Barnacle Wifi Tethering on Mini - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi everybody. Now that I have rooted my mini I could install Barnacle wifi tethering for connecting to my laptop. But after long trials I am still not able to connect my phone with my laptop.
Can anybody with prior experience help me in this regard
For wired tethering I use Easytether which works great.

I havent tryed yet, but try setting the WLAN interface to "tiwlan0" and/or try skipping wpa_supplicant

Wonderful. It is connected with your suggestions. Many thanks.

Thanks, I also got this to work. What I wonder now is if it is possible to have security for this tether. When we choose skip wpa_supplicant then the security is disabled and it is an open network. When traveling and visiting public places I would be somewhat uncomfortable to have this open network. Barnacle does provide the WEP security option, but in order for this app to work with the x10 mini we need to choose skip wpa_supplicant which opens up the network to all. Any ideas?

I had to change WAN-setting & disable security too to even find the WiFi network.
However, when I connect it doesn't work. I see the in Barnacle "traffic"-pane that my computer sends requests when I try to load a webpage in the browser. But the down-traffic won't increase. Anyone know the next step in troubleshooting?

i left all the settings stock except turned on skip wpa supplicant. mine works great i ran ping- t all night and only lost 15 packs 0% loss, which is less loss than my friends cable internet.
when i first got it working i was using a mix of settings and i had to hit associate every 5 min or my laptop would stop having access to the internet but still remain connected to the network. so i just reinstalled it and it works great now.
This feature is one of the main reason why i bought an android device.
Edit:
after a few more days of pissing about with barnacle i realized that it cuts out when ever the phone is not being charged and falls a sleep and as long as i keep the phone awake its fine. the solution i came to was to open music player and play a song with the volume off and that keeps the phone from going into sleep mode. i know there's supposed to be a setting to stop wifi from turning off while in sleep but i have a branded rom and it doesn't appear i have the option. hope this helps someone.

There are two versions out there, 0.4.2 and 0.5.0. What version do you guys run?

anyone share the settings for barnacle wifi tethering. Its not working in my rooted x10 mini.

You can disable wifi sleeping on Settings -> Wireless controls -> Wi-fi settings. Push menu button and choose 'Advance'

I have the exact same problem and have tried everything listed here Anyone find a solution??

It works for me now using Barnacle Wifi Tether 0.6.7 and a SE X10 mini 2.1. Had the same problem before. Now my settings are:
Wireless Encryption: Wep Enabled (with hex password code)
Channel: 6
"Skip wpa_supplicant" - unchecked
Wan: tiwlan0

Hi all.
BarnacleWifi worked fine for two weeks but until I setup new android vertion 2.1.1.A.0.6 he doesn't.
Anyone try it with this one ?
Regards,
Devilo.
Edit: I can see the network on windows7 but when I try to connect, it freeze on "Identification" and I never have ip adress
DHCP doesn't work.

Same here :-(.

It finaly works on my mini with 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware.
On MiniCM-1.0.0-Alpha2, Froyo Cyanogen 6.1 port for the mini "Rom"
Dont forget skip WPA supplicant.
Regards
Devilo.

On X10 mini Barnacle works without skip wpa suplicant! After a few trys and som Observation I found the Problem. Every baconinginterval the adhoc Network have a other MAC. I try to set a fix BSSID in Barnacle but now i can't find the Network so i undo it.
After some Trys i found a workaround:
1. Start Barnacle
2. Press Associate
3. Try to connect with your Computer
4. After entering password, your Computer try to connect, press 1 time again Associate
My Settings are:
WEP Encyrpting: Enabled
Skip wpa_supplicant: Disabled
Auto Associate: Disabled
WAN: rmnet0

still not conneting
It's still not working on my x10mp 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware. My PC (Debian or Win7 have the same problem) still doesn't connect.
Barnacle on phone is showing no errors. PC is finding the wireless network but can't connect. Looks like it does not get an answer from phone (no IP address assigned).
I surely have tried all the advices from this forum and any google search gave me.

Same problem here guys - this was the reason for rooting my x10 mini

@@
same here..

And I haven't found any solutions yet ... thankful for any suggestions ...

Ok, I only need barnacle so that I can create an adhoc network, no 3G connection.
Is this possible?

barnacle is working well for our minis.
1. enable data traffic
2. in the barnacle settings menu i set the name "X10 mini" at SSID and i checked WEP enabled and i set my password - 5 letters
3. go back and push start
4. allow superuser access
5. enable wireless from laptop/pc and push many times refresh
6. when the hotspot appear ("X10 mini" in my case) click connect and give the password
7. when the laptop is trying to set the ip (when the small wireless icon near the clock is clicking) push "associate" from the bottom of the display (near start button)
8. you must ensure that your laptop is not using any proxy
i tried with stock rom and kernel and also with your awesome roms and kernels.
And when auto-asociate is cheked wifi hotspot is much faster connectiable and foundable.
NAT must be enablet too.
But hey you say ad-hock which mean you wanna make adhock without 3.party app? Or what?
The NAT from this apps always retrace the 3G net.
What are u up to do NAa

[Q] A101 continuosly wifi drop

After 2 days of work, I have no more ideas...My new A101 doesnt work with 3 (!) different wireless adsl router. I already try the WAP/WAP2/WEP/no encryption with the same results.
I'm using last Froyo 2.2 firmware...
It seems that A101 works fine only with my Desire's HotSpot !
Any idea ?
I've got the same problem, I've got kind of a solution. I you play continuously a radio station with Tune In radio then you will not lose your connectoin.
You could try "disable powersave" when you are connecting to the network.
Then just make sure you turn your wireless on / off when you aren't using it.
Hi there!
I had a bug that when I clicked on the found WLAN Network to connect and disabled the powersave there, if I checked the connection afterwards, it always said, that the powersave isn't disabled.
What I did is to add my WLAN Network manually and not by clicking on it and disabled the powersave there. That worked for me, you could give it a try!
Cheers
1. download and install spare parts
2. open and scroll down to wifi sleep policy
3. check never
4 reboot
I also had problems with dropped wifi when the archos went in sleep mode. Disable powersave did not work. Untill I found softlocker in the market and installed that. It works very good and i have no wifi drops anymore. I talked to the developer and he's very responsive to requests and bugfixes he put up a donate version so if you like the app please donate.
PS: I'm not the developer.

Does not work I tried that only softlocker seems to work correctly.
Thanks for the tips. It seems really absurd but the solution was to set in NEVER the idle of wifi settings...that's the same tip to use the Tune...but in silence mode
Thanks.
ps: I set the encryption back to WPA and all works fine

[Q] Connect to a 802.1x EAP network?

Hello XDA devlopers,
I'm trying to connect to a WPA EAP network in my school, or a 802.1x EAP network as my mini pro regocnizes it.
when trying to connect it asks me for a password/password consisting of 8 letters/numbers.
i have tried using the same methood we do for our laptops we use at our school wich is a Unique SchoolID and a password. but that doesn't work since it want whatever i write to match the first line of password.
However, when just writing something random like 8 number 1 digits it goes on and asks for a connection type were i can choose from EAP, WPA and etc where i chose EAP because thats what im guessing our school uses (i'm no network technichan so i dont know anything about wireless networks at all, otherwise i probably wouldn't post here for help lol.)
But when i have choosed the connection type it tries to connect for like half a second and then stops and goes back to sleeping mode or searching for new potentional wi-fi/wireless networks.
Please note that my phone is a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro device with default 2.1 sony ericsson stock rom and no root, aswell as the standard app to connect to wi-fi / wireless networks. (Settings > Wifi & Mobile networks > Wi-Fi)
If i have written this in the wrong thread or have written something not understandable please PM me and i will try to correct the text.

Joel

I would suggest looking up on your school's website to see if there are instructions for setting up the internet on your mobile device. I would assume they have instructions for different platforms.
I struggled to get it working at my school in which i had to get a certificate installed and blah blah blah. I can't remember if i got it working or not, it's been a while. I remember hitting a problem with WPA2 authentication on the mini pro. Hopefully you can get it working.

Thank you,ctalcant
But I've talked with our computer technichan team, but they said that they dont care and wont give support to anything else than our laptops, i also checked our schools website page and there were no instructions on how to connect, not even with our computers. only found a page telling us to visist the computer technichans if we experienced trouble.
So sadly, they wont support or help me with this. Any other suggestions?
Edit: i went there again and had a talk with a diffrent person, who seemed to have an android phone aswell, but he said that a certificate is needed to connect, atleast for the laptops in our school, but sadly he couldn't give it out because it was aginst their rules to do so. He said that he used a non-protected guest wi-fi that is aviable for our school, but to connect that you need a username and password aswell, and he couldn't give me one unless i was a guest at the school. And what iv'e heard about the guest one is that its suckey anyway so if there is any other solution i would be very happy.
Edit 2:
I have been using ubuntu on my school laptop before and got the wi-fi working without installing any certificate, but then i just selected to use EAP-PK2 something when editing settings on how to connect to the wifi with the ubuntu laptop and then filling the boxes with my schoolID login credentials and got it working.
And Android is based on linux so there should be some workaround for this?
Very Thankful for any answers about this.

I dont think it is possible for me to set up and proxy for the schools network.
They only have blocked one port and i think thats port 22 or something for security reasons, no other pages are blocked afaik.
Im starting to need the wi-fi access at school badly, i think i could pay whoever came up with a workaround or solution that works lol.
i'll post a fix tommorrow, i am currently trying it myself and it seems to work quite good!
please make a backup before you try.
it worked fine on mine though
802.1x working again!
hope it works for you!
you will loose draft N ability unfortunately
so only 54 mbit

i will try this as soon as i root my phone again, because currently is unrooted and using default stock rom.
still waiting for the CM7 for mini pro to become 100% stable for everyday use. I use my phone alot and with a rebooting phone or non working phone is a bad idea lol
Also make sure to download telekom global root cert.
Its not installed by default
Its listed on the webpage
Pki.dfn.de
Its often used for 802 connections

Hi
I am able to connect to our corp network using 802.1x EAP with PEAP and MSCHAPv2 without using a cert. My phone is on fw MiniCM rc1.

Even is an old thread I see no point in opening a new one.
So, I bought android (4.2.2) mini pc and created a pc out of it, but I am having trouble with connecting to students network cause it has 802.1x authentication, and you login with faculty username and password.
On windows we use Securew2 software and that solves problems, but when connecting on android I cant find any options to select EAP or TTLS authentication, anyone has a clue?

I run JB 4.1.2 on my x10mini and it just asks for username and password on 802.1x networks and then it connects. Not tested with a 'closed' network like a university setup, but with the public hotspots from my provider it just works.

Ah, that's a different animal altogether. I hope for you there's someone with a good answer to that, or try the playstore to see if there's anything available that implements that functionality.

There is an app Securew2 for android, but i think it only simplyfies Wifi connection...either way I cant try it cause it doesnt support my university credentials yet..

[Q] Problem: Market not downloading over WiFi

Hi I have a problem with Market not downloading over WiFi (3G is working).
Everything worked just fine for some time(6-7 months) but now...
nor my rooted Hero nor my stock Wildfire seem to work.
Youtube does not work too.
Tried:
1. Sign in/Sign out GTalk
2. Reboot
3. Uninstalled updates
4. Checked rooter settings
5. Unmounted SD Card
First I thought it was temporary... but now I don't know what to think.
Anyone have the same problem.
Or a suggestion?
I have had the same problem for 2 years oh well
I don't have wifi at home but used it at school and it doesn't work for both downloading over the market on my phone or connecting to the internet with my NDS. Seeing as they're both completely different devices I came to the conclusion that it was the router, and NDS forums agree.
I therefore think it's a problem with your router, did you just get a new one or update yours?
I am going to test various AP's and see what will happen.
I did not change anything on my router.
Thanx

Hi man,
I had the exact same problem. If you have router make a port forwarding using TCP (or both - TCP and UDP) with the port 5228.
Then, you need to add an exception to your windows firewall with the same port: 5228.
Now you reconnect to your wifi network using your phone and the download from the market should be fine.
Hope this helps.

Wifi connection problem

Im using na 16gb wifi only flyer
i was using stock gingerbread
and updated to honeycomb build
when i was using gingerbread my wifi connection was fine
but after i updated ( i tried every honeycomb roms in here)
wifi connection gets disconnect and re connect every few minute
i found out that when i set the password (router) this problems
continue.. When i disable the password wifi connection had
no problem.. But i need to set up the passworld..
Those anyone know how to solve this problem?
Hey. I had the same issue as well. I just recently got mine and I searched and found this. I'm not taking credit for this since it's not mine, but it helped me fix my issues.
1. Go to Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings.
2. Long press the network you are currently connected to.
3. Press Modify network.
4. Scroll to IP settings and select Static.
5. Keep everything else the same, and press Save.
Someone also said that he was using an older router, like me, and so he bought a new one and it worked. But this is a FAR cheaper fix for those of us without $$.
