Noob question... How do I install this ad-hoc support onto my X5?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961
Tried doing this myself, it seems like our wpa_supplicant is different from other Android phones. Even using the V0.6.10 wpa_supplicant ad-hoc fix meant that WiFi would not enable.
Rats I really wanted to get that going
How did you install it? Even if it doesn't work I still want to know how
Ideos X5 / Huawei U8800
Disable WiFi
Replace stock WPA_Supplicant
Enable WiFi
Then should work, but it just gets stuck and disables WiFi.
Although, I was watching logcat and it seems it is checking the wrong location for the wpa_supplicant.conf. Although, even placing it there doesn't allow it to correctly function.
Let's just pretend I'm so noob I don't even know how replace stock WPA_Supplicant *cough*

You can enter recovery-mode (holding both volume-buttons and power-button on startup) and connect the phone to a pc, then replace the /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf with the custom file.
Or
Get the custom conf-file to your phone and copy-paste it to /etc/wifi/ with rootexplorer (don't forget to check "mount R/W" in rootexplorer)
Sweet, thanks guys.
Pity you said it doesn't work
I really want to find a way to create/join a network between my phone and my netbook
Creating a hotspot on the phone just seems to share the phones internet, and I can't access the netbook from the phone. Will have to try find another way

Isn't that exactly what he doesn't want to do?
I think he's trying to access the phones files wirelessly similar to Doubletwist Airsync or Kies Air.
Have a look at android sync manager.

Connectify allows you to turn you pc into a wireless ap, It will allow his phone to talk to the rest of his network and internet.
This gets around the need to get android to connect to a ad-hoc wifi.
I've tried connectify, but I can't install it on my version of Windows (Win7 ThinPC, which supports .Net 4 only. I think Connectify is .Net 3.5)
I'm trying to use foobar2000 controller: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cav.foobar2000controller
It makes a connection with http to the laptop
Any way I can change the tread title now that original question is no point cause it doesn't work anyway?

I believe installing a FTP server app on your phone can solve this. I have used SwiFTP from Market and it works like a charm.

There is a market app called aFile (used to be Discover) that works for this very well.

hmmm...
I use the app on a daily basis and it has never once crashed or not worked. Guess I'm just lucky.
aFile/Discover doesn't work all that well anymore. It --used-- to work great, but the developer hasn't seemed to keep up with the OS changes. Combine the developers update plus the "Cupcake" releases, you get problems connecting.
So, here's a couple of suggestions. All of these connect over WiFi.
Probably the easiest is Estrongs File Explorer. It will allow you to connect to Windows shares (Samba shares) from your phone and transfer files in either direction.
Another very simple solution is to run SwiFTP on your phone. It's a simple FTP server for your phone. Then you can use Filezilla (or any FTP program on your computer) to connect to your phone via FTP and transfer files back and forth. Make sure you keep the port as 2121, otherwise it won't work.
My personal favorite is a bit different. I set up a Filezilla server on my home network. It's very simple to set up. Then use AndFTP on your phone to connect to the FTP server you are running on your computer. You can take it one step further and have it installed on your home network. Go to dynsys.org and register there. Follow the instructions (fairly simple). This will give you the added benefit of being able to access your files anywhere in the world as long as the Filezilla server is running on your computer/network and your computer hasn't gone into sleep/hibernate AND you have your router configured correctly.
If you need help with any of this, please contact me. This is a feature that I've desperately needed, and I've looked at many different solutions and can probably help you make the right decision and get it working properly.
An another good FTP client for Windows is Total Commander. In the (unlikely ) case you are not using it already, it is a very good file manager. I almost cannot live without it
Thanks blueheeler for the info.

It may have something to do with the combination of things.
I know "Discover" worked for me, then aFile came out, and it doesn't.
Here's what I'm using:
Vista x64 Ultimate (also tried on Win 7 RC x64)
Belkin router
JF1.51 (also tried with various Dude versions)
Broadcom 4322AG WiFi driver
I did recently switch from 32 bit Windows to 64 bit if that makes a difference.
Tried with:
a) with Vista firewall
b) Vista's firewall disabled + phone in DMZ
c) Vista's firewall disabled + laptop in DMZ
d) Vista firewall off + router firewall off
Hello, and thanks for such a wonderful resource as this site is.
I've had my Sprint touch for over a year and hated all the quirks the stock winmo 6.1 had with it.
My question is: Is it possible to set up a Bluetooth Connection on a windows PC, and have it share the internet connection of the PC with Android? I remember being able to do it with my Zodiac years ago, but don't know if it would apply to Android.
I have no data plan on my phone, so I can't download the camera fix, or any applications. This is the only thing that's keeping me from wiping windows from NAND.
Thank you for reading, and your insight.
Afaik, no.

With Linux, yes, with XP, maybe, with Vista / 7 probably not. But you can't get to the market on your phone via BT pan, I've tried.
May I ask how you managed to do it with Linux? I'm running Ubuntu atm, but I haven't made the switch because of this reason as well. You are still able to browse the web using the browser, yes?

I'm happy to post it, but only some things work. Android executes some kind of connection check before letting you access most things... so, for example, over bt pan I can launch the youtube app, it will load the homepage including the thumbnails, but you can't load the actual videos. Market won't download. Google maps, however, works beautifully. I can't remember whether the browser worked or not.
EDIT: I'll have to post after I get home, it'll be a few hours. Also - I'm sure someone with come brains could make the necessary changes to make the bt connection pass the connection check. But I, sadly, have no brains. Call me the scarecrow.
Edit 2 - Ok, I must have had this going on cupcake under the old rootfs setup, because I'm having trouble with donut / noroootfs. I'll roll my test phone back tomorrow and get the pan stuff posted.
thanks for the speedy answer, i'm getting Warm Donut right now, and i'll see how it goes

where do you get realvnc from
where can i download realnvc?
is it a freeware??
I too have been trying to figure this out. What I found out is that for remote desktop, you need to have windows vista/7 Professional. Windows Vista Home will not allow you to have your computer controlled from your phone.
Yes its freeware
This is the link to the viewer and server for your PC
http://www.realvnc.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi
Now I must say im using XP, I HAVE VNC'd into vista and win7 PCs using the view on my tp2. However on one machine running Win7 I couldnt get the PC to recognize the server app. As of right now I simply use the wifirouter on my tp2, connect to its network and use the assigned IP to log in. RealVNC also allows WAP logins but I havent messed with it simply because I dont really need to lol.
In any case, here's the .cab for our phone attached.

I believe the reason for this is that the "Home" editions of Vista and 7 don't let you join a domian (that's one of the things M$ wants you to upgrade for), which as I understand it is necessary for a remote desktop connection.

You kidding me? VNC is a mess compared to Remote Desktop.
With RD, you get the closest thing possible to having a full fledged desktop computer on your phone. And it is pretty damn close.
Honestly when I'm at home and my phone is connected to the wifi network, more often than not I prefer to use it as a mere dummy terminal interface to my main computer.
Remote Desktop + any desktop web browser absolutely destroys every mobile browser ever created. Entire web pages load instantly and somehow look exactly like they would on a regular computer! Hell, you even get Flash support (a bit choppy but it's something).
And the Rhodiums screen resolution gives more than enough room for most web pages to render without the need to zoom out.
Remote Desktop even allows you to easily transfer files wirelessly between your phone and computer by mapping a drive on it that links to your phones file system.
The only thing I'd say against it is that it can be difficult to click on small targets even with the stylus.
I do sympathize with users who run a Windows version without the Remote Desktop Service built in. RDP is probably one of the very few good reasons to get Pro or above versions of Windows.

Windows Vista Home edition does not include Windows Remote Desktop therefore quite obviously you cannot connect to your laptop via your phone, gotta get professional or ultimate for that.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/...ther-computer-using-Remote-Desktop-Connection
Read "notes"
but, of course there are hacks to make it work fine lol it is included in service pack 1 but is not "labeled" try this
Steps to Add Remote Desktop to Vista Home Premium:
1. Download termsrv.zip here
2. Extract Termsrv.zip to a temp directory
3. Start “Command Prompt” in Administrator mode (right click Run As Administrator) it in in Start Menu, All Programs, Accessories, just right click on it
4. Run the corresponding batch file for your Vista edition (if you extracted it to your desktop then it will be C:\Users\[enter user name]\Desktop\Premium
5. Allow TCP Port 3389 on Windows Firewall or any other firewall product if needed
6. Done
(just tested on Windows Vista Home Premium and it worked fine)
(dont forget to reboot)

I guess a good place to start would be to try pinging the computer you want to connect to. You can do that with dotFreds Task Manager. You are trying to connect on a LAN correct?

I messed around with this earlier and couldnt get it to work. My pc is running windows 7 ultimate 64bit edition. I'm almost positive I had all the settings correct but I was trying to connect to my pc which was connected wirelessly to the router. Would this not work? If not how would one go abouts doing this without a lan connection? I'd love to get this baby working and am willing to be a guinea pig so that hopefully we can get a procedure together for all others
after trying remote desktop mobile to make it work i just give up!!!
try this go to www.logmein.com make a free account download logmein software to you laptop install the free softwares !
install cab to tp2
use the two files below.
1. Install XDA first, reboot,
2. install IEtoggle, open IEtoggle, switch IE to PIE,
3.start up IE and sign into logmein.
This worked for me. the only thing is not working is the keyboard

I routinely use the RDP client on my phone to connect to my desktop computer over wifi LAN. Although my computer is hardwired to the network.
Are you able to remote desktop to your pc with another computer?
Did you select the "Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop" option in the System Properties:Remote dialog?
Could there be some 3rd party firewall software you are running that might be blocking the RDP port?
Also, I've found that when having network issues especially involving wifi, often reseting your router to its default settings, and if necessary upgrading the firmware can help.
Hey, Is there any Tether apps for winmo that can share mobile network that is not using ad-hoc mode?
I want this because android is not supporting ad-hoc networks.
All you would need to do is configure your network in "Settings\Connections\Connections" unless I've misunderstood your question.

I want to share my phone's internet with an android device.
with every program i have tried it shows up on my computer as a Computer to Computer network. and since android dont support ad-hoc networks it does not even show up on the android device.
You can try this cab, I haven't tested with Anrdroid but I see no reason it wouldn't work.
thanks, but it still wont show on on my android or ipad
Sorry, I thought for sure it would show as a Wifi access point.
Hi guys, I'm still hesitate to root and change the wpa file for wifi ad-hoc, and I think it'll be just even faster if we can use the USB to connect the phone as a modem. I have TP2 windows mobile, does anyone know if that's possible, or any app for that? Thanks.
hmmmmm
Been years since I have used Windows Mobile, but had a similar issue with my Samsung Intercept - the only wifi tethering apps I could find only supported ad_hoc connections.
Finally found a program that supported full infrastructure mode - was a lot easier that way.
A quick search of xda turned up something that might help you out: I used search terms "windows mobile infrastructure" as my terms and found my way here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357152
I think it is commercial software, but there seems to be a demo/trial thing going.
Best of luck - hope you get it working!

I've tried different ways to tether-by-USB an HTC Touch Pro2 (Windows Mobile 6.5) to the Iconia A500 (Android 3.1). I tried both Internet Sharing and PdaNet unsuccessfully on a rooted A500 with a couple different versions of a modified wpa_supplicant file. No joy.
I ended up successfully using the trial version of WMWifiRouter on the TP2 to create a wifi hotspot for the Iconia. (I tried the USB method first on WMWifiRouter, but that didn't work.) I'll purchase the app as soon the trial expires--maybe someone will figure out a way to USB-tether the Iconia to WM 6.5 before then.
