[Q] Unable to join Ad-hoc network

Hi,
I've do some explanation of what i want to do first.
I've an Wifi OBD2 adaptor in my car that allow me to use apps in my Galaxy S4 like Dashcommand. In the past, i'Ve an iPhone, which i can use whit that. But now, my galaxy S4, and many other android device i've try like Galaxy Nexus, or Galaxy S3, doesn't see the adapter wifi network.
I've do some search on the internet, and found it's because Android doesn't support natively the AD-Hoc network mode. Whit the search result, i've found some WPA_Supplicant file that i've put on my rooted phone, and nothing i'Ve try let me use wifi.
I've use the original roms, try in the past Cyanogen Nightlies on a SGS3.
Anyone have an WPA_Supplicant file that compatible whit the S4?
Thank you very much for your help!

Google Edition S4 by JanJan - wifi tethering not working ??

Hello
I installed the 4.3 v2.2 rom on my Galaxy S4 - its the Google Edition S4 by JanJan. I turned on wifi tethering and then tried to connect to my phone using my laptop or tablet and I am able to get an IP address but I cannot surf anywhere.
I am able to surf using the browser on the S4 phone.
I am connnected to LTE on the Rogers network.
The SIM works in my S2 and I can enable WiFi tethering and use it perfectly fine - so it's not a carrier provisioning issue.
I have installed FoxFi on the S4 and still have the same issue - able to get an IP but no surfing.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

I'm on Rogers too. I have noticed that with all non touchwiz roms. If you disable lte and use 4g or lower you will be able to get online. With my s3 there was a script you could add to connect to lte but I was unable to find one that works with the s4/4.2.2

Solution
So as it turns out there were 2 APN settings on the phone ltedata and ltemobile. ltemobile was the active one and I could surf on my phone. I deleted the other one and I can now surf from my connected devices using wifi tethering.

[Q] S4 wifi problem

Hey guys,
I use C-ROM for about a week now (I installed it 4h after I got my S4) and all in all it's a great ROM.
But I have some problem with it:
I have a wifi set up by my PC (with some cmd work), due to the restrictions by my carrier.
Every device I own (Tablet and Laptop) find this network and have no problems with this setup at all.
However this device has some problem: At first, when the Wifi is set up the first time, the S4 will connect to the Wifi with no problem at all.
After some time (I don't know what it depends on) the S4 does not find the Wifi anymore.
My Tab (Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 LTE) and my Laptop however still find the wifi and everything works.
To get the S4 work with the Wifi again I have to setup the Wifi completely again (I actually hae to change the SSID), after that it all works.
I'm not sure however if that's a general problem with 4.4 or with this rom.
I think i can remove the device itself from the error list, as all other Wifi-networks work perfectly.
Thanks for your help!
