[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CurlyCoconutTree:
My buddy's HTC Eris cannot connect to our work WIFI.

His Phone: Gingerbread 1.6RC1

Our network: Hidden SSID WPA2+TKIP+AES

Before you ask, yes, I've entered in the SSID and Password manually.

I've tried Hidden SSID enabler, I've tried setting the IP to static... no dice. No one seems to have a solution or a reason why this happens. The best advice they give is to unhide the SSID. While I agree, I can't, because this is a work WiFi network. Not my router, not my policy.

Does anyone know if there's a radio update for the WiFi or a way to get it working? I thought the custom rom would fix it, but it doesn't. The LG Swift and Moto Droid both connect, no problems.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
I've helped others with issues like this for the Eris and usually turning off TKIP solves the problem. For some reason, TKIP causes issues, and though you'd think that having AES as well would fix that, it may be that the Eris tries to use the "easy" method of TKIP and then fails.

That said, TKIP and WPA2 means that it is not exactly following the standard - I think that WPA2 is supposed to use CCMP/AES only. (It's actually a sort-of misnomer to say TKIP vs. AES - TKIP is to CCMP as RC4 is to AES. Or, in other words, TKIP uses RC4 as a cypher, while CCMP use AES.)

Anyway, the other possible issue is that the Eris is b/g only - if that router is a or n only, the Eris will not work.

It seems rather silly these days to be using SSIP hiding with WPA2 - anybody who wants to break in will get around SSID hiding easily, but will only get around WPA2 through brute-force cracking, and WPA2 will keep casual drive-by people out anyway - but, as you say, it's not your router. I'm not sure if you'll have any luck getting the folks who run it to change it to CCMP/AES only if you can't get them to unhide the SSID.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
What doogald told you is spot on.

The only thing that I can add to what he said is that - unfortunately - it is quite typical with WiFi to run into interop problems when mixing gear from different vendors. That's not supposed to happen - but it in fact it happens all the time.

I ran into a case where Eris successfully negotiated an association with a older WiFi router (with AES+TKIP+WPA2), got an IP via DHCP from the AP.... and then was completely unable to communicate via IP - not even a ping. This particular problem was solved by updating the router firmware to a newer version.

I have beacons supressed on my WiFi router (although I completely agree with doogald that it provides NO extra security, despite popular misconceptions to the contrary), and sometimes my WiFi connection does not come up straight away - sometimes using the WiFi Scanner app (by farproc) seems to do something to kickstart the association/authentication. (The other thing you might give a try is this - if the PSK is a series of hex characters, check to see that it is not a simple matter of the case of the a-f characters being wrong. iirc, WPA2 uses string values rather than hex, so case sensitivity can pop up from time to time if network admins had a past history of using hex strings for WEP)

Usually, fixing a problem like this is a matter of trial and error; you try and eliminate or change one behavior at a time until something changes. (e.g. the B/G/N multi-mode behaviors, or turning beacons back on.) Generally, because there are more knobs to turn on the WiFi router, that's the place to start.

If you are in a position where the WiFi router can not be touched - well, you might be SOL, as there's precious little you can easily tweak on the Eris**

bftb0

**PS I suppose that it is possible that if we are talking about a rooted phone, you could dig in to configuration options for the "wpa_supplicant" process on the Eris - "wpa_supplicant" is based off of open source code, so perhaps a configuration file could - if nothing else - encourage it to be a little more verbose so you can detect what the error is.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
I hate to go a little off-topic, but this happens to me with Froyo and GB ROMs (not with the Eclair ROMs), and I am not hiding the SSID. I actually think it has more to do with the kernel (Conap's CFS or BFS vs. Zanfur) than it does the Android version, though I could be wrong about that.

Anyway, here is what I noticed: in 2.2 or 2.3, if I turn on the WiFi radio using a widget, or just a setting toggle in an app like Quick Settings, it takes about 5-10 minutes before it finally connects to the access point. However, if I follow the settings->wireless & networks and then check WiFi to enable it, it will make the connection in a matter of seconds - every time; it's 100% repeatable. With a 2.1 ROM running Zanfur, no matter how I turn on WiFi, it reconnects every time within seconds.

I've tried looking at logs but I haven't seen anything obvious to suggest that there is some issue.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
This is just a question for you two or anyone else who knows. Has there ever been a reported problem with anyone's Eris WIFI when using JIT? I'm just grasping at straws here.

Also, thanks doogald for the information regarding TKIP and AES. I don't recall if I ever researched this stuff before, but if I had, evidently it hadn't sunk in. I'm sure I could've found the information if it was actually important enough for me to, but I have often wondered about some of the "options" available in setting up wireless networks.

In case you don't already know this, a long time ago I learned that differen't widgets ways of toggling things like 3G and WIFI may differ slightly, and some widgets methods may cause problems or delays where other widgets with different methods may work without any trouble. I use the EasySwitch app myself, I actually paid for it. I would suggest at least trying the trial version and see if that helps any.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
You're very welcome.

Thanks for the suggestion, and I will try it just to see. I do know that the Cyanogen notification bar widget, plus the Android standard Power Control Widget, has this issue with all of the Froyo and GB ROMs that I have tried, and I think I even had this issue when I installed Conap's BFS or CFS on xtrROM as well. Again, it doesn't happen with the Zanfur kernel in a standard 2.1 Eris ROM that you'll find here.

What I like about Quick Settings (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bwx.bequick&feature=search_result) allows you to tap the WiFi wording (not where it has an on/off toggle button, but anywhere else on that line) it will bring you to settings->Wireless & Networks directly. Nice little app.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Sorry, I forgot about this with my last post.

I tend to doubt that JIT would have anything to do with WiFi issue. If I am not mistaken, the JIT that we are talking about is just in time compiling for the Dalvik virtual machine, and I am fairly certain that WiFi operations are handled by Linux on the phone, not by Dalvik. Perhaps I am wrong about that, though.

That said, I ran GSB for a day or so before I realized that JIT was turned off by default, and it had that same issue with delayed connection. It's actually one of the first things I test with a new ROM...

And I am also pretty sure that I have seen issues with people whose router was set to TKIP (it's usually WPA rather than WPA2, where TKIP is more likely than WPA2) with stock Eris (and the Hero, I might add), which, of course, is not JIT.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
As it turns out, EasySwitch Trial is set to run up to 2.2 only. It doesn't show up in the market on 2.3, and it wasn't until I went to market.android.com that I learned that it's not compatible with my GB device.

I will try it the next time I go back to Froyo, though.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Oh yeah, I remember Quick Settings. I used to use that a lot for the first few months I had my Eris (I had rooted immediately), before I went to EasySwitch.

I see. Thanks for your informed opinion!

Ah! Well, that is a bummer. Although, actually, I wasn't using EasySwitch under CM6 since it had the notification bar widgets. Does CM7 have those yet? That would probably be a deal breaker for me until I could at least use one of those under GB, which I haven't tried yet.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Yep, CM7 sure does have those.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Oh, good. :) I'm not positive if I'll try a CM7 build until a final release or not, anyway. Thanks for the info.

Hi all,

well my problem is the following, I was using my HTC DHD normally, like similar days. But suddenly my CPU frequency was running 100 % all time. I was reading the forum war the answer. I found it. Thanks a lot!

But now if I get a missed call, my screen won't turn off, and the small diod won't flash to signalise the missed call. And my CPU frequency is still running a little bit wierd, sometimes i'm just reading a loaded page and it is on 100 %.

What could be the problem? :S :(

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave2312:
Hi all,

I'm sorry if this has already been discussed, I did search before typing this post.

Basically I was wondering firstly if there is any way to encrypt the mobile tracker text file located in "data/system/Mobiletracker.txt"

This file can be easily accessed and isn't encrypted, it displays your mobile tracker passcode in the text document, therefore if this is read before I can lock the phone if it is lost or stolen then they could of simply wrote the code down and just unlock the phone.

Secondly, I think I read about this before but can't find it again, is there a way to protect the recovery mode with a password? Let's say kind of like a bios password for your phone, this way if phone is lost or stolen, if my phone is already locked via mobile tracker, they wouldn't then be able to just flash a new rom as it would clear any protection. (I've seen the application "theft aware" which is supposed to be flash proof, but I tried it and it stays installed after a flash but doesn't run :/

Finally third, is there a way to stop the power button functioning when the phone is locked, I use the pattern lock and if you hold the power button it brings up the power options, now with me using darkys rom, it has recovery mode on the list, meaning if they didn't have a huge experience with android but found my phone they would discover it's recovery menu and be able to format it through the recovery menu.

I know I'll get the odd response of don't lose your phone, or don't be soo paranoid, but this can happen and I don't want anyone who finds it or steals it to have the privilege of being able to use this beast of a phone :)

Thanks in advance,

Dave

It hides it. The folder can't be accessed from the gallery app, and it's hidden in the file manager until you check "show hidden files".

shady SMS

it overrides all the sms system while letting everything like it should be ....

but it create a secret contact list and text or call from the people in that list get intercepted by shadysms .... call still go through though ... but the call history will not show it!

you can access your secret SMS from your hidden contact list by dialing "123" on the dialer =)

there is no icon of this app... can only be access by dialing "123" or whatever you set to after....

best app to keep your girlfriend ;)
[Android Apps and Games] VegasEvo4G:
I tried Shady but I ended up going with My Calculator. Its actually called My Private Messages but everywhere (from the Market to your downloaded app list) it is reffered to as My Calculator as to not attract any wandering eyes. The app is nothing fancy from a UI perspective, but as far as keeping incoming and outgoing texts from others, this thing rocks.

It is a calculator that functions as a normal calculator until you type in your passcode followed by "+,=". It then takes you to a hidden inbox where messages from your selected contacts will land when they text you. You will know you have received a new text when a notification of your choice pops up in your status bar. I use the default one which reads something like, "A wireless network was found".

If you are looking for simple, tried, and true with out anything flashy, check this thing out.
[Android Apps and Games] digo21:
One addition I would say would be useful is the ability to send all messages from unknown senders who arnt on your contact list to the hidden messages box, that way if you ever get a random text it would go straight there. Or has this already been done.
[Android Apps and Games] ok2nvme:
Does anyone use a Photo/Video vault that leaves the files it hides in basically the same location?

My external SD is bigger than my internal one. HideIt Pro would be just the ticket if it didn't insist on transferring my videos from the external to the internal SD when it hides them.

Encryption is preferable but not necessary. I just don't want one like GalleryLock that basically just changes the directory/file extension without even altering the filename.

I may have to go back to using my old two-app combo of Photo Vault & Video Vault, but I hate their UIs.

[Android Software Development] Olli24689:
Hello dear community!

Our CM7 stands in the wings and most of us are reporting bugs to CyanogenMod.

But apart from the bugs, there are other things that could be improved.

I noticed for example in the SMS app, that there is no way to force the line break through the return key has been replaced by the key for emoticons.

Okay, what's the problem, are now some thinking.

You can use a different keyboard or simply another SMS app such as handcent. Well, would not be a problem, but honestly - who would not like to have everything from one source?

I'm really pleased so far with CM7, the stock keyboard is better than Swiftkey or Smart Keyboard Pro and i like the stock SMS-App much more than other alternatives from the market.

Here my request to you:

Issue 2898 - CyanogenMod - Enhancement: Swap Smilie-/Returnkey in Stock Messaging App - Project Hosting on Google Code

Give the project a star, if you also like to have the line break back and if not, still give the star that does not hurt you and increases the chance that the project is implemented.

The whole was unfortunately already tried, but it has been there for more than 8 months and only 3 people starred this. I hope this time on more resonance, especially by the large community here. This is why i've opened this thread.

With best regards

Olli
