I am wondering where the password information is stored for the cingular gprs settings. I am not asking how to enter the settings into the dialogues, rather where in the registrythe password info is stored.
I am aware of the settings located at these two locations...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}]
and
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\My ISP GPRS]
Exporting/importing these restores everything but the username/password info. What I am trying to do is save the settings so I will be able to more quickly restore them after a hard reset, which I do often because I am constantly playing with different roms.
or... is there already a premade cab file that will install the needed settings including cingular's generic username/password?
and for that matter, where is the password stored for activesync? After I import a reg file I have on my phone, I have all the activesync info properly entered except for the password.
I realize these are one time items to have to enter, but it would certainly make system rebuilding go a bit faster...
I hope you managed to get this far into this rather overly verbose essay.
found it.
hell yes:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\CredMan\Creds]
I am cool.
Okay, the question I have then is how did you figure it out, and more importantly, how do you know which key is associated to which connection?
Some crappy registry snapshot program
It is called ssnap, that coupled with a program called idiff, I was able to discover changes made to the registry after doing something (check/uncheck something, enter a setting, etc...)

If anyone knows a better program than these rather primitive monsters, please let me know. I am looking for something similar to installwatch for the PC by Epsilon Squared.
Those settings did not work anyway. That was definately the location where the settings were stored, but they must be coupled with something else. I was able to install and uninstall the username/password by setting/removing those registry entries, but after a hard reset, they did not work anymore.
I wish to know -- where are the WIFI settings held-(I do a lot of tweaking for my HD and sometimes I mess it up, but the guy who knows wifi password of my place, lives in Garkalne, Im in Adazi ( about 10 km difference)--my wifi goes only about 20m )
So I need to backup my wifi settings or atleast the password -- where is the password held -- in registry, windows, anywere --- just name it and how to get there!!??
well access your wireless router with the provided ip address.
i think it may be 192.168.1.1 and you will easily see it around wireless security.

Sorry -- I didnt understand that --- can you give me a step by step
My wifi network is password protected it has two networks 1.- provides internet, password protected.;;;;; 2.- doesnt provide internet, not password protected, Its for those cases when he forgets the password for the 1st network so he can bypass it and go straight to the internet-- I dont know how he does it
Im still learning English
The security information is stored within your WIFI router.
As to how to access and maintain it, it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. I have five different ADSL modem/router in the past few years and all of them has different way of getting into the configuraiton menu. Some needs me to type in 10.1.1.1, the others uses different address. You need to refer to your user manual for your equipment (if you can't find it , make a call to your ISP's support center, and they will definitely be able to tell you).
Once you're in the configuration menu. navigating to the place where the security setting is kept again differ in each case, and again you should read your user manual to find out, or call up your ISP's support centre for help.

It's in Start/setting/connection/WIFI/Advance.
The Main tab lets you change which WIFI network you want to connect to. When you click on change network, you can pick whichever one that shows as available. Once you click on it, if that access points requires Authentication, by clicking the next button you will specify all the details such as network key, etc.
Hope this is what you're looking for.
The power mode tab lets you specify if you want more performance or battery life
----> when I enter the password for the wifi network-- I wish to know where my THD saves the password----the guy who knows wifi password doesnt give it to me so I want to find it on my device---where is it saved on blackstone
Ok i think everyone is confused now.
Please explain in detail what you want to do again.
He doesn't know the wifi password to "his" network because the guy who knows the password won't give it to him.
He's asking if a plaintext version of the password is saved in the Touch HD somewhere for "his" network.
I find it a little sus that he doesn't know the password for "his" own network, or that the person who set it up won't give him the password, so he's trying to find it this way.

Thats right--- btw im 15 years old- so he doesnt trust me the password!!!
So is there a plain text version of the password on THD
i would like to know it too because at school i dont know the password to the internet , it was just typed into the touch HD. thanks
I forgot my Wifi password, and I wish to recover it--- my Touch HD uses the wifi and it has the password, but how to get it from HD
This password is the thing which keeps me from updating my ROM for 2 weeks now!!!!
bump!!!! --- cmon people - someone must know
might seem silly, but why not just log into your router and change the password? then you'll know what it is
I cant -- I dont know my routers password either!!!! I was given wifi password but I lost the note with it!!--- and I cant reset my router cuz the router has some special "data" in it which makes it operate a bit diferently (give privileges and block some unwanted traffic) !!!
So any program, or which is the file on which the wifi password is held - then I could just back that file up!!!!

would not know how to get the password but you can export the settings and the password
use RAPIConfig
(you use it on your PC when your phone is connected with ActiveSync)
edit the rapiconfigin.xml to look like so;
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic-query type="Wi-Fi" recursive="true"/>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
and run the batch, that will export all your WiFi settings to rapiconfigout.xml
which you can convert to a .reg file (or a CAB, etc) and import after any flash
bit of a long shoot, but you can also try something like this, see if anything works through "My Mobiler" or naively on PPC
hope that sets you on the right path
ignore""""
ok ppl - listen i try the method Sir.B suggested,,, but when I open rapiconfigout.xml file -- in the password field it still shows asterisks (*) it cant see my password!!!, someone please help!!!

I have installed it. When I off my Wi-Fi, it will have a G icon with 2 arrows... there is this thing call Background data, should I off it?

Well, background data is required when you want to access market or want to sync your contacts, calendar, and events with google...if you don't need market, you can disable this option...
If you want to, you can create a dummy APN with no server address. Once you connect to it, the mobile internet will stop connecting.
COuld you teach me how to create? I am abit not sure about this.
Go to Settings>Wireless & Network>Mobile Network>Access Point Names>Menu>New APN.
Now type the Name as 'Off' and type the APN as 'dummy' and save it. When you select that APN, your Mobile internet will turn off.
Cheers.
Strange issue led me to coclusion that in wpa_supplicant.conf only firts 200 networks are show in network list in wifi settings.
I am on HTC Sesnation, with new firmware 3.12.XXX android ICS ARHD 6.0.3 with moded kernel to overclock device. All is working quite good. I found strange thing that when I am at home or in my favorite caffe I have to type passwords when ever I shut down phone. So I have to investigate this.
First I found wpa_supplicant.conf location /data/mics/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf , when I pull it to PC it was in plain text:
ctrl_interface=wlan0
update_config=1
device_type=0-00000000-0
network={
ssid="Buxxxr-Test"
psk="zarko123"
priority=12
}
network={
ssid="BxxxBar"
psk="88888888"
priority=13
}
network={
ssid="UNIxx"
psk="unico8448"
priority=758
}
network={
ssid="LUxx"
psk="752512mc"
priority=27
}
...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then I do search for my home network name ... I found it about 10 matching network sets all with same password still my phone is not connecting automatically to my home network. Also with caffe wifi network name.
Since this is started 10 days ago when I changed router at home , and deleted my home network manually from settings BUT ALSO favorite caffe wifi settings[by accident - similar name] on same day.
So what I found out is what ever I do with wpa_supplicant.conf network is not auto connect. I trimmed all but one duplicated items. Checked for duplicated priority settings ... Nothing helps then I noticed few new networks form yesterday in last few rows... I checked and they don't show ether in wifi settings. HM ... I have bunch of networks, my work is relaying on internet and wifi and also I am setting up a lot of wifi networks so i have many of those remembered in phone. So i have around 20 networks saved earlier with router default "TP_Link****" ssid names... I deleted them manually from wpa_supplicant.conf and after pushing to phone - success some of my missing networks are shown, but still missing few. So I removed another not important ssid stings from wpa_supplicant.conf and after push another network is shown in wifi settings. And my phone is automatically connected to my home network
So I count them out. tHERE IS 209 network settings in wpa_supplicant.conf and only first 200 is shown.
So that is my conclusion - MAX 200 networks shown in wifi settings.
Question is is this ROM related, Firmware related, Phone specific or ICS problem. Please investigate and post back results.
Cheers to all.
What is unbelievable, the passwords stored in the file are readable ! So if someone hack or steal your android device, he can get them all...

Interesting conclusion, not sure where the limit is set (possibly the settings app?).
Just to note, yes the passwords and settings are in plain text for wifi but they need elevated access to read them (ie, root).
You can check ... but it is in plain text and i got it over 200
I checked and double checked and it is true...
Can some one else confirm ?
So HTC now gona fix this security issue as we seen in past few days in debate about wifi security issue.

This isn't and HTC issue. I just checked my Asus Transformer and its exactly the same. However, this saved my ass, as my Rezound would not sync my networks like the Transformer did, so now I can just manually sync them by copying this file over to the phone! Thanks!
