[Q] Has anyone succeeded in changing MAC address? - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm trying to change the MAC address of G PAD. I have tried various application like MACMAN or MAC address ghost after rooting the tablet. But I am still not successful. Those apps did change MAC address but, after changing, the tablet couldn't connect WIFI AP which previously worked OK.
I guess some more change is required for this tablet other than ifconfg thing, but it is wild guess.
Is there anyone who successfully changed MAC address?

Haven't tried it on the Gpad, but you could try pry-fi maybe.

I installed it but it doesn't have feature of setting MAC address I choose.
Thanks for the tip anyway and I'll monitor future upgrade of pry-fy.

Is it possible to change Mac address manually?
If it is possible, is it difficult?
Thanks for an answer.
P.S. My phone is rooted.
MAC addresses are suppose to be unique to the networking device - so you shouldnt be able to change them in theory
its a bit like a serial number...
Never tried it myself, but found this.
if they can be change don PC,why not on android device.i guess my wifi mac address has been blocked at few wifi zones.i would like to change it temporary i.e originial mac address gets restored on restart so that i can use it with the desired wifi service which has blocked me
Go into settings then About phone then Status and it should be there

So have you filtered your router so only some devices can be connected?

Possible to change my IP address?

In Windows you can reset the router, ipconfig/release and all that jazz...is there a way to reset (change) the IP address of an Android phone?
Thanks!
use termanal emulator and type su for super user access and then ifconfig becasue android is linux based

And this will change my phone's IP address? Wow, thanks!
Toggle airplane mode. After you reconnect, you'll get a different IP.
Neither of those seem to work...
What specific IP address are you trying to change?
How is your android device connecting to the internet?
Just turn mobile network off and on. That will give you new ip.

You can use some Android Apps to change IP address. Get the app from appszoom.com and install it. After which you can check the change in your ip address using Ip-details.com
Use a proxy.
I guess you can bump a 2 year old thread

[Q] Samba Fileshare

Using Samba file share on my G tab, works like a dream.
On the HTC Incredible however a different story. My Winows Xp and 7 sees the phone but will not give me access.
Any suggestions?
Can't really help, only to say that I've used it with Mac OS X many times with no problems.

Same here. Samba works fine on my Eris and Nook. Different story on the Inc.
I can usually connect as soon as I turn on Samba. After the initial file transfer, I normally lose connectivity. If I remember correctly, I was able to regain access once after rebooting my pc. Even then it's only temporary.
I've google searched for answers to no avail. I haven't yet reached out to the developer.
I think I read somewhere it's about HTC devices blocking ip broadcast or something like that...I don't remember. (Sorry I know this thread it old, but just happen to come upon it.)
I just use File Expert from the market. Then you can tell it to enable web sharing and ftp sharing and then transfer things back and forth as needed.
Samba works for me using HTC Droid Incredible rooted S-off. Didn't have to do anything special either. I would suggest turning on all the wake locks in Samba's settings.

+1 works great for me. Been using it for like 6 months now.
I couldn't get it right to work on my dx, I forgot about the app. Thanks for the little reminder.
I do remember hearing about the block on ip broadcast. One workaround i think I remember is to connect to the ip address rather than the name, ie \\xx.xx.xx.xx.

Newer versions of samba have the ip broadcast / netbios name issue fixed. I can access my droid by its netbios name. However it does not show up on my pc under network, but i can type \\DINC or \\ip# into the address bar and access the phones files on the sd and emmc.
Works great for me to. Samba using Dinc and Windows 7 and Windows Vista computer. Setup was a breeze.

[Q] Change ip ?

cant find a way to change my ip address (wifi)
when you use a repeater that connects to your gateway, you cant connect through the default ip. I need to assign one
any way?
Using AOKP jb
Are you sure you've got your wifi network configured properly? Ive got a similar setup (main router upstairs that hands out IP addys, another router acting as repeater downstairs that I connect to) and I dont have any issues...

Well mine is the modem connected to a switch. An access point connectec to that and a repeater afterwards xD so yeah the ip address that the windows/android generates cannot connect to the gateway
There.might be a way to optimize this but am also curious about changing the ip address of my phone

Your modem is the DHCP server, so that is what should be assigning an IP, not windows or andriod. If you cant hit your gateway (which should be your modem BTW), changing your IP wont fix your issue. Youve got a disconnect somewhere.
That said, first you need the subnet of your DHCP pool. Something like 192.168.1.100-200. That info is in your router/modem. Then, just manually change the IP of your phone to an IP in that subnet.

You are absolutely right. but I can hit my gateway. I mostly have a problem with the dhcp assigning wrong IPs and I still cant sort it out. But am assigning the clients manually to different IP in my subnet and everything works fine

I would suspect that the repeater is handing out IP's as well. I believe what you are looking for is a repeater bridge which would connects wireless a to wireless a but b doesn't do any routing just passes it along to a. Here's a picture.

Reserve a IP on your first router

what I cant understand is, after I made adjustments. Any pc connects normally with an appropriate IP (DHCP)
Just my phone (havent tried another), although he gets a correct IP and connects but I never get access to the internet.
Bump !!
a sad one
long press the wifi SSID and modify ... glad I got all the help here -_-

why is it illegal? my router clones my PCs mac address. is that illegal?
ip link (lists the current interfaces)
then
ifconfig blahblah0 down
ifconfig blahblah0 hw ether 00:11:A2:B3:C4:5D
ifconfig blahblah0 up
This works on a regular linux machine. I'm not sure if it works on a android. if it doesn't, a reboot reverts the changes.
