Is there a decent wifo config utility for WM5/Wizard? The built in one seems a bit limited to me. I tried the Retina one but it does not work (cannot load driver);

tried HitchHiker?

I have had two different HTC Fuze devices now and have noticed that the WiFi performance seems to be rather slow. I have a 54mbps wireless network setup I believe (I use wired Gigabit ethernet for my PCs, WHS & Media Streamer), yet the only difference in speeds I notice between my WiFi network and AT&T's 3G seem to be better latency on WiFi. I have tried all 3 different WiFi settings in Windows Mobile, Performance/Balanced/BatterySave, and they don't seem to make much difference.
Now, as far as Opera Mobile goes, the poor speed can probably be attributed to the browser's rendering engine and the device's hardware, but my real complaint here is with the RSS reader I use, Spb Insight. I have 58 feeds set up, and it took it about 30-35 minutes to download 42.7~ MB of data over my WiFi network. I realize this isn't too bad, all things considered, but my Comcast cable connection is 20 mbps downlink, and if I were to download 42 megs of data on my desktop PC, we'd be looking at around 21 seconds (max transfer of ~2.11 MB/sec, tested on GigaNews USENET servers).
So my question is, assuming the bottleneck isn't the Spb Insight RSS Reader software, which I don't think it is, are there any registry changes/hacks or software I can use to get a bit better speed out of the Fuze's WiFi radio? I am running the stock AT&T ROM with the workaround that bypasses the AT&T BloatWare Install and my radio is stock also. I did a few forum searches and didn't come up with much of anything, and nothing Fuze related.
Is anyone else noticing slower-than-expected/desired WiFi speeds on their Fuze?
-- As an aside, I noted earlier I have a Media Streamer box - basically a dedicated small Shuttle brand PC box that I stuck a dual-core Celeron into that's only function is to transcode & stream videos via the Orb Software. I used a Seinfeld episode xvid @ 576x432 resolution that plays near-perfect, a frame-skip here and there (and looks gorgeous, I might add) on the Fuze using CorePlayer v1.2.5, but when I stream those same videos off my streamer box (transcoded into WMV) using Orb over WiFi, they're nearly unwatchable from all the hiccups and audio sync issues. I haven't even bothered trying it using 3G, since it can't even manage it over wireless. These videos streamed without any issue to my Archos 5 60GB Internet Media Tablet and Nokia N810 IT, both devices I've since sold, as the HTC Fuze replaces both without much issue, although the 600MHz ARM Cortex A8 + Graphics Chip in the Archos was a monster, eating webpages for breakfast & outputting 720p video to HDTV with nary a frameskip to be seen. They need to get those Cortex procs into mobile phones ASAP.
In any case, it seems like the WiFi is hindering me in this regard as well and I'd very much like to get this all ironed out so I can rest easy knowing my Fuze does everything I want it to. Sorry for the long-winded post, and a big thank you to all the contributors here for the amazing wealth of knowledge on these forums.
Try to change your radio stack, check for WLAN setup utilities to lock your transfer speed at 54 and try to make a WiFi connection with your PC to make sure it is not your router who makes lags
I noticed that the range of the Fuze's wi-fi is very limited. Anyone else notice this??
Having only used the Sprint TP, I didn't notice any specific issues with WiFi. Have you verified that all of the connection settings are properly configured? (wifi connects to internet instead of work network and your applications are set to use 'the internet' instead of 'MEdia Net') Then again, the stock Fuze ROM could very well just suck as most ATT HTC ROMs usually do
Hey all, on my Nokia s60s I used to be able to bluetooth tether to palm (My Zodiac 2) and Windows Mobile platforms. On Palm I had to use a script and AT commands to work right. Has something like this been done to the G1 yet? I know Windows Mobile I could just use anetshare (Which is my main setup basically) and get online. (Palm could do same)
However the reason I ask for a alternative way is because I learned from using the iphone tethered to the G1 is that the config is off. The iphone for example EXPECTS the internet to be FAST (Since it assumes your on a real wifi. Not a Wifi with the speed of a 56k) which as you know on a PC you can set TCP connections and timesouts etc to fit your connection profile.
When the product in question is dialing or tethering via bluetooth modem method, it seems to run a lil smoother as it understands what speed to expect.
Anyways just wondering. I like to be configured for all situations. =)
Evening, i cant seem to get the videos to run on my htc touch hd (standard orange phone) have i got to play around with any settings? thanks in advance
Paul.
Many routers don't open the ports properly. You need to config your router to manually forward a set range (eg ports 53010-53050) to the HD, then in the HTC streaming app, set the same port range.

Thanks mate, but far to compicated for me, your right though, because i found a wifi hotspot today and it worked! but at home with max bars it didnt
Paul. (BTW the quality was crap! thought this was high definition phone???)
Hi Paul.
Have you tried using myPlayer? I use that and it works on 2G, 3G & Wi-Fi, and looks great (it's obviously a bit laggy on slower connections, such as 2G).

Have a play - see how you get on.
Downloading.
Also with myplayer, you can download the files (assuming you are on wifi), and then the quality is very good in my experience, plus you can watch it when you can't get a signal

I never knew that! Nice one amithc. Seems that you do learn something new every day!
It makes my tube journeys a lot more interesting.
Also kept the kids entertained when the service was a bit slow in a restaurant.
Thanks a lot

Hello,
Iam using the DonSalari TF3D2 4.7 ROM together with Radio 1.17.25.09
I tried to use this App for Wifi Sharing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538874&highlight=sharing
Actually I can connect to the WiFi but I have no Internet Connection with this.
How can I solve the problem?
Is there a better utility for Sharing Internet over WiFi?
Regards,
sapphire_pro
I'm also very interesting in that particular case. Because, my Diamond isn't recognized when I plug it on a PC (mine or work, with different cable and with different OS)
My research found those things:
http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/blog/9/the-multiplatform-bible-using-your-handset-a-modem
- WalkingHotSpot (Not free)
- WMWifiRouter (Not free) but I tried and say it works well...but trial expired
- ICS Control (Free) but seems a little bit harder to setup, I have to look in details...
Hope this will help
WHICH APP for ineternet sharing over wifi
try this app is works great on mine. matter in fact in usein it right now lol
http://www.wmwifirouter.com/
It appears Android normally doesn't support wifi ad hoc networking. I believe this is the only mode used by the wifi routers available for many phones. It would be great to have portable hot spots.
Google has been messing with this for the last two years, but apparently it's a low priority:
Issue 82: wifi - support ad hoc networking
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82
The hardware should support it...anyone looking for a useful project?
I'm looking for the same thing also in my HTC Desire...
I found something like this: http://blog.joint.net/2009/07/connecting-android-phone-through-adhoc.html
But the guide says to modify the files but it doesn't say how. And also it refers to another forum wich I can't access...
Edit: This is the guide in Google Cache: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:fqqJ3W1PzaEJ:modmygphone.com/forums/showthread.php%3Ft%3D22681+http://modmygphone.com/forums/showthread.php%3Ft%3D22681&cd=1&hl=it&ct=clnk&gl=it
no need to use adhoc. use this http://www.connectify.me/
No, I need the capabilities of something like this: wmwifirouter.com

Very good .. Thank you... But I mainly use Mac OS X and Ubuntu..
ah well perhaps time to move to windows?
I tried to use connectify, but it messedup with my other com hardware and caused windows crashed with blue screen.
What i saw is that Connectify creates virtual device for every hardware and duplicate it with connectify suffice. I use a CDMA modem on laptop to connect with internet and it conflicted with driver.
Though i already have configured ad-hoc wifi on laptop and have used it with my previous ROM (Wildpuzzel V 8.0.1) but it does not work with CM7 ROMs
