I'm using a Samsung Young Duos GT-S6102. My phone that shows nothing in Settings → About Phone so my question is how to find my MAC address?

You can run ip address
from a terminal or adb shell
to get the MAC address. Specifically, ip address show wlan0
will give you the MAC for the Wi-Fi chip on most devices. The address is shown after link/ether
on the second line:
22: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP qlen 1000
link/ether a0:b1:c2:d3:e4:f5 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.0.12/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global wlan0
inet6 ab01::c23d:45ef:ab67:89c0/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
Thanks to Firelord for this suggestion.
Another alternative:
If you have BusyBox installed, you can run busybox ifconfig
. That will give output similar to the following (note the HWaddr
on the first line):
wlan0
Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr A0:B1:C2:D3:E4:F5
inet addr:192.168.0.12 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: ab01::c23d:45ef:ab67:89c0/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:993 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:747 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:904409 (883.2 KiB) TX bytes:125749 (122.8 KiB)
If you don't have busybox you could try running ifconfig
alone, but the version on my device has no output (and ifconfig wlan0
just shows the IP address).
