[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namz:
Guys,

I recently came across connectify app and installed it on my Windows 7 laptop. It installed just fine and created a WIFI Hotspot for me.

But when I try to connect to that WIFI Hotspot from my desire , it keeps saying "Obtaining IP Address from Connectify" and never connects. I am not sure what's wrong , something in my Desire or something with Connectify or if I need to fix some settings in my Win7 laptop ?

Can someone please advise.

FYI - Windows 7 is connected to a my workplace LAN and requires a proxy authentication if i need to access internet.

Thanks in advance;

Even I'm facing problems connecting to Connectify.

I suspect that IP address is not getting assigned since there are no DHCP servers running on the PC. That might be the first problem

Second thing is, even if I run a dhcp server (I'm yet to do it...) in my PC, I think the wifi and ethernet might be on the same or different network based on how the dhcp server is configured. But setting Default Gateway and DNS settings are whats getting me confused.

If I can find some Idle time, i can experiment and try it.. If anyone is already using it successfully, they can post on how to do it here.. will be very helpful.

My laptop is connected to my ADSL modem via ethernet cable, and I'm connecting the mobile to my Laptop's wifi (Via connectify which makes the WLAN in laptop appear as an Access point). This connectify should share the wired internet to my mobile via Wlan but i'm have not yet found how to set it up..

I had the same problem with connectify and I sincerely suggest you to try Virtual Router. It's crappy but it works.

Hey. I tried Connectify put I got the 'obtaining IP address' problem.

So I tried Virtual Router ... but again I have having problems 'obtaining IP'.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vpraveenis:
Connectify`s main usage is to share the wired broadband to the mobile using wifi in laptop as a hotspot. It should be fairly straightforward but needs to set some settings correctly. It would be great if someone for whom its working to post it setp-by-step. Will be really helpful.

And strangely there are no guides on the net on how to set it up exactly in wondows 7 and connectify homepage does not give any useful info.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jUsT2eXy:
I keep getting "obtaining IP address from..." on my Android device...

why is this?

Virtual Router or connectify don't work..

is it because android does not support Ad-Hoc?

I have running Froyo 2.2 though...

Any help? :confused:

Thanks :p

Hi,

I don't know if it's really the same problem here but I also had some issues with Windows 7, connectify and the devices I tried to connect.

After following the steps to create a wifi hotspot, I had to deactivate the windows firewall on the private networks (I specified to windows that the connectify network was a private network).

There should be a way to setup the correct permission in the firewall's permission table to make it work properly... Unfortunatly I haven't find it yet.

So it's a quick fix. Hope it will help you.

Hi guys,

Am new to this forum and new to smartphones.

i faced the same problem in connecting my Wildfire to PC with connectify.

finally i got my own way to sort it out

as most of u got till "obtaining IP address" next is

menu>settings>wireless and networks> wifi settings.

in that again menu>Advanced .

fill these settings

1. check on the static IP

2. IP addres = 192.168.2.2

3. Gateway = 192.168.2.1

4. netmask = 255.255.255.0

5. dsn1 = 8.8.8.8

6. dsn2 = 8.8.4.4

now close wifi and restare wifi Hope it will work. It worked for me

Dude/Dudette, I Love you soo very much for this valuable piece of information. Have a "Thanks" ;) It works!

Almost forgot, Welcome to XDA!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aeoveu:
You need this file for the Desire - search around XDA. You might have to download version 6 of the file.

When you download it, flash it from recovery.

Meanwhile, create an adhoc network on your laptop or wherever, configure the IP address (192.168.137.1 is the IP of the laptop - Windows, for some reason or another, doesn't like sharing on other IPs, though I haven't tried lately) and set your encryption to WEP.

Share your connection from LAN, and you're good to go. On the phone, the adhoc networks will be represented with an asterisk, like

i came here from google as well. i had the obtaining ip address issue with connectify on win xp and zte blade with cyanogenmod (N142). thanks to this post, i solved the obtaining ip issue, and my phone managed to connect to connectify. apparently: my phone doesn't appear in clients tab in connectify, and my phone doesn't transfer any data traffic. so from the phone it looks like connected, but from connectify no.

edit: i found out that i succesfully connect to connectify with my smartphone only the first time i try (because it worked the very first time i used connectify and the first time i tried again after a complete reset of my phone). then, if i disconnect/reconnect, i find the "obtaining IP"/"no data traffic" issues. of course, resetting my phone each time i want to use my laptop's wifi isn't very handy..

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sshzsw:
Friends i had the same problem so i searched for solutions and what i found was that there is no problem with the software it was our antivirus which was creating this probelm.

""This is usually the result of Anti-Virus or Firewall software interfering with the normal operation of Connectify.

The Connectify program is actually a set of three modules. The user interface you use to set up Connectify is just that, a user interface. It tells other components how to set up your hotspot, then they go and do just that.

One component runs as a daemon (a background program), the other as a Windows service (another kind of background program). Both have access to system-level interfaces in Windows, and they use both Windows APIs and Connectify's own web-style interface for various kinds of communication.

Security software will sometimes try to block this kind of behavior if it doesn't know that you're permitting it. Virus programs can use system services to do damaging things to your PC, while spybots or spambots need internet access to do their evil deeds. So your security software is doing it's job if it blocks Connectify -- you have to tell it that Connectify is a friendly service. Which is detailed in our Firewall article.

So, the main reason you might see a "Connecting... " message that never ends, or times out, is security software on your PC. Connectify as a hotspot has to assign internet addresses to your devices. It uses a fairly clever algorithm to select a range of IP (Internet Protocol) addresses that won't cause conflicts with your PC, other routers that your PC or ISP may connect though, etc.

The assignment of an IP address is an internet protocol called DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). Your device connects via the wireless layer, which is a connection, but it's kind of like plugging in a cable -- your device will be connected to your PC and to part of Connectify at that point, but it's not on the Internet yet. That DHCP request goes through Connectify's host/router, and gets sent via a primate communications method to our server, which knows about every other connection that's been made, and will lease out an IP address.

If any of these things are blocked, you never get the IP address. This could be something (probably a Firewall) blocking the DHCP request, or it could be something blocking internal communications between the different Connectify modules. Connectify is working on tools to better help users find these kinds of problems, but the simple answer is simple: it's probably your security software..""

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MIMi King:
Had the same issue.. but now I have fixed it. That's because of you firewall. Your firewall actually block the services that Connectify uses to obtain an IP Address. Just disable your firewall and it will work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalaikvanan:
simple solution

you have to change the ip address acording to ur system ip address.

1.go to network and sharing center

2.click change adapter settings

3.right click on "wireless network connection 2" i.e ur virtual wifi miniport adapter and select properties

4.then double click on internet protocol version 4

5. u can see ip address there. then go ur mobile static ip settings. and change the ip address as in ur system except last number."192.168.232.1" mostly in all system last number will b "1". dont put "1" in ur mob. change to "2 or 3" instead of '1' as ur wish.

6. then in gateway put the ip address as in ur system. eg. 192.168.232.1

7. then dns1 is 8.8.8.8 and dns2 is 8.8.4.4

thts it. now connect. this s wrking like charm for me. try this guys

when you do a factory reset, do you only lose yoru data, or the rom settings as well? i have baked snack and flash kernel 2 after, so would i have to reflash it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
It returns the ROM back to its initial state. On the kernel portion I do not know. I would guess it does not touch that. I say that because I can't imagine that ROMs alter the kernel on a reset when this (in my mind) would be over kill with a pretty common task. Again this is just my input and could be totally wrong.

I'd love to be able to send audio (FM Radio, Sound player, podcasts, etc) to my mono bluetooth headset.

I have a Scala Rider headset in my motorcycle helmet, and I'd love to hear music from my Galaxy while riding.

I found "Super BT Mono" in the Android Market, however the free version doesn't seem to work. It doesn't do anything other than show an icon in the notification bar...

So, is this even possible?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
possible yes

quality will suck

back in the old days, when they did not sell single sided A2DP BT headsets, many programmers created apps to send audio via BT to non A2DP capable headsets.

but not sure if any developer is going to take on the challenge, as it's so easy to buy a single ear A2DP BT headset now in days
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pure_energy1:
I understand about the quality, and am willing to live with it.

With regards to the headset statement, trust me, the motorcycle community will love the developer of this app.

The SCALA RIDER Bluetooth headset attaches to the motorcycle helmet. So we can't just get any A2DP single ear headset. We're stuck with this.

It will probably be free on XDA. Might ask 99 cents for it on the market.

I've been looking for that as well. I used BToggle for 3 years on my WM5 HTC wizard. and was REALLY disappointed when I got the G1 and found... what?? NO BToggle!! so I bought a stereo A2DP headset. but with 5-6 hrs play/talk time = workable but less then happy. then I found, tested and bought Super BT mono shortly after it hit the market and use it alot!! only thing is now I miss the notifications "Pushed" to my non A2DP headsets. and this is what I want.

I think it can be done by changing parts of bluez but I dont know what yet. if anyone can point me in the right direction I'm willing to stumble my way through.

nice app

i tested it on froyo and have the following problems:

*) when using skype, it always changes back to normal phone speaker, i have to start your app again and press yes a few times, to route back to BT-headset again

seems that some actions switch it back to phone speaker

*) microphone of bluetooth headset is not routed yet, i hope this is also possible

but thanks fo the app, i hope it will work fully soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pure_energy1:
Awesome, Thanks! I'm going to take a look at it over the weekend.

My first proposal to it would be to have a small widget allowing to turn BTmono On/Off with a single press of the widget.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bedoig:
Hmm...sounds like Skype is trying to manually set the audio routing itself. Not sure if there's much I can do about that.

As for the microphone, I hadn't really considered that. I was thinking of this as purely a means of getting audio from the phone to the BT headset. Does Skype not work with a BT headset using the standard headset profile?

Ya, a widget is definitely on the to-do list. I need to add that to the market description. I wanted to get the basic functionality out there for now, and then add on over time. I probably wouldn't even have made it if the existing apps on the market weren't ridiculously overpriced, hehe.

Hi all!

I am a new man to develop ROM. Now I had been assigned a job to create a Windows Mobile ROM. But I know nothing about it. I have many questions:

1. What work cycle I should follow for this job?

2. I had ever compiled Windows CE 6.0. And I had NK.bin after compilation. Can I use this as a kernel in Windows Mobile?

3. What tools I should use to build ROM?

4. Suppose I had already create a ROM, hwo to depoly it into Mobile Phone?

I hope some expert with experience about this can help me, and told me how to do. Thank you very much!
[General Topics] the_scotsman:
First, we need to know which device the ROM is for. Each Windows Mobile ROM is device specific.

Then you need to decide which version of WM you want to include.

Also, there are several tools (called "kitchens" for cooking the ROM) available on these forums. OSKitchen and Ervius Visual Kitchen are the two that most people use.

And you need to have some kind of understanding of the ROM structure of a Windows Mobile ROM and which files are responsible for which part of the OS.
[General Topics] whiteclouds:
Thanks for your reply!

I had downloaded these two applications. Now I can use erviusKitchen to dump a ROM downloaded from HTC offical web-site. But I don't know how to change the DEVICE, Language and so on. All those are read only.

I was able to play an AVI file stored on Windows 7 Media Center PC - but it would not play any of my recorded shows - DVR-MS or WTV.

If I have to convert them all to MP4 or AVI, i might as well just copy them over locally as Windows down converts things that are streamed.

I could stream a video I recorded on the phone back to a windows 7 PC - that was sort of cool - 720P HD looked nice.
