Hi!
Did anyone manage to connect to an ad hoc wifi network? Its my understanding that you have to root your phone and edit some files in order to do so. My phone is already rooted. Anyone willing to try it out and give the steps here?
Thanks!
Android 2.1 does not support this.
Yes! I know that! But i think you can edit some files after rooting in order to allow this?
Galaxy S wont find ad hoc AP, how to fix?
Hi, how to configure galaxy to connect to a ad hoc ap? It seems like wont find the ac hoc SSID at all?
Hello,
Ad Hoc Access Points support start with Froyo, if you really need it, give the latest XXJP2 a try
Any luck finding the answer?
Nope! No luck yet! And it seems no one is interested

have you tried modifying those files (wpa_supplicant.conf and others)?
Are you just trying to use your phone as a mobile APN? Because this is built into the galaxy S.

I am trying to use my wired LAN connection on my phone using the Laptop's ad-hoc wifi connection.
I'm reasonably confident that it simply isn't supported in Android 2.1 and that it's totally unrelated to config files (i.e. There's nothing your average user can do about it). I don't know if ad-hoc wireless made it into Froyo but there has definitely been an official feature request filed to Google for ad-hoc functionality.
i also find it very annoying that sgs doesn't support ad-hoc.
You can try to use this software http://www.connectify.me/
sadly it uses windows 7..
Just had a look over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961
Can any dev please patch the SGS version of wpa_supplicant? Pretty please?
Another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755254
really??
i couldn't find it even though i have jp3
The android OS filters out all Ad-hoc networks. There was a patched wpa_supplicant that seems to be working for some. I tried it and it does display the ad-hoc networks but fails when trying to obtain an IP... I am stay playing with it but I will update if I even manage a connection.

[Q] ad hoc in jpc??

is there any trick to connect wi-fi from laptop to galaxy s.
PS: i use vista, so no connectify.
thx
I have just got my hands on an ASUS transformer tablet . Now I thought ok it's wifi only thats fine I can tether it to my little tattoo and use 3g that way.
Problem is I didn't realise that Android doesn't see adhoc networks to connect to them. So I want my wireless tether to work in infrastrusture mode instead of adhoc.
I've been searching and seen this done for other phones but can't seem find a way to do it on the tattoo/click.
Has anyone found a way to do this?
Well there is a wifi tether app on market wich does the job...with that app your tattoo works like AP for 3G network. Also i think that your tattoo must be rooted.

I'm already using it. Version 2.0.7. but it broadcasts in adhoc mode so the tablet won't even see it.
Well i dont know what to say, my laptop work just fine with wifi tether app on my tattoo.
It will do. Mine to because laptops can see adhoc networks.
Or is there a way to enable android native tether instead of using an app. I've read somewhere that works in infrastructure mode.

I have a similar problem too! It seems that nothing but computers can see ad-hoc networks. So, my Kindle, my Xoom, and other smartphones can't access the network through tethering. Is there a way to make wifi work in infrastructure mode?
Nobody else have had such a problem?
Have you tried this setting?
Wireless Tether:
- Install Wireles Tether from market
- Run app
- Press on init "tethering"
- go to "menu" -> "settings"
- Enable "Wifi-Encryption" For safety...
- Change "Passphrase" (13 chars)
- Change SSID if you want
Yes, I tried: that creates a wep-protected ad-hoc network...

Ok, so I am using ZT180 Adhoc Switcher to connect to my Galaxy S II's (Epic 4G Touch) 4G webs via Wireless Tether.
I am able to use facebook, Words with Friends, Google Reader (not perfect), the Market and many other apps' web capabilities without a problem. i.e. Facebook works as it would on a wifi network.
However, many of my apps don't recognize my internet connection even though it is there. So, is there anything I can do to make all of my apps recognize my wireless tether connection or am I stuck using the select few that work?
Search search search search. This tells you how to set up a infrastructure network.

I'm using ZT180 to switch from Infrastructure to Adhoc so I can tether. That part is taken care of. I have internet on my Kindle from my phone.
The problem is that some apps recognize it and some apps don't.
The point is, you don't NEED to use adhoc at all. Setting up the phone as I already explained in the other thread and it will be set up in infrastructure mode, and the Kindle will connect with no issue.

Ahhh, that makes sense. Should have read more into it.
Well I finally got Wireless Tether beta working, but I'm having the same problem where apps such as Dolphin Browser will not work, but Facebook will.
I'm using an Infrastructure connection, but many apps will not recognize it anyway...
Do I need to uninstall the ZT180 switcher in order to remove files from system/etc/wifi??
My wifi icon still has the small 'x' in the right hand corner.
I would try to remove it. I tether to my phone all the time and have no issues with Dolphin or any other apps.

I uninstalled the app and deleted the "tiwlan.ini_ZTO..." that came with it, but I still see the ZT180 Adhoc Switcher and Warning AdHoc_Mode as wireless networks that i can connect to...
Epic Touch 4g has various issues with infrastructure mode. Best answer I can give you is to install a recovery and flash blazer rom. Its Sprint hotspot fully supports 4G infrastructure mode.

Wow, I can't believe I overlooked this. I'm running Blazer 3.2 and previously i had looked in the Wireless and Network settings for the Hotspot settings, but since it was not there I had just assumed PhantomHacker left it out of the build.
long story short - i activated the Sprint Hotspot app that was in my app drawer and it's working flawlessly!
Thanks so much! Surely I won't be charged from Sprint for this? I'll post in the Blazer forum as well.
Sorry for the late reply, but ive been running the hotspot for a whole wig no ill effects

Just got an HTC Rezound and was just wondering if I could tether my Kindle Fire with my phone and use it's 4G connection when I'm not at home or near WIFI? I apologize if this has been covered but I couldn't find any updated threads on this.
If I'm able to can someone please tell me a working tether application that I can use and how to use it properly. I haven't tethered since my OG.
Thanks everyone.
if your phone is able to operate as hotspot then you need nothing at the kf
i'm using zt-180 adhoc switcher from the market to tether with pc (connectify)
this has also been reported to work with phones which only support adhoc mode

Yes, my Rezound has a hotspot app if that is what you mean, its the official Verizon mobile hotspot app? It came preinstalled on the phone. Verizon charges to use the app though.
I was just curious if I could install an app on my phone and kindle fire so my kindle fire could use the 4G from my phone to access the internet, etc.? So if I'm in a car I can just turn my phone on and my KF will have internet. How do I do that with the app your talking about?
If you want to use Mobil hotspots from Verizon that will work but it will cost you monthly to use. If you don't want to spend any lotr than you have to, you will need to root your phone and install Wireless Tether from Google marketplace and you should be fine.

i have no internetz at my house, so im forced to tether. i have am epic 4g and the hacked sprint hotspot works ok, but wifi tether for root users wont show up on my kindle.
does anyone know of any other apps so i can tether my kindle to my phone??
im rooted with market, no recovery or rom yet, but ill flash a rom if it will help this.
i like the stock rom bc of the lockscreens that change every time... i like that.
You need an app called zt-180 ad-hoc switcher. Download it on your fire and follow the on screen instructions

ok im on stock romk plus root, it says im not rooted. the app says that i mean.......do i havr to flash a rom for this to work?
I installed wireless_tether_2_0_7.apk on my Rezound and my Kindle Fire works fine, I didn't have do anything special.
WiFi Tether version 3.1-pre110. It works flawlessly when tethering with my Galaxy Nexus, I don't have to adjust any settings.
i have wifi ver 2.0.7 as well, is there something on my epic i need to do? this is killing me, bc i want to put cm7 on my phone but 4g doesnt work with sprints hotspot but does with wifi for root users. and i have plenty of 4g here so i wanna use it
You shouldn't have to flash a Rom for it to work. You have to leave it named androidtether. Try updating your su binaries

I'm using wireless tether for root users on my 3d to get Internet and it works fine. I did have to change some under the hood stuff to get 4g to work so that might be why my Fire works with it.

Wifi tether will work, you just have to get the settings right. Open the app, hit Menu, then hit the checkboxes next to "Enable MSS clamping" and "Enable Routing-fix". After that you should be good to go.
I have wireless tether for root users ver 2.0.7
I don't see any settings like that in my app... what app are you talking about?
Maybe someone post a fresh wifi tether for root users 2.0.7
Or any app that works.

maybe my experience is helping:
is the network in infrastructure mode (normal hotspot) -> don't need any software
is it a adhoc network -> use zt-180 adhoc switcher (make correct settings - ssid - wep key if needed)
Wifi hotspot and usb tether
By SVTP
Works fine.
What I use is a Rom on my phone, android has wifi tether built in, the carriers just disable. Flash a Rom and use androids native tether, free and simple

Barnacle wireless tether works well for me. Use it on my Droid x2. Verizon hasn't blocked it on the market yet.

Cant post links yet because I havent reached the magical 8 post number yet but just go to google and type wireless tether, the first site that comes up in search takes you to the place to download the different wifi apps.
