Why do people always mistake the S and ours -.-"
I mean, it's not like there's a picture on the main forum, that differs us from the S.

Ranting aside, from what I know is that the MAC address is tied to your wireless adapter, so changing it might prove difficult.

This isn't really a Desire specific annoyance, I think it's since Android 2.1
All contacts with the same name would automatically merge on the phone, although they are different people (with the same name)
Does anyone know how to stop the contacts merging ?
You mean,they have same name and surname?
In that case,you can use their miidle name or nickname.

But the database is used for business so they don't have nicknames and a lot of them don't have middle names, so the only way is if there's a way to turn it off or remove the code to do it
let me try to sum what you are trying to say
1. Xavier Spencer 12321456
2. Xavier Spencer 13546798
i dont really think this is a problem "frankly". just my opinion ....

I'm not being funny...but exactly how many people with the same first AND last name do you have on your phone?
Seems like a pretty rare problem. I've seen people with the same name on the Exchange server at work and they all then have to provide a middle initial. Failing that we all have our departments abbreviation at the end of our name.

Pretty sure the question is, "does anyone know how to stop the contacts merging", NOT do u agree this is a problem...
I had problem with Name and Name*, they were merged so i ended up sending nasty message to neighbor instead my girlfriend...

I am pretty sure that this is not a problem. I don't see how anyone can tell by the name that it is a different person if it is the same name . Unless u are a psychic

I got contact pictures for every person, so yes I do know the difference between them, but when they merge I can no longer recognise each person
And you all have your opinion whether you think this is an issue or not, but I'm just simply asking does any of you know how to stop it, I don't care whether you think there's a need to stop it
Just put the company name as Lastname.
So Mr Joe Another from Contoso Corp would be
First Name: Joe
Last Name: Another Contoso
Whilst Joe Another from Kebabs Limited would be
Joe
Another Kebabs
?
I wish I could do that with them all, I'd be happy with that, but my dad has the same annoyance and he has a bit of OCD so it's all got to be perfect
If no one knows, I'll try opening up the APK later and try stopping it myself

Once again you appear to have missed the question...
Anyway I think the point is that most non-android handsets would ask if you wanted to merge the contacts or create them separately instead of assuming they should automatically be merged. This isn't specific to just business contacts, my father and I have the same name (which by no means is an uncommon occurrence) so anyone with an Android handset would have both our numbers in the one contact. This is far from ideal and although there may be workarounds such as nicknames, there should be a better solution.
Try this:
Create new contact with same name.
Save contact then open it.
You should see link icon in the top right corner.Click on it,then select Clear suggestions.
After that,you will have 2 contacts with same name.
Just tested for myself. It works!

Why not?
+1 I'm also interested
why not indeed.
I'm also interested in changing my MAC.
I'm planing to hack into the NSA network from my desire, so I need to know.
But wait what?
The MAC address is replaced at the next router with it's own address?
Aw crap...
um, I think it might come in handy when I'm going to use my desire to hack into wireless networks, yep, you know, wardriving and such and hacking WPA networks on the fly.
now this could be fun
but I may need a couple of thousand more desire phones running parallel to accomplish that in my lifetime.

I would to have it too. so that I could unban myself when my college network block my mac..

Is they any way to change the host name for my Desire's wifi address? Because when connected to a wireless router it uses the IMEI number in the host name. Android_IMEI
I don't think there is... There might be in an xml somewhere though, but is it really important?

I don't really no. I've seen people not post there IMEI number on forums for some reason. If your connected to a public wifi router they could see your phones IMEI.
I just thought if there was an easy way to change it then I would, but it doesn't bother me that much.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

CyanogenMod allow to change the hostname of the device by a settings..but i dont know if there is a file where u can change it in any other rom
I bought a used HTC one x from a friend, apparently he got blocked from several apps including "skout" which I really love ):
anws I tried changing the android id by using sqlit&root explorer, but when I restart the phone it doesn't function, that forced me to do factory reset
I bought titanium backup to change the ID, and used tore to change the IPadress also no luck ...still blocked ,tried to use android id changer, but it doesn't really work, I searched endlessly in Google and no luck):
good people in xda I really hope that you can help me to fix this problem since I'm a newbie in the development area.
Awaiting your response, thank you...

First, Your topic subject isn't helping, no one wants to open a topic little help or things like that... Give useful clear information about what you actually want to say (After all the name explains it, it's the SUBJECT of what you want to say)
Second, what you're doing is somewhat illegal, bans and blocks are there for a reason, even if you're telling the truth (which hopefully you are) people don't help you cross this boundaries this easily...
Third, bit of help from me, if you actually bought the phone from a friend who did that and not you or your brother/sister, that means you're using a different internet connection and you don't need to change your IP address, something like tor won't help.
Does anyone know how to spoof MAC address of S4 Mini? Tried ghost address app, but cannot connect to any wifi.
I was thinking of using the terminal app (rick of bricking) but unsure of coding to do so
Also is there a way to do this permanently or is it always temp?
Any help or guidance would be great, I have searched the forums but help or advice only comes up for different models not the S4 Mini.
Cheers
Anyone?
Tried it via the terminal app and also MAC Spoofer but still unable to change?

A lot of stuff in unrelated threads is sometimes applicable to anything Android. This might be of use, the files mentioned do exists on the S4 mini.There is another link in that post which appears it might be useful too as well as the other things in the thread it is posted in
