Does anyone know of an add-on software product that would substitute for the built-in wireless manager on the Alpine -- or is this a function of the Microsoft operating system?
I have a problem that when I go to my local coffee shop and try and pick up the wireless connection there, my device sees about 3 different available wireless networks. I have tried to click the preferred and non-preferred network box under the wireless manager settings, but I would like something that would help me specify EXACTLY what is the preferred Wi-Fi network to access (my coffee shop's). I don't see how the Alpine determines which network is the "preferred". It seems to get locked in to an endless searching for networks when there are 2 or more available networks to choose from.
try google 'wifi companion' works for me.

Problems with Wifi Companion proposed by Maichelp
Hey,
I have used the wifi companion - nice software. Problem is that since I have been using it, I've been getting a Pocket PC Networking error message box every 10 minutes. THe network is fine during that time, but it still gives me the message. Never happened before WiFi companion. I saw a few others with the same problem with wifi companion. Might have to do a hard reset...
Anybody (e.g. Maichelp) have any suggestions short of hard reset?
Thx.
I dont have this problem. I dont know.
sorry
I'm sorry,
if i'm not mistaking!
Look in the windows folder on your device, there are 2 files called WIFISDK.DLL rename 1 to WIFISDK1.DLL and try again.
this wil do the trick.

He all,
I got some connection problems.
If i insert my WiFi card(sandisk 256+WiFi) my I-mate detects it and the antanna is displayed in de buttom of my screen but whenni go to my browser(internet) the message :Cannot connect with current conection settings. To change your connection setting, tap settings.
But i have no id how to change the settings to make it work with my wireless network.
Also the WiFi card couses to freeze the system every once and while.If i take the card out everything is okey again.
I got the I-mate jam with latest rom and radio drivers and I already installed the drivers of the WiFi card.
I hope you guys can help me out with this one
Thanks in advance

I had a similar problem with my XDAII, believe it is likely to be a known problem and related to the dual function of the card.
Have you tried the website for updated drivers?
The other options are to ensure that it you have the correct settings for Work or Internet to connect to.
I assume you are connecting to a wireless Access Point on a home based WIFI system, or are you trying to connect to public hot spots?
Contacted clubimate?
It started after I installed the latest rom version you guys think I migh work if I installed the older version?>
GreetZ
Nick
which rom are you referring to, an original manufacturer version or a cooked rom from this site?
if it is a licensed version, I would contact imate, have you installed the latest drivers from the hardware supplier?
I think you may have to go to your wireless settings and ensure connect to the internet is selected. also,scan local networks and ensure you are connecting to the correct network.
my problem when I got that message was cause it was connecting to the guy next door with wep key required.
are you able to connect to your host pc via wifi using a mapped network drive? or are you simply using a wifi hotspot?
if using a wifi hotspot, you should select auto connect to non-preferred networks.
start - settings - connections and choose wireless or wifi or network and have a look at what is actually happening in the network configurations. if you are really struggling still, try posting some screen shots of your network connection settings
sorry misread post
Just to end this topic.
I returned it to sadisk and they said it was the memmory function.
I couldn't get a new one form the store i bought it so I got my money back,
I now have a new one without the extra memory.

Does the alpine has wifi? Can i use hotspots? I've checked the apps that come with the alpine and i don't know if i have the necessary app to do so.
I have WM2003SE.
Thanks a lot.
Yes it does, and yes you can!
I suggest a program called Hitchhiker, and also WiFiFoFum. Hitchhiker is an easy to use program that does all the techno stuff of connecting to different WiFi networks, and WiFiFoFum gives you a broad view of the available networks close to you.
You don't require either of these to access WiFi networks, you can simply turn on the WiFi on your Alpine and select the network to use.
thanks a lot!
is there a simple way to check if your built-in wlan device is working properly? I have the "socket wlan tools mobile edition" but when I try to turn the radio on nothing happens, I also installed the "hitchhicker" and i get a message error saying I don´t have a wlan device... what the heck?!
Thanks again

Hi,
I couldn't find any other thread about this problem:
My O2 Xda neo has stopped detecting Wifi networks.
I activate Wifi in the comm manager, Wifi appears to work (the antenna icon appears, but not "radiating"), but never searches for wifi networks, only asks me to add a new one, whereas before a few weeks or so, it would display all the Wifi's found in my vicinity.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
n
i have the same problem...and couldn't find a solution for about 6 months on now....=(
Have you try on setting\connectons\wifi ? it has the list of avaiable wifi access points that were detected when you turn on wifi on comm manager.
(with the wm5 rom on my prophet, it auto connect to wifi access point whenever i turn on wifi on comm manager but when i use wm6 rom, I have to go to setting\connectons\wifi and connect to avaiable access point manually )

well....is good that u can manually connect....my one...i already on my WIFI from the comm manager there....but when i go to setting/connection/WIFI.....
i still cant find any visible connecting point for me....but my house is wifi hot spot....i sit beside the router still cant detect anything....><"
haiz....><"
are u on Active sync or not? I remember that the Active sync on winXP have an option to disable wifi whenever you connect to pc (I use window mobile device center on Vista and don't remember exactly ).
sometime, when i can't connect to wifi, I check on setting connection and I found that the wifi icon with the name "WIFI" is replace with the same icon but with name "network card". I just soft reset and everything was fine then
Try Hard Resetting the Device
I have the same problem here with prophet g4 and wm6.1 konrad (tryed shadow's too).
Autosearch of wifi networks is missing.
maybe this our solution:
but how to proceed??
I wonder if this is hardware rather than software. Try an official WM5 (AKU2.2) ROM from the ftp/wiki and see if you still get this problem.
Can a hardware issue be fixed???
Hey all I am having the same problem on a Wizard wifi LED is blinking antena icon is up but no detection of APs I am ready to throw this thing. Some one hook a soln up please!!!
Like already write, I'm looking to helps ref a singular problem in my ppc branded SB but with sw THC in english - I was buy it in thailand one month ago and until 20 of december everythink was ok, but...
I found that the ROM contain the: HTC TyTN 1.18.255.106 ExtROM WWE
The NETWORK MANAGER show me that the tytn is CONNECT to WIFI access point but in the CONNECTIONS always appear no any presence of WIRELESS SERVICE that I can select to use for browse my server , internet and/or skype call
If I use the usb connection there is connection, same by umts and gprs services
Really I don't unterstand what's happen!
I was already many time doing the hard reset but nothing is change!
What you think about?
May be that there are corrupted files that avoid to install few commands?
Regards Freddie
There are the other part of sw that are install in the device by the manufacturer or seller that are not include inside the rom place?
Thanks in advance for your helpings

go to setting >connections>network cards>
then
you will see a bunch of access points
when you see the one that says available
hold the styles down on it
tap connect
and you should be ok
also check the drop down menu on the bottom of the page
make sure its on both access points and whatever else it says
and also disable the cingular proxy
start>settings>connections>connections>setup proxy server>uncheck the uses proxy server to connect to the internet box
Sorry may be that I was wrong explaine you:
1. in the setting>connections>network cards = no problem my tytn find the access point and after my prompt connect without problem.
2. the problem is in the setting>connections>connections>advanced>select networks>my ISP>edit ... = where there are no tracks of the wireless network available to be select, in way to use the wifi connection that in setting>connections>network cards is ON
I wait your reply thanks
Black Eagle
black eagle,
I think I've undertand your question...
If you have found the WiFi access point and have gotten conected, there is no need to set a conection for that access point;At least, for me that it's not necesary.
When I go to a public place with wifi, or in my home LAN, just let the connections settings to "My ISP" without any changes (no new modem, nothing at all) and thats all, you can surf the net.
regards;
mablan
my problem solved
hi mablan,
thanx very much, fortunately i searched the forum for wifi and got ur post.
i too had the problem of getting good wifi connectivity over my adsl router witg my prophet( O2 neo) but not able to surf net in PIE. when i selected network as "My ISP" it all gone and now i am able to surf my adsl on neo, without any prblem.
thanx once again.
now only problem arises of autometically shifting/choosing of network for wifi and gprs. i remember it is stated somwhere in forum, i will make a try.
Hello mablan,
thanks for your interesting in my singular problem.
I understand what you mean but is not my case, even if my ppc in the setting>wireless lan>advanced>status result connected to the network, I cannot surf internet.
If I go to setting>networks cards i find my home hotspot that result waiting to connecting but ... always not connected
= in the wireless lan I am connected but in the network cards my connection don't exist - also in the connections>connections there is not the choice to select wireless network, don't exist
Hi BlackEagle, now I undestand your problem.
I'm sorry, I don't know what could be the cause of your problem.
Just a dumb question: Have you try to change the settings of your wireless network? I mean, in settings>connections>networkcards tap the name of the wn you want to use and change the settings of the Network key and 802.1x tabs...
If I found arround someplace something that can help you will let you know
regards and hope you find the answer..I'm sure someone here at the forum will help you

Hi,
.NET CF2 is the microsoft.NET software that can you download from msoft website:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...cb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en
download it 22,6 mb and with your device connect by usb install it, when you start the installation, it find your device connect and install just the appropriate drivers, not all the sw

This installable is for computer, its not for a mobile device. The microsoft webpage does not say this is for Windows Mobile OS.
KTyTnUser, check the date of the last post so as not to make a fool of yourself. It was almost 2 years ago....

so?
i am having the same problem with windows M 6 so looking for solutions. how does it matter if someone else faced the same problem 2 years ago?
Its relevant because MS may not be offering the same software to download. I've noticed that some of the older solutions aren't any good for certain things anymore as the apps no longer work for the OS I'm using or that the app, though easily found a while ago, is no longer supported by certain sites.
2 years is forever in the computer world....
