Still no hidden Wifi with Mango Update

[Yankeehobo]

Got the Mango update last night and still cannot connect to hidden wifi.
The + button is missing on the advanced screen under Wifi.
Anyone else seeing this? I have unlocked VP on AT&T.

Although i don't have a DVP, i tried hiding my network and it connected fine so don't think it's Mango problem as the + is present for me in advanced and everything seems fine.

Not sure why you have no + unless it's a little DVP bug.

from what I have read, it's presumed to be a firmware/driver issue with certain devices.

Hopefully not too hard to fix then with a little Zune firmware or driver update .MachoDonut.

How on earth do they miss things like that, you'd think they'd just say OK lets test hidden SSIDS, Check!

Obviously not.

I do have the + button but it still doesn't work. Mango is destined to be an epic fail with incomplete features like this WIFI. No thought was given to how wireless networks are added etc...

It's a Dell issue, not a Mango issue.

Just got a new 8GB Omnia 7, loaded new firmware 7004 on this device, and let it go through all the updates through 7740. Still don't have the ADD button in my wifi settings and am unable to see my hidden wifi. I had the same model except 16GB in December and had no such issues.

I have Dev Unlocked this phone and am able to use Registry Tools and was wondering if anyone has an idea where this setting might be.

Solved (for Samsung)

Apparently Zune did not automatically update the Samsung drivers. Even though I was already at 7740, the procedure outlined at this xda-developers page took care of the issue:
(How-To)update the Samsung drivers on 7720. - xda-developers
Now the "+" appears in the advanced wifi settings.
