 ====== Android Phone Notes ======
+===== Reset a Locked Phone =====
+These instructions apply to the situation in which someone has set the lock code and can't remember it.  The result is a "wipe data/factory reset".
+  - Power off phone (hold red button, select power off).
+  - Turn on phone (red button) while holding the Home button.  Should see an exclamation point in a triangle and a phone icon.
+  - Open keyboard.
+  - Select ALT+W to wipe the phone.
+All user data and installed programs are lost.

+This trick is no longer necessary (if it ever was).  Instead, just work through the Android menus--there's an option to bypass the telephone configuration.

 Thanks, Kip.
+===== Configuring Android Phones to Work with PAL2.0 =====
+To configure Android-based phones to work with PAL2.0...
+. Settings (from home screen, press option hard key).
+. Wireless & Networks.
+. Wi-Fi settings.
-===== Configuring the Android Dev Phone to Work with PAL2.0 =====
+. Add Wi-Fi network (at bottom of screen).
+  * Network SSID: PAL2.0
-. Install the Android SDK.  Open a local shell window.  Plug in the Android via USB.
+  * Security: 802.1x EAP
+  * EAP method: PEAP
-. Start the adb daemon as root...
+  * Phase 2 authentication: MSCHAPV2
+  * CA certificate: (unspecified)
-<code>
+  * User certificate: (unspecified)
-% adb root
+  * Identity: <ITaP career account>
-</code>
+  * Anonymous identity: (unspecified)
+  * Password: <ITaP password>
-. Get a copy of the ''Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem'' file from [[http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/fultz/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem|here]] (or elsewhere).
-. Save the certificate to a local file, say ''cert.pem''.
-. Copy the certificate to the phone...
-<code>
-% adb push cert.pem /sdcard/certs/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem''
-</code>
-. Get the current ''wpa_supplicant.conf'' file from ''/data/misc/wifi'' (if it exists)...
-<code>
-% adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf x.txt
-</code>
-. Copy the text below into your (scratch) ''x.txt'' file.  Be sure to edit in your login id and password (sigh).
-<code>
-ctrl_interface=tiwlan0
-update_config=1
-network={
-	ssid="PAL2.0"
-	id_str="pal20"
-	scan_ssid=1
-	proto=WPA RSN
-	key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
-	pairwise=TKIP
-	group=TKIP
-	eap=PEAP
-	ca_cert="/sdcard/certs/Thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem"
-	identity="***LOGIN***"
-	password="***PASSWORD***"
-	phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
-}
-</code>
-. Copy your modified ''x.txt'' file back out to the ''wpa_supplicant.conf'' file.  (Delete ''x.txt'' when you're done, since it contains your password!)
-<code>
-% adb push x.txt /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
-</code>
-. Turn off WiFi, and then turn it back on.  If that doesn't do it, then reboot the phone...
-<code>
-% adb shell
-# reboot
-</code>
-Thanks, Charlie.
+That should do it and PAL2.0 should connect.
