JoikuSpot reviewed - Wi-Fi anywhere on the planet

wow, this is seriously killer app and worked first time on my N95-1 and laptop. I've been after an app like this for a long time. I'm awestruck.

Well done and please keep up the work, a very useful tool. I look forward to the updates.

😃

I just installed the premium (paid) 2.00(433) version on my E90 and it works as advertised. Multiple clients can connect and surf simultaneously including an iPhone and my MacBook Pro. After an hour or so of browsing, the battery has gone down two bars and the left side of the inner keyboard is warm (the E90 was closed). I have set the default access point in the settings and turned off GPS. Data speed seems to be at the limit of EDGE.

Hi, i have a query.

Can I restrict someone from using joiku as their wi-fi. My intention is to just run my laptop from this and in a very selfish tone, would not want others using my data!!!!

Can anyone help here?????

hi.
I may sound very naive here but i have a peculiar prob and need to get it resolved before i take the plunge of buying the premium version.

I have a compaq M2201TU laptop which I was connecting to the joiku light that i installed on my nokia n 82 last night.

My laptop identified the wi fi spot of joiku and got connected. (hurray!) but the net did not get connected. Is there any specific setting you need to run the net or was it just the case of slow internet speed? I was on gprs for your info.

Need to know otherwise my $19 will be wasted.

Thanks for the help in advance guys.

Hey ashu,

should be fine with gprs, edge 3G etc. When I tested it the first page you came to with the free verison was the joikuspot page. Theres nothing you needed to change with your net settings unless you were previously connecting via proxy.

Sometimes I did notice it took a while to connect to the net page so perhaps it is that? Also make sure your on an adhoc connection. I didnt have to configure any static IP but I have seen users need to do that elsewhere, mostly with EeePCs

When I originally looked at it it was an unsecured hotspot so no, you couldnt stop anyone else from connecting to it.

check out Mennisys' comments re this and other connections too.

I am using Nokia 5800 and Asus A6F. I can connect to Joiko spot but cant browse using my Laptop..

Who says that anyone can access Joikuspot?

You can add a password for for you Joikuspot so that only you can access it...........

now you can... on original release you couldnt.
