HI!
I have been using wifi Companion in all my previous devices, but when I have moved to Trinity it seems to either interfere with other programs (Pocket Controller? O2 suite?) or maybe with AKU 3 itself.:
- Network listing dissapears randomly.
- It shows no connection while the MS icon in topbar says it's connected.
- No WWW etc simbols in the connection page...
Any other experience about it?
Any suggestion in case you solved it?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, I got the same problem as well. I just gave up using it :-(
There are other tools mentioned here, that do work to detect wifi networks... please use the search function...
Try using GPSGate from franson. I know this fixes issues with WiFiFoFum on the Artemis. You need to output the GPS data onto another port. There's a free trial available, although I purchased it because it keeps the GPS running permenantly which provides near instant GPS fixes in applications such as tt6 etc.

thanks for answering, but I'm looking for an integrated solution to Wi-Fi management: changing networks, IP-profiles, and so on.
WifiCompanion suits most (not all) of my needs. I don't see any program so complete.
To saminegm: I did research, and tried (in other threads in this forum) with ministumbler, wifi fofum, hitchhiker, Wifi Knife, and -believe me- many others.
It's just that Wifi companion seems to fail in Trinity, that´s the reason for asking especifically in the Trinity forum.
Thansk anyway

Doesn't that use up the battery much faster to have GPS on all the time?
Wrong issue?
BTW weren't we talking about wi-fi programs? What is the issue with GPS? I don't even have a GPS enable ROM, they are not available in Spanish... yet.

Hi
I'm looking for a wifi sniffer/snooper similar to mini-stumbler that'll work with the wireless net card of the exec.
Ditto
I know
Try wiFiFoFum (google it I can't remember the link) its a very good sniffer which works on the exec AND supports GPS for wardriving. PS its also FREE
Socket Companion has released a WM 5. compliant WiFi application a few days back. You can have a go at that. Its not free btw.
Try Hitchhiker v0.32 works with WM5
available from

Excellent software, it was on my list of "Things that I have installed on my IPAQ to try on the Exec".
URL is http://www.aspecto-software.com/WiFiFoFum/
Some other points about the software :- It does not use an installer or CAB so nice and easy, also, make sure you do not use it at the same time as your activestink (USB) connection as it will not pick any WiFi access points up! There should be no reason to change any of the settings in the program to get it to work first time and pick up a AP even if you are already connected to it. Accessing the GPS might be another matter, not tried yet.
For anyone that has not used it yet, try it, its as good, if not better than the "non free" software and yes, it will log the gps location when a AP was found to a file for later incorporating into a TomTom POI for example.
It has issues with landscape display (it doesnt flip) but apart from that the software is fantastic!
ok I've tried wififofum with my leadtec bt gps and it works just fine.
wifi doesn't seem quite as sensitive as the ipaq 3715 but I can live with that!
wififofum all the way!
I found streethawk out on the modaco forums and was wondering if is a viable option over hitchhiker. Anyone know anything about compatibility with wm5? Usability?
doesn't work for me just says "waiting on WCZ to be free" forever and doesn't show any networks. (or was it WSZ? i can't remember)

Mine said the same, couldnt be arsed to try to get it working. Hitchhiker works perfectly for me.
Doesn't work here also.
Too bad....looked like a nice little app
Hitchiker always crashes after it's found the network for me. On an O2 mini s.
On my Qtek 9100 HitchHiker behaves strangely also. It usually finds half the APs WiFiFoFum does, and it NEVER connects. Also, on exiting it borks the PDA, and I have to manually remove it from memory to get things going again.
Is there anyone with a Qtek 9100 out there who has HitchHiker actually working and can suggest a reliable operating procedure?
Also, are there any other wardriving (WITH connecting feature) which actually work?
Well, I haven't tried Streethawk but it's disappointing that won't work.
I've had hitchiker running just fine on my wizard, though. I didn't do anything special but I exit just fine and while I only connect at my house it's able to do that just fine. I'll try doing a comparison sometime of the two war-drivers and see how many networks each gives me.
Couldnt get Hitchiker to work on my Wizard. Get a message about and error and the program has to close. This happens just after it has found an access point and tries to connect.
i find that WiFiFoFum works good for me, version 0.3.3.3 i think, if you go for the nicer looking version 2 then you have to install .net compact framework version 2 as well. plus if you connect a GPS unit then you can try and triangulate the signal
WiFiFoFum is great, but only to scan for APs. It doesn't have a simple way to select one of them and connect to it - or am I missing something?

No it's true - really annoying in a multiple network area if you want to hit a specific AP.
Yes sorry i forgot that, it doesnt allow you to connect, but i did find that it logs AP even if they have only got the WEAKEST signal or you only see it for a split second so you can then go in search. if im bored i go looking for AP's using WiFiFoFum and then try to connect using a combo of 'PockLan' which allows you to ping and search a range of an IP subnet and also map a drive of a share (the mapping is abit flacky) otherwise i use RescoExplorer to map the drive bacause its good at it.
Does anyone try and connect while wardriving or are you just looking?
P.S i am still looking for a good BlueJacking software for windows mobil, for symbian there are loads of good one like BTEXPLORer and SMan
Anyone know any? apart from 'smurf'
Hi All
I tested CommView® for WiFi PPC but is not working with Windows Mobile 5.0 - Qtek 9100. I see SDIO Wifi card in seting of CommView®. Install this detected driver but then Wifi module by Communication Manager cannot start.
Any Ideas?
Any other Wifi minitor or Wifi sniffer for Qtek 9100 or PPC?
Thanks you for any answear
Try WiFiFoFum, probably the best WiFi scanner for Windows mobile.
Beside regular features similar to many other WiFi programs, this one can find invisible SSID's, has a radar layout, and can be connected with GPS devices... A must have

Ohhh, thanks for answear. I go test it >
I testing WiFiFoFum.
...but
I must install .NET CF 2.0., which occupied 5MB of memory :shock:
....but
Great WiFiFoFum is software :lol:
I'm looking for some (inexpensive) software to detect wireless networks. Can anyone recommend a good scanning program for my Vario II?
Cheers.

I like Hitchhiker - scans and assists in connection to hotspots.
Also like Wififofum - has a nice radar type screen as an option or just lists networks and details. Does not connect to networks just shows them.
Both above require the .net cf framework 2 to be installed as well
Both are freeware
http://www.kasuei.com/hitchhiker/
http://www.aspecto-software.com/rw/applications/wififofum/index.html
Sometimes Hitchhiker shows an error on very first start up but ignore it and possible soft reset and should be fine from then on.
Mike
The best WiFi scanner
I found this freeware on 8525software.com. Its called WiFiFoFum. I think this is what you're looking for. http://www.8525software.com/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,27/func,select/id,4/
WiFiFoFum is best
I've a collection of 18 wifi programs, i've tried all of them.
Hitchhiker is good, not invasive like WiFi Companion.
To capture Packets, Airscanner mobile sniffer is the best, but seems that promiscous mode doesn't work on hermes.

Even under wm5 it has a habit of giving this error at first installation. Worth a soft reset and retry.
Mike
has anybody managed to use Hitchhiker on WM6?
I just installed WM6 and for some reason hitch hiker will start, it will find a network, connect and then error and result in me having to do a soft reset.
this program is amazing and MUCH needed since i need to connect wirelessly anywhere i am.
is there a way to get this to work?
Hi, Im using WiFi Companion, howerver the WiFi signal reception is very weak as it shows only 1-2mbps, btw im connecting at my on LAN .
Anyway to improve reception? Thanks in advance!

Sorry forget to mentioned that i have set the Wlan to "G" on my pocket PC but still no avail.
Hitchhiker on WM6?
Bt: the companion keeps low power on the wlan to save energy, so that's the reason you see only 1-2 mbps, just give more gear on the net and the speed will go higher.
Any news on Hitchhiker or another program with such functionality working well on WM6?? I don't think WFFF do such great job, does it try to connect and resolve net address once discovered a new network?

I don't have news on Hitch and WM6. But WFFF does not assist with the connection. Nice looking radar screen that can give true radar if GPS sotware is in use - other than that if it's something that provides a connection then WFFF is not the one for you. (Curiously a long time ago the developer did have an option to connect but abandoned the option for technical reasons).

Netbox works with WM6
So i installed hitchhiker and ran the app, it started smoothly, found my work wireless network, and connected to it! I was so happy because ive been having issues using wifi anywhere but at home.
So when i went to close the application down ( just hitting the x) it threw an error and froze my PPC.
Is this because i was using Hitchhiker 4.0 Beta on WM6? should i downgrade the program to 0.32?
Or is there any other programs that seek out wifi signals and assist with connecting just as hitchhiker does.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Well as you know some others have had problems with WM6. However some folks had issues with WM5 - though I never have.
You do not say if you tried it again after that first time it crashed on closing? If not try again. Quite often after first installation it may show a memory exception error but it's worth trying again. As you say it is a superb help at obtaining that connection. You should know though that Hitchiker saves it's settings and you may find that you can succesfully connect without the application having once used Hitchiker to make the first connection. Hitchhiker is also good because it allows you to cut and paste long WEP keys - this is not permitted in WM5 native application.
Mike
I tried about 6 times, both with versions 4.0 beta and 0.32.
And now it wont connect to that network? I was surprised on how fast and efficient this program is, it connected to the network without any problems, (aside from crashing afterwards) and now it wont connect at all, and it's not crashing anymore!
I'm using Pro Black 2.0 Is there a more stable version of WM6?
same problem here. program is nice - if work. but work only few minutes, before crash. I tested it only on WM6, not WM5. Till now I did not find any way how to "repair" this problem. Nevermind, I using WiFi occasionally and I have two same AP´s on different places with the same settings (it is more as 300 Km between this places) so I need set only one settings in wifi control panel.
