With the constant ROM switching (Thank you, devs, SOOOOO much!) I was wondering if it is possible to use the wi-fi protected setup button to set up my connection instead of typing in my passwords. I don't see anything about it in the settings so, is it available?
Aaaand nobody has responded, so I think the answer is no. I was wondering the same thing ... This post is the first Google result that comes up for a relevant search on WPS for the Evo 4G LTE.

That is how I set my EVOLTE up at my friends place. Don't remember the exact process, took me a couple tries before I got it right.
I might suggest getting WIFi Recovery key from the play store. Once your keys are in place you can export and/or share your keys in a plain text file.then you could just copy/paste It does work for me. I'd have 4 different ones to setup.
One thing I did when I switched from my EVO3D was copied the file from it to my new EVOLTE and then copy & paste from the text file.

yes why WPS is available on the htc evo 4G lte

hi all,
just recently bought a hero and sorry for the noob questions. any help will be greatly appreciated.
1.) How do i activate the green notification light for any new notifications? so far i can only use the trackball to flash for a number of minutes and thats it.
2.) how can i permanently use 3g as a signal without switching back to edge? i prefer 3g because it is faster, but when i use the web, it reverts to edge making it slower when browsing. i want it never to switch back to edge just 3g.
3.) How do you update radio and rom? is it the same with winmo? i have a topaz and im currently using hero.
Thanks for any feedback!
So far the only answer i found was the notification light as a bug or a defect. line switching is still unsolved and updating.

1) It works as it is stated in the user's manual. How can you state that it is a bug or defect? Funny... Just because it works that way on Magic or G1 does not mean that it has to be the same on Hero.
2) You cannot as your phone will automatically switch between them when one another is not available. You phone will select 3G only if it is available around where you are. If it switches to Edge/GPRS/whatever, that means you don't have 3G signals around you.
3) There are 1.000 posts on the forum here regarding updating ROM, etc. Search is our best friend.

You can force HSDPA, but you do so at your own risk!
You need to download AnyCut from the Market and create new shortcut to the activity "Phone Info". From this short cut, you access a screen which gives lots of diagnostic info about the phones state and there is an option to "Set preferred network type". By default this is "WCDMA Preferred", but if you want to force to always use HSDPA you should select "WCDMA Only".
Note if you do this, your phone will never drop back to 2G, even if a 2G signal is available and a 3G one isn't.
I wouldn't advise playing around with any of the other options in this screen unless you know what you are doing!
Regards,
Dave

very interesting. because for my topaz i always set it to wcdma only. willing to give it a try. where can i download it? do i need a gmail account for this? cant find it any website where it can be downloaded.
Android software is downloadable via the Android Market application on your hero - any purchases are made by using a google checkout account which is set up like paypal so you don't need to enter your details all the time...

I have the HTC Aria with CM 6.1.1 installed on it.
Since the time I installed CM 6, I haven't been able to connect to the school network. I could do so in Liberated Aria (FRxx) and the stock 2.1 ATT Rom but not in CM6.
The thing is, my school has a login page that allows a student to login using his id and password and whenever someone tries to navigate to a page (google for example), the server would redirect to this login page first. Only after a user logs in, he can proceed to surf the web.
It works perfectly fien on my laptop and used to work in the Sense ROMs but for some reason, it doesn't work in CM6. 3G data works perfectly though.
I tried searching the forum but couldn't find a similar question. Someone asked this question in the Cyanogen Mod forum too but it was left unanswered.

If I'm remembering correctly it could be our wifi driver may not be compatible with their router or something along g those lines. Somebody can correct me on that though. Also, at the public library where I live every once in a while I wont be able to use the wifi. It will say connected but no internet. But if I go back the next day it works fine (reset their routers maybe?)

Thank you for that!
Is there a workaround for this? I hate to use the 3G data connection (which is paid, thank you ATT ) instead of the free WiFi that I could use instead. Also, at the place where I work on campus, I get no 3G. All I get there is EDGE.
I had this problem happen to me and couldn't find a solution for it. The only solution I found was to go to Liberated (I use the HK kernel) instead of CM6.
i would try using CM7 instead of CM6.
the CM7 nightlies were slow. even CM6 is pretty slow unless the aria is overclocked and doing this ruins the battery life. But i still prefer to use cm6 (for now atleast). Is there a way this issue can be rectified in cm6?
Anyone?? Hello!! People say that the android development community is very active but I've always found it otherwise. People like Cyanogen and attn release great mods but not always help people out with their problems. Isn't that unfair?

I find this to be the complete opposite of what I have experienced. I just got my phone Feb. 23rd and have rooted it flashed 3 different rom's and a couple nightlys. Like stated before, just get on the irc chat and start asking, but I do guarantee if you go with this kind of attitude you won't get far Good luck and I hope your problems get resolved.
did you consider asking IT at your college or checking their website for information on wifi?

I'm guessing that you used your browser after enabling WiFi and disabling data and entered your username and password mentioned above? Does this page even show up for you after this update?
immediately after you connect to the wifi, go to browser and try to open up a new page, that login should show up. (this is based on other networks where i have done the same thing)

thanks. Tried it but did not work.
I realized that since I started using the CM6.1.1 ROM, my phone's IP address doesn't show up at my home wireless router's logs. All I can see is my MAC id.
Could that be the problem?
You might want to give this new CM7 based ROM a try. It's based on CM7 nightly 21 and it fixes the known issues with hidden SSID's and reconnecting to "remembered" networks. I'm running it now and it's excellent.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996331
Edit: I expect that the changes in this ROM will be merged into the regular CM7 nightly builds in the very near future.

I dunno why it's been deleted, but in any case, the problems that ROM was designed to fix have been addressed a long time ago and current versions of CM7 shouldn't have those issues.
I'm working with CM7 no problem with hidden wireless networks, but it do seems that the phone get less reception on the wireless network. even if I'm close to routers I get only 2-3 bars on the wireless icon. Don't know why is that.
1) how can I improve wifi on my tablet. Seems like if I'm not right next to my router then I don't have internet. Note: all other electronic devices in my home including cell phone work everywhere.
2) when I click search on this forum my keyboard appears and then disappears and I'm not able to type anything. I was able to log in filling out the boxes on my grab but what s going in with the search function? VBulletin problem?
2) when it brings up the text box long press on it until the options window shows up and then hit back. You can also try flipping the tab to portrate and clicking the search button. These are the only ways it has worked for me from my gtab.
1) what kernel / rom combo are you using?
Thanks. Using CM7 stable.

So stock with pershoots kernel. You might want to try flashing his latest kernel and see if it kicks it up a notch. You can find his thread in the development section. You can also download wifiAnalyzer from the market and track where you get the best reception and you can see if your router signal is being overlapped by other wifi signals. I had 3 neighbors with there routers set on channel 6 I moved mine to 11 to clear up my signal and wifi got way better.

Could your tablet's antenna be damaged?
I doubt it. Basically brand new.
Mantara- so just flash an updated kernal over my rom?
I have the same problem as #2. I always click down and choose "Advanced Search", because I'm unable to type.
Hello,
i just bought the Razr and coming from teh original Milestone/Droid, the wifi signal is extremely weak! Almost not finding networks when the previous phone had 1 bar at that point.
Any suggestions for settings? What is peer-to-peer exactly? Shall i select specific channels for this?
Also the power widget in the notification bar is not a default thing in Motorola?
Is there a way to include it there?
Thanks!

Might be an issue hardware-wise. The range on my laptop wifi card is worse than my razr which is surprising. You said that your previous device had 1 bar of signal, I've found that if the razr doesn't have a good enough signal it will drop the connection. Mostly because a 1 bar signal is going to go slow as hell. You may want to try upgrading the router you're using.
Peer to peer I'm assuming is an adhoc network which is computer --> computer instead of router --> computer, amazing for sharing files but no connection to the internet.
Channels on the phone or the router? If you run a program called inSSIDer on your laptop you're able to see the wireless networks around you and how much interference they area creating. Run inSSIDer and see which channel has the least amount of interference and try setting your router to to that channel, your range should increase significantly.
As far as the power widget goes, my phone it was not default. Although that could be different on different carriers
Basically in the advance settings there is an option for peer to peer which had options for different channels that is why I was asking.
For sure the wifi is worst than my milestone..
The previous post has got you covered.
As for the power controls in the notification bar, you've got two option afaik:
1-Flash a mod, easily found in the development forum in a thread that combines all ROMs,MODs, and Hacks for the RAZR/MAX.
2-Install an app, the one I used is termed Notification Toggle and made by the dev J4vellin.
you can search for the app in gplay or XDA forums. Goodluck.

Thanks guys for confirming it... unforfunately this was a point that i didnt read before purchasing it.
I dont want to start new topics, so can i ask somethings here?
- can the battery icon be shown with a percentage?
- can we edit number of pages on default launcher?
- can we disable the network name on the top of notification bar?

All of those can be done with applications which one will be up to you. The best I'd say for free would be GO Power (for the percentage), and GO launcher (for more home screens). As for the carrier name, check out the development sub-section to this forum, there was an app called "carrier name" that allowed you to change it however I haven't had any success with it. I'm hoping the ICS update won't have the carrier name slapped all over it but who knows
Cool thanks
I just dont want to root yet, wantto feel it as it is a bit

Sorry sir, I should have mentioned you need to be rooted for that app. As far as I know there isn't a way to change the carrier name without being rooted
Have those problems too. I don't think there will be a fix, I bet the antenna is just rubbish.
To get the best wifi performance (not only with the razr, but the impact on the razr and the wifi speed is much more significant than on other devices), try using your router with just one wifi standard (e.g. only n, g or b and not a compatible mode that enables all of those 3).
Don't use the auto channel configuration in your router. To get to know which channel will work the best for you, get Wifi Analyzer on the play store (can't post link because I'm <10 posts. Remember: The reception of the razr is bad, so better use another Android device to do this or look for a computer application. iirc there's a software called inSSIDer that can do this too) and find out 1. which channels are used less by your neighbours and 2. which channel Wifi Analyzer suggests to you (Menu -> View -> Channel rating). In germany for example, nearly nobody uses channel 13, except for me. There are about 25 access points available in my apartment, but not a single one uses channel 13 lol.
This increased the throughput on my wifi from about 10MBit/s to rock solid 30MBit/s and led to less delay when loading webpages.
I've noticed that whenever I go somewhere and I'm near another wi-fi network my phone saves it in the available networks. The problem I have is it won't remove ANY of them that I'm no longer near. I've got 20+ listed and several are points from across the city I live in. I can't figure out how to get my phone to purge the list when a network isn't close by.
Any advice?

No. The only ones that will allow me to "forget" are the ones I have saved. The ones that are stuck are ones I've never accessed.
Ah ok. That's a rather strange behavior.
Maybe something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roamingsoft.manager could sort it out? Not really sure. Hard to find info on this particular quirk due to the keywords bringing up a million other wifi issues.
Thanks for the help. The "Wi-fi Manager" works great but the stock wi-fi manager is still screwy.

No problem. Better than nothing, at least. If you had an iPhone or Windows phone that was being weird like that, you'd just have to deal with it.
