Hidden SSID's question... - HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know it's not supported now, but does anyone know if it will be in the future.
Just got the phone and loving it, except for the not being able to add wireless profiles.

hope so, also manual dns settings

It doesn't sound very positive, I've read several MS blogs where they claim they are doing this for "our" safety and that nobody should be using hidden SSID's.
I can't tell you how many enterprise companies hide their wireless networks. I hope MS gets their head out of their A**

Hidden WiFi App on the Marketplace..
Hidden Wifi app in the market place:
I got it installed, but there is an error as you can see below:
The problem with the app I am having is that it tells me:
This application requires the latest Wi-Fi software. Please update your phone to the latest system software.
I am currently on No-do, so I don't know what else to do.

yes i have nodo

This is strange I see it happening with other people.
I went and removed my wireless connection, I thought my phone could be stuck on WiFi configuration, reconnected again, and its still working, no idea why its happening with you guys, my HD7 is unbranded, maybe this is the reason.
Also I thought of posting my Phone info, I've been seeing different versions with other people, maybe there is a different version between mine and yours.
BTW I have NoDo installed from Zune, and I didn't get the HTC update.
My Phone Info:
OS Version: 7.0.7390.0
Firmware revision number: 2250.09.16901.401
Hardware revision number: 0002
Radio software version: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U

You have newer Firmware and Radio software than me and I have Nodo installed:
Yours :
Firmware revision number: 2250.09.16901.401
Radio software version: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
Mine:
Firmware revision number: 2250.09.12001.531
Radio software version: 5.51.09.11a_22.31.50.09U
So this might be a big part of the problem.

I'm having the same problem where it tells me I need to update my wi-fi software but I'm using a HD7 with NoDo, very frustrating.

Cannot find the app in marketplace, is it only released in USA?

[Q] Rooting a South Africa Dream - Main version is Older problem

Model Number: HTC Dream
Firmware Version: 1.1
Baseband Version: 62.41s.20.13U_2.22.16.19
Kernal Version: [email protected] #19
Build number: 1.58.421.1 PLAT-1.0_gms-144337 CL#20538 release keys
I've followed the details on making a gold card (thanks Viper) and used HxD to write the goldcard to my SD card.
When i boot up the phone, it recognises the DREAIMG.NBH (RC7) file, but says "Main version is older!" update failed.
I've searched the forums(&google) for this and its come up a few times, but i can't see any solution.
Apologies if it is somewhere obvious and i'm simply missing it
moved to right section
Yup, when i use the 1 click root app, the back up fails and the flash option is greyed out... bear in mind the phone is stock and not even rooted yet...
P.S. Thanks Pilot & apols... couldnt find my post either! :S

Communication Failed

When I check for software update, I always get "Communication Failed" Unable to communicate with the AT&T Server - tried numerous times to update the date/flash stock, etc..
How does this get resolved?
Firmware Version
2.1-update1
Baseband Version
I897UCJF6
Kernel Version
2.6.29
[email protected]#2
i have this same exact problem. no one seems to know how to fix this either on the other forums.
I talked to AT&T tech support today and they want me to contact the PRM department or something like that - they handle the device management side of AT&T..
I'm running Cognition 2.1 now.. I just hope that when Froyo comes out I'll actually be able to download it without having to do a hacked version of the firmware.

[Q] G1 not registering on any network

Hi,
I have a G1 which I bought in US and got it unlocked by T-Mobile before I moved to India. All functionalities of the phone works fine, except it is not registering on any network. It is able to find all the available networks, but it is not registering. I know that the sim card is fine as the same sim card works on a different phone that I have.
When I try to select the network using "Select automatically" option or by selecting my home network on found network list, I get the message "Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later."
Could you please help me in getting this issue resolved. The following are the details of my phone:
Model Number: HTC Dream
Android version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: 2.22.23.02
Kernel version: 2.6.35.9-cyanogenmod
Mod version: CyanogenMod-6.1.0-DS
Build number: FRG83
I see the following status:
My phone number: unknown
Network: unknown
Service state: Out of service
Roaming: Not roaming
Mobile network state: Disconnected
I have also attached the results of logcat -b radio > radio.txt with this thread.
This phone was working fine in India with stock android V1.6. The issue started only after I started to root it by downgrading to V1.5. May be I am not correct with this finding.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ram.
Did you find a solution to that problem? I have the same problem except I was still on 1.6 when my G1 stopped working.

My data connection drops randomly and the only fix is to reboot the phone. Only happened since updating to Mango. My sister's Omnia is doing the same. Someone else on the board here is having the same issue too.

Massively annoying
Mine is working fine with a forced Mango on all fronts but my FW is different to yours, it is 2424.11.8.5. All other details are same as yours. I saw somewhere where you can download and install the very latest drivers , may be an idea to try that.

Hmm, i've always had FW revisions starting with 0222.
7.0.7004.0 - 0222.10.9.12
7.0.7390.0 - 0222.10.10.6

SAMSUNG UPDATE - 0222.11.2.2
7.10.7720.68 - 0222.11.8.5
I guess it's just a thing with my carrier as i've never forced anything....
Me too. Cellular data has sometimes been dropping since i bought my phone. I think it is not a firmware problem. According to me it is only because of our Telephone operators

I agree... in the UK it only seems to be happening on Orange
I haven't noticed that issue on vodafone-it omnia 7..for example. With that operator Internet seems to be even faster than with my operator. It is not a "huge issue" so i don't care about that a lot. However i think this kind of issue happens only using 3G+ connection, because while using EDGE my connection has never dropped.

Normaly before ZUNE install the update, the make a Backup to restore the pre relase.
If yo unsure, try this backup solution here
[APP] simply 100% BACKUP your phone - to 100% RESTORE over ZUNE
and try this update ......
finished, rebooted, then downloading another update, when rebooted the 1st time remained at least 2 minutes stuck at samsung omnia7 boot logo, if you are scared go have a walk in other rooms of your house, do your bed, clean up the mess, it worked for me
Uploaded with ImageShack.us

very confused over this update practice
I have ever thought a un-braded ROM are the better choice ....
My Omnia 7 is a t-mobile "light" branded device. before come the officially MANGO i have it flash it with a un-branded ROM. But it had a older firmware + no InternetSharing.
so i have few weeks ago my device flash with the t-mobile ROM. I`M now pleased with it and happy over the InternetSharing function ...
I have few WiFi only (tablet) devices and wouldn be without this great future .......
yes the T-mobile ROM KH2 posted on mobiletechworld will persuade Zune to upgrade it to
radio 242.11.9.1
firm 242.11.9.4
bootloader 5.9.3.0
internet sharing & compass works perfectly now !
I had issues with the Data connection on Orange UK , but used the Samsung app "network profiles" to switch from T-mob de and it's all good.
I think the reason that the non-branded ones are lacking is, that not all carriers want internet sharing enabled.. so the generic one doesn't get it.. also I suppose the cost of testing it has to be paid by someone.. T mobile in this case

hi , i have the same relase as you, but i have no good working compass
which compass you use?
cheers, miro
my version with diagnosis now:
PDA: I8700XXKI2
Phone: I8700XXKI1
CSC: I8700ITVKI2
and btw if you really need internet sharing you could enable it using diagnosis on a unbranded phone
just follow this guide on mobiletechworld and keep in mind you have to revert to zune sync when you want to use zune again
thanks
Just recieved these updates too, no Interner Sharing either.
In fact I see no difference other than build numbers?
Ex UK T-Mobile Omnia 7
Sim Unlocked
Un-Branded

I am wondering why my phone version is ki1 and not ki2 could someone enlighten me, please?
Hmm well, my Omnia 7 differs from all of yours.
Seems like you are struck without Internet Sharing and on Mango 7720.
Ever though about flashing the firmware to a newer version? Or using a ROM from another carrier?
Mine is a Omnia 7 with T-Mobile Germany Branding and I had received Internet Sharing together with Mango 15 days ago.
I even received a few hours ago another new update, which changed the OS version to Mango 7.10.7740.16.
I already announced it on forums here (screenshot and version numbers there):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1349495
the thread title is "omnia7 no brand no logo firmware update" how did u understand your t-mobile germany omnia7 is different from ours???
thank you for the completely off topic post, we are able to read the forum I think
I successfully set up connection from my laptop with my unbranded omnia7 and found a little error on mobiletechworld guide using it
so here's step by step for my case: samsung gt-i8700 and wind ITA carrier with windows7 home premium x64
phone version:
PDA: I8700XXKI2
PHONE: I8700XXKI1
CSC: I8700ITVKI2
1:dial ##634# and press call to enable diagnosis menu
2: in diagnosis menu dial*#7284# and select the middle option: Modem, Tethered Call, and reboot phone as asked
3: Download and install http://www.multiupload.com/GH391NDSY1 and don't mind the Verizon branding on install wizard
4: connect the phone with usb cable to the laptop and wait for driver install, and check in device manager; you should see Samsung mobile modem
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
you could also double click and go in properties --> diagnostics --> and press query modem to se if replies correctly
5: now go to http://www.2shared.com/file/_Ty7WFZ7/WINDEasyConnect_20100111.html and download wind easy connect and install; be sure to not select any drivers during installation
6:wind easy connect then will detect the omnia7 and asks if he should use it, say yes and voilà, you can now use the auto-configurable dialer to connect with omnia7 and surf happily
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
be sure to check if you have a data plan that permits the use of cell phone as a modem(i asked call center) i'm not responsible if you don't check and have then to pay a lot of phone bill
and remember that omnia7 is not officially supported by wind ita

Just received the update. Developer unlocked, unbranded Omnia 7. No internet tethering :-?? I don't see any improvements either.
i noticed that battery now lasts longer, and phone seems smoother and quicker, not bad!!
