Hello everynyan
just a small question. I've got a WM5 device, a Bluebird Pidion BIP-1300 POS (POS is supposed to stand for point of sale, but in this case it surely means pile of **** :angel. Anyway, their WIFI configuration is set to connect to a particular SSID and I need a way to completely disable the SSID search so they connect only to this preconfigured one.
I can disable the notification that new SSIDs were found, but this is not quite what I need.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance
Install WM6 that should help.
Unfortunately I cannot do that because the manufacturer does not support WM6 on these devices and it is not possible to install custom ROM because the devices would go into tamper mode - these are credit card processing terminals, so the security is high.

Hi everyone!
This is my first post and I would just like to say that I have found the information on xda-devlopers and these forums very useful while lurking over the last few weeks.
I am working on a commercial development project, using the O2 XDA IIs, with the goal of building a kiosk style interface to a number of web applications accessed via WiFi and GPRS. The project is progressing well and we are now at the stage of refining our prototype.
We have modified the extended ROM on the devices to reinstall our application and settings after a cold boot. However, after a cold boot the device does not automatically enable the WiFi hardware and driver. To enable them it is necessary to check the "Wireless LAN ON" box in the WLanMgr applet. The first time that this box is checked after a cold boot the device driver is registered in the active device list (HKLM\Drivers\Active) and from the investigations that I have performed so far it would appear the it also uploads the WiFi controller firmware at this time.
My question is: Does anyone know how to achieve this programmatically, i.e. without using the WLanMgr applet. My current assumption is that ActivateDeviceEx is the function that I need to call and that I need to pass in either the firmware data or the location of the firmware data. I currently have no idea what form the driver is expecting this information in.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Nigel
He all,
I got some connection problems.
If i insert my WiFi card(sandisk 256+WiFi) my I-mate detects it and the antanna is displayed in de buttom of my screen but whenni go to my browser(internet) the message :Cannot connect with current conection settings. To change your connection setting, tap settings.
But i have no id how to change the settings to make it work with my wireless network.
Also the WiFi card couses to freeze the system every once and while.If i take the card out everything is okey again.
I got the I-mate jam with latest rom and radio drivers and I already installed the drivers of the WiFi card.
I hope you guys can help me out with this one
Thanks in advance

I had a similar problem with my XDAII, believe it is likely to be a known problem and related to the dual function of the card.
Have you tried the website for updated drivers?
The other options are to ensure that it you have the correct settings for Work or Internet to connect to.
I assume you are connecting to a wireless Access Point on a home based WIFI system, or are you trying to connect to public hot spots?
Contacted clubimate?
It started after I installed the latest rom version you guys think I migh work if I installed the older version?>
GreetZ
Nick
which rom are you referring to, an original manufacturer version or a cooked rom from this site?
if it is a licensed version, I would contact imate, have you installed the latest drivers from the hardware supplier?
I think you may have to go to your wireless settings and ensure connect to the internet is selected. also,scan local networks and ensure you are connecting to the correct network.
my problem when I got that message was cause it was connecting to the guy next door with wep key required.
are you able to connect to your host pc via wifi using a mapped network drive? or are you simply using a wifi hotspot?
if using a wifi hotspot, you should select auto connect to non-preferred networks.
start - settings - connections and choose wireless or wifi or network and have a look at what is actually happening in the network configurations. if you are really struggling still, try posting some screen shots of your network connection settings
sorry misread post
Just to end this topic.
I returned it to sadisk and they said it was the memmory function.
I couldn't get a new one form the store i bought it so I got my money back,
I now have a new one without the extra memory.

I have been seeking help in the following thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301497) on how get my WiFi Working on my T-Mobile MDA with little success. If you read the tread you will find the following:
Wifi Router:
WRT56G Linksys, set in b/g mode and WPA-PSK secured
Other Wifi Devices
Acer Laptop - connects no problem.
iPaq 6315 - (T-Mob) Connects no problem.
Both devices easily connect to other routers and networks without problems.
My MDA
SID unlocked
CID Recently Unlocked
Latest T-Mob ROM
RegKeys - dot11SupportedRateMask (1) and ... RateMaskG (8) are believed to be accurate and viewed through SKTools Registry Explorer.
BlueTooth and IR can communicate with Laptop and iPaq.
About the Wifi
When I go to COMM Manager and click the wifi button, it shows the windows loading icon in the middle of the screen... it rotates for about 20 seconds then disappears and goes back to the wifi off status display. If I go to Wifi settings it does not let me enter any information into the settings.
I have also tried the djvw_htc_wizard_optimizer.cab which was supposed to fix the RegKeys set in the T-Mob shipped Wizard Settings, but that did not work either.
So I am looking for a few answers and some direction.
Firstly - What software, ROM, cabs, etc can I try to make the wifi work (provide links if available).
Secondly - What other registry Keys might be affecting the functionality of the wifi?
Third - If nothing else works, what kind of tests or repairs can be done to fix the hardware responsible for the wifi?
I know it has wifi access. The mfg specs say so, the forums and other resources say so, but nothing I have done or found has fixed the problem...
thanks for the help.

If you have reinstalled the official TMobile ROM on your phone and you still have this issue, then you appear to have a hardware issue with your MDA (just as I indicated in my last post to you in the other thread). If its under warranty, then call T-Mobile and tell them the WiFi doesn't work. They will probably have you try things, and then send you a new replacement device and then you'll be good to go.
And yes, these devices do have WiFi (I use WiFi on my 8125 all the time) and I know it works on the MDA out of the box (a friend of mine has one that is completely stock and he uses WiFi on it). So this issue is definetly with your phone (either a bad rom flash (which I doubt, but its possible) or its hardware (most likely it appears now after discussions in the other thread)).
Good luck...
To get your device to connect to the router is one matter - do you use AES or TKIP? Stock WM5 doesn't do AES.
Now, if the WiFi light turns on, have you tried using WiFiFoFum? If it doesn't, you might want to have a look at the power management states in the registry. I followed a bit of your thread but never read it through so I'm not sure what you have tried.
Power Management Settings??? Elaborate on this please...
Also router is TKIP.
Wizard is second hand, I live in Belize and thus warranty is probably invalid. So unfortunately, that will not work.
What are the chances of a ROM flash not working for just the WIFI.
Thanks for the help...
I´ve developed a simple app for scanning wireless devices for the pocketpc. Its features are:
- It´s been designed to be usable with your fingers but keeping a considerable amount of information on the screen
- Scans for wireless devices (APs and Clients) by issuing DeviceIoControl calls to the underlying driver (ndisuio)
- Sorts networks based on signal strength and displays the strength using the typical windows vertical bars
- Displays if network is protected or not (using a keylock image if it is)
- Further details of the wireless device can be seen when clicking on the device
- Scanning speed is configurable (5 possibilities)
And that´s all for the time being. Hope you like it!!!
P.S. I am currently developing a PE/Analyzer and ARM disassembler at the moment. I may release a beta soon to know your opinion.
UPDATE: I´ve been making some changes to the app and after some time I´ve decided to make it more eye-candy and "touch friendly". I´ve rewritten all the interface code and I´ve been testing it lately. Some options in the menu do not still work properly but I´m working on it...
I´m currently testing the WZC API to be able to connect to an AP with a simple click. When I manage to support at least open and WEP authentication (I´m now facing some issues with WEP encryption) I´ll post a new version of the app.
As for now:
* Scan begins right away if a wireless adapter is found
* Wireless device information is shown/hidden by double-clicking on any item
* Automatically connect to an AP (keep your an item tapped for a while)[TODO]
P.S.: Suggestions are welcome.
this is wonderful.
few suggestions:
1. after searching, there should be an option to connect to the selected network.
2. the app has to be run while WiFi is on. if there's a possibility to have it refresh wireless adapters automatically so it detects wifi even if it's turned on AFTER the app is run it would be great.
3. if the + sign near the network name could be like twice as big, it would really help controlling the app.
other than that this is really really wonderful. scanning is MEGAfast and the app is straightforward.. no bull****.
one thing i don't understand is, which clients does it detect? my laptop is running on wifi right now and it doesn't detect it. unless i'm misunderstood the meaning of "client"
thank you!

Hi there!
1. Good news: If you keep the finger/stylus pressing any of the wireless device, you will have the option to connect to it.
Bad news: It is not working properly (i can not debug my wifi adapter with activesync on...). There is a problem here and I have two possibilities: issue ioctls to the driver to connect to an ap (too much work and testing so I find it unfeasible for WPA and such) or use wireless zero (I do not really like this way, but I may use this way if I have time to test). Each method has its advantages/drawbacks and it´s not a trivial issue to resolve
2. I could do 2 things. Either check for adapters every "n" seconds if no adapter is found or try to enable the adapter if no adapters found.
3. I´ll have a look at that.
Thank you for the feedback!
Really good app. Later I will check to see if this can fix my problem with GRemote

1.hehe i'm sorry but i can't see the good news fit here
i tried keeping my finger pressed and it doesn't do anything..
2. i assume checking for a connection every 5 seconds wouldn't make a difference cpu-usage-wise, so that would be great.
3. thanks.
4. if it's possible to scan at launch..
5. please refer to my question about the "clients". thank you.

1. I´ll check that the version I uploaded is the same I am using in my pocketpc (a popup menu shows up with an option to "Connect"). Anyway the functionality is not yet operative, so it will make no difference...
2. I think it´s a good idea.
3.
4. I guess you mean scan using the first adapter found. This is a feature I wanted to include but I have a little issue with that and the status bar not showing when I launch the scan inmediately after start.
5. when I said clients I was referring to Ad-Hoc networks
I´ll review these issues this weekend when I have some spare time.
thank you very much.

Hi there!
It´s been compiled for ARMV4 based devices. Which processor does your Asus have?
ASUS 636n - CPUIntel PXA272 @417MHz
Thanks for your help.
Don't you know?
Please any ideas...
Hi,
Tytn2, Opal german ROM : didnt work.

Hi there.
I know that my problem isn't a clear HTC problem, but it is advanced problem with WM. And I think that solving this may also help to solce problem with some HTC devices.
Let's go:
I have a Motorola/Symbol MC35 WM 5.0 EDA (industrial PDA) with GSM, GPS etc. It's surely equipped with WiFi, but it's some "custom" or "budget" version that on company had bought. And WiFi doesn't work. It doesn't appear as one of possible adapters in Connnection Manager. In System Properties MAC address doesn't look like 00:12:ab:34:cd:56 but there is "WiFi disable" in MAC Address field.
There is no $-free way to change ROM, and WM6 rom (cost about 80$) for this non-wifi version of MC35 is also non-wifi(to be precise: wifi disabled).
So my questions are:
1. Is there any way to determine what wifi chip does exist in the machine? Some tool that works like "lspci" in Linux?
2. If i knew the chip number/type - is there any way to enable/install drivers for WiFi without flashing a new ROM?
3 Or maybe my problem requires only simple registry editing?
I'm not Windows (desktop/mobile) specialist but any small tip may help me to "know what to learn" to solve my problem.
Of cours I could sell my MC35 and get some HTC, but I need some rugged PDA with fixed QWERTY, transflective TFF, GPS and WiFi. So firstly I'm trying to enable wifi in my current machine.
Edit:-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've done some quick search in registry. There are maaany drivers described in there, even ethernet and USB-host drivers. So maybe it's possible to enable them?
Thanks in advance.
Igor
I used to have an mc35. some of them physically dont have a wifi chip; mine didnt. I have you tried reflashing the rom?
Sorry for late reply, haven't an internet access.
I don't know about any other possibility of flashing ROM in MC35 than buying a new WM6.0 from manufacturer. How can I flash my device?
I used to have Nec MP 900 and HTC Hermes, and there were some dedicated programs to reflash using USB cable. But I don't know how to run a bootloader and where can I get WM for MC35.
Did you flash your MC35?
