Background:

I am on the most recent moto software version with a rooted phone. I am pretty sure that VPN worked for me like 2 weeks ago.

Problem:

I can connect to PPTP VPN, but once I do, I lose my ability to connect to anything. The PPTP VPN stays connected, but I can't load a webpage, ping a server, or do anything.

I am almost positive this is a problem with the routing table.

Before turning on VPN, my routing table looks like:

route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination	Gateway	Gen Mask	Flags	Metric	Ref	Use	Iface
192.168.2.0	0.0.0.0	255.255.255.0	U	0	0	0	eth0
0.0.0.0	192.168.2.1	0.0.0.0	UG	0	0	0	eth0

After turning on VPN, my routing table looks like:

route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination	Gateway	Gen Mask	Flags	Metric	Ref	Use	Iface
10.51.13.37	0.0.0.0	255.255.255.255	UH	0	0	0	ppp0
192.168.2.0	10.51.13.37	255.255.255.128	UG	0	0	0	ppp0
192.168.2.128	10.51.13.37	255.255.255.128	UG	0	0	0	ppp0
192.168.2.0	0.0.0.0	255.255.255.0	U	0	0	0	eth0
0.0.0.0	10.51.13.37	128.0.0.0	UG	0	0	0	ppp0
128.0.0.0	10.51.13.37	128.0.0.0	UG	0	0	0	ppp0
0.0.0.0	192.168.2.1	0.0.0.0	UG	0	0	0	eth0

A number of those ppp0 entries look really wonky to me. Where did 192.168.2.128 come from? That is not my IP. Why all of the 255.255.255.128 masks? What is up with 128.0.0.0?
[Atrix 4G General] krkeegan:
OK, i checked out the routing table on a computer that is able to do pptp and I think these entries may be causing the issue:

192.168.2.0	10.51.13.37	255.255.255.128	UG	0	0	0	ppp0
192.168.2.128	10.51.13.37	255.255.255.128	UG	0	0	0	ppp0

That first one is trying to send all local network traffic over the pptp link. This could be the problem. That second one is just bizarre. My IP address is not 192.168.2.128 so I am not really sure where that is coming from.
[Atrix 4G General] krkeegan:
I deleted those entries and got no where.

When I run traceroute I don't even get a response back from the gateway, so I think I am missing an entry or two. I will try and futz with it more tonight to figure out what is going on.

Has anyone else ever seen this? Why is this just happening to me?
[Atrix 4G General] KingRaptor01:
Yup, VPN via PPTP to a DD-WRT router does not on my Atrix either. My Windows 7 laptops have no trouble connecting and pinging the gateway but the Atrix will not load anything or ping anywhere. I think it has something to do with Android based on a few quick googles before I gave up.
[Atrix 4G General] krkeegan:
I would swear PPTP VPN worked after the most recent update. But it is possible I just connected to the VPN and never confirmed that I could actually navigate to a web page.

I am starting to think that this is not a routing issue. For one, the link remains up. I have kept it alive for nearly an hour. Plus I never get any unreachable or no route to host errors. Finally, after a closer inspection of the routing tables, the routes appear to be a little circuitous and convoluted, but based on my limited research into routing, they should work.

My next guess is that this is an encryption issue. I have a subscription to HideMyAss VPN, but no access to those logs. I may try and setup a quick and dirty PPTP server on my linux box this weekend to try and inspect the logs and to see if it works with encryption disabled (kinda useless in that form).

In the mean time I am using Port Forwarding with Connectbot over ssh.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
I've got the latest DD-WRT loaded up on my router and gave up too. Windows 7 at well. From what I hear VPN doesn't work so great especially over 3G where there's a bug when encryption is used. Disconnects after a few minutes anyway.

Had it working all right with my Desire Z but can't remember if I did something after the fact that caused it to stop working with my Atrix. I was too busy playing with so many other features that I sort of forgot.
[Atrix 4G General] krkeegan:
Well, I decided to start using ssh tunneling as a replacement. Unfortunately, Connectbot has a bug that uses 100% CPU when tunneling. I have downloaded the aptly named "Port Forwarder" app that only does ssh tunneling, hopefully it will work.

Otherwise, I feel like people are out to get me. :-p

Edit: It seems that the connectbot bug only occurs if you disable shell access in the connectbot settings. So this works for me now.
[Atrix 4G General] krkeegan:
The 4.1.83 update does not appear to resolve this problem.

The folks at Wyse have updated their PocketCloud to version 1.2 which adds support for Honeycomb.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] DroidHam:
use logmein now, is this any better?

I tried before and had trouble getting it all setup
[Xoom Themes and Apps] cwizardtx:
I use PocketCloud frequently and I can tell you that this upgrade is very welcome. Before, it would get the resolution at 1280x800 but of course some of the taskbar is cut off and you have to shrink the screen to fit and all that business. It was passable but not perfect. Now when you connect its 1280x752 and its perfect. The way to get to the keyboard doesn't thrill me but I am getting used to it. I connect to my server via RDP tunneled through the firewall and I use the pocketcloud companion on my windows desktop to access my personal computer. It all works quite well :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] fsunoles157:
Yes I agree. It could be a little faster. But I think that's me because of my laptop I'm accessing? I welcome it worth 15 bucks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ephumuris:
I'm considering buying a HD 2 exclusively for Android. However i've read a lot about the g sensor and don't really want to take the plunge and end up not having working games etc.

I'd be buying second hand so no chance of returning if it doesn't work. It seems the android roms run just as good as native otherwise than the few with the above problem.

Can anyone confirm this or are there still issues with it being a WinMo handset?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Pabliell:
In some beta phased ROMs auto rotation can have some problems. But this is a small percentage of all ROMs so don't be afraid, I didn't have this issue.

I have already tested about 10 different ROMs.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azer0:
Go for it. As far as android on hd2 goes, well is as good as a native android, some of the roms here are amazing and work flawlessly. Even if HTC & Google tried to cook a rom for this phone now, it probably wont be as good as some of the roms here;-).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dubbingt:
G sensor issues were resolved months ago. The only thing that someone might complain about is some auto rotation issues that only affect a handful of roms, but can be fixed using a different launcher.

Depending on the build you choose, android runs just as good, and in most cases waaay better than WM ever did. I bought my phone about 7 months ago, and only ran WM the first week I had it.

The HD2 is very easy to mod, and all of my friends love my phone, a couple have even gotten it because I showed them all the possibilities on them. And they are really happy they did.

If you have the opportunity to get one, I'm sure they are relatively cheap now since most people dont know about the massive community support for them and WM on them is pretty bad.

I had a similar question to ask see my situation is that I have a Nexus One and I want a HD2 but I don't have the money to flat out purchase one because currently I'm not working due to being laid off.

I was thinking of trading my Nexus One for a HD2.

Now my question is what do you guys think, should I do the trade?

Hows the battery life now with the HD2 running on Android?

I remember reading last year on XDA that the battery life wasn't too good, have things changed with better roms.

Do you think it's even worth trading or should I just keep my Nexus One?

Any or all replies will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fcbarca17:
Its a win win both ways, both are really great phones

sometimes i wish i have kept my nexus because of the sleek and sexiness of it but most of the times i love my hd2

i bought a hd2 because i really wanted to try out WP7 also, right now i have WP7 and android dual booted and it is amazing

if you want to stick to just android, i think the nexus would be better (considering that the giant screen difference doesnt make a difference)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] manlisten:
Bought an HD2 about a month ago and Android runs flawlessly on it. I had a Samsung Captivate last year and this performs every bit as well as that did aside from gaming (Hummingbird is a beast compared to the 1st Gen Snapdragon).

Haven't had any issues with games so far. Currently running the TyphooN CM7 ROM but have also used Hyperdroid CM7, Ultimate Droid and the official MIUI. All excellent, fast ROMs.

I also had a similar question about this, I'm thinking about trading my vibrant for an hd2, but I'm not sure if it's a good trade or not, my friend has an hd2 and it was awesome! What would you do?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Strat87:
I second the above praise. The HD2 came out on Feb. 16th in 2010. There is not one other phone that came from then that is as current now. I am running NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.6 and love it. Very happy I got it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hendr1k:
the only problem for me is multitouch is really annoying when playing fps. It seems when 2 touches get close to aligning on either the x and y axis it become problem, so when I playing nove, sandstorm suddenly my person will turn around 180 degree. really annoying other than that no complain at all. best device I ever had, no regret buying this product LOVE HTC, next device would be htc sensation or htc EVO 3D

I heard that although the screen stays on, that it will still dim slightly. If that is the case, download "Quick Settings" from the market and change Screen Timeout to never.

[Xperia Play General] Aightu:
Hey Guys.

Since im new to the Android devices i want to know if and why you guys use a custom launcher on the Xperia play. I've done some researching and watched quite a few reviews on ADWLauncher and Launcher Pro but still cant really find why and if i should try one.

Just seems like a big hassle to me. So why and which launcher do you guys use?

- Stefan
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
Landscape, easier to find apps in the drawer more customizable, less memory intensive, more efficient list goes on, bottom line try launcher pro if you dont like it uninstall it ;)
[Xperia Play General] Meister_Li:
I'm using SPB 3D Shell here, which is very smooth and slick, it also looks awesome. Only downside is that it's a little bit of a memory-hog and quite expensive as well.

SPB 3d Shell does use about 10MB from the RAM right? Do you notice anything working slower?
[Xperia Play General] Meister_Li:
Nope, not at all. At first it felt like it was a little laggy, but it seemed phone-wirde, and a a reboot fixed it. Since then, it runs perfectly fast and smooth. I couldn't find any decreased performance in Quadrant or N64Droid/FPSe
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] si2024:
hi, i am recently having truble trying to flash to my HD2, HSPL has been installed and i have an android build installed on the SD card.

i have flashed before but i cannot rememebr what i am doing different. i am trying to flash to the 2.12 build from the 2.08.

i am able to follow all the correct steps up until the phone resets and shows the HTC logo and the status bar. but whilst my phone reset the Windows Device Centre shuts down and the usb connection is lost, meaning the flash cannot commence.

my SD card is not comapatible for flashing direct from their and i do not want to format bacause of the information stored.

can anybody help?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
Enter bootloader manually and then start the flash. If you start it with winmo running it generally times out before the USB can reconnect.

Bootloader, USB cable in, when serial becomes USB, run the flash.

Before you say " but but but intructions say active sync blahblah" , you can ignore that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] si2024:
just tried that sam, it stays at 0% for about 10 minutes. any other ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
In bootloader what does the spl line say?

Oh and try with SD card out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverwind:
Hi, more info please ;)

You said you want to flash 2.12 from 2.08, right?

Correct me if I missunderstood, you referred 2.12 as radio and 2.08 as "SPL 2.08 HSPL", right?

How did you do it? just flashed it or you did task 29?

If you did task 29, will erase the ROM. Then, you cant boot and there will be white screen with HTC Logo.

Regarding SD Card, you can firstly back up the entire contents of it to your PC. Then format SD. Then copy back to SD from PC.

Can you go into bootloader?

You should be able to enter into bootloader to flash either via SD or USB (Active sync)

Hello,

recently I bought an i5800 (android 2.1-update 1), because I wanted to have rooted phone, I read informations about this on couple sites.

I decided to use z4root.

Now when I connecting my phon to the PC kies shows only Phone+Contacts.

Doesent show any data on the SD, and also doesn't show any informations about version of firmware...

How can I fix this?

Best Regards

v

PS: I also installed Link2SD, AppsToSD and Titanium Backup
[Galaxy 3 General] heavens dragon:
update to latest version of kies and also un-install the USB drivers from device manager -> disconnect phone and connect it to other USB port open kies and the driver should install again hope this can fix your problem :)
[Galaxy 3 General] vvviii:
Nope, that doesn't work either :(

Kies updated to 2.0.0.11032_12...

On the phone USB Debug mode disabled, USB Options-> ~Ask after connection.

Kies still does not sees properly the phone, and phone does not shows the window with options Kies,~media player, ~mass storage.....
[Galaxy 3 General] Planet_Lee:
I had exactly the same (infuriating) problem.

I fixed mine by uninstalling Kies, uninstalling the USB drivers then installing java (I know this shouldn't make a difference, but it seemed to).

I was using Windows 7 64 bit.

I found the Samsung_USB_drivers_for_mobile_phones.exe file & saved this to my desktop (before uninstalling).

I think Kies saves it to program files x86/samsung/kies/usb drivers/

Then after uninstall of everything, then installing java,

right click on the driver and run as an administrator.

When it asks where to install it, place it in the /program files/samsung/kies/usb drivers/ folder (not the x86 version, install it to the normal one).

Then find the Kies install file and right click that & install as an administrator to, but let Kies install this to the x86 program files location (default).

Then when it's completely installed (skip finding media, you can do that later), turn off the phone, then connect it to the USB cable.

Then turn the phone ON and let the drivers install as normal.

Just let it do it's thing and after a while, after all installations are complete, Kies will show your phone & will let you see all the folders, not just the contacts list & will show you the firmware version and everything.

Hope this helps.

I made sure I 'ran as administrator' on both install files.

Not sure which bit helped, but it worked for me (and I've tried everything, believe me) :P

*EDIT*

google "Why does Samsung Kies not detect my Samsung mobile phone" for the same info

**EDIT** x2

on looking in my /progam files x86/samsung/kis/usb drivers folder, it sems that Kies has reapplied the driver there & removed it from the 64 bit program files path. Ether way, one of the above steps fixed it, perhaps it's just that I ran everything ad an admin, who knows ?:confused:
[Galaxy 3 General] rishabh9:
Installation of java wouldn't make any difference, unless the installer was java based. The admin rights might have done the trick.
[Galaxy 3 General] Planet_Lee:
Actually, ignore my last post.

Kies now cannot see my Galaxy Apollo anymore, (even though every other program on my PC can !! including WMP12 !!)

I'm sick of this.

What's so hard about detecting a connected device ? !!

Sorry for the rant, but I'm getting really annoyed by this piece of software (Grrr !)

:P
[Galaxy 3 General] vvviii:
Yeah, I do whay you write, it's the same on my pc... now everything is .. not working

I think it's not only a Kies problem+USB drivers but also system on the phon has been changed thats why my phone is not properly working with kies.

Of course, still when I trying to connect my phone to pc I don't see on my phone screen options window that was before z4root/app2sd/link2sd - I mean Kies, media, storage

I see that there is a problem with a part of the Kies - DeviceManager is crashing after phone connecting..
[Galaxy 3 General] Planet_Lee:
Well now, the only way I can connect, is by (control panel) > uninstall programs > uninstall SAMSUNG USB drivers.

(while the phone is NOT connected).

Then launch Kies.

Then select the menu (tools > install driver)

Then wait while it installs the drivers (again !!)

After waiting for about a minute, I reconnect my GT-I5800 to my PC via the (not so universal) USB cable.

I then wait till all the (your device has been installed) messages stop.

Then I have normal Kies control of my Apollo.

But, if I disconnect it, then try to reconnect it, I get no joy.

It will sit at "connecting" forever.

The only way I can reconnect, is to rinse & repeat.

(I.E. uninstall the drivers & 'GOTO 10', which is really starting to boil my p!ss as I have no idea why this is happening).

Every single piece of poo software on my PC can see my phone, except Kies.

Does anyone have any ideas as it'd driving me mad !! :`(
[Galaxy 3 General] sheron:
try this

uninstall kies and all samsung drivers from ur pc

goto download mode (does not need root & it's safe)-(do not open odin)

then unplug the device, remove and re-insert the battery

install kies then connect ur phone by the usual way
[Galaxy 3 General] burddie:
I have the same problem with my phone. An other i5800 can connect successfully with my laptop, KIES and the same cable, but my phone doesn't. :confused:
[Galaxy 3 General] vvviii:
It works...

what I've done....

Back to factory settings in the phone... so just great, the best corrective actions that I ever had :/

I want my HTC Uni back...

*edit*

Kies works 100% ok eaven now sees the update to froyo

so problem was changes that was made by one of the additional software on the phone

Thread can b closed
[Galaxy 3 General] techie.raj:
I also had this problem from long time. I found the reason was the Kies (both 1.5xx and 2.XX) versions are unable to use the default USB driver thats come along with Windows OS.

So the best solution is uninstall the USB driver from Windows device manager and after that install the USB driver from Kies. Then definitely your phone will be recoginized with Kies.

Note: After Uninstalling USB driver and before installing the USB driver from Kies sometimes windows itself tries to install the default USB driver so disable it when its promted.

Hope this helps....
[Galaxy 3 General] vinayvasudev:
Install latest kies (clean install). Before connecting the phone to usb remove the SD card and start in kies. The phone would be detected and drivers would be installed. Disconnect, reinsert SD card and connect again. Problem will be solved. Worked for me.
