[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kBruno:
I have strange problem with WiFi.

Generally Dream connects to the WiFi network and works fine (FTP, HTTP) but only in local network - 192.168.0.*.

Unfortunatelly Android refuses to connect outside (via gateway) to the Internet, WWW, Gmail, Market etc.

You can look at Android IP configuration below:

Everything is also OK with the ICMP (with ping I can reach Internet):

I can assure You that WiFi router configuration is OK (other devices including 2nd Dream connects without any problems).

This problem began with original Firmware, but when I flashed SPL, radio, recovery (cm 1.4), CyanogenMod 4.2.4, (I tried also with original htc dev 1 phone firmware), the problem is still there (after multiple wiping cache/data in recovery).

At the beginning I thought it's software, but now (after flashing) I think that it could be some hardware issue.

Is there anything else I could check (flash) besides:

- SPL

- recovery

- ROM?

What else could You suggest?

What hardware problem could be the reason of such strange behaviour? (corrupted NAND?)

Thanks in advance

PS.

GPRS is also OK

EDIT: EVRIKA!!! TRY setting manually your connection details, when on Wifi page in settings press menu and go advanced, add manual ip and the dns servers, IT WORKS NOW!!!

Apparently I have the same problem, I made a thread for that and I didn't get any ideas ...

3G/Edge is working really fast, but WiFi won't, the only time wifi works is on the first steps of the rom setup, when I log in to Google Account to sync my data(it takes 2-3 minutes for it to connect to my gmail account and then it syncs for another 3-5 minutes, I've got only 300 contacts ), after that everything stops ......

Here's my log, take a look, maybe it helps.

EDIT: On 3G the latency is like 40-60ms and on WiFi between 700-1000ms

The problem here is that my main router's ip address is 192.168.0.1 ////
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kBruno:
>> EDIT: EVRIKA!!! TRY setting manually your connection details, when on Wifi page in settings press menu and go advanced, add manual ip and the dns servers, IT WORKS NOW!!!

I had already done it, but nothing has changed comparing to DHCP.

>> Apparently I have the same problem, I made a thread for that and I didn't get any ideas ...

Have You also tried to use wifi in local network?

When I connect (i.e. downoad from http, ftp, etc.) to some host in local network like 192.168.0.2 there are no problems.

>> The problem here is that my main router's ip address is 192.168.0.1

My is the same, why do you think it's a problem?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Poe408:
hi everybody,

this is my first post here on xda. i just got my magic 32b and i'm still trying to figure everything out.

i'm currently running cyanogenmod 4.2.5 and i'm wondering if there's any way to transfer files to the SD card wirelessly, without having to plug in the phone and mount the SD card. thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] waterbouys:
I installed swi FTP on my phone you have to setup a user name and password port 2121 and run fire ftp on firefox it an add on you have to install setup phones ip address and same user name and password works great
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bjtheone:
You can tranfer files via FTP over Wifi or over Bluetooth.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] apacheo:
If you're a Mac user you can use an app from the market called 'On Air'. Works a treat.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] The Compiler:
There's also an app called aFile in the market which gives you a webinterface (running on the phone) where you can manage and upload files.

Everytime when i want tho istall a cab file under snapvue i get a

message something like this: The file shiftpac".liberate" cannot be opend. Either it is not signed or one of its components cannot be found.

What do i do wrong?
[Shift Development] Dammo:
By default this is the standard result, you need to liberate your device, search the formus for the tearm 'liberate'
[Shift Development] arie9090:
Ok, can i liberate whitout using e-mail. I can't get my gmail settings right.
[Shift Development] DEMiSE:
Probably, but it would be difficult...

Set up a dummy e-mail account, I remember yahoo was easy to configure on WM.
[G1 Apps and Games] idbl_fanatic:
Any free apps out there like on winblow mobile magicall? that you can select certain number, or contact that the phone will just ignore, or send right to VM, also works with SMS?
[G1 Apps and Games] rp1783:
I believe the new phone.apk in development has a blacklist feature. I'm not sure if it works for SMS.
[G1 Apps and Games] pantlessjim:
If you add the number to your contacts, and edit the contact, there is an option to send a call directly to voicemail.

Third party SMS applications such as Chomp SMS or Handcent SMS give you blacklist options for SMS.

Super Private Conversation

Super Private Conversation, it is available on the Market.
[G1 Accessories] thecolorifix:
This is actually a really great idea, but not feasible for most people, where do you get an extra G1 keypad?

But, if you could cut a piece of plastic or something to the size of the G1 keyboard (so it would sit snugly) you could just punch holes and/or put buttons on the spots over your selected keys.

Hmmm, I bet even something like a credit card would work.

Just cut the bottom off so it sits perfectly on the keboard, poke holes over the keys you want to press...

The hard part is figuring out how to make buttons.
[G1 Accessories] wakeupkeo:
Thanks for the feedback!

I think you definitely need buttons as opposed to simply holes.

There are two bolts the screen swings to. When I get my next keypad, I am planning on turning that part of the plastic piece into hooks that secure the gamepad. Should be here soon, $20 from hong Kong on ebay. I had the first spare keypad from my Stormtrooper Mod. Others might have one lying around for one reason or another, these are hackers after all.

Credit card idea is perfect, I initially carried the gamepad in the stock g1 padded case but nowadays I keep it in my wallet. Its not bigger than a credit card, and even with the securing improvements still should be smaller than than my id. Iths thin and flexible to handle the wallet no problem.

Once I finish the final version, I will diagram the exact measurements for you all to build your own out of whatever with assurance the buttons will line up!

Edit:

I found the top part that was originally cut off. Its separate but shows layout above the keypad. This is the cut I'm thinking to allow the gamepad to slide into a stationary position. Here is where I'm hoping for more advice on how to cut this just right.
[G1 Accessories] alexjzim:
kinda jumping in here. i tried doing it with a credit card, and it works amazing.

i did this for gameboid. it works amazing, actually. better than i expected. i tried it with mariokart (gba), a game where u constantly are moving your thumbs, and so far it was great... ill upload a video when im done with my lab :/

anyways. my tools were: Sharpie, swiss army knife, multiple scissors, tape, and a subway eat fresh rewards card >:]

first i fit the card onto the g1. it slides in pretty nice already, just had to cut off excess...card. marked it with a sharpie, fit to size. try not to make a mess of what you cut off, it comes back. i figured out the buttons i wanted to use. i started with the "dpad." i took the needle thing on the back of the swiss army knife and stabbed it through the card. made it big enough to start cutting. cut out to size. did this for the rest of the buttons as well. i then took the excess card stuff and started cutting out buttons that would fit. started with everything around the same size as the keyboard buttons. i put them in the wholes of the card that was cut out previous, made sure they werent touching the wall, and put a single piece of tape over the top. did that to the bottom too. then, since the dpad felt awkward, i cut one out that imitated the regular gba keyboard, and doubled it on top of the current dpad. i doubled therest of the buttons as well, to have them pop out a bit. put a single piece of tape over the top, none on the bottom. just used some tape to help it stay on the g1, not much is needed, its pretty snug.

as you can see, it isnt great looking, but it works really well
[G1 Accessories] Icebergxx:
I've always been curious about making use of the mini usb drive the g1 has.

Imagine a shell casing around the phone that mounts into the port and has buttons that can be key mapped into apps for dpads and abxy buttons.
[G1 Accessories] alexjzim:
i wouldnt get your hopes up. ive tried stuff like that...didnt work out so well. the drivers in the phone only allow the usb driver to do certain things... same goes for the export...it just wouldnt work that...for the normal person. if u have alot of time on your hands and phones you can risk breaking (like HTC, but they have no reason to do this), then go ahead
[G1 Accessories] wakeupkeo:
Nice Credit Card Hack- I think we're onto something here. Easily a way to match the two and offer people diagrams with exact measurements to make their own. Personally I would have kept the L button to the right, so you don't need to leave the directional pad to press it, but whatever your preference.

As for the USB hack, I have done extensive research into this area, and it seems without some code from HTC directly, no one has been able to break into this or a bluetooth hack. Seems easy, usb or bluetooth 12-15 keyboard buttons and we'd be set. But no one has been able to break it, so I have gone to this hardware hack. Any breakthrough news would be greatly appreciated on this thread, but up until now it seems we are at a wall software-wise.

On another note, in doing GBA game research, I noticed a big part of the games were ported from SNES to GBA, so I bought the SNES emulator and gave it a chance. Wow, what a difference. Honestly, the gameplay is so much faster and responsive, the library of games is so much more diverse, I hardly play GBA games anymore until I finish the SNES library. I'm currently working my way through Super Punch Out, and love using Prototype One. When people see me playing the SNES library, they hide their iPhone. Everyone I have encountered admits a separate gamepad is preffered over touching the screen and losing some visibility, and are amazed at the dexterity the Gamepad Prototype One offers. Please keep experimenting people!

Still waiting on my parts from hong kong to make the final design, its taking forever!
[G1 Accessories] alexjzim:
looking forward to it.

my hack is ok, but it looks like it would break over time. kinda a cheap hack i guess, cost nothing. urs shows promise. engaget worthy :D
[G1 Accessories] phuKKah:
Reminds me when I had iPod Linux on my iPod video 5.5g. We would solder the cables of a nes controller to the board and run it out a hole in the side where there was room -.-) and mounted it in a rough mount on top of the controller.

Worked decent :3 but we couldn't do it through usb as stated because we didn't know how to 'awaken' the usb for such use.
[G1 Accessories] Icebergxx:
I forget, driver installers? The softwear that makes plugging something into the computer readable and usable?

Anywho I feel as if we devoloped an app to read the modded usb port for it it might work?

Especially with root user.

But I really am more of a concept sort of guy :D
[G1 Accessories] UnkzDomain:
Hmm, I'm kinda diggin the credit-card thing... I might use an old expired library card or something xD

Can you go a little bit more in-depth on how you made it though? How did you get it to pop up and not hit other buttons when you push down on it?
[G1 Accessories] alexjzim:
lol. ive been slacking off posting everything. what i did was cut a whole in teh credit card where i wanted the buttons. make it bigger, doesnt have to be perfect. i then cut tiny peaces to the size of the button, so it would only press one. put a single piece of tape over the top and bottom.

then i cut out more of the remaining card to make the buttons bigger, and to make the "dpad" easier to use . put them over the original buttons, so it pops out.

if u dont get it, ill post a video using paper to show what i did. while im at it, if u need that, ill just make a video on usage
[G1 Accessories] thecolorifix:
AWESOME!

This is exactly what I had in mind but was too lazy to actually try. Now you've inspired me to actually try it though!

One of the coolest thing about this is you could do whatever button layout you wanted! You could even carry a few with different layouts for different games.
[G1 Accessories] wakeupkeo:
Heres a question for you all:

I finally received a new body to make a final gamepad, but I have a question for all you gamers- is a simple four-way directional button layout better than eight different directional buttons? Experience in games so far don't seem to show much need for diagonal buttons if pressing the the two buttons it combines is just as good. The credit card hack has only the four directions, so in designing my final, what you you think is better in terms of gameplay? SNES is my favorite emulator, so answers partial to that are preferred!
[G1 Accessories] wakeupkeo:
Bump. Is that allowed? Just posted new prototype...
[G1 Accessories] thecolorifix:
Here's my super low-rent, quick and dirty (literally) version so far. This is the prototype before i make the better one.

I've only done the d-pad, I'm playing around to see which buttons I want to use for a b x y or whatever.

It actually works REALLY well.

Once I finish this one, I'm gonna cut up another card, but this time cut a section out of the right side of the card (if you've holding it horizontally) so it wraps around the "chin" of the phone to stay in place better.
[G1 Accessories] wakeupkeo:
Nice!

Yes, these designs work REALLY well...

Think I will try to do a credit card one, the plastic is more flexible that the CD case plastic. I want to keep the piece in my wallet, and I know a credit card can take the pressure and flex. Not sure about the cd case plastic yet...
[G1 Accessories] H@OBouget:
cheap source of plastic for these mods....

Grocery stores.

Alot of them have the area for phone cards and prepaid cards.

None of those cards have any value until they are activated.

They have some that are thinner plastic and some that are thicker. Most are paper with a plastic coating.

I grabbed a bunch when I did my phone stand prototypes.

(Which reminds me...I never posted that.)
[G1 Accessories] alexjzim:
your #4 seems to be really nice. i like the color and design. it seems to hook around the g1, which im pretty sure you were aiming for. how exactly does it work in terms of force for the keys?

and if ur gunna go for a credit card, if u put a thin layer of take over both sides, and leave the button in a "hole," it works pretty nice.

im gunna try some new ideas in my #2, thought ide share them in case you want to take them :P

for the buttons, ill take apart my old gameboy, or SP ( i remember those days :D) and use them, if they fit. for force in the actual keyboard, i was thinking of actually using springs, not sure exactly how it would work :confused: ... maybe cut a small one from a pen up. for stability, it just popped into my mind.. idk about you but i can easily slide a piece of paper through my g1s screen. not a credit card, but deff. at least movie stud thickness. what im getting at is, you could probably make a "hook" thats straight, and once it pops under the screen, you can bend it, or maybe its meant to pop (i like this word) to hook onto something, like a hairclip. a spring might work here too. hell, when you open the screen and it moves out, theres definitely room to slip a thin wire through. just tie a "knot" on the end of the wire, slip it through, and when its closed, the wire cant come out. just have to make sure its a tight fit. then, if the plastic can curl around on the other side, you'd be good to go.

just giving my 2 cents. ill prob try this stuff sometime over the weekend, maybe sooner.

also, you can set the camera button to something, not really sure if thats helpful, but you could prob make it start, and have room for other stuff.

also, on my dpad thing, i noticed that lets say if i set an UP+LEFT key, it only goes up, if i have two different keys for up and left, and press them at teh same time, it still only goes up. anyone else having this problem? gets annoying after a while

EDIT: improvising on myself, i came up with how it could work. might need more plastic than there is on a credit card :/. anyone know that type of material, but in a bigger...card? doesnt need to be exactly the same, just close enough.
[G1 Accessories] winhax:
Has anyone attempted this?

I saw this thread and was wondering if anyone has tried installing wminput or lswm to get a wii remote working with bluetooth under Debian or Ubuntu? I just started playing with it myself.
[G1 Accessories] H@OBouget:
Assuming your are in the states...

The grocery store area I was talking about has cards for Disney Land they are like 6 inches long, and CC type plastic. The lower portion is a gift card (cc sized) but the upper portion is the part you would break off an toss.

After you remove the bottom the remaining part is the length of a CC squared.

If your not in the states...I could mail you a couple.
[G1 Accessories] alexjzim:
im in NY. i have a king kullen and a stop and shop in my town. so ill check them out over the weekend. thanks for the info. if u get a chance though, can you post a picture? i wanna know what exactly im looking for. not exactly sure what ur talking about
[G1 Accessories] H@OBouget:
The ones I used looked like this....

Black out for trademark protection.

Oh and thats the little phone holder I made with the CC plastic.

I can make one out of 5 business cards too.

Useful for holding the phone while watching a vid.
[G1 Accessories] alexjzim:
thanks. ill look into that over teh weekend. i wonder whats behind those scribbles. this will bother me for the rest of my life!!!
[G1 Accessories] wakeupkeo:
alexjzim, thanks for the camera button tip! I have those as my quick load and save buttons now so I think I am done!

I originally designed the last prototype with some old school nintendo coloring, but wasn't digging all that grey. I'm changing to all black with grey and red buttons. Will post pics of the final soon.

I'm sticking with the cd case build, I know all of you don't have access to dremel tools to grind it out, but for me it works. Its bigger than a credit card so I can cover whole area, and the thickness keeps it tight in place while I'm doing some heavy button mashing.

alexjzim, love to see what you come up with for the button mod with your old gameboy!
[G1 Accessories] thecolorifix:
Here is my second prototype I whipped up tonight

I used a CD case this time like wakeupkeo suggested, it worked great. It especially made it easier to find where to put the holes using clear plastic.

I used an eraser from a mechanical pencil for buttons, it worked perfectly sliced into small segments.

I just played some Yoshi's Island and it is 100 times easier than just trying to use the regular keyboard. I'm gonna make all my friends with G1's one of these for christmas.

Update: DIY Gamepad Final

Link to all pics

Well after two more prototypes and a lot of hard work, I feel that Prototype 4 was the winner. I made a little more adjustment to the top where it wedges in, and of course some coloring for asthetic reasons, and I am through with this project. I have a great final piece, thank you to everyone who helped with advice along the way, and I hope my work helps others save time on their creations.

Project result: a great little gamepad that hides in my wallet until time to play some games! Buttons respond great, have the tactile feel I was looking for, and no longer slides during heavy button mashing! Not easily replicatable but worth the time.
