BTFON / Openzone WiFi Hotspot Locations

Hi,
I'm often out and about with just my car keys and laptop for company. Having discovered BTFon it's nice to get on the net..... BUT......
I need an internet connection to find where my nearest hotspot is !!! Is there any software I can load on my laptop to show me the locations? I believe there's an app for the iPhone, but I don't have an iPhone.
For instance, a map showing the positions of the hotspots when I last was on the net.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Using Openzone - wifi hotspots

Hi,
I can use my Touch on my home network and other people's networks flawlessly - Internet, iTunes etc. etc.
However, I have a subscription to BT Openzone. I can connect to Openzone from the splash page, and it accepts user name and password, giving a message saying 'connected to Openzone'.
However, when I then try to use the internet, it just loads up an Openzone page telling me how long i've been on line for. I can't visit any other sites, or use iTunes, MyTube etc. I have tried opening a new window but get the same screen no matter where I try to navigate to.
Any suggestions for how to get around this would be really appreciated

I recently brought this issue up on the BT Openzone forums.
It looks like it is a country wide iPod Touch / BT Openzone issue on the Touch.
This could be a BIG oversight by Apple and needs to be fixed IMMEDIATELY as BT Openzone is in the top 3 Wifi hotspots providers.
Surely, it was tested in the UK by someone somewhere with all the major hotspot providers.
The thread for the issue can be found at the BT forums: http://www.beta.bt.com/bta/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=514

When will MAC O/S be supported on MiFi (Fivespot) device to access the Verizon wifi hotspots?

I just got the Fivespot for Broadband internet access for my laptop. I've had it about a week, and tried the dedicated network access from home, and an internet cafe using both the USB connection, and the wifi connection. Both work fine, and speeds are very acceptable.
When I tried accessing the Verizon Wifi Hotspots--I realized they are not available on a MacBook, since you can only access the VZ wifi hotspots using the VZ Manager app. After I read the manual, realized that I could only access the VZ wifi Hotspots from Windows O/S. Good thing my MacBook has a dual OS boot (I never go into Windows anymore unless I absolutely have to--like in this case). As a side note, I had to install and setup the FiveSpot again in Windows--let me just say--even though I didn't encounter any issues--the process went much smoother using the MAC O/S.
Anyway, got VZ Manager up and running on Windows, followed the instructions to update the Verizon Wifi Hotspot locations, and then connected to the wifi location that I was in, which was a local Barnes & Noble. Please note that all Barnes & Noble, and Starbucks offer free public wifi through 'attwifi'. Thinking that the Verizon wifi hotspot would provide a faster connection speed and performance, I decided to try it. Well, the response was dismal and poor--I tried to download a 22MB file, and the connection speed showed a paltry 7 KB/minute; in the public library, I usually get a speed of 100KB/minute, and the attwifi public access usually results in 50KB/minute downloads.
Disappointed in the so-called Verizon wifi hotspots speeds.
Does anyone know when this will be accessible via the Mac OS?
Thanks!

Ironically, turning Airplane Mode on disables streaming, but still shows your entire library when shuffling. However, the unavailable songs skip, like they should. But could still be tapped to download, if there were service. I wish there was a way to separate playback from having music available for download.

Free Verizon WiFi HotSpots Now On-Line

It looks like Verizon has turned on the ability to register for access to free Verizon WiFi HotSpots.
Verizon Wi-Fi for High Speed Internet Verizon Wi-Fi* is a free service that enables qualified Verizon High Speed Internet subscribers to access the internet at thousands of public places known as Wi-Fi hotspots. This wireless service is not intended to be used from your home, but to be used while on-the-go.
Here is the URL:
http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/HighSpeed/Networking/SetUp/WiFi/124611.htm?LOBCode=C&PromoT...
It requires a 20MB Download or better FIOS Plan or 3MB or better DSL Plan
Verizon Wi-Fi is available with select High Speed Internet packages and in designated locations only. The service requires Windows Vista or Windows XP 32-bit with Service Pack 3. Verizon Wi-Fi is not available on Macintosh, Windows XP 64-bit, or Windows 7 operating systems.

Totally agree...I was excited that Verizon was finally allowing free Wifi access for premium high speed subscribers (something AT$T offered over a year ago) but this was short lived after finding out that my netbook running Linux (Ubuntu) was not on the list of operating systems (an extremley short list) I assume this will change and they want to get to all of their primary OS users out of the way first. Disappointing to say the least. There are alot of your subscribers that are looking for alternatives to the infamous "Windows" especially on their mobile devices. I hope they will provide these users with options as well.

BT Openzone wifi . . . works maybe 50% of the time...

I can access a BT Openzone wifi on my Nokia Lumia phone from home, always with a strong signal (probably my own hub) but I can only connect through the App 50% of the time. Today it doesn't want to connect . . . . . tomorrow it probably will. Why is this?

Do you mean when you are away from home or when at home the App won't connect? If it's when you are away from home it could be that the signal from any hotspot is not strong enough. The BTWifi range is very short.
When at home, your home network should take priority and connect before BTWifi.
You don't need to se the App to connect.

Verizon wifi hotspots and android devices

Are the Verizon wifi hotspots available for use with use with anything but the extremely limited options verizon supports with its silly "wifi connect" tool. If that is the case - it would seem that this preticular feature is about is about as useful as a gallstone.

We hav a Galaxy Tablet 3G LTE and we love it. But the past couple of months, it's 3G Mobile Hotspot is AWFUL. We cannot connect to the Hotspot consistently. We constantly have to turn it off and on (or disable from the laptop or Ipod) and try again.
We even sent the Tablet back to Verizon and received another one. The problem is the same, so I know it's the Tablet. I borrowed my Parent's JetPack and we had incredible internet. So, I know it's not our Location or our Laptop or Ipod!!
Yes, we have called Support countless times. They have us check a different option or they think they have fixed it on 'their end', but to no avail. HELP, we are so frustrated.
You might want to post about this issue at the Verizon Wireless forum instead: https://community.verizonwireless.com/
My advice for that though would be to double check your tablet to make sure the firmware is up to date. While it's apparently now illegal to unlock your device, if the device is already unlocked you may want to consider changing the ROM on it if you're so inclined. Sometimes the manufacturers's run of the mill OS has weird bugs like that.

PopUp window at public wifi hotspots?

If I connect to a public wifi hotspot I get a popup window where the landing page from the operator is shown (captive portal). How can this be managed? Because the window is closed after the login there is no chance to get the session window for logout etc. from the service provider.
Thanks.

I run a number of wifi hotspots, all of which use a captive portal "Splash Page" that is branded per location.
Since the iOS6 update I have been swamped with guests and customers complaining about this www.apple.com "success" page popping up instead of the intended customers login and terms acceptance page. When cancelling it drops the wifi router connection and there is no way to connect to the intended free wifi hotspot.
The problem is in Apple's update, there currently is no way to disable this unwanted feature.
The solution is to go to your Settings>General>Cellular>Cellular Data and turn it OFF when you are at the hotspot location.
Now when you choose the hotspot's SSID and join it......you will get the sign in page from the captive portal and not the "success" page.
Be sure and turn the Cellular Data back on.....when you leave the hotspot.
Apple needs to fix this WISPr function, I am only a small provider and I am sure that worldwide there are going to be hundreds of thousands of iphone, ipad and laptop users who will no longer be able to sign on at wifi hotspots, work, universities, hospitals and hotels.
As a side note: I have an older 4S phone with iOS6 and I cannot join.....my wife has a newer 4S phone with iOS6 installed and even though both our phones are set exactly the same......she can connect without turning off her cellular data and I cannot. Curious?

WIFI Hotspot is awful

Why is my WiFi hotspot so horrible. I can access websites fine from my phone. When connecting my laptop using hotspot, it all goes to crap. It can't find the page or it takes forever to load. Now, it can't even locate a network. It is so frustrating especially since I pay so much for the service.

Download to your laptop the following application
inSSIDer 3.1.2.1 Download - TechSpot
Fire it up and take a look at what networks show up and note what channels they are using. They should all be on either channel 1, 6 or 11. If your hotspot isn't turned on turn it on and see where it shows up. If you see another network on top (or worse yet overlapping) with yours then we need to change the channel number configured on your hotspot to a different channel. You'll need to go to hotspot configuration advance options and choose a different channel number (either 1,6,11 work best otherwise you'll likely be overlapping two networks). If your machine has a 5Ghz network card and your phone supports it you can also choose 5Ghz instead of 2.4Ghz. Your likelihood of conflicting with 5Ghz is much slimmer because it is much rarer but both phone and laptop need to have it. Hopefully this is the problem, it is the most common and most likely issue if your phone works fine. You could go to speedtest.net and run a speedtest both on the phone and laptop and compare your results but they should be pretty much the same if all is working properly.

BSOD DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Nexus 4 Wifi Hotspot

Hi,
My system is a T430s 2352CTO running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
I am currently experiencing a consistent BSOD with error "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" not very long after I wirelessly connect to my WiFi Hotspot from my Google Nexus 4 (LG E960) device. It almost happens immediately after I open a browser whether it may be FireFox or IE, with extremely slow browsing speeds.
I have already uninstalled the old drivers to my Wireless Networking Intel Centrino N-2200 card, and installed the newest drivers from Intel's website. I have also made sure I have all updates from Windows and the Thinkpad update utility.
Using BlueScreenViewer, I pulled the following:

This appears to be an issue going on with the Intel Driver, I found this thread over on the Microsoft forums that may be helpful to look at. Currently, it is confirmed that rolling back to the previous driver resolves this issue; although the thread linked is discussing a different Intel Card than yours, the driver support appears to be the same. Driver version 14.2.1.3, is referenced as a working driver. You can even go into SWTools -> Drivers to see if you can locate the base driver there. I hope this helps.
Thank you for the answer.
I have the same BSOD issue with the Thinkpad W520 (with an Intel N6300 Wifi Card) and the Nexus 4 Hotspot.
I cannot find Driver version 14.2.1.3 on the Intel site:

Is Skype WiFi hotspot list on map view out yet?

I was looking for WiFi's location list, and I found that on the pricing list of Skype WiFi page there are given the names of the hotspot providers.
But I don't think that only name can help you to locate the place.
What I was looking for is map view of hotspot location..
I read somewhere that work was in progress on it.
So is it progressed till now or shall we have to wait further?

@Neil: Thanks for sharing, but what is really - in the case you describe - the point of using Skype Credit instead of just paying normally for the pay hotspot that WiFI Finder has brought you to? Is it much cheaper, easier etc.? If not I'lll spare myself for the inconvenience of transfering money to my Skype account (and thereby paying in advance) - and just use the pay and free hotspots that WiFi will locate for me. Regards,Anders

WiFi Hotspot - have you tried it?

I tried using my Droid X as a WiFi Hotspot this weekend at my son's house. Previously I had a feature phone and frequently used it to provide Internet access for my laptop with no difficulty. The WiFi hotspot was another matter entirely. At first it stayed connected for a long time - probably over an hour. Then it just shut off and I had to click on the application to get it to start the hotspot again. The time it would stay up got shorter and shorter until I got to the point where I could only load one page before it would drop. At times it reported that the service was unavailable. This was at the same time that a MiFi and Verizon USB modem both worked flawlessly.
Signal conditions probably couldn't be better. I could look out the window and see the Verizon antenna and the phone reported 3G/4 bars at all time. This is out in the country so the cell towers probably operate at a higher power than where they are spaced closer in the city.
I spoke with a Verizon tech and she suggested pulling the battery while the phone was on to force a full restart of the OS. That took me from a page at a time to about 20 minutes of uptime. (Interesting - the Droid X hotspot commercial just came on TV. ) This morning I just gave up as the link dropped repeatedly in the middle of downloading a batch of podcasts.
The performance of the WiFi Hotspot is a huge disappointment and bordering on unusable at times, even in locations with a superior signal.
I'm curious if anyone else has used the hotspot feature and if so, how did your experience compare.
thanks,
hank

I looked at using btrfs as it is one of the few file systems in linux with built-in compressed read/write support, but find its compression implementation too poorly executed to use at the moment...
When I do a df on my root partition when mounted with reiser4 (which I use chose to use after trying btrfs) I get:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 463M 393M 71M 85% /
Which is fine, and when I start using more space the amount of available slowly decreases to 0 (at which point you can run into kernel oops type issues :-s ) which is faily logical...
But when trying to do the same with btrfs I get:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/loop0 490M 322M 169M 66% /mnt
which looks really good (ie heaps better compression performance etc), however when I try and put more files on the btrfs filesystem I get out of space errors after copying on only another 20mb and df reports:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/loop0 490M 328M 163M 67% /mnt
implying there's a whole pile of space there to use even though there's not... Which is difficult to deal with... (read as crap to deal with :-p )
I can also fit a little over 100mb (of randomly installed packages) more on the partition with reieser4 than with btrfs which is a big bonus imo (or big negative of btrfs)....
Their compression setup seems quite flawed to my eye, and compression is something very important to my choice of filesystem...
So in my experience btrfs isn't as yet polished enough to fulfil its potential (just for what I use it for though, I know btrfs is designed to do a whole pile of things reiser4 isn't)...

Problem connecting to public wifi hotspot using ibook and airport

Hi
I have a brand new iBook G4, replacing an iBook G3. At home I use it to connect wirelessly or wired with my Netgear router. No problems.
Yesterday I tried to access a public, unsecured wifi hotspot in a local cafe. There were two other people there using the net, both using iBooks (high Mac density, it seems!).
Whatever I did, I simply couldn't connect. First, using the same Location I use at home (defined to only use Airport), I could see the named network, but when I selected it I got the 'could not connect' dialog. Retried, no luck.
I then created a new location, configured that to use Airport. Same problem.
I then created a new network name, and tried again. No luck. Using this last option, it actually asked me for a WEP password, even though the network was, in fact, unsecured, and the other users had not been asked this.
I do use WEP protection at home.
Any ideas?? I'd like to be mobile and networked, so I'd really like to fix this!

I presume that the iBook G3 worked fine at the location previously?
Some 802.11b access points require a firmware upgrade before 802.11g (Extreme) clients can connect.
Though 802.11g is backward compatible with 802.11b some older access points were developed before 802.11g and therefore are not in a position to allow the 802.11g clients to connect.
Note that you can attempt to persuade an Airport Extreme client to operate in 802.11b mode.
Hold down the control key [ctrl] when selecting the network from the menu.

hi airtet,
Seing that you have an both the Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter and the Belkin USB Wireless Adaptor, have you tried disabling one or the other and run Connectify?

How can i use "phone relay" on a iPad mini over iPhone created wifi hotspot?

How can i use "phone relay" on a iPad mini over iPhone created wifi hotspot?
It works nicely over home wifi, but for example, i am sitting in my car, phone is in my pocket and I'm using the iPad, call comes in and i don't want to start digging for my phone.
Is there any way?
devices:
iPad mini cellular (no SIM card at the moment)
iPhone 5S
Thanks!

well yes, but it basically makes wifi for the other devices, it basically mimics wifi.
as i get from your answer, it is not possible?
it would be common sense to make it work this way also. directly from device to device. no bounce between WiFi router
Then again, common sense is not that common these days...

How to set up wifi hotspot connectivity

I have an old laptop that was upgraded from XP to Vista Business. It runs OK but is very slow. I have Fios wireless at home and it connects fine, but the In-house Agent won't run properly (blank pages for the Internet & Phone sections...Chat tech was unhelpful). My question is: how can I set up the hotspot connectivity without having to use the worse-than-useless In-house agent?

the link I gave is for a windows machine
Droid has it's own app, and boingo is what Verizon uses - so you can safely download boingo and then when it asks for your login, you put your VZ log in info.
you DO have to create a seperate WIFI log in though, So you should go to www.verizon.net/
Hover over my verizon and then select VIEW all from the my services menu > then select internet on the left hand side menu > then select manage under the verizon wifi section.
Manage gives you two options
Find Wifi Hotspots
WiFI how to demos
Select Wifi how to demos and then click and follow the registration link
when you get there, it wants you to sign in, you sign in with your main account, and then you go through the Wi-fi registration steps to make a Verizon WIFI username
these are going to be seperate usernames, one used for your account and online access, you already have this one
and the next is one specifically for wifi hotspot access, you are creating this one (if you haven't already done so)
