Hi All,
A few weeks ago I downloaded a small brilliant and useful programme off the net for my XDA2s used for discovering wifi sites in different towns.
I was able to tap in the town In the UK and it would come back and tell me the local sites available (not neccessaraly to connect me) .It appeared many of the towns in the UK were covered.
For the life of me I cannot remember the name of the software and I inadvertantly discarded it....but now wanting to put it back on my XDA2s.
Can any of you knowledgeable guys help me out with the name of the pprogramme I wonder ?...........and of course where I download from ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards to you all and thanks for a great site.

I thought so initially but I cannot see anywhere in that programme where you enter the names of a uk town unless I am missing something?
Thank you for the reply incidently.

Dear Forum Members,
First off all, let me introduce myself, I am very fresh owner of that beautifull joy - HTC Kaiser, which I suppose may become a thing I was looking (unsuccessfully) for. I used Nokia Communicators for a long time, but missed some applications.
I am happy with the device, but have several problems with the default software inside. First of all during one month, three times my device rebooted and said that I have to upload EVERYTHING from the scratch and had no backup... Second, my device communicates through Bluetooth to sync the data with my computer but I am unable to use it as an access device to the internet via radio. I have to plug the USB cabel in to do so. Familiar people said I have to upgrade the software and it should solve all my problems.
As here in Poland our GSM operators have really poor support for its users I am unable to find ANY information about upgrading my devide. I went through your posts, but still have no idea where to start. Will each software work with my operator?
Would be great if someone could help me with choosing right piece of software or just giving some ideas where to start to learn myself.
Regards,
Wojciech

I just obtained a new AT&T Tilt (8925) (HTC Kaiser) and I want to use it on the Rogers wireless system in Canada. I can use the phone and text but cannot access the internet and MMS. I spent an hour on with the Rogers Techs and still couldn't get it going. Does anyone have an idea as to the settings I need for the internet and MMS? Also this phone has the AT&T "today" page. How can I change it to reflect the "today" page that I have seen on the HTC "Touch" as I like the big clock and weather aspects.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser

not sure how things have changed ( or not ) ... but I'd previously used this fine with my HTC S621 ... now I'm a TyTN II owner but swear against a data plan in Canada ... now that rogers also announced they will carry the "iPuke" ... owners will be charge through the roof to really benefit the multimedia plan needed to enjoy it !
if this work or not for you, update the result so that someone else can benefit, will ya ?

I have the AT&T tilt and found that the proxy on the phone is the problem. It is a hidden proxy and you will not see one set in the network options. To turn it off there are 2 proxy files in a folder in the programs menu. One to enable and one to disable. You must use the one taged "ProxyDisable".
Another way is to delete all the network settings and run an updated Connection Wizard file. I tried to attached the one I'm using but the upload keeps failing. The one I use will see the network header from your SIM card and set up all the proper settings for you. I have downloaded several and none seemed to have Canada in the list. The one I tried to attach will prompt if you want to setup on Rogers right away! Surf until your heart's content
Google for "HTCConnectionSetup 1_0_30726_1.cab" and run it directly from your phone.
As for the Kaiser default look you are refering to (also seen on the Touch), you can flash your phone with a cooked rom or the official HTC Kaiser rom. The Tilt is actualy a TyTN II (codename: Kaiser). The only difference with the Tilt is the missing front facing camera and the AT&T boot intro and software. I did not like seeing the AT&T logo on startup as I'm on Rogers so I flashed it with the original Kaiser rom. I have tried many other but currently have Dutty's latest rom and it works well and is feature packed. Another way is to unzip and run the HTC Home file (I could attach the file this time!) from your phone to get the Weather and clock.
I perfer the cooked rom method as they can be much faster and have all the "bloatwere" and trial software removed. Many of them have tools and apps that are very usefull. Check out the rest of the posts in this forum and you will find everything you need to know on flashing your rom, even how to flash back if you need to get the phone serviced.
they just jumped in & asked for help ... then we provided possible solutions for a small consideration ( feedback of what works & not so others could benefit ..etc ) ... and they can't even return the favour !!!

Um... read 3 posts up (my first post on this thread)???? I had answered the first person's question and it will answer yours
My pet peeves:
1. People who do not use the search feature or Google
2. People who do not read the thread they posted to
3. Answering questions that have already been answered by another person asking the same question in the same forum
ur not the only one with those peeves...i'm sure a lot of us have them..especially ones that are really active and helpful
Hello! I am the afore mentioned ultra noob and despite looking, I haven't been able to find an idiots guide to the simple stuff - what is a cab? What is a rom? I have read that I need microsoft .Net Compact Framework 3.5 but when I try to install it, it says 'Deployment to device will be unavailable as compatible active sync was not detected on this computer'. All things that I am struggling with.
I will be getting a TP2 next week and am hoping to get a head start on some of the stuff you more experienced peeps know about. So, if I have missed an ultra noob guide on these forums, could you point me to it or, maybe the regular users here could post a few replies with, say, your top 3 tips for tweaking a phone and choosing the right programs to download?
Thanks!
Hi,
I'm sure everything you need is available on xda. Another place to get basic information is Wikipedia:
CAB file: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAB_file
ROM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read-only_memory
ROM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROM_image
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmware
http://gizmodo.com/5281397/how-to-install-windows-mobile-65-right-now
If XDA and similar sites and the search functions are too bewildering, get Smartphone & Pocket PC Magazine's "The Ultimate Smartphone & Pocket PC How to Guide" for Windows Mobile users. There you'll have all the basics covered for total beginners. It's no longer published but you can get a copy of the last edition which covers up to WinMo 6.0 with loads of other stuff for 20 USD. http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/bundle. Some of the stuff may be getting old, but WinMo hasn't changed all that much.
Thanks for your help!

Couple things here. Always include a descriptive thread title, there's no need for all caps...yelling is not necessary, and I've edited out your e-mail address which you should never publicly share on the internet. If you wish users to contact you directly, have them PM you instead.
