Thanks, looks great so far as I can see right now on my Kaiser! I'll look better at them once I reach home. I'm already en route but with both trains and busses 'dropping connection' today this may be any time between now and summer 2008 ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
This would indeed be great functionality and I would seriously consider building this in. There are some technical limitations to this though, and these are closely related to the big Acess Point question. It seems I will be unable to do either of the two until I get my hands on some Microsoft packages that are only meant for actual device builders (like HTC). I have asked a contact inside MS for this but it's unlikely he can deliver. I still have one other trick up my sleeve though, but it may be months, if ever, before these functionalities will be done.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pasukin:
Chainfire,

Any chance you could take a look at this post? It would be appreciated...

I'm sorry to say I have no idea what is going on there :(

EDIT: Are you sure you have ICS installed?

(still that wouldnt crash the phone... just the app)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
It's good. Finally got a minute to look at it, I was busy writing ROM patches to enable GPS and WiFi on the Touch Dual (*crosses fingers*). I still have to figure the precise end-relutions and such and how exactly I'm going to animate but if I need more I know where to find you :)

Thanks!

Very close to connecting..need a little help

I have Chainfires WMWifiRouter v0.76 and seems to work fine.. I have Sprint

netword with the Mogul WM6.. his program seems to run and connect fine.. my Laptop it in Adhoc and waiting for a user to connect... this is where I get stuck.. not sure what to do or how to actually connect my Phome to that laptop.. could I please get some guidance.. I think that I'm real close. but just missing a step or 2.. thanks

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
I think you are doing it the wrong way around. The phone must have ad-hoc available and the laptop must connect to the phone. I just create ad-hoc network on both laptop and PC and it magically works. I know for sure it's my PC connecting to my phone though, not the other way round.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] borealcool:
Look here for animation controls or here for a .NET implementation. :)

​
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
LOL, I know how to animate pictures, I was still considering which ones I was going to animate, that is what I meant. I want to use the full black one for when nothing is happening, and the full green for connected. And animated for when connecting. But if I do what you just posted, it confuses as it also has full green.

I'm considering two different schemes:

- what you made, but with a black dot

- green dot, lowest bar green. then green dot, middle bar green. then green dot, top bar green (repeat)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] borealcool:
Ok, I understand. Your animation is during an attempt at connecting and not while there is a connection. In that case your last method is appropriate:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Yup that's exactly what I mean!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dustinyang:
3ks for replay. My mobile is HTC Universal. When i use "internet sharing" connecting internet with usb, I tried to change the "Public Interface" value to "TIACXWLN1", but it doesn't work. WMWifiRouter can hacking the "Private Interface", maybe it can hacking "Public Interface" both. Then WMWifiRouter will give us more choice. it can be more powerfull, cann't it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dagurasu:
A charger device should be able to provide enough current, but just because it CAN provide more (the site says it "supports" 1A) doesn't mean the device being charged is capable of pulling more. It's actually a bit more complicated as voltage drops are considered but basically, even if this doesn't work out, it doesn't mean the site is unreputable. Still, I'm anxious to hear if it works. I need to buy a couple of chargers.

Anyway, I'm loving the unattended mode.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
It has not been tried yet, but it is entirely possible that this will work... (it also may not) It will require some testing though (and believe it or not, this has been on my to-do list for a while now), and I'm not really sure I have enough devices to do this.

Just for the record, I'm quite sure my TyTN II can pull the 1A and so could my old Wizard. Charges significantly faster than with the old 0.5A charger, IME.

Hurrah!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Krayziepop:
Okay, about the chargers... I did some looking and when I finally made it home for the weekend I pulled out the chargers I had for my PPC-6700 (because I appear to have lost the one that came with my Mogul) and it turns out those wall chargers do provide one full amp of output current already. The car charger I had been using only puts out 500 milliamps and was not enough to keep the phone charged while using WiFi. So I tried it with the old charger, and it turns out it works just fine! So this whole thing was kind of an oversight on my behalf. However, even with the higher amp wall charger the screen still has to be off in order to gain charge.

So anyway I now have one of those one amp car chargers on its way to my house, and I should have it by next weekend. In the meantime since I do have a power inverter in my semi-truck, I simply brought the wall charger with me and it's working fine. :D

Anywho, I had some issues with the program again today... for whatever reason it seems that when the device is plugged in prior to making a connection, I get page not found errors after turning the device to stand by. However if I initiate the connection to the application first, then plug it in I have no issues turning the screen off... I can't explain why this is, but it's a condition I can re-create. Just thought I would throw that out there in case someone else is having an issue. :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
See, I knew I used a 1A charger :D

Thats odd, I'm going to have to try that out.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
So, can you adjust the files for me so I have these versions of the icons?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] borealcool:
I'm not sure what you mean by that. You should have everything you need in the Raster folders. For example the animation below was created using icons 5-4-3-2-1 as they were provided to you:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Yes I have those, you use in your latest post, but I do not have those you use in the quote a post above that, eg:

- green dot, low bar green, others black

- green dot, middle bar green, others black

- green dot, top bar green, others black

These are missing :) For this animation:

WMWIFIROUTER working great except for a major issue cannot accept calls on data idle

I tried your software version .76. Its working absolutely flawless,

except for a major problem. Everytime after I am done using this

program and disconnect, I am not able to accept calls while the data

connection is at "idle". The popup will come up alerting me that there

is a call but when I click "accept" it won't work. the pop will never

go away until I press "ignore." Calls I get while there is no data

connection works fine. Also all outbound calls work fine too.

The first time I found this I hadnt backed up my registry,so I had to

hard reset it. The second time I backed up my registry and used

wmwifirouter, after disconnection i had the same problem and I just

restored my backed up registry and every thing is fine.

My phone is Sprint Mogul (PPC 6800/ HTC TyTN) and have WM 6.

Sincerely
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
I will try to get you a test version ASAP, which will hopefully fix this issue.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dagurasu:
I'll be glad to test the symptoms to verify the problem exists but it sounds like Chainfire is already onto it. I would need more detail to test though. Like how persistent is the problem, reminding of what the "idle" symbol looks like and basically a step by step to reproduce. This sounds like a problem I don't want so I'll be glad to test.

WMWifiRouter for multiple devices

Thanks Chainfire, great app that gets better and better.

Just thought I would list my current experience in case it is useful to anyone ...

Do most folks use this with the ad-hoc network as described? (I stopped reading all the forum pages when I got something that worked for me).

(for me as a mac owner the options were Bluetooth or wifi and not USB)

It may be me, but I couldn't apply the security settings I would have liked to the ad-hoc network but also wanted more devices to have ready access to the same connection.

I do this instead (apologies if I get some of the terminology wrong ... hopefully you know what I mean)

(Apple Airport Express) Router configured with IP address of 192.168.0.2 and as a DHCP server on wifi.

Network name is hidden and has WPA2 PSK/AES security, and in addition network is limited to certain mac codes (therefore devices).

(The router is actually configured as if the internet is on the Ethernet port but clients are configured to access another device on the same network)

Phone is configured as 192.168.0.1 by WMwifirouter.

Each extra client can have a fixed IP address or be assigned one by DHCP

** Each client has the router configured as 192.168.0.1 **

** Each client has the DNS server configured as 192.168.0.1 ** (I don't quite understand how this is correct but it does make it work!)

I have a PC connected via Ethernet on the Airport Express and various wifi clients, any or all of 2 Apple Laptops and a further WM phone at the moment.

Presumably this would be easy to do with any wifi router.

It works so well I've let my 2Mbit wired internet lapse and rely on my T-mobile (UK) web-n-walk 3G/month package ... we'll see how it goes.

Indicated speeds vary a lot from a few kbps to over 2Mbps so I guess these are "spot" measurements, but for large downloads, speeds so far seem to be around the 1.2Mbps mark.

I don't notice big differences between this and the previous 2Mbps wired link.

Some great things about the Airport Express (while the subject's come up)

It's compact (portable) and takes adapters for all countries (though expensive).

**It has a powered USB socket which can keep the phone charged**

As an additional note re: power which has come up in recent posts. My phone is an Ameo/Advantage and with a standard USB lead to charge the phone it stays roughly at the same level of charge (i.e. power requirement is approximately what the charge lead supplies, so presumably 0.5A or 2.5W). The HTC charger can provide 1A or 5W and signals to the phone that this is available by tieing one of the USB signal lines (can't remember which off-hand) to the 5th line on the mini USB connector.

Cheers, hope this is useful, Mark
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Well that is very inventive of you, and indeed that setup should be possible to achieve for many people. Once I get the WMWifiRouter website up I might even add it to 'interesting stuff you may wish to do' :)

As for your DNS question, this is normal behaviour for a router/gateway/proxy, you set the DNS address to it, and the device will contact the actual DNS server for you :)

xv6800 ICS

Anybody working on getting the ICS piece to work on Verizon's xv6800? I have installed the ICS files and made the registry entries; however in ICS when I hit Connect, it immediately comes back and says "Cannot connect for an unknown reason."

I am willing to test and give feedback!:D

Bluetooth PAN

after using this program, I am unable to successfully create and connect to the BLUETOOTH PAN using my MAC or PC. Any ideas? Could the registry entries have been corrupted with the wrong values?

Any input would be appreciated.

T!H!A!N!K!S!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] yeahright02:
Greatly Appreciated!

Thanks! This would break the limitation of hosting servers through a Wi-Fi connection. I would anticipate this feature and celebrate it's addition because it would utterly substitute for an actual router/modem. Not that it doesn't already, but it would make most, if not all, of the features to come of greater importance. I wish I could be involved in this project, but I lack the skill of programming. Again, thank you for your work and consideration of my suggestion.

am i the only one having problems

for some reason my connection wont even stay on for more than 2 minutes. Its constantly disconnection but the status on the phone will still say connected. I can reconnect with no problem but only to get disconnected in another minute or two. I tried to 10 min fix that was posted but to no luck.. any ideas
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Which connection drops? WiFi or Data? Device? WM version?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] roro09:
my wifi connection drops im using Hermes with WM 6.0 official ATT ROM

Worked great on an HTC Touch. Although I only had it connected for a minute or two. Will try longer later.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
v0.81 zZzZz

Just a small update

changelog

- Modified the way the images are embedded in the exe... compiler went crazy

- Tweaked timings again

- Added WLAN timeout, if the WLAN doesn't respond to WMWifiRouter it should no longer crash your phone, but give you an error instead :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Been running for 30 minutes now without a problem... IIRC there are other Hermes users using it without problems, right?

Are you sure your laptop/pc is not trying to connect to a 'better network' and drops the connection because of that? (Actually, your mobile could be doing that as well...)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] roro09:
sound like it could be doing that but i dont know why cause i have a full signal.. is there a way to stop it ?? there are the steps i took let me know if i missed anything ::

Went to WIFI and opened network adapters

set my 802.11 to specific ip at 192.168.0.1 and sub at 255.255.255.0

then created adhoc.. i check box accordingly to set as ad-hoc network with encrptyion disabled and authentication

clicked connect

opened up WMWifirouter and click connect..

i get a connection for 1 or 2 min then the computer switches to another

It works on HTC Universal, but GPRS traffic stops!

Hi, Chainfire

Thanks a lot. Your application is really great. Congratulations! I have installed it on my Exec (HTC Universal), and it was able to provide wireless connection to both a desktop and a laptop of mine at the same time, and with WEP encryption! It is really a router+modem feature. Just amazing!

One thing I have noticed, though, which most probably might not be cause by your application, is that, after some dozen minutes, GPRS traffic (unfortunetely, I don't have UMTS coverage in my area, yet) simply stops, although the little G on the title bar keeps stating it is connected.

So, if I may, I'd like to make a little suggestion for some future release of yours: I'm not quite sure how you could detect such a situation, say, perhaps you were able to implement a timed subroutine which could do something like a ping to some predefined URL, e.g. www.google.com. If it got no response from the DNS server, then, it should disconnect GPRS I (or, more generally, the currently stablshed radio connection). Your application has the autoconnection feature already implemented, in a way that it would surely try to reconnect it right afterwards, and everything would keep working at they should...

Thanks anyway.

Cheers!

Carlos
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Try the following in windows (pc): go to your wireless network card properties and switch through the tabs a bit. You should find something like 'preferred networks' there. Make sure your Ad-Hoc connection from your mobile is listed there, if it isn't, add it manually. Then make sure it is the top most in the list. Also make sure it is set to 'automatic' connect instead of manual. That should stop the network switching.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Indeed that is something I want to ultimately put in there. However, you must understand this is really hard to accomplish if I cannot reproduce the problem! I will try though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] casouzaj:
Thanks for your prompt response and for taking my idea in consideration.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dagurasu:
So is the entire registry saved and restored in v 0.8? Isn't this dangerous if other reg changes are made while connected?... or do you just back up the things which you change?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
No, not the entire registry is backed up and restored, only the portion I make changes to. I already did that here and there, but it was structurally error prone and badly done - so I rewrote that entire part to be more automatic and safe.

The following key structures are backed up and restored:

Backup.AddKey('HKLM\Comm\' + WLANID + '\Parms\TCPIP');
Backup.AddKey('HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Suspend\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}');
Backup.AddKey('HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Resuming\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}');
Backup.AddKey('HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Unattended\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}');
Backup.AddKey('HKCU\Software\Microsoft\InternetSharing');
Backup.AddKey('HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing');
Backup.AddKey('HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing');
Backup.AddKey('HKLM\Software\OEM\WModem');

i know it may sound picky......it would be nice if the icon picture had a transparent background, would look better on my today screen.

Great App Chainfire
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] b1iZZaRd:
Hey great app man keep up the good work...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] borealcool:
Chainfire, I think the quote above is in reference to the ICO file. I don't know what colour depth and bpp WinCE ico's support, but if you let me know I'll make one with alpha transparency.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
It is in reference to the ICO, but Windows Mobile is COMPLETELY bonkers. First I had the icon with full transparency and alpha, WM made everything partially transparent black. then I just took a completely white background, and WM made everything that was white black, it is now white background except the bottom and top row of the icon, which is completely transparent. This seems to KINDOF work.

I think what needs to be done is make the image so that everything from the actual icon that is not fully transparent or not transparent at all is blended to a white background, so the end result only has pixels that are either transparent or not.

Then put those in an ICO with 16x16, 32x32 and 64x64, all 32 bit

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] town229:
I got it conected and test it great but I cant get security feature on it. And when it conect it keep getting "phone as modem" conecting keep me worries that I"ll be charge for it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
IIRC, and this is hearsay, you can only connect PSP ad-hoc to OTHER PSP with the normal firmwares. You require a hacked firmware to connect to other ad-hoc devices.

All I can say from my 10 minute experience of playing with it, is that I could not get my collegue's PSP connected to my Kaiser.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Can't really help you with the security, that is different between any two devices to set up, and in my personal experience it's always a ***** :)

However, if it says "phone as modem" then the phone is obviously aware you are tethering, you will have to consult your data plan to know if you will get charged extra for that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stpete111:
Chainfire, 0.80 is the first version I've actually had problems with. After about 5 minutes, the connection is dropped between the pc and the phone. I have the power settings on my phone such that it does not go into standby.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Strange, I have not changed anything related to those things. I will investigate.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] town229:
Wow thanks for the the program, and really quick reply. Well I found out that security is either 5 or 13 ASCII and its work for me.

Humm I really can't tell since all my connection dial the same number only different names, and Multi-NAI is 0 in the reg. I guess just wait next month to find out my first time tethering tho.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stpete111:
It would probably help you if I also told you that the last version I used extensively before .80 was probably .73... so it's not necessarily something that has changed since the .79 causing the problem.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Chainfire:
Hmm please test this for me:

connect PC and mobile through wifi, Start -> Run -> "cmd" -> "ping 192.168.0.1 -t"

Does the connection still drop if you keep that running? Also, what is your signal strength?
