Anyone know how to save WiFi AP profiles?

I have had a search on this site but have not found the answer.
I hard reset my phone quite regularly (dont ask why) and unless i do a full backup the WiFi profiles (ie the remembered networks i have connected tooand their WEP keys).
What i want to know is-is there a file that contains this information that i can just copy off the phone? coz my mates network has like a 52 charicter(not that many) key to access, Very annoying when i have to type it in TWICE everytime.
I hope someone can help
Thank you so much for your time in advance

maybe this is the sort of job for Buzz or another guenius

Don't need a genius for that. Just save the appropriate registry branch and then re-import into the registry after the hard reset. You will need a registry editor that supports export/import.

Thanks for your reply, i didn't think that would be so easy, i mean being able to extract the profile that way and import it again and it still remember the WEP key, thats a bit of unsecure!

I would like to know this as well. I have looked everywhere for this and have found no answers.

Have you looked at.....
There's an app called WiFi Profiles...... see this link.
You can configure, save, load and apply different WiFi profiles (i.e. settings) for whatever locations you want.
Have a look, see if does what you want.....

Is there a way to Clip and Paste the WPA key????

I'm wondering is there is trick or a util...anything to allow me to clip and paste the WPA key to wifi setup.
I am soooo $#%#$^@king sick of entering my WPA key and personally I think it is soooo #@%#@[email protected]#$king stupid for MS to not allow pasting of the encryption key on their WM5 machines!!
Sorry for venting a bit....must have been the turkey I had tonight

Yeah, this is indeed a problem. I've made MS aware of the problem right after the release of WM5 and am absolutely sure they'll fix it.

Hope the fix will eventually make it to one of the upcoming ROMs for our phones.

nice one thanks

US Date format on Dopod Rom

After a short search, I found enough info to allow me to edit the registry to get my trin to show the US date format (MM/dd/yy) instead of the Asian format (dd/MM/yy).
I'm sure this is old hat to many of you out there, but for those of you who would like this "fix", here it is (credit to mikechannon for the pieces of the puzzle):
Go to HKLM\nls\overrides
create a string called SSDte
give that string the value MM/dd/yy (or anything else you want from the legend provided here )
Then hold the power button down until you get the message that data may be lost. Tap yes and then long press the power button to restart.
If you don't do it this way, your changes may be lost and you will have to repeat the process.
I hope this helps someone who, like me (a silly American), may have been getting continually confused by things like how I got to the 28th month on 28/2/07!!!

WOW. I even saw that when I was looking for the answer - I just must have looked right over it! <Red face of embarrasment> Well at least it got me some more reg editing experience!
I'll see you all later when I post some more pointless info.

There is one thing I'd like a reg hack for... and that's to change the word 'mobile' in contacts to 'cell'.
Actually, make that two things, the keyboard is the wrong format or something, the enter key and backslash keys need fixin' -- but I guess it won't be a quick reg hack either.

Problem with WiFi

If I press wlan button in Comm Manager than WiFi should be ON but it is not. I did use some different roms but still nothing. Somebody know what to do ?
settings-connections-wireless lan - there is only message:
Wireless LAN is OFF.Turn on Wireless LAN.
It does not work. Please help me.

Go back to wm5. If your lucky it might come back. The more I dig through here the more I see people with wifi problems after flashing. You might be out of luck
HOWEVER
I noticed under WM6 the bubble that pops up when you click on the wifi tower ALWAYS says 'turn on wifi'
Good luck!

Same problem with my WI-FI, Not working please help!!!!
Hi All. I am facing the same problem with my WI-FI as Vomithaus is having. Whenever I try to to connect to WIFI from Commmanager, it tries to and then to show disconnected. When i go to settings> Wireless LAN, it asks me to "Configure Network Adaptors", and lists all the adaptors and going into them asks about the ip settings and stuff like that. By the Way I Bricked my phone once and then i flashed with T-Mobile Ship WM6.0 RUU for the WING. And I strongly suspect that the registry setting are not right or the Radio ROM is F***ed up. Can any knowledgeable person help me please? I would greatly appreciated any help.

Same problem with my WI-FI, Not working please help!!!!
This is the addeneum to the last post. The last remaining screenshot for the above post. The last screen shot of the "Wi-Fi Status" in the "Settings > Connection", gives me an option to "Turn on Wi-Fi" but toggeling it results in nothing. Thank You everybody for your time and consideration.

It might help us to figure out how this happened too. I bought the EXEC off of ebay and it was like this from the get go. The previous owner flashed it to wm6 about 1 month ago, but said it was working fine... all he did was hard reset to get rid of the personal information. I want to believe him, but there are a few people on here complaining of flashing the exec and losing wifi. (even the official rom from O2).
Flashing COULD have damaged the transmitter, but it seems more likely that a setting is wrong somewhere (especially since there is a slider bar for WIFI battery vs performance).
This is good news (somewhat), but the bad news is that if there is one, no one knows about it. I have messed around in the registry (there were some promising entries related to POWER), but nothing that even showed a response. I found the entry that connects to the slider bar, but PERFORMANCE = zero, so there is nowhere to go there but WORSE.
This really sucks, is all I can say. I blew $500 on something that is useless (well... not useless, but no WIFI? WHY COULD IT HAVE NOT BEEN BLUETOOTH!)
Another step I have taken is contacting PPC Tech's via email and asking them if they have any idea how to repair it, and how much $$$
I'll keep you informed.
Can you tell me if yours EVER worked, and if so, when it stopped?

I just looked closer at your screenshots.... Do you have a WIFI card? (it say's 'adapter').

No, I dont have a WIFI card but this is way how windows handles all is peripherals (services), as an add-on card. just like you laptop.

Guys, There is a registry fix for this problem.
Please take look here :

Ron

I am afraid Ron that this is not a case as suggested in Beowulf6's solution. If it is the solution I dont know how to exactly implement it. But I am posting here the exact registry key screenshot for you guys to take a look also. I can't see and TNETWLN1 or TNET12345 key here in my device. I still think it has to something with the registry. Can any one here with a T-Mobile WING verify and post their screen shot? or maybe send me a registry backup to compare with? It would be really grateful it some does that. Thanks everybody for a few seconds to read this.

In my herald i can't see TNETWLN1 or TNETWLN12345 too.
I did use Mobile Registry Editor for that , what you guys are useing?
(sorry for my English, if you dont understand me just tell me please)

Look at the screenshots, there a Reg Folder with the name WLAN, open it, and then open the key with all the numbers and letters. At the end of that line is a code. TNETWLAN1 is what it should be for the Herald.

It is like Bio88 says.
You are already on the right track... click on WLAN and you will find the key.
Change the value of the key into TNETWLAN1
Done

Hi Please look at my screen shot again clearly. I did post what is inside the WLAN folder. There are only two keys :
1) (Default) \Windows\ctlpnl.exe
2) CmdLine cplmain17
I still can't figure where is the key with numbers and letters. Sorry If I am a bit dumb or wrong. Thanks.

it is possible if you use the default Commanager that you dont have this registry key.
I dont know if it helps if you create it on your own.
but for me where i installed a different commanager, the Key was there and i edited it for the wlan button.

My Tmo Wing has "TIACXWLN1" in that registry key.
Do those changes apply to the herald and the Wing interchangeably?

Ctrl-Alt-Del on tablet

I'm currently using my Shift as a tablet along with the finger print reader to populate my password at logon.
Our domain policy insists that Ctrl-Alt-Del is pressed to allow password entry. Although the main logon screen says use the "Windows Security button" (in substitute to pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del) I cannot find out where this mysterious button is.
Any ideas anyone? - HTC Support 2nd line support haven't!

This is no problem.

I second that!

Work around \ Solution
I received a call from HTC 2nd line support on this.
There is no complete solution to this as there is NO Windows Security button. If you domain policy states that CTRL+ALT+DEL is requied before logon then you'll have to use a keyboard.
This aside, there may be a chance that your domain policy does not require this one way or another. If the policy is NOT set then you need only go to the Local Security Policies (in Administrative Tools) and disable the policy that requires you to use CTRL+ALT+DEL. Fortunately this works for me.
As for the guy who had a solution but won't share it - this forum works on people sharing information, if you're not prepared to do that then I suggest you lurk elsewhere.

I don't know if you looked at the keyboard, but you can find all the keys there.
I also have my Shift in a domain and I'm also required to press ctrl + alt + delete
This is absolutely no problem. Off course you have to use the keyboard en no there is no windows security button (As far as I know)

I replied because of the ctrl + alt + del keys.. I don't know anything about the Windows Security button.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
