I just got my View last week and it updated to Honeycomb the very next day. Today is the first day bringing it to work. Our corporate network does not have DHCP enabled. I am able to see my corp network wifi and put in the password, but it never obtains an IP address. There is no 'menu' button to go to advanced settings like in normal android (2.2 or 2.3). On my phone I go to advanced settings and enter the IP information manually and it works fine. Where is that menu on this tablet? Did HTC 'F' up and leave it out?
Thanks!
Go to WIFI settings, tap on the network. Then change "IP Settings" from HDCP to "Passive" (strange that this is called "Passive" but anyway). Then you get a new menu to change the IP address, gateway, DNS, etc.

Is there a way to make WM6 store the specific IP and DNS settings for an individual network?
When I have the settings configured for my home network it works great but having to change them and reset them each time I connect to a public network it a pain.
I have heard of people here switching APNs, but I never really understood why anyone would do this. To make a long story short, is there an APN that I can use that will give my phone an external routable IP address? It doesn't even have to be permanent--I can use a dynDNS client. Are there any side effects that I should be aware of when switching APNs?
If I can switch APNs, what are all the settings? I went to the Add APN screen, and there are a bunch of settings there, and I did not know what to put in there. My current APN is epc.tmobile.com
(Optional reading here for why I want to do this. May give important insight???)
I was testing a new (to me) program on my phone, "Growl for Android". It allows the phone to receive notifications from a PC, such as "Server is down", or in my case since I intend to connect it to my home automation system, things like "Alarm disarmed", or even "Alarm is sounding". So, my PC runs continuous tests, checks, whatever, and if it detects something noteworthy, it pushes the notification to my phone. Or said another way, my phone runs a small server to receive notifications from a PC running a Growl client. The problem is, my phone does not have a permanent IP address. When I am connected to my WiFi at home, it does have a permanent IP address, but when I am just on cellular, there is no telling what the IP address is. So, dynDNS to the rescue. Well, guess what? That won't work either because the phone apparently has non-routable IP addresses (we are behind a router). I had heard in a forum for the Growl application that a different APN may help. So I am asking here.
I know this may seem like a corner case, but I thought I'd see if anyone might have a recommendation on how to automate it. I have the default Mail app from CM7 working great overall against our corporate Exchange server. However, when I change networks from corporate wifi to home wifi or vice-versa, it stops syncing until I kill/restart the application. My guess is that this is happening because the IP address associated with the mail server hostname differs between the private and public networks and perhaps the running process caches the IP address? That's the only thing that makes sense to me given that it can restore the connection just fine if it loses and regains wifi, but if you change networks you have to cycle the process.
Any thoughts?
So, I had my phone flashed and rooted but it had a very old version that was crashing on me like crazy. Obviously, they guy who did the job and sold it to me, warned me to not use LTE and he had configured it to be disabled by default.
There is a configuration setting that got reset after I updated to Jelly Bean, which by the way there was another update that I just received today. (Ver: 3.16.651.3 710RD).
So I know how frustrating it gets when you want the Internet to properly work including video playback and also MMS settings. There is actually a video on how to configure these things but I just wanted to drop these settings here for everyone that can't view videos to just read them. So here are the steps to follow for: (connection lost to server, retry... etc). My phone does not have "root" and everything works flawlessly. Flash is kept after software updates so, no need to reflash if you update HTC Software.
Dial ##3282# then enter the pass which by default is 000000 unless you have changed it to something else when changing prl.
After that is done you should see the EPST configuration panel, if checked, uncheck USB Charging that's at the bottom.
Navigate to: Advanced>RTSP/HTTP Setting for RSTP Proxy IP just tap it and enter the following:
RTPS Proxy IP = 0.0.0.0
RTSP Proxy Port (mine is 554) and works fine
HTTP Proxy IP = 0.0.0.0
HTTP Proxy port 8085
Now; go back using the back "<" illuminated button on the bottom and configure Advanced>MMSC Settings as follows (tap to configure):
MMSC = h ttp://mms[dot]vtext[dot]com/servlets/mms and hit ok
MMS Proxy (leave it blank, erase whatever is there)
MMS Port enter 8080 and hit ok
MMS Protocol (I'm using 2.0)
The next trick is to download Go SMS Pro from app store and configure its settings as follows:
Tap the squared boxed button that's at the left top corner and then select "Settings" from the pop up screen.
Navigate to: MMS Settings>MMSC enter h ttp://mms[dot]vtext[dot]com/servlets/mms MMS Proxy, mine is blank so I don't know if there is an actual value for it; and for MMS Port enter 8080
Exit out from it and it should save it.
This should enable to you to send MMS however, when attaching photos to send, always choose MMS icon that's on the left when you get the screen options of smiley face, mic, go with hand icon, paint, last is the MMS icon, you should always select it when sending MMS otherwise it will send link instead of the actual image.

Now, comes WiFi Thetering, at the time of this post I was having trouble connecting to the Internet since I moved to my new apartment so I lost my Internet because I haven't called in for a new service. I became curious about my internet connection. I had tried it before and it failed to keep its connection alive. I would get error, disconnected from wireless service etc etc. It would never connect and it worked one time luckily. However after I lost it, it never worked again, I read today from an article about the USB Charging option with custom ROM however mine is stock. So, I disabled USB debugging from settings and connected it while it was open and it worked fine, it hasn't disconnected since then, however the USB Debugging check appeared again after I had it connected. It could be USB debugging setting that is messing the connection, so try disabling it and connecting with USB.
I haven't tried hotspot yet as I want to publish this before disconnecting since I don't have Internet but from my phone's. If you have something to add, or have a question, just post it here. I will try to help, as for the configuration, everything works fine, Facebook, Pandora, twitter, fast internet speeds, and also Youtube. Did I mention the speeds for WiFi tethering is duper fast? Yeah, it's almost like any regular Internet service, very fast. I"m using Windows 8 Pro 64-bit btw
LTE?
Do these settings get the LTE working or is it just 3g?

Hi.
I have Wifi disconnections frequently on my phone (Xiaomi Redmi 5) and my researches lend me to focus on IPv6.
When my phone is connected to my home Wifi, I can see in the connections parameters that there are 2 local IP addresses : one IPv4 and another IPv6.
I disabled in my router settings the IPv6 management but my phone still has an IPv6 address.
What do I need to do (On the router or on the phone) to get rid of it?
Thanks!
Dude, i was just coasting down the information highway, not actually looking for this, but found it nonetheless, and coincidentally i go thru the same rather annoying events. Did you ever solve it? Care to share?
Yep, it appears to me that while using a VPN disconnections didn't occur anymore.
I don't understand why but if works.
I use this workaround since.
I'll give that a try! Thanks
I don't think it's a problem with ipv4 or ipv6. precisely if you don't establish an IP address it can't be connected to WiFi. maybe you can try resetting the Router you are using. CMIIW
@Double Jo
A Local IP address ( to be corect: Private IP address ) is an IP address that's reserved for internal use behind a router or other Network Address Translation (NAT) device, apart from the public. Private IP addresses are in contrast to public IP addresses, which are public and can't be used within a home or business network
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) reserves the following IP address blocks for use as private IP addresses:
10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
As one can see those all are IPv4 addresses.
