best wifi utility

Hi,
Before switching to the Wizard - I had a Magician with a SanDisk WIFI card. This little card came with the SanDisk wifi utility which was really great since is gave you an overview of all availlable networks - their encryption state, signal strength etc... all in a neat table and very nice to use.
The internal Wifi software that comes with the wizard is really lacking....
Can you guys recommend a really good utility to discover and connect to wifi access points?
I am already using wififofum - which is slow to load, sluggish and not very flexible.
I have seen hitchhiker (http://www.kasuei.com/hitchhiker/)- but read that many users have experienced major bugs and errors with it .
Any other good option - quick, flexible and easy?
Cheers.

I use PocketWinc, works really well for me
Does all what you want.
Ik gebruik dus PocketWinc, en dat doet exact wat jij wilt.
Vind het fijner dan alle andere vanwege wat jij al opnoemde.
Enige nadeel, hij is niet gratis...

[edit] damn F5/refresh XD [/edit]

PocketWinC
it's not free but not expensive.
8 to 9 euro's including updates.

how did you get pocketwinc workin with a wizard?

in my opinion the best id wififofum 2.0 which which now works with WM5, lts you search for networks and see which have WEP enabled and which don't allowing you to have FREE internet access.
I sat in an industrial state the other morning waiting for the garage to open, picked up a linksys router with no security and wahey, I was surfing the net FREE!!!
Plus to double the deal the software is free, haven't got a link, do a search on google, the latest version in the forum.

I'm using it as well. Found several unprotected wireless networks, but I never could log in into the net work. Please could you explain what I have to do?
Thnx

i installed wififofum after you mentioned it, works good. but my problem is the service provider in my area requires a proxy, i installed netfront and put the proxy but still, no luck. it connects to the network but i can't brows the web or use messenger.
(i know this is a different topic but i posted a new topic and no one replied )

Also like Wififofum not 100% sure how useful it will prove in the next few weeks, but i'll soon see
For the proxy - anyone with answers, post in http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37981 to keep answers with questions

an other great application is WiFi companion, but also not free

I have WifiFum and really like it.
Ipdash can also help you

And if you want a good working free utility i can tell you that Hitchhiker from Kasuei.com is working great.
REMARK you need to install .NET Compact Framework 2.0
The link is on their page, but to install you first need to add it to the pocket PC using your PC (do not install yet on your device, but first disconnect the USB cable and kill the activesync on your PDA). Afterwards you can install it on your device (do not install on sd card!)

the wifi connection manager that comes with this device is really starting to annoy me. it tries to connect to ap's that aren't even within range. for example i'll be at starbucks connect to 'tmobile' then go to a friends house and connect to 'linksys' get home and expect it to connect to my home network but when i go to the wireless page it says 'connecting' to tmobile then it will go and try to connect to linksys..... ugh it really pisses me off!!

is there a wifi utility that allows connections of two ppcs? so that they can transfer files between them?i would rather do this than bluetooth

You want to create an "Ad hoc" wireless network between two devices.
I've just started using pocketwinc and it has the ability to start an ad hoc network, once it's created you can just connect to the new network using the other ppc. I'm not sure how to transfer files once you're connected but I expect one of the improved file explorer apps will be able to do it.

I've just purchased PocketWinc and whenever I start it, I get an error:
Unable to locate adapter.
If it was turned off, please turn it on now.

What's going on? My wireless is enabled???

Hmm, I just checked the vendors website and they don't list the Wizard (or any of it's psudonims) as supported hardware.
How are you guys getting it to work?

Wifi Slowes down D-link router

Hello every body.
I just buy a brand new D-link Wi-Fi Router and installed it in my home.
But when I try to connet to wireless thats happen:
First click to some link: Super connection no problem
Second click: Little slow connection but no problem
3th click: Very very slow connection
4th click: no connection (but Wi-Fi is still connected with full connection status), or keep slow working.
When I dissconect and connect again everything goes to start again - fast connection, slower, slower, no connection.
What happen?
I am sure I installed the Wi-Fi correctly, and this model is very very popular.
I have no chance to check with other wi-fi devices.
I read that I need to set registry to working with G router, but where in the registry exactly?
If there any third party programs to connect with wi-fi for smartphones I will try it. If there are any connection setting for router or for phone i will try it.
Thank you.

idk man
i have D-Link Router here
and its so great no probelm with it

Hello.
I already solve the problem - just set power mode for wifi to full performance. Maybe there is some conflict between power saving option in Windows and D-link DI-524...

[probably solved] but [Q] Wifi drops off help!! Seriously!

Hi,
I have an irritating problem. When i'm surfing the internet, watching youtube or using the xda app (even more apps I guess) my phone just doesn't receive internet connection anymore. I have to turn my wifi off and on again to make it work for 5-15 minutes. If I don't use the internet for one hour or two it works normally for 5-15 minutes but then it also drops off. (my wifi is then still on, it has connection but doesn't receive anything). Maby it has to deal with the count of mb's i'm using... This only happens with me at home and since we have a new wifi router. But this only happens with my phone and not with my laptop or wii. So I hope this can be fixed. Do I have to change anything to my phone or to my wifi router?
Tnx in advance

Nobody faced this problem also?

I am having the same problem.Which firmware u using.
I am facing this problem in DDJP2 as well as DDJP4.

I'm using t-mobile's firmware: bojpc.
But I remembered I had the same issue a long time ago with a friend when I was using eclair...

i have the same prob in kirillos 6.1 and i think with every rom ive had from time to time

Maby it has to deal with the security settings of the router... with what kinda password ( wpa, wpa2 etc.) is your router protected?
Mine with: WPA/WPA2 PSK

It must be the router ... Try changing the wireless radio to b/g/n and if its already on b/g/n, try changing it to b/g..
Change the wireless channel of the router as well..

ok back from holiday i tried to fix my wifi router but i can't find b/g/n and wireless radio anywhere in the online settings...

Even in my phone, sometimes WiFi won't turn on. It tries for 5 minutes, the says "Wifi error". I have to again select to get it working.

i have this problem as well...
i'm quite sure, that the router is okay, because my laptop is in the same room and has no problems.
any solutions?

This problem is worse than ever right now! Wifi drops all the time to 5mbp/s i'm getting crazy!!!
Is there any possible way I can solve this without a factory reset? I'm starting to hate my phone...

even i had the same problem in all ROMs.
still couldn't find any solution

I like to warm it up again as I face the same problem with all roms I tryed. Are there no devs here who might be able to help?

Just a question to everyone with this problem: what kinda network are u trying to connect to (for example wpa or wpa2 etc...) And how's your internal memory? (mine is almost full...)

I also have same problems with samsung galaxy 3 on DDJP4. Router works well as laptop doesn't have this problem. i have disabled security, but this problem still persists. any solution???

My problem also started when I got a new ziggo router... I'll try to change the security and stuff when I've time (and I found my password and stuff). But you could try to (wanted to say randomly...) Change some preferences...

I now have ziggo 2 comming from kpn where everything worked perfect

Wifi/Bluetooth Bug?

Hi,
I'm having problems with my internet over wifi. Router can only be found when Bluetooth is turned of!? With Bluetooth on there are only 1-2 routers around found - instead of 10 when Bluetooth is off. This is realy a mess, cause I need Bluetooth for my Sony Smarwatch.
Here (in Germany), some people seem to have the same problem. Does someone know how to fix it? (by the way: everything went fine for a lobg time and all other devices doesn't have any problems with my router).

On which band does your router work? Instead of "Auto", try setting your WiFi band to "2.4GHz" and see if you're able to discover your router.

I have tried that, but it didn't work. In the meantime there are more and more german people having this problem and they all didn't change anything. Could it be that an (german) app-update kill the wifi/bluetooth drivers?

Works flawless here.

You can try to switch to the 5GHz band, maybe it will fix the interference.

[Solved] Wifi: Connected, no internet

Hello,
Since two days my XT1562 (single SIM, EU retail, Marshmallow, unlocked bootloader, rooted) has a problem with the internet connection via wifi.
It is connecting to the router. I can see it listed in the router's web interface, with MAC-address and IP-address. But on the phone itself the wifi status is "Connected, no internet". In the settings the IP-address shows "Not available".
This happens only with the wifi network at home. I tried some other networks (work, neighbours), and they connect normally.
I did not change settings on the phone or on the router. We have two other devices at home (one Android, one iOS), and both have no problems.
So the phone's wifi seems to function normally, the router's wifi seems to function normally. But for some reason the combination stopped working. I tried forgetting the network, and on connecting re-entering the password. But still "Connected, no internet".
What options do I have for diagnosing or solving the problem?
Edit: setting the IP-address on the phone to static instead of DHCP does not solve the problem. Forgetting the network and reset router to factory defaults does not solve the problem.

i have same problem with iphone 5.
i change region of my modem in setting of modem.
to usa OR CHina.
Solved!
Sorry for eng.

In the modem/router (UBEE EVW3210) the country is set to EU. I can not change that.
Today I visited my parents. They have a UBEE EVW3200 modem, from the same provider. Wifi functioned without any problem.
Returned back home: Connected, no internet.

Ubee issue?
Same issue here with Ubee EWV3210 from Ziggo. All Android 5.x devices stopped connecting to internet. Provider says it's not their fault since iphone and android 4.x have no issues. Replaced modem with Cisco modem and now everything is working again. Problem in in android 5.x in combination with Ubee modem and probably it's Ziggo firmware.

This can't be a coincidence, I live 10 km from Veenendaal. Did Ziggo swap the modems?

They dont want to help. I still had an old cisco modem and swapped it today. It fixed the issue. Ziggo doesnt swap modem unless they send a service guy.

Try playing around with the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, both on phone and router.

Probleem is op te lossen door op Mijn Ziggo Wifi Hotspots uit te schakelen.

Volgens Ziggo een half uur geleden opgelost. Even getest, en ja het werkt weer.
Problem was caused by provider (firmware update?), and was solved half an hour ago.
Everyone thanks for their input.
