other phones/devices can't see connection but computer can

I don't know what to do, I feel like I've tried everything. I want to be able to broadcast the wifi from my phone a t-mobile HTC Hd2 , to my other phone and my boyfriends phone (mine is a HTC Sensation his is a HTC Incredible - both running android). My laptop sees the connection and connects just fine. Neither of the phones sees the connection to be able to connect to. I don't see an option in the phone (Sensation or Incredible) to enable ad-hoc networks? My father also has a HTC Sensation and when he turns on his wi-fi as a hotspot, I can connect to it without a problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

ya.. i've problem too. it seems that android (gingerbread sony erricson mini pro) cannot "see" ad-hoc" connection. i've tested on symbian (nokia) and windows 7. it can "sees" ad-hoc" connection.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jontp2:
Hi emaline, I've just been through this with my Android tablet, your right, Android is setup not to see ad-hoc connections although it is perfectly able to connect to them. Amongst your files you will find one called wpa_supplicant. This is the file that needs changing, you'll have to research it for your device but I found a replacement suitable for my tablet "wpa_supplicant.adhoc" that allows ad-hoc networks to be seen & hence connected to as normal. Just a case of copying into the folder & renaming.

Best things is to Google it for your device.

Best of luck

Hi there guys,

WMwifirouter is now a free app as it is not continued for WM6.5. I installed 2.0 version on SE Aspen M1i and the problem is the laptop connects to the phone's network (takes long however) but internet does not work - no response from any server. Is there anything I should change from the default settings like this proxy or something (I am not using proxy on the phone so..)? the 3g internet connection works just fine on the phone itself

I've been using wifirouter on xperia X1 without a problem (built into 826x htc sense rom) - is there a cab for that app ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RonnieRuff:
Hardware issue. Take it to a TMO store

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jay2TheRescue:
No, I was one of their beta testers when they were making that version years ago. You need to setup an ad-hoc network connection.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] przemke:
Hi there

My wifirouter app on M1i is not working despite messing with different settings (the laptop just won't ping/connect to anything over the internet although on phone it works fine)

I remember different app worked fine on X1, pehaps anyone has that one (or another one to try) or know where to look for it

It would be really useful, otherwise I will have to transition with everything into new phone, which I don't like at all ! :((
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lennysh:
Whenever you post a problem for this app, please post the device name, and OS.

Ex.

Apache 6700 w/ WM6 Professional

This will help us help you...

Have you tried installing the ICS CAB I posted. It has a lot more reg entries than some of the original cabs. Not positive tho...

bandswitcher conflicts with wifirouter

Just found a conflict between Daniel's Bandswitcher and WifiRouter on a stock AT&T Tilt (no extra roms etc). When you start wifirouter with Bandswitch on or closed, wifirouter hangs on starting ICS and the Tilt freezes up forcing you to hard reset.

If you turn on WLAN and then start Wifirouter, it goes past starting ICS to the waiting for connection and then hangs causing the Tilt to freeze.

After this and a few more tests, we uninstalled Bandswitcher and Wifirouter worked on the first go!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] colin9876:
all day trying?

ok help me?

Ive been trying this for hours.

I have TytnII

EEE laptop

I have done 14 hard resets of both, different positions, Im in a good 3G signal area

Everytime Installed 0.89, it runs on the tytnII, WMWifiRouter appears in the settings list,

log gets to ...rebind success,Wlan is on,waiting for ICS... Ready

The EEE, nor my vista laptop can see the Wifi
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rongara:
ok, installed 0.89 and tried it with and without "Use DHCP Allocator", both times the same result, it stops at "WLAN is ON! Waiting for ICS..."

LOG is:

"

[...]

Rebinding WLAN

Rebind: Success

Turning on WLAN

WLAN is ON! Waiting for ICS"

Performed a softreset between both attempts, changed nothing. Tried to connect to it while that message is shown, but my notebook doesn't detect any networt except my own WLan.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gregxdoom:
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

I've got an at&t 8525 and I'm using Windows Mobile 6, and I've followed the directions, put the wi-fi on to my phone, ran it, and then it goes to connect on the phone and via my usb cable and after a minute or so, a notification pops up on my computer and says that I have little or no connectivity.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Yes, the Multi-NAI hacks are activated when WMWifiRouter starts.

Could be. I'll up a ZIP soon with just the EXE.

Nope, but I got an idea :) Will release a test EXE for you later.

This is probably because of a missing .mui file that holds translation info.

I'm really out of ideas on this one.

Will get you a test EXE later :)

Why is your phone connected to the USB? That connectivity has to do with the USB connection, btw.

Connecting Athena to Kaiser

I have a kaiser with a data plan and i want to use my athena online with it using this great app.

I have installed the app on the kaiser and set the athena to computer to computer only and manually entered the ip on the athena.

The athena connects to the kaiser just fine but i cannot use the data i.e. surf the net on the athena.

It works fine from my laptop and the ICS works perfectly via usb for the laptop too.

The kaiser is running Duttys touch V2 and the Athena is running AP dual.

Anyone got any success in pairing these two devices and being able to surf?

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] colin9876:
Success!

For some reason this time

Laptop can see it and it works

EEE can see it but doesnt fully connect - stays as pending!

Half way there!!

p.s. what does DHCP allocator mean and do?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Why did you enter the IP manually? Does it not work in DHCP mode? You entered the IP address yourself, but did you also add gateway and name server?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ClashOfThe:
Hi chainfire,

When i tried to connect automatically it just said connecting on the athena so i entered the ip/subnet mask/default gateway and dns on the athena to match the settings on the kaiser.

It then connected?

edit: just realised i've got .87 installed not .89. I'll put the newer on and see if i can sort it. Will be back in a bit.

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Well if it didn't work on DHCP it's quite possible it isn't connected to the Kaiser at all. For some reason Ad-Hoc networks on WinMo say they are connected when they are not actually connected to anything :/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ClashOfThe:
Thats a pain inth'arse.

I'm sure it will work when i have a proper look later. Got to have some food first though.

Ta
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] colin9876:
just worked

Chainfire, no didnt enter anything manually it just worked with ur install from another hard reset of the tytn, still not able to connect with the EEE though.

I didnt change the DHCP allocator - it looks to be off with 0.89 - but curious to know what it means?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
DHCP Allocator is a WinMo component that gives a bit more control over DHCP, as is explained in the first post of this thread.

Now try this...

Disconnect your device from everything. Turn on WiFi on your device. Try finding it. It wont route, but if you can't find the network this way, there's something wrong with your EEE's WiFi setup.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] colin9876:
EEE problem

You know I think this may be an EEE problem because a lot of networks Ive found get stuck at the pending stage. The EEE now sees the WMWiFIRouter at 100% signal but never connects fully

I would be interested to know if anyone gets this to work with an EEE?

Just out of interest Ive also tried connecting my EEE to the pda internet

USB lead

Bluetooth

And both dont work for me

In my opinion u want to use the EEE for anymore than 'Speak or Spell applications built in' then its incredibly hard to set up

I said that on the EEE forum but I got flamed for it lol!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I know for a fact some other people with EEE were successfull in setting it up. Don't recall who though :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
For those crashing, hanging, etc

Here is a test version for you all. Try it out.

Some new fatal error messages have been introduced that may catch the problem.

If it still doesn't work, try these debug registry settings:

HKLM\Software\WMWifiRouter\NoThreadPriority DWORD 1

Setting this will disable the thread priority calls

HKLM\Software\WMWifiRouter\NoHTCHack DWORD 1

Settings this will disable the HTC auto-WiFi-off when there is no activity hack

HKLM\Software\WMWifiRouter\NoWZC DWORD 1

Settings this will disable the Wireless Zero Configuration calls

HKLM\Software\WMWifiRouter\Standalone DWORD 1

Puts WMWifiRouter in standalone mode - which means that you didn't use an installer, among other things this enables the shortcut creation/removal options.

The above settings can be turned on again by changing the values to 0 or simple deleting the keys. Note that these registry entries are not present by default.

Try fiddling with these to get WMWifiRouter to work and let me know the results! To start out, it is probably the easiest to set all those registry entries to 1 (except Standalone, use your own judgement on that one), and if that works removing them one by one to see when it stops working.

The attached files are debug version for people with crashing, hanging, freezing, not starting, etc sort of problems. This is not a normal release!

Attached are:

WMWifiRouter.CAB - Normal installer

WMWifiRouter_NoNet.CAB - Installer that doesn't create Ad-Hoc network

WMWifiRouter.ZIP - WMWifiRouter application only, no installer

Just to report, version 0.89 is working perfectly for me on my hermes.. currently posting this using the router..

kudos to u chainfire.. keep it up! :)

Edit:

my connection speed when running WMWifiRouter 0.89

connected automatically when running it the first time & when changing teethering mode to usb, it also connected automatically without the need to change setting/ip configuration in device's connection/wifi tab..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Thanks, added Hermes to working devices list :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eva_d:
I've noticed another thing. After I use WWR, and then just want to connect to my home WLAN, I need to re-enter my WPA2 passphrase again - somehow WWR resets existing wireless profiles in my Kaiser. Is there some particular reason for that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I have noticed some weird **** with wireless configuration after using WMWifiRouter myself as well (not being able to manipulate it unless WiFi is turned on, for example). It is caused by the rebind, but this is a 100% necessary step to do to get this to work - and the code for that actually comes straight from MS peoples.

I've found that doing a soft-reset after using WMWifiRouter clears up that stuff. Could you try using WMWifiRouter, then soft-resetting, then connecting to your home wlan? See if you have to enter the key again then as well?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rongara:
It's working!

Not sure if it's because of the new version as I just realized that only TKIP seems to be supported and not AES: When I select AES "my" error occurs always, not with TKIP.

btw: If TKIP is set I can start WMWiFiRouter, and it's configured as it should, but my notebook claims to get IP adress, but seems not to get one. WEP is working, so it seems to be an issue with my Wlan-drivers.

Chainfire: Thank you very much for your support and thiy really cool tool!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Hey this is cool news. So if I understand this correctly, you have WPA with AES working? Please confirm. If possible, could you also confirm that you can still connect multiple devices (if you have multiple) ?

EDIT: OK, scrap that, learn to read, Chainfire! Also, it has been reported before that WPA does not work :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rongara:
I'm sorry for my simple English skills, but I'm already doing my very best :)

No, only with TKIP. And with TKIP it's that on the Polaris everything is fine. But my notebook doesn't get an IP adress for some reason.

With AES selected "my" issue always occurs. I'm not sure if thats only with the new version or if this may also have been the reason before.

Only no encryption or WEP are working on the Polaris and my notebook.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] colin9876:
YipEEEEEEEE

Its working on the EEE too now.

Had to go and set up the connection under the networks icon under Internet!

Thanks!

hey chainfire, last time i downloaded a version of wmwifi was when you added the new animations.... its been working flawlessy on my sprint mogul even with the screen being turned off.. Is there any reason for me to upgrade to this new version if everythign works flawlessy?

And if so.. what is the best way to install if, since ive already been using the past version
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Look at the changelog... you can see when UI was added, you can decide for yourself if you want a new version.

I'd take the installer without network settings if I were you and decided to upgrade.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schettj:
This latest version is working on mogul 2.17 stock sprint rom.

Now provides network connection for my ipod touch :D

Ran into this: WMWifiRouter does not connect to the "WMWifiRouter" network but to network X - the workaround worked fine, but it would be nice if you could force the ad hoc setting in WMWifiRouter itself...

Had to soft-reset mogul after running WMWifiRouter to regain normal wifi operations - still not bad at all in a pinch

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thelostsoul:
Hi Chainfire, have you been able to get that patched ICS for WM6 Classic? The current latest one is still not working...I have nothing listed under "Network connections" in ICS which I guess leads WMWiFiRouter to fail at Waiting for connection because it can't get one using ICS...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
No you have nothing listed because it is missing the translation text. In other words, it's just failing to show you text, the options are there. This shouldn't be an issue (though that doesn't mean necessarily that ICS will work).

What I am wondering though, is that WM6 Classic does not have phone capability.... are you sure you have a cellular data line as well as WiFi on your device? If you do, either you are not running WM6 Classic or something is weird!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lchlucky:
Does anyone else have a problem with this disabling internet? Everytime I use this I receive an error stating "remote party has ended the connection" followed by the dreaded 67 error. I cannot get past this at that point. Had success one time with Sprint reprovisioning my phone but others not. A hard reset on the phone however resolves the issue every single time. This tells me something is changed in the registry that is having issues. Ive poked around through the forums and tried to understand how the registry works in regards to sprint but couldn't find the answer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Are you using the latest version? The Sprint hacks in WMWifiRouter should prevent exactly this error.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lchlucky:
Yes I hit your link to the site and downloaded it yesterday. One of the previous versions I used a few weeks ago worked fine for about 2-3 hours then suddenly generated the 67 error. I tried to resolve through out the day but ended up hard resetting to fix it. I was estatic when the previous version was working so I keep trying it even though it results in the hard reset. I need to get a backup utility to make the whole process less painful.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thelostsoul:
No, I don't but I thought it could use the WiFi connection for both purposes, no?

In other words, use it to boost my router...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xda-ajr:
Chainfire,

Good news, using the .exe it looks like I have gotten my nokia n800 connected to the internet via my Dash! That is historic!

Ok now for the problems.

1) The aforementioned problem with the installer piece saying that the install was unsuccessful.

2) I did NOT create an adhoc wifi called WMWifiRouter. Instead I had one there called TNETWLN1 and WMWifiRouter says it connected to that, is that possible?

3) The first time I launched WMWifiRouter i got a screen saying it was backing up registry settings, with an OK menu item (The dash has an unusual menu setup where there are 2 menus areas at the bottom with a hard button for each, no touch screen). Selecting ok did not dismiss that screen but I could see the title bar apparently changing to other dash windows. The only way out was to recycle the power. After restarting the dash, I launched the router again, it got stuck again but this time I just started mashing buttons randomly. The dash started doing various things in the background (like starting a phone call) with the screen still showing the 'backing up registry' window. But eventually it freed up and went to the WMWifiRouter screen. So there is some problem with hanging or freezing on the UI. I think i also had a similar problem trying to get out of the about page. But this test is extremely encouraging!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eva_d:
OK, I'll try to test that way later in the evening at home.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Ok first off, what is your phones model, carrier, WM version, WMWifiRouter version, etc.

What is still unclear to me:

- does this happen after using WMWifiRouter a while, or can you not use WMWifiRouter successfully at all?

- have you tried softresets between the issues? This doesn't help?

As for the hardresets, I can recommend Sprite Backup. I hard-reset a lot myself. Set everything up as you want it, make a full backup with Sprite Backup. Now after soft-reset, simply run the EXE to restore everything. The EXE is put on your storage card so not overwritten by the restore process.

I can help you figure out what the difference in registry is, if you like. First, hard-reset the device so everything is 'normal'. Then copy the EXE from the attached ZIP to your device and run it. Click 'Dump' and wait 'til it says 'Done'. It will have created two files in the directory you put the EXE. Copy these to your computer and rename to something like 'before.registry.bin' and 'before.files.bin'. Now use WMWifiRouter so the issue occurs. After you have the issue, run the program again and dump again. Copy those files to your computer and rename to 'after.registry.bin' and 'after.files.bin'. Put the .bin files in a ZIP and post them here, and I will look at them for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
It's not possible by design at least. I don't think you will it get it to work that way.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
This is certainly great news, even if it still has a lot of troubles :D

A few questions/comments for you:

- I know I asked this before but please confirm again: you have tried BOTH installers, with and without network settings versions, and they both don't work? And you had WiFi turned on for both?

- Not having WMWifiRouter Ad-Hoc does not really matter, so long as you have ANY Ad-Hoc connection configured. Strange that you have one named to the identifier of your network card though.

- Could you get me screenshots of the following:

--- creating registry backup screen

--- about screen

If you do not get the registry backup screen again (it only does this when there is no backup), delete WMWifiRouter.backup file and set HKLM\Software\WMWifiRouter\SetupBackup (dword) to 0

Creating screenshots is not difficullt. Install "MyMobiler" (google) on your PC, connect the Dash through USB cable, and open MyMobiler on PC... you should get your Dash screen on the desktop. You can capture this screen by focusing it (make sure its the application receiving input from keyboard, click on title bar or something), pressing alt+prtscrn, open paint and edit->paste.

This is probably a bug in the widget set I use. I will see what I can do about this for you :)

battery saving tip

Chainfire, This really is a fab utility, especially for devices like the EEE which are not so easy to tether via USB, and dont have bluetooth. This makes it much simpler

Can I make a battery saving request for a change of screen graphics in the next version.

If u make the background black, instead of white it will save battery. Light pixels take more energy to display than dark ones, and so this minor change will make a useful difference
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Does the power button not work for you? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lennysh:
Does your app do a change to allow the power button to be used? I know WiFi by default turn's off when I push the power button....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Well the program tells the device "thou shallt not really suspend, thou shallt remain working in unattended mode, and thou shallt in no case turn off the WiFi". The device doesn't always listen though. For most people it only works when another device is actually connected to it, and for a rare few it doesn't work at all. So now if you press the power button, it turns off pretty much everything consuming power except the WiFi, and doesn't really suspend the device, just goes into ultra-low power mode (this is the same mode that is used by the mail checking programs even though your device doesn't seem to come on)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ClashOfThe:
success

Just thought i'd let you know i got it working, and how.

Installed .89 and for some bizzarre reason my ameo could not pick up the WWR on my kaiser. (ameo set to show only computer to computer).

I changed the settings on the kaiser to:-

ip: 192.168.0.1

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

default gateway: 192.168.0.1

DNS: 192.168.0.1

The athena found the kaiser straight away and connected when told to and used the data too.

I don't know if it was what i changed that made the difference but it did work.

Great work Chainfire. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edeplano:
Great app! I am always forgetting my USB cable ...

Any plans to get this app working in 128dpi resolution (RealVGA)?

I have an Athena and I could only get it to work under 'normal' 192dpi resolution...

Sorry if this has been covered already but I have found nothing by searching...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Don't run RealVGA, may check it out. What is the problem with it?

EDIT: Just tried installing it.. had issues.. had to hard-rest :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] colin9876:
black please?

Power off or even just X minimising the app soon looses me the connection.

Just out of curiousity, I wonder if the poster who had troulble connecting to the Ameo has a similar thing to me connecting to the EEE

It seems to be an adress thingy that it hangs at if I try and connect directly. Its odd that my laptop can do it, and the EEE will do it iff connected via the communications manager on the Network icon??
