Tried to download the new Skype app Verizon released today from skype dot com/vzw and I get the "There are no matches in Android Market for the search com.skype.android.verizon
Am wondering if it's because I updated my phone to the leaked 2.1 and it's looking for 1.5 or ???
Anyone else tried this, especially anyone that's still on 1.5?
Thanks in advance for any info.
I'm getting that same result when searching for almost any app I'm trying to download. Even when using the QR code to an app I know is active in the market, my phone doesn't find any results.
It's wearing me out. Hope someone has an explanation. I have a feeling it is due to the leaked 2.1.

The android Market filters what apps show up due to your system version. So if you are running 2.1, like I am, and you try to find an application that only runs on an OS up to say... 1.5, then it won't show up.. :/
I tried this method....and it didnt work for me,but I am on a custom ROM, if you have the 2.1 OTA with root, you might be able to do this..
I didn't modify any files, I just did a bit of researching and found this
download this file:
www(dot)sendspace(dot)com/file/rnwab1
it is supposedly the 2.1 release version.
MD5sum= 5dc96431fae1be1aa51d7c50889273a5
then put this on the root of your SDcard
next, download installer from the android market and then run it... then select the zip file from the list and install..
---when I tried opening skype, it said "skype can only be used on verizon wireless phones"
I would like to know if this works for anyone...
this is a network issue not a version issue. most apps are designed to run on 1.5 so your past version check argument is a bust. but Verizon has not registered our device as being 2.1 compliant and until they do we will not have full functionality of the market. that's the way of the root game. us rooters being on the bleeding edge of android get locked out of a few things till our carrier catches up.

I sort of figured as much, and was after some happy logical confirmation type thinking which you've provided.
I don't really mind, just wanted to make sure that was why, and not something I was doing incorrectly.
Thanks.
Would make the GTab way more useful for me... The only problem I have is installing the TUN/TAP driver...
Since the kernel source hasn't been released, we can't compile the tunnel module... yet. It seems to be my luck that all the devices I have Android-wise haven't had their source released yet... GTab or Droid2. Ugh.
+100000000 I've gotten a taste for it by RDP'ing into my home computer and using OpenVPN to get into work so I can't wait for working TUN/TAP driver!!! Will complete my wishlist for this device
Thought I'd pop this back to the top - aren't the sources out now?
I for one would love to see this as well... makes life easier to get into my work server... Please someone... HELP..
Now if only I knew how....
I think rothnic was testing VPN support in the kernel when he compiled in CIFS and NTFS support, and it borked the Wifi. I am sure they'll get it sorted out soon.
Any word on OpenVPN support? I feel like I'm begging despite it being my first (er, second I mean) question about it, but it's really important to those who need it, despite being a small group.
OpenVPN Working
Hey folks I got OpenVPN working. I had to do a lot of little tricks on both ends but the thing that sealed the deal on the client side was to use gscript to enable the tap0 interface that is created when OpenVPN connects to my server.
Since I have the OpenVPN server on one side and I administer it I just set the IP statically on the GTablet.
I use tap0 based on my configuration
/system/xbin/ifconfig tap0 172.16.x.x netmask 255.255.0.0 mtu 1500 up
Just wish I understood OpenVPN better......
which rom?
Which rom are you running? I'm running TnT. I can't find a tun/tap for it.

ROMS used

Hey JungleGym I am currently using VeganTab 5.1 but I have gotten it to work on various ROMS (TNTLite and ZPad) Generally I end up using the kernel compiled by clemsyn but I am starting to question that it is needed. If I have a chance I might try to make this work with no kernel change. Usually use the two OpenVPN apps on the market, the installer and the settings app for the installer I use the xbin folder for the install and ifconfig location. Finally decked out the tablet so I am less prone to wipe and do whatever but with TNTLite with a new point revision out I am tempted to try it.
If anyone can help with this, I’d really appreciate it. I have been a little disappointed since plunging into Android that for whatever reason, the email app (not Gmail) doesn’t have a “move to folder” option. I’ve had this option on WinMo and Symbian phones so I found it hard to believe that functionality wasn’t in Android. FYI, I am currently running CM 6.1.1.
Well I bought my wife a Samsung Epic 4G for Christmas and lo and behold, the email app on her device has that option! Her phone is rooted and running the Epic Experience ROM. I have tried, to no avail, to put the email app from her phone onto my N1. I have the apk file, have tried to just install as is, have tried pushing via adb, even tried inserting it into the CM ROM zip file in place of the one that was in there. So far I’m not even close. So here are my questions:
Are there any ROMs for the N1 that have this function included?
If not, is it possible to install this in place of the email app in CM?
I’m rather fond of CM and would rather do the latter if it’s possible. I was able to get as far as getting the file signed, and the closest I got after that, I received the error:
INSTALL FAILED MISSING SHARED LIBRARY
With over 200 lib files in the Epic ROM, I have no idea which one(s) would be necessary to make this work. Both phones have Android 2.2.1.
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated!
No help on this at all? C'mon folks, I know we've got some smart people in here that can make this work!
Hey every1!
I was wondering if any kernel developer is doing anything to get the wiimote to work on the note?
Cause if im not mistaken u need the "original" bluetooth thingy from vanilla to get that to work on the note, or am i completely wrong here?
I would love for it to work on the note, simply because i have four wiimote´s at home
I do know that a better choice is to use sixaxis and the ps3 controller, but i wan´t to have the choice... And i do suck in coding so...
Is there any chance to get it to work "outside" of a kernel? Like a script or something? I do like to be able to do some undervolting and hence do like to use abysskernel for example.
Update March 25, 2013:
Solved!! The folks over at Thinktube Inc. have developed a fix and submitted it to CyanogenMod and AOSP for merging into their code:
http://b-real.org/2013/ad-hoc-ibss-m...h-cyanogenmod/
http://www.thinktube.com/android-tech/46-android-wifi-ibss
Essentially the EASIEST solution is to ROOT your phone, and install the CyanogenMod nightly as of March 25 or later (note: you will have to wait until the nightly is actually BUILT, since as of today it is not ready yet).
I have not tested this solution out myself, however others within this thread have confirmed it working.
Please if anyone develops a easier patch or a step-by-step for people who do NOT want to use CyanogenMod, post and I will update the OP
Cheers!

-------------------------------------------------------
Update Oct 9, 2012:
- Nexus 7 v4.1.2 did not add Wi-Fi Ad-Hoc Support with the stock update from Google.
To do: Check if any WPA-Supplicant changes previously tested in v4.1.1 now work in 4.1.2
- Workaround (Recommended): Bluetooth Tethering to Nexus 7 Tablet (via Bluetooth DUN Profile). "BlueVPN" from Google Play Store.
Tested successfully on many Nokia Symbian phones (N7, E71, E72), and others.
However, many applications on Nexus 7 Tablet do not support it (without fixes from the developers)
Confirmed working applications:
- Pulse
- Google Chrome
- Dolphin Browser
- Facebook
- Ebuddy
- Youtube
- Others (I am too lazy to add them all)
Confirmed NOT working applications:
- Gmail
- Email
- Google Search
- Google Play Store
- Dropbox
- Words with Friends
- Scramble with Friends
- Others (I am too lazy to add them all)
More details can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29763582&postcount=27
Issue: Sometimes the phone/tablet do not connect (randomly), due to issues with either the phone or the tablet.
To resolve: Turn on and off bluetooth on phone, Turn on & off bluetooth on tablet. Try again. If does not work, reboot phone and tablet and try again. Should work.
-Workaround: Android Phone to Nexus 7 Tablet (via "FoxFI" App on Phone, "FoxFi Addon" App on Tablet, or via "PDANet", or via "Wireless Tether App")
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29763582&postcount=27
- Workaround: USB Tethering ANY Phone to Nexus 7 Tablet (via "PPP Widget" App on Tablet, requires rooted Nexus 7)

Hi All,
I've just recently gotten a Nexus 7 and need to be able to enable Ad-Hoc wifi on the tablet.
I also own a Asus TF101 and previously had the same problem however there was a fix for that.
The solution was to replace the wpa_supplicant file in the /system/bin folder, however I do not know the code to change it.
If anyone has the technical know-how, they would be able to reverse-engineer it and apply the same fix.

I posted a possible solution in QnA section. Thread title is similar to this one. Check it out. Doesn't involve any coding. Prime had a similar issue on a few firmware updates. This was solved for us(before Asus came around to enabling it themselves) by adding in a wifi supplicant file and renaming an older one. Then setting permissions on the new file. Here is the link to that thread. There's a good chance it will work without the file needing to be modded. It came from a galaxy tab LR something and worked fine on prime. Its worth checking out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1438297
thanks for the tip and I tried it out, which is essentially the same type of solution but it didn't think work as there is no wpa_supplicant2 file in the nexus 7.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777413
here's some more useful information for enabling ad hoc:

I'm doing what I can right now to try and enable it.
Some more experienced android users whom know what they're doing would be better than me trying it out, though!!
Did any of those sources of information get you any closer to enabling ad-hoc?
Just FYI that Nexus S "ad hoc enabling file" doesn't work on NS with Jelly Bean.

None yet, I need some help to do so. There is a file called "wpa_cli" that I need copied from another device, because I can't find it on the internet.
If anyone could find it in their "/system/bin" folder and attach it to this tread, I could certainly try it.
I've also requested the same thing in the Q&A forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1793437
Bumping; I have the same condition. I'm in Italy and bought an internet package for my laptop--I'm sharing it with all my other devices but the N7 doesn't see the adhoc connection. Like OP said, I had a Transformer TF101 and remember flashing a file to fix it.
Thanks in advance.
Just an FYI: Also checked my GNex for a wpa_cli and came up empty.
Just wanted to give quick update, i have not been able to find anyone to help me and also my life is kinda hectic right now... Hopefully someone will be able to pick up where I left off, in the meantime my nexus 7 is pretty much useless to me until resolved.
One more "me too".
I'm here to share my sympathy to everyone else's pain as I have a nexus 7 that I can't connect to my phone's adhoc Hotspot. I have also posted my query in Android Central, but no one seems to have been able to know a fix as of yet. (topic can be found here: Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com > Google Nexus 7 Tablet Forum > Nexus 7 Rooting ROM's & Hack's > *** CONNECTING TO Adhoc WiFi WITH THE NEXUS 7 ***)
As I said in that thread.. not being able to connect to phones hotspot makes my beautiful nexus 7 feel like a handicapped tablet.

I haven't seen any reports/posts of people checking out or trying what I mentioned in post #2..lol. on prime we had this exact same problem. Then we found the supplicant file to replace one we had and then adhoc tethering worked after that. You only need to be rooted to do this as you need to rename a file and insert new supplicant in there and set permissions. You can always backup and rename original file. So if it doesn't work, you can easily revert back to stock file. I have a feeling this new file will work. Just haven't tried myself yet as I haven't brought tablet outdoors yet to need tethering. I might eventually see if it works if no one else does.
Look at the thread I linked in second post and you will see prime owners had exact same problem and we solved it. It worked for the transformer 300 also. Will likely work for nexus 7 also. The file is, in a sense, universal.

I have tried. It does not work -- WiFi refuses to turn back on with this new supplicant file. And yes, I made sure to follow your instructions exactly as described in the procedure.
With the N7, there is no such thing as a wpa_supplicant2 file originally in /system/bin (only the one without the '2' exists in the N7 which is the one running the show here, I know this for a fact as when restoring this file, the WiFi in the N7 becomes functional again). So I tried this same file you provide both with and without the '2', with no better results.
I suspect that only a developer that knows what he's doing would be able to come up with a new wpa_supplicant file specifically tweaked for the N7 (as opposed to using one that did the trick for the Prime or for the Xoom or whathaveyou).
Thanks for the suggested idea though... anything else you think we should try?

They likely will implement it through a future update. Hopefully that's sooner than later. Ill ask motley, kernel developer.
I toyed with this for a while...
If you install Power Controls (Power Controls) you can add a button that turns on the Wifi Hotspot.
Problems:
you cant change any settings in current settings UI
Appears to be default "Android_AP" SSID and whatever the default password is (i dont recall if this is a random code or not)
Its a start!

Could you explain exactly what this does? I didn't understand what it is being implied with this being a start? with this you can actually connect to adhoc?
idk if anyone has looked...but has anyone looked into editing the Wifi-Direct api to make adhoc networks visible in there? Since wifi-direct is made for p2p connections. it's android.net.wifi.p2p.WifiP2pManager info about it is here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/wifip2p.html like I said...don't know if it's much help
I also wanted to post a quick reply, since I've been an insomniac yesterday.
From my previous posts I posted this link here as well, I edited the wpa_supplicant.conf file from the /system/etc/wifi folder and modified with the following settings, however I don't think that it even reads the wpa_supplicant.conf file either. Can anyone either confirm or deny that the wpa_supplicant.conf file is being used on the N7??

wikid24: I don't know if N7 (or my NS) reads this file but it definitely reads /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf. Only problem is that I can't turn wifi on after ANY change in this file. Sometimes even if I revert my backup file, wifi won't launch and I must delete it to make wifi working again.
I found this thread on XDA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806937
It is edited wpa_supplicant file for Asus Transformer but it allows me to turn on wifi even on NS. But it doesn't show me any ad hoc networks. Maybe with non-stock kernel...?
And I also found ad hoc patch for source code of older version of wpa_supplicant. But I'm not able to try if it is possible to apply it on JB version too.

jenda, I think you may have solved a big piece to the puzzle!!
You can copy the file to another directory, and THAN you can open the file! I noticed I had all my pre-saved wifi addresses in this file!
If someone can please copy the "/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf" file to another directory, modify it, than overwrite the old file, it should work!! *fingers crossed*
(unfortunately I am busy for a few days, don't know if I'll be able to make the change for a while)
