Ahhhh..OK I was under the impression you were on Prime 1.4 as well. :/

I considered downgrading to Primordial, but from what I understand Prime 1.5 is due out so I decided to wait it out.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velocd:
I downgraded to Primordial 3.1 and I am still having the same VPN issues. The logs look exactly the same. Sh337 what version of VPNC are you running and have you modified your VPNC-script in any way?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hatman41:
Ok newbie question...what is IPsec ID and IPSec Secret? I am trying to setup my connection. I have the VPN server name and of course my username and I have a token plus pass. I left the password field blank.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velocd:
The ipsec id and secret are the VPN Concentrators group name and password.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hatman41:
Ok thanks. When I connect to the VPN via my work laptop all I enter is my pin and password. I checked the settings of the VPN client and it just has the VPN server name in it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jefbal99:
If you are on a windows machine try the following:

Open VPN Client

Click on the profile you are using

Click Modify

On the Authentication tab will be your group name and password

The password is encoded, you'll either need to get it from your VPN Admin or get the hash and reverse it with one of the many tools on the internet.

I use Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client V 2.4.1012 and it does not have the option to view that. I click on pref but it does not show anything. I guess I will have to speak to the vpn peeps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acomiskey:
Anyconnect is ssl....not ipsec which is what they are discussing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M-A-A:

Have you gotten this working?

After I connect,

In terminal, I do "ifconfig wlan0" and it shows my router gateway IP..which is correct.

Then, I do "ifconfig tun0" and it shows the IP address I've gotten from the VPN, which is 10.x.x.x, that is also correct.

The problem is somewhere with routing from the wlan0 device to the tun0 device.

Edit:

OK. I've figured this out. I now have it working on Prime 1.4...

The built-in version of the ip application is broken (the one in /system/bin/) and so the route can not be set up.

To fix:

Mount the /system/bin directory as read/write and rename the file to ip.bak.

This will make the vpnc-script use the busybox implementation of ip (located in /system/xbin)

Hope this helps!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jefbal99:
Does this need to be done only once or does it need to be done before each VPN session is started?

Also, the disconnect now functions properly :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ari197:
anyone ever try using Prime1.5 ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M-A-A:
Just once.

I haven't yet upgraded to 1.5, so I'm not sure about that version.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ari197:
I've just finish flashing Prime 1.5 and try it ..

It would seems the problem is that during normal wifi connection (no vpn), the transformer has 2 route for default gateway (exactly the same). When I connect, one of the gateway will be replace by the tun0 connection while the other stay. That way, I have two different default gateway route, which of course will not work.

I could manually fix it from the terminal, just wondering if there's a better way of doing it ..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jefbal99:
I used it successfully on 1.5 and the IP rename. I was able to RDP to my enterprise desktop via 2X and browse internal websites via DolphinHD
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asummerf:
I used it successfully for the first time last night on fresh install of 1.5. I was then able to browse internal websites via browser...

Only problem I saw was when I tried to shut the VPN, the application would hang and you would loose internet connection.

Adam
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jefbal99:
Yup, you have to kill the app to disconnect. I wish the Dev's would make this more Honeycomb friendly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asummerf:
On top of killing the app you also need to stop and restart wireless for some reason. As without this you loose internet connectivity.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ari197:
hmm .. it would seems that I'm the only one who need to manually change the IP routing each time I need to connect to the vpn ...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hstende:
I got it working too after follow the advise to rename the /system/bin/ip ip.bak

I'm using latest Prime 1.7
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jefbal99:
Since my upgrade to Prime 1.9.1 and now 2.0.1, VPN Connections is no longer working. I get prompted for my PIN, but get an immediate failed to connect. LastConnect log is different now, just says :

process stderr

process had died, return as failed connection

I've renamed the IP file in system/bin to IP.old
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
That sounds like it's replacing the default route and not restoring it.

IMHO, things work best when you have a choice between letting things use your connection unless it goes to a host over the VPN, or using the entire VPN -- probably because I prefer the former.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Have you guys tried VPNC Widget? It's the only app that would allow me to successfully connect to my Cisco IPSec (PreSharedKeys) VPN...

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hstende:
I got the same problem with the vpnc-widget on latest prime.

I also have to delete the android "ip" so that busybox "ip" are the one that the program uses.

The monitoring of vpnc is closed.

The tun-connection is up but the routing isn't set right.

I get 2 defaultgateways

So I have to delete defaultgateway for wlan0

Then the vpn-connection work

The vpnc-widget isn't very honeycomb-friendly

Interesting - I have no issues with VPNC Widget, other than DNS not working, which I can live with....

I'm running Revolver 3.2.2.

Could I just wipe system and reinstall?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jefbal99:
Funky, had it working once on Saturday, but now my routing is back to being broken. I have the IP renamed and can get a connection, but nothing is routing over it.

My VPN admin confirmed that he could see me connecting to the concentrator...

I'm *nix dumb, so bear with me...

I do a ifconfig tun0 and it shows my VPN IP, what can I do to see my VPN gateway? I'm trying to ping many IPs on my Corp WAN and nothing responds.

What can I use to see what DNS servers are being used?

In VPN-C I have the dns1.txt and dns2.txt in /files that have the IPs of my corp vpn.

Last connect has some errors about etc/resolv.conf No such File or directory

I don't remember that error from when it was previously working.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jefbal99:
ok, so now I'm baffled...

When I'm home on my WLAN via my cable modem, I can use Cisco VPN and get into everything fine via my EeePad.

When I connect via Tethering to my cell phone, the VPN session connects, but nothing routes. Currently my cell only operates in AdHoc mode for tethering (Galaxy S2/Sprint).

When I had my EVO, I could do infrastructure tethering and the VPN worked fine over that.

Is there something in AdHoc WLAN that doesn't like a Cisco VPN connection?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
FYI - I just tried connection to my work VPN (Cisco) while connected to an ad-hoc connection - worked fine.

Using VPNC Widget.

I got vpn connections working on my samsung fascinate & successfully connected to cisco vpn with group name and password. I had issues getting the same app to work on the TF. It showed connected, but nothing worked. I was able to connect to VPN indirectly by connecting to tethered phone after turning vpn on the phone, but that is obviously slow since it only works using cell phone data connection instead of WiFi.

Thanks for the info on renaming ip under system/bin for theTF. I can now connect to VPN directly , but I'm having an issue with the app hanging when I disconnect. Usually, I have to reboot the TF to get normal internet back. Anyone else have this issue?

fyi, using revolver 3.9.3 & clemyson v21.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jefbal99:
So VPNC has stopped working again...

I had to do a full wipe on my Transformer and reload Prime 2.11. I reinstalled everything and configured VPNC.

Only problem I see is that my company users a password+RSA token and I can't find a setting in the config to prompt for my token pin

Also, I found ti much easier to edit everything via root explorer
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dm36415:
You should use the Cisco Anyconnect (free in the Market) rather then the VPNC Widget I recommended earlier.

That allows you to enter the RSA Token.

I set it up for my wife last weekend and it worked perfectly.

When attempting to connect, it will prompt you for your password/token.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
I believe that you need special "AnyConnect" licenses on the Cisco equipmnet in order to use AnyConnect and my employer does not have the licenses, so I cannot use AnyConnect (which is why I started using VPNC Widget in the frist place).

I got a problem with anyconnect on my TF.

It worked for quite a while, but after updating to .21 it stopped working.

I got a rooted TF on .19 and installed a pre-rooted .21 update over recovery mode.

Hopefully the title says it all, but for those out there that are slow.

I'm running a clean install of MikG 1.03

I have the latest version of Handcent installed

When i try sending or receiving MMS from someone in my Privacy Box, it never sends the MMS, and it never receives the MMS.

Also, the SMS/MMS never shows up in the normal Message App from people in my Privacy Box.

Just seeing if anyone else is having this issue and if there is a fix for it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M2Iceman:
Both my wifes phone and mine are not receiving or sending MMS, Im on 1.03 and my wife is using OMJ, based of the same so yes we are having issues with Handcent MMS.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M2Iceman:
Ok, after going through a bunch of forums I got mine to work.

First thing I did was go into ROM Manager and fixed permissions then rebooted.

Try that, if that doesnt work then also try

Use root explorer, and make sure it is set to R/W mode (read/write). Navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db and delete that file, then restart your phone. After the restart, you should be able to send and receive MMS messages.

I did both and now I can send and receive on my phone and my wifes phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neipas09:
Ok here is something that i noticed.

If i go to the Messages App -> Menu -> Settings -> Connection Settings (all the way at the bottom)

i see this...

but after installing Fresh Evo and going to the same spot i see this...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neipas09:
Well i'm going to assume it's something to do with Handcent.

I just had someone send me a MMS while they were in the Privacy Box, and i'm running FreshEvo and still no luck getting the MMS.

So just a heads up, Handcent MMS will not deliver in Privacy Box!
[Windows Phone 7 General] jamreal:
Today june 10 i walk into a Orange shop in the UK to ask a question as i was having some network issue and wanted to know if it was from the carrier side of things :mad: But when i got in the shop i got distracted because there was a couple there to upgrade a phone ( the wife was ) you know they were speaking loud so me been nosey started tolisten keenly :eek:

Well the husband was saying to his wife get the Lg e900 which is a Windows Phone and the salesman was saying to get a HTC Wildfire S :confused: well this lady explain and said i want it for basic internet browsing,facebook app and a few other things and so on.

The lady herself really like the Lg e900 but didnt wanna chose it ONLY because she trusted the salesman knowledge over her husbands ( which was obviously the wrong thing to do ) so he the husband kept saying i know my wife for 18 years and i know what she'll like this is a guy that doesnt own a WP7 himself but obviously done his research unlike the salesperson. But he got so fed up of telling his wife so he said (you know what honey get HTC just know that i will not be coming to return it with you.

Like i said this woman liked the Lg WP7 over the HTC Android but because the Orange guy kept saying get the Htc she was a little convinced, so I (just a random guy in the shop) walked over and handed her my own LG e900 and said heres a live model give it a go then decide for yourself, she loved the tiles she like zune i explained it was a simple to use phone and never have to worry update the software been upto date showed her facebook and so on. Right there and then the lady was convinced her husband was smiling all the way through because he knew his wife was confused.

And yes she walk out the store with LG Wp7 maybe my phone broke so i could help someone else out. Microsoft really need to step into these retail stores if they're going to sell Windows Phone because the salesteam dont have a clue and are not promoting the platform. The guy did not have a clue about windows phone he ask me if it was easy to use just imaging that. If i wasnt there at that time the woman would have gone home not even knowing how to set up a email on her Wildfire becuase of confusing UI on the phone... i dont know what to think
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
I agree its pretty bad. I would think MS has gotten wind of this, but if not, they are going to get it now with all the blogs running stories on it (like the PCMag article). Not only do they typically not have a clue the difference between WM & WP, they are almost always hellbent on selling iPhone or Android, and have plenty of misinformation on the wp7 as a whole.

Its very easy to sway the typical consumer as they will not have much knowledge on platforms, and need to rely on the sales reps to guide them. This is not helping wp7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] webstar1:
Now now. Android, u see is a mature platform which doesn't have a confusing ui. What's confusing? A 5 page homescreen where u can put some Widgets to dress up? Then press a button at the bottom and access your apps in alphabetical order? I think that is a much cleaner ui. And no offence but wp7 has no 3d games which can entertain u for countless hours when ur stuck somewhere. So no disrespect to another os. And btw, when u first start a android phone it takes u thru a setup guide including logging in to ur gmail.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jamreal:
Exactly this poor woman didn't have a clue, her husband said she all liked the Omnia 7 but it was too big which tell me she was more interested in the wp7 she just wanted a phone that was easy to use for Facebook and social stuff.

The salesman had a Motorola Atrix which I'm guessing is a good android dualcore phone but a 600mhz Wildfire running android can't compare with wp7 at all. Its just bad. Funny enuff there were 2 wp7 sales guy there I'm guessing they didn't notice what was going on right under thier noses doe becus when I convince the lady they were the ones that showed her how to use the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
There was an article just yesterday about that: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2386647,00.asp

Microsoft certainly knows the issue but I think they're waiting for Mango and Nokia to be ready to make a proper push. Alos they need to make Apple like TV adverts to show people how easy it is to use instead of the generic spots they're running at the moment. That way people would walk into the shop knowing what they want and won't be dependent on salesmen. Mind you I had a similar experience with Android... My girlfriend was due an upgrade (from a Blackberry) so I advised her to go for a Nexus S to get stock Android, good battery life, Gingerbread and all future updates fast. I have a Windows Phone myself but knowing her she would be frustrated by the lack of apps (most of what she uses isn't on WP7 yet) and broken notifications/tiles.

The guy fought her on the choice, saying the Nexus S was the worst Android phone :eek:. He wanted her to go for a Galaxy S 2 because of the huge screen and dual-core processor. I mean, come man you're talking to a woman who will mostly use the phone for basic purposes so

a) 4.3" is way too big a screen and

b) what's dual-core to her? She couldn't care less, she's not a geek.

Salesmen are usually useless and don't know what they're talking about.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jamreal:
The woman didn't care about 3d games or what os is more mature. She actaully used my phone with her own hands and knew exactly what she was getting. Fair enough if she prefered the android phone but I believe the salesman was trying to sell her one strictly because he used one and didn't have a clue about the other os. I'm quite sure the wildfire does not use the latest version of android and only god knows when she would of got it and how troublesome it would have been for her. I ain't disrespecting another Os just talking from experience :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] webstar1:
I don't see why the salesman would only promote android. I mean he must have had a go with a phone from all sorts of OS's. Oh well, im happy she is happy :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] rmcgraw:
And WP7 doesn't?

(it does)
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
For gadget geeks like us, Android isn't confusing. It's actually the easiest system of them all for all-around usefulness. But for ordinary everyday users, yes, Android can be quite confusing compared to the utter simplicity of WP7. You can't get more simplistic than WP7 and that is what the ordinary user will desire. WP7 has 2 screens. One screen is where the apps are. The other screen is the live tiles of the chosen apps. There is no confusion of how to add widgets on a screen or find specific features to enable. The ordinary user will most assuredly be confused by Android at first. But if they did stick with it and put a little time into knowing it, it will become utterly simple to them. The out-of-the-box simplicity, though, goes to WP7. There is really no learning at all. They just tap the tile of the app they want to use and off they go.

The ordinary user can also simply go into the app drawer of Android and tap an icon of any app they want to use, but the customizing features in Android cause them to be confused about how they need to use Android....do they add the widget to a screen to make it work properly or do the enable some menu setting to make it work properly. Maybe they feel they aren't getting the most out of the apps they want to use because they don't understand Android completely right out of the box.

As I said, for us, Android is a no-brainer. But we are acutely familiar with it. The ordinary customer who wants a system to be familiar right from the box will find WP7 fits the need. And the quality and smoothness of WP7 will sell them immediately. Then when they have used it for a while, they will start seeing how reliable it is and be quite content with it in its utter simplicity.
[Windows Phone 7 General] conantroutman:
They probably get better commission if you take an android phone. Simple.

Especially a cheap low end device like a wildfire.

It's not like a salesman actually gives a crap about what's right for the customer, once your out of that door it's not his problem anymore.

[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
I said this on a different forum, and I believe it is relevant in this thread.

MS does a good job of having their reps go around to stores like Office Depot, Best Buy, etc to inform reps about their products, give them free stuff, and in general make the sales reps have positive things to think about MS. They need to do this in the mobile channel, otherwise this is going to be a even harder uphill battle for them. They can advertise all they want, but getting on the good side of sales reps is where it is going to help them a ton.
