uninstallation problem of WMWifirouter from Sprint Mogul

Hi Chainfire,

Unfortunately, I did not know about the existence of the commercial versions when I found across the trial version of WMWifirouter in the freewarepocketpc site. I visit this site frequently for new freeware softwares for wm6.1. I recommend that the free version be removed from there or at least a warning should be given about the inability to uninstall the trial versions should something go wrong, or a notice should be given about the availability of a good working commercial version.

I liked the concept of WMWifirouter, but version 0.89 was not working well on my unit. So I stared searching the web for answers, and then I found out about the availability of the commercial version.

Once I found out about the existence of the commercial version, I wanted to buy it, but the instructions on the website say to remove the previous trial versions before installing the commercial versions. So I cannot buy and use the commercial version until the trial version is removed from my device. Doing a hard reset is too cumbersome for getting the commercial wmwifirouter to work properly.

Is there any registry key(s) or program file(s) that I can delete using PHM RegEdit, so that I can do a clean uninstall of the trial version 0.89 from my Sprint Mogul (HTC TyTnII PPC6800) running on wm6.1?

I think a lot of other people that visit freeware sites may get trapped the same way that I did, so a solution for removing the trial version may benefit the commercial version in that customers will be able to uninstall the problematic trial version and pay for and install the commercial version.

Thanks for your reply, and I appreciate any other suggestions about this problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I fully agree with what you say - however the issue is that no matter how many messages we send the people behind those sites (and believe me, there were quite a bunch), they never add that notice or remove the software. Doing a DMCA takedown seems a bit overkill :)

I'll take another look at this for you, but I hope you can understand this is also frustrating for us.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I cooked something up that may help... Attached is a zip file containing an exe... run this exe on your device, may work.

Use only on WMWifiRouter 0.91 and older!

HTC Touch pro

I returned my samsung instinct to get the HTC Touch pro just so I could run this program and I have not been able to get it to work. I have the trial version installed and will buy the full one if I can get this to work.

I have 2 laptops, one ubuntu and one xp. Both can see the htc once I start the program, but neither can get a ipaddress They both time out.

Settings on HTC

managed -> Dynamic

Connection Mode -> Ad-hoc

network-> test_htc

Encription-> none

One thing I see under the main screen the wifi network keeps changing

test_htc test_htc0 test_htc@

I did a reset all settings

Turned on wifi

Run WMWIFI

cellular connection selected -> sprint I tried phone as modem with same result

managed -> Dynamic

Connection Mode -> Ad-hoc

network-> WMWifiRouter

Encription-> none

Wifi power control -> full power

Start cellular to Wifi

Cellular sprint connected

Wifi network:WMWifiRouter

Any thoughts on what to chnage?

I heard people here can get it to work but wen I follow the directions i get nothing.

Anyone here have any tips?

RE: uninstallation problem of trial version of WMWifirouter from Sprint Mogul

Thank you Chainfire.

Your program was able to delete the necessary registry keys to get rid of the trial version from appearing in the list of programs in the Remove Programs menu. I then manually deleted the program folder for the trial version 0.89 of WMWifiRouter from the programs folder. And the result was the deletion of the trial version from my Sprint Mogul PPC6800 (running on wm6.1) to whatever extent that the registry was cleaned up by your clean up program. I have been able to load the commercial version 1.25 on my device and its working fine.

As a side not for those that are asking for a reason to buy the commercial version, I was amazed to see that the commercial version has a lot more streamlining and features such as allowing 3G to bluetooth connection just like the native microsoft Internet Sharing program that was available in wm6 but was disabled in wm6.1 upgrade. Best of all, unlike the trial version, the WiFi connection can be made secured via WEP.

I only wish that my Mogul's hardware (i.e., the battery place) could be rewired so that I could plug in the device to an outside source and be able to turn on my phone without the battery. This way I could use the device as an ad-hoc for as long as I need to without damaging or overheating the battery.

Does anyone have any idea whether a fake battery that just has the same physical dimensions, resistance, output voltage, and amperage as the original battery can be made or obtained and used to keep the device on on external power without having the original battery in? This inability to keep the device on external power without the battery in its place is common to all HTC devices. If a solution is found, it would allow us to not only utilize WMWifirouter better but also to use it for as a navigation device for long trips. When I go on long trips and want to have the Sprint navigation system on the whole time, the battery either runs out or overheats from being charged by the car charges. Subsequently the device turns off. How annoying! Hope someone can help. Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
First, which version are you using? Sprint Touch Pro requires 1.25 if I'm not mistaken, with an additional small fix for it in 1.30, which should be released some time next week.

Second, try adjusting your wifi power mode to "best performance". You can do this under Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Wireless LAN -> Power Mode.

Third, I see you try switching between Sprint and PAM. Use Sprint if you don't have a tethering plan, PAM if you do. (Note that you should have a tethering plan, or you may be violating Sprint's TOS)

The rest of your settings seem to be correct. Sprint Touch Pro has been tested by one of our beta testers and was reported to work out-of-the-box by said beta tester.

Note that Ubuntu still has some trouble with connecting to the ad-hoc network, but if you know a lot about linux and wifi you will be able to figure it out. While testing to see if you can get it to work, I advise you do that on the XP box. Also, try the 3G -> USB mode to see if that works (this helps figure out where the problem may be)

We have recently gotten a bunch of Samsung devices to work with and improve compatibility on, and it's getting a lot better with 1.30. However, an i760 is not among these devices. Please make sure of the following settings, if available on your device:

- Start -> Settings -> System -> Power -> Wifi -> make sure the checkbox is NOT checked

- Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Wifi -> Menu -> Advanced -> make sure the automatic disconnect is turned off

Make sure your battery level is >50%. Make sure you are not using WEP, at least for the initial "getting it to work" phase. If you keep getting a 169 IP and you are using Windows XP, try this trick: Immediately when XP is 'done' with connecting and gets a 169 IP, right-click on your wireless network adapter (in "Network Connections" and choose "Repair" from the menu.

I hope any of these may solve it, if not, try again with 1.30 when it comes out next week.

The cleanup may have left a few registy entries and a few small files in \Windows, this is just an initial test to see if it worked. If so, this totals only a few KB though and is hardly relevant. Some day an improved version will be made that does it perfectly, but I'd rather keep you waiting until that was done. Getting it removed from the installed programs database proved quite a boon by itself - none of that stuff is documented by MS.

As for the commercial version, well we do try to make it so it's actually worth the money :)

I am not aware of any solution to the battery thing. It would indeed be nice if you could run the device directly from external power, but I've never heard of anything allowing this. I think it is possible on the old HTC Wizard though (not completely sure). What exactly the logic is behind this eludes me for now, but the wiring indeed seems to run "through" the battery. I.e., on external power the battery is charged by the AC line while power is drawn from the battery to run the device. Would be a nice feat if someone got around that, but again, as far as I know it's not currently possible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SageMajor:
Wow, as a programmer, I can't believe I did not give you the version number. I am using build 600. I spent the first 3 hours working with the software in the best performance mode, until I read through the help and it suggested the full power mode. I will normally use it with sprint rather than pam, I just put it here to show that I had already tried that mode as part of my debugging process.

Is it possible to have the mobile phone to share another wifi network? Like a repeater.

WiFi network #1 -> Mobile phone with WMWifiRouter -> WiFi network #2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Must say I'm not sure exactly what is going on. Try 1.30 once released next week, if the problem still exists, go to Options -> Tools -> Save support info, and send to resulting file to support @ wmwifirouter.com. (This option is not available yet in the version you are using)

This is currently not possible, no.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chong67:
question

Question:

1. I plug my phone in the juice and it is draining when I turn this software on. Is this normal?

2. What does 1.30 include?

3. I am a paid customer for 1.25 and do I have to pay for this upgrade?

Thanks.

I can't seem to get the port forwarding to work. I'm trying to forward the port 80 to my computer but whenever I tried using another network to access my computer, it always timed out like the port forwarding doesn't work.

What am I not doing correct? I set both local port and destination port to 80 and the destination IP to my web server. Restarted the connection ... even the application but it doesn't work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ronyoung08:
i have a question....

is there a way to use wmwifirouter like a wireless adapter?

**use it to connect my neighbors wifi connection and use it on my pc?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
1) If you are using both 3G and wifi at the same time it's quite possible it uses more juice than you can charge. It also generates a lot of heat, which may prevent the battery from charging at all. Be sure to turn off the screen by pressing the power button when you start routing, this saves 50% power.

2) A lot of bug-fixes, compatibility-fixes, DHCP status is back, new battery status, etc. The (internal) changelog is a few pages log.

3) This is a free upgrade for everybody

Beware that your provider may be blocking port 80 incoming! Try setting the port to 8888, see if you can get it to work that way. (Yes, you do need to restart the connection). You should also note that for some providers port forwarding cannot work at all. When routing, check the IP address of your cellular connection (under statistics view) and post the first two numbers here, I can tell from those if it's even possible or not.

Yes, use the Wifi -> USB mode.

Hi guys, new member here.

I'm having a lot of troubles configuring my HTC Diamond with WMWifiRouter. My objective is to use it as a hot spot for my ipod touch and I currently have the 1.25 version. It's installed into my phone now and the program is fine, it does what it's supposed to do. But my issue comes in when I use my ipod. It recognizes my phone, and I get it to connect. But when I try to surf the net, use facebook, or youtube it doesn't work (as if I didn't have a connection).

It's really strange because I went into my wifi settings and changed it from "open" to "share", set up a WEP key, etc. I've been searching around for hours now, also tried many different methods but none of them worked. I may be asking a repetitive question and if so, I apologize. I've also read parts of this topic, but this thread is far too big to find the proper answer I need.

But I really can't figure out what to do, so if you guys could help me, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

(On the side not, I also used the latest free edition of WMWiFiRouter too, but I got a FATEL ERROR message and didn't know how to fix it!)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I'm just assuming here that you are missing ICS, which I can't know without more info.

In the second post of the thread is a link to the ICS Installer cab, install that on your device, soft-reset, and try again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 2Rude:
Thanks a bunch, it works now. But it drained the mess out of my battery.

I was only using it for an hour, and it my battery was down to one bar. It got really hot too. My iPod strangely did the same thing, except it wasn't hot. Is there anyway to save the battery life?

connecting a ps3 using WMWifirouter

i installed the program and got it working rather quickly and easily on my omnia.

i got an N95 which picks it up and all works.

i tried to do the same for the ps3 but it does not find the AP when scanning.

i entered the details manually but still no luck, it cannot find the AP:(

is it possible for this work with the ps3?

any help would be appreciated.

b.t.w. for the network type i tried both options and for security i tried both options as well.

edit: i came across something that says the ps3 does not support ad-hoc mode for wifi connnections, but only unfrastructure mode. it can do ad-hoc mode, but only to connect a psp for remote play.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Try turning off the screen by pressing the power button, that helps a bunch.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 2Rude:
It's always off for the most part. but even so, my HTC Diamond still gets hot and stays hot while the wifi is on. I'd like to find a new way to reduce the battery usage if possible! :)

Not sure if it's the same for you guys though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wabby:
My iPAQ 612c gets hot as well (Wifi/3G) even to the point where I had to put the phone in the bar fridge just to keep it charged.

Doesn't help it has been a record heatwave with 3 days of 43c or higher :eek:

What I've done to help heat issues:

Turn down the radio power on the phone, Options - Tools - Wifi - Power control

Turn off the screen

USB Fan blowing over the battery with the battery plate removed.

I wouldn't mind finding where the Radio Channel is set. The application seems to pick the most busiest channel in my area, Channel 6.

Also the throughput copying files via the a network share is only 5% of 54Mbps, I thought it would be closer to 11Mbps, Adhoc standard unless you can get the radios to lock higher via the drivers.

Chainfire - any update on the availability of 1.30, I was planning to do a hard reset of my Sprint Touch Pro this weekend but now I am waiting until your update is released so that I can include it when making a full backup of my setup after installing all my programs, thanks in advance for any update info!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
We had hoped to release it last week, but there's still some things that need added testing. So I guess somewhere this week.

I always have to set the WPA password back of my favorite WiFi connection after using your programm is this normal? My Xperia doesn´t recognize my normal router, I always have to set up my router connection again. I´m using your latest trial version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
No that is not normal... which device and carrier are you using?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] YYYYY:
I´m using a SE Xperia X1 und I use the stock Rom (1.03.938.9, Radio 1.06.25.29). The build is 19608.1.2.60 and my carrier is O² Germany.

edit: This is waht the device is telling me: "Cannot connect to the network. Ckeck your network and service provider settings and try again."
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GrandMstrBud:
I must say this is a great program. I do seem to have the same issue that everyone else has and that's the draining of the battery even if I have the charger plugged in. With a full battery I can get about 3 hours out of it with it plugged in at the same time. Are there any settings that I can use to make this last longer? Other than that I really don't have any issues with the program. Now if I could find something like this for the BlackBerry then I would be set. By the way I'm running it on a Treo 800W through sprint. I have tried changing the power options from full to balanced or low and click ok and the program freezes up. I can not end it in task manager so I have to do a soft reset to get the phone back on so basically I can't do anything with that setting.

I have a Q9Napoleon, and want to run WMWifiRouter. The problem is that the ICS that is installed on the device does not have Wifi as an option. Do you know what is needed to to enable that?

TIA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
http://support.wmwifirouter.com/devices/

Nope, and it is fairly unlikely it will ever support this unless the PSP gets a firmware update that allows ad-hoc. We know it's capable because one-on-one gaming over wifi actually uses ad-hoc.

You use WMWifiRouter _instead_ of ICS. But ICS still needs to be installed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pasukin:
I had tried several versions of WMWifiRouter prior to it becoming a paid application. Each time I had the exact same problem; the device would hang while the WiFi was being configured. I went back and forth via email with the developer, but a cause/resolution was never found.

Since then I see that there have been several updates, so I thought I'd give it a shot once more. I just downloaded the latest version (v1.25) but no joy! After pressing the 3G to Wifi button, WMWifiRouter hangs at the "Rebinding" stage of the Wifi configuration.

I have an AT&T Tilt with the latest AT&T ROM installed (WM 6.1), but none of the AT&T bloatware has ever been installed. ICS is installed and works perfectly when my laptop is connected to my phone via USB. WMWifiRouter was installed with the WiFi enabled, and the power settings are set to Best Performance.

Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Still a problem without a solution. The wifi subsystem (driver) just hangs and never returns from one specific API call that is made (and is needed). According to our contacts at MS this should never ever happen, even due to driver failure, and we did put in quite some investigation as to the cause, tried different setups and configs, but never had any luck finding out what the issue is.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pasukin:
Thanks for the update.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mbellis:
Chainfire is that just a general status update to 1.30 or is that in reply to someone's question, just trying to keep up to date on the status of the next release. Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
There's a certain very popular device we are having issues with, and working with the manufacturer to solve this issue. This is the sole reason 1.30 has been delayed. We thought the fix would be rather fast, however it is proving to be the proverbial female dog to solve... We might release 1.30 before this is fixed, however, we'd rather not.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kqh4:
I have a question, I am new to window mobile and the touch hd is my first wm phone. I have tried the wmwifirouter free trial and it works fine. The problem is when I try to exit the program and return to normal it does not allow me to use my cell phone data connection or my wifi connection anymore. I cannot update weather or anything. It tells me that there is a problem with the connection but at the top of the screen it shows that both of the connections are connected just fine. Can anyone help me?

Note: I have tried ICS control also and the exact thing happens.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eva_d:
You're right, and this post is a proof that I've succeeded to connect through WMWifiRouter. Woohoo! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cyburke:
from my understanding this application allows your phones own internal connection (EDGE, EVDO, etc) to be broadcast out as a wifi signal..

i guess reading more into it now though HOW is the signal going to be broadcast out....

i'm an idiot.

:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] remofo:
I tried it again, deleted the WMWifiRouter folder, shortcut & registry key then soft reset. The update to 0.89 worked. Also 0.89 now works with the DHCP Allocator on the iPod Touch. Lightning fast & top shelf work as usual. Thanks Chainfire.
