I have been using it and it's perfect. Thumbs up.

thanks i will try

if the file is bigger than 1G, can it be saved in my sd card?

out of curiousity .. if u start downloading files onto your phone - is this still covered under the data flatrate?
because even though they say data flatrate I think there actually is a limit isnt there?

wow torrents on mobile..gotta try

I have actually found that winmobile is practically the only one out there. and have been using it successfully for some time now.
It is not without some hiccups though.
1) some torrents will stop short of the 100% mark. but that is work-round-able. extract the partially finished file to your phone, and copy to your bittorrent client and let it finish it off. (ask if you need more info on this)
2) It chews up your battery power! make sure you have charger ready.
3) Dont use up your data allowance, only do it realistically via wifi. Also many Mobile companies will not be too happy seeing you use bittorrent. (supposedly they can tell due to the port you may be frequenting) but via wifi (home/work/starbucks/airport) it will be fine
3a) Make sure you have your phone settings set up so that wifi still works when screen is turned off.
4) Your phone is prone to crashes after using it for more than 30+ minutes (require soft reset via stylus-in-hole-near-battery).. BUT if you keep Wintorrent working in the back ground but you navigate to your today screen (or other) it is fine (taken me ages to work this one out)
5) If using it with your wifi at home, i haven't been able to find a setup that navigates port forwarding/NAT issues (sure there are ways though).
6) Max file download size is around the 1gb in size, above that you may have issues.
7) Obviously only do legal torrents, there is plenty out there.

well regarding the Port Forwarding..u can access your Router control panel and assign Torrent ports to the LAN IP of Xperia.

how can you set it so you can turn off screen, but it still working in background...?
no. 3a

press the start button
press Today
this will take you to your desktop/today screen

WiFiFoFum - For scanning WIFI areas needed?

Hello,
I have PDA2K (integrated WIFI of course).
I don't have any WIFI at work or home. But I may want to use it
sometimes outdoors in special cafes and internet wifi areas.
I didn't get the chance to use WIFI yet.
From what I undetstand, when WIFI radio is ON, my machine will automatically detect WIFI if areas that have it and I do not even need to do a single thing.
But I came across this program WiFiFoFum. From what I understand
it is a WIFI scanner, so that if I go to urban areas, it can automatically
scan for WIFI zones with public Internet and connect me there.
My question is what's the use if WM2003SE does it automatically already?
I'm looking for an easy and fast solution.
Thanks !

wififofum give you a list of all the AP's near you with there SSID and the SNR (signal strenght in db) and tells you if there encypted etc. the windows one is like XP zero config, it just pops up whenever it finds one and lets you connect to it, with a scanner you are scanning and not connecting,but it may give you the option to connect (perhaps when you find an open AP)
you should check out PocketWinCE, its my fav IMO, also check others like ministumbler but this probly wont work.
scanners (uses legally) are good to walk around your company premises to check for rouge AP's etx, illegally it can be used to find open AP that you could use to access internet email or anything TCP really,
I took a 5 km drive one day..
Windows came up with four different findings for connections..
WiFiFoFum found 24...
That's a 6:1 ratio for WFFF...
And at only a few hundred k.. ..install it and enjoy..

around and about glasgow you find loads and loads of AP's and many are unencrypted and unopened,
check out pocket lan, this goes great with wireless networking, you can map printers, shares, and much much more but i wont go into that as i doubt its gonna be used legally (in most cases)
COOL Thank you all guys for good info.
So what's the verdict for a good program that doesn't require
hours of tweakings and techie games to use ? Something simple
that will get the job done ?
Also are Encryped channels really encrypted? I mean, when surfing from an coffee shop that has WIFI, how can I be sure that my communication is totally encrypted and that no simple software sniffer can get catch all the data? OR maybe even hack my pocket pc ?
I thought about the WiFiFoFum as it's the first one I came accross with, but let's hear your choices for my goals (i.e. probably onle to catch wifi zones on t he streets) + sharing etc... would be nice.. disregard the price of the utility, i'm interested in performance.
Thanks guys!
WiFiFo Fum is the best..
It's simple to use, requires little memory, and can be used to connect to the AP's it finds..
As for encryption..
No, there is no WiFi network in the world that is secure..
The way ethernet is buildt, everyone with a very simple sniffer can download ALL your data stream..
As for security.. With WEP encryption, they will need roughly 4 to 6 GB of data before they can crack it and get any information from the data stream..
Don't be paranoid!
If you wanna check that it works, go stand outside PC world, or McSh1te and get WiFiForUm to do some sniffing.
You are right when you say that it 'should just work' unfortunately, though MS wrote windows mobile so it likely wont! If you dont find any hotspots when you think there should be some try a soft restart (my XDA IIs requires this swapping from work-->home AP, but not for Home-->work AP very odd.
Of course the AP's at PC world/mcsh1te will be btopenzone or thecloud ap's which means that it costs approximately 5 million pounds per hour to use them. But if you can sniff them and get to the appropriate 'give us your c/card page' then you've proven that the device works. Check out the btopenzone/thecloud websites for their login url's.
If they ever start being honest and offering a per MB tarriff at hotspots then I'll start using them.

tha scots knows all!! haha
thanks for all replies.
I downloaded the latest version of the program (0.3.3 i think)
Couldn't understand it or get it to work properly, it seems designed towards network technicians, not some normal pc/pda freak.
several issues:
1) When I go in urban areas, it does show on the Radar many spots, but the machine's own notification of 'Do you want to use xxxx for connecting to internet or work' dialog is interrupting it, and it starts to be a 'concert' of the WiFiFum and the internal network programs making noise.
2) When I did see many spots and tried to connect to some of them in the list screen(Try to tap and hold on the radar screen does ****) , it doesn't do ****. I click on Connect and no other dialog box or anything shows me as connected or something. Very akward program I must say. I also don't see in the list something which says if a spot is private or public (i.e. anonymous internet access allowed). And even not any help file. Seems like no human engineering was made here. I'd rather buy a program and pay nicely if it works rather than getting even a freeware which simply doesn't work.
Any other suggestion for other light programs that can actually work are very welcomed..
thanks again guys.
I think the problem might be between the stylus and the screen..
WiFiFoFum works flawlessly..
And please, forget about using the radar..
It will not work properly until you use TWO wifi cards..
When you see the list, tap and hold any AP to bring up a "Connect" option.
Now, you must remember; WFFF discovers EVERYTHING!
WM2003 only lets you connect to AP's that meets certain demands. (Signal strength is one)
I firmly believe that WFFF is the best software out there, just like NetStumbler is for Win32 environments..
I find it easy to use, and provides all the information I need..
How do you propose that the software can find out if you must pay before using it or not?
I guess this could be solved by connecting, pinging google, disconnecting and marking as "Public"/"Private"...
Though this would slow down the whole process so much, It would not be usable for anything else...
The concert can be disabled by the options panel, or just turning off the sound..
Sadly, we can't disable the WM2003 settings..
Street Hawk tries to connect to google so you know if the connection works.

Watch Downloaded Video on your BA from your PC streamed over WiFi

Ever thought that you could watch downloaded Video on your BA from your PC, streamed over WiFi, well now you can.
Before you start you will need a PDA with a good media player, Wireless network (WiFi), connection between your PDA and a PC, and the ability to set up a network share. The instructions below are for a Blueangel device but I am sure a smart person could adapt them for any other WM6 device.
Using Windows Mobile 6 I have Xplode’s (which includes lots of other guys work) version running at the moment on my Blueangel device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342142 This port of WM6 runs extremely fast on a XDA I have had for years.
I use CorePlayer http://coreplayer.com/ which seems to be the best media player going around, it plays 512x384 (AVI, DIVX) files at 29.97fps off the SD card flawlessly so the ovious next step is to stream them over WiFi. The resolution and format of video I mention is the type of format you will download most quality video off the internet. (Yes I know that my device only has a 320x240 screen, but the point is to play most downloaded video without having to convert it in any way, while within WiFi range!)
I have installed the network sharing capabilities found in cabs.rar, NetPlug.cab http://www.bigmike.it/download/cabs.rar By LGSilva
I then created a share on my home PC, (actually it already existed for my mediagate) and placed the video files downloaded into that sub directory. They are just the straight AVI files downloaded using Azureus http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ , you can use any torrent download program I am sure most of you have one by now.
I then mapped the network drive on my Blueangel to the share on the home PC, this was very easy to do, from the Settings-Connections-Network Plugin.
The rest is childs play, start CorePlayer, Open a file by browsing through Network (as opposed to My Device, or Storage Card).
Here is where my questions start, can people who have some knowledge please reply back with how well this works for them. For me video playback is about 95% Great, it video plays for about a minute then pauses for a few seconds then keeps playing. Obviously I am searching for the holy grail of 100% with pauses or dropped frames, and Super high quality. I suspect the limiting factor is the WiFi network, If I could just find a way to speed it up by 10% it would be perfect. I don’t use any encryption, and I have found that with some video and if I hold my hand still I can play video with no pause (tested over about 15minutes).
Thanks Justin. Oh and PS. If you do use this and it works please donate to Xplode below so we can keep future development of the BA WM6 going, he becoming a rare bread.

What I would like to know is how you manage to start and keep WiFi running on your BA. I have asked numerous times on these boards and no one seems to know what the secret is.
I think it was xplode himself who said that the unit was buggy. Which is a pity as for people over 50, the screen seems to be an ideal size to actually look at and press buttons on.
Personally I havent even been able to load his ROM but when I have had other ROMs working, the WiFi connection was NBG. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and even when it does, it sometimes reports that it isn't running! Even worse, there seems to be no way of scanning for available networks and then choosing the one you want. You seem to have to hope that it decides to connect to yours as opposed to some other.
As for donations, I wouldn't mind donating if people responded to messages and the unit could be got working properly. I would particularly like to try VoIP on this 400 MHz unit to see if it is any better than my 190 MHz Wizard
If you are having problems with Wifi, installing Xplodes ROM, or getting replies to your posts then I would suggest doing a bit more research and searching.
I personally have had a good experience with WiFi on my BA when using 2003SE, Helmi's ROM, and now Xplode's. (lets not focus on the little issue about having to turn it on twice, or soft re-set if that's too hard).
Too set up WiFi do the following Settings-Connections-Network Cards-[Add New...] type in your SID name (the name of your own wireless LAN, if you don't know this then you can't connect) [Next] Choose your Authentication type and Data Encryption type. These settings MUST match your WiFi set up. (Auth-Open and Encrypt-Disabled is a good start but I would not recommend leaving it like that unless you have other forms of security) Hit [Next] then Finish and your done. All you need to do now is turn it on (twice).
Too turn on
Settings-Connections-Comm Manager-[hit the wifi button]
then Settings-Connections-Wireless LAN (Turn on Wireless LAN)
If there are some people out there who have had positive experiences with WiFi under WM6 then please post and let us know, especially if you have tried the video streaming challenge.
I am still trying to work out how to improve the speed by a few percent.
Why make all this effort? Go to http://www.orb.com and sign up. It's free. Then you can stream anything (audio, video, photos, etc) from your desktop to your windows mobile device no matter where you are (on the LAN or outside the house from the internet) No messing around necessary.

Fair question mbial,
There is lots of ways to do this, The obvious one I was expecting to hear was "Why not compress the files" and yes when I do that it works perfectly. It would probably work well using the software you recommend if I compressed the files too, as that would suffer the same bandwidth limitations as my WiFi if not worse. (However I would be concerned with opening up access to all my media to the internet, even if it was fairly secure).
Unfortunately I can't access the site you mentioned as my work has blocked it, so I can't comment on that further.
My Goal was to open up all of the Video content that is currently on my PC hard disk, to be able to be played on my BA. I currently watch this on the PC, or on my LCD TV via a media gate http://www.mediagateusa.com/ I just thought it would be cool to be able to do when the kids and wife are using the TV's I can still watch Video on my BA.
The answer may not even be faster WiFi, it may be new hardware WiFi router, different WiFi configuraton, different Media Player, or settings, maybe its not possible I just wanted to see if anyone else had tried this. It is soooo close to working perfectly its frustrating.
Free888 -
Trust me and check out orb...it transcodes the media on the fly to the appropriate resolution for your device so there's no need to ever compress anything. It performs better, utilizes less bandwidth, and is completely secure. (Not like I work for them, its simply a great free tool.)

Cool, I will give it a go at home over the weekend and let you know how I went.
Thanks.

No, I had never tried these tricks! What I had done was to try to turn on WiFi in Comm Mgr and seen it not turn on. But as soon as I tried your method of turning it on in Settings Connections Wireless LAN, it turned on immediately (using the 5.60.00WWE ROM)
Then I installed an SJPhone VoIP software and hey presto, it seems to work immediately. Trouble routing the sound through the normal ports but I am sure I can work them out. Meanwhile I am trying to use my Wizard headset and trying to work out the delay and echos. As far as both our problems are concerned, cant you increase the speed of this BA by installing Battery Status software and increasing the clock speed? Everyone increases the speed on the Wizard from 190 MHz to somewhere around 225-240 MHz so perhaps if we did this the echos would disappear and the sound would be a bit louder?
This really does seem to be a much more advanced unit than the Wizard: Why are they not more in use? It is larger but thinner than more 'modern' versions

This statement goes with all issues and will never change. It is the same all over the place. Fortunately it only appears to be extremely abused as we see the negative more than the positive.

I am not sure why, but with the 1938 build from PDAViet my wireless works better than ever, since the upgrade from 2003SE. It turns on with one click and even reconnects with no clicks after a soft boot. The only bug left is that if you let the BA turn off it cannot reconnect after you power it back on. You have to turn off wifi and then turn it back on. 2 clicks. I can live with this flaw.
Too set up WiFi do the following Settings-Connections-Network Cards-[Add New...] type in your SID name (the name of your own wireless LAN, if you don't know this then you can't connect)

This couldn't be more opposite of my experiences if you used a mirror. I have NEVER entered my SSID into the BA, and it always finds my access point, and any others in the area I happen to be in at the time. It asks me if I want to connect and if required asks for a key. It literally works flawlessly in this regard.

As for wifi speed improvements, the only thing I have found that may help is adjusting the power mode to best performance.
Anyone know what happened to the Wireless strength meter ???
I've just noticed that the wireless strength meter isn't working in Xplode's 6.00.0000 build ( not that I can say it was worked when I first installed it ). Anyone know what's up with that ? Is there a fix out there ?
My wireless signal strength meter definitely worked when I first installed Xplodes ROM, but after a couple of days it stoped working and has not returned.

I have a few questions.. and problems

I was wondering if anyone has some help for these issues:
1. WiFi is very slow. I have my laptop open and using my wifi. The router is 6 feet away and I have a very fast connection. My X1 is also open next to me and I am using Opera 9.5. Yet the web pages load in about 1/4 the time compared to my lap-top. This situation was the same for Internet Explorer and the pre-installed Opera browser so I am sure this is not an issue of Opera 9.5.
2. I installed Opera 9.5 a couple of days ago. I can use the program reasonably well, however every 30min or so the program will not start correctly. In the Windows Bar I see as URL, but the browser does not start. The only way is to re-install it - so I am now doing this every time I need it.
3. When phoning the screen goes blank. A real pain when I need to use number keys to navigate my voice mail.. How can I tell the phone to keep the screen on? I have changed the setting which blanks the screen after a while to 30mins so this is not the setting..
4. How can I tell the phone to NEVER use GSM for data..? I do not want to pay the high data rate that Vodafone charges. I want to use my WiFi for all data transactions. I know the phone is supposed to use WiFi by default.. but I do not think it always does so. Also, when the WiFi has not been activated it automatically activates GSM data packages (GPRS etc.). In Symbian you can set this.
Many thanks!
Thomas
rendering webpages is not just a matter of internet speed
os cpu and mem are factors too
a thing where your pda will have a hard time keeping up with your laptop
a arm 500Mhz is nowhere near as fast as an old 500Mhz p3
about 4
then
settings-connections-connections-advanced-select network and choose
my network in both dropdownbox's

You're comparing web rendering on a mobile device with a laptop... of course it's slow, not the wifi but the rendering.

I prefer this way, so you can't press any button with your face accidentally.
If you need to input some command, just turn on the phone and you're done.

Search for the app called NoDATA to disable your connections.
Thanks guys for your comments.. I think they are all valid.. however..
1. The slow web site rendering makes sense, however the rendering is in my opinion slower than it should be. On my laptop the speed of loading a web site seems to be limited by my internet connection. When move away from the router the speed slows down and pages load slower. On my cell phone the bottle neck seems to be the rendering of the pages and not the internet connection. It would be curious if there is some way to test if the speed of the processor really is the limiting factor. Is there some way to slow down winXP to the speed of the X1 and see if rendering speed is about the same..?
2. Indeed Opera 9.5 is in Beta so bugs are to be expected. I am just curious if this is a bug that others have seen.
3. Fair comment.. I suspect that ear-lobe navigation will never take off. It should however be my choice and a setting I think? Having to turn the phone on each time meant that I had to do so 25 times last time I check my voice mail.. real slow..
4. Ok. But I want to have data enabled, but only for WiFi.. The phone seems to turn "Data" back on without my consent and then picks either GSM or WiFi for data. I do not have the control to stop GSM being used. If WiFi is not available it defaults to GSM. The comms manager is not powerful enough. Is there another manager I can use?

NoData doesn't touch Wifi. Also the other suggestion about changing the selection in Connections should work (although using Live Messenger on a Vodafone ROM will only work over Vodafones GPRS).
artesea - you are a hero - thanks!
1.
you can try and turn on internet information server and add a local website to test speed diff
you can try to connect the x1 using usb to your computer and see if there is any speed diff compared to wifi
you can also try out the wm emulators for windows (not sure if those also emulate the correct speeds of the wm device though)

Why does my HD2 keep connecting to the internet? (on its own)

Every now and then, I notice that my phone connects to the internet (t-mobile internet). I find this strange because I've disabled everything (i can think of) from automatically updating or connecting (weather, email and msMyPhone). I have an unlimited data plan so I'm not particularly worried about the cost; however, it drains my battery fast. Just yesterday, I tapped the top of the screen to see my notifications and I noticed that t-mobile internet had been connected for over 2 hours. I just can’t figure out the cause. I've even done the auto disconnect registry tweak (auto disconnect after 60 seconds) but still no joy. If anyone can help or even suggest a process monitoring application, I’d be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

I've even done the auto disconnect registry tweak (auto disconnect after 60 seconds) but still no joy. If anyone can help or even suggest a process monitoring application, I’d be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

Did you disable the rest of the services ( HTC location service, stocks, Internet time sync, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube as well ? In my case the Stock were causing unwanted connections before I figured out..

I think stock was the culprit. I removed it from the home tab from day one and as a result couldnt access it's settings. I put it back on and sure enough it was connecting every 30 mins.
Thanks alot mate. I'll report back in a day or two with the results, though I'm pretty certain it was the stock application.
If you want to be able to turn internet off so it cant connect when you dont want it to then just install the attached cab, run the program then you can enable or disable both settings as appropriate.
I also recommend to use NoData.
Just go to settings->wireless control->connection->advance->select network(choose my work connection if you havent rename it yet) If you would like to use hsdpa/edge/gprs again you will have to change it to as it was before.

Got a brand new HD2 and each time I install NoData, I get an error. What should I do to fix this please?
What's the error message you are getting?

Even better, you can use Dial-up Enabler/Disabler: works like nodata but interface is a little better and is more user friendly ;-)

Pls note that with nodata, you disable the internet connection but, if the connection is active while disabling it, you still need to end it manually after exiting nodata.
This sounds weird I know...
With dial-up enabler/dsabler it is a lot easier as you will see two connections: one is the internet connection configured on your phone and the other is the current active connection, and you can disable them at the same time.
In addition it does not have annoying confirmation messages on disabling and exiting

Every now and then, I notice that my phone connects to the internet (t-mobile internet). I find this strange because I've disabled everything (i can think of) from automatically updating or connecting (weather, email and msMyPhone). I have an unlimited data plan so I'm not particularly worried about the cost; however, it drains my battery fast. Just yesterday, I tapped the top of the screen to see my notifications and I noticed that t-mobile internet had been connected for over 2 hours. I just can’t figure out the cause.

how do u do auto disconnection tweak
HD2 connection problem
Connect your HD2 to your computer and transfer the cad file to your mobile.
Find the file on your phone using File Explorer (on the phone).
Double click on it and follow the instructions.
Then go to Start and locate the nodata programme.
Start it and disable what you want.
I disabled the Orange (in my case) internet connection and WAP.
In my case it is crucial that I donet't g automatic access to internet services when I roam because I am on a PAYG tariff.
£20 last me up to three months normally with a different phone (SIC) and since I started using my HD2 my last top up lasted me less than a week.
It's a rip-off!
Once beaten, twice shy...
I won't be caught again!
Hope this helps

Remote Desktop Finally Sorted

Ok so I finally got it going over 3g anyone else managed yet??
anyone no if I can shut-down my pc using Remote Desktop I just get the options to log-of ???
I'm pretty sure you can't shut down normally using remote desktop. You could try setting up a shortcut on the desktop that shuts the pc down, then just double click it when you are done.
(Not sure how you would set that up, but the theory is sound )
Run a DOS prompt (Start, Run, cmd) and type shutdown /? - it will give you a list of shutdown options that can be run either via a DOS prompt, or, as samsamuel suggested, create a shortcut that runs it.
Or just get the task manager up by holding your finger on the task bar
Sorted, cant believe how long it took to get it working from 3g, just sat down today got my head on and bam first time, so i should be able to connect to my pc from someone else's wifi as well right??

Yeah. Via your data connection and via someone else's Wifi just uses your external IP address, so they're exactly the same (just probably cheaper and faster )
Hey sorry for my ignorance but how did you get it to work. i Tried it over my wifi and my 3g both didn't work. port forwardded 3389. I said to allow other computers even running other versions of winwos to access my windows 7 pc through my computer properties. I used my internal IP address over my wifi 192.168.xxx.xxx and i tried my external ip adress was 172.xxx.xx.xxx. and it just won't work hasn't worked sinc ei got the phone. I love the phone but still it bothers me i can't get this to work anyway got any advice?
