Hi,
Before switching to the Wizard - I had a Magician with a SanDisk WIFI card. This little card came with the SanDisk wifi utility which was really great since is gave you an overview of all availlable networks - their encryption state, signal strength etc... all in a neat table and very nice to use.
The internal Wifi software that comes with the wizard is really lacking....
Can you guys recommend a really good utility to discover and connect to wifi access points?
I am already using wififofum - which is slow to load, sluggish and not very flexible.
I have seen hitchhiker (http://www.kasuei.com/hitchhiker/)- but read that many users have experienced major bugs and errors with it .
Any other good option - quick, flexible and easy?
Cheers.
I use PocketWinc, works really well for me
Does all what you want.
Ik gebruik dus PocketWinc, en dat doet exact wat jij wilt.
Vind het fijner dan alle andere vanwege wat jij al opnoemde.
Enige nadeel, hij is niet gratis...

[edit] damn F5/refresh XD [/edit]
PocketWinC
it's not free but not expensive.
8 to 9 euro's including updates.
how did you get pocketwinc workin with a wizard?
in my opinion the best id wififofum 2.0 which which now works with WM5, lts you search for networks and see which have WEP enabled and which don't allowing you to have FREE internet access.
I sat in an industrial state the other morning waiting for the garage to open, picked up a linksys router with no security and wahey, I was surfing the net FREE!!!
Plus to double the deal the software is free, haven't got a link, do a search on google, the latest version in the forum.

I'm using it as well. Found several unprotected wireless networks, but I never could log in into the net work. Please could you explain what I have to do?
Thnx
i installed wififofum after you mentioned it, works good. but my problem is the service provider in my area requires a proxy, i installed netfront and put the proxy but still, no luck. it connects to the network but i can't brows the web or use messenger.
(i know this is a different topic but i posted a new topic and no one replied )

Also like Wififofum not 100% sure how useful it will prove in the next few weeks, but i'll soon see
For the proxy - anyone with answers, post in http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37981 to keep answers with questions
an other great application is WiFi companion, but also not free

I have WifiFum and really like it.

And if you want a good working free utility i can tell you that Hitchhiker from Kasuei.com is working great.
REMARK you need to install .NET Compact Framework 2.0
The link is on their page, but to install you first need to add it to the pocket PC using your PC (do not install yet on your device, but first disconnect the USB cable and kill the activesync on your PDA). Afterwards you can install it on your device (do not install on sd card!)

the wifi connection manager that comes with this device is really starting to annoy me. it tries to connect to ap's that aren't even within range. for example i'll be at starbucks connect to 'tmobile' then go to a friends house and connect to 'linksys' get home and expect it to connect to my home network but when i go to the wireless page it says 'connecting' to tmobile then it will go and try to connect to linksys..... ugh it really pisses me off!!

You want to create an "Ad hoc" wireless network between two devices.
I've just started using pocketwinc and it has the ability to start an ad hoc network, once it's created you can just connect to the new network using the other ppc. I'm not sure how to transfer files once you're connected but I expect one of the improved file explorer apps will be able to do it.
I've just purchased PocketWinc and whenever I start it, I get an error:
Unable to locate adapter.
If it was turned off, please turn it on now.

What's going on? My wireless is enabled???
Hmm, I just checked the vendors website and they don't list the Wizard (or any of it's psudonims) as supported hardware.
How are you guys getting it to work?
I'm pretty happy with my new HTC Hero, but I'm having a lot of trouble with the WiFi connection. I connects fine and shows "good" or "excelent" signal strength on my home network. However the speed is very slow and if I go to Android Market it loads the different apps very slowly an looses connection often: It says "No connection" and I press the "Retry" button...). It is not just a problem i Android Marked. Loading pages in the browser, facebook etc. is extremely slow when on WiFi. When I'm using EDGE everything is A LOT faster and I don't get "A network error has occured. Retry or cancel...etc.".
I have tried different settings on my access point, but nothing seems to help. I have (tempoarily) disabled encryption, tried swiching channels, using B instead og G setting, and manually setting: Gateway, DNS etc... In the end it got a bit frustrating so I tried a factory reset. But WiFi is still very slow. If you have any suggestions to what the problem might be I would be very grateful.
I had a similar problem with my AP (D-Link DIR 655) and tried to set it to use the same communications setup as another AP that worked properly. Whatever I did with encryption, keys and channels made no difference on my AP. The solution on this AP was to set it to 802.11g only (it was b+g+n), and it has worked fine since.
I do however suspect that there may be some serious issues lurking in the linux kernel that is used on the hero (2.6.27). Wifi was a nightmare on that release with notebooks too, and core parts of the wifi-stack has been replaced since. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a significant improvement in wifi-performance whenever there's an Android release that include a 2.6.30 or later kernel.
I have been having the same issues but my wifi didnt work with the browser, or youtube. I downloaded Opera mini and wifi works fine. With factory browser i can go to google and it will load and search but once i click on links found it hangs and wont connect. I am so frustrated my sim is going back into my iphone 3gs until an update is released this sucks big time
It is a bit disappointing if this is a general issue, but I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one with this type of problem.
Maybe this could also be a HTC-issue? I remember my HTC Tytn II where there was a slider where you could choses between "performance" or "battery saving". I remember that I couldn't get the WiFi to run properly unless I set it to highest performance. I consumed more power but it worked with this setting.
On my Hero, the HSDPA connection is for some reason faster than my ADSL2+ (24Mbps) connection. Rather odd..
Same here. The 3G/EDGE is a lot faster than my 20 Mbit ADSL. It makes no sense
Why does it take so long to make a connection to my router via wifi?
This can sometimes take 10 - 15 minutes before I have a connection.
With my windows mobile device this takes only a few seconds.
I'm experiencing the same issue on my Hero (with updated HTC firmware). I've also tried playing around with my routers settings to no avail. My Hero is basically useless for browsing on WIFI.
I'm curious, does anyone running an alternative rom experience this? If not I may look into rooting my phone..
Root your phone and do this
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps
It will fix it.

you've had 57 posts and dont know what rooting is;p aha (not trying to be a ****, just found that funny:])
when you root your phone you gain root access and can do just about anything, like install apps that need root access! there are guides in the dev section on how to, and if you do a search there is a thread on what root allows you to do!
i dont know if that command will fix your problem though, sorry!

I've been a "windows mobile" user for a long time.
I know what "root access" is in the general Unix environment.
But I don't really know how it works on the Android OS.
I'm more of a Windows guy.
It's my first time messing on Android, I got tired of Windows Mobile.
frem
Just my humble opinion. This is a problem that should be fixed by htc.
If rooting fixes it it's good, but it can't be a requirement to get it working properly.
I mean you buy a phone with wifi, you expect it to be as fast as your provider is... Getting less is just not getting what you paid for.
Has anyone mailed HTC about this problem? I hardly ever use wifi but tried it today
and indeed my hsdpa is lot's faster than my 20mbit connection @ home.
Help us pleaseeee

That pretty much cut the speed in half for me.
Seriously the wifi issue is a big problem for me. I don't have a 3g unlimited plan.
Basically when i activate the wifi i start a application like update weather or check a webpage or update tweets, it works then connection drop and i can't connect to anything.
I have to deactivate wifi then reactivate to get like 40 seconds surfing and downloading apps on the market.
IS everyone having the same wifi problem ?
It happened on every access point not just the one at my place.
Please help me, is it my phone that has a hardware problem ?
frem
you gotta think of it this way...
most people who dont have problems arnt gunna make it to this thread because there not searching for it! So your mostly gunna get replys saying "same here"
so im guessing most people dont have this problem.. although it could be a specific rom on a specific carrier or something... see if you have anything in common with other people with this problem, if not, maybe it is hardware
WiFi channels
Have you tried changing the wifi channel in your router settings in case there is interferance with a nearby router on the same channel? Although you would experience slow wifi on any wifi device (laptops)..but worth checking.
I've just done a speedtest on my phone using the speedtest.net app and do get just over half the download speed on my phone (5-6mbps) opposed to my pc (wired 9-10mbps) and laptop (wireless 9-10mbps). So knowing my wireless is set up correctly, it does show some loss in speed with the hero. See how much of a loss you get?
Adam
Thank you for your reply. I think i figured it out. I am at the countryside right now and im connnected on a diferent acess point and it's working perfectly i'm actually writing this post in WiFi mode on the hero. So the problem is from the other access point i tested. i already tried changing the Channel number. I use a french provider that use access points called "freebox"
FYI the problem with the hero and some wifi access points is well known and is being forwarded to htc by Vodafone.

I've successfully installed and used the WiFi sharing app but have found a few things that would be useful such as:
Variable length, alpha and/or numeric Key for access.
Ability to turn ON/OFF the SSID broadcast.
MAC Address Filtering (limit access to certain MAC addresses).
Ability to support WEP and WPA (one or the other).
Anyone have any thoughts on this or registry mods that may implement the above? I just don't feel very secure with broadcasting the SSID and not having a more robust key or encryption.
how did you get the wifi sharing to work? i have tried numerous avenues, and two different cab. files, but i cannot get it to work. here is the short thread i started to get some help, but i still cant get it to work. any suggesttions you have? thanks i really need this to work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=674769
I just installed the .cab file, re-booted the HTC HD2, and when I turned on sharing I just entered the desired SSID and a 10 digit numeric key for my PC to use when logging into the HTC. That's it, nothing special.
I'm just looking for alternatives that do NOT broadcast the SSID and have better encription and key alternatives.

I honestly haven't seen any solutions that incorporate all that, though I have seen the same question asked several times. It's not really an perfect solution (mainly the fact it only does ad-hoc connections), just gets the job done in a pinch.
cornholio, which exact cab did you use that worked for you? There's a couple available, and we're still trying to get one of them to work for poor tippingvan here...
I use "XDA-Tom_Codon CM Wifi Internet Sharing"

the xda wifi sharing is working great on my TMOUS HD2, but I dont understand the different options under "internet connection" heading. wap.voicestream...., internet2.voicestream....,etc.
currently using internet3.voicestream and all is fine. But it seems to only allow a tethered connection when I have my wifi toggled 'on'. what if Im out of wifi range?
uhm i use Tom Codon's CMinternetsharing but i wish i could pair to more devices. i want it to be a wifi router not wireless tether. help?

In my experience, if you use the epc.tmobile.com or wap.voicestream.com, you may possibly run into 2 issues. Both of those can be throttled, and if you use wifi sharing while roaming, it may deny access and all you get is a white page telling you your roaming, internet plan not appliable or some crap.
On my hd2, if i use internet2.voicestream.com, i can both roam with it while wifi sharing and i don't get throttled. Have not messed with internet3 but that apn is for vpn users, you get a direct ip vs. a kinda nat ip on the rest. Again, this is my experience. Your milage may vary
If I am at home using my personal router, my wifi works great and I have no problems at all. However, when I am at the library, which is everyday for me, if i try to use their wifi I instantly get this error message that the page cannot be displayed even though my phone claims i am connected to their wifi.
anyone else have this issue? it is extremely annoying and i downloaded wifi fixer but it didnt fix anything.
any ideas?
If it works at home then I doubt it's an issue on your side, sometimes on networks such as school campuses and libraries you have to register your device on the network for it to be able to access the internet. Have you asked the library on how you can do that?
Well it is a public library and they have fliers up that tell you how to use their wifi. I thought it was an issue with my phone so I didn't bother asking a librarian. If no one else has a solution I will definitely be asking tomorrow.

they use something similar (this may be exactly what your talking about and I just dont know it by that name) but its where once you are connected to their internet, you go onto your web and a page pops up asking you to accept their terms of use. the prob i have tho is i cant even get onto that page

well, Android has had that issue ever since, and it is still not fixed.
I think Samsung Galaxy S gets around it in the Wi-Fi proxy config (under settings, Wireless and Network, hit the menu button at the bottom of the screen, and go to Advanced), but you need to know the proxy hostname and port (I think the default will be 80 for HTTP requests).
I haven't tested it though.
Here's the issue log from code.google.com
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1273&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
Mine cannot get on WiFi at the rink I go to. Other people could not get their notebooks or netbooks onto that WiFi as well. My HD2 connects to that WiFi just fine, though.
I don't think it's a Vibrant-specific issue.
I've had a similar problem with the wifi network on my campus. It redirects to a logon page that the vibrant won't even display. Apparently the android browser has an issue with security certificates that aren't configured properly. Froyo is supposed to fix it, but in the mean time try connecting with the firefox browser. I'm able to connect with it, then switch back to the regular browser or any other program. Once you're logged in you're good to go.

I use CM_InternetSharing app on my WM mobile phone to create a hot spot. The software works great and all my Windows pc's & my brothers iPad find my cell phone and gain a internet connect but the Elocity A7 does not connect. The Elocity A7 does connect to my home network but it does not find the mobile hot spot.
Note: WiFi Analyzer finds my WM phone but I can't connect - So I guess it has to do something with the WEP encryption between WM & Andriod in obtaining a IP.
My elocity is on build 0127.
Any ideas?
I have to install the adhoc-fix.zip by dexter on to see my hotspot I have a hotspot on my virgin mobile phone . do a search here on the forum for adhoc-fix.zip and it will give you the link. You rename it to update.zip and install like the mods on the a7 but you do not have to clear stuff.

I run the barnicle legacy on my phone to make my hot spot. I have a virgin mobile samsung intercept.
I believe barnicle is for Andriod -- so you are communicating Andriod to Android. My phone is Windows Mobile running XDA CM Internet Sharing. My A7 will not connect to my phone while other PCs (windows) in my home can connect to my phone.
Im in the same boat and I cant get the darn thing to connect when to the XDA-wifi-sharing (adhoc) network on my wm touch pro 2. I wish someone could solve this. I used to be able to dual boot my phone into android 2.2 (rooted) system and set up the hot spot on that and it would connect but that doesnt even work now for A7. I wish someone who really knows this stuff would give it some attention. Ive looked everywhere I find a search query. This is especially annoying since I cant switch to a different phone for at least another six months and I use the phone to get remote access to the internet for all my hardware.
I've got a work around if you are up to it. I starting thinking about a previous user using barnicle. So I ported Andriod to my WM6.5 TP2 CMDA http://sites.google.com/site/androidport/downloads. I launched Andriod from my WM and went to Android Market place and downloaded barnicle. Lauched barnicle and connected my A7. It works. I just have to remember to boot into Andriod when I want to tether.

Glad to see you keeping this alive. I did the same thing except the android rom i installed on tp2 had a wifi hotspot feature built into the wireless settings. Its a pain going back and forth though and i find wm is way more stable. I saw someone mention wifi encryption ane cmod on a file. I dont know much about these and how to fiddle with it but im gonna keep searchin.

Ninetoes49 was nice enough to povide a link to the adhoc-fix.zip file at the following site:

After installing,, my A7 saw the barnicle SSID. I haven't used WPA yet but at least the wifi link is working.
I have windows mobile phone and barnicle is for android. From reading alot, i guess froyo (android 2.2) has problems with WEP connections. The tethering program i use on windows mobile, xda wifi-sharing, uses wep encryption only. Im wondering if something can be changed within the code to make it open like it is in android tethering program which works fine. I would keep using android on windows mobile phone except has no bluetooth functionality and its freezes up a lot. By the way, ive noticed problems with the a7 dropped from home wep networks ive been on too.

I wish I could help more but I am not familiar with Windows Mobile products.
I have been wondering if I should even fool with encryption on my mobile setup. I figure no one can jump on if its not running. I only use it occassionaly. Is it possible that enough people in a given area could "clog" the connection if I don't limit access with encryption?
wep
I'm assuming you have a key assigned in the WEP setup. Basically WEP is not secure since there are tools readily available to crack the key you use in less than 10min. If you don't broadcast the ssid that would make it more difficult since most people would not see the network readily. You would have to try that to see if you can access with an ssid that is not being broadcast. Some systems have a problem connecting to wireless networks that aren't broadcasting the ssid.
I am connecting to my home net using WPA/WPA2 with no problem. I have not connected to a tethering capability.

I have a TP2 (Sprint) and had the same issues as you do. I was using the XDA wifi sharing app but have found an older version of wmwifirouter that works and doesn't require a wep.
There is one caveat though. Using the app has broke my internet sharing one time causing me to have to clear storage. So, if you check the net for wmwifirouter 0.91 and use that, you should be able to connect after the adhoc fix is flashed on your a7.

There is one caveat though. Using the app has broke my internet sharing one time causing me to have to clear storage. So, if you check the net for wmwifirouter 0.91 and use that, you should be able to connect after the adhoc fix is flashed on your a7.

Thanks Marbieskarb -- for the older version tip of wimwifirouter 0.91 http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=152502&d=1233460803 It worked for me too but after I applied the adhoc fix discuss earlier in this thread. So, now I do not have to dual boot my TP2 to Andriod just to use a tethering app. Great. I'm running wimwifirouter on TP 2 WM6.5.

Here is the link to the older free version WmWifiRouter that worked for me.
