BT WiFi App for Linux

I use a Linux laptop in central London, I'm surrounded by BT WiFi hotspots but can rarely stay connected for more than 5 minutes. Repeated login is tedious and the landing page always usurps the web page being used when the connection drops.
I think I need a linux equivilant to the android BT WiFi app. Does such a thing exist or can anyone recommend an alternative?
Cheers all,
P

Hello,
Sounds like too many connections fighting for too small a space..
Try changing MTU from automatic to something like 7891
Might help a little. Or scan the available networks and choose the one with the strongest signal..
Cheers..

BT WiFi app for Blackberry 10

Does anyone know if there are any plans to develop a BT WiFi app for Blackberry 10?

probably same as before until it becomes more popular but windows and blackberry smartpones are only 10% of the market.
however there is no real need to the btwifi app as you can connect to BTWIFI just by scanning with blackberry and when you find a signal then just login. not like the smarttalk app where you actually need the app

Tcpview type app for linux?

hi there weren't that many great apps for windows that i haven't been able to find a substitute for in linux, apart from a small windows program called tcpview. basically it gave you a list of all your tcp connections, very much like netactview, but with one added function. you could click on a connection and choose to disconnect it. does anyone know of any such app for linux or something that may be in the AUR in particular? i'm not having much luck

Can't disconnect but you can view:
# lsof -i
or
# netstat -nlpt

Do I need BOTH Skype and Skype WIFI apps for my iphone?

it was stated, the difference is with skype wifi, you can use your credit you bought on skype to pay for wifi access in hotels, etc.
therefore you don't need skype wifi if you have infetnet or free wifi.
what is so hard to understand?

That's how I understood the answer. Using the 'normal' Skype app you can use 3G or WiFi (depending on my settings). If WiFi access needs to be paid for (on a train, through a hotel, etc.), it often comes in minimum 1 hour blocks, in which case Skype WiFi allows you to access WiFi just for the duration of the Skype call, providing you have sufficient Skype credit.There are two reasons why you might want to do this: (a) even though you might have your phone service set to 'Roaming', calls in or out might not work (happens to me all the time in the Middle East); and (b) you only pay for your actual call time. Whether that represents overall value for money depends on Skype call rates versus the 1-hour charge from the train, hotel, etc., so that element is worth checking.As to 'most WiFI hotspots being free', that may be true for much of urban Europe and the US, but it's not true for large parts of the rest of the world.

Oracle App for Linux desktop

When will Oracle have an application available for the Linux desktop? The current apps require JInitiator which is Windows only.

You might want to post this as a topic in the Linux discussion forum: Generic Linux

Air 1.5 update breaks Air apps for Linux

The beta version of Air worked fine, but after updating to
Air 1.5, apps will no longer run or install. The installer says the
air files are damaged. I've tried uninstalling everything &
reinstalling. I don't suppose the beta version is still available?
Using current Ubuntu (8.10).

Hey.. Turns out I wasn't completely removing everything that
needed to be removed in order to install AIR 1.5 properly. Check
out the steps here.. It should work for you

BT Wifi App keeps asking for details

Hi all,
I've been having trouble with the BT Wifi app for the last couple of days. I keep getting the screen shown below. I keep re-entering my details and getting stuck in a loop of seeing this screen. I am able to sign into a hotspot via the web and then the app works OK but, of course, the app is supposed to do the signing in for me. I've moved to app to phone storage to try and eliminate any permissions problem but it still doesn't work. Has anyone else had this problem and how can I resolve it? I have also tweeted @BT Care for help.

IPhone BT Wifi App - automatic login query

Hi,
I have the BT Wifi iPhone app and it connects quite successfully to my home network and hotspots.
The only issue I have is that the app does not connect automatically, rather I have to open the app and let it do it's thing!
The strange thing is that I have the BT Wifi app for Android on both my Samsung phone and Nexus 7, and this app does connect automatically in the background. I don't have to open the app; as soon as a hotspot is available the Android app connects without opening the app.
Is there a reason that the Android app connects automatically and the iPhone app doesn't?
Thanks

As far as I can remember there used to be settings to allow the iphone to connect automatically or not depending on your choice.
It has has been removed on the Android version, I don't have an iphone to hand to be able to check if they are still on the iPhone version. If you go into the App settings it may be that they are still on the iphone app and you need to tick the box to connect automatically.

Is there a way to print from ipad 4 to a non AirPrint printer? I have a Canon Pixma MP 620 wifi which works fine with my PC but I don't want to buy a new printer. Is there an app for this or adaptors which could work? thank, Ric

Printopia is another option but be aware that since these solutions effectively act as a print server and AirPrint receiver, they require a computer to be running on the same WiFi network.
Canon also has a couple of apps in the App Store that might facilitate this on non-AirPrint printers. Check out...

Sun ONE App Server 7.0 for Linux - When?

Hi
the page about the Platform Edition
http://wwws.sun.com/software/products/appsrvr_pe/home_appsrvr_pe.html
states that Sun ONE App Server supports (Redhat) Linux.
When will there be a download available for Linux?
Regards
Steen

Hi Ralf,
As of today, the official production release downloads fo App Server 7 are available on http://www.sun.com.
The Standard Edition for Development and Evaluation includes an option to download the App Server 7 product combined with Sun ONE Studio 4, Enterprise Edition for Java Update 1.
You can also download the Studio 4 separately and hook it into App Server 7 very easily. See the tutorial included in App Server 7 (<install_dir>/docs/studio-tutorial/) for details.
Thanks,
Chris

I'm on Vacation with no access to my Mac. But had tried Sync. My software update is iOS 6.0.1. I've tried another WiFi network. I read your comment of deleting Apps for stuck update. So removed all Apps! Can't even install Free Apps. Now using my Kindle

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Trying to recover a wifi password for an app that I down loaded

I am trying to access a wifi account for my go pro 3 camera that I downloaded an app for, and it is asking me for a password. Once I enter the password (that I think is right) it comes up with "Unable to join the network".

If you are attempting to have your device join with a wi/fi network. The wi/fi router will require a password that will be available to you once you have contacted the internet connection server that provided the wi/fi router appliance. Please contact your wireless internet service provider and ask them if they are able to reset the password to your wi/fi router if you've forgotten the password.
Good luck.
