[Q] Eduroam

Hi all, this is my first post and sorry for my english
I have a big problem with my galaxy sl, i can't use wifi connection (eduroam) in my uni (http://venus.unive.it/wifi/index.php?cmd=eduroam_android Venice)
I have followed the istruction of my uni, but wifi don't work
I have read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477743, i have tryed all versions but the connection don't work
I use miui rom v2.3.23 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538234) with default kernel.
Do u have a solutions???
thanks to all

Hey there!! I also have eduroam in my University and I have never been able to connect it. Sorry then!!

Same problem here (with eduroam and another similar wifi network in my university).
Actually I was able to connect, but it worked few times. Usually after a full wipe my phone connects flawlessly to wifi, but after that connection, another full wipe is needed.
In my case, it seems that the phone is unable to get a valid IP, because using a fake IP, gateway etc (in wifi settings press the menu button and then go in advanced) it will immediately enstablish a connection (no internet connection of course). I tried to put valid infos once (I had with me my laptop connected and I copied all the infos from it, I only changed the last number in the IP) and it worked. That's why I think is an IP problem, but maybe it was luck .
Maybe doing a sort of "wifi config reset" solves the problem (at least in my case), but it means that everytime I should reconfigure it... I simply gave up and I use my 3G connection .
I found this weird workaround time ago, but I never tried it. I think it worths a try.
===
EDIT:
Strange, you use a different config. I thought all Eduroam networks would have used the same config. Here mine's:
SSID: eduroam
Security: 802.1x Enterprise
EAP method: TLS
CA certificate: "Not specified"
Client certicate: the downloaded certificate

i will try ur config next week but, my friend can use edoroam with a acer liquid (2.2 foryo) with config written in university site.
IMO there are a bugs in the kernel of galaxy sl because a lot of android phone can connected to eduroam

Up

I tried again after I saw this thread and I now I'm quite sure that my problem is an IP problem. I played a little with airplane mode/static IP in a random way (as suggested in the link I posted) and finally I enstablished a connection.
Usually, right before the connection, my phone asks the credential password. And that's weird.
Anyway I discovered something interesting. In our /system/build.prop we have:
Code:
...
wifi.interface=eth0
...
wifi.interface=tiwlan0
but
Code:
getprop wifi.interface
gives as result tiwlan0 and that's ok, this is our wifi interface.
But after that I went to see some other config files and I found that in our /system/etc/dhcpcd we have
Code:
interface eth0
I think this should be
Code:
interface tiwlan0
(I found reference to eth0 in /system/etc/wifi/wifi.conf too, but I don't what this file is used for).
I wanted to see if changing eth0 with tiwlan0 in /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd.conf and removing wifi.interface=eth0 from build.prop would have helped, but I had no time and now I'm on holiday.
If your problem is similar to mine, try to do that change, it won't break anything, I already did that and wifi works (at home of course, where I've never had a problem).

I have also eduroam in my university and i am using eduroam fixer and it is working perfectly. İt is in google play and free you can use it

Try this app: Transparent Proxy. Input your wifi proxy and port.
It may work...

I also have eduroam in my university and I've managed to make it work.
You just need to enter eduroam config and set it like this (I have my phone in spanish, so the names could be a little messed up ):
Code:
EAP method: TTLS
Phase 2 authentication: PAP
Identity: [I]"your university mail"[/I]
Password: [I]"your university mail password"[/I]
And leave everything else blank. Hope it works for you guys!!

Wifi disconnected periodically

Hi guys this is my first post in HOX forum, I just got mine 1 week ago.
So the main problem I have so far is that my HOX gets disconnected from wifi at home periodically. It just suddenly drops and then reconnects by itself. Does anyone experience the same? If not I'm considering exchange a new one.
Thanks guys!

I do.. but my router's a POS without an external antennae. so I can't give good answer on that.

Mine does, frequently. I've seen posts regarding the problem, and maybe even a fix. But it doesn't bother me enough to risk breaking something else in the process.

I upgraded to the beastmode kernel and this started happening to me too.
Running the normal CleanROM 4.5 Rom fixed the problem for me.
Last night I took a logcat of when this disconnect happens... But I dont really know how to debug it.

I have the same issue, with an additional problem. When WiFi disconnects I lose mobile data too. Toggling airplane mode brings back mobile data. WiFi may or may not connect for a little bit afterwards.

Why don't you all post up what bands your running on and what you have set on your router. We can map it out a little better

Good idea 18th.abn. I'll start.
With BeastMode Kernel v3 I have this problem. However I don't have the problem with the stock CleanROM 4.5 kernel. I will test CleanROM V with CleanKernel tonight and see if the problem is still there.
I did get a logcat while the disconnect happened... I took a couple and will have to remember which one was which... I don't really know how to read a logcat file though. Anyone good with linux? Does that help at all?
Problem happens with 2 separate routers. I'm a BAMF so I have 2 routers on my home network, 1 to service each band, and only that band.
Router 1:
Name: Linksys WRT320N
Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/16/10) mega
(SVN revision 14289)
Band: 5Ghz N-only, 40Mhz channel width, control channel lower, wireless channel auto.
Security: WPA2-PSK (Personal), AES
Router 2:
Name: Netgear WGR614v10
Firmware: Stock
Band: 2.4Ghz G-only, channel 11, "up to 54mbps mode"
Security: WPA2-PSK, AES
EDIT: added logcats.
Okay, so I suck at this and have forgotten which one is which. I believe it was my latest one that shows the disconnect (logcat 3). I can make another soon enough.
Logcat1
Logcat2
Logcat2

Do you have the same issue on both routers?
In logcat3, it looks like it connects for just a little bit, then once disconnected, it attempts but can't get fully connected again....it was a quick glance but is that the case?

I believe your issue is right here...could be wrong but
W/wpa_supplicant( 7594): [EAP-MSG] EAP [email protected]: eap_methods not available
I/wpa_supplicant( 7594): [SeamLess] This is already connected so rejected to 00:23:69:eb:98:6a
I/wpa_supplicant( 7594): [SeamLess] flag_disconnect is reset i.e., Seamless is give it up
Here is the why its not working, its looking for sim authentification-
To run an EAP-SIM/AKA authentication you will need a client as wpa_supplicant which has access to a (U)SIM. The WLAN access point on the network has to support EAP (which is often transcribed as WPA(2)-RADIUS or WPA(2)-ENTERPRISE). The WLAN AP has to have access to a RADIUS server who handles the authentication and session key generation. The RADIUS server in a productive environment needs for EAP-SIM/AKA access to the home location register (HLR) of the MNO where the (U)SIMs are registered. For testing a file with precreated values for authentication is sufficient.
I think your security is possibly on Wpa2-EAP, Which would explain the eap-sim call, and I doubt you have a RADIUS server giving out session keys to authenticate....double check your security settings

To add. Here's a good little write up in optimum router settings with your wireless n. I see a few things in your setup that could be killing or seriously slowing your wireless connections...
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-basics/30664-5-ways-to-fix-slow-80211n-speed
I would DEF. drop to 20mhz from 40mhz, that alone might fix your problem. I had big problems with tabs and phones connecting at 40mhz. 20 should help a lot and don't select auto, keep at 20.
Wireless channel, u have set on lower channels, lower channels are usually busier, there's an app, wifi analyzer, it will show you the least busy channels and then choose A channel, don't let it bounce around and choose for you.
Dd-wrt has an infinite amount of twee king/tuning options, as you already know but is extremely easy to make a great connection a worthless one all the same...
Try just switching to 20mhz and nothing else at first......it just might be the root issue for you also

Thanks, I'll try that out and report back.

My problem is that WiFi was fine for a while, then would disconnect, and then reconnect a second or two later. However, I did take a look at that guide you posted (I really like smallnetbuilder) and made some changes to my setup that they (and you) suggested. I'm still in the process of testing it.

My security was (and still is) set as WPA2 Personal with "AES" as the WPA algorithm. This is correct for my home network, is it not? At least that's what I set in the "wireless security" tab of dd-wrt under wireless. I see that there is something under "advanced settings" called "authentication type" which has a radio button for "auto" and "shared key". Right now it's on auto. Think I should change it to "shared key"?
"Authentication Type:
You may choose from Auto or Shared Key. Shared key authentication is more secure, but all devices on your network must also support Shared Key authentication."

I just made some changes based on the guide you posted. I also made sure to drop the channel width down to 20mhz (I didn't know that made so much of an impact. Kudos for that piece of advice. I chose to use channel 36, 5.180Ghz, based on my testing with wifi analyzer. No one else in the neighborhood has a 5Ghz router (Apparently).
I'll see what tonight's testing yields.

Awesome, hope it helps! As far as the disconnecting, catalog shows it searching for aes-sim authentification and I don't know why. Its connected, then disconnects because already connected....*LIGHT BULB* Make sure WiFi settings on device is set to 5ghz and not auto.....that may be why its giving a already connected in catlog

Are you saying the WiFi settings on my phone? I won't be able to set it to 5ghz only as I connect to various 2.4ghz networks throughout the day.
I haven't seen the error again yet *knock on wood*
Maybe you fixed it.

Awesome, I bet it was the 40mhz that was doing it glad u got it!

I spoke too soon. I was browsing XDA on my phone, clicked a new page and it disconnected for a second and reconnected immediately.
New logcat. I saved this one only a few seconds after it reconnected. It should say something about WiFi at the very bottom of the logcat file. Do these things even help you guys?

You're solving an issue that doesn't really pertain to the original bug. If anything, start a new thread in general here, but don't bring back this thread because of its lack of relevance.
The issue deals with the WiFi on 4.2.2 (not kitkat) dropping out and coming back in. It's an issue that's based on the kernel we had. Your solution is based on timing out. It's not the same bug.
And just for the record, I'm a user. Just like you are. So what would my job exactly be? Yes, I just started to develop too, but don't accuse me of not caring about helping others. I've been helping out for a long while now. I don't believe we really have "jobs" on this forum because none of us are obligated do anything.

[Q] IPv6 Wifi doesn't get default route CM 10.0

Hi All,
I upgraded to CM 10.0.0 stable this morning and in the course of things noticed that IPv6 wasn't working on my WiFi connection. I have native dual stack available and all my other devices have connectivity for both ipv4 & ipv6 (on WiFi or Ethernet)
After a bit of digging I noticed that the wlan0 interface was getting a global ipv6 address but no default route was being added. The setting that controls router advertisements (RA) for the kernel is /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/wlan0/accept_ra_defrtr The accept_ra_defrtr setting is set to 0 for every interface by /init.qcom.sh I believe.
Code:
#
# Suppress default route installation during RA for IPV6; user space will take
# care of this
#
for file in /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*
do
echo 0 > $file/accept_ra_defrtr
done
If I manually set /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/wlan0/accept_ra_defrtr to 1, I will get ipv6 connectivity over WiFi. The problem is this isn't persistent across reboots. Another potential problem is it contradicts the stated reason for setting the value to 0 in init.qcom.sh which is to let some user space application handle the configuration of ipv6. I suppose I could get it persistent if I added an echo line to put 1 into accept_ra_defrtr for wlan0 only.
This is as far as I could get, so my questions are:
1) What are these user space application(s)?
2) How can I configure the user space application(s) to configure the default route from RA when on WiFi?
BTW, ipv6 works without any fuss when I connect to LTE. I have the Verizon variant of the Galaxy S3.
This thread tipped me to the accept_ra_defrtr
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672490

It seems that this issue has existed for quite some time. After some more searching, I'm finding reports of this issue with somewhat old time stamps. I'm kind of shocked actually because my old Droid X worked with IPv6 on WiFi. I never even thought to test it with the stock GS3 rom I had on my phone before switching to CM10.
Does anyone know if IPv6 on WiFi works with the stock image?
Oh well, the info is out there. Perhaps some day this will get fixed.

[Q] [GT-P6210] WIFI problems after updating to Official JB

Hello,
I got my good ol' GT-P6210 back from my brother, the tab was in Stock ICS. Everything was functional, WiFi was set and working, then I decide to move on into Official JB, Odin did the job normally, then I did Wipe everything in order to start fresh, but now I cannot join my Home Network. There is a strange message saying that there is a problem with the authentication, I saw this error in some Galaxy S3 post but I don't see any reports of this on GT+
The funny thing is that I can join an iPhone Hotspot perfectly, so that will discard any problem with the WPA2, but i'm not sure how to fix this, should I return to ICS?
Regards,

Delete (forget) your network then connect to it again. You will have to re-enter the security info

Yup, I did that
I see that the tablet tries to do the connection for around 30 or 40 secs, then by some reason it desists. After some minutes it displays a message saying about the authentication problem.
I'm going to try to back to ICS, maybe I miss or did something really wrong

I haven;t seen any issues with authentication on the JB ROM. I have seen issues where the channels don;t show up in the US, because this a UK ROM. Try installing an app like WiFi analyzer and see if it gives you any clues. IS your router WPA2 AES?

Yup, I did that yesterday
Also I was able to rollback into ICS (I took the latest official rom, FOP, i guess), and the WiFi worked normally. Once again, after updating into JB, it cannot join my home network except my iPhone hotspot.

I tried several router brands (Linksys and a weird huawei model) and the tab was able to connect perfectly, but not on DLINK routers, except one actually, with a 2011 firnware.
I guess I have to buy another router since my 2640T is not updated anymore since 2007

Getting rid of wlan_rx_wake wakelocks

Hey guys,
have you noticed that your device uses up a lot more battery on certain wifi networks (e.g. at work or university)? It is probably caused by the wlan_rx_wake wakelock.
From the wakelocks database:
Rationale: Wifi chip received a packet from somewhere - On a Galaxy S II, lots of these combined with the fact that the device takes 650 msec to resume from suspend and 150 to go back to sleep means that occasional wifi packets coming in will skyrocket Android OS usage. As an extreme example, run the following from a Linux box when wifi sleep policy is "never" and watch your deep sleep percentages plummet, your battery drain, and Android OS skyrocket: ping -i 5 <wifi IP address of phone>
Know actions: Use a sniffer to determine the cause of the traffic.

So apparently some other device in the network keeps waking up the Nexus. If the problem occurs in your home network you can easily find out which device is causing the problem by using Shark and Wireshark. You'll get a log that shows every network activity.
Here are some tips from a similiar thread at the SGSII-forums (thanks!):
use a static IP instead of DHCP (you may have to set a static IP every time you sign up in that particular network)
disable IPv6 protocol on your phone - see below
update your router firmware
buy a gaming adapter for your Wifi network that gets the DHCP IP adress, but gives your phone a static IP
optimise router settings: click
Windows network is causing the problem - solution here: click
Change wireless network encryption method, change wifi channel, instead of using auto baseband use only 2.4 or 5GHz baseband (Wi - Fi - advanced - Wi - Fi frequency band)
turn off uPNP in router/AP
t urn off netbios in windows network ("Go to Network and Sharing Center then change adapter settings. Right click on your wireless and select Properties.
Click on the ipv4 and then the properties button. Select Advanced, go to the Wins tab and disable tcp over netbios.")
Thoravukk FAQ tells you: Q. My device not entering deep sleep if i use Wifi?
A: That's not a Kernel issue! It's a Router and (Windows 7) Network problem. Disable IPv6, IP Helper service, shell hardware detection service and the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. Source: here
Other apps and devices that can cause the wakelock:
TP Link routers: disable the print server in USB settings
Asus routers: disable AiCloud
disable Dropbox Lan Sync
disable wireless on (HP) printers
disable Canon network scan utility.
Using another kernel might also help to solve this problem: but I haven't tried that yet.
Try out the Franco kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2508284
He has merged some wifi driver patches which should adress this problem. It reduced the wakelocks for me to 1 min in over 8 hours on my home network and to 3 min in one hour ony my university network!
So it should be possible to get rid of this problem in your home network.
But what about work or university networks? There are even more devices connected so the problem gets even worse. In Europe we have the Eduroam wifi network at many universities. If I'm connected to this network I get about 20 min wakeup time in one hour. There are a lot of ARP, DHCP and IPv6 request from different sources. Unfortunately you can't change anything about the configuration on your university/school/work network, so we need to find a solution to block these requests on our phone.
A solution for the IPv6 requests might be to disable IPv6 on your phone if you don't use it. In terminal:
Code:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/wlan0/disable_ipv6
Change the 1 to a 0 if you want to reactivate IPv6. Android resets this setting every time you connect to a network, so you might try Tasker to do this.
I still haven't found a solution for the ARP and DHCP requests though. Any help or input would be appreciated.
Thanks
edit (05/14/14): updated OP with other tips you mentioned

Thanks, this was a useful post. When I am at work on their wifi my phone doesn't go to sleep and definitely drains the battery quickly. Hopefully a better solution can be found.

Hey guys,
have you noticed that your device uses up a lot more battery on certain wifi networks (e.g. at work or university)? It is probably caused by the wlan_rx_wake wakelock.
From the wakelocks database:
So apparently some other device in the network keeps waking up the Nexus. If the problem occurs in your home network you can easily find out which device is causing the problem by using Shark and Wireshark. You'll get a log that shows every network activity.
Here are some tips from a similiar thread at the URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133176"] SGSII-forums[/URL] (thanks!):
use a static IP instead of DHCP (you may have to set a static IP every time you sign up in that particular network)
disable IPv6 protocol on your phone (Dorimanx kernels have an option for this in ST tweaks or you can use "Android Firewall" for this
update your router firmware
buy a gaming adapter for your Wifi network that gets the DHCP IP adress, but gives your phone a static IP
optimise router settings: click
Windows network is causing the problem - solution here: click
Change wireless network encryption method, change wifi channel, instead of using auto baseband use only 2.4 or 5GHz baseband (Wi - Fi - advanced - Wi - Fi frequency band)
turn off uPNP in router/AP
t urn off netbios in windows network
Thoravukk FAQ tells you: Q. My device not entering deep sleep if i use Wifi?
A: That's not a Kernel issue! It's a Router and (Windows 7) Network problem. Disable IPv6, IP Helper service, shell hardware detection service and the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. Source: here
Other apps and devices that can cause the wakelock:
Dropbox Lan Sync, (HP) Wireless printer, Canon network scan utility.
Using another kernel might also help to solve this problem, but I haven't tried that yet.
So it should be possible to get rid of this problem in your home network.

Been having this wakelock as well. Almost all of the packets being picked up by my phone are being sent by my router to random ports. No idea what is really causing it, but it is pretty annoying. Doesnt seem to drain much battery from the device though.

Apparently this is a known problem. Franco has already merged two fixes from Google in his kernel which reduce the wakelock, but still don't eliminate it completely. But I'm sure that this issue will soon be resolved with custom kernels or even an update from Google.

I'm hoping for this to be fixed too. My N4 didn't exhibit this wakelock, and my N5 is not deep sleeping at all when I'm at work as a result. I'm just using LTE at work, which is okay, but still not the best solution.

Franco Kernel didn´t help at all, since he seem to include all the google wifi patches as well, the official Google update is unlikely to solve the problem... so pissed off by this, eating up my battery so quickly I have to switch off wifi completely (and I hardly have cell data reception here at my workplace) ... sucks!

Thanks finally contained this problem.
Thanks for a great summary of causes and the info I needed to finally contain it. This problem had been dogging me since I got the N5 on my home network.
I tried static IP, no good.
I tried wifi-off on sleep, no good (never got to sleep i guess!!).
I tried forcing 5 GHz, no good.
Finally I followed the advice to Disable IPv6, IP Helper service, shell hardware detection service and the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service on each Windows PC, and my stay awake time from Android OS plummeted from hours to minutes which I can deal with.
May not work for everyone, but seems to have done it for me. Thanks again.

Thank you for the post. It makes me nervous that I'm getting this wake lock. I previously got it on my GNex and Nexus7 (2012). I tried every method above to fix but got nowhere. For whatever reason my Nexus 4 didn't suffer from this. Hopefully I can figure something out for my new nexus 5

The update to 4.4.1 does not fix this issue. Still getting this wakelock.

Yes. I found the android OS is still killing the battery after updating to 4.4.1

Wish this would get fixed, as it's my last remaining wakelock issue and the only thing holding me back from getting fantastic battery life.

Try out the Franco kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2508284
He has merged some wifi driver patches which should adress this problem. It reduced the wakelocks for me to 1 min in over 8 hours on my home network and to 3 min in one hour ony my university network!
So it should be possible to get rid of this problem in your home network.

Thanks for this thread. Not sure if it will help or not but I have done all the things in the op and will report back. Have to start somewhere I guess. Although this isn't totally killing my battery in home .8% per hour will sleeping at night It by far is the biggest thing waking my phone. In 9 hrs I have 45 minutes of wake and 35 come from this. If I can get this under control I an sure I can get a little better battery performance. :good:

HP wireless printer
Hi, I have done everything you have listed, though I am still experiencing the wakelock. I have an HP wireless printer so I think this is the problem. Though, what could I do to stop it from creating the wakelock on my phone? This doesn't list what you need to do for the HP printer. Thanks in advance.

Any recommendations for a good modem/router that will not cause these wakelocks?

For those who have tp link routers and get this wake lock, disable the print server in USB settings. It stopped almost all the RX_wake..
Before stopping I used to get some regularly spaced packets from 192.168.1.1 (router) to 255.255.255.255 UDP 7437 .. Bite completely stopped..
Hit thanks if I've helped you.

I might sound like a noob, but where do you find the USB settings to disable the print server?

Have you figured anything out yet? I have also tried everything and still getting this wakelock also.
