[Q] How to rename my device? - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone.
When I connect my device to any pc via Wi-Fi using Connectify or other programs, I see name of my phone in that programs like "android-3d6d0...bla-bla-bla". I want to rename my device so it would be identified by any programs something like "Someone's phone". How can I do that?

If I am correct, this is configurable under the ''Bluetooth'' settings.

It's actually your Device WiFi ID I think, and, is not changeable AFAIK. Corrections welcome.

is there a way to change the delete soft key on the celetask to avoid this to happen. I've almost deleted the reboot before.
Thanks Rick, I must have deleted it by accident.

I can tell you if you wanna dial pppoe via wifi
your device must be rooted.
It is limited by android system itself.
nothing about software.,
I had this app before, and read many times about it but i dont understand
what it is for?
Tell me what this application is for. Dont c/p the explanation from market.
Whats benefit entering password from android?

For the ADSL.
some router haven't pppoe inside.
just like a invisible wire.
some wifi ask you to provide the username and password
computer can do it very easy because it has the pppoe dial-up
but your phone haven't
use this software you can do it just like a computer's dial.
special purpose.
Lets say my friend has a wife thats password protected.
He gives me the pass. In order to connect to his wifi should i use this app?

[Q] Customizing Carrier/Provider Name

How can i customize the Provider Name? I´ve a german Provider calls Netzclub, they base on o2 but on my DHD they shows only "Willkommen"(=Welcome) as providername and thats sucks so much.
Any help out there?
Wouldn't mind this myself actually, not to keen on 'Orange'.

im not 100% sure but i believe we would need to modify apns-conf.xml in /system/etc folder, you will need root, i can test this for you if you want?

i tried modding the file replacing the "orange uk" to "test" it didnt work/there was no change, to be honest, i think the operator name that is displayed on screen is carrier/operator specific and cannot be modified, sorry.

Think there must be a way, because if it was to do with sim, then how would it be changable on a jailbroken iPhone? Obviously it may be that it is just handled completely differently but im just saying that its not completely out of the question

[Edit] i am using CM7 and i believe the ROM reads the operator name directly off the sim card..
there must be a layer or something where you can code it hard. but dunno where or how....

[Q] Changing host Name of device?

Is they any way to change the host name for my Desire's wifi address? Because when connected to a wireless router it uses the IMEI number in the host name. Android_IMEI
I don't think there is... There might be in an xml somewhere though, but is it really important?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
Lothaen said:
but is it really important?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't really no. I've seen people not post there IMEI number on forums for some reason. If your connected to a public wifi router they could see your phones IMEI.
I just thought if there was an easy way to change it then I would, but it doesn't bother me that much.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

[HOWTO][MANGO] Put your app in the Settings hub. Now includes description changing!

Mango allows us to put things in the settings hub. This is pretty easy to achieve, just go to your project, open your WMAppManifest.xml and add this on the <App>-tag:
Code:
HubType="268435456"
Now deploy your xap to emulator or to a real device. You can find it under the Settings-menu.
Tested & works on Mango Emulator and on Samsung Omnia 7 (Mango RTM)
To change the description see this post: link.
this can get interesting. ill check it out.
can we create another app hub called APPs and put all the apps there instead of having it populated in a long list in the programs list?

I have no idea, but I'd say we can't. Someone needs to find out what that HubType number means
Interesting. Though, once it is installed, how is it uninstalled? A tap&hold on the option in settings shows nothing... so is there another way?

You need XAP with the same app id that does not go to the settings hub, just deploy it and uninstall

Possibly it's a bitmask? Not that that really clears anything up, but 268435456 is 10000000000000000000000000000 in binary.

Interesting. Gotcha. Slightly annoying implementation. But then again, I guess most devs aren't supposed to use this hubtype anyway.
Any idea on how to customize the description text that appears below the entry in the settings menu? I tried looking, but I can't find any lines or strings that seem to have any effect.

That's right. It seems only two bits are using - first and last (music hub integration). I've tried 536870911, but nothing changes.

I made a project template for you, just open it in visual studio and it has samples for customizing the text. 2 ways to do it, in WMAppManifest and in code, just look at my sample it is very easy.
Slacker is on the Music Hub and it shows HubType="1" in the manifest. Non-music hub apps just don't have any HubType in the manifest.

Settings list uses HubType too.
Yes, I am aware that this entire topic is about that. I was mentioning it because it was not mentioned before in the discussion about the Music Hub.
Hey, mate thanks for your tutorial.
But I'm still quite confused, cuz I can basicaly just change the tile title within WMAppManifest in order to change the gray discription in your sample app, but when I do it upon my own app, it doesnt shows up....
e.g I change the official youtube app, added HubType=xxx, and edited WMAppManifest, change the tile title into "sample discription", but this text dosent shows up below the big settings entry name.
Could u tell me how to do that by only changing the WMAppManifest.xml file? w/o re-assembling dll files. Thanks
