Little more problem...

The app seems to forget my home WEP network key when I exit it. It shows the star while it's running (after first run, you put the key in, disconnect and see the network list with your wireless with a star). But as soon as I quit the app (end task or exit via icon) and re-run it, just starts from the beginning.

It can be my device or ROM of course, I have an Omnia running WM6.5 custom rom.

Anyway, back to WM again and wait a little further :)

(Can't we add a new mode, that would only display available networks, signal strengths etc. but do not mess with the connection process? I like using AKToggleWifi and assigned it to a button. Pressing it connects me automatically. Even if the app worked all fine, it would take much more than a key-press... Just a setting or a registry option maybe?)

Good job anyway, thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alon24:
Can't your program allow me to use it the same as the regular way?

I could enter my hidden SSID (since I don not know the BSSID) and you can iterate over all the hidden networks you found, and try to match.

I realy do not know where to get the BSSID, and its a usability issue too.

Thanks.

1.0.27.33 doesn't work for me

I've got a Touch Pro, and have used wifimonster since the very start.

All the versions have worked flawlessly for me, except the latest one.

In Wifimonster it says it's connected to my home network (hidden and WPA2-PSK network)

However, it actually is not getting completely connected, there is no internet, and if you check the default wifi manager, it still stays connecting in stead of connected.

As soon as I switch off wifimonster, the default manager can connect to all my networks without a problem.

Hope I can still find 1.0.24 somewhere on your site, that one worked perfectly.

Running WM6.1 (Lantis rom)

Hope you can fix this, love this little app...

I have a HTC Touch HD and I can not get it working on my device.

I have the following error screen (attached) - and I can not connect to my network. Any idea what could be the issue? I have original factory Rom and radio. thanks

Through the windows interface I can connect without a problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dadi68:
Hey M0nster, thanx for the application!

It runz great on my Touch Pro

One request plz

change the button icons with something more user friendly
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
Nice to see an update :) You still haven't fixed the WQVGA issue though (I use the QVGA setup)... Check image below.

Also there are some other issues/annoyances:

1- If I disconnect from a network using Wifi Monster all the network configuration I had saved in WinMo wifi manager will be deleted :mad:

2- Unable to assign the correct password since the app only allows the "5 or 13 characters expected" for WEP??? My WEP network has a 10 characters password! Using Wifi Monster I can't connect (unless I already had the network configuration saved in the default WinMo wifi manager).

3- Can I manage passwords in Wifi Monster? Can't seem to be able to edit/delete them once give the OK... Passwords don't seem to be saved either (couldn't test much since I can't use my correct password... see point 2).

4 - Can't select advanced config options for the network... My campus network has a WPA-TKIP connection which uses SecureW2 for EAP authentication. Can't connect using Wifi Monster.

5- "Multiple networks" displayed with the same name. My campus need to use several routers to broadcast the same network because of its size. Wifi Monster seems to report each diferent router as a different network.

6- Cannot bypass the automatic connection behaviour of Wifi Monster. It will automatically connect or reconnect (after you disconnect) to a network if you connected to it previously ... Many times I need to see which open networks are available around me and sometimes I need to switch. It's currently impossible because of this.

7- Automatically disable the default WinMo "show network notification" option when Wifi Monster is launched. It's kind of annoying when it pops up in front of Wifi Monster every once and a while when new networks are detected. Reenable once you exit the app.

Error on connection

Looks like a nice software, but I am getting the below error when I try to connect to my WEP encrypted network: (26 hex characters password)

My phone is the Tilt with stock 6.1WinMo and WiFi works well with in the windows connection manager and connects to the same WEP network without any problem.

Hope this helps debug and make it a really great app.

Not so nice.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edl:
Great Progi

Works very nice here, on my HD.

Realy professional.

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
For some reason I'm not even being prompted for keys anymore...

Also PLEASE remove or add an option to disable the "feature" that deletes all my networks configuration. Even if Wifi Monster could manage my networks perfectly this would still be a bad thing. If you enable wifi through a shell (I use Samsung today 2) and not Wifi Monster you have to configure the network everytime!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
Oh, yes, it deletes all saved access points. I mentioned this somewhere in changelogs and in this topic... I definitely should have done it more visible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
It doesn't ask for key if this network was already connected before. Known networks are shown with yellow star mark on them. Can this be the case? In the current version you cannot change the key or delete saved network (the only way is to delete networks.dat file in the program directory) I will implement editing/deleting soon.

And about deleting existing profiles... Unfortunately I cannot keep them... ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3625511&postcount=244 )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
Ok I got it working now. The old dat file must have stayed behind after unninstalling the old version... Wifi Monster can't read the defined wireless profiles? If I define my network (WEP) using WinMo, delete the networks.dat, and only then launche Wifi Monster it connects automatically without me inputing the password!?

Wifi Monster seems to add its settings to the WinMo manager. It also only seems to delete the other networks if no already defined network is available. I still think at least it didn't need to delete profiles of open networks and networks where the key is automatically provided right...

One wierd thing though. I assume it happens when no networks are defined in WinMo (at least available ones.. don't know for sure) and there is no networks.dat yet. Happens with my WEP network:

1- I select to connect to the network and input the password

2- Connection attempt times out and I'm returned to the network list

3- After some seconds it'll say I'm connected to my network but I'm not

4- I disconnect from the network

5- I select to connect to the network and input the password again

6- This time I'm connected

If the network was already defined in WinMo this doesn't happen and I connect automatically.

Some small details:

1- Ability to send the OK to accept a key with the keyboard (hardware or virtual) "enter" key.

2- When Wifi Monster is launched automatically disable the reg key equivalent to "Settings">"Wi-Fi">"Menu">"Advanced">"Show available network notification" (translation from my system language... don't know if it's the correct one in English)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lukesan:
Is there a way to make it have an option to make it a bit like netstumbler?

Meaning that it keeps the found networks that are not received anymore in the list?

The ability to save that list would also be great.

For the rest this is the most awesome complete showing wifi tool that I have ever seen on a ppc device.

Update [Jun 23, 2009] v1.0.39.118

Major memory leak has been eliminated

Added Signal Strength Chart

Added Warning message

Minor UI improvements and fixes

Stability fixes
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
I like this program very much, but i dont like that when connecting through it to another WiFi spot, my home WiFi connection looses the key that is needed to connect and i have to enter the key again. The key is then saved until the next time i use WiFi Monster and it gets lost again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
Yes, it is a most common complain about WFM. I will do something with this ASAP.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Javi_jie:
really nice program !

Thank you .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lukesan:
wifi monster looks nicer and still seems to be under development ;)

seems that I can only see 1 AP on my Touch HD when there are loads of them around here. Wififofum sees them all ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
WFM does some filtering, so it might skip very weak networks. Check out filter settings in Options.NetworkBrowser. Treshold=-100 and samples=1 will turn the filter off.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
Update [Jun 27, 2009] v1.0.42.127

Ability to export collected network profiles to WZC upon exit

Finally got rid of OpennetCF library. So installers are now only half in size

Network list does not force scolling selected item into view

Minor UI improvements
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Does this version solve the problem of the loss of the connection keys?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
More or less.

This version adds ability to export the list of network profiles saved in WiFiMonster back to WZC upon exit. That means the following: WFM still clears WZC on start (I have to. I explained earlier). WFM collects and stores newly added networks in its own storage. On exit WFM it asks if you want to update WZC. If yes, all networks known by WFM are exported to WZC, so you can conect to that networks without WfM. If after that you use WZC to connect some new network, this network will be lost on WFM startup.

The main reason for that is there is no possibility to read network keys from WZC (by security reasons)

Hi M0n5ter

Thanks for this great application :)

Just wondering about Favorite Network autoconnetion and Favorite Network not showing in list ...

Even after disconnection from my private protected Wifi, it dosn't figures on network list!

Is this by purpose?

I would prefer being able to se favorites too, or better than that ... a option to chose what kind of network I want to view or hide :o

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] papajohn:
Hi Monster,

I have a suggestion for this program, that might have been also been proposed before:

Make it check the unlocked wifi networks found for net access (ping something lets say). Once some of them provide connectivity, notify the user.

We have been using a similar program to a friend's iPhone and I must say it is awesome. It does definitely worth paying for. Your app has the potential, go for it! :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterbonge:
I've just tested the new version 1.0.51.145. It works good so far. I have just two problems:

1. The option to disable WIFI at exit doesn't work. WIFI stays on, regardless of the setting.

2. The networks.dat contains unencrypted SSIDs and keys/passwords. That is not good!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mittaa:

Can this wifi monster fetch wep keys? Sounds monster to me hope it realy does a monster in getting the wep key????

why to have wep key length limitation for 5-13 chars ?

It will be more flexible to support standard 64, 128 ,256 bits.. :confused:

how to get wep key using this monster?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
I will probably remove any restrictions on keys... Both WEP and WPA keys will be 0..64 chars
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterbonge:
I've just noticed that none (!) of the network filter options get saved. It would be nice if this could be fixed ASAP.

And a question: What is the difference between the following two options?:

- Show nearby networks only

- Hide weak signal networks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
Confirmed. The fix will be integrated into the upcoming new version. I have planned big changes to this iteration, so the release is delaying. I hope to finish somewhere within August.

"Show nearby networks only" means hide networks not currently in range.

"Hide weak signal networks" - hides "in-range, but signal is below treshold" networks

Goes open source!

Guys!

I have two news for you.

The bad news is I do not have any more time to develop WiFiMonster. We've got a newborn baby boy, so my spare time got over.

The good (hope so) news is: WiFiMonster goes open source. I uploaded current code to wifimonster.sourceforge.net

So now this project need developers to catch the falling flag. Hope someone is interested.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iridium21:
I'm sad that you can no longer develop this app, but I know how demanding new born babies are. The best of luck and enjoy it!

I do hope someone will pick up on developing this as it has great potential.

m0n5ter,

I just installed WIFI Monster 1.0.52.149 in my HP Ipaq 612c running WM6.5.

It looks a great application and it can show detail information of each wifi access points.

However, when I click on the left-bottom icon to connect the selected wifi, WIFI Monster is suddenly "disappear" and no wifi is connected. If run the application again, sometimes it may be "disappear" again on the screen of 'turnning wifi on' if wifi is always on.

Please advise.

Nice Application

Hello Monster,

This is a nice application. It looks nice.

But I have a question. When I start the application it clears my wireless "history". As is explained earlier in one of your posts. This is OK.

But when I turn on the wifi and let it search for the WIFI connection that is on it doesn't find it. (it is a hidden network but in the settings "Show hidden networks" is turned on. (everything is turned on except "Hide weak signal networks")

The network cant be found.

But when I go to the windows wifi settings and add the connection with the required key the connection can be found in WIFI Monster and the connection is made.

Another point I would like to mention.

When I'm connected to the network (the hidden network). the connection gets lost when the connectionstrength is better then -70 dBm (only for the hidden network)

I can see other networks with a strength of -60 dBm and the don't get lost.

I hope the points I mentioned are clear and I hope you can help me.

Kind Regards,

JeroenK

PS: I saw the code was now open source. But I can't download the entire project at once (or do I have the wrong website). Is this possible. and where.

Thanx for the help and for the nice application.

2nd version isnt working well on my sprint touch pro (stock rom). On start up, it turns off my wifi, and will not allow me to turn it back on until i exit out of the app. I went back to the first version which continues to work great (minus it not turning off wifi on exit) Just thought i'd let you know. Still a great app though :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jourdan:
Nice program, Thanks!!!! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0n5ter:
Hi dschoenike!

Thanks for reporting.

Could you please give me some more details on the bug, you reported?

So, you said second version turns WiFi off on enter. That's strange, program does not try to manage wifi power without pressing connect or disconnect buttons.

I seen similar thing on my HTC Diamond: sometimes when connected to computer, it turns wifi off. When I press connect - it turns it on for a couple of seconds then back off. If I disconnect ActiveSync - everything works great. Could it be what you are seeing?

That seems to be a bug in radio firmware, not in my app, because CommManager behaves just the same way.

Could you please also attach the log file (log.txt found in the app dir)?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dschoenike:
Thanks for responding. I reran the newest version, and all is well now. But like you had mentioned, the first time i tried it, it would try to connect wifi for a few seconds and quit. If i run into that issue again, ill post the bug report log. Im figuring something must have been wrong on my end. Thank you for your help. Keep up the great work.
