 7 almost nine month.
In any case, what you are wrote not applies for optimus 7, maybe for some other phone apply, but not for optimus 7, at least with OPN Firmware.
Cheers.
Ah... I don't have an LG phone, so if there's some weird quirk to their WiFi drivers, I can't help you with that. Sorry. :-(
JosipoGo, have you connected your phone to Zune and done updates that way? Go to Settings=> about phone and tell us what version of OS you have.
I am thinking you may be running NoDo on your phone, as anything with Mango or above should have the ability to change IP address. Yes, your shipping firmware (if it is NoDo version) may not have this feature, and it wouldn't be on your phones manual if that is the case.
If you have never done system updates, you should be able to add this feature by preforming the Zune update (if an update is available for your phone).
Does anyone know how to setup a static IP address on the ics rom. I have the silver03wrx collective rom installed on my phone. I have tried all setting and advanced setting and no where do i see or have an option to setup this info so i can access my wifi setup at home. I can set up my network name / security / and password, but i can not add my ip device ip- gateway- dns server etc...
any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks
Nevermind figured it out. it was a little sneeky devil. wooohooo
Here are the steps to set up static ip for anyone needing to do this.
1. go to system settings
2. click on wifi
3. click on add network
4. enter your network ssid
5. choose your security
6. enter your password for you network
7. click save
ok here is where you have to let it find the network, let it connect and aquire an ip address (even thou it is not the correct one) let it do its thing. do not skip this step otherwise you will not be able to configure the ip or save it.
once it says it is connected go back and do steps 1-2
you will see your network and it should say connected.
long press on your network name. it will bring up 2 options.
1 forget network
2 modify network config.
click on modify network config
it will bring up a bunch of settings. scroll down till you see a box that says :" Show advanced options"
click on the box. ( do not save or cancel the window)
scroll down a little bit and you will see 2 boxes
1 proxy settings
2 ip settings <<< click on the lower right hand coner and change this from dchp to static.
once you do this you will see settings under that box input all your info into these boxes *****( leave 3rd box that says " network prefix length" at 24 )******* once you have completed click save and your phone should be connected to you static ip network..
1 ip address
2 gateway
3 network prefix length (Leave this at 24)
4 dns 1
5 dns 2
6 ******* CLICK SAVE ********* not cancel or you will have to repeat the process. LOL Dont ask how i know this 3 times.. LOL
I hope this helps everyone. Sorry for putting up these instructions late, but unfortunatlly i got a little busy trying to fix a loss of root.
If this helped hit the Thanks button.
maybe you could edit your OP or second post and type in the exact solutions, for newer users who may be searching for the same thing? Heck, you may even get some thanks out of it.

ICS WLAN static IP problem solved via App "WiFi Manager"

This is my working solution after 4 hours of learn/search/try:
Since the main problem for us all was the disabled "save"-button I searched for a workaround.
I found an free App "Wifi Manager" by Kostya Vasilyev in the Google Market.
OK, mentioning this app may sound a little spammy but it isn't!
If you make a longclick on the questionable SSID (see 2nd screenshot in Google Market) you have the opportunity to set the static values. And this includes the good old subnet mask.
By the way: Nice info here: "www gadgetwiz com/network/netmask html" about the mystical 24 entry in the ICS static settings. The "Address Prefix Length" is a new subtitution for the old subnet mask.
Best regards,
fredo
Hi,
It seems that my 1S have a wifi issue.
I can successfully connect to a wifi network, but every 2-3 sec signal is lost, then the wifi icon in the status bar disappears, then it reappears and reconnect and so on.
I am running an unlocked german tmobile (from ebay), SW version 1.77.111.5
Is someone else having the same issue?
I dont have a device which is in that connect-disconnect loop, but it does not hold onto the Wifi signal, it seems to want to fall back to using 3G/HSDPA if it can, and only after a few mins of data on the 3G/HSDPA connection does it attempt to connect to Wifi.
Does you Wifi AP broadcast its SSID? Are there many devices on the same Wifi channel as the one you are using? Use Wifi-Analyser to find out.

yes the ap broadcasts its SSID
As for WIFI channel, I'll check it out

I'm having same issue - anyone found a solution.
It is really annoying, as quite often when I go to refresh email/facebook/twitter/ etc its says cannot update (or whatever app error), but if I wait a few moments again, it works. Really annoying when playing Draw Something, as it interrupts the game!
Any ideas - is it phone, or is it something on my router??

I was having this exact same issue. I went into settings, Wi-Fi, Menu, Advanced, and checked the "Best Wi-Fi performance" option and ever since I have had no problems.

Ok i think i had the same issue and i read in some threads around and you can try this:
1 - Connect to your wireless network but in settings disable DHCP and assign an manual IP (and you can disable the "best WiFi performance" because it drain lots of battery.
2 - Take out the SIM cover and pull up with care the contact pins for better connection with cover
Now i have a strong wifi signal without drops, before this i was thinking in return back my 1S but not now.
Sorry my bad English
If i help hit the "Thanks"

I decided to attempt this manual configuration as well...and it works great! Very fast login, and my network speed even seems quicker (although it probably isn't, but who knows)?
But I had a few problems along the way, but managed to fix them. Here is what you need to do:
First, before you do this, you need to use any network info app to see what your wifi router gateway is. You can pick an IP number based on that number... [Also, while it is unlikely anyone did this, you should confirm that the router doesn't do any MAC filtering (this just means the router will only connect with specific devices based on their wifi radio unique ID number... it's a overzealous way to prevent someone hacking your router and it prevents any non-authorized device from associating with it).]
Once you get that info, change the setting under wifi connect from DHCP to "Static", and below this, enter the gateway and a IP number based on your gateway... Most routers have NAT configurations that allow ~100 or 255 devices, like 192.68.X.2 thru 192.68.X.255 (or 10.1.X.2 thru 10.1.X.255) where the IP number where X=1 is typically the gateway. So just pick a number where the last number is between ~10 and 50 (just in case your router hasn't allotted the full 255 addresses). This is a good range to choose from because if your router has DHCP on (which is typical), your household probably does not have more than 10 or 11 devices connected at any given time....so you are picking an IP address at the end of this range.... So for instance, if your gateway is 192.68.1.1, pick a static IP address of 192.68.1.11 or 192.68.1.15.
Below this enter "24" for Network Prefix Length.
Below this, it has boxes for DNS servers. I ran into some problems here. I figured that since my wireless router has DNS servers already configured in its settings, I could skip this (it lets you hit connect without entering then). You can try this, and it may work (depending on your router/setup), but when I left them blank, I noticed frequent reconnections and no signal really at all.
In my case I had to enter DNS server addresses. I already had purchased an app called "Set DNS Pro" (there is a free version though) so I used that to select publicly available DNS servers. If you don't want to use the app, you can enter Google's DNS servers, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, or check with your ISP to use theirs (which they prefer because it is easier to keep track of or control your web browsing).
So my takeaway from this was that if you do not enter DNS, you might have problems.
