I have a HTC 8125. Pretty good device for now. I usually log onto my schools internet by opening up the pocket internet explorer and just going to any address. It will then direct me the the campus webpage where I have to enter my username and password.
Is there a way to have that information already preset so I dont have to do that extra step everytime.
When the device goes to sleep after a few mins, it takes a lot for me to do all the steps again. Wish there was a way to have it remember already, unless you cant bypass it because its a kind of authentication or something.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Nope yer stuck, its a session cookie, that once the device goes to sleep, the session is broken and invalidated. Sorry thats not the answer you wanted. you could add your username to the autocomplete which might speed you up some, but I wouldnt add the password.
do VPN software clients exist for WM? Something u could run software wise? i know it would probably use up unnecessary memory, but that might solve the problem...
I'm actually in the same situation you are with internet at my university.

I have an 8525 but my IT guy at the office has an 8125/wizard. Anyway, he does not have the data plan through cingy so he is wondering if he can use wifi instead. If so, how do I set that up for him? Thanks

Your IT guy doesn't know how to turn on wifi?!?!
That's pretty bad. Anyhow, you just open up the COMM manager and turn on wifi. When it finds an AP, or whatever, it'll bring it up and you tap on it and it take you through the brief and easy setup process. That should do it.
P.S. Time to get a new IT guy
Yeah, lol we got that far but like with my 8525 it lets me choose during the mail set up how I want to retrieve my mail i.e. work, internet, ISP, Media net etc... Just wondering if there is something like this for the wizard. Thanks by the way.
I dont think there is a way to set up your email that way. Only if he connects manually to wifi and then retrieve. The email will not connect automatically thru wifi unless you just stay connected i believe. And yeah i second that motion on getting a new IT guy.
Hi,
Well, its not just turning on WiFi, its disabling GPRS so he doesn't get hit with big data charges. You can try this tweak: http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/Disable_GPRS
Hopefully this will work for him.
BTW, things are pretty much the same on the Hermes as on the Wizard, it just depends on the rom you're running.
Good luck,
I had finished setting up a K-Jam for my 11 year old son (no, he's not a total nerd, but he has a father who always uses the latest in phones and wants to follow), and I discovered at the end that I have left one of my network passwords on it while I downloaded something from my server. Does anybody know how I can remove that? I know that in WM2003 you have these registry keys:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\Credentials]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\Redir\Connections]
But they aren't there under WM5. Can you help me out here? I'd rather not do the full setup again, it took some hours to finish.
you mean gprs password?
or pin code request ?
if you mean gprs password then
settings->connections->connections->Manage existing connections-><your isp>Edit->next->next->clear password field
No, no. Sorry, I was probably unclear. I meant network as in LAN. Fileserver in my house. The password I use when I log into my server with the WiFi card. And the worst thing is that I haven't even had a Tuborg yet...
Still no solution for this?
Hello. I signed up for Mail2Web's Exchange service, but then I learned about Consilient Push, before I got heavily invested in Mail2Web (no one even knows the address yet), and I was hoping to change. Problem is that WinMo 6 will let me change the server address for my Exchange server, but not the log-in, or the domain.
This is going to be moot, since eventually I'm probably canceling my unlimited data plan (costs a little too much for me, and I'm going to school where I'll be under a nice blanket of WiFi). Anyway, I'm using a T-Mo Dash, and to save power, it shuts down WiFi... plus between buildings, and in dorms there's no WiFi (routers, even in campus apartments and townhouses are forbidden), and I don't want my device hammering away at the network unnessessarily. I'll probably go with something like 20 MB (accidents do happen...), but I want to avoid all possible automated data usage.
I tried searching for a solution to this problem, but I couldn't come up with anything. Maybe I'm using the wrong search terms, or perhaps no one has tried this before. Maybe both!

I hate to say it, but it doesn't. All the existing software is working fine, and I'm just looking ro DEautomate it all. For now, I'll settly for being able to change the username for the ActiveSync Exchange Sync settings.
I understand this is only tangential to phone security, but my phone is connected to the LAN and I know there are some great experts here.
Here's my situation: a few days ago I had some equipment installed that required wireless access. I had to give the installer my LAN password in order to set it up. After he finished and left the house I noticed he was still in his truck for more than 5 minutes and appeared to be using a laptop. My paranoia kicked in and I unplugged my modem.
My question is what's the worst could someone do on short notice with your LAN password? I've only noticed one oddity since then. I listen to SiriusXM streaming every day. Today it told me that I was listening on a different device (which I wasn't) and did I want to continue on my desktop. That's the only unusual thing I've noticed. Malwarebytes and Norton scans don't show anything. WinPatrol hasn't noted any new bootup programs.
I know I should have changed my LAN password immediately but I have probably more than 25 devices that connect to it and it's a major PITA to go to each one and change the connection password. I will do that today but I'm still wondering what a bad guy can do with my LAN password and SSID. I do live in a semi-rural area and a stranger would stand out immediately, so I'm not concerned with some sort of war driving event.
If someone knows of a better forum to post my questions I would appreciate that as well.
Thanks!

You are talking about you´re WLAN password, right?
Yes. WLAN password.
Well, the worst thing I think is infecting one of you're device inside you're LAN or changing you're router configuration to allow access from outside.
If you're device are secure and up-to-date I don't think he could have done anything harmful (except downloading illegal things)
Worst case
If they came prepared and had everything set on their laptop beforehand they could set up a man in the middle attack on the router such that everything you get is also routed though them. Do not worry most websites use ssl to encrypt traffic which is mostly unbreakable on a well setup website. I wouldn't use anything from a "small website" only google Facebook twitter and the big name, they are reliably secure. He will still be able to see the sites but not the data. One thing to be careful of is that google directs searches inside the url so he will still be able to see searches and even which search page. He could have also setup a backdoor in the router so he can get in later and do more. If you want more pleas pm me with the router model so I can look into it. do not give me the external address or password I dont want that only the modle number.
Just theoretically this is the worst case scenario of five minutes. he would have to have everything ready beforehand and be skilled and type faster than most people but the mere possibility of this is why I got my own router sealed and set it up myself.
long story short- we live in a big house, one of the guys is way behind on rent, the cable/internet is in his name. as one last "f*** you" to the rest of us while he's being evicted, he changed the wifi login to something the rest of us don't know (we've been splitting the cable bill among the 4 of us this whole time)
so the modem is a comcast/xfinity branded XB2 "all-in-one" modem/router made by Arris.
the default network name and password are printed on the outside of the modem.
also printed on the outside is the serial number (alphanumeric 15-character), a CM MAC, an E-MTA MAC, and a WAN MAC.
now of course I could just hold down the reset button for 30 seconds, use the default login, change it to something new, and take over the modem, but that only lasts as long as it takes him to call comcast and get them to override the modem/internet service.
I've got an old android that I've rooted just for this purpose. (I don't have access to a laptop or pc with a wifi adapter right now) I've tried using androdumper to brute force the wifi to no avail.
i think the best way to go about this is... hard reset the modem... log into the modem using default info... and then what? that's where i'm stumped. i'm pretty new at this (if you couldn't tell)
is there any info I can pull off of the comcast/arris modem screen (10.0.0.1 I believe is the address) that I can later use to pull the wifi password?
any android apps I can use to pull the wifi password?
Security is WPA
Before this guy changed the password, I looked at the security settings using 10.0.0.1 and they were set to "very lax" or whatever comcast calls it.
If you have any questions for me I'll try to answer them the best I can
Thank you in advance for all the help
Just hard reset it and change the password to something your crew agrees with..
I can't think of a worse punishment than to have anyone deal with customer service repeatedly.
Even more so if you can keep his hands off of it..

i hear ya, especially comcast customer service, but it's not really a solution. i've given this a lot of thought, i'd rather not go through all the hassle, but i've already gone to the trouble of rooting my phone and scouring the internet for android apps and wordlists and brute force solutions, all to no avail
if we "misplace" the modem that gives the guy an excuse to get the cops involved and trust me he'd love an excuse to call the cops and stir up even more s***
could anyone please recommend an app to crack the wifi?
or maybe a link to some instructions/things to try?
FYI the phone I have rooted is a samsung galaxy centura
Just hard reset the damn modem. it takes less than 5 minutes. Once you reset it, change the default password. Reset the wifi as the same SSID, and put in a new password.
What's going to happen is this: He'll reset the modem again, and do the exact same thing, again. your problem is this: the Comcast service agreement is in HIS name. He doesn't even have to get the cops involved. All he has to do is call Comcast and THEY will come after you for theft of service, and they do not back down easily. Give up while you're ahead.
Your best option is this - Call Comcast. tell them you evicted this person, and that he left an active cable internet account at your address. You would like to get new service installed to replace this account. They will work with you on this. I've had to do this a couple times before.
