Hi, my HTC TOUCH VIVA does not see the hardware for my IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi Adapter, do I need a drive for my Wi-Fi?.
It does not exist in the menus.
Thanks
Awhile ago I got a Samsung Captivate Glide. This Device has the same Broadcomm wireless module as the HTC Vivid, however the Samsung Drivers support wireless-N on both the 2.4Ghz & the 5.0Ghz frequencies, while HTC only supports the standard 2.4Ghz.
Why do you care? If you have a wireless modem that is N capable (300Mbps) on the 2.4Ghz band but have other devices connected that are restricted to B or G type connectivity, then many routers will restrict & default all device connections to the slower protocol. The only way around this is to use the N-only 5.0Ghz frequency on dual band routers. No, it is not a necessity... Just a feature that is possible & would be nice to have.
Since the hardware is the same (WiFi) on both devices, it should be possible to modify the libraries & drivers that Samsung uses to port the function to any HTC device using the BCM4330.
I just started working on this recently, but I decided to post about it here so that maybe someone with more driver or wireless development experience can help figure it out. I also thought that it would be a good place to keep my notes on what has been tried, accomplished and/or failed. Especially since I am not so great at keeping notes.
Also of interest are the media profiles & drivers that Samsung uses. since they natively support AAC, AC3, DIVX, XVID & even heavy FLAC files.
At any rate, I am pretty new to Android, so any ideas or questions are welcome & hopefully they will end with a learning expeience & a working mod that benefits the Vivid.
I don't see on gsmarena that the Captivate Glide supports dual band N, maybe the specs didn't list it? You have one and you can see 5GHz SSID's?
..
Yes, I have the Glide & it is not about dual band, it is just about connecting to the 5Ghz frequency, and yes, my Glide connects and works wonderfully on the 5Ghz band of my Dual Band NetGear WNDR3400.
I'll have to do some further research on my Glide, but the antenna issue only would matter for a dual connection, which isn't what I'm looking into. I just want to isolate my device & media player to the less cluttered 5Ghz freq, leaving other equipment on the mixed 2.4 band.

I was curious after your post and I noticed this line in my Vivid's framework-res.apk/res/values/bools.xml while making a few other XML mods:
<bool translatable="false" name="config_wifi_dual_band_support">false</bool>
You guys probably have already noticed this, but I just thought I'd post in case it makes a difference.
Hi all
My Samsung GT-P1000 doesn't work with wi-fi and bluetoth due to a hardware problem. Only works with 3G
The replace of the mainboard is very expensive for me.
It's possible to connect a usb wifi receiver on this tab? Do you know something like that?
Thanks in advance.
Hi guys,
I bought a device that can only connect to internet using the internet connection of a smart phone or a device that support bluetooth tethering.
If I enable the bluetooth tethering on Samsung Galaxy S4 and connect my device to it the speed is more than great ! But if I connect my device to HTC One the connection speed is horrible. So this concludes that the issue is not in the device but in the HTC One it self, I guess?
Does anyone know if I can improve the speed quality somehow? On the device I cannot install any software so the only way I see is to somehow fix it in the HTC One.
Let me know if you guys have notice such an issue with the HTC One.
Thanks
Vlad
Hello,
I am not a developer but hope to get some support here as samsung has not been a big help so far.
Before updating Android versions my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T713 would connect to Ethernet via the plugable USB 2.0 OTG Micro-B adapter.
It seems that the specific chipset used by the adapter is no longer enabled on this specific device, while I am told it is still included in all Android version 4 and up.
So my question is how can I enable the AX88772 CHIP SET in order to regain ethernet connectivity.
I tried going into dev mode and selecting "RNDIS Ethernet" in the USB configuration but that did not do anything.
Another issue possibly related is that when connecting the tablet to a Win 10 laptop it is not recognized. Here I tried many solutions including installing the media pack and other options available. No success. If this is an unrelated problem then I will post this secondary issue in another post.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Is there a reason why you need Ethernet rather than wifi?

Yes, we live in a house without wifi on purpose. My wife get's immediate headaches and body pains when she is exposed to a direct signal. After having been removed from it for several years in our house I feel the same way when it is on. Our house is wired and we use both ethernet over power or ethernet over coax depending on what room we are in. The last one works beautifully.
