Having trouble setting up VPN - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have trouble setting up VPN on my HTC One...
The place i work have Cisco VPN ( IPSec ) - I succeeded setting up the connection on my iPhone, but have been trying all possible variations of groupname, secret, username/password, domain.. and VPN connection profile... no success (neither 3G nor from WIFI)
At home i have PPTP, SSTP and L2TP using Windows Server 2008 R2.. Works beutifully on my iPhone - but can't get a connection on my Android
i'm beginning to question if VPN even works on Android (HTC One, HTC Sense 5, Android 4.1.2)
any tips & advice ?...
do YOU have VPN up and running on HTC One ?
Thanks
EDIT:
according to this guy, PPTP doesnt work with Windows http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197883
but L2TP should ? still work ??
EDIT 2:
PPTP has an encryption error that causes it to fail : http://www.securitykiss.com/resources/articles/android_vpn_bug/index.php

Hi, I am posting here as I am having similar issues setting up VPN on my HTC ONE. I have read the edits listed above, but have VPN successfully running on my HTC ONE XL, and Sensation XE
Note that the HTC ONE is on Android 4.1.2 whilst my, HTC ONE XL is on 4.1.1, and HTC Sensation XE is on 4.0.3.
Both VPNs are configured up identically on both units.
However the HTC ONE cant make a connection at all.
What other limitations am I missing?

[Q] can't see wm6.5 mobile hotspot

Hey guys, I have energy rom on my tp2/rhodium and i'm trying to use the cooked in wi-fi router to share the interenet connection but my HD7 can't see it. Anyone else have this prob? I'm wondering what security protocol the wi-fi router uses... All my other devices see my mobile ssid no prob. Thanks.
I always had this problem on Android, fine with most devices, try and connect another mobile to it and it doesn't work.
I just came to the problem that there's a universal problem with Mobiles connecting to Mobile Hotspots made by other Mobiles.
I'd normally assume brand interoperability as well, but both devices are HTC. Except one is running wp7 and the other wm6.5. The only thing I can speculate on is that the wifi chipset the hd7 is using may not be able to recognize newer wifi security protocols - just like some early 2000 laptops can't connect to a network using WPA2-personal on AES security. I've run into that problem numerous times while repairing who knows how many hundreds of computers over the years. I still haven't gotten around trying to figure out what type of security energy's wifi router broadcasts with however, so I can't confirm.

In my previous experience:
T-Mobile G1 Hotspot is not picked up by:
-HTC Hero
-HTC Dream
-HTC Touch Diamond
-Xperia X1
-iPhone 3G
HTC Desire Hotspot is not picked up by (this is not to say they can be picked up when using T-Mobile G1, just not tested):
- All of the above mentioned
- Desire HD
- Desire Z
- Wildfire
- iPhone 3Gs
- iPhone 4
I have no networking knowledge (well very little), as the subject bores me but I can (and have) only come to the assumption that for some reason Mobile Hotspots when projected by Mobile Phones, cannot be picked up by other mobile phones.
For what it's worth (probably not much), my HD2's Wifi hotspot could not be picked up by my Sony PSP. Which made it pretty nearly useless!

Android L2TP/IPsec and PPTP bug

Sorry folks, i got a Vodafone branded droid (sim free) on my last trip to Germany.
Back to China am trying to figure out how to get a workaround our lovely chinese Firewall (Facebook and youtube etc). Unfortunatelly i cant find a way to either get L2TP IPsec nor PPTP working. I use 3G (wifi is utterly pointless on the road) and also couldnt get an idea where to find a root or mode with open vpn or ssl vpn set up. Any idea how to get any of those protocols working on a non rooted device or if not how to root it since other obstacle is that my device is not getting recognized on my PC (Win7 64bit) nor MacBook Pro.... bloody deal breaker so far. I guess thats one thing where iPhone or Windows mobile are much better in

Incredible phones does not connect to router

I have a NETGEAR N300 router, WPA mode, channel set to Auto and SSID broadcast unchecked. I have 5 different Android phones and 1 iPhone, 3 of them HTC Incredible and all these 3 do not connect to the router. AT&T inspire connects without a problem when it was on GingerBread (now rooted and upgraded to ICS). I have a Verizon Rezound (stock) running Gingerbread and connects to the router without a problem.
As soon as I enable SSID broadcast, 3 HTC Incredible devices connect immediately with the stored credentials. When I disable SSID broadcast, 3 of the phones immediately disconnect while the rest are working
HTC Incredibles are stock devices running Gingerbread
Any ideas? I tried switching channels around and that didn't solve either

Try rooting one and putting ics rom. Might be a bug with invisible ssid on it.

[Q] HTC One Mobile Hotspot DNS settings

For some reason, the HTC One mobile hotspot is not providing DNS information to any connected device.
I get internet ONLY if I use ROM Toolbox Lite to manually set the DNS on the other Android device I'm connected too. Connecting a Windows PC to the mobile hotspot has the same issue, where a DNS server cannot be found. Manually changing the DNS server allows me to connect.
It's super annoying, and I don't really have a fix other than software on the connected device to modify the DNS to Google's 8.8.8.8.
Is this an APN issue, ROM issue or device issue?
Network: Rogers LTE
ROM: Viper 2.6.0
Radio: Stock
Kernel: Elemental 3.11
I think its fair that I bump this. I haven't found a solution yet.

[Q]Help me enable Ad-hoc on HTC One m7 Stock

Hello,
just got an HTC One (m7), 4.4.2 KitKat, 5,5 Sense. It's already rooted and s-off-ed , but what's really bugging me is that I can't seem to find a thread how to enable the device to see and connect to adhoc wifi networks. Nobody even discusses the damn thing! Am I the only one that can't get over this fact? on my very old i9000 there were always modified "wpa_supplicant" files that allowed such adhoc connectivity on rooted devices. Almost every custom ROM has the feature built in.
I mean I just got the phone and was thinking of testing the stock Sense for a while, shame to change to another rom straightaway only because of this.
this maybe is a stupid idea but will copying the CM11 wpa_supplicant over the current do the trick? (backup first of course). Or is there a guide how to manually edit the file.

no idea what adhoc did for you, but the One has built in wifi hotspot under settings / wireless and networks / more /Mobile network sharing
I am sorry I didn't make it sound clear by ADHOC I mean the ability to SEE adhoc (non-infrastructure) networks and CONNECT properly to them. For example such a network created with a pc without using virtual router software.
I wrote in my post

It is true. No one cares for this feature
for instance if you are on a win7 pc: open network and sharing center > set up a new connection or network > set up a wireless ad hoc (comp to comp) network >>> opened or wep protected and share internet from your pc ....see if your stock device even sees the created network..............that's my problem. Android devices normally do not let you connect to this kind of wifi network in their wifi connect manager.
and this thing with the patched wpa_supplicant file from CM11, can someone pls post theirs for HTC One? It's in /system/bin/wpa_supplicant or somewhere else in the root partition.
come on you guys! at least suggest what to do. the topic isn't closed yet
Ad-Hoc on Htc One M7
Hi There,
I was trying to connect my Htc One M7 to the wifi (ad-hoc) from my Hp9700 .. To bad there is not any option in the Htc for connection
trough ad-hoc .. my sollution is to use connectify and make a AP (acces point) then the Htc will see the Wifi connection in open-air,
Its to bad that the NON-infrastructure is not seen by the wifi-module of the Htc Phone and i dont think that there is a possible update for ..
I got the Htc One M7 32Gb with Android 5.0
I see al trough the wifi settings on the Htc but there is no way to connect trough ad-hoc!
O Yeah i tried the most wifi apps in the playstore and the funny thing is i can see the ad-hoc in there but will not connect, strange cos the apps from playstore USE the wifi-module in the Phone ..
Well thats al ..
