Hey everyone. I'm basically wondering how to change the hostname of my note 4. When configuring my home router, and there being many, many android devices in the house, it doesn't make for an easy experience.
I did a quick search for hostname, but not a single thread came up, oddly enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Go to settings/phone name/change to custom name. When configuring your router it will show that custom name and connection address. Hope this is what you needed? Good luck

Tha's only change my Phone ID name in WiFi, BlueTooth or other network, not change my HOST NAME, that's like random numbers and letters, like: android-8ecfrjk98dfo7k25 something like that

First off I have the Sprint Vogue. Ok this morning I decided to update my phones Rom and this that and the other. I found NFSFAN's custom wm6.5 and I am loving it but now I have some issues.
Everything is loaded and partially working. I really like it but somehow and somewhere there are problem. I don't have internet access any longer, it dials out to #777 and then goes away like its connected, but when I went to update my email, weather, and then to try Skyfire.... I get no connection no internet, or something in that nature. So I looked in a few folders to look at some setting and nothing is out of order.
Here is one of my messages that I get when trying update my weather:
Couldn't establish internet interpreter.Connection
Line 1
(Temp\rartmp99.802\titaniumWeather.mscr): connect ("The Internet")
I think I may have the fix for Titanium Weather but I still need more help.
Then I get a window for:
Network Log On
Resourse: Data Connection
User Name:
Password:
Domain:
I looked at this setting in my network connection folder and press the finish button when I was done looking at the information since I couldn't find an exit button.
Another issue is my MSID is set to all zeros to the best of my knowledge is should be the same as my current phone number. I have tried ## this # that and I always dial out and an operator comes on saying the number or code entered is invalid.
Am I over thinking this or how do I fix this. I am getting frustrated with the searching and digging and not getting anywhere, can someone please help me with this?
also does it matter that my phone use to say it was the VOGU 100 and now it says its the VOGU 200
Are you with Sprint?
There is a ton of info in NFSFAN's thread regarding getting Sprint back on the internet, just search.
Thanks for that, I did use the search on this upgrading forum and couldnt find what I needed..... Thanks juddy, after a few minutes I found my answer and it all works now. All that was needed to be done was to revert to his/there 6.3, make sure that it all works and then revert back to 6.5. I am getting on the internet, weather is updating, emails are syncing onto my phone. So far so good only time will tell on how well it works. Thanks
Hi all I've been a member here since my first HTC8525 and all of you have helped me tremendously. But today I believe I need to ask for help. I just recently purchased a T-mobile HTC Touchpro 2 and brought it back to Canada to run on the Rogers network. I have unlocked the phone and set up everything fine. My only problem is that I cannot change the MMS setting in the phone Tmob has locked them out. Could anyone point me in the right direction. I have searched the threads and to no avail. Any help at all is greatly appricated. Sorry if i am repeating earlier threads.
same issue here, im trying to change the setting on my tp2 but it is locked for changes, i cant even add a new setting.
i did the changes when i had my tilt 2 but here i can't any help please.
thanks in advance
sorry for posting it when the answer was already there. but anyway you can change some of the settings via registry.
hkey local machine/software/arcsoft mms ua/config/
hope it's helpfull
then what
what other steps do you take after that?
Unlocking the device via Hard SPL to accept other ROMs will allow you to flash any of a ton of ROMs for this device that allow editing of MMS settings. Most custom ROMs are faster, lighter, and generally prettier than the stock one. Otherwise, as I recall, you'll need the IP address from the cell network to change the MMS gateway in the registry. Good luck getting that from a carrier.
Hoping someone can help me. I know I have read out there before about same issue. My 4g connects fine, stays connected, but will not load (connect ) to any web pages /network connections. It was working before and the only thing I remember having different is the new PRI . I am rooted and everything seems to work fine (except for wireless tether dropping every few minutes when using) . Can someone help me out with the 4g issue or link me to a thread that discusses the connected but not working aspect? Search engine here does not let two letter words come up in specific search so it makes it difficult. My mac Address is correct, but I forgot how to verify a good ip address, etc. Help!!

Are you using an ad blocking hosts file? If so, get rid of it. 4G doesn't work with ad blocking host files.
no I am not
Hi guys,
I opened this new thread because I already tried the search tool, even the google search, but nothing came up for the Xperia Play.
My question is, is there a way to change the wi-fi MAC address on the Xperia Play?, the reason I want to do that is because I think somebody at my job blacklisted my device from the wi-fi... some co-workers can get into the wifi network while some of us don't.
All our phones detects the WIFI network, all of us have the password (ok somebody smuggled it for us heheh )
A month ago I was able to do so, and no problem whatsoever, then it just started to get stuck while obtaining the IP address, then, disconnects from the network and get into an infinite loop not being able to sign into the network, while my desk neighbor not so-smart phone (samsung marvel) keep getting connected using the same password, so my first thought was it was only blocking smart-phones by MAC prefixes or android signature ... whatever
But yesterday another co-worker brought his just purchased Samsung Galaxy PRO (which looks like a Blackberry, but running android ), and to my surprise he did got into the wifi network without any issue (using the same password I use and gave him for trial), so I'm now pretty sure they blacklisted by MAC address
Well I manage to convince my buddy to share the network via tethering as a work around, and IT WORKED.
Anyone have an idea if what I'm thinkind is possible (being MAC blacklisted) and also if there's a way to change it on my PLAY runnin Gingerbread 2.3.3 un-rooted with stock SE SW.?
Thanks
I'm not at the pc now. Search my posts for bluetooth address with references to pocketnow tutorial for different device. Maybe you can make it work on xplay. I got one step closer locating one of the address files in one of the posts but no further. Don't know if you can do it without root.

Before I ask my question let me address the trolls that might mess up this thread and end up getting it locked.....
1. I'm not trying to ask for a guide
2. I'm not trying to debate whether is illegal or legal to have a flash evo on boost
3. I'm just asking a question, nothing more...nothing less
OK with that said, I wanted to know if anyone on Boost Mobile using the original EVO has successfully got 4G to work using Clear and if you did, how are your speeds?
The reason I'm asking is because I saw this video about a week or two ago and was like "OK, this is a joke and the guy is just full of it" BUT as I started to do my own research on it, I found that it might be possible. NOT as easy as the guy below makes it seem BUT it MIGHT be possible....

K, I'm not sure about Boost Mobile as I am not on their network, BUT, as I am on a different network myself. In my case, MobiPCS, which is basically the same type of carrier anyway. However, I'm guessing that it should apply with ye too.
I'm in the process of tying my 4G to Clear too. In fact, I've already made the modifications on my e4g to enable clearwire service on it and I've already confirmed that it works. I've as yet to actually activate my service (meaning unrestricted access to the internet) on it tho.
The reason why I think it should apply to you is that all the modifications are in the basic settings of the phone which has nothing to do with what rom you are using.
Before I start, I should mention that to cover xda and mine ass:
"You are responsible for any modifications done to your phone, the information provided are for educational and informational purposes. Any modifications done to your phone may result in an unuseable (bricked) phone which will be your responsibility to deal with. Under no circumstances will xda nor I will be held responsible for any damages or problems arising from any modifications done by you on your phone."
Ok, now that the legalese are out of the way...
Go to Phone and enter "##3282#" on the dial pad.
The phone will then initialize the EPST (don't ask me what epst means, I dunno ...yet).
It will then ask you which Mode you want to be in. I suggest View first to familiarize yourself without chance of screwing up something in there. Be aware a incorrect setting could result in a bricked phone, so be careful. When you are ready, select Edit Mode. Then phone will ask you for the MSL code. There are ways of finding out that code, but I won't get into that now, you can find that information by searching the forums.
Hit WiMAX > Realm
It probably will still be the default "sprintpcs.com." Change that string to "clearwire-wmx.net"
Hit the menu button and select "Commit Modifications." Be patient, it can take up to a few minutes for the phone to do the modifications.
You will know if the modifications took if the NAI string changes from
"[email protected]" to "[email protected]" Remember, "device_MAC_address" is the actual 12-digit MAC address of your phone. This is important: make SURE your listed mac address MATCHES the actual mac address printed on the back of the phone under the battery. If it's incorrect, I'm sure you can fix that, but you'll have to search these forums for that information as I did'nt have that problem with my e4g, but I DO have that problem with my e3D, but haven't gotten around to dealing with that (have other problems on my e3D that requires more immediate attention).
Back out of EPST and go to Setting > Wireless & networks > 4G settings. Click on 4G to turn on the antenna. It should then start saying it's connecting to network. Once connected it probably will say "Connected to Sprint" when you're actually connected to clearwire. I understand you can change the above string to "Connected to Clearwire" but I don't know how ...yet. I wanna do this myself too. Probably have to use Root Explorer (or similar software and edit something).
Go to your favorite browser and try connect to a website. Instead it should be automatically redirected to clear.com's page. This is normal when you don't have an account/service associated with the connecting device mac address. It should ask you somewhere whether you want to add this device. Click on it and it should then go to a page where it will ask you whether you want to use the connecting device. Check the bottom and make sure the mac address given there matches your device. If it is the same, you're good to go and activate service or associate that device to an existing service. Be aware that you can only have up to 3 devices associated to a given service, pending on the plan you choose. I currently have the Pick-2 plan and will soon upgrade to the Pick-3 plan which allows 3 different devices on the same account.
Once you activate new or associate an existing service to your device, Clearwire will add your mac address to it's server's list of devices authorized to connect to the clear service. And voila! your online with clear!
Hope this helps. I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be cleared to connect your boosted e4g (sorry, couldnt resist the pun).
-Lance
Thanks dude!!
Unfortunately, I called Clear today before doing all this editing and stuff AND found out that service isn't provided in the Pensacola area
I WILL keep this mind for when I'm in Jacksonville, FL which service is provided and try it out....THANKS again Lanaka!

Dude, chill. If you READ before posting, you MAY note that there is no phone cloning nor any subscriber fraud involved here. All we are doing is to tell the phone where to go connect for 4G service. No fraud involved when youre hooking up YOUR own phone to YOUR own phone and/or 4G service.
Oh another thing, ...lay off on the excessive abuse of red text. That is as tasteless as writing an entire post in ALL-CAPS.
Jeez, the immaturity of peoples nowdays....

Ahh, thats a bummers! I know the feeling bro! I dont have clear Clear coverage (pardon the pun, its NOT intentional, hehe) at home. However i have pretty good signal at most of the other places where i'd connect. I already have both mobpcs and clear services, separately tho, and generally hapy with both.

P.S.: before any other jacks start flaming away, please note the above is MY opinion only. If you aint got nothing to contribute but negativity, id rather you NOT post a reply AND keep it to yerself. Thank you very much!
For some reason when i did this. i put the clear-wmx.net in EPST and commited. after that i turned 4g on and it didnt connect to clears website it just started working but its slow and btw i dont have any type of clear account

Aloha Alienx.
Based on what you wrote it appears that you re not actually connecting to Clear's 4G service. You first must make sure that you are actually in the service coverage area. You can check by hitting their coverage map page:
http://www.clear.com/coverage
Next, check your notification bar, which service icon is on? 4G, 3G, 2X or 1X? Or is wifi on (the rainbow-like symbol)? I suspect you are either not in a service area and using 3G/2X/1X or using a slow wifi.
The reason why I think so is because if you try access Clear, their servers will first check your connecting device's mac address against their list of authorized devices. If it is not on their list your connection will auto directed to their web pages to be given an opportunity to sign up to their services. At this point you can then let them save your device's mac addy to the server's list of authorized accessing devices (assuming you signed up and paid for their services).
-Lance
PS: a final thing, make sure the EPST has the correct mac addy as your device's id. It has been know to happen where the phone's id number in the software side did NOT match what was in the hardware.
clear 4g
i have hit their home page (home dot clear dot com) on 4g using epic 4g going to add my device to my account ill let you know
