[Q] TNT Lite 501 Wifi Obtaining IP Address

Today I upgraded my Stock GTAb to TNT Lite 501 which is great. (thanks)
I created an Ad Hoc Network on my windows 7 laptop and tested it with my IPhone which works just fine.
My GTAB Wifi can see the AdHoc SSID but just recycles with an Obtaining IP Address message.
I did spend a few hours researching this but can not find any usefull info and noticed many people have the same problem.
Anyone have a solution ?
Thanks

add the adhoc connection manually to your tablet:
Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings > Add Wi-Fi Network
This has worked for me (I also use the Wefi app, I have ever since tnt-lite was a baby)
Just tested an adhoc connection (Win mobile phone) with 5.0.1 and it works just fine.

I just tried that a few times but that doesnt work. My AdHoc is on a windows 7 laptop. The SSID is janspc. Added janspc manually to my GTab but the GTab just adds (*)janspc and ignores janspc. Added manually (*)janspc but that doesnt work either.
Any more sugestions ?

Here is an article that I used before the fix to manually connect to Adhoc networks....Hope you can find the answer in here:

I believe that the "hotspot" you are trying to attach to is running on your phone right, I'm not sure that the iPhone puts out an adhoc mode system as apposed to an infrastructure mode network (two different animals)? Then you connect to your phone's adhoc/infrastructure mode hotspot from the laptop. My adhoc connection also shows up as (*)hotspot and uses a wep key nnnnnnnnnn where n=any numeric value from 1-0 if you are offered any other options than "Wep", say wpa/wpa2 the connection may not be an adhoc connection. After the setup is completed you would then go back in and click on the (*)janspc, push the forget button and enter the Pw again (check it before clicking connect) and now check connect. If this does not get it working correctly then see below:
Look carefully at the inclusions to the Wi-Fi file mentioned in the article I linked to previously
Feel free to PM me if you need to

try connectify
Instead of creating an ad hock network you can download connectify and create an infrastructure mode hotspot for your laptop.

[Q] How to connect to wifi 802.1x EAP ?

help me connect to eduroam pls
when i try to connect it says : "scanning ...."then "connecting ...." then "saved, secured with 802.1x"
Sensation XE
fw 3.25
rom : ARHD 6.2.1
ICS

same for me Sony
seems to be an android bug
-scanning-connecting-searching---- "disabled, secured with 802.1x eap"
this is my loop, and no connection at all

Same here :-(
iPhone users can connect fine to my company's 802.1x wifi network, but i can't from my android phones (SE Xperia X10 on Gingerbread & HTC Sensation on ICS)
A google search shows a lot of users having issue in connecting to 802.1x networks since Froyo (Android 2.2). There are worksrounds suggested, but they don't appear to work for me.
It seems the issue still exists in ICS as well :-(

Try LEAP WiFi free (it is in the market) or try to find one app for your comapny.
Leap WiFi works fine for me on IBM EAP APs.
Delete your old saved setting, before creating a new with Leap WiFi.

Finally, I've defeated my CiSCO EAP-FAST corporate wifi network and now all our Android devices are able to connect to it.
The walkaround I've performed in order to gain access to this kind of networks from an Android device are easiest that you can imagine.
I'am a BES, MDM and Lotus Administrator, and btw and iOS lover.
Many of my colleages are Android users, and their claim is always the same.
Why iOS and BB users are able to connect to the corporate wireless network by chosing only WPA2 Enterprise and only needs the network SSID and their Active Directory Credentials?
2 years has passed since I heard this claim from my colleagues for the first time , and until yesterday, all of them remained disconnected even when they had ICS on their devices.
This things made me think about the Android and iOS system differences, and the way the OS developer thinks.
A wireless chipSet is a wireless chipset, and it not depends of the OS installed in a mobile device to have a better compatibility.( not like servers or routers ).
When you setup a Corporate wifi network on iPhone, basically you command the system to use some protocols to connect to, included in the WPA2 Enterprise cabinet. the system check all of the until find the right one to connect.
Android doesn't have the same protocols defined in his WPA2 Enterprise system definitions, so if you try to connect to it by using the main Android interface, you will have an authentication error.
There's a Wifi Config Editor in the Google Play Store you can use to "activate" the secondary CISCO Protocols when you are setting up a EAP wifi connection.
It's name is Wifi Config Advanced Editor.
Firstable you have to setup your wireless network manually as seemful as you can to your "official" corporate wifi parameters.
Save it.
Go to the WCE and edit the parameters of the network you have created in the previous step.
There are 3 or 4 series of settings you should activate in order to force the Android device to use them as a way to connect (the main site I think you want to visit is Enterprise Configuration, but don't forget to check all the parameters to change them if needed.
As a suggestion, even if you have a WPA2 EAP-FAST Cipher, try LEAP in your setup.
It worked for me as a charm.
When you finished to edit the config, go to the main Android wifi controller, and force to connect to this network.
DO NOT Edit the network again with the Android wifi interface.
Tested on Samsung Galaxy 1, 2 and Note mobile devices and on a Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet.
Gingerbread, Honeycomb and ICS.
May the force be with you, my young Padawan

Try the "Leap WIFI free" app from Play Store
Try the "Leap WIFI free" app from Play Store. Its an app provided by a developer called "OneGuyInABasement".
I was having the same issue where I couldn't connect to the (802.1x EAP based) Wifi network at my workplace.
I configured the network through this app and now I can connect just fine.

Leap WIFI free not working with JB 4.2.1
I have tried using Leap WIFI free on my Asus TF700T running the latest OTA update to JB (4.2.1).
While the tool seems to create a network profile, it does not even connect.
Trying to connect to a wifi network that shows up as Cisco EAP-FAST when I connect via my windows laptop
I've tried creating the profile using the built in wifi config editor as well, unfortunately it defaults to PEAP and while it connects and gets an IP address I do not have actual network access (e.g. web browsing fails).
The wifi ACE tool has not been updated to support JB yet either.
Any other suggestions?

[Q] Android Obtaining IP Address - fails

Hello,
I'm having the "Obtaining IP Address" issue, where it just tries and fails (over and over). This only happens at work (works great at home, in hotels, starbucks, etc.).
Protocol: WPA2-Personal / AES encryption
SSID is broadcasted on channel 6
It is _not_ restricted by MAC address.
I do not have any control over it, so cannot reset/reboot the router, and IT dept offers no Android support.
My devices (both fail): Asus Transformer Prime (unlocked/rooted ICS), Samsung T989 Galaxy S2 (rooted Gingerbread)
I can connect to it just fine with my windows laptop, so I know the WPA password I'm using works just fine.
Things I have tried:
1) Reboot device
2) Forget network, add network manually
3) Use static IP (connects, but can't actually go anywhere)
4) Delete /data/misc/dhcp/dhcp_list
5) Delete /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Just says "Obtaining IP Address" - then fails, then scans, then tries again. This is true on both devices. Once again, works fine with Windows laptop.
Does anyone have any idea why this would happen? Given I have absolutely no control over the router, is there anything else I can try?
Thanks a lot in advance!

That happens to me sometimes and idk why it does it either, says obtaining IP adresse over and over again but never says connected, I was trying to connect to a wifi hotspots in a resturant and it did that, tried next week and it worked, pretty weird

WIFI Problems

Hi guys,
Since the JB update I'm having massive problems with WPA2 wifi on both my TF101 and Desire. Wifi scans and finds the network, realises it is WPA2 encrypted and asks for the password, accepts the passwords and tries to connect however it is always unable and says something along the lines of 'saved, secured with wpa....'
Is there any solution because with a WIFI only tablet it limits what I can use it for lol
Thanks

Hi!
Every JB / CM10 ROM I have tested changes my TF MAC. The result, if you have MAC filtering enabled on your TF, is the same you are talking about: you detect your net, your password is ok, but your router won't give you an IP address as your MAC is not in the 'allowed list'.
Maybe you can check that to see if that's the problem.:good:

Bluetooth tethering to other android phone - no internet

Hi guys!
I have an issue with bluetooth tethering between two android phones:
A-Oneplus One cm12.1 latest nightly
B-Xperia SP cm11 latest stable release
Bluetooth tethering is activated on A, and paired up with B. Then I activate the "use internet access" option on the bluetooth pairing settings. Then when I try to access the internet on B, I get a "could not find server" error. It is not a dns issue as the problem is the same when using ip addresses.
I tried to isolate the faulty phone with two scenarios:
I connected a friend's phone running kitkat to A: internet worked fine, which led me thinking that A was sharing its connection correctly and thus B was at fault. But then I connected B to my friend's phone in bluetooth tethering mode: internet worked fine, so B can receive bluetooth tethering internet correctly...
Could it be that lollipop phones have trouble sharing bluetooth internet to kitkat phones? Seems a bit fishy to me...
Is there a command line tool (like pand on old cyanogen phones) to manually configure A or B?
Any ideas? Thank you!

Update:
I ran a netfcg on B: it showed that bt-pan didnt have any Ip address assigned.
So i did
netcfg bt-pan dhcp
ip route add default via 192.168.44.1 (A's ip address).
Now i can ping any internet IP, but I cannot ping web addresses. How do I set the correct dns in this case?
Thanks!
