Where to set "Use static IP" with Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 that comes with Android 3?
I believe older android devices had that option in settings->Wifi Settings->advance->Checkbox for "Use Static IP". I no more see it with Android 3 in Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Can someone help?
Thanks!
i was wondering about this too. Can't find it anywhere.
i just cancelled the password of the AP,tried connecting again,then i saw the option of setting static IP.
it's not the best solution though...
How about VPN setup support? I use one of the VPN services to access the likes of HULU or BBC. Will I be able to do it on Android 3.x?

Yes, the usual VPN settings section is there, with the same options as on my Nexus One:
PPTP
L2TP
L2TP/IPSec PSK
L2TP/IPSec CRT
Will I be forced to enter VPN password every time I want to connect or will "it" remember?
Hi to you all. I picked up the tab 10.1 today and I need to allocate a static address to this device. iAndroidFan posted a workaround of some kind but I can't replicate it. Can someone possibly post a step by step instruction to perform this simple(?) task.
thanks in advance
Rob

PS: I don't own an android device yet, just googled...
Go to Wifi setting and where you connected to the address. Press and hold your network...modify and choose satatic ip

Galaxy tab 10.1 static IP
Getting closer! Thanks to the previous 2 posters. I can now access the menu and change IP to static, set DNS etc but I can't save these changes. When I hit <save> it simply reverts to DHCP.
What am I doing wrong here?

It sounds to me like you're hitting a bug...
maybe someone with the same device/release can perform a similar test
Setting a static IP...Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7510UEKF3)...Android 3.1 Kernel 2.6.36.3..
Try going to Settings\Wi Fi Settings\, wait util you network shows up, long press it until you get a new option to Modify Config (be patient)...scroll down (this is what got me banging my head for two days) ans change settings to static
or Google Xoom forums and in that search for 5382 :how to manually assign ip address)

Did you ever get a response to this or ever figure it out?! I am having major issues with intermittent wifi connection in my house. It doesn't seem to affect the tablet elsewhere. (Though, I've only had this tablet for 3 days!)
it is extremely frustrating to have this intermittent connection problem with wifi.
Thank you.
Is there a way I can set a static IP address for mobile data? Not just wifi

I bought my gtab about a week ago and have it running nicely with Vegan. I had some trouble with the market but thanks to this forum got it working
Here is my last real problem. I work at a hotel. We have wifi for our guests which redirects you to a login page when you open your browser. It does not require a password you just have to click a button to accept the terms. Until you do this you have no internet connection. I can connect and even pick up an IP address but it will not go to the authentication page thus no internet. I have tried manually entering the URL for the login page and have also tried the IP address for the login page. I have tried setting a static IP with he correct gateway and DNS addresses. I have even tried the wifi web login app. Nothing works.
Any ideas how I can get this working?

I assume you've tried installing different browsers?

I have tried the stock browser, Dolphin HD, Firefox, and Fennec. I am going to try Opera today. Has anyone had luck with any particular browser?
Hi,
I think some systems like hotel-provided WIFI work by setting a proxy into the browser. If that is the case with your situation, it may require a different kernel, plus an app. Search this forum for "proxy", e.g.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=891605&highlight=proxy

Okay dumb question of the day. How would I determine if this wifi connection uses a proxy or not?
When I connect from my computer and run a tracert the first hop is the gateway and the second hop is always 192.168.50.1. Would that be the proxy?
I am Currently connected to this wifi with my laptop and I am not behind a proxy. I tried installing the Kernel referenced in the link you provided and also installed transproxy according to the thread still no go.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get this thing to connect. My wifi indicator is on shows I am connected but no internet.
I've had my gtab connected on hotel wifi, and similarly on airport wifi. If I recall, the redirected confirm page opened in a second tab in the background but was not put in focus. I had to manually switch to citing the TnT browser. If that's not it also look for a floating frame within the same window. I've seen this show up way off to the side, really had to scroll around to find it.
Just checked this no go. I am getting the unable to connect page on every browser I try. I did not see any other tabs popping up either.
Okay so I sent an email to the tech support for our wifi network. They responded and said Adnroid devices have trouble with DHCP because of their network and that it should work if I set a static ip. Now the problem is how do I set a static IP in Vegan. I have tried the app Static IP and it doesnt' seem to wan to work.
Nevermind just figured it out.
Okay for those that are interested or may search and find this thread later. I never would have guessed that would fix it but using a static IP address solved the problem. Thanks to those who tried to help

Glad u got it working!
check your internet conection
maybe i'm stupid and cant find the setting but how is it possible this device does not have a static IP/dns setting? is there a way to set it up after rooting the device? i just got my NT today and this is a HUGE setback for me since my network is restricted to static IPs not DHCP. Network has 9 pcs/laptops, 6 phones, 3 VOiP, and 2 IPTV Devices. I was trying to get it on the network during initial setup and failed. googled and found a way to skip oobe. still didnt help me
TIA

Not that I know of. Setting a static IP means that the device will only work on that WiFi network and no other (unless it uses the same IP range and mask, AND you guarantee that your static IP will not duplicate another on other networks).
Now, you may be able to guarantee this, but I think you can see that the average consumer (many Nook owners are not computer savvy, let alone network savvy) can get into trouble with a capability like this.
Further, every WiFi router I've seen, has the capability of assigning a specific DHCP IP address to a specific device, based on the MAC address. I would be very surprised if your network can't be easily configured to do the same.
The feature DeanGibson mentioned is called "DHCP reservation" on most current routers, or "static DHCP" for DD-WRT. AFAIK, older routers may not have that feature. I don't recall it for old Netgear and Linksys firmwares, may be others.
If yours don't, suggest upgrading to a new router. Abovesaid feature has most of the benefits of static IP (eg port-forwarding) but without the client-side setup hassle.
so the simple answer is no lol
pretty much sol at this point.. means i will have to reconfig yrs of work
i still think it sad that this device doesn't allow mean to set my own ip.
thanks to the both of you for your input.
Try either of these apps and see if they work for you.

Wifi Static was zactly what i was looking for! THANK YOU!
Today I bought GS3. Im trying to connect it with my home Wi-Fi router with DHCP. It accepts the key, sets "getting ip-address" for status and after 1 minute waiting it disconnects. If i look at the list of DHCP-Clients at my router, i see the following entry: android-aa086625ÿÿÿÿþÿÿÿ
Setting the IP-address to static solves the problem. Do you know why it doesnt work with dynamic?

Im not sure mate,
I would asign it a static ip address anyway because its easier for if you set anything extra up later on which relies on inputting a defined address.
I had this same thing with my old netgear router and a nexus s. I resolved it the same way you have done.
How big is your DHCP pool? Is it a /24?

Looking at that it seems that there is no reason why your phone should not be accepting a DHCP allocation.
Maybe the router and phone are just incompatible...
Have you tried with another router?
JD
I found out how to make my GS3 work with dynamic IP. As I supposed the problem was the host name mentioned above. It was probably too long for DHCP-server. After changing it with this app, connection worked trouble-free.
Maybe this info will be useful for someone
Rooted Thunderbolt - Connect to wifi quit working
I recently purchased a used rooted Thunderbolt. So far I've only used it on wifi networks and had no issues. Yesterday, when I try to turn the wifi on it never turns on and at some point it ultimately says error. I did some looking around and found that turning the wireless router off and then back on can often take care of this. I did this and it resolved the problem.
I'm having the same issue today only this time turning the router on and off doesn't solve the problem.
Here is some info about my phone:
Android Version

I once had the same issue with a Droid Incredible, however, after a few days it started working again without me doing anything (intentionally) to resolve the problem.h
Does anyone have any suggestions?
The receiver might be going out but you could try flashing a different kernel or rom. Someone else just posted that their receiver went out.

That's not real encouraging.
I think I'll install OSMonitor tomorrow and see if it gives any clues what is going on.
I found some suggestions at techrepublic.com blog titled "smartphones/troubleshoot-wi-fi-connections-on-your-android-phone/" [I'm new to this forum so I can't post a link or Figure B]"
There are a couple suggestions about changes in the wireless/advance settings. One is to select Proxy and make sure the phone is not set up for a proxy. The post is a few years old and I don't see this option on my phone. The other is to set a static IP Address which again I don't see as an option:
"6. Tap Advanced (Figure B).
7. Tap the Proxy setting and make sure your Android device is not set up for a Proxy. (Unless the Wi-Fi network you are on requires a Proxy, this setting will get in the way of your device's access to the Internet.) If you tap on Proxy and see an IP address or domain, delete it.
Figure B
Most likely the Proxy and Port settings will not be set, but it's always good to check if you're having frequent issues with Wi-Fi.
Static IP address
Another troubleshooting approach is to give your Android device a static IP address. This could reveal if the router you are trying to connect to is having issues with handing out DHCP addresses, or if your device is getting a bad address. To configure a static IP, tap Use Static IP and then fill in the settings (IP Address, Gateway, Netmask, DNS).
The only issue with setting up a static IP is that address will apply to all wireless networks, so only use this for troubleshooting if you just connect to one Wi-Fi network."
Any idea how (or if) I can do this?
wifi won't start - more info
I hope somebody is still tuned to this thread.
I have a rooted HTC Thunderbolt. It is running NuSenseROM_ReBorN_5.2_040813. I am having the same problem with the wifi not turning on.
I've run: logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt and I've attached the log file.
If I run: ifconfig wlan0, I get:
wlan0: No such device
Anyone have any suggestions?
For 3 days I've been trying to fix the 'unstable internet connection' on my phone to no avail. Finally I found a fix. This hasn't been listed anywhere I've seen and I've been researching this non-stop for days.
Go to your wifi connection and see what your IP address is. Then check your other devices. The IP address on the phone I was having the problem on was different from every other device in my house.
THE FIX
Choose your wifi network, tap and hold it. Choose modify. Then choose 'show advanced options. Under proxy settings choose manual. Under IP settings coose Static. You'll now be able to manually enter your IP address. As for the proxy host name, proxy port, and bybass proxy for, I just entered something random.
When I restarted my phone for the first time the 'unstable connection' part came back and I had to disconnect and reconnect and it was fine again.
Hope this helps people until we get a fix.

Does this work if you're on a dynamic IP network? What about if you're switching regularly between open and closed networks? This perhaps resets the WiFi. I've looked at advanced settings before, but this happens with mainly open networks, and I believe that these typically have dynamic IP addresses. The protected network in my home is rarely an issue, but open networks are what give me fits.
No harm in trying, and if it works, that'd be awesome. I'm wondering if done once it fixes all such issues that one encounters, or must be done with every new network.
@freeza has a fix in the works in the form of a kernel, and so far, it's pretty solid. The only issue I've found is that if ya flash anything, you have to reflash the fix. Odd, but does the job.

For this to really work, you'd need to do more than the OP states. ALL basic home routers/access points come setup with DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) which assigns IP addresses from numbers it keeps in a "pool". If you manually force your phone to use an IP (lets say 192.168.1.15) then leave the network (you go on some business trip) - and in the mean time, one of your kids adds some other device, or simply reconnects a device that hadn't been on the network for a while. After a certain period (the "lease" period of the IP), the router will put that IP BACK into the pool of available IPs. And since nearly all routers assign IPs bottom up (lowest to highest), if 15 is the next available number - you're toast. You come home, your phone tries to connect on 192.168.1.15 and gee- sorry - your son's PSP is on that IP.
For this to be a workable long-term solution, you'd have to enable static IPs within the router (a better way to do it anyway - that's how I have my network setup). You would simply go into the router, and tell it which IP to give to a device based on that device's MAC address.
Just figured I'd throw this out there because if an IP collision happens, the 2nd device in will simply get nothing - don't want someone tossing their phone out a window when it suddenly won't connect to a home network.
