I tried using wifi but it doesn't work. It says "the message could not be sent. check that you have network coverage."
3. what is the best gps to use with the tilt? I couldn't get tomtom to work because it couldn't detect my internal gps.
4. any awesome programs I should know about?
I don't know much about it but I would read a thread like this if your keyboard is messed up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334911
thats perfect thanks man! but how do i install?
For TomTom, try this thread.
For email, are you using your own WiFi, or a hotspot somewhere? I find that when I am at home and using WiFi, I need to set my SMTP server to my ISP's, but if I am away from home and using GPRS I have to set the SMTP server to that of my mobile provider. I would guess it's the same for using different Wifi networks, since most won't allow you to send email via SMTP server A whilst connected to a network using SMTP server B. This is called relaying, and is to prevent spam mail being sent. Course I could be totally wrong, and your problem is something else!
Can you surf the net via WiFi? If so, try setting the device up for hotmail (just get a hotmail account if you haven't got one) and try sending mail from Hotmail. If you can do this, its more likely either a SMTP server problem, or go through the email settings menu, click on advanced server settings and see what the network connection is. It should be "The Internet".
For a must have program....since you seem to be using the phone for internet connections, get Opera Mobile. It's free and a substantially better browser that the stock Pocket IE. Other than that, browse the forums, you will find so much! Have a look for my post in this thread. Lots of idea's for programs!
im using my own wifi at home. I am not paying for data connection and i have it blocked. how do I set up SMTP?

1.) Get the keyboard fix, its in the CAB list, its under "Tilt keyboard fix".
2.) Try seeing what it is connecting to and if your wifi modem is letting it connect to it
3.) Probably Tom Tom the one made for the tilt. Its on here somewhere.
4.) CAB List has some . PM me and I will tell you some more in detail.

Why do people try to drive people away from the tilt? Most of the regular users wont see the problem, they will just see that its a bit slow when doing things and overall its a great phone. If you see that its a slow phone then you are over using it.

hey guys,
I have got the XDA Stella (also known as Kaiser) and i herd you can make this phone act as a modem. basically i got an archos (media tablet with internet) which i want to be able to use the internet on my archos through the phone. only problem is i have no idea how to do this or what to get?? can anyone advise please. it would be through wireless or i can do through USB, but was wondering how to do it.
thanks in advance
Shane
Your trying to use your phone as a computer modem right.
If so what you do is this. link computer to phone via usb.
mine then ask me if i want to internet share i click that then click done. if you dont get that option try going to start/programs/connections/internet sharing
that should do what you need.

Erm he wants to share the connection with an Archos, not with a PC. That won't work.
To the OP: USB most likely won't work, as the Archos certainly won't recognise the Kaiser. On the PC it requires Activesync and its drivers to be installed to work. We never know, you can try running internet sharing onto USB and plug it into the Archos, and see...
Otherwise you'd have to use WMWifiRouter or the manual hack to share the connection over Wifi. Beware that sucks battery down like hell on the Kaiser, don't expect more than 2 hours on a full battery.
Whats the Wifirouter you mean just on a normal computer or is it software to buy for the kaiser, and the manual hack am i likely to get caught by my service provider??
there is a option to adhoc to a computer, i was wondering if there is a way to change that to the archos?
also whats the manual hack or where can i find it??
Hey man all you have to do is use search, this topic has been discussed for at least a year now..
wmWiFirouter is a program that turns your phone into a wifi access point. Again, search has all of that info for you plus tons of other great knowledge.

Hi ,
I have Donut 1.6 and Im trying to connect to my corporate network which uses WPA2 (AES) and requires Verisign vertificates, but the android is not detecting the settings properly and even when i manually configure it, its showing the certs as empty.
Bottom line, iPhone connects to the network in a flash. G1 never did. Any idea if its possible to do this with Donut or not yet ?
I dont know why Google is not trying to make corporate users happy ?
Any help or advice is appreciated !

Any advice on how to do this from within the phone itself ? (Mine is rooted and running AOSP 1.6)
For some stupid reason Android drivers dont install properly for me. I have tried tons of articles and fixes nothing worked. So I cant adb.
Also any idea where I could find the verisign.pfx ? where is it usually located ?
Thanks alot for any help.
Your company should be providing the certificates. You can try running cyanogen mod which has enhanced credentials storage. Maybe it will work on there. Also, i gave the instructions to push that file on the phone in the other thread.
Hi, well those certificates are usually sent automatically once a device is connected to the network. I dont place those certificates manually.
Also when using an iPhone it usually asks for username and password. In the case of Android its only asking for password. Which wont get me anywhere. I think android is still not ready to connect to certain corporate networks..... :S
I tried the push instructions throught another computer but it didnt find the certificates.
Thanks anyways for your help mate.....appreciate it !
No problem. However, when its asking you for a password, is it for Credentials Storage?
You need to enter a strong password there as thats where all the settings for connecting to the network will be.
it asks for the credentials password first then the wireless pass. but never a username ! :s
hm... thats weird
did you try using the Wifi helper app on the market? the free version may be able to help you out
ok.....the good news is Wifi helper finally managed to connect me to the network
The bad news is my network uses a proxy server.......so setting the android to use the proxy turns out to be another problem
Any advice on this is VERY much appreciated !.
Thanks again
So last semeester my nexus had no problem connecting to my schools WPA network. But now all the sudden i cant connect. My laptop connects just the same as it always did (so i dont think its an issue with the network) has anyone had an troubles with WPA2 Enterprise recently? I have been flashing a few roms lately, but it didn't work on CM6 or Enothmers.
Ok so after doing some reasearch it appears that this is something that the Froyo update broke. This is very aggrivating not being able to connect. My schools network is 802.1x EAP and I cant connect to it after the Froyo update. This is BS. Anyone have this and solve it?
I've *never* gotten on my work Wifi..
Hidden SSID
802.1x
EAP=TTLS
auth=PAP
It just never sees the network as the above which I've set... When it does see the network, it thinks it's WEP.
yeah, im not sure what the heck happened in the Froyo update but no matter what settings i put it too. I know my password and user is correct because I am using the same login on my laptop (and yes we can login multiple times)
Ok so there is an Issue on googles website devoted to this topic here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1386 for anyone having this issue (or would like to add a comment anyway to support people who are) please post here

BTW in my case I wasn't clear; I've never gotten it to work on Eclair or Froyo. Same exact behavior. So are you saying this worked for you before, but not now? Odd... Must be slightly different configuration than mine, or that bug post..
And yes, that post is the one.. Now that I've finally rooted my phone, maybe I'll try tweaking some files per that bug...
supposidly CM6 RC3 has a fix for this, but I havent gotten around to checking yet, if you do find a non rom dependent fix please let me know (i dont use CM).

Well, the bug you logged has wpa_supplicant configuration which people say should work, it (AFAIK) is not ROM dependent, but does require root of course.
I might try this today and see what happens. Unfortunately i'll still be stuck here at work as all external connections require a (non-transparent) proxy to work, and Android doesn't handle that well either, but there are some things I'd like to be able to do internally if I needed to, such as IM or hitting an internal web page.
So yeah, assuming their efforts is successful and they manage to set up their wifi to deny access to rooted devices, is there anyway around this without unrooting?

There used to be a module called Root Cloack(er) for Xposed frameworks that hides root, don`t know if there is a version for Marsmellow though. Its here on the XDA forums somewhere.
But how? I can't think of any way to detect a rooted/jailbroken phone from a Wifi connection, without you having to install or run some other piece of software/script that would give them that information.

I'm not sure. I would not put it past my company to make us install such a script in order to access wifi.
Many places are doing this. Detecting root is simple. Even Snapchat and others are doing it. Heck they are even looking for xposed and won't work if detected.
You would be amazed at what info people can get from your device when it's connected to wifi

a lot of info sure... But an app running on your phone detecting it, vs detecting that something is installed simply by connecting to their network? Your phone passes along a lot of info... but not installed binaries?
I could see them maybe having a black list, like if you're connecting the the exposed repositories your likely rooted... but if you are not using programs that require root access and communicate over the network, how are they doing this?

A simple request for the info. Have you ever looked at a logcat and saw everything running. I could be gone for weeks and come home and tell you every device that has ever connected to my network the whole time I was gone and with the right things in place could even tell if they are rooted or jailbroken
I can see the same as the poster above me on our network, it is not hard at all. And if we had such a policy and you used a cloaker I would have you fired.
Their network, their rules. I really don't think you should do this.

Can you provide any links or further detail? Obviously by viewing system logs you can tell whats running.... but I have never seen any standard network function to request a connected device to send logs without permission? Google searching the topic provides little info as its saturated with info on how to root, and using root for ad blocking.
Even a brief overview of the setup you would use to check? What are "the right things" and what "place" would the need to be in?

I wont get into it too deeply as I have my guys that watch this site as well and If they go around my security setup like with exchange pin request or using some devices on my network I will fire them on the spot. Lets just say the router logs everything that is done on the network. Connect your device to your wifi and then watch a logcat. You should be able to see what you are looking for.
Understand that unless approved by me no device can connect to my network. With the right router you can see everything about a device. you wont find much info on google as things like this are kept close to the chest with the IT crowd

No one here is trying to connect to your network. It's XDA and people are curious. I agree that it's silly to circumvent measures used by the company you work for (assuming you want to keep working there), but I also find it strange that you connect to a network and have that router, etc tell if your phone has a specific binary and apk. Is that what you are claiming happens?

This is not possible to limit an android version via network traffic, the best they could do is catch you updating cyanogenmod and ban your mac by guessing that your rooted, but its so much work, its a bunch of empty threats.

It can yes. And you are right this is XDA but you would be amazed at what info is not shared here or anywhere except between IT managers or other devs.
Once connected to a network it is not that hard to get everything from a device. This is why all the warnings about connecting to open networks. While Open networks are more of a risk it goes to show that anything can be done.
This has been a practice for a very long time even back to the WM days when roms encluded time bombs that would make the rom not work after a set time and date.

It's all smoke and mirrors to me until someone explains how it's possible to read files on a device by a user just connecting to a network and providing no further interaction. Sure you can get the device MAC, name, etc, but that's not how I read your statements. As mentioned in the post above yours, you can guess on network traffic, etc, but I really doubt anyone can "know everything".

Its not guessing network traffic. You can tell exactly what sites they go to. You can tell if they are using a mobile or desktop browser. (same way the carriers do it to prevent teethering)
All it takes is being connected to a network to be infected with a virus. Just how do you think that happens?
No one is gonna explain it. Just like we dont allow talks about network penetration. There are just something that are best not out in public view.
Here is an older example of how they detected jailbroken iphones on school networks.

I am specifically referring to detecting that a binary and an apk exist on a device SOLELY based on establishing a network connection (not viruses, not websites visited...user does nothing and no new code/software runs on the device). That does not seem probable to me.
It may just be semantics, but that's how I interpreted your original statement.
Of course network admins can see what sites users visit, what browser they use, etc and there is no guessing - only logs [emoji3]. I was using guessing in different sense (ie, you see something "suspicious" and draw conclusions).
Wow.... if i ever get fired after i found out they are 'reading' files on my device... this will be case for a courtn no doubt! I'm sure (at least where i live) the one that fires you based on such actions will have a big problem!

You would lose. When you agree to use their network you agree to all their rules. This is the main reason for things like Knox. As more and more place move to a "right to work" setup where they dont need a reason to fire you at all. I would be careful about what rules one does break. Gone are the days where we could get away with things like this.
You know this got me thinking. Maybe I will play around with my network and see what I can find out. I have to block root and xposed users anyway so this would be a great challenge. Might be awhile as I revert all my PC back to windows 7.
From an IT perspective, a rooted device provides little to no security. That's why most mobile device management (MDM) products include a feature that let IT block rooted devices from connecting to the secure network or accessing corporate assets. But these products must be able to detect rooted devices before they can block them, and there are ways users can get around those detection mechanisms. Organizations that rely on MDM alone to detect rooted devices should be aware of these limitations.
