Hey everyone,
I got my new Nexus One yesterday and was so excited and happy about it. I played with it yesterday night, connected to wifi at home and downloaded a few apps. I have an HTC Magic, so I'm familiar with Android. So this morning, I get the Froyo update notification and install it. And since then, I can't seem to be able to connect to my wifi. It hangs on the "Obtaining IP address..." message and can't connect.
Anyone else seeing this problem? All my other devices at home (including HTC Magic) are connecting fine.
Thanks for your help.

Hi, has anyone used the VyprVPN service on android either 2.1 or 2.2? If have just upgraded to Froyo and thought I would give it a try so that I can access HULU.com. (It blocks access from the UK).
I have got it working on XP, but when I put in the details on the Nexus it allows me to connect to the service, but I can't access any websites.
Is there any utilities that can do like an ipconfig command?
Any ideas?
Saw this yesterday and forgot to reply to it
I've got VyprVPN working just fine on my N1, stopped working once, but I just reconnected. Put in a video site I knew wasn't working here in Norway and it worked all good with the US VPN.
Thanks, how are you connecting to the internet, through wifi?
I've only tested it with wifi
Hello everyone!
I just received a X1 from Rogers yesterday as my previous phone got busted and this was available as one of their replacements. It's a lot to take in but i'm getting along the path of modding this and flashing it. My current issue though is with the WiFi. I am trying to connect to my home network but it's not seeing it. It finds my neighbors which is puzzling. Another oddity is that my iPod touch and laptop can easily see the router and are able to login once the password is put through. Other people who have come over in the past are able to get on as well.
Any idea why this might be happening?
The router is a Linksys WRT160Nv2 if that helps any.
Thanks in advance!

My router is wrt300n v2 and my phone is atom v,I have same problem
I have a PPTP account with HideIPVPN which works perfectly on my iPod Touch and on my XP computers. It does not work on my Motorola Milestone - the connection is "successful" but no data gets through. At some point on some build of Froyo (I can't remember which), I was quite successfully able to use this VPN on my Nexus One for long extended periods to listen to Pandora Radio.
Recently I tried CyanogenMod 6 RC3, and to my disappointment, I could connect to the VPN but not get any data to go through. So I restored to my nandroid backup on FRF91 (which I'd originally applied via the pre-rooted update.zip). I retried the VPN and it works but after 30-90 seconds the data cuts out and won't work anymore.
Has anyone here had consistent success with a PPTP VPN on FRF91 or CM6 RC3? If so, did you have to do anything special to make it work?
Thanks

The "cut out" might be related to WiFi keepalive bug. Keep the phone awake and see if the connection still cuts out.

The phone remains awake the whole time. I connect to the VPN and then immediately jump to browser. I load one page and it pulls down successfully. Then I keep clicking links; after the second or third one nothing works anymore, and no apps are able to see data until I disconnect the VPN. This is reproducible.
On my iPod Touch, the same procedure does not have any trouble - I can connect to the VPN and browse for hours.
I located the post on HowardForums where I reported my success with VPN + Pandora on Froyo. It was June 6th, and at that time the latest Froyo build was FRF50.
So I've taken a nandroid backup and I'm going to try a little experiment... roll back to FRF50 via pre-rooted update.zip and see if PPTP works on that build. Don't know if my phone will have a problem with rolling backwards but worst case I can just restore.
Rollback test #1: Didn't clear data/cache first time round. Same results as before, ability to browse cuts out within about 30 seconds of the VPN connection.
Test #2: Wiped cache/data to get a blank (but still rooted) FRF50. Same results again... first page or two I browse to will load but then nothing else will.
Could rooting the phone somehow have destroyed the ability to use a PPTP VPN? So strange, I just can't figure out why it worked in June and not anymore today.
Ah well, since I can't get it working on *any* build right now, might as well go back to CM6 and try out the new stable mod. And I'll keep hoping/wishing/etc for a solution to this problem. Any ideas are welcome.
Well this is interesting. I can't get the VPN to work from my home or office wifi (and it works on both with iPod Touch) - but - when I brought my N1 into a WIND Mobile store and tried their test SIM, I was able to connect to the VPN over 3G just perfectly. The connection didn't stall out and I was able to listen to Pandora through the tunnel. This was using CyanogenMod 6.
I wonder why it's not working on wifi?
Am I the only one who cares about this, or is nobody else experiencing the same bug?
Same problem on the Galaxy S. I think its an Android issue, rather than phone. I understand, though never tested, that it works when doing VPN to a linux box, but never to windows or something like a cisco appliance.
OpenVPN works, but takes a fair amount of messing about to get it working.
On CyanogenMod 6.1 / 6.1.1, I can sometimes stay connected now to a PPTP VPN for 5-15 minutes at a time over Wifi. Not sure when it changed.
Hi,
I just got an old (original) Motorola Droid from my son. It was was taken out of service, so it's got no phone service, just WIFI. He flashed it to 2.2 before he gave it to me.
Almost everything seems to work ok on it: I can connect to my WIFI network, browse, etc. Market works, Flash works after I installed from Market.
I installed Netflix from the Market, and it starts up ok, but then I get a popup error that says:
"Please make sure that your device has network connectivity and the Date and Time settings are accurate."
and it kind of just hangs the Netflix app at that point.
Does anyone know what the problem might be, and how to get Netflix working in this case?
I'm guessing that it might be looking for a phone network connection or something?
Thanks,
Jim
Hi,
My son has a friend with a same (original) Droid, with the same firmware, but his phone is still active on Verizon, and he's able to get Netflix app to work on it.
He (my son) said that he thinks that he has another friend that also has a Droid that's deactivated, and he's going to ask him to try to see if Netflix will work on that.
If that latter doesn't work and get that same error message, I'm guessing that it's, as I mentioned above, trying to connect to Netflix via the 3G, rather than over the WIFI.
Anyone know if it's possible to get the Netflix app to use only WIFI?
I had a similar problem with Sipdroid this weekend when I tried to get that to work. It actually, at one point, connected me to a Verizon operator, presumably over the Verizon wireless network. Sipdroid has a configuration setting that allows you to tell it to use only WIFI, and once I set that, Sipdroid worked ok over WIFI. I think that I need to find some kind of setting in the Netflix app to do something similar.
Jim
Hi,
I just got off the phone with Netflix support. I don't know if the person that I spoke to actually knew what he was saying, but he said that the Droid is not "on their list of supported phones", so according to him, it would then try to "connect to their website".
I didn't think that I needed the build.prop changes, because I'm not getting an "unsupported device" message, plus, like I said, my son's friend has it working on his identical (except it's still on Verizon) phone, but I'm going to try some of those build.prop hacks, to see if that makes a difference.
Jim
Hi,
For the record, no joy with changing the build.prop. That seems to be ineffective.
So, I'm still stuck on this...
Anyone?
Thanks,
Jim
Hi,
I had left the phone on the Netflix error screen and it went to sleep last night, and when I woke up this a.m., and woke it, there was a different msg saying that it couldn't access some web site.
So, I started thinking that it was a firewall problem, and I put the phone's IP address in my router's DMZ, and VOILA!!
Got Netflix !!

Good evening all,
Has anybody in the UK had success in connecting their Chromecast to A SkyHub? I have tried several times, but I cannot connect it, I have had to use my old trusted Belkin to do this...
Thanks
Matt
Hey Matt, got one of these myself a few days ago. Managed to get it connected and set up via my Sky Hub (newish white one), but then couldn't get anything to cast properly and it kept freezing up and becoming unresponsive. Have sent it back as faulty and got a replacement on the way, so will see if it was just the unit.
What problems did you have and did you ever manage to resolve them?
Chris.
All working fine here with 2 chromecasts, one UK and the other US. Black Sky hub, whcih is the newest router
You might to ask this person

At least they had it working at some point...
Got mine working the other day but had problems.
I couldn't activate it via a Win7 machine, kept getting an error saying it was unable to find the chromecast online. The only way I could set it up was to use an app on my phone. Now that it's setup everything seems to be working ok.
White Sky hub approx 9 months old.
