My brand new Atom shows that it's connected to my WiFi AP (Linksys), but I'm getting nowhere on the network! I can't ping anything internally and I can't ping the Atom from other computers, I can't get on the Internet, and I can't open network drives. I'm using a static IP at 192.168.0.99 for the Atom, and I have checked again and again that I have the correct setup for that, with DNS (192.168.0.1), Gateway (192.168.0.1) and subnet (255.255.255.0). Can somebody please tell me what to do to get this thing connected?! I use my PPC's on the WiFi around 80 % of the time, so it's pretty important to me!
Edit: It seems I'm able to connect to a D-Link AP in the neighbour's house, but that doesn't help much... Can this be a Linksys problem?
Solved! Upgrading my Linksys to the latest firmware (that wasn't on any other sites than the german - how typical of Linksys!) fixed it. Phew...
Hi there
Where did you get your from XDA ATOM from?
How do you find it? Is it worth the money?
Regards
Naz
eBay, it was sendt from HongKong on Thursday last week and arrived today. So far it's worth twice the money. It does all my Blue Angel did and is fantastically small! I need a lot of the functions in my work (I run my own one man translation business) and have been annoyed with the size of other PDA phones. Oh, not to mention the FM radio, one of my main reasons to upgrade - I listen a lot to the radio. The only thing against is that it didn't come with any form for case or even cradle. But of course I can get those as well from eBay!
Can I ask if someone nice would be prepared to export the registry from the Atom and PM/email it over to me? I'm working on some new stuff and it'll come in very handy. A live rom dump would be even nicer if you've got a few minutes to spare. PM me if you're willing and able, so to speak
Thanks muchly.
V
I would be willing, but not able, at least not the first few days. Heck, I don't even know how to do it...
I can talk you through both processes if you're interested.
A ROM dump will take around 10 mins, a registry export maybe 1 or two. Both would be lovely. Either/or would be appreciated!

vijay555 why don't you list the procedure and I will try to do it tonight. I am not a tech expert so it would be good if you kept the procedure simple.

i have just got a t mobile MDA compact V aka a HTC touch diamond 2? anyway so far its useless.. bluethooth link to pc offers nothing but a serial conection,and from pc to phone i get the networking and file transfer. what the heck? my old artemis (xda orbit) had alot of things like the wireless stereo, HID options etc. and as for wifi, it seems to ignore the fact its connected to my home network (although it says connected) when using programs that need to go online, such as copilot amd the windows update. the phone has been fully reset back to factory settings. so whats going on here? is it because its a t mobile one that half of these things arnt on it? i would of thought the orbit would of been the same since its an 02 phone but nope it works better than this one!
um hello? lol you cant tell me not one of you know whats up here? how the hell can a phone from 2k6 out do, and have more features than a 2k9 one. WHATS WRONG WITH IT!!! also note, im using the same pc hardwere to talk to both phones and even a back up XDA mini, both xdas do everything well.
now, if i was to flash this thing, possably update tyo wm 6.5 (6.1 atm) would it, A. get rid of the t-mobile branding and B. work as you would expect it to!?
stress levels reising. please shed some light on this for me.
tia.
i forgot to follow this up for you all.. turns out there was indeed an issue with the softwere, somone may of tampered with it before and mesed things up. oh well i sold it to the local phone shop for almost what i paid for it so no loss
I am a die hard WM user - never used any other OS. Was awaiting WP7 for months!
It is a dumb blonde! Pretty, but useless.
1. Keyboard is good, but no option to longpress for numbers
2. Phone dialler - no option to dial name of contact on phone dialler
3. Can't search calendar for specific appointments
4. Office hub is useless - can't organize in folder, ending up with loooong list of documents.
5. Word mobile is hopeless for formatting compared to WM6.5
6. Adobe PDF documents - can't be organized in folders. Can't even rename files
7. No video calling
8. The stupidest thing: Can't transfer files from PC to phone. What the ^$%^$ !
I have to go to Dropbox every time!
Buy an android phone lol
6.5
Stay with a WM 6.5 device. I kept my FUZE but after some time with the Focus would NEVER use it or any other WM device again. I felt a lot like you do at first, but that quickly wore off the more I used WP7. If you already bought it and feel the way you do, sell it and get something else. I used to see a lot of rants like this months ago but see almost no posts like yours recently. I think you should have posted this months ago, you might have found some allies, but not today.

Well said. I was going to say pretty much the same thing. I struggled going from WM to WP at first (I still miss swype dearly) but after a few days of WP7 I could never go back despite some shortcomings.
Goodbye 6.5
The things I thought I could not live without in WM6.5 have turned out to be silly. I don't know why I felt that way. Anyway, many apps I used on 6.5 are now available on WP7, and more coming daily. The news of the potential features in Mango take away many if not most of my concerns.
I think we need to remember that WP7 is very young still, iOS didn't have copy and paste also when it came out... Give it a year or so I'm sure WP7 will be up there.

My grouse is that WM 6.5 had so many features that have been stripped down to the point that WP7 is inconvenient. Why strip down Office to a bare minimum? Why remove the smart dialler in the phone? Why remove the long press for numbers in the keyboard? Why no USB functionality? Moreover, there are inconsistencies within WP7 itself. Why no voice GPS? E.g., why no search option in calendar? Why no zune support for synching data files? Why no wifi tethering?
I am not comparing WP7 to other OS. I am comparing it with Microsoft's own previous product. 6.5 to 7 is meant to be an upgrade, but it is actually a downgrade.
Why deliver a stripped down product when the previous product (6.5) had all these? And now, they have to catch up with "updates" with all the attendant bad publicity, and poor sales.
They had 3 years to get it right. They had at least 8 months in the beta testing when people clamored for copy-paste.
Stupid clowns.

That is a biggie, agreed. And let us not forget custom ring tones (sure you can sideload, but really MS screwed the pooch here).

In some important ways it is a downgrade, in other ways it is an upgrade. All in all WP7 may be better due to newer/faster hardware, yet the FAIL of lackluster Bluetooth integration, no rSAP, no custom ring tones, no way to sync files easily, no wireless tethering, etc, etc and yes etc is really a let down. MS always seem to go three steps forward and two steps back, then perhaps release ONE of the two 'lost' steps like it is a huge improvement and technology advancement. If MS does not get their act together and release what many consider normal features, the Android market will leave MS in the dust.
MS can do much better, so what is keeping them from reaching some simple goals every other major phone OS has been doing for many years (including MS' 6.x)? THAT is the real question.
I think the worst thing is the wifi sleep issue that no one can seem to find a fix for. I bought one a week ago and its been sitting in the box while I use my desire. I just can't use it properly without having the option to leave wifi on

I agree 100%. This issue and another big Wi-Fi issue are the bane of my existence on WP7. Anyone have trouble connecting to different Wi-Fi networks? This is by far the biggest nuisance I deal with. What I mean by this is, for example: I am at work all day connected to the office Wi-Fi. I come home and my Quantum refuses to connect to my home network. It tries to connect for about 15 seconds or so, then eventually gives up. The only way to get it behaving properly is to reboot the phone. Turning Wi-Fi off then back on, disassociating with all remembered networks, etc. all do nothing. Don't know if this is unique to me because there is just something specific about the networks I am connecting to that creates "The Perfect Storm" and throws the Wi-Fi off, or if this is a widespread problem. Either way, I can't wait until it is resolved.

I don't get this issue at all mate, i pretty much do the same - connect to a network at work, then go home, it automatically connects fine for me at either location. I also connect to Wifi networks at my parents and GF's mum's and it connects flawlessly to either one without any hassle.
Though i must admit, the ability to keep wireless on even when the phone goes to sleep is a must! It will however stay on if you plug the phone into its charger, though not always convenient.

I don't get this issue either except on my nook and I think my wireless router @ that location is the issue (pretty sure of it). The WPA only a select few ip addresses on certain mac addresses for some reason so if the address is taken by another device it doesn't connect I thought my router was smart guess I was wrong but once I forget the network and then reapply the security settings it connects, I have no problem with my other router.
After purchasing an Acer Iconia a500 , I realized that it isnt just WP7 users who whine and complain about the latest upgrades , its tech wide ! I mean some of the gripes you have are laudible ,but in the long run 6.5 is done , so if you long for that experience it wont last , sure theres still some people using Windows 98 , XP , but at some point it becomes so outdated it becomes useless, you will find wm 6.5 fits this category , sometimes you have to go back to go forward and that is the case with WP7 !
Trust me the "copy paste" function is useless , I havent even used it yet (or missed not having it) , As I said I have a tablet with Honeycomb on it , its really irratating hearing all the babies crying about updates , the damn OS has been out for a month and these crybabies are whining "it doesnt do this ,it doesnt do that" , the thing is like most devices that are new it will not have certain things right off the bat , yes the device can be rooted a plus , but somethings cant be changed yet , just like the missing api's wp7 , that stuff will come , theres so many talented people in XDA , JUST RELAX AND ENJOY THE RIDE!,

" OFFICE HUB"
is a joke
microsoft word is such a pain to use that formatting within the document is impossible!!
there is no way to save formatting. so If I need to write everything in red. I have to hit format every single time and then select an option. that along with the keyboard taking up the entire length of the document.
BLEH!
adobe reader is the slowest pdf viewer ive ever used!!! and i remember using an 8125 and reading pdfs on it..
The wifi issues are a pain!! they are so the carrier can force us to use there data plan. I want to use WIFI why did i buy the phone with wifi capabilities if it wont even stay on!!
The contacts are again a pain to search through.
there is no way to delete lines within a conversation..
Or Deleting multiple text messages.
Microsoft is really falling short on this one.

this has nothing to do with XDA.....
this has to do with Microsoft developing a poor operating software for my 499.99$ phone. This is a rant about the missing features that are obvious to a smart phone and you are saying relaxing dont worry.. this is what i purchased the phone for and it is severely lacking in a lot of areas.

If you were missinformed of what WP7 was and could do at the time of your purchase, its your own fault... grab your 499.99$ and take it back, problem solved.

I find it pretty funny people moaning about the lack of features WP7 has and how great Android and IOS are.
I had Android from the very start when hardly anyone knew what it was and i had that brick of a phone (although i quite liked it lol) called the G1.
Android was released on 1.0 software however i thought it was a practical joke no lie the battery would last 5 hours if you was lucky and the phone would heat up like a microwave oven besides the various other bugs etc including freezing up completely. It took Google 5 updates until we got the first named update "Cupcake" 1.5 before android was even half usable and had copy & paste etc. And to be honest it should of started on 1.5 so my G1 only got 1 decent update to 1.6.
Its the same with all the other android phones i have had the SE X10 did go from 1.6 to 2.3 only because legions of p*ssed off people including myself moaned at sony like there was no tomorrow when they said it would only get 2.1 (i think).
Etc Etc the point it Android is way too fragmented and buying a Android phone is like entering a lottery with regards to updates and added features etc.
Same with Apple it took them at least a year to add even copy & paste not too mention all the other stuff that was missing like MMS & Adobe Flash (ah yeah still ain't got that one).
Microsoft have given us a much better OS than both Google or Apple right off the bat and the amount of added features Mango is bringing is pretty amazing adding more stuff than 1 or 2 major android updates and even getting so things in the first year of WP7 that iPhone hasn't got after 5 years.
do not waste your time rooting your archos 101 or any other android tablet in hopes of using your android phone like samsung galaxy s because it is ad-hoc
and no matter what you read on here..it does not work. no one can tell you how to do it or what to do because they themselfs have not done it. it will not connect it will only waste your time. also do not get fooled into thinking that by using wifi tether 3.1 or 3.2 beta will get you infrastructure as this is also a pack of lies. i did this followed what (simple steps) and my archos 101 does not even find it. so much for that idea.
so unless someone can prooth it working from a galaxy s to a android tablet...it will remain a myth.
i have successfully connected my Archie 101IT to my galaxy s2 using Wi-Fi hot spot. Standard android functionality. No rooting etc required
i have tried so many ways...sometime it will stick on finding ip address or it will say connected i will leave it a few min...it is showing wifi signal yet i still can not use the internet...so all the people who said they have done it with there galaxy samsung 1 not 2 as i have the first one, are not helping
what are the settings ? no one here knows how to do it...yet they say they have done it

Anybody got the "wpa_supplicant" works in P6210 for Tethering over Adhoc?
also looking for adhoc on Galaxy Tab p6210 wifi only
Does anyone have a solution to this yet? Really want this to work.. already zapped my wifi on my first p6210 Tab and had to return it.
Please develop this someone.. for GT-P6210 7.0 Plus, WIFI ONLY, Honeycomb 3.2, already Rooted and running stable.
*Looking for: AdHoc PROVEN solution for P6210 (Already Rooted) So I can tether my Tab through my Smartphones wifi (Cell phone (mine is nokia) acts as 3g to wifi hotspot. thats why i got a wifi only tablet!)
Come on Geniuses!
Another way to bypass.
If you have wmwifiRouter installed in your wm smart phone, you may use this way to tether your Tab to the phone. you will need a hardware Access Point to bridge the wifi:
http://support.wmwifirouter.com/knowledge/KB0806019/
It works well for me, just for temp use though. still waiting for the wpa_supplicant to come out.
GT-P6210 Adhoc: Need solution
I looked up WMWifiRouter and found that its sister program for my nokia is JoikuSpot and I was running that steadily for a while for my laptop.. works fine for normal wifi (not adhoc) because our android devices block adhoc connections.. my laptop and desktop work fine... its only the android LOOK HERE -> www .joiku.com/help ... Top of page under "Solutions for Top 6 questions" .. Line #3 ..
>> 3.Make sure your connecting device (e.g. laptop or tablet) allows AD HOC WIFI connection. Some Android tablets block ad hoc wifi connections.<<
So we need developers (not me i'm stupid) to work on this.. Please guys!
What I meant was you may tranfer your smart phone's adhoc to a normal wifi through a hardware AP, then the Tab can pick it without even rooted.
need help
i see what u mean.. I cant find another ap for my nokia to do that. Also, i feel like android is blocking good features so big cell companies make more money.. I already have an unlimited data plan thru an offbrand carrier. If my tab didnt block adhoc i would love my tab more.. But im thinking about an apple product.. Boo i hate apple.
Im gonna check back everyday till someone notices me.. Please help
wpa_supplicant question..
Ok so my question is.. if u mess up wpa_supplicant is there a way to restore it.. i guess my first attempt at modifying this failed and bricked my tab.. is there a way to get it back? is it part of the Official ROM found under this thread:
> [Official FIRMWARES] Galaxy Tab Plus P6200/P6210/SGH-T869
> Official ROM for P6210
> ----------------
> US Retail Version
> ----------------
> www .multiupload.com/SYSK9QMO6S
> Thanks to clubtech
I mean this file is kinda important and i wasnt able to get the wifi working after my first tab attempt.. and i believe i flashed the above rom (but not sure)
Did u find a way to restore the wpa_supplicant ?
Help develpers, I'd really like to be able to connect to ad hoc networks with my Galaxy tab plus. We need a modified wpa_supplicant that will work. I've tried the ones out now and they break the wifi. Reverting back to the original brings it back.
Bad News
There is a larger issue of Samsung not releasing the source code for their tabs that is driving this issue. The Gtab 7.0+ uses an Atheros WLAN chip so the wpa_supplicant file must be modified not only for the proper version of the OS but also for the proper networking hardware which in this case is that Atheros chip (Broadcomm is a more commonly used WLAN chip). Since Samsung is so far refusing to make public the source code for this tab (even just the source code that would cover the the networking drivers) it is not likely that a developer can or will even want to try and take this on. If there was another manufacturer that utilized the same Atheros 600 WLAN chip and were also decent enough to release their source code, then this could possibly still move forward without Samsung's assistance. Unfortunately such a tab from another manufacturer seems to just be a mythical creature. Gary9d has asked Samsung for the source code but so far has not had much luck. A petition (see link at the end of this post) has been started that asks Samsung to release their source code to developers. Samsung may turn a blind eye and deaf ear the the whole petiton movement but it is worth a try. I beleive Gary9d has another thread in this forum addressing his frustrating attempts to get Samsung to do the right thing. Last time I checked that thread there was a small glimmer of hope becuase a Samsung rep had reached out and established contact with him.
http://www.change.org/petitions/samsung-mobile-help-third-party-development-achieve-full-potential-of-purchased-devices
Damn! If i knew that a little earlier i just bought one, although iets a great device.
Hope someone can still figure this out. Thanks for sharing this i think im gonna stop
Searching for now.
Try Bluetooth
As an interim fix until someone makes a working WPA_Supplicant file, try using bluetooth to connect your P6210 to your phone. I'm using a Motorola Triumph phone with bluetooth connecting it to my P6210.
It works like a champ and uses less battery on the phone.
Yeah works for me to, i use foxfi on my xperia X10 with corresponding pdanet app on my galaxy tab + works great i must say!
