Hi,
Hoping someone might be able to provide info to figure something out. I bought a acer liquid and when I go to wireless controls in the settings menu, there is no "VPN Setup" menu item. I have contacted Acer support but they are hopeless!!!
Can anyone thing as to why the VPN menu is missing? Would it be that something configure wrongly at build time of the rom/system.img? Is there something I can edit on the phones system to enable this menu?
I have been extracting system.img files for my phone rom as well as HTC Hero and the android emulators, to make comparisons and see if something is different that might give me VPN setup back. No luck so far. About to download the android source code to investigate further. Hope someone can shed soem light on the matter for me.
Cheers!

Thanks for the reply but I have google searched already. Not looking to install a VPN app when android 1.6 support it. I see the VPN setup option on the emulator but it not on my phone and the acer manual even has a section stating how to setup VPN. Yes its not there on android and Acer just never reply. hopeless.
I suspect there is no answer except acer need to rebuild and release an update but just hoping someone might have seen this before on android v1.6 and up.
Hi,
I need the captivate to be able to connect to a adhoc wifi network created using my laptop. However, android doesn't seem to be supporting it, just access point networks. Has anyone tried this, any success?
Searching revealed one thread where a guy modified some code on an htc phone, and got it to work, but seemed a little dated. Not sure if that would work with the android 2.1 and the Samsung phone.
Help appreciated.
The Captivate can connect to ad-hoc networks, but not through the native GUI interface. I tested mine via adb shell issuing some iwconfig commands via script to connect to a MyWi router on a friend's iPad. It's buggy, to say the least..

agentdr8,
Thanks for the reply.
Care to share details on the commands you ran? Or are you saying it's not worth it because it's so buggy?
thanks
To avoid a hard lockup, start with the wifi turned off. I tested it numerous times with it already on, and it resulted in a battery pull.
You'll need busybox 1.7x (maybe 1.8x will work too?). You'll also need a working iwconfig binary (I symlinked mine from the WifiTether app dir: /data/ext2data/data/android.tether/bin to /system/xbin)
With an adb shell, try something like this:
$ su
# /system/xbin/ifconfig eth0 up
# /system/xbin/iwconfig eth0 mode ad-hoc
# /system/xbin/iwconfig eth0 essid YourEssidHere
# /system/xbin/iwconfig eth0 key WEPkeyhere
Now with wifi turned off, these commands will all error since the interface is down/off (eth0 is the wifi, at least on my Cap). Turn your wifi on and rerun the same commands, followed by:
# netcfg eth0 dhcp
This may or may not error out, but ultimately, you should see a dhcp address for eth0 as handed out by your dhcp server/mywi device.
You may need to also manually add the ad-hoc network in the GUI with its key. I can't remember if I needed that or not, but with it I can see the connection status and when it's grabbing the IP. Even shows connected and signal strength once it does connect (assuming it doesn't lockup).
agent can you help me pls. Im a newbie still.
Do i run all those commands in windows when my phone is connected or do i run it through something like terminal emulator an app on the phone??
You can either use adb shell on your Windows machine (part of the Android SDK), or you can use a terminal on the device itself (ConnectBot is my preferred). Your phone needs to be rooted if it isn't already.
Okay, I'll try out the connectbot. Can you tell me how to do this part then if it's needed??
"You'll also need a working iwconfig binary (I symlinked mine from the WifiTether app dir: /data/ext2data/data/android.tether/bin to /system/xbin)"
how do you do this symlinked part?? I don't really understand it.
I tried ur commands without doing the symlinked part....everything just returned a "not found" message.
Maybe you could give me a dumbed down step by step way of doing this hahahaha??? Im rooted and i have busybox 1.7x, just missing the working iwconfig because im not really sure what it is.
If you're not too familiar with linux commands, it would be best to wait for someone to build a widget/GUI app around this, as poking around in a root shell on your phone is never a good idea if you're not aware of the potential consequences of blindly running commands.
It's possible that with the Froyo update adhoc connections may just work as intended, not that I've read anything that suggests that.
The portal had a write up on how to connect an android device to an adhoc network a couple days ago.

Okay, i'll go look for it though a link would help.
Maybe i'll just wait until something like Cyanogens ROM comes, i hear it usually comes with ad-hoc connectivity.

only problem is it's compiled for froyo and i think geared towards the Desire according to the replies.
I feel like it might mess up my captivate
Well if you're computer is windows7 you can use a program called conectify.
It makes win7's adhoc networks work as real hotspots

Issue isn't on iPhone-end, nor wpa-supplicant end (as the wpa-supplicant binary included in the android wireless tether app has this ability).
The problem is the GUI end of things (i.e., settings.apk) ALSO filters the results.
So it goes beyond simpy modifying the wpa-applicant (yes; this is sufficient for the basic-functionality), but is very crude & diffcult to do on the go from the tiny terminal emulator, etc.
What I've personally been looking for, is an update that modifies the neceasary files, and enables this extewmely useful function.
Something similar to the update package posted for the froyo-build, but instead for the ECLAIR-2.1 build of the captivate.
If anyone knows of anything availible like I'm describing (a GUI-centered mod that will remove ALL the STUPID damn (pardon language lol) IBSS filtration form the settings.apk, wpa-supplicant, wireless configuration files, etc for the ECLAIR-2.1 build of the Captivate so that it JUST WORKS lol -- this way we can SEE and CONNECT via our native GUI .
I've gotten this to work through running command line / configuration file hacks, but it's very messy/annoying AND to make things MORE annoying, once you've put it into Ad-hoc mode and have it all setup very nicely, guess what? The settings.apk application (which is needed to load the device into kernel), will actually COMPLETELY UNDO all the tedious command line efforts you've just made, and takes the wifi chip out of Ad-hoc mode every x amount of minutes! ARGH!! LOL!
Anyway, I've gone through the source code and patch diff's myself and it really doesn't seem very involved. I actually was planning on compiling the necessary modded binary (making a nice update.zip for all the frustrated captivate owners like myself lol), but I simply haven't had the time to setup the build environment for it at the moment (have several other build environments I'm juggling as it is with work).
Anyway, I apologize for the rant lol -- I just wanted to clarify exactly what is needed and point out it really wouldn't be much work (and would be VERY much appreciated!!!!) if someone with the skill, time, and a build environment for the galaxy s (captivate, speifically lol , could post an eclair mod for us -- you would receive AN ENORMOUS amount of praise & thanks lol .
OR -- if someone who has a little time, could simply modify the android wireless-tether-app to have one extra feature, 'connect to ad-hoc network' lol . This would also be ideal, as it already fully supports the initialization & loading of the captivate wireless driver properly, and can fully manage the interface & connections while running in the background (independent of settings.apk). PLUS -- it even already has full ad-hoc support built into it's own pre-packaged wpa-supplicant. Basically, all the hard work has already been done with the wireless-tether-app, just need a few extra functions to handle scanning for networks and connecting to them (relatively simple, considering they've already done ALL the hard work..lol)..
Okay, my rant is officially done! Lol! I just hope this helps those who have the capability to help, give a clear picture of all that's required. It's late, so some of this stuff may have already been mentioned and I missed it! Shoot, maybe someone just finished doing exactly what I just went on & on about? Lol.
In any case, if anyone is willing to help out -- or already knows of a solution already out there I've missed -- PLEASE let me' know! This functionality would truly help a great deal in my day to day work with my captivate! Thanks in advance!!!
holy need a bump batman!
i would really like this too!

Would one of the Dev's be willing to tackle getting VPN PPTP with encryption (mppe 128 or 256) working on the G-Tab? Right now it is either not working or working as unsecured PPTP (depending on the ROM). If anyone knows of a ROM where this is functional please let me know.
What little I have found on the history of VPN in android indicates that the last version with encrypted PPTP was version 1.6. Google was having problems keeping a connection to the VPN server.
Reference: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4706
For myself and my coworkers this has become an important need. If we can't get the feature we may be forced to get iPads (*cringe*). I for one am willing to make donations to Dev(s) who can add this. Some ROMs have the option but seem to be lacking the module (unconfirmed) to handle encryption through the included PPPD.
It is possible this may come back in Android 3.0 since it is geared toward tablets but I haven't been able to find any information either way.
Thank you for your time.

Did you try one of clemsyn's latest kernels - they have the tun support. Also on market place there is an OpenVPN app that attempts to install an openvpn binary - that same dev also has an OpenVPN settings app that you can use to create your tunnel. Perhaps that will work for you.

I can currently get a VPN connection, but the server refuses it because it isn't encrypted - even with the encryption option on. I'll try clemsyn's kernel. I noticed he posted one specific to the ZTab ROM recently.

No luck. Tried the new kernel and still get the same error. G-Tab shows connection lost. Server log shows same error (port 47 blocked or unable to negotiate encryption). Since our laptops all work I'm going to assume port 47 isn't blocked on our network. Maybe not enabled on G-Tab?
Which ROM are you using?
EDIT: nevermind - I see zpad rom. Did you try the vegan rom or tnt rom?
I am setting up a server with two cards and windows server 8 and an accesible ip just as test lab for this. If any dev wants access pm me.

Try this, I enabled everything re: PPP in this kernel including PPTP and also enable MPPE (Microsoft PPP Encryption). I hope this helps. BTW, this MPPE is experimental in the kernel but I hope it works for you.

Brillant! I have a connection! From home even. Many Thanks! (but I can only hit the button once...)
I'll keep an eye on it and see how long the connection lasts. That seemed to be the bug that killed Google's interest in this. With luck it wont show because someone tweaked over it.
I'll spread the word. Thanks again!!
Update: Unfortunately the data traffic stops within a minute. The connection stays up and reports a server connection just no data passes. This is the same issue as Google has in it's bug report. I"ll look at the server logs in the morning to see if anything is reported, but it is at least a step in the right direction.
BTW: The GUI seems a bit faster. Were there any other tweaks in that kernel?

I might have to take a pause on this since I'm having issues with my Gtab at the moment. My screen turned white and I can't see a thing. I was playing angry birds and noticed that my screen sensitivity turned bad and a few seconds later it turned all white. I might have to get a replacement for my Gtab
I can build the kernel for Vegan tab but there is no way for me to test it but it should work fine
I read a post that doing this might fix it:
Add the following to /etc/pptpd.conf
mru 1280
mtu 1280
Please try and see how it goes.
More Info
I had our network admin look at the VPN server logs for my connection. No errors or warning from the server.
One interesting thing to note, it seems that when the data transfer between the tab and the VPN server stops it's only one way. I was able to send mail out from the tab, but not receive mail or view web pages. I'm wondering if the decryption side (incoming to tab) of MPPe is broken. That could explain why the server keeps a connection, but the data flow seems to stop.
Could we steel code from a linux kernel that works?

Upload the file and ill make a zip file for you to flash it.
So close ... I think Google may need to work out a few of their bugs first.
First off a big thanks to clemsyn for the hard work. (I used Root Explorer to copy the file pptp.conf)
Using the latest kernel posted here for VeganTab I was able to connect to a MS PPTP VPN and ping for a long while however just like my Samsung Vibrant the VPN appears to die once a burst of traffic is shot through the tunnel. The tunnel I have discovered is not disconnected but unusable through the Android system. If I disconnect the VPN session remotely the log files indicate that the remote server killed the connection. Not sure much can be done as now I feel I am hampered by Google's inability to care for VPN access. I am sure the developers here can figure this out but why should they have to figure this out when it seems to be a fundamental issue with Google's code. Maybe this disconnection does not happen with OpenVPN? Anybody use it? I am tempted to setup a test OpenVPN server just to see how long I can keep my connection.
BTW ... After remotely killing the VPN connection the VPN services crashes and throws up an exception in the back ground when terminating the service.
Not working. I might try without the encryption in the server side to check if that works. It actually connects (pings) a couple of seconds with the LAN computers... then it nevers connects again... even with reboots. Does the pptpd.conf only need those two lines?
I found this site which may help
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6402
A user stated this:
"Hey! Saw another post elswhere in the forum. For Microsoft VPN using PPTP, I think it helps to disable Software Compression in Routing and Remote Access Manager on the Windows server hosting VPN. After I did that, I was able to connect to VPN.
In Routing and Remote Access Manager, right click on the server in the tree and select Properties. Then, under the PPP tab, uncheck Software Compression. I am the Sys Admin at my Co, so I was able to do this myself. Others may have to submit a request to your respective Sys Admins. Besides, who uses compression on VPN's since the death of Dial-up?
Good Luck!"
What up everyone!
As we all know, Zdzihu has released zKernel that is capable of many things, one of which include full netfilter support (droid wall & wifi tether). I know that many of have used barnacle wifi but one of the issues I had with it was that it sets up an ad hoc network to allow wifi tethering. The problem with android is that, for whatever reason, it can not connect to ad hoc networks. As such those of us with android tablets or other android phones could not tether using our X10s.
Now fast forward to today. The zKernel (probably other ones by Goro kun too) has full netfilter support but how can we use it? Well, rather simple. Download this handy dandy app from this here link:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
I downloaded the latest evo 4g version for eclair and wifi tethering works! Now I've got my X10s tethered with each other. No more ad hoc support via barnacle wifi for me!
Note: Remember to install zKernel first! Also, I had issues with connecting to a secure network via this app. However, there is an option to enable access controls that allows you to authorize connections.
Thanks to all the developers for making this possible!
Installation Instructions:
1. Download & Install Z's zKernel via Xrecovery found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135475
2. Download apk in the link in the middle of the page.
be more specific about the kernel, as far as i know the best way to tether is whit bernacle thats on our x10,, and for the use of os tether i read on zdzihu page that is kernel related...

Not trying to start a fight but how more specific do you want me to be? Please read my post carefully as I do mention Z's zKernel not only in the name of the thread but in the OP multiple times too. I will bold them for your entertainment as well as provide a useful link to Z's thread. To my knowledge there is only one zKernel that was released as of today's date of 6/22/2011. Please let me know if you know of any others. Additionally, I do mention the use of barnacle wifi in the second sentence above and the problem associated with it. But what if you have another android device? How do you tether it using barnacle wifi?
Thanks for your concerns but please read a bit more carefully as this does relate to a kernel.
can u upload the app u are use? please, because i download more than one but without sucess, only get ad-hoc mode =/

Yes, me too! Only ad-hoc mode!
Still, it's better than Barnacle though, more stable!
Hey all. Looks like I made a mistake. In my haste and excitement I automatically thought the app was not running an ad-hoc mode because I was able to tether my other X10 (with no sim/service) to my X10 that had service/sim. After reading the FAQ of the android-wifi-tether app, I found that it does indeed connect via ad-hoc mode.
The FAQ can be found here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/FAQ
My understanding was that Android devices could not connect to ad-hoc mode so I wonder why this app is different from Barnacle. I tried connecting via Barnacle to test if it would work but to no avail.
Original post started in not very good style and I decided to change it to be as usefull information.

For those of you who may have tried to connect your recently updated ICS Transformer Prime to your cell phone using the wifi tether app, you may have noticed that your tablet would not pick of the signal from your phone. We are running an ATT Samsung Galaxy SII here and had wifi tether 3.1 beta 6 installed from a few months back. Before upgrading to ICS on our Prime, we had successfully tethered Honeycomb 3.2.1 to the phone without a problem at all. After the upgrade to ICS we wanted to test some of the wireless connectivity issues and decided to tether to our phone once again to get Speedtest results and noticed that we couldn’t see the phone’s hotspot.
In launching the trusty wifi analyzer app, we noticed that the tablet was “seeing” the hotspot in the wifi analyzer app, however, there was a little red designation at the end of the hotspot information denoting “ad hoc” and we were not able to connect or even given the option to connect to the hotspot. In doing some reading on this and finding that in other forums there were many other users saying that after upgrading to ICS they were no longer able to connect to their hotspot, we assumed this was definitely something with ICS. Officially, Google does not support ad hoc networks in ICS apparently.
However, the upside to all of this is that if you upgrade your wifi tether app to the latest and greatest, which in our case was 3.1 beta 11, we were able to select the option in the wifi profile to be the infrastructure mode as opposed to ad hoc mode for our Samsung Galaxy SII. After performing the update, and changing the profile to infrastructure, we were once again able to connect our ICS Prime to the wifi tether app.
It is yet to be seen if this is functionality Google is simply not support from this point forward or if this is just an early ICS quirk that will be resolved with a later update.
maby this is the issue
Finnaly this can be solved by having windows vista in infrastructure mode... Windows xp haven't been build to provide such stacks.
