Question for those running WMWiFiRouter on Omnia i910 - Page 2

It used to work for me--but not since my last hard reset. It simply refuses to hand out an IP address. Actually, I got it to do that,but I still cannot browse. Its not the computer, because it happens across two machines.

Those of you who are running WMWifiRouter 1.20 or newer and are having issues are welcome in the WMWifiRouter channel on FreeNode: http://java.freenode.net/index.php?channel=wmwifirouter ... we are working on the Omnia issues right now.

I am not there full time nor is the chat screen always on my monitor, but I do generally check in every 15 minutes or so.

I fixed it!

I had to manually remove all of the ICS entries, and files that I could, which then allowed for ICS to be uninstalled from Remove Programs.

Soft reset, reinstalled ICS, soft reset, installed wmwifirouter, soft reset, and I am in business!!

If your having trouble getting the ics software installed that would cause the wifi router not to spit out any internet, if you can try doing a hard reset and then install the ics first, reset, and then install the wmwifrouter 0.91 version specifically since that is the one that i can get working, and the new versions try to do other things im not sure quite why but they dont seem to work well on my omnia, i have tested several, also the 0.91 is much cleaner and easier to use of an interface even if it doesnt have crazy options.

I've been using this since it's beta days. I've never had a problem with it. Infact the day the cc20 was leaked my internet failed and I had to use wifirouter to download the img then I flashed and used wifirouter to keep going. I live out in the country a little and couldn't get any service out here for a while. At one point I was routing 3 machines through my i760.

I'm currently using the last beta .91 I think it is. Every once in a while my phone will start doing weird things and I have to use the crash cleanup and everything is fine.

As has already been mentioned wifirouter required ICShareing. In other words you need to install two programs for this to work.

Some have said there are issues getting it to work in the first place but i have had no such issues just follow the instructions given to first use IntShrUI (connect usb cable) establish internet connection then disconnect reboot phone use WMWiFiRouter and it should work fine. oh and i use .91

I get this same message occasionally. I like the fact that the crash cleanup brings back my Wifi in settings/connections when it up and disappears..LOL. I don't have broadband at my house, live in the boonies, and it allows me to connect my laptop, that and the installed internet sharing that Verizon so nicely removed. It works great, only reason I kept the phone after finding out what Verizon had done to try and sell their usb broadband crap that you have to pay extra for on top of the unlimited data plan, what crooks.

Can you go into detail about how you went about getting ICS uninstalled?

This may be obvious to some on here, but just using the ICS program and a USB cable to your laptop is all you need to tether the laptop. The WMWiFiRouter actually sets up a wifi network to allow say an iPod Touch to connect to the internet.

I have used .91 successfully with a plethora of different ROMs.

I always install ICS .cab first, soft reset, etc, then the WM Wifi .cab, soft reset again (there was a tutorial around one of the forums on it)....

although now, most of the custom ROMs include ICS built in.

The only thing I cannot do is log in to my company's VPN when I am using WM Wifi, I think this was resolved in 1.2, but I like .91, so I haven't "upgraded".

I bit the bullet and bought the WMWifiRouter program. It solved all the problems I was having with the earlier versions and I've used it to connect my laptop and my sisiter's as well. I originally bought the 1.3 version but it has now been updated to 1.5. It is really seamless in connecting and never a problem with the internet.
