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.

a little late to the party, but thanks, this worked great on htc surround
Has anyone noticed that most of the HTC apps got an update at the same time?
They probably updated it to work with Mango properly.
I guess official Mango won't be far off if HTC is already sending updates for all its apps
Edit: Just tested some of the updated apps, and resuming works with them, it remembers the state of the app. (test on Stocks and Sound Enhacer).
I tried clicking a random stock item in the Stocks app and after resuming it was still selected with correct data showing.
When did you notice it.
3 or 4 updates yesterday I think.
thats alot. i only receive once thats only update rom and radio.do you everyday connect to zune?

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).

dont look under HTC apps... just use search in marketplace... sound enhancer is pulled... cause crashes...
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?!

If you have unlocked device, you can try download and install these apps from that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914855
Thanks Budniu, but my Mozart isn't unlocked... I guess I'll have to restore via Zune, which doesn't make me happy
