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

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!
According to the big Wizard thread on HoFo, the lack of BT as an option in Modem Link is MS design intent, but instructions for adding BT to Modem Link are in the i-mate document ‘Guidelines for using i-mate K-JAM as a Bluetooth Modem.PDF.
Does anyone have this doc, or does anyone know how to turn the K-Jam into a BT modem?
Thanks in advance...
Dox.
The document your talking about is here:
http://www.clubimate.com/support/KJ...r_using_i-mate_K-JAM_as_a_Bluetooth_Modem.pdf
but I haven't been able to get it working with my K-JAM and laptop using the MS Bluetooth stack. I keep getting the "error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem". I've followed all the setups successfully but cannot connect. I can even query the modem from the laptop ?! Help anyone ?
Doh! Thanks firas... I was expecting some reg hack to enable it in modem-link, but all the doc says is 'use the DUN profile in the MS BT stack... I should have guessed... :$
I tried it, paired the wizard with my iPAQ 4700, set it as the BT modem and bingo logged into Skype (as a test) from the 4700 with no problem. 4700 has no GPRS (and wifi turned off), old nokia has no SIM in, so it had to be through the wizard, but the 'G' icon didn't chage to the connected one even though the connection worked. I've yet to instal SPB GPRS monitor, but will do and see if it logs the traffic.
Can your laptop connect to a regular (Nokia/SE) BT phone's DUN profile?
Dox
Hey Dox, I've finally managed to establish an EDGE connection over bluetooth with my laptop. Just wanted to let you know regarding SPB GPRS Monitor to be careful with it. After I installed it my KJAM's backlight would always be off even after a restart. Only way I could fix it was to hard reset and reinstall everything except for that one. You might wanna check around to see how others have faired with it before installing it yourself.
SPB GPRS Monitor
Hi firas,
Glad you have it working buddy. I gave up on the BT dongle on my laptop (even with widcom drivers instead of the 3com supplied ones) long before I got the Wizards...
Thanks for the heads-up re gprs monitor too. As it happens, I had already installed it on my own Wizard as my Voda 'data' bundle covers gprs,MMS and SMS from the same pool, and I wanted to see how many 'SMS' worth of data I was using. I haven't had the backlight problem you mentioned, but will be wary.
When I installed it from the O2 companion CD, it installed okay, but (I guess because of the Active rubbish) there's no Today plugin with that version. I turn the titlebar icon off, as its implementation is clumsy, and used the today plugin to monitor, and as access to the reports. Might try an SPB update over the top...
Anyway, reconnected from my 4700 surfed for a bit fine, and still no sign of the Today 'G' icon showing connected and no traffic in GPRS Monitor. Guess it's back to my old registered version on the iPaq end of the link...
Thanys again for the tips and warnings firas...
Catcha later
Dox
Glad to be of any help Dox. I've also had the same problem with the G icon not changing colors to show that it's connected when using the GPRS (EDGE) connection on the KJAM from my laptop (although I can surf the Internet just fine). So I guess we can just add that to the ever growing list of bugs in the KJAM (or WM5) :x
Hi Firas, I want to ask you. Is your service provider MTC or Wataniya? and what about the downloading speed using dun profile is it slow or fast?
Hi ysq2002. I'm currently using Wataniya and I'm getting download speeds between 128 - 170 Kbps ( 16 - 21 KBps) using DUN on my KJAM which is great for Kuwait. I've tested it in Kuwait City, Surra (not south Surra), Sulaibikhat (Maternity Hospital) and even Kabd (Chabd) and have gotten the above mentioned speeds. I used to have MTC for several years and I tested my MTC phone line beside my Wataniya phone line recently in Chabd and was only getting 20 - 32 Kbps ( 2.5 KBps - 4 KBps ) on my MTC phone !!
Yes firas.Yesterday, I bought kjam. The internet speed was very good using Edge. Much, much better than PDA2k which has no support for edge

Hi Firas,could you please tell me how did you make the KJAM bluetooth to work as a modem and the laptop can connect to it?when i tried to dial from my lapotp,i got error 692 hardware error,can you help?thanks a million.
anyone can help?
To be honest with you I don't know what I did differently that finally got it working. I followed the instructions in the above mentioned PDF at least 10 times and it finally worked ?! Try going to device manager on your computer, uninstall any Bluetooth Modems. Go to the Bluetooth settings and remove any pairing between your laptop and your phone and start all over again. Take it step by step according to Club Imate's document.
Sorry I can't be of anymore help.
EDGE !!
His Firas;
I've read some threads about EDGE in the forums; but i swear i can't get an exact and easy-to-understand meaning of EDGE !!! all what i got is that it's 3 or 4 times faster than GPRS connection !! what is EDGE, plz don't give me high-tech definition ?? and tell me, if you connect to the internet on your wizard using EDGE, how do you know the exact speed (considering that the laptop doesn't exist) ?? thanx in advance buddy ..
EDGE is also known as EGPRS (Enhanced GPRS) and can theoritically reach speeds of 384 kbit/s. It is an upgrade to current GPRS networks and is much faster than regular GPRS which operates at 30–70 kbit/s. So if your mobile telephone company provides EDGE (EGPRS) and your phone supports EDGE it will run at EDGE speeds (usually up to 230 Kbps). If your phone only supports GPRS it will still work with an EGPRS network but will run at a slower speed (usually around 40 - 50 kbps). EDGE is available in some parts of the US, Europe, and Middle East (not sure about Asia). Do not confuse it with UMTS which is a very different technology and is built on different networks and offers even faster speeds.
Here are a few web sites that offer free speed tests:

well, thank you so much, i got the clear idea now and thanx again for the websites
7ayyaak Allaah Glad I could help !
i use it for business and we have a own application that connects the companyserver every 5 minutes to check if there is a new order to work at a customer (filed service).
The HDSPA needs much power so it is annoying that it is a MUST to disconnect manually Before we used a hw6915 - got some other bugs but disconnected itself also after a exchange-sync.
Is it a know bug from the ipaq or WM ? Any idea of a fix?
THX alot.
google 4 wm5 gb-soft-tweak then on device sttings/sys you will find an icon that will let you disconnect gprs at a set time
also you will get more disconnect option
this app is a set of tweak that can be done manualy but i recomend using the app
Thanks this tool is a good solution. So its a ug of the 614c or does it belong to WM ?
Thanks

I haven't seen any wm device with such "interface " (I have seen some devices )
anyway it isn’t the ipaq 614
this tweaks go all the way back to wm2002/3 and are well known
don’t forget that if the timeframe of connecting/disconnecting is to small you will lose more battery establishing connection when you sync
you may also have bugs that may prevent reconnection but will not effect existing connection (you can google for sync problems …)
from what I have tested on my devices the effect of such disconnect on battery life can be neglected
the timeframe between sync is the more effective VAR that can be changed
anyway you got what you want and that is the important part
Btw- from what I have noticed some tweaks are done just because "it can be done"
As 4 your problem if the app that you use have nothing 2 do with activesync (stend alone) then go to start/programs/activesync
Then enter schedule and set it to manual
This will save battery
I had an app called GPRS OFF which worked great , can't seem to find it anymore ..
Hi All,
I have just got an iPAQ 5450 and it all works fine apart from WiFi, the problem is that WiFi only works when it's in the cradle and as soon as I take it out the cradle it stops but it still says WiFi is still on??
If anyone could please help I would be most great full, thankyou very much.
Almoace.
unless you confuse connection icon with wifi being connected icon
it sounds like a hardware issue
Connection
If you are connecting via the cradle, you are connected by "USB" not wifi... even if wifi is "on".
When you want to connect via WiFi you will need to set up a completely different setting with your PC and ActiveSync (if you are using Windows). I have found that you sometimes need to delete all prior network connections with any other device before an iPaq cooperates.
The iPaq 5450 is not a phone and the WiFi was designed as a primary source for connecting, as a result they have excellent WiFi radios. You really should not have a problem connecting, just do a little more research and I think you will be fine.
Thanks for your help guys, on wifi setup I do have different profiles so I'll delete them and start again with a new profile and after going into every part of the iPAQ I have found more connection settings that are, Internet Settings, Work Settings & Work and also there is dialing Locations so by the looks of things I will have to restore the setting to default and start again.
If / When I get it working I will report back here so you know I have it working and for any other ppl that may have the same problem as me.
Thanks again guys I'm very greatfull
Did anybody have successful wireless data connection with DUN on the Athena100 (htc advantage x7500)?
I have WM6 Pro and tried the BT_DUN.cab and the WM6_DUN.cab, but without any result.
Nevertheless this works perfect on f.e. Touch (P3450), but not at all on Athena 100.
I think I have read and tried all what was published about this DUN-problem with WM6 and what causes problem to connect with TomTom Go or others that only use DUN.
Because now, after weeks searching and looking I cannot find any solutiuon, I hope somebody has experience with this problem and can help me.
Thank you.
