Hi all.
Our network administrator periodically changes the network key for our wireless access points for security reasons. Then our laptops are configured to use the new network key by copying and pasting the new key onto each computer using a flash disk. In my case, when I want to access the network using my Wizard, I have to physically input the new key in character by character each time (and it's usually quite a complex key at that!). I was wondering if any of you know if it's possible to paste the new key into the password field from a text file or email, since the usual tap-and-hold method of pasting text doesn't seem to work when inputting passwords.
Have you tried using the popup keyboard, ctrl v?

Hi all,
I've got a a wifi network with a full length pass phrase that uses the complete extended ascii alphabet (including characters not on the TyTn) and am wondering if there is a way to cut and paste the key into the network key field of the wifi configuration wizard?
Thanks
Same problem
Yes, I have the same problem as you do. I can not paste the long WPA key into the box. The Paste option is disabled. Did you find any solution?

I use a free download called Hitchhiker which is meant for seeking out and making it easy to log onto networks. I've just tried and it allows pasting of the key into the box. If you then exit hitchhiker it says it will disconnect from the network, But don't worry as it saves the key to the appropriate place so when you log in again by the normal route it is already entered.
NB obviously you can save a text file on PC with the key on it and move it to Hermes but when pasting use ctrl v to paste on softkeyboard not usual press and hold the stylus as that does not give the paste option.

hy there,
does anybody know how to reset connection settings, other than hard reset?
I deleted everything I could in connection settings, but when I want to add a certain new connection, the message is "connection already exists"....
delete all relevant entries in the registry would be fine.
yes but where in the registry? current user, local machine or?or just type the name of the connection and search the registry?
solved that...
now, does anybody know how to export favorites from mozzila browser to the internet explorer browser of my trinity? I tried with sync but it does viceversa.
type the name of the connection you want to delete, in the "search/find" field of the registry editor. you will see all the keys with that name.
Hi I have an O2 XDA Exec running Windows Mobile 5 and I'm trying to connect to my work wifi
we don't use certificates but we do have a 42 character WPA key with mixed upper/lower alphanumerics and special characters, it's a pain to type even when you can see what you are typing
my laptop connects quite happily using this key
so starting from not having a network connection on the xda, I use the connection manager to stop the phone network and enable only the wifi
the xda then detects the locally available networks and lets me select my works one
I set it up for work access and then I'm presented with the wpa key input field
using the main keyboard I have to type in the key and every time I get to about the 32nd character the phone keypad pops up as if I'm making a call, if I dismiss this I'm back at a now empty wpa key input field, it looks to me like there's a buffer overflow error of some sort happening there
I cannot paste into this field using the main keyboard, however copying the text of the key from a file to the clipboard and using ctrl-v from the on screen keyboard seems to paste something into the field, however the xda still fails to connect and eventually turns the wifi off
going to the "Configure Network Authentication" dialogue I have deleted the works network and tried to manually add a new network with the same name, manually typing in the key which doesn't seem to throw the phone application up this time, then I tell it to connect and it tries for a few minutes and then disables the wifi again
is there any way I can add this key in directly say by importing a reg file or creating a certificate of some sort, at least that way I would know the key was typed correctly
Sorted it
I installed a copy of Hitchhiker which not only let me see the key that I was typing in but let me paste the one out of the file I was given, I could then connect, then I removed Hitchhiker and lo I could still connect
I want to automatically select the default network to which the device connects
(the first combo in Settings->WirelessControls->menu->Connections->Advanced->SelectNetworks -
See attached image)
My problem is as follows -
When I set up the connection to the operator -
it sets the default network to be <<3G Portal>>
I want to automatically change it to <<Internet 3G>>
(Or in the worst case -
Automatically delete the <<3G Portal>> -
making the <<Internet 3G>> the only available option -
which will force it to be default)
Does anyone know how to do this ?
(Even if some Cpp/C# code is needed - does anyone know the API ?)
Thanks
Not a lot of sense there
Looking at the screen print
The phone is set up to access the web FIRST via the 3G portal (every phone needs a portal to get online).
The second option looks to me to be a WIFI connection. Wifi always take priority over gprs/3g/hspa
so unless you can make a bit more clear what your looking for......................

Of course, if you mean a different web access point get the APN settings and manualy add then from the settings menu - wireless and networks access point names - press the menu button - add apn
As I understand your Q, you wanna auto set the default network without having to manually change it everytime you hard reset / change roms?
Here's what I do for such things.
Get ceregistry editor, connect to your phone, export the registry to file, then, on the phone, change the default access point to the one you would rather it was, (possibly reboot phone here to be sure the registry has changed the default apn,) back into ceregistry editor, compare current registry to the snapshot, figure out which key changed, and to what value, then provision that reg key (via a cab, or provxml,) whenever you hard reset, after the network has been set up. (I have a cab with dozens of tweaks in it,you can just keep adding to it)

Thanks for the reply.
Both connections are over the Cellular network.
The first one (3G Portal) is set up by the operator to go via some proxies and stuff, which block certain services/sites as they are not stored on this proxy.
The Second one is "unfiltered" internet connection over the Cellular network.
Whenever the network is detected and set up, the settings are automaticelly set to go via the "proxied" connection.
I want to change it to work over the unfiltered connection.
I would like to know the registry keys or any other place this information is kept, so I could automatically change it.
I tried searching the registry for these values but could not get to a definite conclusion about where exactly the "default connection" is stored, or if it is stored in the registry altogether.
(If it is stored in the registry - I do NOT want a complete registry import/export - just the relevant keys)
Many thanks in advance.
Yes it is stored in the reg, but it stores an ID for each connection which is different for everyone, hence the method I suggested which would reveal both the key and the ID, I wasn't suggesting you import a whole registry, simply make a cab of just the one key. It would take about 10 mins to do, but I'm not running winmo so can't lookup the key for you.

Try using Data Controller by Red Frogfish. With this app, you can turn on and off all of your different connections indvidually.
Since, I have T-Mobile, I have the following connections:
T-Mobile Data
T-Mobile MMS
T-Mobile Internet
And, Data Controller lets turn each on or off as needed/wanted.

Ok, thanks.
I will try this method.
