Set wifi device name - running CM - TouchPad General

I tried searching but it seems search strings i've been using is not correct.
Anyway, anyone here knows how to change the device name? Like when I connect to wifi, i check my router status and it says:
'Android01234567890'
i want to change this to something else but don't know how. Anyone?
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Jellybam ROM problem

Hi, a couple of weeks ago i installed successfully the jellybam 5.0.0 (i think) ROM on my device. And yet it works perfect as for a little problem. I set up a lock screen password and today i decided to use my phone without a password....i went to the settings menu but there it is written that the "no password mode" is deactivated by admin. Has anybody idea how to solve this problem? Thanks
Do you have a VPN connection configured? If yes, a lockscreen pin/pattern/password is required.

Works fine for me here.
Create a new profile-Events-Display-Display On.
Add Task-Net-WiFi-On.
Similar for Display Off.
That's all I did.

i would try setting the network to GSM only or WCDMA only and see if it has problems on both network modes.
Make sure the apns were set properly

Correct modem correct CSC for your network installed ???
Mobile Data turned on ??

If all else fails you could ask your network to send you the settings for the access point. Ask your network for network settings. They will send you a system message. Press install and then pull out your battery and sim. Wait a minute and then put the sim in and battery and start your phone. You should then have a network connection.
Some devs leave their access settings by accident. It happens once in a while.

[Q] unable to get wifi tether to work

I'm running the viper rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124391
I've tried using 4 different tether apps including foxfi, the spring hotspot and wifi tether 3.2 pre2
None of them work. At worst the wifi connection doesn't even show up in the list of wifi networks. At best it starts to connect and if i have no encryption, says it's obtaining an IP address and never gets past that (the app shows a connected device at this point) or if i have encryption enabled, it doesn't get past authenticating.
I also saw a post about editing the build.prob to have ro.ril.transmitpower = true - tried doing that as well to no effect.
In the wifi tether app i tried using the two generic ics profiles. I tried it with mms clamping and route fix on and off - no good.
Can anyone please offer me some suggestions on how to fix this or at least narrow down what the issue is?
Thanks
Try this version

Thanks - where is this from originally? Sorry - just being a little paranoid - like to know what i'm installing
oh well - no luck. tried running this one under a couple of the available device profiles, including both generic ics profiles and auto - it wont even show up under the list of available networks no matter which profile i select.

I had the same problem but all you have to do is turn off access control and it should work.:fingers-crossed:

access control was off - even if it was on it should give me a prompt to accept the connection or not.
I had to do a full wipe of my phone and reinstall the rom - i wish i knew what it was that messed it up so i can avoid doing it again.

Does the app 'Tasker' not work with Verizon GS4?

I tried 2 profiles so far and they both don't work. The "lockscreen off when connected to certain wifi" and the "turn wifi on when near a specific cell tower". I follow video guides for both, and they're simple enough, that I don't believe I made any mistakes. Yet, they're not working.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I need to enable first?
Did our install secure setting and it's helper?

works great on my GS4. It may help if you elaborate on what exactly isnt working. did you update the profile with your SSID?
You need to install secure settings plugin from play store.
I currently have tasker setup to disable my pin lock when connected to my home network

Can you explain exactly how you did yours? Because I downloaded secure settings and I have no idea what to do.

I created a profile in tasker. This should work but I have not tested it.
You will need to import the project.
- press/hold home button in tasked
- click import: pattern
- click untrusted
- not WiFi connected
- ssid: "input wireless network name"
- click trusted
- not WiFi connected
- ssid : "Input wireless network name"
- turn both profiles on
Hope that works

Have you tried Llama? It's a more powerful app.

Hmm. I'll have to look into that one. But I use Automateit instead. So far I really like it, I feel it's got a more user friendly interface than tasker, but my only complaint is that when I set it to silence my phone at work, and at the end of the day it sets the volume back, text messages are still silent, so it takes a reboot to get it back. So I just set it to reboot 1 minute after the sound is set to turn back on.

I'm sorry, but Llama is in no way more powerful.
It may be easier to use, but as far as power goes, Tasker has much more. It has the ability to do more things based on more "states".
