Guest famx Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 The commercial version of WiFiRouter (v1.25) has that ability. I've not tried using it on the Omnia yet though. I plan on giving it a shot soon. Where can I get it? Thanks....oh and btw: ....everyone phone gets kind a hot during this wifi internet sharing right?

You can soft reset until it comes back (if you are lucky, this will work eventually), you can try changing the the power saving feature for wifi, or as a last resort, you can do a hard reset. You can still expect to see this problem again though.... Edited December 22, 2008 by bwonish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest krelvinaz Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 BTW... I downloaded the commercial version of WMWiFiRouter 1.25... uninstalled the 0.91 version, installed the 1.25 version and found it did not work. It would connect, show up on the network and my Notebook could establish a connection with it, but the notebook was unable to get out to the internet from that connection. I suspect it has something to do with the interaction between the WMWiFiRouter and the hacked ICS I uninstalled the 1.25 version and reinstalled the 0.91 version and it all works again. The drawback is that the SSID is listed as WMWiFiRouter, and there is no protection or a way to block other users from using it. Still good enough in a pinch, but I would use my WWAN card instead for most purposes which I carry with me all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest somedude Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) when i try to connect with wifirouter, it keeps getting stuck on this step: Connected WLAN is ON! Waiting for ICS... Its stuck on this step and does nothing. Any solution? I need this to work by tomorrow! Its very frustrating because it worked fine a day ago!

Okay, i think the issue is that i cant turn on my wi-fi. If i go to start-settings-connections-wireless manager the wirless option is not even there anymore!! and if i drag the wireless connection widget out and click on wi-fi, nothing happens... anyone know how i can enable wi-fi again?

Guest famx Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 It would nice if we could change the name of this connection and have ability to add some kind of encryption between the phone and the laptop. Anyone around us either on the bus or Starbucks can access our phone connection that's very insecure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dbsimms63 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) Used speedtest.net and got d/l of 650 and u/l of 200 and that was the far site in Presque Isle, ME Used one closer in Corpus Christi, TX I got d/i of 650 and u/l of 305. Is this good from a 3G Verizon phone? Also, how can you tell if you are on the 3G network? Edited December 24, 2008 by dbsimms63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest krelvinaz Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Is there an EV box at the top of the screen? If so, you are on the EVDO network (the 3G network). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest satori777 Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) Ok...This is my first post. Been lurking around this thread for a while though. I too lost my WiFi option and I did a hard reset and got it back. Gonna try the crash cleanup option in WMwifirouter options if it happens again. My phone gets incredibly hot while it's sending a WiFi signal...and my laptop's WiFi card has always been a bit warm during WiFi usage so I figure the same thing is happening inside the phone just in a smaller space with no air circulation so it seems really hot. The phone is under a year warranty so IF it fries I'll just take it back to Verizon and tell them to replace my phone...and it'll work because they like kissing your ass while taking money from your wallet. If I fry the phone once I'm gonna look for other options. As far as securing the network...it's pretty easy. Just go into the wireless manager and on the bottom it's got the menu. Open that and click WiFi options. On the next screen double click YOUR wireless connection (the one coming from the phone). The next screen will have two options, choose work and click next. Now the next screen deals with securing your network. Leave the top portion as OPEN and on the very next option (the one for encryption) choose WEP. Input a WEP key into the space provided (the one that says WEP key). You can get a WEP key here http://www.yellowpipe.com/yis/tools/WEP_key/generator.php I chose a 64 bit key because I'm pretty sure that's all the phone can handle. Write this key down because it's what you'll need to input into your computer to connect with your phone. Click next and next and you're done. Next time you start everything up your comp will see your phone as a secure connection. Enter the written down WEP key upon connecting comp with phone and congradulations, you now have a secure network. I figured this out because of paranoia. My neighboor is a notorious unsecured wireless stealer...but I am too...so I guess we're even ;-) Has anyone had any luck with a program like PDAnet???

Guest Craig T. Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 If I just do the ICS steps and skip the wmwifirouter steps, will I be able to connect using USB? Or is the wifi required? I strictly want to connect over USB if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
