[Nexus S General] Edge-Case:
I have been able to spoof my mac address on Android but like some it seems that connecting to a secure network even with a correct key doesn't seem to work...

Has anyone tried running through this process will looking at the catlog over adb and wireshark on a desk/laptop?

It seems another poster mentioned modifying a kerenel module and a C file to hardcode a fake mac address during boot, I was wondering if in the coding one could set up some variable manipulation that would allow a normal mac spoof to also affect the mac on the other request signal after the boot process and during normal user run time. If not I'll look into it myself and see if I practice some C coding and build it.

Also; The monitor mode is of concern to me, is this a hardware issue where the wireless cards on phones do not support monitor mode, or did someone take out the funtionality from the software like maybe during an update to Android or something. I ask because awhile back ago, I downloaded a "Black Ubuntu" image file that had Wireshark and the monitor mode and promiscuous mode was working, I was picking up packets from my neighbors on top of my other networks if I didn't set up a filter.

If anyone has found a fix for either mac spoofing or monitor mode (mon0) please let us know, even if it didn't work right, any research in this area will help.

Using a Vodacom smart mini, or Alcatel v875

Although the app macadress changer 1.04 apk goes "green" as in successful

It doesn't work. I tried above app. Also doesn't work.

Used superuser in busy box

Then: busybox ifconfig wlan0 hw ether MACADDRESS

Got this error:

Ifconfig: SIOCSIFHWADDR: No such device

I read some WiFi hardware does not allow change. Am rooted of course.

If I first down the wlan0 via ifconfig wlan0 and try again, I get another error after trying to change Mac

SIOCSIFHWADR: operation not supported. If you make an app and it throws these. Let the user know via error in app. Your device does not support Mac address changing due to hardware limitations. This avoids bad app ratings. Or am I doing something wrong. I checked what wifi chipset this phone has and its the MT6628 (mediatech)

Not working on Galaxy S2 with SlimBean 4.3. Which commands are you using? The "list" which i should mail you was empty.

Could anyone use [MENTION=1862273]hotsync100[/MENTION]s project (#159 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43531413) and replace "busybox ifconfig" to "ifconfig"???

[Nexus S General] jjbr2:
This list is generated using 'busybox ifconfig' command. Is the wifi enabled when you run the app?

Can you run 'su' on a terminal emulator and then run ifconfig or busybox ifconfig and tell us the output?
[Nexus S General] leechseed:
You re also using hw ether code?

wlan0 or eth0?

WLAN was active, but 'busybox ifconfig' is not supported by my current kernel. Thats why i asked for somebody to mod [MENTION=1862273]hotsync100[/MENTION] s app, as this app works flawless with another kernel.

Maybe you can pick up his project. ;)

Hey. I can change my mac adress with linux procedure:

busybox ifconfig tiwlan0 down

busybox ifconfig tiwlan0 hw ether macadress

busybox ifconfig tiwlan0 up

Note that my iterface is called tiwlan0, dont know why. Im under minicm7 2.2.2 (ginger), nAa-14-kernel, xperia x10 mini pro.

The original macadress is retored after disable/enable wifi. But, ive never managed to get internet with the new mac. Tried busybox route add default gw routerip (as in linux) but no internet. Any idea?
[Nexus S General] leechseed:
Sure;)

Wont work with 'busybox' commands :(

Maybe back to 'netcfg' or 'ifconfig -a' ? Somehow it seems like its (ifconfig wlan0.....) only temporary changes mac as in this screen my mac got back to the original one /edit - it was because i turned wlan off and on. :o edit/

first wlan off, then on - - - 'netcfg' also works without 'su'

Here a terminal screen with (attached):

' su '

' ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55 '

Ok this leads to auth error :( just tested at home where i can see my mac on my pc..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mj0528:
Austin just got LTE and I went with a friend to get the skyrocket. The lag was obvious with the browser but the internet was smoking! It's so tempting to take my less than 30 day old sgsII back to hop on the LTE train. At first glance, i couldn't tell a difference with the display crispness but knowing it's there does bug me. Anyone else go to the skyrocket from the ogsII and have any regrets?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cheiftokitdown:
I made the switch and have no regrets.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hurley81388:
Can you guys comment on the battery life on the skyrocket vs galaxy s2? Have the skyrocket and no lte here yet but already a bit disappointed in the battery. Plus I figure if its this bad now it must be much worse with lte
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
No battery issues here. The skyrocket has been no better or worse than my last 6 android phones
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hurley81388:
Do you have lte in your area?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
Yes. I also used the phone for nearly a month in non lte markets
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hurley81388:
Hm interesting bc I am planning on trading in my 2 week old skyrocket for a s2 next week solely bc of the battery....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cue_32:
I went from GSII to Skyrocket.. I have to agree, battery is not better or worse than most of my past Androids. If anything, this shows better battery life BECAUSE of how LTE should be draining more juice.

Now that ive experienced LTE, its LTE over HSPA anyday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pirateghost:
I've got the opposite. My battery life is worse on my skyrocket than it is on my gs2

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LordGeek:
Battery life for me has been excellent on the Skyrocket .. for me though, I have gone past my 30 days (dammit) .. if there was choice to get the SGS2 or even back to the Infuse .. I would jump on it immediately. The fact that there is MORE out there for ROMs and customization for those other 2 phones than there is for this !!! I figured the SGS2 Skyrocket would have took off in regards to having some neat ROMs .. but I guess I jumped the gun to damn soon.. Even looking at the HTC Vivid, they're in the same boat in regards to getting anything good on there phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pirateghost:
not even close to the same boat.

the vivid has a LOCKED bootloader, and you cant even get perm-root on it. trust me, this is the better LTE phone on AT&T right now.

as for your complaints on roms....no worries. roms are coming ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LordGeek:
Ahh just me venting .. LOL

Yeah, the HTC Vivid looked good (was one of my choices before the SGS2 Sky), but with all the crap out there from HTC CEO and his promises, I knew that one wouldn't be the one to get.

I love the SGS2 Sky .. my final choice, seeing that there was many out there for the original SGS2 (all variants) in regards to ROMs, that the LTE versions (ours and Rogers) would follow soon in regards to the selections .. ME GETTING IMPATIENT .. LOL

But truthfully .. it will be well worth the WAIT :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] merk88:
I think things are starting to look up for the skyrocket we have johnsondr80 of the collective working on his red sonja rom, mortem taum doing amazing wallpapers, da_g doing at&t and Rogers kernels just to name a few
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ajamils:
After using Vibrant for more than a year and recently switching to AT&T with SkyRocket, I'm seeing exceptional battery compared to Vibrant. On moderate use, it never lasted me a whole day. On SkyRocket, I have been using it moderately since 8 AM this morning and after 14 hours, I still have 14% battery remaining.

Im really considering picking one of these up. Ive got the hd lte from korea but my lte dosent work wit att so this would be perfect
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ntantinan:
This phone has the best battery life of the 2 android phones I've had which are the captivate and the g2 and is close to the iphone 4 battery life for me. I'm not in an LTE area but the speeds are already super fast compared to those phones.

I have also been debating between the gsII and the skyrocket because I love flashing roms (maybe I haven't tasted LTE yet), but I am really hoping for great developers to come to this phone. Right now I see a lot of potential though. :)

For now you could also use the T-Mobile SGH-T989 roms haha.

Oh and Pirateghost you made Andromeda!? I was so noob back then but that Rom was awesome! I'm glad you are developing for the skyrocket!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pirateghost:
soon:D

Andromeda was a team effort but I was one of the core members. A founding member of team komin.

I agree The battery is the same if not better than than my Captivate. I live in an LTE market, but the phone spends a lot of time on WiFi when I am home.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk8trix:
My phone suddenly got wiped this morning and I'm not sure why.

More specifically just my google account settings everything else even apps stayed.

Im on cm7 weekly 3 with 1.45 kernel.

everything seems to work ok now and i put my accounts back,only problem is my market keeps force closing.tried uninstalling re-installing and fixing permission and clearing caches but still cant get it to work any ideas why?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
you could always try to install the old market, it has a lot less bugs than the newer versions.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk8trix:
I am on 3.3.12 i tried the older and it doesn't work...I have a nandroid backup to back to but really I want to understand what is making the phone behave this way rather than just flash my backup it's always good to know the source of the problem to prevent it from coming back
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcapone263:
i can't think of anything other than possibly installing some malware. have you been going to any shady websites on your phone lately, or install any third party applications downloaded from somewhere?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk8trix:
no not really all i know is my phone died over night I charged it this morning and when I booted I had to sign in my gmail account again and everything synced up ok except my market began fc like crazy.....idk maybe something happened to it overnight i dont really go on websites much because im usually bury with work idk if it had anything to with me taking out my sim card and using it with my other device and then putting it back in....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bikram:
Just got my Galaxy Nexus from Bell (even though I am with Rogers).

Even thought this phone doesn't have microsd or dual core GPU, but I still bought it. Everything was going well up till it started to drop connection. I noticed twice that it is dropping connections. So I downloaded a software to check it. Then I noticed that it drops connection quite too often.

I also noticed once that my phone started to get really hot once. After killing some apps it was ok, it might be the phone or some bad app that I downloaded. So I guess I can let this go.

I can not find the face lock in this phone. I went to setting>security> screen lock. But I couldn't find any face unlock over there.

Does anyone knows whats going on with Bell GNexus?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RMatt1992:
Try reflashing the stock ROM quite honestly. May have gotten a bad soft load.

Furthermore, the GN has a dual-core Cortex-A9 processor.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] heraclius:
Hello guys!

I need you help, I've Giorgio Armani Galaxy S I-9010 and I was trying to update the firmware. There was 2.2 on it and I wanted to update to 2.3.5 which is the latest official for Galaxy's.

Anyway; it's my first Android phone, that's why I didn't know how to do that. So I started to play with Odin, Samfirmware etc. As you could easily guess; now my phone is BRICKEd and I can not use that.

Now I need your help and directions. Otherwise I'll have to throw my lovely phone away. I want to restore all the factory firmware and settings back so I installed from samfirmware.com -all the necessary files. I got I9010XXKB2 file which has GT-I9010-CSC-MULTI-OXA902407.tar and I9010XXKB2-REV00-ALL-low-CL909299.tar. And I also have GA3_add_hidden.pit file.

As I read forums, I need to put I9010XXKB2-REV00-ALL-low-CL909299.tar and GA3_add_hidden.pit to Odin and it should have worked but always gives errors. I tried different combinations, I installed older version of Odin as well but can not do!

Also Odin has other parts such as PDA-PHONE-CSC etc. In that case, I use PIT and PDA options, not CSC and PHONE. Because I downloadad latest firmware from samsfirmware and there were only 2 files in zip.

Other than that; in that zip file, in that case again, I use I9010XXKB2-REV00-ALL-low-CL909299.tar and other file; GT-I9010-CSC-MULTI-OXA902407.tar -where do I have to put that?

AS you see, I don't know too much and I need to be directed. Could you please help me about that guys? I 'really' need that! Thanks in advance
[Motorola Photon 4G] xketch:
I bought this phone a couple weeks ago, already rooted and on a stock rom , the radios and everything else is flashed for cricket.

My question is, how can I find out if I have an unlocked bootloader and a recovery installed?

May sound like a stupid question, but I'm still new for Motorola, so I'm not used to having a locked boot . My thinking is that it must be unlocked if the phone is fully flashed to cricket.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dboy352:
Turn the phone off and turn it back on. At the top it will say unlocked if it's unlocked. To find if it has a custom recovery turn the phone off and hold the volume down and power until you see fastboot. Then use the volume down button until you see android recovery then press volume up to enter recovery. If it goes to recovery you're good if not then it doesn't. But it will only have a custom recovery if it was unlocked before.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
If you have CWM recovery you shouldn't have to hit up. You should be able to just hold power and volume down and it'll boot straight into recovery. :]
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I want your phone
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Hah. Okay. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dboy352:
Yeah I want it to. I have cwm and I have to cycle to recovery and hit up.

I work my ass off in school, get straight a's and I have all ap classes, but I do disobey her a lot and piss her off at home. I've asked her if she could let me drive, but she wants to wait til I'm 18? I just laugh at her cuz she's crazy if she thinks ima wait til I'm 18 to drive.

Seriously though, why can't you wait a couple of years? Presumably it's your mum paying for the whole thing so she gets to call the shots, right? If you were paying for it might be different, but then you're still living under her roof aren't you?

I was 22 before i could afford lessons, the car and insurance to go with it. Are you working full-time and commuting every day? If not, you don't need a car. You just want one.
[Off-topic] Maxamillion:
Actually, she's not paying for anything. My big brother is paying for the lessons, school, and license. And he's also gonna give me one of his cars. The only thing she might pay for is gas. I need it to get to school, my school is around 5 miles away from where I live, and I'm leaving to college after senior year so I'm gonna need a car obviously
[Off-topic] jaszek:
I don't get you young people. When I was 16, I wanted a good bike, not a car. 20 now, still have no car, and only a learner's permit so I have some form of ID. 5 miles is not far. I used to ride my bike 8 miles to school everyday...IN COLLEGE. YOu are 16, the only reason you would want a car is to show off to the girls. And you would only get the girls that are empty in their heads and only go for money.

Unless you can afford the car, insurance, etc. Just deal with it for two more years.

This. If somebody else is picking up the tab, your mother is obviously only concerned from a responsibility point of view. She knows you better than we do, so we can't really speak to that.. but perhaps you can spend the next few months proving to her with your actions that you are ready to drive?

Perhaps in the meantime you can convince her of a compromise whereby you take your lessons and get your license, and she gets final say on when you're allowed to get a car?

The best things in life are earned. Go show your mother some love and earn your right to drive!

i was in the same situation as you. its something you have to deal with. im 18 now, and am glad my parents made me wait. i got good exercise on my bike, and value the fact that i can now drive as an adult, not a teenager. just my 2cents though. and start behaving and it might happen sooner then you think
[Off-topic] jaszek:
Also, do you have a learner's Permit? First pay for that yourself, then pay for driving lessons, then pay for the licence. If you can do all that yourself then you can drive. Don't depend on others.
[Off-topic] Maxamillion:
alright guys, thanks for the advice, but i can already pay for it, but she still wont let me get my license, it just doesnt make sense? i just want the license, thats all.

Driving my own car i can wait for.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
Then be an adult. Go get your license, while you're at it, move out. Seriously. YOu live under your mom's roof. When she tell you you can't do it, you don't do it. What is it with teenagers and their lack of respect these days? Maybe it's that I come from a different background, and maybe I don't respect many people, but my parent's and their opinions I'll always respect, even if I don't agree with it. Since she doesn't want you to do it, there must be a reason, be it personal, or not. It could be something you don't even know about, and you getting it would have an emotional impact on your mother.
