I was just wondering if anyone has tried to change the wifi MAC address on the photon? And if not, do u guys know of any ways to do it on another phone that would work on the photon? Please help and thanks

why would you want to change it anyhow? banned from wifi? I know you can spoof them relatively easy from a command line in linux, if i recall MACs are pretty much hard coded to the adapter anyhow, are you unlocked and rooted? I dont see you getting far if you aren't at least rooted.

Hmm. You might want to test if your MAC address spoofing works at home. Basically, try a method to spoof a MAC address on your phone. Then connect to your router at home and in the router's config page (usually at 192.168.1.1) and see if the router is seeing the spoofed MAC address or the real one. That way you can tell for sure if it worked. Then try it at your school.
There might be a chance at your school that they have had to ban so many MAC addresses that they decided a whitelist is better and more effective. I went to a school that did this. If they did implement a whitelist, just find a whitelisted device (preferably one that's not used that often to prevent conflicts) and clone its MAC address.

Any way to encrypt signal (even really simply)?
I know when I go to this convention next week all the bored people are going to steal my bandwidth (VZW dialup is not fast enough for anyone but me).
I am pretty sure there was a way to configure WEP, tho I have only gotten WMWifiRouter to work one time. And it was because there were no other AP's in the area. For some reason if I am in an area where there is an AP but it's secured, my phone keeps prompting me to connect to it, and if I dismiss the message, it never properly initializes where any other device can connect to it.
No errors show up on the screen, it just doesn't show up as an available wireless AdHoc network. I've tried running the latest trial version, and the version that is in DCD's kitchen, same problem on both.
Maybe I'm just not smart enough to figure it out, or maybe my brother's PDA and my Ipod just aren't compatible with it. I got it to work 1 time, and it was with my laptop.

i thought of that too, but will it let me connect more than one computer to it at a time?
plus ive heard issues about overheating when used for a while.
thoughts?
thanks
Sorry for the what seems like a basic question but didn't find this in my search of the forums.
I have a non-rooted Evo (that unfortunately I am not allowed to root). Anyone know of a way to use something similar to PDANet to tether to the gtablet?
I would think there would be some way to get this done but am not having luck finding it.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone?
Is there really no way to do this? Arg!
if pda net won't work for you and you are on verizon wireless.....you can pay the 20$ a month to use their service........I'm curious,why can't you root?

Shared phone at this point. I can run PDAnet on the phone....there is no client program that I know of to run on android tho for the tab to point the network over the USB to go to the phone.
Its an Evo....so I'm on Sprint.
Thanks for trying.
I think Tether.com has an android program now. Always worked great on my blackberry. Not sure if it will wifi tether or need program on the receiving device though.
Simple answer is root your phone and use Wifi Tether.

Thanks. Rooting is out for me on this phone so oh well.
Looked at this...this works same as PDAnet....an android app is there to share the 4G signal on that device but it assumes you are tethering to a PC or a MAC and has executables for those OS's assuming you are linking to a laptop.
In this case I was trying to link an android to an android. I'll keep looking.

Rooting does nothing to the phone that affects how it works. using a custom ROM does.
I have a HTC Droid Incredible, rooting does nothing to the user experience. But rooting does allow for using ROMs.
Well it makes no difference. I can't install a custom ROM and I believe I have to root to do that. This wasn't particularly helpful.
I don't believe there is a way to tether android to android without being able to manipulate non-userspace (aka superuser access). I'll do some footwork for you, but to my knowledge I don't believe you can. I wish I could be more helpful.
I've been scouring all the resources I could find.i can't find any way for you to do this.....sorry.....
What about a soft root? That is a method of rooting that is not permanent, and will go away every time you reboot your phone. Would that be something you could do?

Thanks to everyone for their assistance. I spent a couple days looking around but never found anything either. Thanks for taking your time to help.
I find it hard to believe this hasn't been done. Wish I knew how to program....
So I have heard rumors you can bluetooth tether to a android phone. But I am not sure how it works.
Please let me know if find anything. I have been trying to find a way to do this as well.

Still looking. PDAnet can run the bluetooth connection on the phone side but I haven't found an app that runs on the gtablet side to route the traffic over the bluetooth connection (or USB if I could find that as well).
I found a bunch of people who have Xoons that were able to do it but apparently it has an option built in to allow tethering over BT (they get a little wrench that pops up once the devices pair). I have found nothing like this in ours.
I'm also trying to find out how to soft root my Evo as I don't want to run Unrevoked but I'm not having luck there either.
Is it the warranty your worried about breaking by rooting? If so I can understand. But I think you may be confusing rooting with installing a custom rom. You don't have to do that. There is no change in the phone except an app in your drawer called super user. Use universal androot apk or z4root and then use the barnacle teathering app from the market. Its connected my PC, Mac, winmo phone, Gtab and Xbox 360 to my phone.
There is a "hack" that works with the Droid X. I don't know if it works with other android phones, but I saw it a while ago on androidforums.com. do a search in the droidx sections.
Ok, so recently, in Texas there's a thing going called BYOD Bring your own device, its when you can just use your smartphone/laptop/tablet in class for "educational" purposes when the teacher allows it.
To support that, my school has added WiFi for students to use.
The wifi had no protection before, but now people outside of school have been taking advantage of it... so they added a WP2k (or something likethat) lock to it.
They've told us that the password would be our birthdate
so mine would be 090119**
EVERYONE elses phones work, a few guys even have a Vibrant and they connect (their on stock) but mine NEVER does it.
I thought maybe it was my password? nope. I asked a friend to use his password on my phone, it didnt work.
I used my password on his phone, and it worked and connected.
So its a REALLY weird issue, and IDK how to solve it, should i reflash bi-winning, or perhaps get another ROM? I'm open to suggestions, Froyo only roms right now please, but mainly focus on my actual wifi problem, is it bi winning or am i doing something wrong?
Try Crazy 8, Simply Galaxy 2.8 or one of the new Froyo ROMs posted in the last couple days? Simply Galaxy 2.8 was always a favorite of mine... Everything was fast and battery was great.... Theming was nice too
Bi-Winning always did act weird on my phone. Figured it was just me.

My first thought is that it might be a compatibility issue with the encryption they are using. 2.2.1 roms are all ports on the Vibrant and a wifi fix has to be added to get the connection to work properly. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the issue. I have no idea how to fix it though...

Does no one else find it odd that a wifi network would have individualized WPA keys? I fear that I have missed something.
Hm, true. Maybe it's actually an open network with a gateway login. That's one way my school does it. Any additional info xriderx66?
Well guys, idk all that info ask me something specific, then maybe I can answer?
So far I think its my phone, I went to ultimate ROM, wifi problem persists.
The wifi is locked with WPA2k or something similar.
The way login works is..
First you login using bod on the wifi, then when you go to a website, it asks for login and pass that I have, then it connects, but I need the wifi to connect first.
I put my password, then it says disabled under that wifi, and another popup comes asking for password but this time it has (unchanged) in password blank
Hi, they have addded another wlreless connction at work. They have now heavily restricted what we can acesss.
I have been searching all over and not really getting anywhere. Is there a WEP android hack thingy for our phones. I can acess XDA at work if I can get in on the second connection (managers wifi and of course I work for a living not like them so we get screwed LOL). I can not really run a laptop on the shop floor so that way is out.
Thanks.
Not sure if this violates any TOS cause I never read that but please remove this post if it does.
Rooted GB x10 wolf 6 rom
Router keygen and penetrate,both are paid apps,and wifi kill if you want the wifi only for you. Cant post warez.
Penetrate gives you the wireless keys of Thomson, Discus, Infinitum, BBox, DMax, Orange, SpeedTouch,DLink,Eircom,BigPond,O2Wireless routers. if it is one of theese you can rely on penetrate
Sorry it took so long to get back, thanks anyways but those programs do not seem to work on Canadian routers like dlink and stuff. O well
Thanks
Don't have WiFi where I am, but I do have internet on my computer, is there any way to hook up my phone via USB and use my computer's connection on my Note?
Buy a cheap wifu router, and add wifi to whatever hard connection u have, unless u have a USB cell modem on ur PC. Even then thay make routers for types as well...
I don't have any use for this, but being a network engineer, I was curious about it. A quick google came up with this, which you might be able to at least use as a starting point...

I saw that, but was hoping for an easy non-rooted method.
I'll have WiFi later today, I'll just wait.
