CM Internet Sharing (Mobile Hot Spot) not visible

I use CM_InternetSharing app on my WM mobile phone to create a hot spot. The software works great and all my Windows pc's & my brothers iPad find my cell phone and gain a internet connect but the Elocity A7 does not connect. The Elocity A7 does connect to my home network but it does not find the mobile hot spot.
Note: WiFi Analyzer finds my WM phone but I can't connect - So I guess it has to do something with the WEP encryption between WM & Andriod in obtaining a IP.
My elocity is on build 0127.
Any ideas?

I have to install the adhoc-fix.zip by dexter on to see my hotspot I have a hotspot on my virgin mobile phone . do a search here on the forum for adhoc-fix.zip and it will give you the link. You rename it to update.zip and install like the mods on the a7 but you do not have to clear stuff.

I found the adhoc-fix.zip. Did you apply this using recovery? Ie. rename to update.zip.
I also seen that someone mention to execute a chmod on a file. Do you know how to get keyboard in command prompt mode?

yes just apply using recovery. I dont know about the other.

Well I applied the adhoc-fix.zip. It got me closer. I can see my phone broadcasting SID XDA-Wifi-Sharing but it won't obtain a IP address. -- Thanks. I'll keep looking

I run the barnicle legacy on my phone to make my hot spot. I have a virgin mobile samsung intercept.

I believe barnicle is for Andriod -- so you are communicating Andriod to Android. My phone is Windows Mobile running XDA CM Internet Sharing. My A7 will not connect to my phone while other PCs (windows) in my home can connect to my phone.

Im in the same boat and I cant get the darn thing to connect when to the XDA-wifi-sharing (adhoc) network on my wm touch pro 2. I wish someone could solve this. I used to be able to dual boot my phone into android 2.2 (rooted) system and set up the hot spot on that and it would connect but that doesnt even work now for A7. I wish someone who really knows this stuff would give it some attention. Ive looked everywhere I find a search query. This is especially annoying since I cant switch to a different phone for at least another six months and I use the phone to get remote access to the internet for all my hardware.

I've got a work around if you are up to it. I starting thinking about a previous user using barnicle. So I ported Andriod to my WM6.5 TP2 CMDA http://sites.google.com/site/androidport/downloads. I launched Andriod from my WM and went to Android Market place and downloaded barnicle. Lauched barnicle and connected my A7. It works. I just have to remember to boot into Andriod when I want to tether.

Is there another place to get the adhoc-fix.zip? I have tried pulling it down but without any luck.

Glad to see you keeping this alive. I did the same thing except the android rom i installed on tp2 had a wifi hotspot feature built into the wireless settings. Its a pain going back and forth though and i find wm is way more stable. I saw someone mention wifi encryption ane cmod on a file. I dont know much about these and how to fiddle with it but im gonna keep searchin.

Ninetoes49 was nice enough to povide a link to the adhoc-fix.zip file at the following site:
http://www.4shared.com/file/dHDOwV-T/adhoc-fix.html
After installing,, my A7 saw the barnicle SSID. I haven't used WPA yet but at least the wifi link is working.

I have windows mobile phone and barnicle is for android. From reading alot, i guess froyo (android 2.2) has problems with WEP connections. The tethering program i use on windows mobile, xda wifi-sharing, uses wep encryption only. Im wondering if something can be changed within the code to make it open like it is in android tethering program which works fine. I would keep using android on windows mobile phone except has no bluetooth functionality and its freezes up a lot. By the way, ive noticed problems with the a7 dropped from home wep networks ive been on too.

I wish I could help more but I am not familiar with Windows Mobile products.
I have been wondering if I should even fool with encryption on my mobile setup. I figure no one can jump on if its not running. I only use it occassionaly. Is it possible that enough people in a given area could "clog" the connection if I don't limit access with encryption?

wep
I'm assuming you have a key assigned in the WEP setup. Basically WEP is not secure since there are tools readily available to crack the key you use in less than 10min. If you don't broadcast the ssid that would make it more difficult since most people would not see the network readily. You would have to try that to see if you can access with an ssid that is not being broadcast. Some systems have a problem connecting to wireless networks that aren't broadcasting the ssid.
I am connecting to my home net using WPA/WPA2 with no problem. I have not connected to a tethering capability.

I have a TP2 (Sprint) and had the same issues as you do. I was using the XDA wifi sharing app but have found an older version of wmwifirouter that works and doesn't require a wep.
There is one caveat though. Using the app has broke my internet sharing one time causing me to have to clear storage. So, if you check the net for wmwifirouter 0.91 and use that, you should be able to connect after the adhoc fix is flashed on your a7.

Thanks Marbieskarb -- for the older version tip of wimwifirouter 0.91 http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=152502&d=1233460803 It worked for me too but after I applied the adhoc fix discuss earlier in this thread. So, now I do not have to dual boot my TP2 to Andriod just to use a tethering app. Great. I'm running wimwifirouter on TP 2 WM6.5.

Wifi issues - most likely not the phones fault

I am having intermittent Wifi on my phone; but at work only. Everywhere works perfect without dropping the signal, but at work the signal drops once every 10 minutes and I have to toggle Wifi to get it back. It doesnt matter of I sit still or have the screen on or off, it always happens.
One thing to point out is that on my iphone I used to use WPA enterprise as security, but on this phone WPA doesn't work, only EAP security. Its the kind if network where you have to login with a username and pass.
Anyone else experiencing this?

This is driving me nuts (as well as the many other things I have posted about. I have a feeling I need to head to a networking forum or something. Can anyone reccomend one?
Even with all the problems im having, I still prefer Android to iOS.

Ok I've figured out where my wifi disconnects are coming from at work. It IS an Android issue so I'll keep posting it here. The problem is that my work needs to use a certificate from entrust.net in order for the wifi to connect and stay connected. I can connect to the network and have full internet access, but after a few minutes its as if the network checks my phone for the certificate, and when it can't find it, throws me offline. Now here's the annoying part. I went to entrust.net to look for the certificate I would need to put on my phone, and found that they offer 4 different certificates. I then looked on the phone at the bottom of settings>location & security and found, "manage trusted certificates". There was a big list of certifcates preloaded on the phone. And guess what? All 4 entrust certificates came pre-loaded on the Atrix. So the problem is not that the certificate is not on my phone, the problem is that I can not associate the certificate to my wifi profile for work.
There are even 2 options under the manage wifi connection that reference certifcates, but when I click them to try and load a certificate, it won't allow me to select anything. I'll post a screen shot of that at the end of this post. If it means anything, the iPhone 4 will auto-pull that certificate when trying to connect to my network here at work. As soon as you connect it will ask to accept the certificate. My work uses WPA Enterprise.
Screenshot: Oh yea.... I forgot, I can't find a single app that will screenshot on the Atrix. What a cool feature we are missing out on. Actually a very needed feature in my opinion.
Please help me or point me in the direction where I can find help. WPA enterprise is pretty common in the business world so someone has already come across this, I am sure.

Android does not have native support for LEAP either. I went through a similar mess as you trying to get my Atrix to connect at work. I had to download the wifi advanced app in order to get a connection.
I'm sure you're already searching "WPA Enterprise Android". It may be worthwhile to see if there's a wifi app out there that could fix your problem.

I have that app and can add extra options yes, it still doesn't allow me to deal with the certificate problem though

[Q] VPN issues

Hi
I am using a g900t with the AICP ROM 7.0 release and I am having some issues with VPN. I purchased VPN access from StrongVPN (If you know of a better provider please tell me who and why). I added my VPN credentials to the built VPN section of the ROM and it connects but randomly quits after awhile. I tried setting up the Always On VPN option but when it connects i have no internet access?
I am new to VPNs just trying to get something fast and reliable set up but feel i am stumbling around like a fool. Any help?

[Q] wifi and firewall

hi, I just got a Galaxy note 4, I can connect to wifi everwhere but not at work. I get error that password is incorrect, I have the same password so I know my password. My stepson has a galaxy s5 and has no problem connection. I actually just returned my first phone after trying 5 days to get it connect at work. Both Comcast box and firewall have been reset. So I am not sure where to go stepson suggest change to developer operating system. I have tried safe mode, soft reset and factory reset to no luck.
This is last resort - before I return and get a different brand/model phone

if you can connect everywhere except work its your work problem. some workplaces use cisco and proprietary protocols to login to wifi after connection. if your workplace does that you will not be able to connect. no phone will. ask your work wifi to use WPA2 with AES instead of some proprietary protocol for wifi. if your son has installed some non standard rom to get his s5 to connect you will need to buy an s5 and do the same.

It is very likely that your work uses wifi protected setup. You need access to router or access point to finish setup. Ask your IT guys to help you. It needs to be done once only.

Response from my IT guys - -they are very helpful since this is a personal phone and not company issued.
I don't have a good reason for this one device to have a problem connecting to this one network. I believe we have eliminated common errors such as mistyped or incorrect password, since you have personally been able to connect other devices without issue. This also eliminates the possibility of a 1-time setup or authorization requirement, as you did not need that for the other devices. I will need to look into whether there could be a technological incompatibility between the two devices.
We will look into this further and have to get back to you.

We have a WPA2. We have people come visit all the time and have them connect.
I am just wondering in there is something in this phone operating system that is more technological updated than the systems we are using and could be the problem

I still would try to use Wifi Protected Setup. It is software depended and Note 4 is capable of using WPS while many others not. It is possible that software in Note 4 sensing that access point has that feature and requesting it. Im not network specialist but I setup few laptops for my friends. They were using Dell Vostro laptops and by default they required using WPS to connect to home network. Once that feature was disabled they connected with no problem using user password.

not possible since i have connected to both WPA2-PSK AES and WPA2-EAP AES systems. EAP requires a username/password instead of just a password.
the only system i have not been able to connect to is a WPA-CKIP and WPA2-CKIP which is a cisco proprietary protocol.

connection made

Hi all,
My Phone has connected to the company wifi. I was searching for an infinity hot spot since I am an infinity customer and was scanning and then I am connected to the company wifi. Then it began to do all these updates and I did nothing to prompt this. (weird since it can connect at home and this did not happen) I have been in contact with Samsung and have been explaining my issue - part of their process is you need to enter model and serial number- is it possible for them to track my phone - I am wondering as when I have called HP for service they can find my laptop. Very weird, but I am happy, Hopefully it will continue to work like this and I can begin to use this phone to its full potential.

yes samsung and google can both track your phone.

[Q] [desperate] Nexus 7 setup behind the Great Firewall?

Hello guys, I can't get past 'checking connection' due to unable to contact Google servers in CHINA. Any brilliant ideas how to bypass? I actually succeeded in setting up my Nexus 5 (LTE) earlier in the week. I tried using a proxy on the N5 and using the hotspot for setting up N7 but it didn't work. Do I have to wait for my next trip to Japan to setup?? I hope the hell not. BTW, I'm installing factory image before rooting and custom ROM, so I can't do it another way. HELP!!!

^^ this is during LOLLIPOP 5.0.2 setup from factory image

No that wouldn't work because an Android hotspot does not respect any tunnels or proxies that are set up on the devices.
If there is a VPN you have access to, and you have a router that can log itself into a VPN, that might be a means of getting through.
