[Q] WMWifiRouter's router name isn't discovered on Viewpad 7

Been running WMWifiRouter on my HD2 (TMo, WM6.5) for over a year with little problem, serving as my home computer's Internet connection. Just bought a Viewpad 7, and want to serve its wifi connection similarly. Nothing I can do on either device causes the HD2 wifi hotspot to be seen by the Viewpad 7. I also downloaded and tried the XDA's WiFiRouter, with same results. The Viewpad 7's wifi is working fine - - it can see lots of other wifi hotspots. Any suggestions?

I just got this answer from a similar post on PCCGeeks forum:
your windows mobile creates adhoc WiFi, which supported by full blown OS, like windows xp. android does not recognize this type of network. however, iOs devices can see ad hoc.
the only tablet on the market that can see the network created on your hd2 is the iPad ​Oh. Darn. That is bad news. Hmmm... what if I changed my HD2 to run Android (I see lots of forum activity that seems to say that is superior and relatively easy to do, am I right?) If I do that, is there an Android app for the HD2 that would create a wifi hotspot that the Viewpad 7 can see? Surely there's a solution for these 2 pieces of hardware. I'd rather not have to get a SIM with cell phone service for the Viewpad 7, because that's a $30+ a month "solution".

[Q] Nexus 7 and HTC Diamond2 wifi router problem

Dear all,
I have tried to use my HTC Diamond 2 phone as a wifi router but for some reason my Nexus 7 doesn't see the network at all. (my notebook sees it, and I can connect without any problem)
Do you have any idea what could be the problem?
Thank you

Okay, I have figured it out, that Nexus 7 (and maybe Android) doesn't allow ad-hoc wireless connections, I know a method to bypass this problem but it involves rooting, are there any other options?
Thanx

[Q] Create portable wifi hotspot on Nexus 7 grouper?

Is there a way to enable the Nexus 7 16GB or 32GB (not 3G) to create a portable wifi hotspot?
I don't need internet connectivity, I just want several Nexus 7s to be able to connect to each other and share data.
I thought I'd find this in a custom distro such as CyanogenMod, (I'm convinced I saw it somewhere on the JDQ39 build), but now I can't even find discussion of it.
Here someone nearly manages it but runs into DHCP problems http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14917450/create-an-access-point-with-the-nexus-7 There is also this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360631&page=4 but it doesn't seem solid yet, and reliability is my number one issue, (my network of Nexuses will be in schools in the middle of Ethiopian nowhere so remote tech support is my main priority).
Thanks for any comments or views

[Q] Cannot access internet while using hotspot

Greetings people.
I am a new user of Nexus 4 which I bought 3 days ago. Yesterday I encountered a strange problem with my Nexus which I did not have with my previous phone (Xperia Sole). A friend of mine asked me to make my Nexus a hotspot so he could connect to the internet. So what I did was to open my 3G and then use WiFi hotspot. Firstly my friend could connect to my Nexus WiFi but he couldn't access the internet although I could. Then I tried to close and re-open my 3G (without disabling hotspot) and he managed to connect to internet that way. But I couldn't from my Nexus. I never had a same issue with the Xperia. I could connect normally to the internet while using my phone as a hotspot. I was wondering if this is a normal case or should I try something else.
Using Stock Rom 4.4 KitKat and Stock Kernel.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] N4 Connection to a AD-Hoc Network

Hey Guys,
I know already about some threads about that, however, I'm searching for a possibility to be able to connect to a Ad-Hoc network.
I'm using a Google Nexus 4 with the current Android version (KitKat 4.4.2). Even though i can't see the Ad-Hoc network which i createt. (Laptop can see it)
I created the Ad-Hoc network with my jailbroke iPad (so please don't post the solutions with windows) I searched a few days now but don't know what is actually working.
- wpa_supplicant for nexus 4?
- any ROM supporting it? (with Kernel?)
- any App/Mod activating it?
Would be nice if somebody could say something about it.
Greetings.
