Using XDA as modem -- GPRS modem? - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Hi,
I was reading about "using XDA as a modem" at this url:
http://xda-developers.com/modem/
Question -- in this setup, can you use the XDA as GPRS modem?
Or do you have to do a voice call and run data at 9,600 bps?
Will there ever be a driver to use XDA as GPRS modem like other GPRS phones?

Probably, although we haven't expermented beyond regular data calls. If you use the proper AT commands to tell the phone about your network, access point name and such, it should all work.

Who knows... A lot depends on whether we get an easy way to talk to the modem directly on the device.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S II WiFi pass bypass?

Is there any hack/tweak or app for bypassing the WPA/WPA2 passwords when you want to connect trough secured WiFi?
Thanks in advance!

lol, what do you think yourself.. Now wouldn't that nullify the whole purpose of wireless security?

Your easy method is not to have security on your router .
Unless you where looking to steal wifi .

Sooo, I guess not, there isn't any tethers.
yes, it wil be app that you can develop and sale for million of million profile.

Really? .. really? No, really!? You serious? Ok than it's really ...
Are you saying that you want to be able to connect to any wifi access point, without having to enter the password?
Is it your wifi, or someone else's?
Before flaming xeuronix completely: there are apps for jailbroken iPhones that can calculate securitykeys automatically for several badly-configured wireless routers (they have a default key that is generated by parsing the serialnumber of the router through a formula... And then use the serial as SSID...)

To the OP... no you cannot connect to a secure wifi...if you dont know the password...
regarding jailbroken iphones or any other device...
the SSID of the router is just the wireless ID which can be set to be broadcast or be hidden...that doesnt get you anywhere...
one has to know the password period
another point is that be it an iphone or a high spec gaming rig...the way it will talk to the router will be same...same protocols..same encryption algorithm...

Not going to happen (easily).
You could use a packet-sniffer to grab the keys but that's not going to happen on your phone (as far as I know, no one's ported the linux app over?)

Yep... And what I ment: some providers were dumb enough to let their fully equiped routers use a key that is based on the unique SSID of the router: faulty design, rendering wifinetworks that use default settings at risk for attacks...
Someone already made an app for jailbroken devices to automate the process of using this exploit.
Hence the question of Xeuronix is not so dumb after all: seems logical for such app to exist on android and not on iOS, instead of viceversa.

Finally someone talking sense in this forum. Thanks dude.
There are 2 programs that provide you with default passwords of specific routers like Thomson, Speedtouch and some others. The first one is called Penetrate and the other one is called Router Keygen. If you want to sniff data and eventually get a WEP key then you will nedd Backtrack which has been ported on Android but without the sniffing tools yet. And the phone's wifi adapter has to support sniffing
Free WiFi access? Hmmm......that would be nice! If there is such a program which works on SGS II, then I think there would be many takers for it
yes this would be great. then you could hack the planet. ...

Hsdpa/3g switching issues

First off phone is stock and un rooted.
My issue is that the phone will switch to 3g or E so much and then often not switch to H when I use an app requiring Internet so the app won't load anything. Anyone else have these issues or is there a fix? I'm in Australia btw.

If your phone is unrooted, there are limited things you can do to solve it. If it is rooted, you can actually try to flash different modems for your phone and see which one works best for you or just find out from this forum what modem is best for your carrier.

Sorry, I have looked around and you can actually flash modem through Odin if your phone is unrooted.
Oh really?? Thanks for letting me know, I haven't messed with flashing before so I doubt I will now haha i might wait for official updates...

Most official modems for my region are terrible, I'll bet your's aren't better. Asian modems have a far greater stability, especially the DXLF3 modem.
You can't do anything wrong when flashing a modem. Just get Odin, head to the modem collection thread, pick your modem and flash away.

Sounds like antenna ping-pong. Basically that means that your carrier keeps moving you from one antenna to the other.
Alternatively, check if you have any Proxy configured in the APN settings as slow proxies can cause the same issue: go to Settings->More->Mobile network->Access point names, choose the one reading 'internet' (or something like that)
Check if any Proxy server IP is filled in. If yes, write it down and delete it from the profile. If Internet doesn't work, reconfigure it.
If it's better, congrats
Oh really! I didn't realise the Asian modems would work well in Australia thought they would be specific to region, obviously not! I will try the flash if nothing else works..
I checked in the settings like u asked but there is nothing under proxy? Should here be an ip is that the possible problem?

Wcdma only still switches between 3g and H, trying it now. So it wouldn't make a difference would it?

there is still difference in term of speed between 3g and H. if you want consistent H+, change modem to BWLE5, if you not in LFB based rom.

with this modem, your phone will go straight from 3g to H+, it doesn't even know H anymore. lol. try it to feel the drain on your own.
I had the same problem with lfb modem on stock lfb rom. I fixed it by flashing lf2 modem.
Try it. If it doesn't work flash back the modem you had before.

LF2 is older than LFB. Are you sure voice calls still work?
I still recommend DXLF3 modem ^^

Virus?? ..android_secure.img

I got a problem:
I installed H1 modem a while ago and signal got worse and worse every day till now. Now it doesn't even find my home network at all. my old galaxy s2 finds it though. And when i restore a former backup which schould have a different modem within cwm says:
restoring data....android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of android_secure.
Could this be a virus??
Greetz
No its not a virus, and a cwm backup doesn't backup your modem.
Flash a new one via Odin.

What do mean by that? Your home has different network?
If mobile network working fine outside your home, then is not your phone fault. Try contact your carrier.

Sorry with home network i meant my home carrier (like T- Mobile e.g.)
I tried that already with different modems which have been in use already. -> same Problem- phone finds differnent carrier networks but not my network.
hardwareproblem i can not imagine because it finds other networks. SIM card also works correct (i finds my network in other phones).
One thing that could be problem theoretically: I cut my Sim Card myself from mini sim to micro sim but till now i had no problems what makes me think it cant be my problem...
Ideas?

Often happens with cut Sims, they work to start with then stop, which network/country are you?

If you are using a 64kb SIM it tends to happen. Probably its aged and if you did cut it you might have as well damaged the SIM's core.
I'd suggest to get a replacement SIM from your carrier, preferably a Micro SIM and see if that helps.

This...and if the OP has an at&t phone unlocked to use on t-mobile's network (guessin, since no info given by the op), he will only get the 2g --- that is, unless t mobile converts their 1900 mhz frequency in his area to be a 3g/4g freq instead of edge...as they have done this in other areas.

［Q］Help, Data network isn't fully operational

Symptoms:
Wi-Fi works all fine, both 2g and 3g (EDGE, HSDPA and HSPA+) only partially working, let's say, some of my apps were able to work as they need internet, and some of them always report "can't connect to server " or something like that.
What I have done intent to solve this problem: fully wipe and flash ROM, I tried lots of them, all same results.
Flash different modem and radio, still same.
Conclusion: I was thinking could be problem of operator but I have ask some friends who uses same operator and same area, they don't have problem, I even flash the same ROM and radio exactly same as one of them who owns S3 as well, still no good...
Anything more I can do?

Usual is
Network ask.
Sim Card replace
Modem correct one for network
CSC again correct one for network .

Also, check your APN settings are right and up to date for your network. Presume you have already reverted to fully stock to test?
