I was using my phone on my wifi connection earlier today, and I noticed in the Networks dialog there's a bunch of wifi connections already there (but I've not used the phone in town, and I've never even seen some of these wifi hotspot names before), so that got me thinking...

... Does the fact that I'm subscribed to Web 'n Walk as part of my tariff mean that I also have free access to any of the hotspots predefined in the list on my wifi networks screen?

Here's the full list:

Anybody have the faintest clue as to why these are already in my wifi networks list?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mackaby007:
Yeah, I've got an idea. It's 2nd hand or ex-display. considering no-one else has reported having these hot-spots pre-configured on their Vario2s, it seems logical or at least likely that the device has been used before.

i.e. returned under the 14 day guarantee that if not satisfied with the product, they'll take it back and squash the contract. look under 'device information' and then call duration. If the call duration exceeds your actual usage, then that prooves it. If however it matches your call usage (see you call history), then maybe just maybe, T-Mobile have introduced this to their extended ROM in newer devices, but I doubt it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christopherwoods:
All calls: 27min, 30sec.

This about tallies with the amount of calls I've made (mainly to customer services to get stuff like HSDPA set up) and a query about my account, plus a call to my Dad and a couple of mates...

I did notice during the customisation process that there was a cab containing 'June 2006' in its filename... Here's my ROM and hw stats:

ROM: 1.21.110.3

ROM date: 06/19/06

Radio: 1.05.05.00

Protocol ver: 32.36.7010.04H

My boot screen shows (in red)

M05

S04

B06

D1.21

at the lower left of the screen, and then my Radio and ROM versions show up fleetingly before the device shows the Windows Mobile splash screen. The device also had its protective screen cover on, which I had to peel off - and didn't look like the screen had been touched or used. Of course, they could clean it...

... I don't think this was a refurb though. Course, I could be wrong. I suppose I'll have to go find a wifi hotspot, or maybe ring up T-Mobile cust. services and ask :/
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Nicky:
My Vario II also has lots of preconfigured wifi networks on it.

When I received the phone I did check the calls in/out and they were both 0 mins and the phone was immaculate (no scratches, fingerprints etc..) so I would be surprised if it was a return.

I have no idea if these wifi settings relate to free hotspots though or whether you would still have to buy a wifi key if you happened to be in range of one of them. I will give it a go next time I am in a larger town, where I live I don't think there are any public wifi hotspots.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christopherwoods:
I'm in Brum, so I'll go check it out (there's a T-Mobile hotspot in the bar just outside my uni building, which is actually a student bar too, so I'll have just go and have a couple of pints and investimagate :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] squiggs1982:
yeah, mine had all those preconfigured too. think it's standard.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mackaby007:
Wow. Very interesting indeed. I'm glad to be wrong. I wonder what else you and the other guys have in your extended ROMs as this does indeed seem to be a part of Your ROM. Please let us know how you got on with the Hotspots investigation and beers.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] magicalex:
My Vario2 came pre-loaded with eleventy million different wi-fi profiles and wondered about free hot-spot access myself but when I tried to access the hot spot at my local Starbucks it still asked me for a log on I'd & password - I tried the log on I have for My T-Mobile but it came back as invalid. My guess is you have to subscribe to hot spot access seperately.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christopherwoods:
I just noticed in my Programs list I have an Interactive menu (with the T Mobile logo superimposed over a picture of a SIM card)... Clicking it goes into an app called 'STK Service', which gives me an interactive menu.

I have the usual, Fun, Info, Music, Chat, Sports, Games, Text plus, Groups, Voicemail, t-zones (oh aye?) and Prepay topup...

So I click on t-zones, it shows a white screen with the text 't-zones' on it, and the soft keys turn into Yes and No. I click Yes, and it opens IE with a weird URL (all boxes, so in a character set I can't discern), then WM5 shows a dialog box with "Cannot connect with current connection settings. TO change your connection settings, tap Settings."

The plot thickens...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] athiqueahmed:
I have all of those access points as well. And mine is a brand new Vario II.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christopherwoods:
I emailed T-Mobile a while back asking this, and the other week I got a response:

Just a bit of preferential configuration on their part ;) Only takes a minute to remove though, so it's ok.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] g00nerz:
I have the exact same pre-configured Wifi profiles on mine. I just deleted them.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] DrDubya:
me2 :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christopherwoods:
Yeah, I got a response a while back from T-Mobile - they are purely 'to help you connect to one of our hotspots more easily' for want of a better way of putting it.

I did a more custom install this time round when I got my replacement Hermes, and didn't install the CAB which sets up the access point SSIDs in the Wifi Network profiles... They now don't appear.

The TM rep confirmed that I didn't have access to the networks, they were just there as, effectively, shortcuts.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mobilecat:
Not true

Mine was brand new and sealed and came like this. There is another thread about it somewhere as I remember seeing it - it definately doesn;t mean it isn't new.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bobbyelliott:
Totally brand-new Vario - and these (useful) profiles were included.

If you use BT's Total Broadband package (as I do) then you will have 500 free OpenZone minutes to use every month (something they do not advertise very much).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] toucam:
No, it's so not true. I broke the security seal on the package. There was not a single finger mark or anything, you don't need to be a genius to tell if a phone is ex-display or 2nd hand.
[Zooper Widget General] RebelwithoutaClue:
Since I am on LTE, those variables stopped working. NCSIG gives an errror code (99) and NCSIGN always 85. Aren't those variables valid for LTE? Or do I need to use other variables? I'm using those values as a progress bar indicating my signal strength.

Never mind... already are multiple threads about this, please delete this one (since I have no clue how to do that)

Dear all,

a few days ago I started using Cyanogenmod 10

In Settings lockscreen is enabled with cLock-Widget, till now I tried normal unlock (move only), pattern, PIN and Password but in 90% of all cases, if I switch of my Xperia with Power, it is NOT locked. Pressing Power again, after a few seconds, minutes or just hours still show homescreen order latest app which was open. Same if I do not use Power but waiting for automatic Lockscreen.

Do anyone has the same problem or just know how to fix that?

Hi, I'm using Z1 C6903, now the home and recent apps button on my phone is not working, I pressed but nothing happen, same with the lockscreen, even I set to PIN lock, after I unlock the screen, there is no PIN lockscreen, so my phone cannot be locked. I clear dalvik cache and wipe cache partition in recovery, but the problem did not disappear. How to fix this? Even in safe mode the button is not working too. :confused:

I found my xt1058 will automatically power up when plugged to my laptop. but when plugged to the charger, it will not. Is that normal?
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Yes it is. Others have asked the same question and got the same answer.

I see the same on my X. When off and plugged into wall charger, it stays off. When off and I plug it into PC's USB port it turns on.
[Moto X Q&A] yghrv:
dont like the auto power up behavier. any idea how to disable it?
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
No. that is not something I've looked into as I rarely plug my phone into the PC.

With usb 2.0 having a max output of 550mA @ 5V, *IF* the X can charge this way, it would be really really slow. So the only time I connect my X to my PC is when I'm using mfastboot, or adding new music onto my phone.

I use 1A and 1.5A wall chargers for power.

Dear all,

I'm just trying to find a nice theme for my Tytn. Up to know I prefer the Windows Defeault (the blue one) instead of the Htc_default. Just one thing, is there a way to match the phone application with the Windows Default theme colours. I mean, when you press the talk button and lanch the phone app (the one with the phone keyboard or the call list) it is always in green (wallpaper, buttones, etc). Is there a way or a software to modify it and make it in blue?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chippyuk:
Hi,

I guess you could edit all the buttons and change the backgrund to make it lighter in colour but it is a lot of work!

One thing I did notice and have tried to overcome it by editing .dll files with no success is that the Video buttons do not have transparent corners so if you change the background the corners are visible. However once you decide on your background you can then edit the VT buttons and colour the corneres to match.

Google "WinCE Cab Manager", download it (if you dont have it already), you can then edit the Cab file.

Please share any changes you may make.

Cheers.

Its all depends on the tolerances of your chipset. What works for one will not works for others.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
I've never been able to install doomlords custom kernel without having random reboots at some point, I don't believe its to do with the CPU speed as pimps one was just fine. Simply as it comes after a flash, changing nothing I get reboots. Flashing the advanced stock kernel allows me to use my phone without the worry of it rebooting at a time that I need it, I don't feel that I'm missing out on anything either. Not a solution for the custom kernel per say but certainly one for the stability of your device from my perspective. Changing the settings within safe limits and stressing the CPU will allow you to find your CPU/chipsets thresholds. Keep a copy of the advanced stock kernel on your internal memory invade your phone won't boot.

STEPS:-

1. Go to No Frills Cpu Control or Cpu Settings(on most ROM's settings)

2. Select:

-Ondemand (Extreme Battery life)

-Powersaver/Conservative (Ultra Extreme battery, but laggy)

3. Tick Apply on boot and choose Apply!
