Can someone tell me where the Mac address is stored in SGS2.
I have found /etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt but in that file it is a different mac address then the one i see in wifi advanced settings.
/Mike
Anyone?
I really need this information.

Be a pioneer, try the two options and post the result here.

Have been a pioneer .
But it did not help to change in nvram_net.txt.
Doesn't anyone know in what file the mac address is stored?
/Mike
Menu > settings > About phone > Status > wifi mac address
(if that is what I understand from question)

I actually thought it was chipware (pic) stored on the actual wifi hardware. I know you should be able to override.
How do I override it?

Dunno, much like linux I would guess, why do u want to?

Not the best of ideas, and may not even work, why not sign in on your phone?
And for your "How do i do in linux?" question, you use goolge to search for a query that millions will have had for the widest used classification of operating system in the world
But... a simple google search gives
http://www.robmcghee.com/android/changing-the-mac-address-on-android/
I am in a hotel and with a pc connect to the hotspot and get a wifi connection:
Then when i start to surf i get redirected to http://hyd.guestnet.int/login/
Where i fill in username and password in a form and i send the information to http://1.1.1.1/logon.cgi.
On my phone i get a wifi connection but is not redirected and i can not surf to http://hyd.guestnet.int/login/
I have tried all ways that is described but none is successful.
That is the reason I wonder if someone knows how i can change the mac in os on a SGS2.

you tried downloading opera or firefox for your mobile? Either or may make it so you can login on that form?
Easier solution if it works

Have tried Opera mobile, firefox and dolphin, none is working.
/Mike
Don't forget to set the User Agent of Opera/Firefox/Dolphin to Desktop. Does the hotel ask for a login in the form of a website, or is it a dialogue box? Because websites can easily load on your phone.
I have the Useragent set to Desktop.
The hotel redirect me to a webpage http://hyd.guestnet.int/login/
Where i fill in username and password in a form and i send the information to http://1.1.1.1/logon.cgi.
On my phone i get a wifi connection but is not redirected and i can not surf to http://hyd.guestnet.int/login/
I can not get the phone to show the webpage with login.
Now i was thinking to set the same mac addres on my phone as on the pc and use the pc to logon and then switch of wifi on pc and turn it on on the phone.

Is it possible to change the mac address on SGS2?

Hey guys,
i have an issue with my wifi connection, but only in one specific place.
Here goes: I can connect and use wifi everywhere(without any problem), but not at my friends house. Wifi connects without a problem, but after that i cannot use it (can't download from market, can't surf, etc.). It says there is an internet connection failure, altough i'm still connected.
I know for sure there isn't a problem with routers, modems, networks, etc. coz i setup his network myself (exactly the same as al the other networks i use) So in this there cannot be a problem. My friend can connect his iphone4, my wife can with S+, even a guy with an ACE can connect and use, except for me and my ACE.
Already reset router, modem and phone (even other firmware), but still nothing!
Hope somebody can help with this, coz i'm really bugged out on this one.
Cheers.
Check if u have a WPA protection.. My ACE doesnt work with Wifi with WPA pwd..
or
Try this:
Go to Wifi Settings, select the hotspot you are connecting to, forget the connection, restart ACE, connect to the hotspot again by entering the password
Hope this helps..
While on the topic of not being able to surf, I can never download anything from mediafire.

Hmm, strange i can't download either. Nothing, not even textdocuments always get message "download failed".
Try to find out from this other Ace which modem he has installed. Check yours as well. If they are different, it can be a clue...

The strange thing is i can reciev whattsapp messages, but cannot send them.

weirdo wifi
Check on router setting the ip address your phone is using is not bind to another device,s mac address this is on the router settings something like ip & Mab binding.
It could be the ip you are trying to use alocated for use by another device only.
However u will be able to connect to the router it will show in the router you phone is connected and alsoshow in wifi on the phone you are connected but you will NOT be able to connect to the internet.

Hey,
Thnx, will try this ASAP. This might be it.
Question: If my phones ip-adress is indeed the problem, is it possible to change it without any problem? Or should i delete the binded ip at the router?
Cheers.
ip no problem
You can set another ip address manually for phone first find out what routers ip address is
normally 192.168.1.1 is default for lots of routers then see router has DHCP
enabled this means router issues ips to devices. if it is enabled the leave your phone as is and check on the router under ip & Mac binding see if it is enabled UNanble u can always put it back
even better see on router what ip your phone is using then checxk in ip & mac binding that it is not assigned to another device for use. if it is u can delete that binding.
binding means you give a certain device's mac address a certain ip so only that device can you that ip
for example say your phones mac adress is 12:34:56:78:90:00 and you assign or give it ip adress 192.168.1 10 then in theory only your phone can use this ip. THIS not always the case depends on what make router. Whilst we are at that what is your router model.
Look in these places on roter
DHCP settings
IP & Mac Binding.
IP address filtering ( perhaps the ip your phone is using is blocked from internet, it will still be connected but cant access the internet) shout if you need more info
sorry got carried away yes delete bind ip you can always rebind. this below / following is from my router most routers are similar.
IP & MAC Binding Help
To manage the computers well in the LAN, you could control access among computers by ARP Binding.
MAC Address - The MAC address of the controlled computer in the LAN.
IP Address - The assigned IP address of the controlled computer in the LAN.
Bind - Whether or not enable the arp binding.
Modify - Edit or delete item.
Link - Turn to IP & MAC Binding Setting page.
Example: If you want assign 192.168.1.4 to PC A (MAC: 00-E0-4C-00-07-BE), and any other PCs could not use this IP,you should first enable "ARP Binding", and add a new item as below.
ID MAC Addrss IP Address Bind Modify
1 00-E0-4C-00-07-BE 192.168.1.4
DHCP ip Address Reservation Help
When you specify a reserved IP address for a PC on the LAN, that PC will always receive the same IP address each time when it accesses the DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings.
MAC Address - The MAC Address of the PC that you want to reserve IP address for.
Reserved IP Address - The IP address of the router reserved.
To Reserve IP Addresses:
Enter the MAC Address (The format for the MAC Address is XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX.) and the IP address in dotted-decimal notation of the computer you wish to add.
Click the Save button when finished.
To modify a Reserved IP Address:
Select the reserved address entry as you desire, modify it. If you wish to delete the entry, make all of the entry fields blank.
Click the Save button.

hi,
i've found an utility that gives me the wan ip but i need my personnal (internal to my network) ip, any clue ?
subsidiary : any method to configure wifi ? (ex: ip fixing or adhoc mode, etc.)
thanks !!
There's an app in the webos catalog called what is my IP
if you can open up a terminal command line from preware, just type ifconfig -a
you can also look on your router to see what was assigned or go under wifi settings and set a static ip. i prefer a static ip anyways just so i know what it's on for connection purposes.
thanks both!
what's the app for terminal ?

there's an xterm app in preware. it's kind of annoying to use, but it will work fine for what you need.
If its the only device on the network look in the WiFi router admin panel

on the touchpad, have you tried settings->wifi-> press on name of network you are connected to?
don't think you need to install anything.
I am starting this thread to let you guys know that the new ICS from Sony contains static ip and PROXY configurations in the stock Rom itself !!
But the thing i,s it can so happen that without a proper guide, it can be easily overlooked and one may think that "Sony dint provide us with proxy this time also and above that they removed static ip settings too ?"
Hehe well fear not guys.....its not so..
Here are the steps to set up static ip for anyone needing to do this.
1. go to system settings
2. click on wifi
3. click on add network
4. enter your network ssid
5. choose your security
6. enter your password for you network
7. click save
ok here is where you have to let it find the network, let it connect and aquire an ip address (even thou it is not the correct one) let it do its thing. do not skip this step otherwise you will not be able to configure the ip or save it.
once it says it is connected go back and do steps 1-2
you will see your network and it should say connected.
long press on your network name. it will bring up 2 options.
1 forget network
2 modify network config.
click on modify network config
it will bring up a bunch of settings. scroll down till you see a box that says :" Show advanced options"
click on the box. ( do not save or cancel the window)
scroll down a little bit and you will see 2 boxes
1 proxy settings
2 ip settings <<< click on the lower right hand coner and change this from dchp to static.
once you do this you will see settings under that box input all your info into these boxes *****( leave 3rd box that says " network prefix length" at 24 )******* once you have completed click save and your phone should be connected to you static ip network..
1 ip address
2 gateway
3 network prefix length (Leave this at 24)
4 dns 1
5 dns 2
6 ******* CLICK SAVE ********* not cancel or you will have to repeat the process. LOL Dont ask how i know this 3 times.. LOL
I hope this helps everyone.
If this helped hit the Thanks button.
Similarly you can configure proxy also.
Plz don't forget to thank galaxyuser88 as this was originally his guide. Thanks..

that's actually a very good feature, which i was hoping to Sony implement it, and here it is and the good thing is all the setting can be backup at Google server, so next time you just need to configure one wifi configuration and all the setting will be restore

you're talking about Proxy ( i think ) so Just long tap on Wifi SSID ,,, choose " Advanced Option " and then check " Manual Proxy " and type your credentials :good:

No ,thats the problem! if it asks, there is no problem !!!!!!. i think this is something related to browser. bcuz actually web browsers are asking f authentication not by windows.Mozilla or chrome are asking authentication in laptop on each time i connecting to college network.
