Guest nrev Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 I'm running FLBr9 but I think this is a general Froyo issue rather than being ROM specific. I have accidentally set an SSID for Wi-Fi tethering that is too long (>32 chars)... it was accepted by the phone but when I try to turn on the hotspot it fails. The tethering icon shows in the status bar but "portable Wi-Fi hotspot" stays unticked under settings->Wireless & networks->Tethering & portable hotspot. Because the phone thinks the hotspot isn't active it won't allow me to enter settings (settings->Wireless & networks->Tethering & portable hotspot->Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings) to reset the SSID to something more sensible. So I'm stuck! After googling the problem the only advice I have found is to reset to factory settings... which means a bit of a pain to get everything reconfigured again (even with Titanium backup). My question is whether anyone has an idea of how I can change the SSID without resetting everything. My plan B is to restore an oldish Nandroid backup I have for this ROM and then restore call logs/SMSs etc. from TB. But, it would be nice to just edit a file somewhere to change the SSID. The next question is whether there is any chance of there being a fix in FLB to stop the phone accepting invalid SSIDs *or* to allow the tethering settings page to be accessed even if the hotspot isn't active. I'm guessing this is something deep in Froyo, though, rather than it being something in any specific ROM.
Guest StevenHarperUK Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Maybe its some where in the sqllite settings. EDIT Can you try this adb -d shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 'update secure set value="Fish" where name="wifi_ap_ssid"'[/code]
Guest nrev Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 adb -d shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 'update secure set value="Fish" where name="wifi_ap_ssid"' Excellent! This works! The only problem I had was that sqlite3 doesn't seem to be installed on the phone, but I found a version of it installed somewhere under Titanium Backup, so I used that. Is sqlite3 supposed to be available under /system/bin or somewhere similar? Thanks for the help.

Honestly I don't know - all ROM's may be different What was the path for Titanium Please (I will update the FAQ with it)
