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.

Hi, im in need of some assistance. I have a new android device, the Archos 5IT. my phone is the Tilt 2. i have been unable to get my tilt 2 tethered to it thru wifi. reason being that the xda wifi router app uses adhoc mode. the archos will only see Infrastructure connections. Someone on the archos forum said the HD2 has built in a wifi tethering app that is infrastructure mode. Can someone plz direct me to that app or another wifi tethering app that uses Infrastructure mode only? also, free apps...lol thnkx in advance i figure if i download that app, ill be good, and wont have to take this device back. plus its giving me probs trying to connect thru bt also. lol FIGURES
If you can't find a free one, I recommend WMWifiRouter (v2 and above). It lets you connect multiple devices via Wifi (infrastructure style) and Bluetooth, as well as work as a USB modem and a USB Wifi dongle.
If you have Omarket installed, just download "Mobile Wi-Fi Router." It works GREAT!
Sorry about reviving an old thread. I've been searching and trying to find this exact solution, but neither of the ones listed here are doing "Infrastructure" mode. I'm currently testing WMWifiRouter (v2.0 - build 1502, downloaded directly from their site today) and when I set up the wifi connection, it only gives an option for Ad-Hoc (or none - which is for connecting to another access-point).
Am I missing something with WMWifiRouter, or is there any other app at all that will do Infrastructure mode? I don't mind having to buy something, I just need it working.
Thanks!

Sorry if I am not clear with your issues above.
But, Winmo 6.5 in HD2, has a native wifi tethering application.
There is an option menu (in Comm Manager) to turn on the Wifi Router.
This will make your HD2 as an Access Point. It can accept 5 devices.
Cheers..
Yes but only in adhoc mode, not in infrastructure mode, which appears to be needed for connecting some devices like psp and my new HTC flyer!
Same problem with GT 10.1 and HTC HD2
I have the wifi router program but it's not working with my galaxy tab 10.1, how can i tell if its adhoc or infrastructure signal?

Hi, I am researching this as well, and here is what I have found so far.
1. Android does not currently support/connect to ad-hoc WiFi, only Infrastructure mode.
2. If your Android tablet device can not see the WiFi from your phone hotspot but a PC Can, then it is probably ad-hoc, as my WinMo HTC HD2 is.
3. I have an Asus Transformer tablet with Android 3.1 and this can not see my WiFi from the WiFi hotspot settings, but my PC can see it and connect to the HD2.
4. If there is an Android ROM for your phone, (XDA Forums) that will run from the SD card, you can boot into that and use the WiFi hotspot (Tethering) from the Android ROM. This seems to work fine on my setup.
Hope this helps
really would rather not root if at all possible
since i live in fear of ending up with a very expensive brick (by messing up rooting my xoom) - has anyone come up with a way to make the winmo htc hd2 send out an infrastructure wifi signal?

Simple answer is no. Winmo 6.5 will not do infrastructure wifi hotspot, no matter whether native Winmo app or a 3rd party app (i.e., WMWifirouter). You're going to have to do what I'm doing with my HD2. Go thru the learning process of installing an Android build on your SD card, and then boot into Android. You've very little risk of bricking the HD2 if you read carefully and follow the guides. [However, these guides are definitely written by geeks, not editors who write and re-write to be explicitly clear.] Supposedly, the Android Wifi router is infrastructure, but I've not yet gotten to that point in my own process. The first one I tried to install (AmeriCanAndroid) didn't complete booting up successfully, so I tried another Android build (MIUI), but in it I'm not finding a wifi tethering app. And, in it, the Market app is crashing. So, I'm now on the search for a 3rd Android build. The payoff is big (wifi tethering to my Viewpad 7 tablet), so I persevere. Good luck to you on your journey.
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
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
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] still no ad hoc in JPC??
is it true??
i tried a couple times and i'm still wondering about this ad-hoc problem
anyone?
i really need to confirm this
[Q] ad hoc in jpc??
is there still no ad hoc compability in the new FW JPC??
is there any trick to connect wi-fi from laptop to galaxy s.
PS: i use vista, so no connectify.

Hi all,
I'm tring to connect my galaxy tab to internet through wifi tether on milestone and the tab can't see the milestone wifi network.
I know for sure that milestone's wifi tether works fine because I can use it with my laptop.
Anyone has the same issue?
How can I solve?
hi
i used the wifi hotspot of my desire and it worked great.
what i miss is the capability to find and connect to Ad Hoc's
(they just dont appear in the networks list on my tab)
maybe the milestone is creating a ad hoc.
Yes it is..
How can i make a different network type and fix it?

Same here bro... ill look into it.
Yeah. Am having the exact same issue as well.
wifi problem (can't see tether)
Hi guyz,
Just opened my brand new Galaxy tab , I'm having the same issue: he doesn't see any tether network (from my windows mobile 6.1 htc p3650) neither any "ad hoc" network created from my laptop pc sony vaio.
On the xds forum I found this solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7711198&postcount=6
(originally created by "daveba")
and here there is a video with the procedure http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5o5WlyA7WI&feature=player_embedded
Hope you (and me) will solve with this trick,
please report me any problems /other ways to fix
Thank you, good work

(more: I'm not sure that the galaxy tab can connect to other wi-fi network since I just unwrapped it and there are no other wifi net nearby!...hope it's not a problem of MINE TAB only!!! :O )

yeah this works. i tried this last week.
apologies if this has been addressed, i'm trying to determine if there is a fix for the nexus 7 being able to connect to adhoc networks. i came across this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787680&page=1 but it ends about a month ago with no real resolution. this is a major concern for me, i've already returned one phone because it would only transmit adhoc. i need to be able to tether my nexus 7 for work purposes and i'm stuck with my old optimus v unless there is a fix. thanks!
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
