I check the forum but could not find an answer to my problem ,i am on virgin mobile and they charge me 30p a day if i go online ,but i also connect through a wireless router ,does my phone know how i am connecting ,will i get charged if i am using my own connection,i know that sounds daft as its only 30p but in this day and age every little really does count.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
If you are connected to your router you will be using it. Check icons on top bar to see whether you are connected to wifi or 3G etc

Also, try using software like NoData so you can disable device from connecting to 3G by using a toggle on/off button. Plenty of other similar apps about if you search ;)........some roms even come with these installed like NRG's ;)

How to create an intranet on Droid X or Android

Hi, I'm a newbie and hope this has not been asked before. I have transferred 20,000 + html files and some pdf files (consisting of primarily text) to my Droid X. They are stored in a folder on my SD card. I can locate the folder. However, all of the file managers require that the entire folder be read before I can even dream of opening one of the files in that folder for viewing.

After an interminable wait, I see all of the 20,000 plus files but cannot get to the one I want to open which links to the other files. In other words, I have 20,000 + files on my SD card that, effectively speaking, I can neither access nor view. This is a database of legal cases and statutes, etc. which I need for my work. I would love to be able to search for specific text as well but first things first. On my office and home computers, these files are conveniently linked by a html menu system (local html files) which permits easy and rapid access. I would like to re-create this menu system and the ease of use on my Droid X. Essentially, what I need is the ability to create a local intranet on my Droid X using one of the Droid browers (e.g. Dolphin, Opera, Galpagos, etc.)

I have tried the local webserver solution which is inadequate and too cumbersome. Obviously, the Android file managers are hopeless for this task.

If this problem cannot be solved, I am faced with two other undesirable situations. 1. I can

open an account on a cloud server and upload my files to it, which would probably permit me to access them by my Droid X the way that any web page on the Web can be accessed. The other solution is using a remote access type program to access my office or home computer to see the files. From previous experience with the latter option (using my office computer from my home computer), it is painfully slow. Since I have roughly 4 gigs of html data I want to access, I would prefer to avoid the (albeit minimal) expense of a subscription for use of a cloud.

Any advice which would permit me to quickly and efficiently access and view my html files on the Droid would be most appreciated. Free apps, if applicable, would be preferred, but I am getting desperate. I have tried webservers, eg I-Jetty, etc., and I have tried Astro File manager and similar apps. They do not even come close to what I want. I have learned that Android has forbidden this kind of access/viewing (the kind I need) due to security concerns.

Any apps? Any fixes? Workarounds?

Essentially, what I seek to do is transfer what is akin to an intranet on my office and home computers on my Droid X. Please offer any advice.

Thanks to one and all.

[Android Apps and Games] sfreemanoh:
Sounds like what you want is actually a web server app for Android. I did a quick Google, and it looks like there are some apps that can do that for you. So long as you don't open any ports on your phone, the site shouldn't be accessible from outside your phone (but I could be wrong about that).

First this is a patch and not a fix for real mac address.

I have added new cmdline parameter 'wifi.mac_address' which enables you to set any mac address of the wifi interface. So to set a different mac address you need to add new parameter to your startup.txt:

[STRIKE]set cmdline "wifi.mac_address=00:11:22:33:44:55"[/STRIKE]

I have attached zip file with new zImage and wifi modules for testing purposes. Kernel is based on hastarin sources from Mon Oct 18 17:30:15 2010.

Backup your settings before you test the new zimage and modules.

To discover your mac address in windows look in the following thread:

h__p://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=587705&highlight=mac+address

UPDATE: I have made a new patch for the same problem (new files attached). New kernel is based on hastarin sources from Tue Oct 26 22:18:43 2010.

Thanks to clio94 for showing me anther way to change mac address.

UPDATE2: Thanks to OSM for sharing his code for changing bluetooth mac address i have made new patch (and zImage for testing). I have added new parameter "bt.mac" for changing the bt mac address and renamed parameter for changing wifi mac address to "wif.mac" (because is simpler and parameter with the same name is used in michyprima r11 kernel). So for changing the mac address of wifi and bt cmdline looks like this:

set cmdline "bt.mac=00:11:22:33:44:55 wifi.mac=00:12:23:34:45:56"

If you are using desire HD builds and the patch it's not working you can try method described in:

Ho do you patch the 'patch file' within the zip file?

Thank you in advance.

:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] clio94:
You need to have kernel sources.You copy the patch in to kernel folder and you give

In desire hd build works only the first patch with "wifi.mac_address=00:11:22:33:44:55"

Τhe second version for some reason cannot change the wifi mac address.

Desire HD Builds workaround

Hi,

it seems that the Desire HD builds are using /etc/calibration instead of /proc/calibration file to get its params.

It could be that the module is loaded with module param nvram_path = /etc/calibration

in addition each time the wifi device is turned off/on, the calibration file is copied from /system/etc/calibration to /etc/calibration.

In case the MAC address param is fixed in the /system/etc/calibration every thing will work fine.

Possible fixes (as I see it, but not sure yet how to do it):

1. during system init, delete /system/etc/calibration and create a link to /proc/calibration.

1. during system init, edit the /system/etc/calibration and change the MAC address based on the cmdline.

hope this is helpful.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Thanks. I'd hit the button but on my phone atm

That will be very handy. I can modify my init.kernel.sh to also update /etc/calibration from /proc/calibration or the update script to delete the file and create a symlink.

I'll definitely sort something out before releasing my next kernel update.

Sent from my HTC HD2
[HD2 Android SD Development] OSM:
I think you should update the /system/etc/calibration, and not the /etc/calibration.

it seems that each time the wifi is enabled, the /system/etc/calibration is copied to the /etc/calibration.

ofcource you can simple copy the /proc/calibration to the /system/etc/calibration
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Thanks I've had a quick look and there are various differences between the proc and etc files, so I may start out by just updating the macaddr via the init script.
[HD2 Android SD Development] lpaggioli:
Solved problem.....

Tks for all......this solves my problem....even i reboot my phone.....i am using a desire hd2 (beta) rom......

Now, i have ALL working into a fast rom.....

Ps: i changed file /system/etc/calibration with my Mac address.....
[HD2 Android SD Development] solid.snake:
HI,

I just updated the "/system/etc/calibration " with the real mac address (conf. WinMo), and now, my Wifi doesn't even want to switch on...

May I know what did you do exactly ???

Don't know why , but my calibration file is empty for now,

Can anyone give me the content ot this file please, even the file ??
[HD2 Android SD Development] OSM:
can you try to :

1. Turn wifi off.

2. delete the /etc/calibration.

3. Copy the /proc/calibration to the /system/etc/calibration.

4. Turn the wifi on.
[HD2 Android SD Development] daysey:
Nice you got this working, but this is not working for me. Changed the mac address in the /system/etc/calibration file and rebooted. Wifi worked quite alright, but my mac was still the one in /proc/calibration. Tried changing the /proc/calibration mac address to the one I want but the file is not changed, I deleted it and it kept coming back.

What am I doing wrong?

[HD2 Android SD Development] Macelangelo77:
I'm using tytung's FRG83D v1.9a NAND build and am trying to use my real MAC address. I've read the thread, but there's something different about my build, compared to the HD builds.

I don't have /system/etc/calibration nor /etc/calibration. On my build it's located only on /proc/calibration, but I noticed the timestamp is changing continuously, so I'm hesitating to enter the real MAC address there.

Could anyone tell me whether I should edit it in /proc/calibration, or copy the file to (/system)/etc/calibration and create a symlink from /proc/calibration instead? Don't want to mess up my build :)

Sincerely,

Mac

I've changed the mac adress for MIUI 2.2.10 by connection via adb.

adb shell

vi /system/etc/calibration

change macaddr value.

vi /system/etc/init.d/01modules

add following line.

mount -o bind /system/etc/calibration /proc/calibration

Exit adb and reboot the phone.

exit
adb reboot
[HD2 Android SD Development] clio94:
your way works.I tried it in tytung ics v1.4 sd rom that im running via magldr and mac address changed successfully.But i had to made the changes in the phone.On the pc after giving the command vi /system/etc/calibration appears the contents of calibration file but i couldnt understand how to change the value.Same thing for 01modules so i add the line again from phone via root explorer.

I think that your post must be sticky if your way,works also for nand android roms

it works great for nand builds also.you are great :)

its also updated and ready to download at the developter tread

To be honest, unless you need to upgrade you might as well stick with XP.

It's got the better classic menu system, and the quicklaunch toolbar doesn't need a hack to work.

You can get aero snap and peek for XP now too.

It depends how you use it though. If you're more of a power user then XP is a hell of a lot easier, where as if you're just a home user then W7 is numptified for that target audience.

I use XP, Vista and W7, and to be honest I prefer XP and I hate to say it, Vista.

W7 has some nice features such as aero snap/peek but as I've mentioned they are now available on XP/Vista.

I hate the numpty menu system where it's quicker to type the name of the program rather than click on it (it now takes more clicks to start programs with W7 anyway) and you can't arrange things how you like.

Getting to network properties with W7 is a PITA, not much of an issue for home users, but working in support at users' sites we need to be able to easily change our network settings.

Having to "force shutdown" programs when I want to turn the computer off has gotten old very fast!

The removal of "All Users" from the user profiles folder is also frustrating.

Still, it's got less bloat than vista, so chances are it'll run faster, and in many cases faster than XP.

[Off-topic] the_scotsman:
N8er summed it up pretty well.

XP is an old redundant operating system. For one thing, XP is FAR less secure than 7.

7 is functionally superior...it's more productive and user friendly, while at the same time being much more powerful for "power users".

Those saying it's been "numptified" obviously dont use any of the "non-numpty" features ;)

Only my opinion, the opinion of an IT Sys Admin (plus a member of the Microsoft technical beta test team for Windows 7).

My advice to the OP...going to 7 is the only way to go...just make sure your hardware is capable.
[Off-topic] N8ter:
Another thing.

Even Microsoft is dropping support for XP in it's client applications.

Windows Live Essentials 2011 doesn't support Windows XP. Windows Live Movie Maker never supported XP (it's different/better than Windows Movie Maker in XP/Vista). Don't expect the next version of Office to support XP. IE9 is not being released on Windows XP, and if you're used the beta, you'd know that once it's released there will be no reason to install a third-party browser on Windows unless you're an add-on'aholic.

Lots of Graphics/Audio/Video Applications will began to drop XP due to the lack of APIs from Windows 7/Vista that were backported. Lots of hardware will start to drop support for XP once its extended support runs out.

On top of that, Windows 7 Pro/Ultimate has Windows XP Mode which allows you to run XP/XP Apps seamlessly on top of Windows 7 for compatibility reasons.

Windows XP is a dead end. It's time to move on. Better than Linux. Worse than Vista/7 by a long shot.

EDIT: Also, if you're a developer you're not doing yourself any favors by running XP as your main OS, instead of just in a VM or on an older machine for testing.

WPF applications get no hardware accelleration on Windows XP, so they run like crap as well. That includes quite a few newer applications that use it in some form or another in the UI layer.

For those of us who don't play games or work in an office with other (bad) Windows users, what do either of those matter? What are the TRUE benefits of Exchange vs POP3 or IMAP? Excluding things that haven't already been implemented in other email clients. Such as; online email clients, phone sync, contacts/calendar sync, and data backup. Sure, their implementation doesn't follow the POP3 standards(as there are none defined for those features) but the functionality is there and usable. What's wrong with the Linux sound drivers? What graphics drivers are you referring to, you can get proprietary drivers for almost all video cards now?

I personally like the rather minimalist look of an OpenBox setup with a custom, ORGANIZED menu.

In all my experiences with Macs they have been rather unreliable, sluggish pieces of crap.

The final, indisputable, ground-breaking, wonderful thing about Linux distributions is, THEY'RE FREE! Why would you pay for an operating system when you can get one with equal potential for FREE. The only reason "Windows is better than Linux" is because Windows currently holds more of the market share and has dedicated teams of programmers getting paid to develop more new and exciting features. If everyone used Linux distributions all games would be written for Linux, all drivers would be written for Linux, all programs would be written for Linux. But, as we both know that's not the case and it probably will never be so until then I feel this argument can only be left off with the simple conclusion that neither of these operating systems are "better", but rather, one holds a larger share of market.
