MAC Address Listing on device... - Nook Color General

Where is the MAC Address listed on the device? I'm going to need to add it to my router in order to connect to the wifi.
Thanks for the info!

VPN...

Anyone have any information on adding VPN connectivity on the Gtab?
I connect to work through a Cisco VPN, but I don’t think there is a Cisco app for the Android?
I don't even have the option of setting up a VPN in my setting/network?
Thanks, SL

The answer is that this build is lacking the tunnel device that allows vpn to work.

[Q] How to set Proxy on Nexus One Gingerbread 2.3.3?

Hi all,
I need to access my campus internet through wifi. It has a given proxy adress and port. How can I access it using my unrooted nexus one?.....
Thanks,
Android does not natively support a non-transparent proxy.

I see. So, I have no choice but to root my phone to use the proxy....
Previously I used the Firefox mobile browser to bypass proxy settings. However, the only application you can use on your phone is the Firefox browser itself.
# Run Firefox, and in address bar type: about:config. This will take you to the advanced configuration panel.
# Now you need to find proxy entries, to simplify that you can filter it out by typing proxy in the field below address bar.
# Modify network.proxy.http and network.proxy.http_port to your proxy server and port.
# Set network.proxy.type value to 1.
I am not sure if this still works but give it a try.

Yeah... or as madballs (lol) posted, you can try the Firefox beta. But keep in mind, on Firefox will work... no other data services on the phone will.
It is kind of crappy they don't support it, especially when there are other roms out there that have this little function added in.
LOL, I was surprised nobody has taken this name when I registered.
I really cant understand ,, if they could add proxy settings to the browsers without rooting,,
why don't the developers add it in their apps?!?!
Go to the wifi settings there push the menu button and select advanced.
now you have a list within you can set your proxy settings over the current wifi connection.
I have tested it with my DHD at work. works perfect but hope they will connect to the same concept for proxy as by android 3.2.
There you can configure a proxy for each connection.

VNC Server for Android

A good application for Android remote control from PC?
I've tried "Droid VNC Server (Beta) and "Remote Control Add-on"
both of them works but have a problem viewing the screen.. phone capture commands but can't see android desktop on my pc..
I rooted both applications with Superuser without success..
Any Help?
I'm on Nova HD Plus Rom
I tried lots of apps. But nothing works as good as teamviewer.
Install pc version and the android app.
Set unattended axx on your pc.
Whitelist your android ID.
This hs never failed me. Mouse keyboard dual monitor setup... It just works
Hmmmm read again lol and think you want it the other way around...
Sorry haven't tried that

You can try our new VMLite VNC Server app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmlite.vncserver&hl=en
so far, it works on many different models of android devices, rooting is not required.

Can it be ROM related ? on my phone the server can't use wifi connection, and sets the IP of the server on my 3G provider one which not very useful, and generally doesn't work for me.
I'd like to have my phone screen on my tablet or my computer
There might be a bug for our app to report the wifi ip address, we are fixing this. For the time being, you can do one of these:
(1) find the wifi ip address from settings, and you can connect to this ip address instead of the one reported by vmlite vnc server app
(2) use USB connection, from VMLite Android App Controller, click USB Connect button
(3) reverse connection, run tight vnc viewer in listening mode, then start vnc server in reverse mode, so the server will connect to the client

Permanently disable Mac randomization

Hi,
how can I permanently disable MAC adress randomisation?
I can set this for each connection separately but I want to disable this feature completely.
Thx

From this site, it would appear you cannot in Android 10: https://source.android.com/devices/tech/connect/wifi-mac-randomization
I'm curious though, what use case do you have where you want to do this?

I don't like that it's the default setting. For some reason, if I change WiFi networks (away from the one that autoconnected), I have to re-enter the password and have to remember to change it back to "Use device MAC".

Is MAC randomisation causing a problem for you? Maybe someone can help if they understand the issue.
I have several WiFi networks to deal with at work and access control is based on MAC address.
Thats no security thing, only offline networks for testing purpose. SSID changes often and I always forget to change the setting...
@brandon5491 had the same issue with WPA3 but seems to be fixed with March Update (or newer AP firmware)

Well iOS and Android do MAC randomisation so it will be more than just you struggling with this issue, maybe raise the problem with your work? Maybe there is a tasker addon that can turn the option off based on some rule you create.
As for stopping you, I'm not sure how? If you join a network the device will use its fixed hardware MAC address which is approved. The MAC filtering should not be enforced unless you are connected to the network.

For me, it makes it nearly impossible to onboard new smart devices. Lifx, Kasa, Samsung, etc all need static MAC when adding them. You have to stop the install, go change the setting on the wifi for each device, then start the install all over again.

Use your phone's VPN in your computer without root.

I have seen a lot of people wondering about how to use your phone's vpn in pc. If you're one of them, than keep reading.
To do this you do not need root
Works on any computer OS
Works on home wifi or data hotspot
When your PC is connected with your WiFi or hotspot, it's sends all the request directly, regardless of your phone's vpn, wheather it is on or off. When you turn on the phone's VPN, all the traffic from your phone goes through the VPN, and we have to divert your PC's traffic through the same route.
There are a lot of different ways to do this, but we will use proxy method.
Download an app called proxy server (<1MB), you can find it in PlayStore or here on XDA. Or any other app would do, it just needs to have the capability to create a proxy server.
So (for Proxy server app) all you have to do is (first time setup)-
Open the app.
Click on the add button at the top, give it a name.
Remember the port and go back.
On the dialogue, click save.
Click on Info at the top, note the wifi ip, go back.
Click on Start at the top to start the server.
Go to PC's browser (or network proxy, if you want to tunnel everything) settings.
Put the proxy server ip (the wifi ip noted earlier) and the port.
Turn on your phone's VPN
Enjoy :good:
If you're using hotspot, go to pc's network settings or ipconfig (google if you don't know how) to find out the gateway, that will be your proxyserver ip.
Just in case it seems to be a lot of steps, know that, you only have to setup once, after that its pretty much start and stop on both your phone and PC. I have an addon installed in my browser (proxy toggle) so basically it's a single-click step.
I'm no scientist, so I don't know all the billions of methods to do this, but this is just a good old method that's going unnoticed somehow. I'm just trying to help people here by sharing it here. If you already knew it, good for you. If you didn't, congratulations and good luck.
:good:
Please

I think it'd be better if you go watch a video on YouTube, explaining "what is a vpn" . If I try to explain you here, chances are you're going to get confused even more.

Start VPN in phone
Start proxyserver app in phone
Set the proxy IP and port in your PC browser
It's a 3 step process. If you still need help, you should ask more specifically, a generic "more explanation needed" doesn't pin point where should I start.
