Hello! new to N1 forum, could any1 tell me if its even possible to connect via wifi to an ad hoc network. Im using CyanogenMod-5 rom which finds network but fails to connect. any help wld be great. sorry if this is the wrong place for my question.
regards bevan
Yes, you'll have to edit the (tiwlan.ini0) and (wpa_supplicant.conf). When I get to night...i'll try to post what you need to edit.
I just got my N1 today and will playing with it ...so it might be around 10-11 CST to night when I post back with the info.
Here a quick type up
going to system/etc/wifi and edit tiwlan.ini...do a seach for WiFiAdhoc and it should take to
WiFiAdhoc = 0 and change the 0 to 1...right ather WiFiAdhoc put
dot11DesiredSSID = CARPC what ever you want...as you can see I use (carpc) so I can connect to my carpc.
dot11DesiredBSSType = 0 this will stay 0 so it all should look like this
WiFiAdhoc = 1
dot11DesiredSSID = CARPC
dot11DesiredBSSType = 0
Now for wpa_supplicant.conf add this to very bottom
ssid="CARPC"
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=1
}
If you still need help just post back in here....
thanks
soloxp hope ur enjoying the new phone & yes it seem I need a little more help with this. now as Im new to android I've never actually edited setting before. I found setting/etc/wifi but could u please point me a tutorial on how I edit this file. thankyou for ur time.
I just check CM N1 Roms and it look like the N1 wifi is setting are different then the G1. I want be rooting my N1 for about 2weeks...that way I know it's working good before I root it. Sorry I can't help you on this right now.

ur welcome!
You can try these...just change my setting to your and see if it works.
I try to insert a rar file. i'll try another way.
WEP works fine without making any changes. So if its just a quick temporary solution use that.
Thats what I used when in Japan for net on the N1, as the appartment only provided a LAN cable & I only had a netbook with me.
Hi, I changed my settings in wifi with yours using win rar (maybe that's not how to do it?) but didn't work sadly. when trying to flash told me file was bad. should I mod this file using some other programe? not sure. am a noob but willing to learn how this is done thanks again!

hello! well I still haven't got it to work yet, but I have found out about how to push & pull files from my phone using sdk.that was fun, I knew I was missin something there.lol. anyhow putting back the file u gave me didnt work something about read only file. oh well. I did learn something today so not a total loss. if any1 has any other ideas would be glad to here.

In order to obtain an IP address automatically. You need to be running a DHCP server which I doubt you are.
To get around this set a static IP address on the phone.

My phone can obtain network address ONLY if my laptop is connected to internet. (no problem).
There's no tiwlan.ini file in nexus one & there's no need to edit it. just have to edit wpa_supplicant.conf.
cheers

have kind of given up on the ad hoc thing for now but thanks for advice guys. Im on 3g mobile broadband and recently got a 3g router which fixed my problem. when I leave the house and require internet I just use 3g sim card works fine so no need for ad hoc at the moment.
AdHoc - unsuccesfully
Hello all.
I have the same problem with adhocing my N1 and wireless adapter D-Link DWA-150.
I used to check all the "solutions" of this problem (wpa_supplicant. conf, rooting, new SSID...) but it seems not usefull for me.((
To soloxp - there is not any tiwlan.ini in N1. At least in CyanogenMod 5.0.6.N1.
What can I do more to connect my wireless adapters?..
Has anyone figured this out? I am running CyanogenMod 5.0.7.1 and I do have the wpa_supplicant.conf file but I'm not sure what to put in it as far as editing it. I use WMWiFiRouter on a Windows Mobile phone because that phone is 3G and my Nexus One only gets EDGE. My iPhone and computers can connect up to my WM phone just fine I just can't get my N1 to connect to it.
So this is indeed the way for my question and possibly the solution..
I have been asking abt this,
I got N1, CM7 latest...
linksys compact g wireless USB adapter
after creating adhoc connection I connect my phone and it stuck at "obtaining IP address"
Now please tell me how can a place or make a change in N1 system files?
please help me with links and yeah Im a nooobbb
Bump up the post.....
I dont use wifi a lot, but i recently moved to a place that has bad signal, and so i wanted to connect to my router, when i turn it on it shows other routers but not mine. Which seemed odd to me. I reset the modem and router to see if that would help. But it still doesnt work.
I have the .29 baseband. The newest, i beleive, Would that pose a problem?
If so a radio link that is reliable would be grand!
check the wiki radios are different for everyone so you just have to go through and test them but PLEASE only use the ones on the HERO CDMA WIKI because if u flash a gsm radio by accedent that will garantee a bricked phone.
haha oh in know.. its happened before. a long time a go when i was more nooby.
Hey man can you PM me your personal step bystep instructions on your mod prl update post. I followed them on the op but still didnt work. and like which rom you were using?

I was under the impression the CDMA radio didn't have any affect on WiFi.
idk about if it effects it r not, but i tried 3 or 4 radios and all of the could not detect my router. So i guesss its another issue, ill have to ask and find out
Just an idea, probably a crazy one, but since you see other routers, make sure your router is actually broadcasting your network ID. (I have, at times in the past, turned this off unless I was connecting a new laptop or other device the first time, to keep it hidden from outsiders).

This.
Why do you think it's a problem with your phone if you can see other routers?
Is your router brocasting on the only freqs. that an N router uses which afaik your b/g wireless device(hero) won't see.

Hmm..I've messed with a few router types (I work for a networking company, though I'm definitely no expert), what are you using (make model?) Have you connected other wireless devices (laptop, gaming console, etc) successfully?
Should be pretty easy to get into the web interface (though navigating the options can be confusing as hell) and see if it is:
1. broadcasting your net ID.
2. Running in N only mode (if it is an N router).

Yeah ive had it for a while actually, and ilive with 4 other people and we all can connect to 3, sometimes 4 laptops/desktops. And i beleive, i cant quiet remember, but i think ive connected to it before a long time ago. and i just looked and its a Netgear wirelsess N router
Okay, you should be able to log into it from one of your connected PCs via your browser, the address would either be http://192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1
username and password (IF they haven't been changed!) are probably admin/password
Once in there, you should be able to find wireless settings, first thing I would look for is (as was previously suggested by FdxRider) the mode (n only, n + g (and maybe b). If it is set to n only, change it to n + g, or n + g and b. Then see if you phone can see it. If that doesn't work, need to look for the SSID, AND see if you can find a setting that says something like broadcast SSID. You may have to hunt around a bit, but it should be in the wireless settings somewhere. If you change either of those, save the changes then have the phone scan and see if it shows up.
I'm not being too specific about where to find these things because web interfaces change a bit, and each brand has their own hiding places.
If you can't figure out the password to get in, you should be able to reset the router to factory defaults, should be one of those "poke something in here" holes on the router case itself in back...will change the SSID to NETGEAR and admin pass probably to "password"
You might want to update the routers firmware. With netgears you have to go to the website and dl the latest update and save it somewhere on your pc/laptop. Then on the left hand side of the routers page it will say update firwire. Click on that and its an option to browse to were you saved the firmware file to. When you find it just click it and let it do its thing. Then you will have to reset the router by pressing the black pin size button found on the back of the router. Then log back into the routers web page and check to make sure the firmware update took and matches the update you downloaded. Remember never let the router update itself always do it manually. Also never update the firmware while being on wireless always plug in via cat5/cat6. Also its a setting in the routers web page to save your current settings so after you update the firmware you wont have to resetup all of your settings. Just tell the router were to look for your setting file you saved and apply it.

Hello all.
Ive searched (and unless I have no idea what i'm searching for) i can't seem to find an answer. I tried forum searches, browing through hundred of pages, and maybe its just me. Brain might be exhausted but here it goes. If it has already been solved then thank you in advance.
I HAD the VZW tab currently running the 2.5 alpha CDMA. After playing with it for a while I decided to go back to stock firmware because I wanted my 3g. The weird part was after factory reset and everything my baseband is now unknown and it can't pick up a signal. When i click on wifi I just get an error message. I tried a complete going back to originial stock with no root as per (i forgot to attach the link to the thread) but i still do not have service.
Under mobile networks (where there should be an option for GSM/CDMA/AUTO, that option is not there.
The activate with Verizon option isn't available that is supposed to be above wireless and networks.
Ive done factory resets, wipes, uninstalling voodoo, tried to updated modem.bin but it keeps failling.
Any suggestions?
Okay i managed to figure out wifi. I guess my mac address changed and i was using mac filtering on my router. Didnt know that address changes. Anyways anyone know how to get data back? I feel its in my modem.bin file but it keeps failing when i uploaded one that i found from a VZW tab
same issue I have
Wow I have same issue as your. Expect it is Sprint Tab. My tab couldnt pick up a signal and i tried to reuploading Modem.bin but it fail too. Let hope we have a solution
wow would not expect the mac address to change after a flash, I know that you can make it appear different >:¬}h
Had the same issue with phone, and had to manually input the ap settings from the carrier, but that was it, sorry for stating the obvious but did you try this?
The iemi and the mac adress can be changed by flashing. The data is in the system/efs folder.

Oh i know that but thought it was by design and not the event... New to me if it was.. I use additional security in wifi at him and by mac address and did not have to change... Interesting if this is the case

I experienced the same with my SGS (GSM), though I also changed the CSC. All that was required to solve it was to manually reenter the APs.

I was shocked too. I thought the address was hard-written into the chip too. I had to change the address in my router too.

I guess I felt that way too because i really only filtered computers at the house and no matter how many times i formatted I always had the same MAC address. Glad that I figured that one out so I at least can use my SGT in wifi mode. Now the issue is trying to get my data back on (Verizon) since I'm paying for it. *sigh*

I did but no one had any information to give. I was transferred 3 times. Oh well. Since I am practically running a wifi tab Ill just re update to HC Alpha 2.5 just because I like the interface better. Hopefully if someone can find a fix ill take it.
A few days ago I ran into a problem. My wifi wasn't connected when I turned on my tab 8.9. When I try to connect to my own network, and get into the settings page, the option 'ok' is greyed out. This means that I can only 'cancel', and in that way not connect to my own network anymore. The same thing happens when I try to connect to another network. My device is not rooted, running 3.2, and it is running the most recent firmware. Restarting the device didn't solve it. Any thoughts on this one?
Bump, same problem, or at least similar.
Android Version 3.2
Kernal Version 2.6.36.3 ([email protected] #1)
Build Number HTJ85B
Wireless works on some networks and not others. B G N do not matter, it is random. Still running stock ROM, not rooted. I have tried reseting OS, no luck.
What it does it it finds the network, tries to connect to the network, fails, remembers the network, and the cycle starts over.
Hi guys,
do you get the 'Obtaining IP address' message when connecting? mine does that constantly on some networks, it gets stuck in a loop and simply will not connect. I've found out that this is due to the tab remembering an IP address it used to use and trying to re-use it every time it connects. That is of course not always possible and so it tries - fails - tries etc.
The way to fix this apparently is to delete the dhcp_list file which holds the remembered IP addresses, only issue is that I cannot find that file anywhere. I'm running AOSP Galaxian Soup on mine with motley kernel, my home wifi works ok (probably because the same IP address is available all the time), work wifi doesn't want to work at all.
Maybe one of the devs sees this and can shed a bit more light on whether the solution is correct or not.
Regards,
dsc.
I was eventually able to solve this in a very easy way. for one reason or another the tab only wanted to log in when the password contained a capital, so I changed the WPA preshared key to something that contained a capital and a number and it was working again. very strange, because it had been working perfectly for about two months before this problem occurred. hope this helps.
Hi,
I managed to fix it by selecting static IP. I've seen this suggested a couple of times but when using the tablet in horizontal position I could see the static/dynami selection. Turns out you have to rotate the table to vertical position to see it.
Regards,
dsc.
Thanks for the discussion. my main problem is that i can't set a static at my work network. it will work at home, but i NEED it to work at both, otherwise it does me no good. I will keep banging my head against.
I will check back to see if smarter people come up with a solution, and if i come up with somthing i will post.

Hi,
not sure if you've seen this (I think the original solution comes from here anyway):
[tried posting an url but it was blocked, try googling:
'Tab cannot get IP address for WiFi problem + recs'
and scroll down to zakaria's post]
Some people suggest trying static, even if it fails it might delete the previously stored IP address that the Tab is trying to connect with and get a new one which should work. What I did was connected to the Wifi with my laptop, checked the IP/DNS details and after slight mods used it on the Tab. I did try setting the static to something roughly correct, connecting and reverting back to dynamic, but it wouldn't have it
Regards,
dsc.

Have you checked with your work network whether or not it needs ca certificate?
or you could try to download wifi ace (advanced config editor) from the playstore, and set the settings from there
Hello mates, this is my first time ever posting on the forums, so feel free to call me a newb
So here's my problem. I have been using [JZO54K]_android_4.1.2_v5_oficial_stock_rom on my samsung I9000 for a while and was quite satisfied with how it was working, but I always had a problem with the camera not focusing properly on the moment when a picture is taken. So I decided it's maybe time to try out CM 10.1 (i usually stay away from CMs because i had problems with it freezing or being slow or rebooting without me doing anything on it) hoping it would be a good and smooth experience. So I followed the thread and the instructions precisely (it's not my first time flashing a rom, by any stretch of the imagination). Everything went well, signed in with my google account, google play started restoring my account to the phone, installing the apps and so on and suddenly it stopped. The wifi icon turned from blue to gray, which i know means that it's not getting a connection. So i reset my router, connected to the secondary router in my home and still a gray icon. All my computers in the home work fine, so it's not an internet connection problem. My data plan is out of mb's, so that's noot gonna be an option for me.
So, then i tried opening the browser on the phone, keeps trying to connect, doesn't get anywhere. So i decided to go back to my original rom and guess what? I have the same exact problem. So i tried flashing and reflashing both for a few times, got tired of it. Tried factory reset from the phone's menu, tried clearing everything, all caches, dalvik cache, nothing worked. So i'm stuck with a phone with no internet connection over wifi.
If anyone else had this problem, please help. Obvious stuff will not help me, as I know my way around the block, not that new to this. But i have already tried all the stuff you would get on a google search (like checking if sync is on or opening youtube and all that other stuff)
Thanks in advance, in the mean time, i will be flashing the stock rom with odin and gradually upgrade back up to probably elite's rom.
I've also added a screenshot with my baseband and all that info

So i have just flashed 2.3.6 using ODIN, having the same problem. Will connect to wifi, all internet applications can't get a connection. (and yes, i did check the date and time, in case someone was wondering)
So i have managed to figure out and solve the problem. it wasn't actually an issue from the phone. i tethered another device and managed to get a connection with wifi. it was an actual issue with the way my routers are set up. i have a main router that broadcasts a certain DHCP which is connected to another router that just acts as a bridge. the main router broadcasts in an ip range of 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199 and the secodary router (which i connect to using my phone) that acts as a bridge, usually, if it were not configured to act as a bridge, it would broadcast in ip addresses ranging from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.199; both routers broadcast a different SSID, btw. so the main idea is that, any device that would get an internet connection in the house should have an ip address in the format of 192.168.0.xxx, and this is where the interesting part comes in.
after flashing and reflashing a few times, i started looking into the settings for the wifi on the phone and noticed that it was picking up an ip address of 192.168.1.66. the possible explanation would be that the main router might have stopped broadcasting the DHCP to the secondary one, and the secodary one decided to give it an ip address, hence the 192.168.1.66. but this still doesn't explain why even after reflashing the phone a few times, it still kept the same ip address, which is not suppose to happen, and even if i tried to connect directly to the main routers' SSID, it would still give an ip address of 192.168.1.66.
anyway, managed to get it working, finally decided to go back to elite's rom (after benchmarking on CM10.1, i noticed i get lower scores than what i would get on elite's). and i wasn't suppose to hard reset the phone, i was suppose to hard reset the routers, change the SSIDs on both which is easier and faster to do that anything on a phone.
I don't think that this would apply to anyone else, i guess it was just a freak accident in my home, but hey, if you ever get problems like the one i had, you might want to look into your routers as well
