Can I use a static IP address?

I wanted my Sensation to connect to my wifi network with a static IP address instead of DHCP and did not find a setting for that. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance

Hmm, Interesting question. I don't know what ROM you're on, I had a quick look in mine (CM7) and couldn't see a setting. I did have a look on the market, searched for "static" and a couple of "static IP" suggestions popped up. You could try them.

of course you can. menu -> setting -> wireless & network -> wifi settings, then press menu, click "advanced", and checked the Use static IP.

LOL, forgotten about that. Doh.
Not used it in ages, last time was to confirm WIFI sleep policy on my Desire.

[Q] ICS and Static IP address.

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

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

before you connect to your wifi, where it asks you for passphrase, just tick the "advance" option, then tab on dhcp, then select static, here is where you specify your dns.

Longpress the network in the settings menu, select modify and click advanced. Set it to static and there you go, manually settings.

Just ask one of your friends weather their wifi is connecting or not. If yes. Just copy their IP address, that's what I do

Well I don't use that menu, I use the one in settings > mobile networks > preferred network type
And i'm not sure what your disconnection issue is.

Where it says 'WCDMA Preferred' tap that, as it has the arrow, and the LTE/GSM option should be there.

You don't see anything for LTE/GSM?
And what i meant about using data is try to use your signal data, like in maps, the internet, etc, and see if it connects.

No results using data/signal for maps etc, displays error unable to connect, occasionally does get connected a for some time only.........OR on and off connectivity .....unstable.
With Color OS no issues, only when flashed to others like CM 11S or Madi.........
Thanks.

I was washing my dishes and it occurred to me that you said you had the chinese version: That doesn't have the bands that support LTE here in the states, so you are most likely wasting your time on that.
Additionally, the reason why the data probably works on the colorOs rom is cause the APNs are different, which will default to the 2/3G network. You many have to change your APN values in the other roms.
