WiFi Made Easy

I just found out about this sweet little app and am posting the info before we’ve tested it on all the compatible devices. But it seems to work great on both N95 and N95 8GB, so I’m sharing it right away.

Devicescape.com works like a charm for all my “personal” WiFis APs … I setup the APs on the devicescape website and configured all my N95 Internet apps (Podcasting, Browser, etc.) to use the “Devicescape” access point by default. Whenever an app needs a connection, it auto-magically connects to the currently available WiFi - no fiddling around with settings anymore, no “Always ask”needed. Very neat ;)

Apparently it also works with commercial WiFis that require a login, but I haven’t tried that, yet.

How do you do it?
1. Install the Devicescape application (http://www.devicescape.com) on the N95

2. Create an account on the devicescape website and add all the WiFis that you want to use to your profile (incl. WEP/WPA key settings, etc.)

3. Setup the Podcasting application to use the “Devicescape” access point by default

4. Now every time Podcasting needs a Internet connection it will automatically connect to the currently available WiFi network, without you having to change the settings or selecting the access point manually. This works for manual or automatic downloads.

This is especially helpful for Podcasts which have links to their website from their RSS to view/add comments or when a text enclosure requires the user to connect to a browser to view.

5. Of course, the “Devicescape” access point is available for all applications in the phone (Nokia Music Store, Browser, Maps, eMail, VoIP,, etc.)

P.S.
I just got a comment asking if anyone is moderating this site.
I get notified of every comment as its posted and often will send a personal email if there is a specific question. (as well as delete SPAM. You know who you are!) But since the scope of this blog isnt as a support site, there are some comments which are just forwarded to the development teams to evaluate the feedback for future development or bug fixes.

Just wanted to let you know that Big Brother is still watching, even if we dont always have something new to post.
