Static IP - Motorola Droid Bionic

I'm looking to set up a static IP on my Bionic when it's connected to Wifi. Don't seem to see any place that it will let me do this though.
I'm on the latest stock software, and I'm rooted.
Anybody know how I can set the IP addres on this thing?

On the same page where you'd enter a wifi password check the advanced options box and scroll lower.

Listening to Pandora Radio From Outside USA

Just thought there were some people that wanted to know.
This requires a rooted phone!
Firstly download the Pandora radio apk from a filesharing service or use market-enabler to get access to the American android market and download it from there.
Next, download Orbot from the market. Install it and don't forget to give it root permissions.
Before you press the on button in orbot, go to the app settings and select pandora to run through orbot.
Also check the "transparent proxying" box.
Next, start orbit by pressing the power button on the app to start the service.
Now open Pandora and it should work.
If not, try restarting orbit (kill the task too if it can't start again). Also if it prompts that it isn't available in your country AFTER it has launched, just press the back button and it should work.
For more information/troubleshooting check out the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=760472&page=2
I did all the steps you told. When I hit the start button, it turns green n says "Connected to Tor network" but I'm unable to use Pandora. Keeps getting stuck on the initial blue opening screen.
When I check using the check option in the Tor's menu, it gives me "Sorry. You are not using Tor." on my browser. I have set my browser to use Tor (I even tried "Tor Everything" option an rebooting my phone).
p.s. I'm using it over a wi-fi. I hope that isn't an issue.
Update: I checked the ip address it shows is the same as the ip address of my laptop, connected to the same wi-fi.. basically means problem lies with Tor than Pandora..
Appreciate any feedback..
Just wanted to add that Tor is working through the mobile network but on wifi it is giving the above mentioned problem..

I read through it a lot. Couldn't get it to work.
I don't find Proxy settings for WiFi in my system as indicated below.
phone's settings > Wireless & networks > Proxy Setting > set IP to 127.0.0.1 and Port 8118.
May be this option is required to get it to work. Can you enter proxy settings for your WIFI as indicated above.
As when I use the same proxy for mobile data then Orbot works. But I don't wanna use Pandora over my mobile data packet.
Update:
Okay I installed gaeProxy and I can get connected to Tor network now (checked with my browser) but still not able to open Pandora. Maybe I'm not in US proxy with Tor.
I really love Pandora!! But here in Brazil i can't listen anymore... :crying:
Try using Hola Accelerator & Unblocker from the Play Store. You can turn off the acceleration feature. Works fine for me.

How to set UserAgent on Gingerbread

For all who like the new smooth Gingerbread stock browser but would like to set the User Agent, here are the steps to do so:
1. Open your stock browser
2. Type about:debug in the address bar
3. Press the menu key and tap on Settings
4. The latest option (UAstring) allows you to change your User Agent
5. Disable the "Show Java console" option.
This option is ignored unless about:debug is enabled. So if you see you're getting redirected to the mobile versions of websites you'll just have to retype it again in the address bar.

The settings are not saved after killing the browser or reboot. The only way to make it permanent is to edit the browser apk.

On Gingerbread they are saved. I have reboteed 4 times since editing that option and it never reverted back to default.
No need to edit the apk, so

It doesnt save for me either.
Never has on any device i have used ua string on

If you look in the uastring field it wil show you "desktop" but if you try let say bbc.com the browser will redirect you to the mobile site.

I have this issue too. Even if I change it, it seems like it won't work unless I actually open up settings, and reselect Desktop (even if it is already selected), then reload the site.
It also does not persist through closing/reopening.

I tried this and it works!
Even tried opening bbc.com and it shows the full desktop view on mine.
Thanks!
I'm curious, are you guys using Gingerbread's stock browser now, but were using a different browser when you were in Froyo?
Ok, I got it. The browser does save the setting, but it ignores it unless debug mode is on: try rebooting, go to bbc.com and you'll get the mobile version; type about:debug and reload the page: Full desktop version! So as a temporary workaround it is enough to type about:debug when the browser is opened; I suggest also disabling "show java console" within the settings. In the meanwhile I'll edit the apk so that this option isn't ignored, shouldn't take long once I get to use a pc

Same here.
Does ediing the apk file help?
Anyone found a way to make this permanent yet??
Really love to use the stock browser if only i could have it load desktop uastring by default
Overcome RC1 keeps the UA setting

show javascript console
single column rendering
use wide viewport
normal rendering
enable tracing
enable light touch
enable navigation cache dump
set JS flags
work like a charm.. thanks!

Bypass internet restrictions in android?

Ok here's the thing. I cant access certain websites(mostly filesharing sites) due to my country's 'anti piracy policy'. Researched, n found out that they do it by manipulating the DNS. I can access them using my PC by changing the connection setting protocol n stop using auto dns server. I changed the preferred DNS server to Google's.
Then,is there any way i can do it in my O2X? Coz i prefer to get online using my fone rather than pc.
If anyone know how to do it,can u guide me step by step please? Really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Btw im running CM7 RC1 with latest vork kernel. Bb 606 Ril 606.

It's easy for WiFi (advanced settings) but for mobile network connection this is the only method I know of:

VPN app
Do you try using a VPN app? Just try a free one such as KUKU VPN+ search it on google play and check out if you can access to blocked sites.

[MOD][SCRIPT] Change Hostname

Continuing to update in Android General Development.

[SCRIPT] Change Hostname
OP Updated to be more consistent across devices.
Will this change only show up on external devices such as adb command prompt, bluetooth connection? Anywhere in the phone we would see it (about > status)? Is this a permanent mod or rom specific?
Thanks!

This is temporary and has to be set at each boot.
What this does is give a name to the wifi machine. I don't think it effects Bluetooth or anything else.

Browser

I'm running the latest liberty rom and i was wondering if there is a way to set the browser to not use mobile web and just open the regular web page all the time
Sent from my Droid 3 Liberty
I can't remember if you can change the user agent but I know you can in other browsers such as Opera and Dolphin.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
Shouldn't I be able to just type something in the address bar to disable it? I wonder?

You could always see if you can get a URL that indicates non-mobile. Sometimes I have seen a www.whatever.com/index.php?m=0 or something similar where the m means mobile and 0 means false. Maybe bookmark the URLs? Lemme look for a setting in the default Android browser.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
Nope, no setting. Try Dolphin or Opera.

CM7's browser has options for this. You could potentially compile the CM7 browser for the motoblur framework (I know there is a technique to do this) and put it in /system/data/ in place of Liberty's browser. Obviously it's not nearly as simple as that, but if you really want user-agent settings in the browser, that seems like the way to go. Otherwise, you can flash CyanogenMod now and deal with some of the audio and camera issues, or wait until it's stable to get the user-agent settings.
I would assume the browser would respond to 'about:debug'?
Type about:debug in the address bar and hit go/enter/whatever. It shouldn't visibly do anything. Then hit the menu button > More > Settings > UAString (very last on the list) and change it to 'Desktop'.
It doesn't really stick (you may have to do this each time you launch the browser), but it does work.
Thanks man that works perfect exactly what I wanted
