Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

This is awesome! Thanks for the post.

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

I was just reading about this!!! Scary for wmwifirouter if you ask me wonder how they gonna top this app that's free and so called easier!!! Hmmm?

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

Here. I edited the CAB so that a shortcut was created in the Programs folder. I also changed the company/application name, and default name

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

There's another thread going on about this too. Maybe a Mod can clean this up???
I read through the twenty-some posts at XDA and there isn't a whole lot of feedback. I almost want to dust off my 6700 and see if it'll work on that.

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

has anyone gotten this program to actually connect to their laptop? I can start up the program and have wifi turned on, but for some reason my laptop cannot see it available as a wireless network.

any help is greatly appreciated. thanks

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

It connected fine for me. I used my above CAB with the default settings. I'm running the latest MightROM6 on Sprint

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

thats odd, you think it could be that i am running the stock rom that came with the phone?

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

works pretty well for me but it often flakes out for no reason. it looks to be a little sparse in the feature department. i don't think it can replace wmwifirouter quite yet but it's an interesting app.

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

this is awesome. thanks

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

anyone get this working on the omnia?

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

yeah i did,but i had to input the the network name myself cuz it wouldnt find it

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

Im running this on my phone and its working amazingly using it to connect my laptop to the internet currently. Great piece of software.

Edit for those running this successfully check and see if it over heats your phone mine is currently over heating im running the app while charging and my phone is getting really hot.

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

wow, a few months ago i bought walkinghotspot.... :violent2: DAMNIT! :violent2:

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

thanx EGOvoruhk for doing that i added your cab to my op

this is working like a charm for me i have 2 laptops connected as im typing this, very awesome app especially for free!!

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

you running on your touch pro or omnia

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

on my tp havent tried on the omnia yet, dunno if itll cause issues since this is a htc proprietary app

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

I can confirm the heat issue. Wmwifirouter had issues with this earlier on. The 2 radios being on the whole time and facilitating the network connection probably doesn't help.

--ninja edit

i have a touch pro with energi rom..

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

Overheating will always occur when using your phone for heavy data use like this. It doesn't matter the program

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

This is double the data usage, 2 radio's are operating simultaneously. I run Pandora/Last.FM for hours and I don't experience this type of heat issue. It's only when I run WMWifiRouter or any other application that facilitates network sharing via Wifi.

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

anyone get this to work on a HTC Mogul with the Windows Mobile 6.5 rom? I installed it on mine and it doesnt detect the router

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

Wont get a chance to test it for a bit, but can anyone tell me if it automatically enables wifi (even if the wifi radio was turned off)? WMWifiRouter does that for me and its useful knowing that I dont have to dig through an extra menu just to enable wifi before using this program. Thanks.

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

Very nice. Worked great for me, I just had to make sure my laptop could see ad-hoc networks.

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

yes, it turns the wifi on/off as needed. be forewarned you'll need to delete any existing ad-hoc connections you may have configured, or configured on your behalf by wmwifirouter

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

I still can't get my laptop to find it. Ad-Hoc on and all.

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

EGOvoruhk,

the cab you posted is not working for me. i have tried it on 3 different roms however the original one works fine on all three.

for people that are having issues are you using EGOvoruhk or the original??

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

I don't think it will replace WMwifirouter yet. If you don't want your TP to overheat use nuedynamic clock control and step the CPU down to 328mhz.

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

When I launch the program I get the attached error screen. Do you have any idea how to resolve this?

I have two data connections available.. One is the default Sprint and the other is my work connection. Perhaps this is causing this issue?

Thanks,

Rick

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

You cant have the phone synced when your using this.

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

i hyave tried 3 versions of this on my Mogul using win 6.5 and all of them cant seem to be detected with my laptop

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

I got it to work. After it prompted me the first time I clicked edit on my "sprint" connection.. Did not make any changes, but saved it. Now it properly uses my Sprint connection.

Thanks.

Rick

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

When my screen shuts off my wifi disables, On Wmwifirouter this never happened to me. Is there a fix to keep it sharing with the screen off.

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

Don't count on this working well wmwifirouter had so many hours of development testing and tweaking on it that I doubt htc will invest that much in look at your graphics drivers if you want another example of how htc half asses ****, this will be another htc half ***** mess

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

This isn't exactly a 'wmwifirouter killer' but a different product aimed at a similar market. wmwifirouter does a lot more than JUST wifi sharing. Please consider: http://global.wmwifirouter.com/features/

I like having multiple choices (especially free choices) but to say that this is a 'killer' or 'obsolete' really is unfair as it's not a LIKE for LIKE comparison. They don't have the same feature sets (not even close).

HTC doesn't exactly have the whole Windows Mobile handset market locked either. There is still Samsung, Motorola, Sony, etc.

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

Heh this program overwrote my WMWiFiRouter settings, both wep key and ssid. Now when I run WMWiFiRouter 0.91 I get wifisharing as name and 1234567890 as wep key hehe

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

WMwifirouter is also less likely to tag your data (like the original tethering app) so that the cell companies can charge you for clever usage of your phone's features.

Free is nice though. If its all you need, go for it.

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

which one has longer battery life?

which one continues to charge with use?

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

wmwifirouter would as it has the ability to be ran without the LCD display.

I believe they both would, however if the drain is more/faster than the charge... :drunken:

Re: New HTC WIFI Router software makes WMWifiRouter obsolete
 

They should have similar battery life, but I'd give the nod to WMwifirouter of saving anythig possible.

Neither continues to charge with use, though an HTC provided app is more likely to serve the interest of the cell-carriers than it is the consumer, so future versions may not be so "free" to use.
