Galaxy Mini Mac Address Keeps Changing

Asked By Frank Rivera 20 points N/A Posted on - 02/05/2013

Help! I'm having this problem for 2 weeks now. My Samsung Galaxy Mini (CM7) mysteriously keeps changing its MAC address everytime it "refreshes" a Wifi connection. I noticed this when I wrote down the mac address and compared it to the filtering list. I tried resetting the phone but the mac address still changes every time i turn the wifi off. is there a solution for this?

Galaxy Mini Mac Address Keeps Changing

Hello Frank Rivera

This problem is not only with your Samsung Galaxy Mini CM7. Few other Samsung Galaxy models have the same issue with wifi.

This is because while connecting to any wifi router Samsung device use a temporary MAC address (because of its firmware software)

Only one solution is possible.

=>     Try upgrading your mobile's firmware software (ROM file) from authentic samsung website

Thanks 🙂
