I am looking for something similar to what Hitchhicker is supposed to do, but without the Hitchhiker's problems on WM6. For me, it was completely unreliable, left tons of connection settings behind in the registry etc etc.
All i want is an ability to find a public/open WiFi network with internet access and connect to it in a single tap.
Any ideas ?
I use WeFi- Free and works like charm. Also can start programms after it connected.
I start Palringo (Free multi Messanger)
I read about WeFi here, the reason i never tried it was this:

Same thing as with the previous version.
It scrambled my wifi settings I had to make a hard reset (Asus P535, WM6).

Can you tell me what particular version seems to work on Polaris ?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: i am currently backing up to try the latest version myself, will report here later today
First report about WeFi:
It seems to erase all your normal (WZC) WiFi settings without asking, including the WEP/WPA keys. And KEEP ERASING those every start.
It would not connect to my own home WiFi (secured, WPA2+PSK, AES) despite having correct the key entered in it's dialog.
After manually connecting using the normal utility, while WeFi still running in the background, it "tested" the hostspot, and found it to have internet connectivity. After that, it reported 1 user being connected on that hot spot (me) ! What this means is, it certainly tells some of the hotspot details (SSID) to it's server. The question is, would it also share the key with every other user on the planet ? If it would, this would be completely unacceptable !!!
One positive thing about it, somehow, it managed to reconfigure the WZC on Polaris to connect to any open hotspot available (good for me), even when the program isn't running (no, i didn't forget to shut it's today plugin down). This is probably some registry setting unknown to us. I'll try fishing it out and report.
EDIT: sorry, my mistake, it didn't really reconfigure WZC, it got some processes installed, running at the background, that i missed :-(​
Just in case someone may want to know this, the part of WeFi that seems to do the "auto-connect to any open network" thing, but not the internet connectivity probing, is the WeFiSrv.exe, that seems to require Comm.DLL, Engine.dll, Hessian.dll, OpenNETCF.dll, Prot.DLL, Util.dll and Win.dll to run
as well.
EDIT: WeFiSrv.exe seems to be responsible for deleting the existing "normal" WiFi settings too. As well as responsible for eating a big chunk of RAM while running.
EDIT2: same app also responsible for screwing up the settings
Conclusion: unless you are going to connect to unprotected WiFi hotspots ONLY, this program, or any parts of it, isn't really an option.
Any other suggestions ?

Device: Atom Life from Mwg running stock wm6 rom
since a few days ago every time i turn the wifi on and go into to select networks i dont get that screen anymore. like my home wifi works cuz it has the password. but i cant connect to other networks :S
This might have something to do with me deleting the profiles for wifi networks i dont use anymore. Thats the last time i saw the profiles screen.
i did this due to my ppc connecting on its own to a wifi when antena was off ..more like a pc wifi signal and that annoyed me so i poked around and deleted the profile of that network and others from past.
since then i cannot see even the wifi icon in the top bar all i see is the <-> arrows but with out the antenna in the background i.e <-I->
nor can i find that page where i deleted the network profiles from :S
where is it ?? i think it comes on only when the <-I-> is present.
is this a symptom of something?
u see i do not get this:

Still cannot connect to tother wifi's , with wefi not even my own :S lol
( might as well ask what backup software i should look into that will back up the rom as well since i feel i should go 6.1, or point me into the right direction for a tutorial to extract my own rom )
Update: uninstalled wefi.
icons back to before state. good.
heres what i got in my connections tab. can some one tell me if i am missing something:
band switch
beam
bluetooth
cell broadcast( what is this feature..thx)

csd line type

and mwg wireless manager ( btw when u click wifi in it- it does not change status of wifi only LED turns on )

Seriously can you be more specific? What does not work exactly when, and since when did it happen?
And by the way you are posting in the wrong section .

the problem that when i click on wifi icon starting take too long then wifi switched of
on setting>connection>(there is no wifi icon) only WLAN icon
im
so....thats help you to spacify the problem???
Lol.. One of the secret Herald/Wing mysteries...
I've had my Wing for a couple of months now and am also struggling with Wifi problems... Specifically, my Wing won't connect to my home wifi network (Belkin G).. This is regardless of security, encryption or the network being visible/hidden.. I've scanned the Net... In all cases, it sees my network, goes to connect and fails (no error message given.)
In one case, after a recent ROM change, my Wing couldn't even initialize the wifi at all.. A hard reset fixed that...
Regardless, My main concern (from reading the posts here) was my Wing was one of many devices with a BAD wifi.. Since I bought it used, I would be screwed... SOOO I was able to logon to a public wifi and it worked just fine..
I'm guessing if you provide some detailed information about your device, the pros will probably be more likely to pipe up..?
Here's just an example:
HTC Wing or Herald?
Have you modified your ROM?
How is your home wifi setup? Visible/hidden, encryption (if so, what type?)
Again, just a suggestion.. As you'll see I'm a 'junior member' so.. Also, hopefully its ok to post a reply though its in the wrong section?
J
i dont think thats it modefied becouse its a T-mobile HTC and when it work on i saw T-mobile , plus some other extra software.
i bought the phone like that used by the way ....
still have no idea about Wifi problem
by the way a have HTC touch elf , so i know how the wifi should start
anyone could help......
I have been using win 6.5 on a kaiser (att tilt) for the last 2 weeks and have been battling problems with Wifi.
The problem is that after a soft reset, when I go to wireless lan settings and click on the "Change Network" button, I don't get a list of wireless networks. Wifi is turned on, and I do have many valid SSIDs nearby to link to.
Image 1) This is the Wlan Setting screen

}
Image 2) This is what I see from "Change Network".
Notice that the tabs along the bottom of the screen are missing
I originally tried using WIFI Monster and a couple other programs to find networks and link. They could show networks but couldn't seem to get an IP address.
Finally I tried assigning a static IP address and *POOF* all the problems went away, even when I went back to getting a DHCP address.
Image 3) This is the screen you get from pressing "Edit" on Image 2
Image 4) I enter an IP address (doesn't matter what it is).
I press "OK" twice.
Image 5) This is now what pressing "Change Network" takes me to
I can now select networks, link, and browse via WiFi.
WIFI Monster and others now work correctly as well.
Image 6) This is the same as Image 2 after setting an static IP and returning to DHCP
Things I've tried to fix the problem
I've tried clearing all wlan settings but a soft reset repeats the problem
I have tried 5 different radios and they all show the same problem so I don't think it's radio related
I've tried 4 different WM 6.5 roms with cores 21232, 21234, and 21812. All seem to have the same problem.
I've used Task manager to look at running EXEs, Services, and Devices before and after fixing the problem, but I see nothing added or removed.
I've spent several hours trying different search variations on these boards looking for similar problems, but either my search skills suck, or no one is describing the problem with the same terms I'm using.
If I can't find a solution to the soft reset issue, it isn't a huge deal because I have a work around, it's just annoying. And I thought others might want to know the work around I'm using.
I finally figured out what was causing the problem.
Sprite Terminator
If I never install Sprite Terminator, or if I uninstall Sprite Terminator, then I never see this problem. I made sure I had the latest version of Sprite Terminator v1.2.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Worked for me as well I had exactly the same problem.Sprite Terminator 1.2.0 Build 186. After returning to DHCP all is working fine!
THANKS!
OK not everything is as it should be. The change to static IP and then back to DHCP will get me fixed only for as long as I do not reset/powerdown the device. After that the procedure has to be repeated to get it working again.
Finally..
Thankyou so much !! I done hard reset my i780 for many times for this problem, patch new wifi driver, and give up to explore registry ..and finally..I can smile again
LOL
COOL i have this same problem and it worked for me, but only one problem e dont have sprite terminator installed, at least i think not.
Anyone noticed with another programs?
At least i can get the wifi working, at least until i do a soft reset ,thank you for sharing
I have a similar problem, only that the Wi-Fi works, but not showing the correct icon on the worksheet in the Home screen .. somebody has the same problem? Ask! Please write directly to the address: [email protected]
Thank...
Hello guys, I'm new to the site and I just have 1 question (that I have googled for about 3 hours without success).
I just got my G2X and rooted it via superoneclick as soon as I got it. I am having problems with the wifi tethering and have read that tmobile has filtered tethering on plans without the plan but I refuse to believe that they would be able to filter 3rd party tethering apps. I have tried about 4 different third party apps and the stock program. They always send out a signal but cannot connect to anything (tried on 2 different laptops). Can someone shed some light on what's going on? any help is greatly appreciated.
I noticed to get the built in tether program working for my netbook I had to do an "ipconfig /release" then an "ipconfig /renew" from the command line after wifi had connected.
The wifi tethering program from the google code site worked out of the box but protection wouldn't work, and I had no desire to share my phone to the whole hotel
What do you mean protection doesn't work? Thr set password works fine for me
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I'm getting crazy with the wifi thetering.
yesterday everything was working fine, including protection.
Today is not working. I made 2 reset. I have always error in portable wifi hotspot
Now I'm able to connect the notebook to the wifi tetheting, I'm using Open Garden Wifi Tether.
I'm still not able to connect the blackberry

Click to collapse
It would show two networks, one protected, one not, the protected one didn't work and anyone could connect to the unprotected one
I pay for tethering on one of my phones (mine) and am trying it now for the 1st time....very fast. Wouldn't connect at first then I let windows do a troubleshoot and it corrected the issue. Seems to work well. I've been having a lot of power failures this year so want to ensure my wife can have internet for her work.
But I think I've read that the providers can't prevent tethering apps from working. Haven't I heard they are preventing the tethering apps from being seen through their Market apps?
They may detect the extra usage though.

I was going to ask how to do this but I realized what you meant. It still did nothing for me look at my pic. it connects but I can't browse the web much less download anything. I hope someone can chime in with a solution.

Blue2Hotspot is a program for automatically turning on an access point (Hotspot) when connected to certain Bluetooch devices.
Languages: English, Russian (translation planned)
It happens that you get tired of doing the same thing and constantly get into the car, look for your phone, turn on the access point, and so on every day. I decided to write a small application to automate these actions. To enable the access point, you need permission - location (I myself think this is nonsense). The program does not write your data or send it anywhere. All other permissions are needed to keep Android from being unloaded from the system.
Some water. Since the parents bought a car and there is a large screen, you can launch the navigator and all sorts of online services, but how to turn on the access point turned out to be more difficult to teach, since a couple of weeks will pass and the call "how to turn on Wi-Fi". And I decided to write a small application.
Instructions
Make pairing with Bluetooth and Wifi device.
Install Blue2Hotspot, give permission.
Make settings and select your Bluetooth device.
Click on the Start service button
That's it, the service will work on this; now, when connected to the device, the access point will turn on.

What is the speed that one can expect?
Thanks for the very useful app, that works very well. I tried a couple of others before finding this that didn't work.
Would it be possible to select multiple BT devices so that it could be used in more than one car?
After using Blue2Hotspot for a couple of weeks I'm an absolute fan of it. Annexhack, you have programmed a really useful program, easy to handle for beginners too. I second the requst from kk131 and add: I'd like to donate a beer to you, let us know how to do. Thanks
Bye for now Fred
