Favorite Qh and Wi-Fi

Hello All,

This maybe old news but maybe some good news and I will believe this when/if it happens.

I spoke with techician (Moto Support) yesterday and he told me the following about Wi-Fi:

All Qh's have Wi-Fi chipset installed but are currently dormant.
Firmware update to enable it is in the works and will be deployed AT ANYTIME NOW!

He said "You will receive a text message stating that a firmare update is available. Accept the update and that's it".

Fingers Crossed !!

i was reading how an HTC model mobile has an update that will unlock gps in that model, it was there all along but just inactive.

i was chatting with a friend about wifi on the q9h, if it's there and unactive, and low and behold this post!!!

seriously everyone cross their fingers on this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(i feel like a kid at christmas time right now )

i know this is a long shot, but why would there be a wifi section in the registry if the hardware's not there?

I am, like you, hoping for WiFi, but my guess is that WiFi is in the Registry to cover Hardware which has WiFi. WM6 is not built just for the Q 9h. (Just as Windows XP/Vista has Drivers for stuff that my PC will never have.)

yeah, you have a valid point. i am still totally new to wm6 or any other version for that matter.

we don't have wifi now, but the possibility of having it still makes me giddy

I'm with you. WiFi would make the Q 9h closer to perfect, IMO.

Remember the guys that offered at one point to turn on the WiFi chip in the Q9h?

They later said only a very few of the early released Q9h had the ability.

It sounds too good to be true but I guess it's possible. I'm sure most of us have seen the Boy Genius Report video of the Q9h with WM 6.1 and WiFi. It would be great to have that functionality in there and unlocked via an update but I'll believe it when I see it.

GraemeCR touched on this but,

If you look in the registry, There is a WiFi folder.

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel

Unless Moto uses a common registry for all Qh, this folder might be a clue.
