Donut 1.6 WPA2 W/Certificates ?

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

Captivate wifi fix?

Ok guys. I am not sure what is going on here.
I can't connect to my schools wifi and it is becoming a royal PITA.
I can connect to wifi perfectly fine at home.
At school, they don't require any sort of "password" to access the network. (no wep or anything I mean) They do have one of those annoying/retarded portal login systems which seems to be coded to only care for laptops.... Actually I should say coded for a hand full of browsers ON the laptop.
I once or twice a week or so ago was able to actually access the login page either by entering it manually and being able to actually use wifi for a few minutes.. or by getting redirected.
I took the problem up with the help desk, they said we now have alimit of 4 wireless devices and my allowance was maxed.
Unlikely but, whatever..
So now over the last few days won't redirect me, it won't let me even enter the login address manually.. (before it wasn't a sure thing but, I could at least do it.)
I am rooted running cog 3.03. (Which does have the 2.2 update) Had the same problem on stock 2.1.
Goes without saying I'm rooted and willing to do what it takes to get wifi working here.. Even if I did happen to have unlimited data.. my school is pretty Iphone heavy... especially at lunch, And some days I am just happy to receive the occassional text I can get from my girlfriend.
But, fact is I don't have unlimited data.. I have extremely limited data.
If anyone has a solution, I would appreciate it.
Tried:
Wifi fixer in market.
Rebooting.
"forgetting" then reconnecting. (a million times).
Manually assigning an IP address.
Praying to Cthulhu
Using multiple browsers to see if one works with portal better.
and I am out of idea's..

Any chance you need to enter a proxy server?

I have never needed to enter a proxy server before with any other device.
And I have never found anything suggesting I would anywhere on the school website.

You might ask around about it. The browser is probably set to auto detect a proxy. You don't have that on the phone.
Although, you do indicate you actually did connect for a bit a while back, so it likely isn't the proxy.
Sorry. Don't know what else to offer.

I appreciate the effort, unfortunately my school didn't resolve the issue either so I am unsure what to do..
You might be on to something with the proxy...
No telling how the looney's set this stuff up...

Do you have the login page in your favorites? And does the device connect to the wireless "hotspot"?
I'd test it at a starbucks (or mcdonalds of all places have them too) and see if the issue repeats itself. The ATT hotspot requires you accept the agreement before it allows you to browse.
If it doesn't work.. I'd go back to stock and see if you continue having the same issues. If the issues are resolved when going back to stock - then you'd need to bug DG for a possible fix with his ROM as that is possibly where the problem lies.

Yes it does happen to connect at other places.
I can get it working at home no problem.
I have the url memorized at this point to log in..
Part of the reason i rooted was one or two people said it cleared whatever wifi problems they wre having up..
Infact I would agree with that more than anything..
Although it didn't fix my problems, I have been able to do a bit more..

I hate with a passion bumping my own thread.. but, if anyone can help.. I would appreciate it.

i think your issue might not be your phone but your school unfortunately... when you are there to connect, are there a lot of others there as well?? for example, where i am at, they have their access points set up and i can select it with my phone, but sometimes i get on and sometimes i dont.. the issue is that they limit the amount of connected users and it might show that you are connected, but you don't in fact have access.. does this sound about like what you are having??
a test (and this will suck) is to let it connect and if it isnt connected, sit there for a while and watch as people leave and see if you connect.. usually they slot peeps in order as they log in via their IP.. so depending on how many users are not able to connect, you might not be the first to get on.. this sux and i know.. it happens here all the time and some times i have drained my laptop battery sitting there trying to connect.. now that i have my phone, 1 or the other will connect first
hope it helps a little.. but like said.. good chance its not your phone .. if it is your phone.. i am not really sure what else to think of at the moment..

[Q] CM7 Wifi issues

I'm running Cm7 nightly 19 and my wifi is acting funny. Its stays connected but after a while I don't get internet and the only way to solve it is to turn it wifi off and on again.
Did anyone face this? How do you work around it?

Have you tried turning the WIFI sleep policy to never sleep?
WIFI Settings>Advanced>WIFI Sleep Policy>Never

Ya but it didn't help!

i was having issues but builds 17+ have been much much better.
no fix that i'm aware of. you could try switching your security settings on the router.

I have seen this and have determined that it could be related to router type and or brand.
See this post.

I was having connection issues with 802.1x at one point - it would show it was connecting then just drop. I fixed it by replacing the wifi folder in /etc/.
Steps:
download the the wifi folder from dl.dropbox.com/u/3220557/wifi.zip
Unzip and Place it on your SD card.
Using Root Explorer, navigate to /etc/, select "mount R/W' and rename the current 'wifi' file 'wifiOLD or whatever you like.
Next, copy the new 'wifi' folder off your sd card and paste in /etc/.
Reboot the nook.
Hope this helps.

what exactly are you replacing with that new wifi folder? did this help others?

I've had problems with a friends nook and my router (mine, same CM7 build, works fine). I'd recommend trying what mndev12 said first, and if that doesn't work try turning off all encryption/security on your router and see if it still happens. From what I can gather here on the forums is that some people are having problems with different security configs.

This might help.
I had the same issue with my NC using a D-Link DIR-615 wireless router. I solved this issue by turning Wireless N off. I set mine to BG only. Works flawlessly. Hope this helps.

Another suggestion to folks with Wifi and router issues. Make sure your router has current/updated firmware running on it. I know we all get in the habbit of setting them up and just leaving them but the mfgs do in fact push out firmware updates from time to time that can and do make a world of difference in cases like these, specially on older routers

Did you get this issue resolved? If so, I am curious as to how... having similar issues myself. Have played with security settings on router and have tried disabling 'n'... but still seemed to have the connection issues... going to borrow and try a different router altogether tonight or tomorrow.

Good suggestion will2live. I haven't updated mine since I set it up. However I think it is a driver issue with the TI chip we have, not a router issue.

so are youll trying to say that this isnt the issue of cm7?i dont think so...i never had such problems with the stock rom..

Im seeing the same thing - running the encore version and my wifi is all open - drops a bit or takes a while to connect? anyone else?

I loaded the most recent version of CM7 and am having issues with the Nook not finding any WiFi. It worked fine for about 12 hours, but now won't find any access points. I have tried turning off WiFi and back on several times as well as rebooting.
Any ideas on how to get the WiFi to see access points?

Try a clean install? My wifi works pretty well ( I sometimes have to turn off and let it shill for 30 sec) on Phiremod 6.1 (cm7.0.2)

I have had serious wifi headaches myself (with both 7.0.0 and 7.0.2). I have tried each about a dozen times, wiping, different versions of CWM recovery, tried nightlies and always the same. Wifi will connect, I'll start downloading something, and then it will disconnect at some point (may be a minute, may be 3 or 4). Turning wifi on and off brings it back to life but only momentarily. Have no issues with Nookie Froyo or stock. I did try connecting to WEP (other than my usual WPA2) but could only do this by tethering to my phone. It seemed to have fewer disconnects but I did still have issues there. Plus, resorting to tethering or a less secure network is also obviously not really a solution. Really hoping a pattern can be discovered to diagnose this issue because its becoming a deal breaker for me. This issue aside, LOVE the ROM.

No WPA2 Enterprise Fix for 3 months

Ridiculous that Google has taken 3 months (and counting) to issue a fix or even acknowledge publicly that there is a problem with Jellybean devices connecting to many WPA2 Enterprise Wireless networks. This is going to hurt them badly with folks at Universities and companies. I've already had to steer many folks away from the Nexus 7 because of this problem that Google refuses to fix (or as I said even acknowledge it exists). http://code.google.com/p/android/is...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=34212
Even the freakin' Kindle Fire which wasn't able to connect to WPA2 Enterprise Networks at launch was issued an update and was able to in a shorter time frame than it's taking Google to address this issue on our Nexus 7's (and all Jellybean devices).

I haven't been able to get on the 8021.x at work since moving to ICS on my phone, JB the same.. It tries, fails for no reason... At least on Gingerbread I could make it work, even if I had to use another app to configure it. ICS/JB seems to set it up properly from the get-go, but even if I tweak it to the exact same settings I had before, still doesn't work. Meh.

this issue is seriously driving me NUTS

If it's bothering you guys, click on the Star icon in that google link that was posted. That's how Google prioritizes bugs.
Still, unless it's something that's a security hole, they probably won't update until the next version.
There was a touchscreen bug in 2.1 in older devices that sucked up CPU time when you touched the screen so it effectively killed off use of the phone for most games. It wasn't fixed until 2.2 and a lot of phones were EOL'd at 2.1
Thank goodness for Cyanogen. If you want an update sooner, the custom rom way is the quickest...

We'll I'm runnin eos but its still wacked

There are many 8021x configurations, consider yourself lucky your particular setup works.

Did not help me or some others in the thread but worth trying if you haven't.

Anyone try this with the 4.1.2 OTA? I did, and no luck. It didn't automatically configure correctly, and once corrected, it still wouldn't connect. Maybe it helped some folks in some other way though, as there were specific wpa_supplicant fixes in the OTA.

I haven't been able to connect to my wifi at work ever since i got my N7 and JB on my GN phone. Since updating to 4.1.2 on my N7 though I can now connect to my WPA wifi at work. FINALLY!

WPA? That should have always just worked. Maybe they fixed some obscure bug there.
802.1x, enterprise wireless, is the problem at question in this thread, but glad that 4.1.2 improved wifi for you anyway

Whoops that's what i meant . It's working now. it's 802.1x with PEAP. Sorry for the confusion.

[Q] Wifi details partly forgotten

Anyone else had this problem?
I try to use the Eduroam wifi, which has a rather complicated set-up (PEAP, MSCHAPv2, identity and password). I put my details in, and sometimes it connects... and sometimes it fails to connect and then, when I look back at the details, it's changed the EAP method to AKA or TTLS, or fogotten my password.
This has happened 10+ times now -- I'm not just being daft.
There are apps to set up Eduroam for you, since it is a bit of a fiddle, and I can use one of those -- but I still have to keep entering institution, username and password -- and anyway, this is silly, it's just a few wifi details, the phone ought to be able to store them. My Defy didn't have a problem with it
I'm on stock UK Jelly Bean -- is this known to throw away saved details? (I think it also happened with ICS but not quite so sure as I upgraded shortly after getting the phone).

Remove your sim card, go through the config changes but first forget all your settings. After a reboot when your complete put your sim back in. Seems to have helped some of us out with this issue.

Brill. Working so far.... will report back as solved if this continues.
