[Q] Best ROM for enterprise wifi - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm new to the forums but I have tried to read through as much as I can. I updated to 2.2 last week with the update from samsung. I knew that the "update" wouldn't work any better with my work's wifi connection but I wanted to try anyways.
My question is, out of all the roms out there, do any of them work using 802.1x security with authentication through peap and mschapv2?
I can see our network but can't connect to it, our radius servers don't even see my connection attempts. I work in the school's IT department so we have spent a pretty fair amount of time trying to make this work. Not just for me, but for other android users as well.
I've tried using a few of the wifi apps but none of them seem to help.
I am using a samsung captivate on att, not rooted.
Thanks for any help

Add the network manually and select the right authentication method. In settings>wireless

Thanks for the reply but I've been through the whole wifi menu and tried different settings and I can't seem to get anything to work so I was thinking of rooting and loading a rom if enterprise wifi connections are better.

Any rom is basically going to work the same as far as wifi goes. As long as you can select the settings to match your network as shown in the screenshot, it should work.

Not always. If he needs and ad-hoc connection he needs to use a different wpa_supplicant than the one that comes with stock and many of the custom roms. As well, it is possible that the dhcpcd on the rom he is running is not capable to obtain ip/dns/subnet from his particular network.
Take a look here for the dhcp info and here for the supplicant thingy (not sure if is compatible with galaxy s, there was one for SGS floating around but cant find it atm)
If still doesnt work, it should work by editing the bcm... something.conf in data (i dont have my phone with me.)
EDIT: Im using my phone with LEAP / IPsec and is a pain to configure it without an app that someone made for this specific network configuration

[Q] Proxy connection for all apps?

hi,
is there an app for connecting to a proxy (mine is http) and to use this proxy setting for all apps (including maps, market, talk, skype..... etc)?
the default proxy setting only enable browsing but usually it's not enought...
i've tried proxydroid from the market, it is supposed to have a lot of interesting features (and is free) but when it is enabled my apps don't use the proxy for connecting (even the browser doesnt), but skype does!!
anyone tried it or has any other app to suggest?
thanks
bye
Alessandro
I use ASProxy. It's available through the Market and does a great job on my HTTP proxy using AD Authentication.
Does this look like the apps or questions forum???

sorry for the wrong forum i posted...
i tried asproxy but it didnt work too!!!
with the standard build-in proxy only the browser works, but with asproxy NOTHING works any longer!!
it seems that the galaxy tab has no iptables support
btw: asproxy doesnt support the refund even after few minutes
any other suggestion?
thanks
bye
Try this...
With stock rom 2.3.3 go to
Settings --> WiFi-settings
Menu button --> Advanced
Set proxy and Port.
I don't know if this works with a 2.2 rom or if this is only for the browser.

the stock proxy feature is just for browser both in 2.2 and 2.3
in the meantime i asked the asproxy developer a few help, we tried several configurations and even a beta version of asproxy but at the very end it didn't work (at least on my network).
btw: after we realized that it didn't work, the developer issued a refund for me.
bye
After several months still no news
Many new android releases...
2.3 until 2.3.7 : no proxy support
4.0.3: no proxy support
Now I think it will never come!

Anyone know a fix for getting Brighthouse TV app to work on our rooted device?

Has to be a ton of us, Brighthouse customers, out there pissed off about this
Sent from my aokpcb_tenderloin using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
Got it working...
File is attached below.
Uninstall original, if installed, then install this one.
Also make sure any reference to "test-keys" in build.prop are changed to "release-keys"
N3M3515
Because only certain tablet types have been authorized by Bright House, could changing the manufacturer in build.prop have any relevance..additionally, what does changing "test-keys" to "release keys"actually accomplish?
almost there...
thanks n3m35155 for the modified APK, works like a charm
for anyone else wondering.. you also have to be on a brighthouse networks connection to use this app.. so to be clear, you need a non rooted device (or the above apk from n3m35155) and must also be on a brighthouse network.. but here is the kicker, not just ANY brighthouse network you also have to have a TV subscription service on the brighthouse network that you are connecting from.
i am at my work right now, who has brighthouse internet (business class) but no TV subscription and trying to use their connection with my brighthouse services login credentials prompts me with an error saying you must use an authorized brighthouse networks connection blah blah blah.. so i decided i would connect to VPN (to my network, which is authorized) and the app tells you that you must first disable VPN before streaming any video.
so i guess my question is, n3m35155 or anyone else, is it possible to modify the apk (once more) to remove the check for VPN? i mean its not like im trying to gain access to stuff that i dont have.. for an app that toutes you can watch TV on the GO.. you sure can go very far before the many stupid restrictions take effect.
wrong file

Fake access point on wifi list att s5

Hello
I have a rooted att s5 and in my wifi list I seem to have had 2 access points that were fake? Cad005 and Dre tega.
both were wpa2 secured with Mac id's of 000000 by xerox corp (I used wifi analyzer).
I was afraid I was hacked downloaded malware bytes lookout avg no virus or malware. I removed some questionable apps (always from play store. ...anyways after reboot it's gone.
When they were showing no other devices showed them as being access points? They always had th e same fixed signal strength in wifi analyzer
Any ideas?

Maybe. But the signal strength never varied while walking or driving which was kinda wiered. Anyway hasn't recurred since. Thanks
Same thing happened to me
Same thing happened to me with my stock ATT S5 (with the recent OTA - G900AUCU2ANG3). In my case, the access points are legit, but from a town I was in yesterday, 50 miles away. The MAC addresses are all zero and say Xerox in WiFi Analyzer (I suspect Xerox has the OID of zero, but haven't looked it up.)
It will probably clear up with a reboot, but it's strange that old access points that previously had a signal for are still showing up with a -80dB signal in both WiFi Analyzer and in Settings/Wireless.
From an earlier post, it looks like you did the update, too. I wonder if this is a new "feature"?
the samething,see a screenshot。。。

Ive not had the problem since i reset my phone (wipe). I still use WiFi analyzer and no recurrence. Might it have to do w the wifi driver made by wifi analyzer? Did others affected install that?

[2.1+][FREE][Ads-Free] Wifi Password Manager (Root)

Have you ever been in a situation where you needed to connect to a Wi-Fi network, but couldn’t remember the password? Or maybe there’s a network you’ve connected to with your jailbroken device, but now you need to access that network on your Mac or PC.
Well, the days of forgotten Wi-Fi passwords for computers may be a thing of the past. Wifi Password Manager is a new Google Playstore application that will list all saved Wi-Fi passwords that you’ve connected to from your rooted android device. Of course, in order for this app to be useful for the situation I mentioned, you must have previously connected to a specific network from your device in the past.
That being said, if you have built good list of remembered networks, and you need to connect to one of them from a computer, this little android application will definitely come in handy.
Once Wifi Password Manager is installed, instead of asking around for the Wi-Fi password, launch the app, tap on “Wi-Fi Password,” then select “Known Networks.” This option is made available via Wifi Password Manager and it will display a list of all known network names and their associated passwords.
Yes, my Wi-Fi password is “animalfarm.” Don’t judge me.
On top of that, you’ll be able to tap on a network in the list and copy the SSID or password. From there, you can sms or even whatsapp the information to someone or write it down and be on your way to connectivity back at your computer. It may not seem like much, but I can think of many situations where this little application would have saved the day.
The best part is, Wifi Password Manager is completely free. And for now ad-free! If this had been available in the past, I would have easily paid at least $0.99 to save me from a forgotten Wi-Fi password nightmare. Thankfully, it’s available now and you can install it via Google Playstore for free. There are no options to configure for this application.

Unlimited Tethering Method Question

I am on T-Mobile
I know of the build.prop edit way, and the sqlite way .. Being on T-Mobile, which one of these methods is the correct way to enable unlimited data tethering?
Dirty Unicorns shamu
Anyone?
SimpleAOSP shamu
SQLlite. I am on a T-Mobile unlimited plan with no tethering allotment, and it works perfectly with the sqllite edit.
Not trying to be a douche, but you shouldn't bump a post earlier than 24 hours has passed. it's in the rules here.
Didn't know that sorry to the mods/forum..and thanks for the clarification on the tether issue
SimpleAOSP shamu
I am having problems with tethering. I have it working with the tether_dun_required 0 using sqlite
My problem is really strange it still accumulates on my t-mobile account.
I go to my account in t-mobile where I have 3GB of tethering
and it still shows up as MB's used and even stranger is the fact that I am using GB's but it only registers to my account as MB's.
Notification states wifi hotspot is on but no device connected.
This is a recent issue because up until a couple of days ago nothing registered to my account I am at a loss at what to try next.
I have tried on multiple roms with the same result anyone have any ideas?
