Has anyone figured out how to set a static IP on the Nexus Q? I have not unlocked my Q yet, but I am planning on doing so since my network only supports static IPs. Has anyone taken a crack at it yet or will I be blazing a trail here?
It's very easy:
If you cannot connect to your wifi network automatically you need to do it manually, if you can do automatically, just jump these steps:
1. go to system settings
2. click on wifi
3. click on add network
4. enter your network ssid
5. choose your security
6. enter your password for you network
7. click save
After that you network is set you need to long press (long mouse click) on the network name and it will show you 2 options: "Forget network" and "Modify network"
1. Click "Modify network", roll the screen a little
2. Mark the "Show advanced options" checkbox, roll more
3. Change the IP settings to "Static" and do your show
4. Click save and have fun.
Cheers!

Password Leave blank
Bearer GPRS
I have entered some of these settings into the Connection that MMS seems to be using but I dont know where to put in the
IP Port and Server URL
Can any one help
Thanks
I don't know which version of windows your using as the MMS composer is different in WM2003SE. I can tell you how I got mine working and its a 2 stage process:
Part 1
1. Create a new connection by coing to Start->Settings->Connections and tap on the Connections icon.
2. Tap on the "Advanced" tab and then tap on the "Select Networks" button.
3. Tap on the lower one of the two "New..." buttons, i.e. the one below the "My Work Network" drop down menu.
4.0 On the "General" tab, enter a name of "Virgin MMS".
4.1 On the "Modem" tab, tap on the "New..." button.
4.3 Enter a name for the connection of "Virgin MMS", select a modem type of "Cellular Line (GPRS)" and then tap on the "Next" button.
4.4 Enter an access point name of "goto.virginmobile.uk" and then tap on the "Next" key.
4.5 Enter a user name of "user", ensure that all other fields are empty and then tap on the "Finish" button.
4.6 On the "Proxy Settings" tab, ensure that the "This network connects to the Internet" is NOT ticked" and then tap on the "ok" button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
4.7 In the drop down menu for "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:", change this back to "My Work Network" (or whatever was in this field before you started this process).
5. You can now exit from the Settings screens as Part 1 is complete.
Part 2
1. You need to go into MMS composer.
2. In WM2003SE you need to go into the "Tools->MMS Settings" option.
3.0 On the "Preferences" tab, in the "Connect via:" option, enter/select "Virgin MMS".
3.1 On the "Servers" tab, tap on the "New" button.
3.2 Enter a "Server name:" of "Picture Message"
3.3 Enter a "Gateway:" of "193.30.166.1".
3.4 Enter a "Port number:" of "9201". Don't worry if you don't have a "Port number:" field as the system will default to this anyway.
3.5 Enter a "Server address" of "http://mms.virginmobile.co.uk:8002" and then tap on the "OK" button.
3.6 Tap on the "ok" button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
That's the end of the two stages and you should now be able to send picture and video messages (I've tried both).
Two things to be aware of:
1. The send/receive does seem to take ages.
2. Don't try to send pictures which aren't JPG or BMP as they won't go and you end up thinking that there's a problem with your config. I speak from experience here.
GPRS settings on Vorgin?
Slightly Off topic but I'm trying to Use my xda 1 with virgin and am trying to get the GPRS set up and am struggling, is it essentially the same settings as these?
Many thanks
Nate :?:
The GPRS setting for internet access only involves 1 stage in order to set it up. It's almost exactly the same as the first part of MMS:
1. Create a new connection by going to Start->Settings->Connections and tap on the Connections icon.
2. Tap on the "Advanced" tab and then tap on the "Select Networks" button.
3. Tap on the upper one of the two "New..." buttons, i.e. the one usually below the "My ISP" drop down menu.
4.0 On the "General" tab, enter a name of "Virgin GPRS".
4.1 On the "Modem" tab, tap on the "New..." button.
4.3 Enter a name for the connection of "Virgin GPRS", select a modem type of "Cellular Line (GPRS)" and then tap on the "Next" button.
4.4 Enter an access point name of "goto.virginmobile.uk" and then tap on the "Next" key.
4.5 Enter a user name of "user", ensure that all other fields are empty and then tap on the "Finish" button.
4.6 On the "Proxy Settings" tab, ensure that the "This network connects to the Internet" is ticked and then tap on the "ok" button in the top right hand corner of the screen.
4.7 In the drop down menu for "Programs that automatically connect to Internet should connect using:", ensure that the "Virgin GPRS" entry is displayed.
5. You can now exit from the Settings screens as your connection set up is now complete. You shouldn't have to do any other config work to use the internet.
Ensure that when you try this connection that you don't have your XDA docked in its cradle or you won't be connecting via GPRS.
Happy surfing.
Thanks mate, thats done it. I have tried almost exactly that and didn't get it quiteright.
Appreciate the help.
Virgin MMS
Have entered this setup info into xda2 But it still wont connect and returns the following message
Dialed:gotovirginmobile.uk
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To
check your connection settings and change
them if needed, tap Settings. If the
problem continues, reset your mobile device
according to your manufactures documentaion
and try again
Help
Thanks
If the above text is exactly what appears on your screen then your problem is easily fixed. It looks like your missing a full stop, i.e. "gotovirginmobile.uk" should be "goto.virginmobile.uk". This is the value you entered in step 4.4 of Part 1.
I tried removing the full stop on my M1000 and I got exactly the same error reported so this should hopefully sort the problem.
Virgin MMS
Sorry my mistake I had put goto.virginmobile.uk in at step 4.4
but omitted it from my previous post
Should the connection for MMS use the same one that internet explorer uses, that one uses one called MOBILE WEB GPRS that appears to have the same setup. Browsing on the internet works OK

My device is simple smart-phone with windows mobile 6.1 professional operating system. I have a problem with the connection manager and proxy servers. Let me explain my problem.
My application needs to get some date from the Internet. I use for that GRPS connection. But I need to specific WAP connection with PROXY. Below I put all steps which I do to make that kind of connection.
1. "Start" -> "Settings" -> "Connections"
2. Click the "Connections" icon.
3. Click the "Advanced" tab.
4. Push the "Select Networks" button.
5. Push the first from the top "New" button.
6. Enter a name for new connection (for example "mywap").
7. Push the "Modem" tab.
8. Push the "New" button.
9. Enter a name fro the connection (for example "mywapcon").
10. Access point name (for my operator is "wap").
11. Click the "Next" button.
12. Enter a user and password (both "wap").
13. Click the "Finish" button.
14. Click the "Proxy settings" tab.
16. Check the "This network connects to the Internet" box.
17. Check the "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" box.
18. Click the "Advanced..." button.
19. Click the "HTTP" item on the list.
20. Enter the "Server" host (for example "proxy.host.eu") and "Port" number (for example "8080").
21. Click "ok" button.
Now, I have a new connection which I can use in my application to connect to the WAP Internet with proxy. Below I put the steps which I make to request for my application about proxy and connection.
1. To get a GUID to my new connection I use the "ConnMgrEnumDestinations" method.
2. This GUID I use to make a request to the connection manager. I use for that the "ConnMgrEstablishConnectionSync" method. When the connection occurs the method above returns the handler to the my connection.
3. Now, I try to check about proxy servers to my connection. I'm using for that the "ConnMgrProviderMessage" method and a returned hander.
I read about that a lot of articles but it still don't work correctly. When I call the "ConnMgrProviderMessage" in the step 3, the operating system returns my the "E_NOINTERFACE" error. I don't know why because I defined the proxy server for this GUID connection.
Did you have that kind of problems in your applications ?? Can you help me ??

What do you mean by server and port?
Do you mean VPN or just a regular secured WIFI that requires a static IP?
In order to set-up a static IP, follow the below steps:
1. go to the main menu
2. press the settings button
3. choose "Wireless & networks"6.
4. choose "Wi-Fi Settings"
5. press the settings button
6. choose "Advanced" option from the settings menu
7. tick "Use static IP"
8. set your IP settings
In order to set-up a VPN connection, follow the below steps:
1. go to the main menu
2. press the settings button
3. choose "Wireless & networks"
4. choose "VPN settings"
5. choose the correct "ADD ..." button accordingly to your type of VPN
6. enter your VPN information
I've never set up a VPN on the Dell Streak before, but if it requires a port, usually you could write the port as follows:
[ADDRESS]:[PORT]
ex. 192.168.1.100:21
192.168.1.100 is the [ADDRESS] and 21 is the [PORT]
thanks i'll try that in the university tomorrow ... and i'll tell u ... thanks again

Right-click the Ethernet network connection with which the computer accesses the Internet and click "Properties."
# 3
Click on the "Advanced" tab of the "Properties" dialogue box. Click to mark the box next to "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection." Click the "OK" button to close the dialogue box. If a "Local Network" message box pops up with an explanation, click the "Yes" button to proceed.
# 4
Right-click on your wireless connection in "Network Connections." If the connection is disabled, you need to enable it. Right-click again if necessary and choose "Properties" in the right-click menu.
# 5
Select the "Wireless Networks" tab in the "Properties" dialogue box. Click the "Add" button in the "Preferred networks" region of the dialogue. This opens a dialogue box called "Wireless network properties."
# 6
Select the "Association" tab of the "Wireless network properties" dialogue. Type your choice of name for your Wi-Fi network in the "Network name (SSID)" field and check the "This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network" box.
# 7
Ensure that the "The key is provided for me automatically" box at the bottom of the dialogue box remains unchecked.
# 8
Choose "Open" in the "Network Authentication" drop down menu and choose "WEP" in the "Data encryption" drop down menu.
# 9
Type your choice of password in the "Network key" and "Confirm network key" fields.
# 10
Click the "OK" button to save changes and close the "Wireless network properties" dialogue box. Click the "OK" button on the wireless network adapter's "Properties" dialogue box.
Not 100% clear on what you are hoping to achieve. The purpose of the WiFi hotspot function is that the Tab can be used as a WiFi access point, the PCs you connect to the Tab hotspot should be able to see the internet via the Tabs mobile data connection (3G/GPRS). If you achieved this then you had it working correctly. I don't believe there is any functionality intended to let the Tab access data on the PCs connected to its hotspot.
Hey thanks for the reply. I'm sorry i was not clear.
I'm not trying to connect the PC using the Tablet. I'm tryin to coonect the tablet using the PC.
My PC connect to the internet using Wired LAN. i wanna use the the PC WIFI to send my WIRED LAN to the tablet ( Network Sharing )
Thanks again
As standard, Android can't see and won't connect to adhoc networks (which is what your "hotspot" is).
Search these forums for wpa_supplicant.conf, or adhoc, for the solution.

Dave

no, you can use both adhoc mode(pc to tablet connection) and infrastructure mode( access point to tablet) if you do the hack.
you need to be rooted and with root explorer installed on you tablet to achieve the trick.
We almost can do the ad hoc patch - but not quite yet - through clockwork recovery - which is still under development. So what other flashing tool can we use?
hello, how can i change IP, Subnet Mask, Default gateway and DNS1 in ice-cream sandwich version of android? I really need this. Please help me.
Sooo .... you're crying because you couldn't change the settings? (sorry, that icon is just stupid)
To change settings, if you are already connected then long hold on the network, modify, scroll down and tick on "advanced options" .. and there you have it.
First time connecting: tap on the network, type your password, scroll down to "advanced options", tick on it, and scroll down further, more options will appear.
