Hi,
since i updated from 2.1 to 2.2 android, my desire is connecting to my wlan with a hostname (like android_a1becb15640fa93a ).
is it possible to hide that hostname or to change it?
i dont want other ppl to see my desire when iam at a different wlan
any suggestions?
Is it not possible to change the name on the router its what I do with mine so I know what's on my network, for example change it tp HTC desire, using an o2 wireless box
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
hm ye.
but i was using t-mobile 2.1 rom before and my desire had no visible hostname.
after flashing leedroid's 2.2 rom, my phone now appears with "android_a1becb15640fa93a" as a hostname everytime i login to a wlan spot.
i just want to remove the hostname again, just like it was before (with the 2.1 rom t-mob)
Hi,
I would also be interested in the answer - same thing, after flashing Leedroid the Name "android_blahblah" appears on the network. Doesn't look very nice and I'd like to have a custom hostname ;-)
any new info on this?

Confirmed to work on Samsung Galaxy I9000 aswell.

hostname on wlan for android 2.2 - 2.3 galaxy-tab
edit /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd.conf with root explorer and add a line like this:
interface eth0
hostname galaxy-tab ##### added line #######
option subnet_mask, routers, domain_name_servers
disable/enable wlan and yor router should recognize your device by name now.

I can't find Device hostname on this place, it is possible that this comes from Rom?
Give it a way to change the Hostname of Desire without using a app?
And why is that option not found by wlan settings?
*Push*
nobody who can helps me?
I will change the devicename (hostname) in first case to the company wifi
Hello
I am also not able to find the
Settings > Applications > Development > Device hostname (change it) and Save.
I finally figured it out and made a script that does this, it should work on all devices.

Hello,
I've problems to connect with some access points with the current MIUI version.
The SSID was found, I set the pass and then the connection was rejected. If I try with Froyo 2.2.2 it works fine.
I've tested different access point configurations:
- b/g/n
- b/g
- g only
- WPA/WPA2
- WPA TKIP only
In the Milestone section I've read, that this phone has the same problems and a ROM version from eybee will solve this. Is there a fix for the Delfy, too?

Does android / gingerbread support IPV6? I see some files in the system pertaining to it but cant seem to find an ipv6 address anywhere. Also my router does not show a ipv6 address for my phone.
Depends on Kernel, mostly only Custom Kernel support it. See my signature.
Does anyone know if CyanogenMod-7.1 can be configured to connect to a wifi with a manual or automitic wifi proxy?
Cyanogen Mod 7.1 Android 2.3.7 Proxy Issues
I am having the same problem. I have tried all the proxy apps available on the market. None of them work. Please help.
I have gone over the problems people have had with " WiFi Tether " on this device and have deduced it down to the WAP ( wifi access points ) settings. I can't for the life of me figure out how to change the settings though. When connected to the computer via wifi, FoxFi will give and error on connection of " limited access ". FoxFi will work on all my phones but this model ( even the new LG Nexus 5 ). If anyone can give me some directions on changing the WAP settings to allow WAP2 on this device please post as soon as possible....Thank you.....
* DEVELOPERS, PLEASE PUT A FIX FOR THIS IN YOUR ROMS THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
