[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihtfp69:
MAC addresses are burned into the hardware so I do not think you lost yours. Try running the code below with the phone booted or in recovery and then flashing another kernel. King's kernels come with a lot of extra modules and they may be causing issues when you flash other kernels and they are left behind. This code will clean them up. This is just a thought. It may help you.

NOTICE: this will render your wifi/hotspot completely useless until you flash another kernel. Also be careful you type in the commands verbatim

While Booted:

adb remount
adb shell
rm -R /system/lib/modules

In Recovery:

adb shell
mount /system
rm -R /system/lib/modules

had the same problem and i am running the exact same set up. I fixed the problem by reading the xda forum for that rom and he clearly states that you have to uninstall the wireless tether from market and get the lastest versions. the market is not the lastest version. Go to the thread and he has the link posted to the updated wireless tether.

thanks for the feedback guys.. @ihtfp69: i tried reflashing back to the second stock kernal in the kernal list of rom manager.. can't remember the name.. its weird when i goto the advanced options of wifi settings.. it say's "Unknown"..

i'd screen cap it but i am in the process of just restoring the original rom from factory..

@jager420: its really nothing to do with wifi tether is it? i'm trying to access my router to my phone, not wifi tether to the router via repeater...

Thanks again for the help and especially ihtfp for the adb coding..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remy2501:
drocaps.. this is after wiping then doing a nandroid restore of the phone after deboxing and applying root.. the radio never went back.. going to try downgrading the radio.. then try the adb codes as a last shot.. haven't got adb to work correctly in the past.. i keep forgeting to mention that, at first before i lost my MAC, i would get that issue i metion first.. then after i lost the mac, everytime i tried to turn wifi on it would just say "error".. haha..

--

ok so i went back to stock radio and got my MAC address back.. does bluetooth have a MAC address? can't remember.. under blue tooth it says unavailable..

haha nevermind, had to activate it before it showed up.. so my MAC issues are resoved.. now i just need to get it to connect to the damn router so i can get faster speed on my phone when home..

--

ok so from what i could figure.. i went to set the router to broadcast on the 11th channel.. using 2.462GHz.. has no problem connecting.. its running in g-mode also.. i found that when i set the router to defualt channel settings it couldn't pickup an ip.. channels 1-6 proved to be no luck.. thanks again for the help guys..

--

welp. i was connected good for awhile.. using wifi to install apps and stuff after my fresh install of skyraider 3 rc2.. i have wifi sleep at 15 minutes.. i seen wifi went off and back to 3g.. so i tried to reconnect wifi to see if it would work and nope. back to the same issue as before.. stuck at connecting then trying to obtain an ip from router. never gets past the obtain part, just disconects and trys again... looks like i'm back to square one.. could use some help before i go nuts... fixed the system info in op to show whats going on now..

I'm also having the same issue where i cannot connect to my wireless router. Are there any other possible solutions? It's strange because the phone will connect to a neighbors open wireless network but will not connect to mine. It just keeps cycling through and cannot obtain an ip address. Thanks in advance.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remy2501:
what router do you have? make? model?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazin_phattys:
This thread has been dead for a while, but it's the only one that describes my problem.

I am using the latest Skyraider Athena right now and whichever kernel it comes packaged with.

Until yesterday, I was able to connect to my home wifi network without any problems.

Last night I noticed that it would try to obtain an IP, but fail and try again... over and over again.

I took my phone to work and it connects to my work network fine. It also works on my fiancee's network.

WHAT HAPPENED?

I reset my router and it didn't help. I really need wifi access in my house since I'm in the basement most of the time and I don't get cell signal.

Any ideas? I've thought of renaming my network and changing the password. That's a huge PITA considering the number of devices I would then have to change the settings in.

Please, someone have an answer.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xirftwx:
This may seem a little too simple.. but I remember my dad having a similar problem with his EVO. All I had to do is "Forget" the network, reconnect to it, and re-enter the WiFi password. Is it possible you changed the security on your router? Your phone is probably trying to connect with the old password you had before if that's the case.

Good Luck,

Sounds like an issue with a mismatched Kernal for the ROM your using or just a bug on the ROMs build. Had the same issue with MIUI roms when I first tried flashing kernels. Mine would scan, obtain & connect, and then drop and scan for other connections. What setup are you running?

Same problem here with all my android devices....

HTC EVO stock (2.2) did the same thing with rooted 2.1 (unrevoked)

HTC EVO 3D stock (2.3.3)

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 stock (3.1)

Happens on my home wireless router as well as work. Sometimes, just sometimes I'll be lucky and it'll connect after multiple tries or reboots of my home router (cant touch the work one).

This has got to be an android issue...right?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remy2501:
guys i wish i could remember what exactly i did to fix it... i haven't had the issue since..

try checking the wifi type? as far as i know, type n is not going to work. i could be wrong.. try b or whatever else floats your boat.. also, it could be the kernal.. i have been using my incredible with cynogen mod 7 and with no problems on the standard kernal.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cire216:
Update tor firmware on you router.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Great tip. Also try backing up your routers configuration most newer routers have that option, (usually part of the software that comes with the router) and then factory reset your router. Then do the basic setup of your router and see if you can connect, if you can then restore your routers config with the backup you made. If it still connects cool, but if it stops connecting, then something is up with your config.

Also our phones only do the 2.5ghz band not 5ghz. We can only connect to b or g networks with the stock kernel, however there are a few kernels that have n support but only on the 2.5ghz band so its limited to 72mbps, not really full n but still faster than g. Using a static ip should work fine and imho is better than using dhcp to assign you one, it makes connecting faster and configuring port forwarding easier.

I think there is some issue in the ROM's / kernel.

because I am seeing this problem in all places when I switch on my wifi.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
That could very well be. The bcm4329.ko module controlls wifi and is part of the kernel. Easy way to find out is to flash another kernel and see if the problem persists, or is fixed. Its not likley an issue with the rom it self.

Ok I've tried following many guides but I cannot flash no matter what I do... I have Odin3 1.00 and I've tried the JH3 firmware... I've also tried the Oneclick JF6 firmware... each time it gets hung at "File Analysis". Is there something that I should have done beforehand that I'm missing here? The drivers are installed, Windows recognizes the devices... I've even tried with the SD card and SIM card out of the device and still no dice... This is what I do:

1.) Boot device holding Vol+ and Vol- (should I hold it until it boots or just start it and let go?)

2.) Once the device has the white triangle with an orange exclamation I then Open Odin3.

3.) I select the 512k PIT file.

4.) I then add the firmware file to the PDA and check the box.

5.) I then hit start...

After these steps nothing happens except "File Analysis".

Any ideas from anyone? I'm tearing my hear out because I really want to like this device and like android but if I can't address some of these issues then I can't really enjoy either...

try a different USB port or even a different computer. It never works on my desktop where it always gets stuck at File Analysis, it works just fine on my laptop.

Try,

Start Odin, select pit and pda w/tar

Then start download mode on phone.

Then click Start on Odin.
[Captivate General] Clienterror:
Turn on debugging on the phone, plug in the usb, open odin 3, open a command window and navigate it to your sdk/tools folder then type "adb reboot download" no quotes. Then pick your files in odin and start it. Make sure you put in that check mark on PDA as well. Hope it helps.
[Captivate General] itpromike:
Where can I download a copy of the SDK from?
[Captivate General] dontshakepandas:
If you are getting into download mode don.t worry too much about the adb stuff. It does make it easier but if you are in download mode that isn.t your issue.

What version of windows are you using? On my win 7 64 bit machine it wouldn.t work until I ran it in compatibility mose for xp service pack 3. You may want to try that if you are on win 7.

Hey everyone I need some help

I just upgraded my Milestone to 2.2 using dexter's awesome method and it's running amazingly, the problem is I don't seem to have access to all the apps in the market anymore and I just got a car alarm installed that I can control from my phone and I can't seem to download it anymore from the market...

Now I tried using Market Enabler and it still wasn't there so I started to dig deeper and found that I had a Nandroid backup of it on my SD card, but instead of being a normal .APK it's a .ZIP file.

So I need everyone's help in figuring out how can we change this .ZIP into a workable .APK? I tried just changing the extension and it essentially looks like it will install the app but then says Installation Failed... What am I missing guys? There's got to be some way to get the app back!

Its the Viper SmartStart alarm app so if anyone can help me out please!!

If you guys have been in the Accessories part of the Captivate forum.. you'll hear alot of people's opinions with different screen protectors.

Such as me who's currently rocking me some PhantomSkinz.. I seriously don't notice I have a screen protector on unless I try to dig my nail into the protector lol but why would I do that!? Not to mention it doesn't really have that rubbery texture.

It's really awesome. if you're not a fan of PhantomSkinz someone said SGP skin protectors are awesome. The user even said it actually made the touchscreen much more sensitive to the touch. :) just a heads up for those who aren't sure about screen protectors.

The video btw shows some scratches on the device .. a lot actually.. so reconsider if you value your phone's looks :P

Ok cool so there showing a euro i9000. Can anyone confirm that gorilla glass is used on the captivate? I have not seen in any reviews that samsung is using this in any of there handsets. Its a selling point. Why would they leave this out?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Lots of discussions on this in other forums. Some people swear the phone doesn't have gorilla glass, some do. The vague press release (dated the 24th of august i think) says that Samsung uses Gorilla glass in the galaxy S handset - but it doesn't mention which ones. Engadget ran the story and claimed that all US Galaxy S varieties have gorilla glass. Corning mentions that is part of the AMOLED manufacturing process.

It seems that Gorilla glass is in the phones - it would not make sense to make different AMOLED sandwiches when they are so expensive to start with - but I would love to see something official that says "The Captivate uses Gorilla Glass".
[Captivate General] Smallsmx3:
I would like to see the same. I have a small scratch on my screen from being in my pocket. Its one of those scratches you cant see unless the light reflects off the screen just right and the screen off. I know its there but its not noticable. Plus i dont ever keep anything in my pocket where my phone is other than my phone. thats why im iffy about the captivate having gorilla glass.
[Captivate General] ricethief:
I got tired of having a screen protector and ripped mine off a week and a half ago. If the screen is not Gorilla Glass, its is still better than anything I have had on a phone a before.

The screen feels so much better.

[I wanted to post a link to my other post describing my experiences with Gorilla glass but I am not allowed to post a link, so I'll just repeat my message.]

Unfortunately I found out the hard way that Gorilla glass doesn't prevent scratches on the screen. The phone is only 2 months old, I am using it with a silicone skin and no screen-protector. The phone is always in my jeans-pocket, without anything else in it. And still there is a small scratch (2mm) and a dot...

I guess I have to go to screenprotectors. I cannot trust the claims of Samsung and Gorilla glass anymore. :-(

Hi there,

I'm the developer of the 'iMulator' application, which targets the Windows Mobile platform. In theory I could reach 100fps, but since most monitors / screens have a fixed refresh rate, it would be useless to actually run the 100fps. That is how I came to wonder wether the displays of Phones have a cirtain refresh rate.

My question; "What is the most common refresh rate of the display found on a (Windows Mobile) phone?"
