Hello everyone!
Got the X10 recently and want to connect it to the internet to get the contacts on via Gmail and to set up device overall.
- I cannot use my network operator's internet because it's waaay too expensive.
- There are no WiFi hotspots nearby.
So... How can I connect X10 to the internet? I tried AdHoc with my laptop, but later found out that X10 needs to be rooted first, so one could enable AdHoc connecting.
I've also tried Conectify and VirtualRouter applications, but I cannot use them, hardware limitation. Only AdHoc supported.
So I ran out of ideas. Any suggestions will be appreciated!

are you high
it is not possible. Unless you are able to tether your internet in which you made this post, then you are screwed

You need to have Win 7 in order to make Adhoc wi-fi connection on the laptop. That way the laptop becomes like a wi-fi hotspot.
Do you have internet at home with a wireless router?

i have an xperia x10 and iphone 3g both rooted and jailbroken
i have a ethernet "internet" connection at laptop on windows 7
i have made an ad hoc wifi connection on my laptop to use my internet connection with both xperia and iphone.
when i open the wifi of iphone it searches and displays my ad hoc connection . it connects well and does well .
but when i try to connect through my xperia.
1st it showed unable to scan network
which i resolved by rooting.
but now when my xperia scans for open networks...
it displays all other networks in my surrounding areas my neighbours etc...
but does not show the wifi connection of my laptop.
tried to manually add the network
but in vain.
in summary i phone recieves and works on adhoc connection but xperia does not
any advices ?
thanxz in advance
Ok so I'm not really clued up on this so forgive any seemingly stupid comments.
My first thing I have to ask is why do you have to ad-hoc your internet to your phones when you can just use your computer to download stuff then up load them via itunes or stick them on the x10's memory card.
Second thing is...X10 2.1 doesn't cater for tethering or internet connection sharing so you will have to
a) Buy a new phone because SE won't release bootloader sources n codes to allow custom roms to be flashed and make full use of hardware.
b) Use the workaround ROMS by using a ported rom that has been adapted to work on SE x10 firmwares. Plenty of info in the forum as you are well aware.
the 2.2 beta 4 has tethering and I think it works.
As a stock 2.1 firmware, connecting to your PC just allows access to files on your memory card.
P.S When the X10 is SCANNING for networks it is using WIFI. That is why it doesn't pick up your ETHERNET connection.
@ above
u did not read my post properly

It is not a wierd problem its just that android is not capable of connecting of detecting ad hoc networks, i think there is a workaround available, you will have to google it.

Hi,
I have a Sony VAIO with Windows 7 & DLNA.
I have a Galaxy S2.
What i dont have is a WiFi Router. I am yet to get it.
Can anyone tell me if its possible to connect my laptop and Phone somehow without a Wifi router?
I was reading that I can transfer I could transfer file to phone without USB connection. Not sure how
Also Can i create a HotSpot in phone and make the PC connect to that Wifi hotspot?
I tried Connectify on Windows 7 but it never worked. It was never able to create a network for some reason
Thanks and looking forward for your inputs

Go to settings -> Wireless and network -> Tethering and portable hotspot -> Then select "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings" - From this you can set up a Wi-Fi network that uses your mobile internet.
Once you've set this up connect to the wireless network via your laptop and launch the app called "Kies air". From there you can transfer files without the need of the usb connector...
To use DLNA you need a wireless network, i wouldn't recommend using the portable Wi-Fi hotspot for it.
Thank you very much Stylee32 this helps
hope i will get my WiFi router soon
Edit: I tried this solution. Got my PC connected to Mobile. But the url which Kies Air gave didnt work
Edit 2: Finally it worked. Thank you so much
No problem at all, glad i could help

Firstly this is a question so should be placed in the Q & A section.
Secondly does your laptop has wifi ? if yes there are software like Connectify which share the lan/DSL connection by turning your laptop into a wifi hotspot Google them and you'll have your solution.
Also they are free

Hi guys, do you having a problem with wifi connection?
I just discover the problem yesterday. 1st I found that my phone could not connect with router which setup to 13 channel. Since I cannot do anything with this router, nevermind it's ok.
Then I setup ad-hoc wifi at my lappy so that I can connect through lappy which is wired to internet. What the heck, my phone also cannot detect the wifi signal.
I have another phone, LG Optimus One which can connect successfully to the ad-hoc wireless.
So I've installed WiFinder app. That app can detect the ad-hoc wireless but cannot connect.
While this app is trying to connect, I went to wifi setting but it did not detect the signal.
After that I've created wifi hotspot at my LG and the Neo can detect and connect.
What has happened to this phone/firmware/kernel?
I also browsed other forum and somebody also got this problem.
Android doesn't support ad-hoc.
Try resetting your router, in my experience, the problem is caused by the router most of the time.
Is it true Android doesn't support ad-hoc wireless? But why my LG optimus one can detect and use the ad-hoc wireless?
BTW, It's a shared network and I don't have a privileged to reset/modify the router.
My Neo can't connect to an ad-hoc network, just tried it.
Maybe this works? I didn't try it yet.

Yes, I've gone through the net and stock android doesn't support ad-hoc.
From the reading, what I've got is inside wpa_supplicant there is ap_scan setting.
Suppose stock condition is 'ap_scan=0' but if change it to 'ap_scan=1' or 'ap_scan=2' will make the phone see ad-hoc wireless. Will try it later either it will connect with connection or not.

So your Optimus One wasn't on stock ROM?
Nop, my optimus one is running on CM7.
But I've found a solution to this problem. By using a repetear bridge(dd-wrt) and access point, I repeat the wifi and bridge it with AP.
Create another wifi at the AP and Neo can connect it successfully.

Which device are you referring to? Neo? Optimus One?
