Hello,
We have 2 sony xperia s phones at home and i placed cyanogenmod 10 on both phones but now we seem to have the same mac address. Thus, if I go on the internet with one phone, the other will get rejected (connection with the internet is lost). Only one device can use wifi at the same time. Is there anyway to resolve this problem? I read the forum and I have seen the method for temporarely change (which, btw, doesn't work for me either) of mac addresses, but since we both had a different mac adress before using CM10, there has to be a way to change it permanently I guess.
Thanks in advance. Kind regards,
Siemie

I rarely post questions because most that I have had have been answered already and I can find what I need through searching.
However the amount of apparent confusion in the questions and answers on this subject has made it impossible to figure this out.
I cannot reliably connect via wifi on my Wizard running XDA Mobile 6.
Problem:
1. Wizard connects to Wifi, but does not correctly get DHCP.
Okay, a pda is pretty useless as a wifi device if it can't receive a dynamic address, but I set up a static IP (on the Wizard) to work with my router, and deferred diagnosing this until after I actually have wifi working at all.​2. Wizard cannot seem to choose a DNS server.
It apparently tries to use the GPRS dns server to resolve addresses, and can succeed, but this is slow. If I disable the phone it uses the DNS I entered (my wifi router). and works precisely as it should, resolving domain names almost instantly, just like the other wifi devices on my network. With the phone turned on the DNS address seems to be ignored​
Is there someone out there who can address this problem? Maybe I need a primer in the serpentine methods Windows Pocket PC uses to configure itself to connect to networks, because it certainly doesn't seem the least bit logical from this writer's perspective.
Thanks.

Yes, I had the same issue with most 6.0 ROMs here. But TNT 6.0 ROM works without changing DNS manually. Haven't checked the root cause is ...... You might install TNT ROM to see whether it resolve your issue.
That's some kind of DHCP problem.
I don't have it with my cooked ROMs.
When DHCP is used to get an IP address, it also gets the DNS servers sent back in the same response packet. So if you disable DHCP (or it fails) you need to manually configure both it and the DNS addresses.
Exactly my point.
It's clear that the problem is a DHCP client failure. There are plenty of posts here saying things like, "try a different ROM" etc. The information I am looking for is how to fix it.
Uh, try a ROM that doesn't have the problem?
The ones I've run (including my own cooking) work fine.
oops- double post
I was sort of hoping for a registry key to edit or other setting...
DHCP is working, for example on Remote NDIS-host (activesync connection), so it seems likely that there might be another solution.
I will have a look at your ROM, Genesis3.,
Hi, My friend and me flashed and installed Android on our HTC HD2 today, we used the same roms and method.
When we try to connect to the same wireless modem, we keep disconnecting each other. I Think it might have to be something to do with the IP address.
As we used the same Rom and method to install android on our phones, maybe we have the same IP?
Any help is appreciated.
That can be be the case. check your settings in the wifi settings under wireless and networks and see if you both have the same IP address. then go from there. post your results.

Asked the same question in the HTC HD2 Q/A. This worked fine for me.
Thank you so much. testing this right now,
Just for future notice, its
"wifi.mac_address=00:12:23:34:45:56"

As a point of reference, I am using a rooted HTC G2 running GingerVillain 1.5.
I have been trying to manually connect to my University's wifi (UT of Arlington if it's any help) The Xpress connect app they recommend does not work as it does not detect the network or something or rather. I don't want to mess with it anymore as it would be better to have the settings OS based than app based unless there is no other way.
So, I tried to set it up manually according to what my computer had set up: PEAP with MSCHAPV2. Android only offered "none specified" for user or CA certificates. It acts like it is going to connect, then promptly disconnects.
I think my problem is similar to this topic which was resolved: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576407
However, whenever I pull wpa_supplicant.conf and change anything, Wi-Fi won't start on the phone. Is there something else I need to do to get a modified one to work? I'll probably still have to play with some settings to get it to actually work with my university.
Ok, I found this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=692254 which fixes the wifi crash when rebooting after modifying wpa_supplicant.conf I'll have to see if I can get the network to work next time I can go to school.
Hello gyus, my problem when i tried to connect to wifi hotspots i couldn't get connected... i Dont know for sure if they had access to the internet but i could not even establish a connection.the same problem with the bluetooth it couldn't find any bluetoooth device on search) but i probably can't connect to open ones.... Any suggestions?
I have htc touch hd t8282 with wm6.5
thanks very much
Your thread lacks a title and your question is difficult to understand.
You complain about not being able to connect to hotspots but dont give any information about those hotspots.
Most likely they are password protected or have device restrictions through MAC addresses.
Some could have internet but require certain network settings.
You can't find any bluetooth devices? Maybe none are around or the ones that are around are not set to visible.
What do you mean by "can't connect to open ones" ?
im hungry
*EDIT*
best advice would be to search the forum of the ROM you flashed. If no one else is experiencing the problems you are then its probably just a bad flash and I would suggest a re-download and re-flash. Is this a problem since you flashed or just one that started to occur? I tend to agree with all points posted above. Good luck!

If you are connecting by a modem/router then in the firmware you can set one of the devices on your network to use it's MAC address so all devices appear to have that Mac address. As for changing the Mac address from withing the phone, don't know how it can be done or even if it can be done as I suspect the address is fixed to specific hardware.
It can be done, but I doubt its legality. It has to do with messing around with mmcblk0p3 iirc
