HTC has released an app that lets you add a hidden WiFi SSID, and Windows Phone will then connect to it when in range.
Is HTC doing this via their own interfaces, or some kind of registry hack? Could we port it to other devices?

I don't have HTC so I cannot access this part of the marketplace, can someone pull the XAP and upload it or inspect the contents?

Interop Services, Web Browser, and Data Connection. At a guess, it's using XML provisioning. There may be a way to do this using registry editing, but XML provisioning explicitly has the capability to add WiFi networks.
If so, it *may* be possible to use on LG (where we have some XML provisioning capability) or possibly on Samsung (Heathcliff74 apparently has XML provisioning but there's no source available). Porting the app directly probably won't work though, these DLLs tend to be phone-specific.
Works flawlessly on my hidden network
Here ya go, and i got the HTC youtube to work on samsung along time ago before it was posted here and i can get this one to load now but its giving me a bit of a hassel fully working, not sure if it can work for other devices as well. I already have the dll's resigned, but its saying i need to update to current software. I have NODO so not sure what this is meaning? I know that HTC uses specific drivers for their apps just like the youtube abd the digital compass that i have but i cant figure out the error of the software, but am sure its possible just like the other apps.
I have HTC Mozart 7 with NoDo and downloaded the app straight from market plce, but it still tells me: "This application requires the latest Wi-Fi software. Please update your phone to the latest system software". Does that make any sense to anyone?
I downloaded and analyzed it. Look here. It cannot be easily ported to other devices, because it uses the WRO1: driver, which is a HTC driver and not available on other devices. The driver was probably pushed to HTC devices lately. HTC users should probably connect with Zune to receive that HTC specific update. It is not the NoDo update.
You can download the original file here:
http://apps.marketplace.windowsphone.com/B9A00766-527B-455A-8A63-8FFF485396B2/CurrentBinary.xap
I removed the sigs, so it can be sideloaded. See attachment. But it won't work on non-HTC.
I guess, in the end, it is just a matter of inserting the right registry values, given a certain SSID. With registry access and knowing the location and format of the necessary registry keys it can quite easily be created for other devices. It shouldn't be too hard.
Few websites that have reported "HTC Update" claim that only users who used Chris Walsh's "ChevronWP7.Updater" that have in fact obtained the HTC update. Can anyone who has not used the "ChevronWP7.Updater" and still enjoyed the update please report country/carrier/phone?
Cheers
Sideloaded it to my Focus and I get the same message, "This application requires..."
This is ridiculous...
Works perfect with HTC 7 PRO.
This application requires the Post-NoDo update to HTC devices. HTC pushed a new driver in that firmware to enable this functionality.

Any idea when Telstra/Vodafone Australia getting the update? I have an HTC Mozart (Telstra) on three.
Cheers
When Telstra FINALLY approve NoDo. Then that firmware update needs to be approved and tested.

I was able to get NoDo update using one of the methods (using a xap file) to change the brand in the phone registry (thereby skipping wait for Telstra update). I successfully updated NoDo. Does that mean there is a country restriction on the HTC firmware update, or is there some other issue?
The firmware update doesn't apply to the htc Mozart just yet.

If you used ChevronWP7 or Chris Walsh's tools to update your WP7 phone to NODO, and now you can't update to the latest May release (7932) then here is the fix you have been looking for! This tool allows the restoration of your phone such that it can be updated through Zune again. All credits goto Chris Walsh. No need to downgrade from NODO or mess around with your ROM!

Obviously use "wpst_x86_2.zip" for 32-bit and "wpst_x64_2.zip" for 64-bit Win7/Vista. Make sure you have at least .NET Framework 4.0 installed.
Instructions:
1) Sync your favorite WP7 to your PC
2) If Zune loads, let Zune sync with your WP7 phone, establish a connection, then kill Zune
3) Run the Chris Walsh program "WPST.exe"
4) Read the onscreen instructions and wait for the update to complete
5) Try updating phone in Zune after Chris Walsh fix

You need
- the phone to be unlocked (Chevron)
- WP7 Root tools
- Read Unbranding your phone for updates thread
- Read Prevent relock thread
1. Install WP7 Root tools.
2. Do the "Prevent relock" reg hack.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"=""
"PortalUrlInt"=""
3. Do the "Unbrand" reg hack
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator
Edit it and instead of "ATT-US" (original value) leave blank
4. Connect to Zune and update to 7392
I have a Focus updated to 7392
LE: alternatively, you can also sideload and run Samsung Tools and tick "remove sideload limit", "prevent relock" and " enable 3g".
This hasn't worked for me, I am still getting the update error.
Any other suggestions?
I originally flashed an Ansar VF NZ rom, it allows me to update to 7008, but fails with 80180048 on 7392.
Hard reset, Walsh's tool. still no go..
Anyone?
Yes. Flash the Rogers rom and start over. Something's not working properly and you can try to spend a lot of time trying to find out what it is or you can enjoy the phone. Your call.
I'm suggesting Rogers rom, because the while AT&T has apps (will you use'em?) it doesn't support sms delivery notification. Also, Rogers rom is closest to original Samsung rom.

Yup. You can at least figure out if it's a software, hardware or firmware problem. GL
Did the update. Is there any reason to rebrand the phone after the update? Or can I just leave ATT-US blank?

If you really want the additional stuff AT&T will put in it, yes. Otherwise you can probably get the "official" update like everyone else. Again, your call

WP7 doesn't really have bloatware. All the preinstalled ATT apps can be deleted. ATT did provide a WiFi sniffer that looked for free ATT WiFi spots and automatically connected without intervention from the user. I think this and the ability to import ATT contacts came only to ATT branded phones with the 7390 update

That's what I said What do you call something you don't use and that occupies space otherwise? Plus you do have to delete those apps to free space, so those are extra steps. As for the Wispr, Mango (including this beta) offers this connectivity generic. For contacts, I have no clue what ATT contacts are but Outlook sync works perfectly.

What device are you using? Chevron is a tool to get your device developer unlocked. To use the tool you must first install the cert, like you already did. Neither the tool nor the cert have something to do with the marketplace. To be able to use the marketplace, you need a Windows Live ID.
i have a htc trophy, i can enter in the marketplace but i cannot download enything
, i am doing a restore now

But you set up your Windows Live account and entered the activation code that came with your device, right? Without that, you cannot use the marketplace.
ye the account is fine, but it s after i installed the certificate file, still not working after the restore
Is there maybe a problem with the marketplace just now? I've just tried to download a few different things and am getting message along the lines of "can't get this info right now, check back later"?
I've not installed anything or done anything out of the ordinary today on my phone?

Yeah...unfortunately, learned that the hard way. Now I can't get my phone back the way i want it until this issue is fixed.

Just for the heck of it, I created a new live id and was able to download apps. is there a way I can switch all my transactions from the live id that's not working to the live id that is working?

7720 background multitasking lacks
Care to illustrate? I'm on 7712 & it works.. Not on all apps la, bt its a beta
Sent from my LG Optimus 7
Mango multitasking wont be good until the apps are updated to resume properly, right now when you go back to an app it usually wont bring you back to the exact spot you were at, because the apps doesnt know that they can and they will as long as the dev knows whats he/she is doing once mango apps start to appear
Be more specific please
Please refrain your question and be more specific. Remember this is a beta build or in your case (RTM build 7720) afterall, and only few apps and games take advantage of multitasking at the moment.
I'm running Mango RTM 7720 and multitasking is fine, much smoother and quicker than the first Mango beta build released in July and it will only get better once its approved by OEMs and network carriers.
RTM 7720 - Gmail syncing issues
Just updated my HTC HD7 to the RTM 7720 build yesterday by starting with a clean install from NoDo and everything went fine.
However, I seem to be having some trouble trying to set up Gmail. I have tried a few time to set it up but it keeps telling me "Attention required" under Settings (Email+accounts) - Gmail.
When I click on it it says the following "Update your information for m.google.com and press Save". I tried that on the browser but it takes me to the mobile version of Gmail and its not helpful at all.
Has anyone else come across this issue? If so, any solutions...???
Thanks in advance

As stated each app much be updated with a single line of code to make MT work in Mango. The Marketplace will not allow apps to have this code at the moment. Thus most apps not working with MT.

Really? I suppose instead of acting like a douche (Most users do) and telling you to use Search, I can tell you that you hold down the Back button on your phone.

Hi,
I updated to Mango Final a few days ago but I just realised that a few HTC apps have gone missing from the Marketplace.
Sound Enhancer
Attentive Phone
Connection Setup
HTC Compass
All have gone from the marketplace. I would like to reinstall them but can't find them. Does anyone know what happened to them?
They had some problems on the 1. Gen devices like the musikplayer crashes and so on....
Yeah I hope they resolve the issue...i used all of those before the update and now none of them work...really need the connection setup for my mms to work
I also cant find any that you listed using "HTC Apps" but if i search HTC they start showing up like Compass and Dock Mode which isn't listed if i just hit "HTC Apps".
I was hoping to try Attentive Phone with Mango for i had trouble with it before.
In official Mango Sound Enhancer and Attentive Phone you have in settings not apps list. I think so these applications is not in the market because they are in system (official Mango).

Many people say they have the sound enhancer built in under settings (also 1st Gen such as Mozart). I uninstalled mine to see if I could install the new version and it has now disappeared. I've tried looking for it every way possible but it's nowhere to be found. I want it back, sound is crap on my Mozart without it! What can I do?!
