Wi Fi Threats?

Hi everybody, been surfing the forum now as ive got an MDA Vario, unlocked it etc etc using the threads on board.
I've been trying to get my pc wi fi router to work with my phone, but have had no luck as of yet; however last night i came accross a broadband router which i thought was mine, i only used the connection to try pocket msn and look at googles layout on the phone. After a while i noticed i was not getting a 2mb speed and the signal strength was weak, therefore i noticed im using someone elses broadband.
My question is..
is it possible for the person to see my contact details on my pda .e.g my house address, and my home telephone number which is stored on the pda?

no phone has no network shares,
chances are they are ur next door nieghbour anyway lol
so they know where u live

:? so they wouldnt know any of my details?
well i only picked up a very weak signal

I think that the device does identify you with the first name and last name of whatever is set in the "Owner Information" properties. Can someone confirm? Is there a way to change that?

I would assume that rather than owner details, the PDA's "friendly name" would be used.
All moot as regardless of my best efforts I cannot get the thing to even ping, never mind show up on any networking kit I have. As someone has said they have no shares.
I am pretty paranoid about WLAN stuff as I run several and know how easily most are hacked - however, I am not in any form of panic re my Wizard.
It seems to me that PPC's are designed as a client side only system, which does seem sensible coming to think about it.

the only thing that they could trace is any logs on the router, with your IP and MAC address... i would not worry about it too much. the person is obviously stupid enough to NOT secure there network so i doubt they have the brains to trace you.

Thanks for the info guys

could be a honeynet.......

Odds are good that your neighbor can detect that you have been riding on his nickel. I am generalizing, but if they were bright enough to be watching their router logs and dhcp logs for rogue devices connecting then they would likely have also WEP'd their box.
I agree with VAP that the risk of the neighbor prying into your device over the 802.11 seems pretty small.
The "WM_Glenn" device is my TMO MDA

hey mate, you have another option as well, you can also create a dial-up connection, in the 2nd window(2nd thumbnail by you) usin' the default phone as *99#, Username and Password to be left blank.

How to get PPC online internet when use with bluesoliel v5.0.5?
It's was very easy in v3.2.2.8, just check the option "ACCESS LAN NETWORK", then PPC can use the share connection from PC. unforturnely, v3.2.2.8 seemed not stable and makes my PC reboot frequently...
When upgrade to v5.0.5, that option was not found. And could not get on share internet connection anymore... Anyone can help on this?
Thanks.

Adhoc wifi connection means temporary wifi from your laptop or desktop PC which is wifi enabled.
In this connection you dont need to have a wifi router. Just make an Adhoc connection from your PC and connect phone with it. Share your PCs USB dongle internet connection to phone.
Thats it.

[SOLUTION-FIX] Wifi is connected, but no internet connection!

Hi!
I saw that a lot of people have trouble with secured wifi/router! Wifi is connected,full signal,but when u go on internet,internet connection is very slow,or it says "that there's no internet connection" . I found one easy solution:
1. Go to router page (mine is: 192.168.2.1)
2. Enter Username / Password (Default: user/user or. admin/1234 ...)
3. Go to wireless security settings and tick WPA(TKIP) or WPA2(AES+TKIP) --> MIXED option in my router settings .
4. Ok
5. Router will restart.
6. Forgot old wifi network and connect to new one.
7. Enjoy!
My wifi is now faster too!

I have tested it,for works like a charm. It loads google home page and google store in 1-2 seconds,before I change settings it loads in 10 seconds or It didn't load!
I found solution,because on new iPhone 5 was same problem with wifi like on our x8:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh7RbtqLMzM&feature=player_embedded

I can confirm, this works

Oh bro, what an idea. I never thought it could be solved like that...even mine's google loads in about 10 seconds... and i thought browsing on the X8 would be always the last option...
Thanks for the useful post :good:
I'll try it ASAP

Really? Does it work?

Yes

Well i have a 50% similar problem.. On stock my X8 don't even show my router name(Time_Machine) in WiFi settings.
But on GB it shows the network and works perfectly.
I repaired it with Update service.
Any idea where the problem is ?

No difference on ics , maybe cause it's accelerated the hardware
Tnx anyways

I'm going crazy all the day... thanks!! Work perfectly on my x10 mini pro!

Sorry for answering on such old post. Used this solution with my Xperia Z3 (D6603). It connected, but had no internet (also reported it). Set it to mixed, and it works now! Wow, who could have thought such an solution would work...

No Cell Service when using WIFI

So let me explain what I'm trying to do. I am trying to connect to a Barco Clickshare (CSE-200) via wifi using the clickshare app and then open chrome and go to a website.
The Clickshare for those that don't know is a wireless content sharing device for meeting rooms. It's like a wireless access point but with no internet. You connect to it on your phone by connecting to its wifi SSID and password and then use the clickshare app to share content from your phone to a TV or whatever display the clickshare access point is connected to.
So when I connect to the clickshare wifi (which has no internet) I am no longer able to go to a website or use internet. My phone doesn't seem to be able to use my LTE service while the wifi is on. I talked to a guy at Barco and he said thats not normal. My LTE service should still be usable. My coworker who has the iPhone 6 is able to connect to the clickshare wifi and still use the internet on his phone from his LTE service.
I should note I am using the MSL/dun trick for hotspot.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Enable developer mode by tapping the build number in the about menu a bunch of times, then go to the new developer options menu at the bottom of the settings screen and turn on the keep mobile data turned on setting.
It's still possible that in the routing table on the phone the cellular data will be associated with a higher cost, and therefore the data still won't go over it even though it's enabled, bit worth a try.

I did what you said pitcherj, but no luck. I do now have the LTE icon at the top above the cell bars which before I didn't, but still no internet. Anything else I could try? I did restart the phone as well.

Nope, no thoughts. Without root you can't recost the network interfaces AFAIK. Maybe someone else has an idea.
