I don't have my Hero yet, but i was looking for an app like inssider (for windows) to use on my hero wich will arrive monday or tuesday.
the app inssider can scan for wireless networks and display the name (ssid), used security (none, wep, wpa, wpa2, wpa/wpa2), channel (1 through 13 or 14) and the signal strenth.
with that app i have solved and fixed many broken wifi networks. so my question really is if there is such an app in the market available. (just wondering until my hero arrives)
yes there is, two in fact (or two shown in my market) just enter wpa in the search field in market and you'll see them
I am now (as you may have noticed by my other posts) a proud owner of a rooted htc hero and wanted to express my thanks

Hi All,
I've made a program supporting all originally supported wifi protocols as well as WPA/WPA2 enterprise protocols. This program can be used to set up connection with wireless networks using enterprise protocols.
What you need to do is to select proper protocol/authentification methods. Provide certification files if you have them. You can put certs files anywhere in your SD card. Then click OK.
You need to disable your wifi and re-enable it. Root is required.
Please visit my blog for more updates: http://fredzhung.blogspot.com/
** THIS IS NOT WELL TESTED, But works for Purdue University. (WPA ENTERPRISE WITH THAWTE_PREMIUM_SERVIER certs.)**
[UPDATE MAY-11] 1.0.2 RELEASE
ADDED SUPPORT FOR AD-HOC!
Added support for memorizing all configurations.
Need some test.
[EDIT] v0.2 RELEASE.
fixed a bug connecting to open network.
added support for anonymous indentity in EAP
added help/about
added input validation
changed icon
If this Wifi Helper doesn't work with your company's/school's wifi settings, please provide me your wifi setup so I can figure out what's wrong.
There seem to be a bug that first time run will hang. Close the program when the "force close" window pops up. Then run it again. Add the program to superuser list when asked.
This seem to be a bug for all applications requiring root access in android 1.5. I tested with terminal emulator and it has the same bug as well. Something is wrong with superuser program.
The app is uploaded to Market. Have fun!
Using this to access wifi on campus
Hi
I am a novice at all this root stuff so my questions is straightforward
a) If i buy a G1 (not rooted etc) and install this application from the market, i should be able to access my campus wifi? This is one reason why I am still using the iphone (unlocked on tmobile).
b) Is this likely to work even after the 1.5/cupcake transition that seems to be imminent?
Thanks
ps I am at LSU and here are some of the wifi details for the campus:

Hi, if you buy a g1 from store, you need to root it first before using this app. totorials for rooting your phone can be found on the sticky threads.
After you root your phone and use this app, you should be able to connect to your campus wifi. This is the purpose of this app.
May 11: 1.0.2 is released. Available in market
Hey zhang!
Great work, but i am having problems getting the ad-hoc to work.
It's been setup on my laptop and i have tried w/WPA & open to no avail.
The phone does not seem to detect the network.
I'm running 1.5 JF ADP.
Any thoughts as to what i might be doing wrong?
And thanks for the ad-hoc capability, been waiting on that one

Hi Sean,
I've been doing experiments with adhoc, I am not 100% sure adhoc will work. I will keep trying.
Great, great, great job!
I'm gonna buy the pro one, just as a "thank you"..
It seems it won't even detect my adhoc network
Hi. I use the free version (will buy it if it actually works) but I can't seem to even detect my adhoc networh. I use the ICS on XP laptop. I setup an open network with no encryption for the test but the G1 doesn't detect it (it sets it up and says it's unavailable, thus allowing me only to "forget" it). Do I have to change anything else on my device (for example the tiwlan.ini) so my device actually shows those elusive adhoc networks. Has anyone actually succeeded to setup properly an adhoc connection on G1 ever with any kind of software or is it like the UFO - we hear it exists but we've never actually seen it?
I cna't get it to work on my university's WPA2 Enterprise with a 'GTE CyberTrust Global Root' certificate (with extention cer).
I'm using a Vodafone Magic
I am also having a problem with a WPA2 enterprise setup.
It is a eduroam network.
On my computer I have entered the following setup in wicd:
encryption: PEAP with TKIP/MSCHAPv2
identity: my username
password: my password
In the wifi list (in the android system menu) the eduroam network shows as "Not in range, remembered"
I have another problem with the app itself: "Modify configurations" does not work. This makes it a hassle to try different encryption settings.
I know the network also works with PEAP with GTC, but don't know how to set that up.
Where did this go? It's no longer on the market. I can't find it anywhere!
Yeah, I was looking for this app and can't seem to find it anywhere. It disappeared. Does anyone have the apk?
Boogy
Try WiFi Buddy...free and works great.
All you had to do was go to his site...

Hi,
Let's say I want to check, who's connected to my hotspot. I've searched for an application or terminal commands that can show this info, but didn't find anything. Is there such a thing?
Thanks,
William.
Good question, I'm interested as well.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
i never tried to monitor wifi hotspot clients but i think these ways should work.
way 1:
goto terminal, type:
arp -a
this command displays all entries, since the wifi connection actually makes the phone a router, so all connected clients should have corresponding arp entry.
way 2:
goto market and download Network Discovery application, use it to scan the whole network. Also it provides port scanning function too.
(but .. this application usually crashes on my phone after scanning for long time)
Interesting, thanks. I'll test and reply.
Tested, even the basic "busybox arp" with no switches works. The result needs to go through grep or use "specify interface" switch to avoid showing the 3G data IP.
I suppose that access control has to be implemented in the kernel, so I won't mess with it - but now I have a script line to see, who's connected. Thanks
And one day someone could write a widget for it. At least modify the on/off widgets to show the number of connected clients.
Any more news on this? The network discovery app kind of worked, but it had to use wifi which disabled tethering.
I think there has to be a way to see who is connected to your hotspot at one time without disabling anything.
The Palm Pre Plus on Verizon does this automatically. There are a lot of features that phone has that I wish android would impliment...Man it would have been nice if google had bought palm

Is that news?
You want an app/widget for that? There is none. I've turned to the creator of the "hotspot widget" and asked him to implement counter for connected clients (which should good enough for anything I can think of), but I got no answer. I also tried to find any open-source code for such widget to modify and add the functionality, but didn't find any.
The older Eclair CM build had such app for manual control, showing MACs of connected clients.
I dont think the stock froyo tethering implements this but the wired/wireless tether apps included in 2.1 roms has the function, mac address filtering too =D
Hi all.
Got my SGS a couple of weeks ago, and (almost) all is great.
I spend most of my time inside the university (I live on campus) and all of the web traffic here passes through a proxy server. Problem is - some of the apps (including the Market) just can't see the connection.
I have (of course) the right Advanced Network Settings (proxy server and port), and this sorts out some of the apps (like the default browser and gmail app), but the market is unreachable, and FB app (for example) can't access the net as well.
Some more data:
I'm running 2.1.
There is no problem to access these sites using a desktop/laptop computer.
I don't use 3G, relying only on WiFi.
Proxy server has no authentication.
Everything works perfectly whenever I leave campus.
Is there anything I can do?
Would this issue be resolved in the (hopefully) forthcoming 2.2 upgrade?
Thanks!
Hey do you have to log in to go online. At my past college and my current uni all android phones where you had to log in via the browser didn't work. However my friend with a Desire with 2.2 can log in, this maybe a wild guess but maybe the updated browser allows for the log in procedures to work, im not sure what its written in, javascript, php, asp no idea but that's my guess> Ive got the same problem if you get it to work let me know and if you know someone with froyo can you ask them to try or maybe its just with newer HTC phones.
Thanks for the reply.
I don't need to log in, there's no authentication, and still there's no access.
It feels like a dodgy implementation of the proxy settings in Android, and I really hope they fix it in 2.2, because it makes my phone really crippled.
Yer I really hope so to on our network their is no pass to access
its completely open but you have to log in via the browser
A quick update.
Just installed a localized (hebrew) version of Froyo (JHJP4 if it interests someone).
I can't comment on anything else at the moment, but the proxy problems are NOT solved. Still can't access the market...
Android already supposedly supports this, but I'm getting nothing.
I've had a working ipv6 setup at home for many years, and while an online checker will say I have an ipv6 address, it won't work using it and I get a segfault when trying to extract it using 'ip'.
Any ideas? Do I need a custom rom because samsung haven't done it properly?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Noone's using ipv6?
dont think my isp have even rolled it out
I also don't get ipv6
Hi
I just installed IPv6 at home and all my devices (2 MacBook Pro,1 Mac Mini, 1 HTC Desire) have an IPv6. But m Samsung Tab doesn't.
My IPv6 setting at home use stateless autoconfiguration, with the router announcing the LAN prefix in RA.
Hope a future revision of Samsung Tab firmware will support IPv6.

Have you tried Firefox? I was rather astonished to not be able to hit web sites via IPv6, until it occurred to me that the default web browser might be the stumbling block. With Firefox I managed to get IPv6 sites just fine (including 10/10/10/10 on test-ipv6.com).
(I'd post the screenshot, but I'm a n00b here.)

I have yet to come across the ability to use wifi and 3G simultaneously so it seems like it could be well worth implementing.
http://mobisocial.stanford.edu/news...together-by-hacking-connectivityservice-java/
*Also posted in Android General: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15161427
Well, I didn't go to Stanford, but wouldn't you have to be able to tell the system which traffic should use which interface? Generic routing can't handle this stuff.
My thoughts were leaning towards those apps that already require one connection type versus another. For example wouldn't it be nice for those that use wifi to vpn into their network(s) for work/home and also be able to use apps that require their 3G. I recall having to switch to 3G from my wifi once or twice at home to use just an app that was developed to use only 3G.
The simplest thing IMO (if possible) would be to have the person be able to set a preference on their phone for wifi or 3G (by app selection would rock). Then apps would connect through the preference if available (and if allowed) or move on to the alternate if not.
This kind of discussion is what I was hoping for so please keep it coming...

Right... I guess it would be handy if the only check was for whether a particular connection was ACTIVE, not necessarily if it were the primary interface.
Well, I guess you could futz it manually with the routing table -
wifi
addr 192.168.1.100
gateway 192.168.1.1
ppp0
addr 76.76.76.76
gateway 76.1.1.10
corp public
20.20.20.20
so, if you had a corp vpn app that required wifi, and could force both to be enabled, you could set...
Code:
route add -host 20.20.20.20 netmask 255.255.255.255 gw 192.168.1.1
but it'd be a pain to change every time. guess you could build an app to handle it...

new to me. will google this.
EDIT: ah, yes - multiplexing PPP connections. not possible, I think. You might be able to load balance/share, though, and that could be handy.
