I have found a free Wifi Hotspot - Softbank X01HT - Now what?

[new_ppc_user]

Hello all,

Having recently purchased a Softbank X01HT i decided to walk around my area and see what free hotspots are around. Boy there are plenty of unsecured ones!

This is the beginning of my problem.

After discovering them and hooking up to their network, then what?

When i try and open up Internet Explorer to take advantage of this new found freedom, i cant use it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can set up my device to access this feature?

c'mon guys someone must use wifi to access hotspots....

[XtreMe_G]

nope, nobody here uses, wifi on their hermes at all, not a single person. if you had read the manual or even googled, you would have know that the wifi in the hermes is a total fake, every single person here uses their phone data plan.

I think you have pay to use the hotspot, even though they look unsecure, you wont be able to do anything. I think you will need a user account and pwd.

i have already done this but for some reason it tries to log on via my service provider.

try to disable the service provider by removing their settings in "connections", or use NODATA app. from modoco.

Goto Comm Mananger. Then, turn Phone Off & Wireless On, then connect. For some reason, even when my hermes is connected to WLan, it still uses GPRS if not in flight mode, so switch phone off first! I have NO problems connecting to wifi with hermes at all!

Since upgrading to Shaps 4.31 rom the problem seems to have fixed itself.

That is when i do find an unsecured hotspot i can 'log' on and use the internet. its only when i havent got wifi that the phone tries to log on via the service provider.

thats all for your help :)
