PPTP VPN on GB Overcome - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone been able to connect to a VPN with the new Gingerbread Overcome ROM ? In my case the tab shows a successful connection but NO data flow after that.

I don't know about overcome, but with stock ginger it's working for me. Hope that helps.

Using PPTP, I am seeing what you describe. But I get the same behavior on my Sprint (Rooted GB, but otherwise stock) Tab.

PPTP over 3G often separates the vpn tunnel, whether overcome or Redpill or stock. over wireless is working fine ... I personally use ssh over 3g, which works perfectly.

VPN issue

Hello
I'm unable to use a VPN connection with my SGT.
When i connected to my VPN with PPTP there is no data going through.
When i try L2TP, the connection never goes up.
Everything is working fine with other devices (PC, Mac, iphone)
It seams there is an issue with the vpn client.
Are you aware of these issue and or workaround?
thanks for you help
Nobody knows what is the issue ? I ve read that there is a problem with the vpn client
I have had a Verizon GT and now have an AT&T GT. I could never get the VPN client working with the Verizon unit and it worked the first time with the AT&T unit. The firmware is different (and I believe, later) on the AT&T model. I believe there is a problem that appeared in early firmware and was fixed at some point. I haven't seen a fix, but I was able to find third party software that worked with the routers that I need to connect to. Sorry I can't help more.
I have a vzw tab that was connecting with no problems over vpn until the last vzw patch. now it doesn't work...tun.ko loads fine and the vpn says connected but ifconfig never shows any tunnel interfaces and it doesn't work.
I may have to revert to a pre-update and finally bite the bullet and install a custom rom. such a pain in the ass.

I am running a wifi only (GT-P1010) with stock FROYO.UEKC6 and the 2.6.32.9 kernel and I cannot connect to a PPTP VPN either. Is there even a rom that works with this thing that will fix it? I was hoping to stay mostly stock with this device but if VPN doesn't work I have to do something. That's the main reason I bought it.
Strange thing is that it works fine on my Vibrant and has for a long time. Though I can also connect to my Ad-hoc AP on my phone unlike a lot of other people I have seen posting.
Hello, PPTP VPN is working fine here with a euro gsm gtab. Stock rom + overcome kernel.

The wifi only models are different from the gsm and cdma models.
VPN issues are related with the firmware you are running, so I'd suggest you if u got a GSM tab, flash the rotor JMI which known for working with VPNs.

Are there any roms that work on the wifi only tab that has vpn running on it? It is stupid that Samsung has not fixed this on a tablet. I really need to find a solution.
Samsung Support refuses to respond about vpn problem
I think VPN problems are well known by Samsung. I have emailed Samsung support twice inquiring for my registered Galaxy Tab wifi version and they have not responded so I'm considering returning the tab and getting an ipad. Apple support is first rate. Samsung won't even respond!
The pb seems to be from the froyo.
It may be fixe with android 2.3

Router wifi - stucking on looking ip address - overcome? ?

Hi, i used to connect my notebook to internet thanks to router wifi of galaxy tab.
Everything worked well.
Two months ago, i went for overcome 1.4 and I had a great improvements on performances.
Now I found router wifi not working because is countinuosly stucking on looking ip address. I don't know if it happened because I changed ROM or other issues.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Restart Tab, Restart Router. Report back after that please.
Tab restarted. Computer restarted. Router wifi restarted.
Tried but same problem: stucking on ip looking.
I also tried tethering but same issue.
Do I need tp install something (like modem from overcome) ?
Thanks.

Did you restart the router fully?
I went to configuration - wireless - router wifi - and i flagged the router wifi option.
I'm not speaking about my router but the router wifi functionality inside the galaxy tab...

As advised restart your router. i.e Unplug router from mains power. Wait 30 seconds and plug it back in.
As suggested. Power cycle all your devices. COLD boot them meaning. SWITCH them off till they are dead router, pc, and GTAB, wait at least 30 seconds. Fire them back on and try again. If you still have issues and you dont connect to Adhoc networks. Consider changing the wpa_supplicant of overcome to one from stock. You can find it in the overcome thread. Search for it.
Thanks for your suggestions but I'm not speaking about the normal router for the computer.
I'm speaking about the router wifi function inside the galaxy tab where you use the galaxy tab as access point wifi for any computer.... this is the router I mean (or access point) that doesn't work.
I think there is something in overcome ROM ... I also tried to setup as open access opint (that means without WPA) but same story.
Do I need to flash something in overcome ?
try a thether apk from marketplace as there are issues
mind you...each country has different galaxy tabs
here in the netherlands there are no restrictions and is all working including the phone and router functions

I downloaded wireless tether from the market and now it is all working.

Even tho you have solved your problem, another device in your house could have the same IP

Tether CM7 Milestone to Transformer

I'm trying to figure how to successfully tether my Asus Transformer to my Milestone running the latest CM7 RC4. Using the built in 3G hotspot, I am able to connect to the phone but it does not seem to be actually sharing the connection because I can not even go to any sites on the browser. I have also tried Tether Blu Free and Wireless Tether apps from the market with no luck (same thing over bluetooth, I connect but it doesn't seem to properly share the data connection). Anybody had any luck with this or have any suggestions? Going on road trip today and hoping to get this working.
RC5 now update too quickly
Still not working on RC5
Has anybody succesfully tethered their Milestone with CM7 to a Transformer? It is frustrating because bluetooth tethering works flawlessly on my fiance's Milestone with rooted stock 2.1-update1 using Wifi tether app.

The OG Droi/Milestone from what I understand does not have the hardware needed for the built in 3 g hot spot to work. you have to use this apk http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_0-pre14.apk&can=2&q=
Works for me.
Good luck.

[Q] Browser problem

Hey, I've actually refered to xda for a lot of my phone problems. But this is the first time i'm posting. If i break any rules I apologize before hand. If my question has been answered before please direct me to the page cause i've been searching for the answer for days and have yet to find it.
I'm using GT-1000T. My wifi had the problem of being stuck at Obtaining IP address.. So i used the static IP fix which works great. But the problem now that i have, is that my browser will only work when i'm connected to my home wifi. Every other program whether whatsapp or google play or anything that require network can work when i use public wifi or use 3G.. only my browser wont..
For example when I'm on the move, and i'm connect to 3G, everything work except for browser. I can download thing from google play but when open browser to use, it'll say unable to load. Please check whether phone connect to internet and stuff like that. But i am actually connected because everything else runs! I thought maybe it was just stock browser problem. So i downloaded dolphin browser, and it wont load either! So i thought maybe my 3G wasn't good enough. Went to a public wifi spot. and everything works except the browser again. Only when i went home and connect to my home wifi can my browser actually work..
Can anyone help please? :laugh:
No one can help with this?

No one had the same problem.
Be methodical. Since this happened after you out static IP,
can you change the wifi setting back to auto.
Will the browser and whatsapp and other work in 3G again?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Try Boat Browser or any other browser from play
I tried putting back to auto IP.. my wifi can't connect and my browsers won't work with 3g still.. I tried using boat browser as well as several other browsers but all had the same effect.. Everything else like whatsapp viber and stuff like that works fine whether wireless or 3G..
Any other suggestions?
I guess my problem is a weird one..

Have you ever installed anything that will hijack http connection or doing some proxying.
To me you are better off backing up everything and reset to factory default, then slowly put back what is needed.
But then you may be not rooted yet, so you can't use Titanium Backup?
Edit, actually I have questions, just for curiosity, please confirms each points
1) at first everything works fine, including browser, via 3G and wifi
2) one day your wifi just don't give you dynamic IP
3) you change the wifi setting to static IP
4) from then on, everything works ok at home. But outside home, browser (public wifi or 3g, same)
5) you revert back to dynamic IP, it didn't go back to like before you change it. Now browser doesn't work on 3G, and at home you cannot get dynamic IP.
does sounds like somehow corrupted TCP/IP stack.
I dun think I have any programs which hijacks http or does proxy.. what kind of app would do that? My device is rooted..
Points 1 - 3 is corrrect.. but after I switched to static, everything still works fine using home wifi. But outside, whether using other wifi or 3G, everything works fine except browsers..
When I switch off static IP, wifi is out the window. Can't connect to any wifi at all.. everything works fine using 3G except browser.. in other word, my browser will work only if I'm connected to my wifi and nothing else..
I thought of hard resetting.. but was trying to find other solution before I resort to that..
By the way, thanks for all the responses so far.. I really appreciate it..
Cheers!

hi
I think the answer for your problem isn't in the ip adresse, you need a custom DNS, use Google dns
dns 1 :8.8.8.8
dns 2 :8.8.4.4
or open dns
dns 1:208.67.222.222
dns 2:208.67.220.220
how to use dns? its easy, just put those numbers in the right place when configuring a static ip adresse.
best regards

But when I use static IP my DNS is set to Google's DNS already.. I'll try the second set of DNS and see how it goes.. thanks!

Hmm.. the second set of IP does not work for me.. sigh.. it's beginning to look as if hard reset is the only thing I can do..
Sent from my GT-P1000T using xda premium
am sorry mate, for this kind of problems, custom dns is the answer, at least in my experience (had the same thing on my computer where msn and Skype works but the browser doesn't)
i hope you'll find a solution before the hard reset

Damn it.. I hard reset and it didn't fix anything!!! What can I do??
Sent from my GT-P1000T using xda premium
Since you are rooted, there is an off chance that something has made modification to the operating system.
Hard reset only reset the data part.
You may need to reflash stock firmware with repartition using Odin.
The best way may be using overcome method, link is at my signature.
I am sure you have heard of it.
You will need your Telstra baseband again.
Can you note down your current baseband?
