Is it technically possible to develop an application which would tether a laptop to the phone using WiFi in ad-hoc mode? This would be extremely useful for when Bluetooth is not an option.
All,
Got my atrix last night and I love it. I rooted it last night succesfully as well and now im on a ski trip with my friends.
Everyone is connected to my hotspot (including myself) and using their laptops as we speak.
The phone is amazing.
does the hotspot works on Adhoc mode(peer to peer) or infrastructure mode( Peer to router)???
via the built in hotspot it recognizes as infrastructure, which is great as my CR-48 would not connect to adhocs. If you use barnacle tether then it will connect as an adhoc network.
Thanks for the info

Hello, am wondering if there are anny possibility for Wireless tether in AP Mode
On the DHD?
The htc hospot app is adhoc right? is so i need Wireless Tether for Root on my DHD to be able to share internet with my tablets? but is there a Wireless Tether for Root that workes with DHD?

Why doesn't the HTC Wi-fi Hotspot app do the job? It makes your DHD into a wireless router by sharing your 3G internet connection via wi-fi. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWYIdr41bAo
I agree with the above post. The hotspot feature is painless.
Now it can only tethering in Ad hoc mode, other android devices cannot connect to ad hoc mode wifi without hack.
Having some trouble, and I think I've got everything right.
I have Adhoc Switch on the Kindle, everything seems configured correctly. Have Wifi Teather, v. 3.1 beta9 on my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. Kindle is rooted with recovery, but stock ROM. Phone is rooted with recovery, but stock Rogers ROM.
I start the Wifi tether application on the Galaxy S2, and then run the Adhoc Switch on my KF to change from infrastructure to ad hoc, I have the identical SSID on both, no security (WEP etc.), and I can see that the KF tries to log into the phone via wifi, but it just keeps saying "Attempting". The phone has wifi turned on of course.
The problem appears to be on the phone side. I'm wondering if the Samsung Galaxy S2 does not support ad hoc connections. If not, I'm not sure what the wi tether application does.
Any thoughts?
I just realized that the Rogers i727R has mobile hotspots enabled on the Wireless Networks menu, so I don't think I need a third party wireless tethering app on the phone.
So I took off Wifi Tether, and just set it up on the Rogers menus, gave it the same name as on the Kindle using Adhoc Switch, put the KF into Ad Hoc mode, turned on the Samsung Galaxy S2 Hotspot, and the Kindle tries to connect, but same issue. Just says "Attempting to connect".
Doesn't make sense. The Rogers phone is a wireless hotspot, and the KF is set up in AdHoc mode. The KF sees the Samsung's hotspot, and tries to connect. No security used on either side, network is open.

Just a shot in the dark, but have you tried not using the KF in AdHoc mode now that you're using your phone's built in hotspot?
don't know about with phone but with hotspot and computer:
hotspot -> i use kf only (infrastructure mode)
thetering to notebook -> i use zt-180 adhoc switcher to switch to adhoc mode and have ssid and wep key set in the options of adhoc switcher
Boy, do I feel stupid. Worked like a charm.
So what is the purpose of Adhoc Switch on the Kindle? Why would you want to be in Adhoc mode?

Some phones only tether in AdHoc mode, which requires you to jump through all the hoops you did above in order to get the KF to connect. Luckily, you aren't one of them.
and on a laptop you can only actively build an adhoc network
I know changing the DNS to 4.2.2.2 and the alternate DNS to 4.2.2.1 helps out connection issues as well sometimes.
