Hello, i've recently bought Xperia P and already liked the phone but there's one big problem
with internet on it - when i try to use internet shared from my primary phone - Nokia E72 - by JoikuSpot Premium
- Xperia doesn't see the network.
I did a little search and found an app called Wi-Fi Manager. Success! It sees the network.
But wait, another problem! When i try to connect - it displays a message that
a standard Android doesn't support IBSS type networks (Ad hoc).
What can i do? I don't have any other way to share Nokia's internet,
and don't want to get the SIM card out, put it in Xperia, than again put it out,
mount it in that frame (different SIMcard sizes) and i need to have the Nokia on and be able to answer calls and write messages
on it. Be available all the time.
I have rooted the Xperia, soft is original, debranded (4.1.2 LT22i 6.2.A.1.100 Central Europe),
installed by myself with Flashtool.
How can i modify it to be able to connect to my shared "IBSS" network ?
Please help

Change it to a different network via the Nokia, just set security for WPA2 under a password.
That or you'll have to add the network manually and then set it for AutoConnect once it does connect, do both that manually and it should be fine.
Same goes for any phone....

Hello XDA devlopers,
I'm trying to connect to a WPA EAP network in my school, or a 802.1x EAP network as my mini pro regocnizes it.
when trying to connect it asks me for a password/password consisting of 8 letters/numbers.
i have tried using the same methood we do for our laptops we use at our school wich is a Unique SchoolID and a password. but that doesn't work since it want whatever i write to match the first line of password.
However, when just writing something random like 8 number 1 digits it goes on and asks for a connection type were i can choose from EAP, WPA and etc where i chose EAP because thats what im guessing our school uses (i'm no network technichan so i dont know anything about wireless networks at all, otherwise i probably wouldn't post here for help lol.)
But when i have choosed the connection type it tries to connect for like half a second and then stops and goes back to sleeping mode or searching for new potentional wi-fi/wireless networks.
Please note that my phone is a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro device with default 2.1 sony ericsson stock rom and no root, aswell as the standard app to connect to wi-fi / wireless networks. (Settings > Wifi & Mobile networks > Wi-Fi)
If i have written this in the wrong thread or have written something not understandable please PM me and i will try to correct the text.

Joel

I would suggest looking up on your school's website to see if there are instructions for setting up the internet on your mobile device. I would assume they have instructions for different platforms.
I struggled to get it working at my school in which i had to get a certificate installed and blah blah blah. I can't remember if i got it working or not, it's been a while. I remember hitting a problem with WPA2 authentication on the mini pro. Hopefully you can get it working.

Thank you,ctalcant
But I've talked with our computer technichan team, but they said that they dont care and wont give support to anything else than our laptops, i also checked our schools website page and there were no instructions on how to connect, not even with our computers. only found a page telling us to visist the computer technichans if we experienced trouble.
So sadly, they wont support or help me with this. Any other suggestions?
Edit: i went there again and had a talk with a diffrent person, who seemed to have an android phone aswell, but he said that a certificate is needed to connect, atleast for the laptops in our school, but sadly he couldn't give it out because it was aginst their rules to do so. He said that he used a non-protected guest wi-fi that is aviable for our school, but to connect that you need a username and password aswell, and he couldn't give me one unless i was a guest at the school. And what iv'e heard about the guest one is that its suckey anyway so if there is any other solution i would be very happy.
Edit 2:
I have been using ubuntu on my school laptop before and got the wi-fi working without installing any certificate, but then i just selected to use EAP-PK2 something when editing settings on how to connect to the wifi with the ubuntu laptop and then filling the boxes with my schoolID login credentials and got it working.
And Android is based on linux so there should be some workaround for this?
Very Thankful for any answers about this.

I dont think it is possible for me to set up and proxy for the schools network.
They only have blocked one port and i think thats port 22 or something for security reasons, no other pages are blocked afaik.
Im starting to need the wi-fi access at school badly, i think i could pay whoever came up with a workaround or solution that works lol.
i'll post a fix tommorrow, i am currently trying it myself and it seems to work quite good!
please make a backup before you try.
it worked fine on mine though
802.1x working again!
hope it works for you!
you will loose draft N ability unfortunately
so only 54 mbit

i will try this as soon as i root my phone again, because currently is unrooted and using default stock rom.
still waiting for the CM7 for mini pro to become 100% stable for everyday use. I use my phone alot and with a rebooting phone or non working phone is a bad idea lol
Also make sure to download telekom global root cert.
Its not installed by default
Its listed on the webpage
Pki.dfn.de
Its often used for 802 connections

Even is an old thread I see no point in opening a new one.
So, I bought android (4.2.2) mini pc and created a pc out of it, but I am having trouble with connecting to students network cause it has 802.1x authentication, and you login with faculty username and password.
On windows we use Securew2 software and that solves problems, but when connecting on android I cant find any options to select EAP or TTLS authentication, anyone has a clue?

I run JB 4.1.2 on my x10mini and it just asks for username and password on 802.1x networks and then it connects. Not tested with a 'closed' network like a university setup, but with the public hotspots from my provider it just works.

Ah, that's a different animal altogether. I hope for you there's someone with a good answer to that, or try the playstore to see if there's anything available that implements that functionality.

There is an app Securew2 for android, but i think it only simplyfies Wifi connection...either way I cant try it cause it doesnt support my university credentials yet..
Hello,
i have a Xperia Mini Pro SK17i, buyed to Vodafone but i unlocked to use Simyo (Spain).
I have the following problem:
When the phone restart i have data in GPRS or 3G, no problem at this, but in few hours/minutes the internet connection dissapears and the G or 3G icon too but i have signal. I have tested the sim card in other Android Phone and works OK.
All options are the same in the two phones but in Xperia Mini Pro not works. I have not installed any application that controls the data connection.
Any ideas?

Finally, i could not solve the problem, I migrated to another carrier and the problem was fixed. I think this phone has any problem with that carrier.
hi. did you tried with any other sim with same network carrier.

Yes, but, as the problem was randomly in the time, sometime works for hours and other time for 2 days, when i test another sim card whit same carrrier, the test was only few minutes.
Try with another sim card of different carrier.

No, none of that.
had the same problem
My gf's phone had the same issue, we eventually had our carrier (Claro- Colombia) replace the SIM card and everything has worked fine since (about a week). Will report if there's any change. She is using stock 2.3.4 ROM and Kernel.
It could be due to unlocked method, but not sure
I will respect to you, if you can respect to the other rest.
Sounds like you may have WAP settings instead of Internet settings. To check this please do the following:
Main menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names >
What you should have here is generally your networks name followed by the work 'Internet" whilst WAP settings are more along the lines of Vodafone Live etc.
To confirm that you have internet and not WAP settings in this location you are best to check directly with your network provider.
Hi,
The CM7-ZMOD CYANOGENMOD 7 is for me the best room for locked bootloaders! With great performance end super battery saving, but I have one problem, when I try to search for available mobile operators networks, every time it’s ending whit this error (“Error while searching for networks“) it’s impossible for me to get a roaming, I can access only my default SIM card network. Can somebody help my whit this problem please? With some fix or apk for network searching and selecting one of them?
Manny thanks for any helpful answers…
same happens here,
haven't found anything else thats not working for me just this
running on same rom, doomkernelsV6
(just to point out its not a 1man problem)
Ive bin looking in the build.prop file and the roaming says false? Could this be something to look into or am i way of base like is it just another standard setting like the ringtone says "x" tone (to lazy to go check)
Sent from my CM7 Zmod / doomkernels v6 UL BL X10!
(And all that without bricking it) so far atleast.
That roaming setting is for data connections I think. If roaming wouldn't be enabled for phonecalls you wouldn't be able to drive around in your car while being on the phone with someone.
I have tried the rom myself and I experience more or less the same thing. After startup I am not able to unlock my SIM card via pincode. Only after that step my SIM will look for networks and connect to the default network. So my phone is not connecting to a network at all, weird!!
Hi guys,
I'm having this issue on my device where if I enable hotspot, my wireless devices (win 7 laptop, iPod touch, and another android phone) can detect and connect to the network but can't connect to internet. I am on stock 4.0.4 and I used the automatic setup for APNs in the settings option.
I'm in the Philippines and on globe telecom network if it matters.
So far I tried restarting my phone, wireless devices - no go. Did a factory reset and didn't help either. Did some search over the net and no one seems to be having the same issue. I'm thinking it's carrier-related but there are very few times(about twice) over the course of my troubleshooting that my iPod connected for a while. I was able to send browse for and download for 10 minutes and didn't connect again after.
Would this be a hardware failure? Or is it just some APN settings that I need to change? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance...

Hi everybody,
first of all I have to say that the ICS-upgrade for XP was worth the waiting. It is super and many things improved. Especially battery life and the sound went better. ..
But here comes my problem:
When I connect the phone via wifi to my Fritz!Box 7390 (WPA2) I can use the network for a few seconds, but then it crashes. When I make an AP to the box with another router or a computer I can use the network normally, but I cant download anything from the Play Store. It just stucks at downloading. Browsing is ok. Sounds strange does it?
Upnp is enabled and I also tryed to forward the needed ports manually with no sucess. Of course the box has the newest firmware.
Do you have any idea?
Same problem with my Xperia P and FritzBox 7230 - tested it with WPA security and everything is fine for the moment. Can you give this a try? I´m not sure about that problem, maybe it is FritzBox related thing?

Yes, I just tryed that. It works, but when I switch to WPA I can't acess internet from my laptop anymore. Same problem with my gf's laptop. I also guess that this problem is related to the box. I 'll write an email to AVM. When I got new infos, I'm gonna post it here (assuming that collosus won't delete this thread )
I have the same issue with a FritzBox 7340. But it's firmware almost identical to the 7390. I'll test some stuff later today and report back.
Xperia P + Fritz Box
Hi Guys,
I also updated my Xperia P and started to have trouble with my Fritz Box Wireless (7340).
The problem described above seems the same as I concluded.
Does anyone have an update on this?
One strange thing, my wife also has a Xperia P and that one doesn't seem to f**k up the Wlan.
The same with Xperia U + ICS + Fritz!Box 7390

My Xperia U worked flawlessly with Ginger Bread over my Fritz!Box
Immediately after updating I got problemcs with the WiFi network and not only the mobile but the rest of the devices using WiFi were disconnected.
If the problem was on the side of the phone, in any circumstances it should freeze the network
Image that it could be possibe to block a WiFi network just turning on a buggy phone.
There must be something wrong with the Fritz!Box...
I had the same problem with the 6.1.1.B.1.10 on the Xperia U
It's an often recurring problem with this version of the firmware.
The solution was turning of 802.11n and only leave 802.11b+g enabled on the FritzBox
Some other people have had success with changing the security mode from WPA2 to something else
I solved it through opening a guest network on the Fritz!Box. It is secured with WPA. Found no other way.
Interesting test with a second Fritz!box
I have connected a second Fritz!Box 7570 to the first causing the problem ( Fritz!Box 7390).
They are connected in cascade: The 7570 has DSL, DHCP and NAT disabled and its IP address is in the range of the first one (7390) and it is connected to an ethernet port of the other one
I can connect now my Xperia to the 7570 wireless network and everything seems to work so far.
If I connect instead to the 7390 WiFi it freezes it
