hi everybody,
I had a problem with WiFi (in AP4 ROM), and I followed this guide, (title: AP4 WIFI doesnt start)in which I have to input the MAC address. I didn't how to get that MAC address , so I get from my Laptop MAC address which changed only one number . So my wifi is ok.
But as I understand that my current MAC address in x7500 is not the default number. So could anybody have the solution how to get back the MAC address for my x7500 (T-Mobile Ameo) device ?
Thank you so much,
Thomas Tan.

try checking the log on your wireless router if it is not recorded under the battery cover of your ppc

I dont' find the number Mac under the battery cover. I have only the number IMEI, the number P/N and the number S/N.
Could you send me the picture of Mac, please?

I saw that you already looked in the router to see if it was remembered.
You can just make one up.
try a real mac address from one of your other gadgets and change one of the digits

Hi all,
I usually use stock rom but i decided to try this one :
MindCr Rom V2.8 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1925850
Everything was fine ... then i noticed that my mac adress changes everytime i restart my Android !
The problem is my network is secure with filtering mac
Any idea ? I wonder how is that possible ...
Wait what? To my knowledge MAC addresses are something a company has to buy to implemented it in each network card unit. They are in other words not dynamic. Are you maybe referring to IP-address?

Im computer scientist so i was worried too about this. IP-adress is not changing : i cant connect to my network so i dont have one.
Fact is, this ROM is changing my MAC adress every time, even if i know it's very weird.
Trying to find another ROM ... : (
you guys are wrong, you can change your mac adress, but regarding to your issue i dont know what might be causing that.

Don't think that is true. You can spoof it but that is not permanent, and I have no idea why the rom would have the functionality to spoof ones mac address. Maybe you could try to spoof your mac into one of the mac-addresses that are accepted. Did a quick google search and you don't seem to be the only one, do some reading and you might find something.

Thanks you all !
But i finnaly dropped my phone and broke the screen lol ... si i dont care about a nice rom now ^_^
At least, I learned that it's possible to change the mac adress on Android
You can change your mac address by changing it in the files :
/system/etc/wifi/nvram.txt
/system/etc/wifi/nvram_mfg.txt
With these files changed when you activate wifi for the first time it will create a new file in internal memory with that mac address : /data/.mac.info
If that file already exists the wifi will use the mac address contained in it.
When changing only .mac.info with another address it would be temporary and will be reset after a factory reset.

I am sorry to let you know that you purchased a FAKE phone.
Interesting thing about MAC address to know:
00:08:22 - (the first 6 characters) is the Producers ID , it is unique to the producing company
xx:xx:xx - (the last 6 characters) is the Unique ID (or it should be).
If you type in Google "MAC address 00:08:22" you will find out that your device was made by InproCom , whereas at original Samsung it will Say "Samsung".
I found out this on the hard way, because my girlfriend bought a FAKE samsung Galaxy S3 Mini from Amazon.
I have the same problem, mine is a tablet, and every time i connect it to my wifi connection, the Mac Address is changing like if is dinamic IP. How can be possible this??? Is there a solution to have a static Mac Address???
Thank you!!!
Hello every one, a while a go a start a new thread about my wifi problem, I've been trying with several roms and nothig today I put the official one and the wireless does not work, I just discovered that my wireless mac address is 00:00:00:00:00:00 maybe that is the reason why I cant use my Wifi, does any one know how to fix this!!!!
thank you very for your time and support!!!!
Hey guys,
My Father changed something in the router settings yesterday which blocked only me and my brother from connecting to the Wifi.
Anyone else can connect normally and gain Internet access. It is a password protected access point but I have the password and I entered it correctly and it connected but it says "Authentication error occurred".
Does anyone have an idea of what he blocked? Mac address? IP? what? and how can I change it?
Thanks in advance!

Mac address definitely. I would also offer he reserved IP addresses to certain Mac adds & limited number of ip address (i.e., 2 or 3 vs 255). Can you get local access & then access router w/its id name & password?

I have only once changed Mac add & that was inadvertantly & rooted. Don't know if Mac add can be changed w/o root. IP address theory might be tested using a VPN app (may still need connection) or app such as Hide My Ass.
Good luck.
Edit: Now that I think about it, you can't test IP theory w/o outside connection. Sorry.
