Hi All.
I am new to Android! And, is very excited!
My Atrix 4G is on UPS truck I have been looking at other people's experience and did not see any mention of WPA2-Enterprise. My friend (already uses Android 2.2) said there are some issues with Android 2.2 and WPA2 Enterprise.
Has anyone tried connecting to a WPA2-Enterprise WiFi network?
Waiting eagerly to unbox my first Android
I am using WPA-2 Enterprise and it works OK. It has all the same connection options as my previous Vibrant had!
I just tested it at my company, they're using 802.1x EAP though, not sure how different that is from enterprise WPA2.
I had to input a username/password prior to connecting - it all worked fine.
a huge plus with Motoblur is that it supports all the required exchange policies that stock android does not... No longer have to use Touchdown Exchange
Thanks!

Thanks a lot! Basically WPA2-Enterprise is the certification program, whereas IEEE 802.1x is the standard. There are a number of variations of EAP that are supported in WPA2 Enterprise certification.
I will try my luck when I get my device and will update with my school network details.
I am connected to a wpa2-enterprise network and everythings working fine!
Hi guys.
Here is update:
Connects fine with 802.1x rap. Problem is in hand off. As I move from ap to ap. It does not reconnect automatically. I have to turn off an on the wifi radio.
Anyone else having same issue? If yes is there a solution?

In my case I have to set the Phase 2 authentication to MSCHAPV2 so when I move from AP to AP it stays connected.
Thanks

Thanks mp2ning. I will try that out on Monday and see if that helps.
I tried the solution told by mp2ning and it works most of the time.

Any one found a good internet tethering app? It can be wireless or usb, both would be good. I'm rooted. I've seena few apis on the market but wondered if anyone had a good one they would recommend

i have only use Barnacle, free from market... that works
not tested it extensively though
Thanks, I'll check it out
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Yeah Barnacle works. I tried a few others which didn't. On my 2.1 streak many reported no netfilter in the kernel and wouldn't run, but Barnacle worked fine.
Many thanks I checked it out. Unfortunately it does not do usb. I have pcs without wireless.
Don't want to use PDAnet, I might get a bluetooth dongle and use the barnacle app.

Get a wifi dongle, faster, more reliable, and can be had for about $10 (USD) if you poke around.
And +1 for Barnacle Legacy wifi - works great, perfect price!
any word on a usb tethering application yet?
I've tried the few that I worked with before and they all claim that there is no kernel support. Barnacle works great for wifi, but I tether my laptop from work and since I can't turn off SSID broadcast I would rather not have network security poking around asking where a rogue WAP came from.
Thanks ahead of time.
Running 2.1
build: 6941
I am using EasyTether right now while I am waiting for my home internet to be connected. Ive managed to get through many Gb of data (sorry phone provider). It is free but if you dont pay for it then you wont be able to access https:// sites after a while.
The easy tether is usb, I think

Would Barnacle allow the streak to connect to a home network? I've tried to use it but it only seems to use WEP encryption and I'd need it to use WPA.

Barnacle is for sharing your 3G connection over wifi, not connecting to wifi. The Streak should connect to your wifi with wpa just fine.
Barnacle seems to be blocked by AT&T so I can't get to in through the app store. Anyone have a link directly to the sdk??
http://github.com/szym/barnacle/downloads found it here!

Yes the Streak connects to the router but I wanted to be able to access the nas on my home network from the Streak, hoped Barnacle would facilitate that.
Thanks for the link! Was wondering why I could not find it...
Which version of Barnacle is recommended? There are two files there. And does one need root for this to work?
Thanks!
Bbarnacle does require your phone to be rooted. The two files might be two different update versions or for different android OS's (1.6, 2.1, etc.)
Barnacle providing only local access. aka no internet
Can someone help me to get my barnacle app working? I have a rooted Dell Streak running 1.6 US. The app connects to my laptop fine but it only allows local access. I tried looking through the FAQ and settings in the app but I can't find anything that would fix the issue.
Thanks!

Hi all, this issue is driving me to distraction! I've changed my internet service provider and they have sent out a new router (d-link DSL- 2680) to use and since hooking everything up my Hero no longer recognizes the router i.e. I will do a wifi scan and it will display a list of all the other routers within range but my new router will not appear on the list?! So frustrating as I use my Hero as my main internet connected devise at home! Any suggestions or help would be welcome! Thankyou!

hi, did you fix this? i have the same problem

Maby your router isnt broadcasting it's SSID ??
Hello!
I'm new here as u can see. But It's funny that I got the same router DSL- 2680 with the same issue.. My Hero is running SHPONGLE v3.6 (what a great rom!) :good:
I have three laptops which are using this router with no problems at all. Hero just doesn't like the DSL?
Problem solved
What I did: Went to routers setup. --> Wi-Fi Protected setup --> tick off Enable
It's working great now. I hope this helps u a bit, stevieg73.
Hey everyone, just wanted to let you rooted android users out there know that you can tether to your touchpad pretty easily.
Go download the newest version of wifi tether 3.1beta5
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Install it
Run it
Menu-Settings
Change Device-Profile
Select Samsung Fascinate
Change Setup-Method
Select Softap for Samsung (Master)
Back to main screen
And now you are good to go. I have used this on my fascinate running the community rom, also read that someone had it running on their charge as well.
Have fun tethering.
Post back if this does or doesn't work for you, what device, and what rom/kernal you are running.
MOD EDIT (LP): There is another guide here by danalo1979
[HELP] Touchpad won't recognize my Android Hotspot
I just finished checking, and while my android tablet recognizes and connects to my android cellphone tethering, my hp touchpad doesnt even see it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have no idea because I did not have a problem doing this on an evo

Get the beta tethered wifi app. The standard one from the market doesn't work with it. I think it can't connect to ad hoc routers our something.

I cannot seem to connect Touchpad to any adhoc WiFi network. Really would like a fix for this one. iPads and iPhones connect to adhoc networks just fine.
I would manually enter the ssid, broadcast id, network id and ip address and forget dealing with dhcp if it's not working
maybe reboot? Mine works flawlessly on my android and touchpad
From what Im gathering, my HTC hero uses ad-hoc and the touchpad doesnt pick that up. Shame, but I have a feeling Im SOL.
Try turning off all the security settings etc...

wifi tether 3.1 beta 2. Select epic 4g under device profile in settings. Worked fine for me last night when I tried it. Took a little to configure and started with errors but I just restarted it and it was good.

Some android phones can only broadcast wifi via adhoc mode which is incompatible with the touchpad. Its not a matter of what program you choose, if your phone can only do ad-hoc wifi then it wont work. Try using bluetooth (Wireless Tether 2.0.7)

Any idea what version to use for the photon? I tried this one and I just get errors. Thanks
Wifi tethering the touchpad works great using my HTC incredible (running CM7). Must be the ad-hoc issue others have mentioned.
i had issues getting my tp to connect to the wireless hotspot from my desire s.
as soon as i changed the security type from wpa2 to wpa it started working.

The reason for that might be that they are two different standards of encryption, lollol, neither is backward/forward compatible with the other

yes i know that. i'm not a dickhead.
the TP is supposed to support WPA2, however it had issues with WPA2 on my desire s.
This does not work for me Either-it keeps saying 'Tethering but with Errors-see Log' and the log cannot load the Sofap part...
I have a feeling some phones can only broudcast WiFi in Ad-Hoc-Like my HTC HERO It may be time to say goodbye to it after all...I was actually hoping the TouchPad would mean i dont need a new phone as most of my stuff (good Flash Web Browser/Email/Games/Whatsapp/Facebook) would be sorted between the two devices....Oh well....
I believe the easiest way to tether from your rooted Android to the Touchpad is if you're running CM7, to use the built in wi-fi tether as it works flawlessly!
i dont see this option for fascinate
Select Softap for Samsung (Master)
i only see WEXT (ad-hoc)
Hi All,
I have a very odd issue.
My phone can connect to my wifi router no issues. When it first connects it will browse and receive services from the internet no issues. However, after maybe 1-2 minutes all internet service requests die, the phone is still connected to the router as the wifi signal is there and strong.
I have tried changing the security on the router, updating the kernel / rom and i still encounter the same issue. I'm convinced this is a small bug.
If anyone has come across this please let me know how you dealt with it.
Thanks in advance
are you on stock ROM/kernel? Does it happen after you turn your screen off and back on?
Had same problem, router issue something about firewall, had to manually enter phone's Mac address into router

Have now lowered security level on router after reading some posts, now just doing tests.

I've reserved the address on the router that includes the MAC
Seems as though security setting above WEP e.g. WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK/WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] causes the issue.
Anybody know of a fix for this?

I am staying in a hotel abroad and have purchased some logon details for the hotel's wireless internet for my stay. However, whilst I can connect with my laptop, my S3 lists the network as 'disabled'. Wifi is on, and not set to sleep or anything like that. When I click on the network, it (very) briefly says 'saved' and then returns to 'disabled'. I have not even had the chance to enter my logon credentials, so that cannot be the problem. I have also tried to 'forget' the network and re-connect, but there is still no option to enter my credentials and connect on my S3.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Try changing your phone's mac address to your laptop's mac address.
Most services use this to authenticate devices.

If that doesn't work you could ask them for a new code and see if that will work with your phone. Or ask to see their network support staff (if the network is managed in-house).
