Ad-Hoc for Nook STR - DONE!

Aug. 4 Update:
(*) DONE!!!!!!
Following the thread @ Nook Color Wifi Ad-Hoc Fix
Except I used Root Explorer instead of ADB (too lazy) to replace "wpa_supplicant" in /system/bin folder.
Confirm Ad-Hoc tethering working with my iPhone 3GS with MyWi (Ad-Hoc hotspots will show with "(*)" prefix)

Hi all,
Wonder if there is a wifi fix for nook touck connecting to ad-hoc wifi hot spots (cellphone) like that for nook color? This would fulfill my complete wish list...
Many thanks!

That would be neat. I can tether from my iphone, but I can't get Nook to see it...

Same here - that is because Nook only sees wifi hot spots in "infrastrucute" mode, which excludes "ad-hoc" type of peer-2-peer hot spots (iphone).
In Nook Color, this has been patched to support ad-hoc wifi.
Also, MyWi 4.61.1 for (jailbroken) iphone is said to support wifi in "infrastructure" mode, which I suspect works on iphone 4 only since my 3GS doesn't seem to have that setting...

Same on my 3G with 3.1.3 (whited00r jailbreak) - no infrastructure. I guess there might be a patch for nook STR, or maybe the same hack may work... worth a try, as the method posted in the NC forum creates a backup of the file involved in the hack.

Aug 4 Bump - adhoc achieved - ENJOY!

Congrats jo2kxda.
Will try it this weekend. If I don't break the nook with the update!

I tried with my laptop, I've seen "(*)" on my nook screen, but can not connect.
it show "Obtaining address..." and never done

B&N Removal of Ad-Hoc Support
Why would B&N ever remove this functionality from Android to begin with?

This could be due to a number of reasons, 1st thing I'd check is whether the ad-hoc network on laptop is setting up properly - is there a 2nd laptop or a desktop w/ wifi card that you can try connecting to this laptop? In theory once you cans see the network, you can connect to it.
EDIT: forgot to mention that I also did this:
Using Root Explorer to modify /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini

In tiwlan.ini, look for "WiFiAdhoc = 0".
Change it to the following
WiFiAdhoc = 1
Let me know if this helps.

Confirmed, it works fine. As I couldn't get adb to run on my computer, I went "root explorer way". And it works on a Iphone 3G with mifi!
Thanks for sharing the info jo2kxda!

Please provide more info:
-Is this an ad-hoc connection from the wifi of your laptop?
-Did you have a chance to check whether other devices such as iphone, or another laptop can successfully connect to this ad-hoc connection?

Had the same problem. Solved by tftpd32 (tiny DHCP server for WinXP).
P.S. But after share activation for the internet connection it started to obtain IP address without tftpd32. WinXP run it's own DHCP-service (192.168.0.1).

Before adding the ad-hoc hack to the nook STR 1.0.1, whenever I turned the nook off (screensaver mode) and on again (even after a while), wifi would be working. After I added the ad-hoc hack, when I came back from screensaver I'd have to restart the wifi connection.
Has anyone else noticed that???
I'm interested in doing it for 1.1.0. Has anyone done it? Any problem (like the one I mentioned above)?

@up,
Positive, it works. Does not have affect on "Unsuccessful" message.

Works for my NTGlow with 1.1.5 fw.

I have the same problem as ''obtaining address'' and never done...I tried all the methods mentioned above ...this is an ad-hoc in my labtop windows xp...I tried using another labtop and I successfully connected to my labtop ad-hoc connection...someone here said something about ''tftpd32'' but I cant figure out what's that and how to use that...
can anyone here give a complete tutorial on how to solve this issue ?
I appreciate if someone could help...

Hello, I had the same problem. I set up ad-hoc connection with my laptop using static ip address 192.168.0.101 and now everything is working. Cheers

Networking problem, need help please

Help,please.
Meet the problem. Transformer connected to my home wifi network. All devices in network connected to the internet, except Transformer. Manually configured network. I tried different wifi networks. All wifi networks successfully connected, but without internet. It looks like transformer could not route. i could not ping machines in the same network. Is there anybody who has same problem??
Thanks in advance
P.S. Who knows how to make routing table? Transformer connects to wifi, can ping himself but could not ping gateway in the same network.
It happend when i started playing with ROMs. Installed different ROMs with super wipe (Revolver, Revolution HD, Megatron, ICS WW_epaduser9_2_1_24, same problem.

have you tried switching the router off for a few minutes and rebooting it?

O yess, many times. If it is router problem, then all other machines could not connect to internet over wifi. Only Transformer could not, and tested on 3 different wifi networks (with and without DHCP)

probably wont help, but what about Kernel - have you tried different Kernels?

I tried different kernels, (Kernel-ICS-V22.6-OC1700-fb-AOKP_646, kernel_asus_rev01) but what kernel would you suggest?

if those have not worked then i doubt any others will. Rev3 Harmony (asus or universal) depending on which base your going to try - or the latest Guevor, version depending on base again.
Wifi is not my thing but thought id ask the obvious just incase. sorry i cant help more but im sure someone will be along soon :good:

WTF.
Installed Kernel Guevor N22.6 and Revolver 4.0.3 ROM. Same problem. Connected to wifi but no internet.
Even I disassemble Transformer and reconnected batteries. Does not help
Is it possible that hardware problem in wifi? Why in that case wifi connected? Magic.

First try turning air plane mode on then off to see if that works also your network may not like androids long default host name so consider changing that if you have root

What router are you using? make sure your using channels 1-11 (not 12 or 13) and check your on 2.4 GHz not 5 GHz

For the present test im using connectify soft and share my internet over my laptop. And it worked before. I installed busybox and did some commands. It looks like oruting table is correct, def gateway is pinging, interface is up. But could not connect to any site over integrated brower, could not connect to youtube or playmarket or gmail. Attached is screenshot. Maybe i lost something.

No one, who can give me any advice??
I reflashed Transformer up to latest ICS WW 9.2.1.27. Did not help. Still connected to wifi, but could not access to internet.

giving your router configuration and brands, could help I think...
in my period of owning a transformer, there are one place at where I live where it can't connect to.. a free wifi at a restaurant.. it just cant't, it detects but it can't connect.. the channel was within 1-11, but still not connectable.. I've tried different roms and kernel, still to no avail.. while my other device can connect to it just fine... maybe there are some router that transformer not compatible with..

Problem is that transformer could connect to wifi network without any problem. It shows that connected to internet, but could not open any site or youtube or gmail.

[GUIDE] How to setup VPN for game streaming

I got VPN working on my shield... Quality is pretty good over LTE although with a lot more audio delay but that could just be LTE.
Step 1. Go to the Network and Sharing center and click the Change adapter settings button

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 2. Press file -> new -> New Incoming Connection. Mirror settings below
Select user that you use. This will have the same user/pass as your computer
Step 3. Go to settings on your shield. Go to more -> vpn -> plus button (you may have to set a pin or pattern if you don't already)
Enter a name, your external ip address (or dynamic dns)
Step 5. Open the port TCP 1723 and GRE on your router. On fios actiontec this can be found in Port Fowarding and using the "PPTP" preset service.
Step 6. Click the new VPN entry on your Shield. Login and if all goes well it should say "Connected" YAY!

Great instructions, but my streaming PC isn't being detected.

NICE! Thanks.

should be noted that PPTP issn't secure. Same works for me via IPSec

Oh. My. God. I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN!!! My Galaxy Note ll has full bars of T-Mobile LTE at my job. (Speedtests of 40MB/s and above). My home internet is 170mb/s and above. This is PERFECT! (Also note that the G-Note ll has unlimited data tethering as I work for TMO lol).

I have unlimited tethering too! (As long as I use a vpn!
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium HD app

It will work better if the computer accepting the vpn connections has a static ip

ok so am I forwarding to the IP on the shield or on the pc?

the pc you are using to accept the vpn connection

My isp is a jerk and I don't have access to the router configuration. Having the hardest time getting this set up since I have to tell them what to do over the phone. They apparently don't see anything on gre. Just Ip, forward port, and protocols TCP, UDP, and both

I probably do not have the same router, so the configuration isn't going to be the same. either way, I'm doing it over the phone because my ISP won't give configuration privileges, even if you have your own router.

what model router do you have? Also it will still be port forwarding and General Routing Encapsulation that need to be configured.

I have a comtrend Nexuslink 3100u. Its the isp's provided modem/router.
I never got the GRE setting figured out. So I tried setting an IP range in the IPv4 properties of the incoming. I now have a VPN, but I still can't access my streaming PC.

I've noticed after I got connected through the VPN my geforce PC was coming up as offline when I looked but when I tried to launch steam it seemed to work and launch all my games, it can get a little funky though sometimes it just won't work other times it works fine

Yup. I've been toying with it a bit now and I got it to work. I could probably use a bit more upload speed on the local side.

Am I reading this right? Does this allow usage of the streaming feature while not being local?
As mentioned above it says sound is way off, but what about the video?

My home internet runs the upload speed at 1mbps. Not great. If I run the hotspot from 3 bars of 4G on my phone to my shield, I can stream my pc games to my shield at a playable speed.

I seem to have a problem if I'm a certain distance from my house on 4g hotspot it always disconnects in the middle of a game, could it be because of my home internet connection

That's awesome to hear, especially since in my experience my hotspots tend to have a higher latency than regular connections. By the way after the audio update how is the audio sync with video on your hotspot? What would you estimate your average latency to be from your input to action taking place in game?

Have you used the same SSID on your 5GHz as on your 2.4GHz?
If so: they must be different!

My Note 3 Work very well on 5 Ghz, is my wifi at home. Router Belkin.
Look whit Wifi Analyzer, option wifi channels. You see all of the 2,4 Ghz, and if You touch on top left it change to 5 Ghz. You must see Yours.

My N9005 connects to my Asus RT-AC66U, but keeps complaining about an unstable internet connection. My old SIII worked fine. Compatibility issue between N9005 and Asus AP's?

Did you find a solution? I have the same pproblem.This plus the unstable connection problem is making me miss my note 1

Found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675547 on 5ghz connection issues on Note 1 in Hong Kong. It describes channel limitation based on region. The file in my etc folder has ccode=GB which I assume is Great Britain. However, it allows the channels that my wifi router EA4500 is using on the 5ghz channel. So no luck on recognizing the 5 ghz network still.
I downloaed wifi analyzer and looked at my network. By default my router and I assume all the ones in my neighborhood use channel 1 on 2.4ghz. I just switched to channel 12 and there hasn't been any issue for the past hour i.e. no unstable connection warning from the phone. Just downloaded a 40MB file without any glitches at good speed. Will report back if the problem comes back.
Edit: Spoke too soon. Unstable connection warning back in a couple of hours. The interesting thing is that both my old Note 1 (N7000) and my wife's S4 can see and connect to the 5ghz SSID just fine and of course have no unstable connection notifications which seem to be an 'enhancement' in the note 3! Sigh Haven't even rooted the N9005 because of the knox flag or I would have played a bit with the wlan configs in the etc folder. Guess will have to wait for Samsung to come around to admitting a problem and then fixing it.

I've been having the same issue with my RT-AC66U.

I also have a RT-AC66U... and I'm connected fine with my Note 3.
go into your wifi settings and make sure that the third checkbox is not checked.
Name in french of this box is "Basculement réseau auto"...
With this setting enabled, my wifi is unstable even if the signal power is full.
Also make sure that you have the latest firmware on your router.

Try channel 48. Dont use those channels 160+, may not be supported.
I'm using an AC66U.

FoxFi_2.19/PDAnetA4150 Hopes For Note 7

Just got finished on a 2.5 hr chat with a Sprint Sales Agent to finalize my pre order for the Note 7. I am very confident this device is the one. My only concern is that FoxFi_2.19 on the Note7 without root, with PDAnet_A4150 on my Samsung Laptop will work as well as it has been with my temporary S7 without root. The S7 has Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow without root. Little sucker tried downloading an OTA the first day out of the box. Stopped it in its tracks at about 8%. FoxFi_2.19 worked perfectly sending internet connection via bluetooth to the laptop and created WiFi hotspot on the laptop via PDAnet_A4150. Even got my VMs on a desktop in Virtual Box to obtain internet via the hotspot. Note 7 comes stock with Android 6.0. I think we'll be OK.
If I have to root to use connection tethering, I will. It worked so well for me with my Note 4, it has been my exclusive source of internet. Told Cox goodbye. Looking forward to getting to know this new device very smoothly and methodically. Very grateful to the devs for all they do.

The spec data from my sprint account shows the Note 7 comes with Android 6.0, but the summary on the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 7 page says it ships with 6.0.1. Guess we'll see on delivery day.

I can confirm that USB Tether using PDANET on laptop and FoxFi on Note 7 works without fail.

You must be doing it wrong. How are you starting it? Are you going into Settings, Hotspot and Tethering? If so, don't go there. Go to the FoxFi app.

Don't use the wifi mode. It triggers the sprint subscription prompt. Yes. The bluetooth works for internet. Start the bluetooth in the FoxFi app on the phone. Then in PDAnet on computer, connect to phones internet via bluetooth. Once connected, you can create a wifi hotspot on the computer with the PDAnet wifi share to share the internet connection with other devices. Only thing is the subsequent connections via the wifi share must be made static, not dhcp. The wifi share will have a gateway address of 192.168.137.1, so just make the connections 192.168.137.2, .3, .4, etc.....

Sweet. Once last question, what about sharing with other mobile phones or tablets. Would bluetooth work?
