Well, I'll wait for 1.0.0.9 then.....curious when it will be released!! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gorrecz:
nice, looks great and works well
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] segadc:
Nice software. I cannot believe it can turn wifi on even if the switch is not on. Cool.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
Actually 1.0.0.6 connected to hidden network if already in WM WIFI settings. 1.0.0.8 just deletes it from WM and wont connect.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tomygunner:
thanks for this newly version it is great, but it has an issue with WEP encryption it doesn't work. when i try to add a hex code it crashes with an error that WEP should be 5-13 characters. thats means the hex doesn't work correctly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] setox:
hey is there a way you can add default passwords to get into networks that are protected or something like a brute force method?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
This has been already fixed in upcoming 1.0.0.9. Update is coming soon
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Psygnosis84:
it would have been perfect if it had gps features like wififofum.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bodisson:
In most countries that is not considered polite, and in most countries I know is considered as stealing data and punishable by law.

Protected networks are called protected because inside them is something worth protecting, even if that is just bandwidth.

No bad feelings, eh?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] benzo:
from when i've installed wifi monster i don't turn on/off wifi connection with QuickMenu2.8.

i've tried to uninstall wifimonster but quickmenu keeps on not working..

've tried to uninstall/install quickmenu too but without solution...

can someone help me?

tnx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
WiFi monster clears preferred network list, so your saved passwords got lost. May this be the case? If so, than you need to uuninstall WFM and then reconnect to your network using windows mobile built-in WiFi manager.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tbag:
Is this on app to date?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
Does anyone have 1.0.0.6 please?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
Not yet, but coming soon
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adwinp:
It would be nice if you could add the protection type (WEP/WPA) instead of "Private"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
It is already there. Uploading fresh update now, will be available in couple minutes
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
Update [Apr 03 2009] v1.0.22.12

* Connects to hidden networks (not broadcasting their SSIDs)

* Hex keys are now working

* Build numbering changed to be more common (Major.Minor.Build.Revision)

Still does not maintain/save the list of preferred networks

Manual Choice

Let's say I'm in range of more than one network, is there a way of manually choosing one? Right now it seems to pick the one with the strongest strength or one that is open/ non private. I'm new to WIFI Monster and liking it so far but would like to see more options.

Thanks and keep up the good work....

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] majorassface:
My bad Monster, I guess I forgot about the international crowd! Love the app and it's only getting better. I tried 1.0.22.12 as soon as it dropped. Working good!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
Try to press Disconnect button (grayed earth icon) while connected. you should see nearby network list. Select one net, press Connect. Are you using latest one?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
Yep that is the one. I am trying to download direct to my phone via wifi. I have used both pocket IE and Opera...but it is empty

Did this same with 1.0.0.x zip versions and they worked.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emresumengen:
Use the cab version, if you're downloading direct to phone...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
I changed archiver in 1.0.22.12. Seems like it was a bad idea. will change it back to 7-zip in the next update.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
Update [Apr 04 2009] v1.0.24.14

* AppToDate support added
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
Yeah, I finally downloaded it to my computer and unzipped it that way. Then copied that folder to my phone.

It works great! The only problem is, it doesn't save the ssid and key when I exit the program. Am I missing something or does it not save? Do you plan on making it save the info because it is a pain to enter that info every time (WPA2-AES key).

And why does it delete the WM saved wireless info?

Thanks for the great program. I use it to test the wireless and see what the coverage is.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
The plan is to completely substitute WZC. Right now there is only part of substitution done - I clear WZC info :) Of course, the app will remember keys. This is a main goal for the nearest future.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
Update [Apr 04 2009] v1.0.25.14

* AppToDate for QVGA fixed
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emresumengen:
Well, can't we leave that one thing as the last, then??? I mean, I don't want to launch the app right now, as it did delete my huge list of AP's, which I cannot choose to save now. (Not that I blame you on that, it was written and known that would be the fate. But...)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ziziplanet:

WifiMonster 1.0.25.14

Hi,

this is really a great Application. But it crashes, when checking the HexKey Checkbox, when the Key field already contains the number.

regards

CyberCSK
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
I agree...I would rather have it keep the WM list of AP's instead of deleting them. I use PointUI Home2 with the Device Manager applet to turn my WiFi on/off. It uses what is in the WM wifi list to control the wifi module. I am not so sure it would even recognise what is in your WiFi Monster to be able to turn it on or off using the Device Manager applet.

Really, the only thing I use your applet for is to check the signal strength, and the rate of the AP I am connected to. If somehow you could either leave the WM list of AP's, or come up with a way of third party apps to control the wifi module through your WiFi Monster app (Device Manager to turn on/off wifi) with its own saved list of AP's then it would be cool and I would use it more. Even making your app read what is saved in the WM list and then show them in the WiFi Monster list would work too.

1.0.0.6 was the last one that did not delete what you had saved.

I don't know, just my .02 worth. Good job making this!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
The problem in keeping WM preferred AP list is following: as soon that list contains some networks, WM tries to connect them automatically, I cannot control this from within the application. And it chooses just the AP it prefers for some reason.

In order to be able to control connection process in details, I have to clear that list, and only add there the single AP when I want WiFi to connect this AP.

AFAIK, Hitchhiker and WeFi do the same, so it seems like there is no other way.

However, I might be missing something, since the documentation on WZC is absolutely poor.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Frenik:
Thanks for the explanation, I was just about to ask why it was necessary to clear the AP list.

Just one thing I noticed though is that I can't paste a key when trying to connect to my protected network.

Saving the wifi settings ...

Hi thank you very much for the great tool (again).

For the persons having problem with the wifi settings, here is a temporary solution pending the final solution (of m0n5ter).

Use this xml file and put all your wifi settings, then you can choose, to import the setting using TaskManager v3.1 from FdcSoft (Menu/Action/Install provision. XML) of just convert the xml file to cab using QuickCab or something else and just run the cab to recover your settings. Much faster, and if m0n5ter can add a link or something to automate this withing the application (temporary) it will be great.

If there are questions, I can help. Thank you.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hendrixus:
On you're website the version is mentioned 1.0.25.14

v1.0.25.14 (04-04-2009):

- AppToDate support fixed in QVGA version.

v1.0.24.14 (04-04-2009):

- AppToDate support.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
Fixed. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hendrixus:
Thanks for this freeware too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LoudBob:

Please support my Spectec SDW-821 SD WLAN/WIFI-Card...

Is there any chance in future?

Thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
At this point the app does not support any specific device, it works with WZC driver. If this card is WZC compatible - everything should work just out of the box. If not... well it would be hard to support it. Did you try to run the app? Did it failed? With what message?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shokhatri:
Hi,

I think your website is down,

Got it from freeware pocket pc,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
Strange... Checked it with http://www.hyperspin.com/en/quicktest.php, seems ok.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
This is a pretty cool tool :) There are some quirks though:

1- Default WinMo messages still display sometimes when networks are discovered (I was under the belief WiFi Monters deactivated these). Check the first image.

2- In the screen of the connected network, the battery power guard part of the menu is not in the right place (too high) in wide screen devices (at least in WQVGA devices... Samsung Omnia) since in the network list screen it displays right above the buttons. Check the second image.

Also have some small interface suggestions:

1- Hide WinMo bottom bar. The SIP usage is only really needed in the option menu and can be bypassed (you already provide the up/down buttons near the textboxes... if needed something in the lines of a scrollbar could also be used). Main point is to save space.

2- Merge connect/disconnect icons. Use the same icon for both (the position of the icon thet is). Apearence of the icon changes acording to connection status (between the two icons currently used to connect/disconnect)

3- Do not automatically switch between list of networks and connected network (when connected). Split the menus in 2 (if point 2 is applied an icon space is saved).

4- If all Battery Guard options are disabled there's no need to still show the Battery Power Guard info.

Hope I'm not being too annoying...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterbonge:
The basic idea of this program is really nice, but I have some problems:

1. If I'm already connected to a WLAN and start the program it automatically disconnects. That is annoying.

2. I'm not able to connect to my private WLAN (WPA2-PSK/AES). After entering the key the program tries endless to connect. If I'm trying the same with WM itself it works fine.

3. There is a bug in the "Key entry" dialog: First it shows:

"8 to 63 characters expected"

After switching on HEX it shows:

"10 or 26 ..."

After switching off HEX again it shows:

"5 or 13 ..."

4. I have a big problem with the bottom icon bar. The icons are nice, but they are not all very suitable. They are also not very well arranged (e.g. why is the "Switch off WiFi" icon between Config and Exit?). My suggestion:

[1] Toggle WLAN/WiFi. The icon should be the WiFi sign. The status should be shown very clearly.

[2] Connect/Smart Connect. If possible "Toggle Connection". The icon should be something like the connections icon of WM.

[3] Space (maybe).

[4] Config.

[5] Exit.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] YoLoLo:
Hello, and let me 1st thank you for offering you work to the public... Nice state of mind ! ;)

Does this tool is WM5 compatible ?

I've got a QTEK S200 with WM5, Built-in Wi-Fi, .NET CF V3.5 installed on storage Card.

I've tried to install WiFiMonster to the StorageCard, and i haven't succeed to make it operate (even after a soft reset)...

The interface launchs (with haptic feedback, nice !), and will crash with .NET error messages...

Is it OS related ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emresumengen:
Thanks for the reply :)

I can understand that you need no interference from WZC and I believe u'r absolutely right on that, whatever the reason. I think MS suck with it, whether it's mobile or desktop.

But, what I meant was, until the development comes to a point where the app can store it's own keys and settings, we can delay that erasing, can't we?

I have over 10 profiles stored on my device and I use at least 3 of them regularly... Two of these 3 are 26 hex passwords (company policy) and I can't even paste these (WPA2/AES). So, that makes the app non-startable for me at least, even though I would really try and help search for bugs etc.

I hope I can set my point clearly now...

Really amazing the new version. And nice to see AppToDate support.

But the clearing of the WZC list is indeed a problem for me, too. I have a relative huge list of 15-25 wireless networks with all sorts of passwords saved, and dont want to loose them.

Can't it be implemented that if you start the Monster, the WZC AP list is saved, Monster takes control, and if you close it or it gets killed, WiFi Monster restores the WZC list? Just to be clear: If I use Monster only to connect to open/unsecure networks, my WZC list will not be touched/deleted?

Anyhow, thanks a lot for your hard work! Its simply the best WiFi app out there :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mittaa:
Hi

Same here ... really would like some solution to this problem too.

Like your application a lot :)

I have a flatrate dataplan, so I need Wifi Monster to find free unprotected network when outside my own country.

- What about an option only to search for unprotected network?

- Could such an option help solving problem about clearing WZC list?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
Next update will have this solved. It will save preferred AP list upon start and restore it on exit. Unfortunatelly, this weeks I'm hardly busy at my main work, so development moves slower.

Moreover, in new version I'm working on, I've refused from using the third party library (OpenNETCF.Net) and decided to implement everything myself. This also took a lot of time, since wifi stuff really lacks documentation.

I'm trying to finish all that work before weekend.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mittaa:
At some point I just were afraid that you couldn't find any way to solve this problem :D

About my suggestion adding an option. I would like to descibe it a bit more clear ...

When home I do not need to use WIFI Monster. I just use 3G/EDGE or use my own secure WIFI connection.

When away from home (outside Denmark) I only want to search and connect to free unsecured WIFI spots. People without flatrate data would be in same situation ... they only want to use unsecured hotspots and never secured ones.

It would therefore be a nice feature being able to filter out all secure network.

Keep up the good work, but PLS don't stress yourself ... :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
Well... you were right :( I cannot solve this. WZC does not give any keys back. Say I had a saved network, the key was set to something appropriate. WZC provides a method to query all saved (aka preferred) networks. The method does work, but it simply replaces all the keys with "FakeFakeFakeFakeFakeFakeFakeFake" predefined string. So if I save this settings and then try to apply them, this network won't connect, since the key is wrong.

So... I cannot save preferred network info, what am I going to do then? I'm going to implement my own key storage asap.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alex0044:
very nice application

it would really nice if there was an option like "keep wifi on while on standby mode"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thafath:
I don't know if m0n5ter is planing to add this option to the App or no.

You can use this cab to keep wifi enabled on standby.

Or import this xml.

Testet WiFi Monster

Hi

I have been outside my country and did some testing.

I lived at a hotel with open WiFi, but the type you have to pay for in order to use.

Inside (or near) hotel same 6 or 7 hotspots keept popped up, mixing with some secured ones.

In streets with 3-4 hotels side by side the list often would be filled up with a lot of "open" useless spots.

Same situation in some streets where it was possible to pick up signal from 10-20 and even more spots all secured ...

Would be nice being able to exclude them all "one by one" or/and "exclude all".

Would be nice to have a button "hide/show secure network"

This may also solve another problem with large amount of WiFi's coursing some lag when scolling up/down the list.

Like the look, feel and idea of your application

Hope this will inspire you. Keep up the good work :)

I'm having the same problem, I can no longer use QuickMenu to toggle my WiFi.

I've tried uninstalling WiFi Monster, uninstall/re-install QuickMenu.

I've tried reconnecting to WiFi networks using WinMo built-in WiFi Manager (and it no longer saves my keys).

I still can't toggle my WiFi with QuickMenu.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tbag:
I use AKTogglewifi which seems to work fine after uninstalling wifi monster and setting up passwords with winmo built in. To be honest the claim "best wifi software ever" is a bit misleading, at least until there is an option to manually or automativvcally wipe all your passwords! I too have not used this software until an upgrade addresses these issues

Update [May 04, 2009] v1.0.27.33

* WiFi internals have been completelly reworked. I do not use OpenNETCF.Net library for that any more. All the code is written by me from scratch

* Known network storage has been implemented. You don't need to reenter network keys any more.

* Sent/Received bytes statistics was temporary hidden (needs additional implementation)

* "Connecting" view added

* Star icon to mark known network

* Tons of minor fixes and changes

* Site has been moved to its permanent location
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
Please try new version. WiFi stuff was rewritten there, should help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emresumengen:
So, it's kind of usable (daily) now, right? :)) (Storing network settings was the most important thing IMHO)

Does the app still delete Windows' own connection settings or not? If so, I'd love to give it another try...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
Yes, it does. It is impossible to read stored network keys from windows mobile, so the only way is to delete them and start accumulating them in own storage from scratch

using workplace hidden network

Hi,

I am Using 1.0.27.33, diamond, udk R6.

I'm in the workplace with a hidden network, and leap protocol (do not know if it is important).

I noticed that when I start your prog, it deletes all my network settings (I have my workplace hidden SSID network in the regular network connections), but thats ok.

The problem is that I do not know how to add my network SSID (work) to the list, because I do not know which one its there (there are many networks that are picked up).

How do I add my SSID hidden network?

hi,

my wep key has 10 characters (byte) so when i write the wep key the app crashes because it accepts 5 or 13 charatcters only....:(:(:(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
Hidden SSID network should be visible as "[Hidden network] XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX". In order to connect to such network, first you need to know its BSSID (those hexadecimal digits) to distinguish your network from other. Select it, hit Connect. You will be asked to enter SSID, security mode and a key. If everything entered correctly, it will connect.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
I will try to fix this in the next update. Thanks.
