ok guys im allocating some nfc tags around the public bar i work at,.
i want to put 2 tags on the main bar that connect customers to our wifi, now i know i can do that with commands however
we are using a broadband system provided by heineken beer company, users connect the wifi network, but then must open theyre browser and click a default webpage that comes up instantly to connect to the network.
so how would i set the tags to
connect to the wifi and then click the "connect to heineken wifi" option on the default page?
Are you sure about NFC with its max range of about 20cm? Either way I would imagine that the WiFi hardware supplied takes care of redirecting the user at login

yes that is the idea, customer walks in touches the bar designated spot and connects to wifi,... we dont want a long distance force connect to every customer lol
the supplied wifi asks for the user to open webbrowser and click "use wifi" before actualy being connected. is there such command to get around this?
im on a secret mission to make our bar android friendly :highfive:
Could this the case?
To restrict wifi access to current customers and to make the connection easier (selecting correct wifi service and keying a strong passphrase) the customer touches the tablet onto the bar mounted NFC device and the network wifi config is beamed to the tablet and the customer elects to process the download and get immediate network access.

But it has a button in the middle of the page saying "free premium wifi" the user must click this button before actually being connected to the net,.

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.

Merry late christmas every1,
i been messin around with the Pebbles software available at:
http://www.pebbles.hcii.cmu.edu/software/userguide.php#pcnetworkconnections
and well, it allows u to virtually control ur desktop from your PPC (i have an 8525).
it allows u to connect serially, via usb, infrared and to a network host thru the options menu here:

its a nice program and works flawlessly thru usb and thru the network host when ur inside ur network i.e. 192.168.1.* and so on.
but ofcourse i have to push the limits and want to connect to my external IP so i can connect via 3g from anywhere, how cool is that..
and the port isnt shown anywhere so i connected via Wifi and ran netstat to notice:
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
------- -------------------- ------------------ ---------------
TCP myComputer:4343 192.168.1.*:1060 ESTABLISHED
i just forwarded both ports in my routers config as so:
i then pluggd my external IP into the network host text box on my 8525, clicked ok and was prompted by the pebbles server software running on my laptop whether or not to allow a connection from my phones 166.135.*.* ip, i ofcourse accepted and got an error from my phone, "Error: Network not available"
i tried like 10 times without making any changes and it connected once and ran perfectly, like i was connected over usb or wifi. i finished testing it out so i closed the connection and since, i havent been able to get it working.
i opened PebblesPC from my taskbar to see:
and noticed like 20 different 166.135.*.* IP connection attempts all from my phone.
wut ive concluded is that while connected to the internet on our phones over 3g, the IP changes so frequently to my device and doesnt hold onto a particular IP long enough for the pebbles software to fully connect and hold a connection like it has when assigned via dhcp to my internal network, but thats just my guess =X
any help is appreciated, suggestions are welcome and if theres any other software that can do the same then thats cool too, but id like to get this particular one working
o and its freeware so thats nice too
Try Logmein. Works flawlessly for me and allows me to access my work PC from home. Even to start it up and shut it down!!
Allows you to start up and shut down applications on the remote PC including printing etc etc.
You need to register but it's free:

appreciate it =)
Also look for my forthcoming roundup of all remote control-related.
will do. definitely lookin forward to it. will u post it here in these forums?

I bought a HTC INC2 from a guy last week. It is unlocked so it works perfectly with my ATT sim and I managed to get 2G running. Then I checked the GPS, Camera and so on, everything looks fine until I wen back to home. Because there is no Wifi network in my work place so I didn't find the wifi seems not working. The phone cannot found any wireless network at all. I am sure I made the ssid is broadcasting. I was thought it probably not happy with my wireless router so I closed all security setting. But the phone still cannot find the open network. So I drove to our library where have public wireless access, still nothing. On my way back, I use my other phone as a hotspot, nothing happened even I put two phone together.
Here is a list of things I did in next couple days, went to a office building which hosted a lot of company. Almost all of these company have some sort of wireless network, my other phone in my right hand can found at least 10 networks while the INC2 which in my left hand can find none. I flashed the ROM to CM7, nothing. update radio, nothing.
Flashed to skyrider, nothing. update radio, nothing...
The guy who sold me the phone said the wifi is working perfectly when he is using it with verizon. He updated to iPhone month before so he didn't notice if the phone stop work with wifi after his update. He seems to me a honest guy.....
Now I want to test if the wifi hardware works. I really want to learn something from this frustrating thing. any idea?
TIA
Probably the wifi is not working. I do not own a HTC INC2 but can flash another radio/modem/wifi driver?
Also there is a hidden menu called Field Test Mode. It may have something about wifi. From wikipedia:
There is a hidden "testing" menu on the device that can be accessed by typing *#*#4636#*#* aka *#*#info#*#* on the phone's keypad. It will bring up 5 categories: Phone Information, Battery Information, Battery History, Usage Statistics, and WiFi information.
Other hidden menus from dial pad: (1) ##debug+call, (2) ##program+call enter six zeros example: 000000, (3) *#*#7262626#*#* - Field test menu, (4) *#*#2432546#*#* aka *#*#checkin#*#* - checks for updates, (5) ##778 (+call for Epst menu), (6) *#*#8255#*#* - Gtalk service, (7) *#*#8351#*#* - voice dialer logging enable, (8) *#*#8350#*#* - voice dialer logging disable

You could try a wifi teathering app check if it transmitting.

Re
check the wifi setting properly if this is not working then i think you should let some phone professional check it
It would seem that the OP resolved their wifi issue months ago.
k.
i installed lightspeed and flex rom both.
at present i more like flex rom because i feel maybe it is more stable and more quick(after start, a little quicker)
both have the following problems:
1.both can't find hidden ssid wifi. i have to show ssid.and i feel the conncetion with wifi is weeker than android 3.2 because away from the same distance, the signal is weaker.
2.in both's email, if you want to show combined view, the email app stops.
3.both can't use facebook and twitter app although i can login in on brower. flex rom can use youtube app and till i un-install lightspeed, it can't.
4.in somes app, such as nfs etc, the backward arrow response slowly, needing waiting the app completes its own process and then you can quit by backward arrow.this arrow response more quick in android
Add Network in Wifi settings to connect to network not broadcasting SSID.

Facebook app from market works just fine on flex roms, I think you need to learn how to clean tablet.
You got to know flashing roms can give corrupted data.
Leftovers from previous rom.
Result conflicts and bad running rom.
I didn't try twitter because I hate it.
I could care less if someone just wiped his a$$ and want to twitter about it.

Actually the problem is a little deeper than that for me. But good advice still.
I can get my Iconia to connect to a hidden network on the first attempt. What I mean by first attempt is that about the only time I can connect is immediately after setting my wifi to not broadcast ssid, then adding the network as you've shown. It connects the first time just fine. But once I roam out of range and come back there is a less than 50/50 chance that my tab will "find" my network again. I just gave up after leaving the house a few times. I don't really care if my ssid is seen anyway. My password's a good, meaningless string of numbers and letters. I doubt that even the neighbors kid can bust through that one...
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.
