Hi, i cant tether between folio and htc tattoo. There is a known "bug" in android, in which you cant see Wifi APs working in AdHoc mode (this is like wifi tether works).
In some new devices, like htc desire, it is fixed because tethering apps works with infrastructure mode, so APs can see in the folio, but... in devices like mine, htc tattoo this doesn't work, so the only one solution its to patch the wpa_supplicant. All this is explained better here: hxxp://szym.net/2010/12/adhoc-wifi-in-android/
The problem is that that patch is for older versions of wpa_supplicant, i have tried with other patches, but doesn't work, some idea???
thanks!
Dexter, could you apply this patch for the next ROM, or make an wpa_supplicant update for current?? thanks
the foliowidget option to use "adhoc" is already enabling the patched adhoc wpa_supplicant, so its in place and has been for a long time, as it was done early on with the image back in november..
but got automated with foliowidget option, where you just restart wifi after selecting adhoc.
cannot use ad-hoc with folio 100 and Dexter 1.3d
Hi!
I've installed Your Mod1.3d as suggested in some article in the internet in my Folio 100.
I've turned on "ad-hoc" in foliowidget, Folio sees the ad-hoc network I create, but then it hangs trying again and again to get an address.
I think it fails with WEP password. If I create an open connection (with WMWifiRouter in HTC Touch HD) it connects fine, but internet navigation does not work!)
My laptop works fine with the same ad-hoc network.
Should I updated to version 1.4? Or what is wrong with it?
Thank you very much in advance!
Stefano B.
you should simply change to WPA or similar, that should for sure help..
i usd it with my galaxy S, and it works fine here in previous releases and nothing changed much on this topic..

Hi! Thank you for your reply!
Unluckily in Connection manager of my HTC Touch HD (with Energy.BLACKSTONE.29017.Sense2.5.ITA.Cookie.2.0.Mar.21 ) I cannot change the encription. Only WEP is available!
Would upgrading to FolioMod1.4 change anything?
Thank you!

Before I buy a G-tablet, one of my major requirement is to be able to tether via my WM6.1 phones (htc mogul and htc 8525).
The 3 options from the WM phones are 1) built-in DUN USB 2) built-in DUN BT 3) WMwifirouter.
I've been digging through the xda forums and it seems like there are no standard ways to use any of these 3 options.
Specifically:
For USB method, android does not have the required drivers.
For BT method, android does not have a built-in BT tether profile.
For wifirouter, android does not allow ad-hoc wifi connections.
There are some work around threads, like for ad-hoc wifi tether the kyros tablet is doing this with limited success:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860489
for BT tether, seems like the archos tablets has a BT profile built-in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893589
Do anyone have a work-around or solution for the G-tablet?
Sorry if this thread is a repeat.
btw, its a bit difficult searching for this because most threads are about tether FROM an android device. In this case, we need to tether TO an android device.
I tether with wmwifirouter without problems using a touch pro 2 on sprint.
The G tablet will connect via ad-hoc with an easy fix, if you do a search on the forums there's an update zip you can apply to stock to enable it, or all the custom ROM's have the ability built in. I use mine daily running on my Droid 1 using wireless tether.
I am running stock 3389 with the gapps enhancement, and once I rooted my work droid x and installed wifi tether, my gtab found it with no issues and connected to it once i set up the wep key. Now I have to see what Verizon is going to do if my account on our corporate account exceeds some sort of data limit since we are not paying them for the wifi tethering/high data rate for my one account. Others have been upgraded accordingly as need arises, so I guess I will see what happens.

PdaNet tethering on my jailbroken iPhone 3g works after I flashed VEGAn-TAB GINGEREDITION on my G tab. My G tab had no problem recognizing PdaNet on my iPhone. Woohoo!
I am also looking for a solution tethering my blackberry bold to gtab. I had tried several methods but no luck so far. We probably need BT tether profile for Gtab. Not sure if someone can porting Archos' BT profile to gtab.
Seems I need to set up the android phone to act as a wifi hotspot. I am using a Viewpoint gtab with Vegan 5.1. I am guessing the the gtab is ready to receive/interact, but the phone needs something.
I have DL easy-tether for the phone and it asks me to DL for the "computer" offering Windows, Mac, Unbuntu and Fedora.
If I have easy-tether on my andriod phone (Motorolo Atrexx), is that enough to establish a connection with the gtab? If so, how? If not, what do I need to do?
The phone has not been flashed with a new rom.
Hi, Dexter and all other fans,
I have installed a WIFI AP application on my 3G phone and I 'm trying to use Folio100 to connect to Internet through that. But I always can not find the WIFI hot-spot on the list. And then I checked Dexter's blog and found this problem has already been fixed in November. I have installed the latest ROM(1.3d) for my Folio and I have no idea why it still doesn't work. Anyone can give any comments?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
the reason must be your phone or the app on the phone. My Folio with FolioMod 1.3d is connecting WLAN very well to the "Android AP", provided from my Dell Streak (Froyo). Even with WPA2-PSK. No Problems at all.
Is the SSID (Broadcast) from your phone-hotspot visible?
regards
The wifi suplicant checker is active? (inside Folio widget menu).

Hi,
Thanks for your info, it was strange that it was not visible from Folio100 but it was visible from my laptop... That 's why I though it is the problem of Folio100.
Any other tricks when setting up WIFI AP from phone? BTW my phone is Nokia N900. The software is called 'Mobile Hotspot'.

it has been reported many times before. it has to do with the encryption of the wifi. avoid wep if u can, and place on either wpa /wpa2 encryption.
Can anyone tell me how to activate ad-hoc wireless on a folio 100 with dexters latest update (1.4)
there appears to be a wp_supplicant.adhoc file in the system/bin directory but i dont know how to use it
I have done this on my galaxy s using a replacement wp_supplicant file but it wont work on the folio.
Hi
mark "active ad-hoc supplicant" or similar (I can´t remember exactly) checkbox in foliowidget. It´s all ;-)
(look for foliowidget in widget´s list, add to desktop and open it, then you´ll be able to open it. It can be opened form widget´s list directly aswell. Don´t forget to give permanent supersuser permissions to foliowidget)
TALUË
the folio finds my adhoc network but
the folio finds my adhoc network but he ask after the ip adres and just stops the network. what can i do about it please.

Hi!
Have you managed to make it work?
I use my HTC Touch HD with WMWifiRouter for creating an ad-hoc wireless network.
My laptop can connect to it fine, and navigate the internet through it, while Folio 100 with Dexter mod 1.3d, connects to it but cannot navigate the internet
Any idea?
Thank You in advance,
Stefano
But this dont run for me, any tutorial to connect to an ad hoc? ?
I used the foliowidget after rooting the phone and it works just fine
i use it to control an ar drone

I have the same problem. The folio sees the network, connects but.. it cannot get an IP. I'm looking for a solution.
If I can find something, I will post it here. Please post any advances.
ive only managed to get it work with foliomod.
the folio searches 2 times for the ip adres and then its connected.
but without wep or wpa otherwise it wont work for me.

My new Touchpad don't seem to support ad-hoc wireless networks. It don't see them or let me join them by entering the SSID (network name) and password. Is there any software I can add or configuration change I can make to change this? I have a Windows Mobile cell phone that can share its connection over wifi, but its ad-hoc only and I use WEP.
Any ideas on what to do about adhoc networks? Any hacks or sideloaded software, if no official apps?
This KILLED me. I bought mine over the weekend while I was on vacation and the hotel had a catch-all page so I couldn't get through registration from that network. I figured no big deal and turned on my hotspot (Moto Photon) and it wasn't showing up. I configured a wifi shared connection on my laptop and it didn't show up. I thought I was insane! Ended up getting annoyed and driving up the road until I found an open network without a catch-all... My wife drove while I scanned for a connection. I know for a fact that they work with the Palm Pre's shared connection. What's up with the haterade HP?
I have an original droid and have this same issue as I understand cyanagen mod allows you to create a non ad hoc WiFi but I can't get a clear answer on this
So far I could not find an app or hack to allow the Touchpad to connect to an adhoc wifi either. I too have a WM phone (HD2). Unfortunately there is also no app for the WM phone that would allow it to broadcast infracstructure (non-adhoc) wifi.

I had this problem also, but you can still make it work. Goto your networks wifi setting and flip the auto switch and wait. It takes some time (almost 5min for me) but it'll pickup the ip address and finish loading the setup pages.
I am trying to use my TP with the wifi from my Touch Pro 2. Any help would be appreciated.
This is a real let down, no ad-hoc support. And our WinMo phone and Motorola Triumph do not support Infrastructure mode.
SoftAP appears to be a requirement to tether with android phones.
Unfortunately my Galaxy Spica does not have this so until some wonderful magical person creates an app/patch which allows the Touchpad to Bluetooth tether or utilise ad hoc wifi networks my tablet will be housebound
also need help with HTC HD2 on winmo 6.5 tethering adhoc with touchpad.
i guess the more realistic solution will be HD2 running android?
For you rooted android phone users http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238382
I'm really annoyed about this. One of the main things I thought of when buying the touchpad was to tether it to my winmo phone and browse the internet on the move. I hope someone creates a patch soon to enable adhoc wifi.
Really disapointed that I can't tether my iphone 4 to my touchpad.
For the price I can live without gps, sd/micro sd card slot, usb but the not being able to tether this thing is a deal breaker for me.
All I wanted to be able to do with my touchpad is tether for mail, browse the web, music, and be able to watch movies and it seems this thing falls short on everyone of the fronts.
I wonder if its likely anyone will release a patch for WebOS to allow it to recognise and use AdHoc networks?!
Just upgraded my Samsung Galaxy Spica to 2.2 Froyo using kitchen - Enabled portable Wi-Fi Hotspot from the settings menu and now it works perfectly (open or with WPA2 PSK encryption)
Appears this was the only way to get it to work for me as the touchpad was not detecting the adhoc connection on 2.1.
for those with the HD2, try using MCCM HD v6 DESIRE ROM. I can tether to my touchpad with no problems.... first try, no setting tweaks or anything...
Through my searching it was my understanding that Ad-Hoc support could be injected to the touchpad, is there any progress on this front to make it more user friendly? It was pretty heavy linux speak.
Most of the threads I've seen are focusing on Android development for support. What about the webOS side of things?
This is what I'm referencing:
webos-internals
.org/wiki/Ad-Hoc_Networking*
Is there some reason this isn't a viable option? the signal issues? Seems if the method is there than all that it needs is to be more user friendly...

I tried what was described in the thread a few days ago. Ran into issue when trying to execute
/usr/sbin/wifidriver -i
no such file exised....
I have a Samsung Charge with Gummybear. I could not tether at first. I went to the tethering settings and changed the profile to a Samsung Fascinate. Then changed the Setup-Method to softap for Samsung (master). This did not work at first then I shutdown (using the task manager) the tethering app and restarted. Turned my wi-fi on the touchpad off, then on, and my SSID came up. Clicked connect and went to access control and approved my touchpad connection. Now it works.
Hope this helps someone.
Just a heads up for anyone using an iphone 4 with their touchpad.
If you upgrade to ios 4.3.3 or later you can enable wifi hotspot and this hotspot will thether with the touchpad without issue.
I was running ios 4.1 trying to use mywi without success and then decided to try this method and works like a charm.
Hi All,
I running the stock wm6.5 HD2 rom from t-mobile.
I have just bought a Arnova 10 G2 (cheap from hmv) and would like to use my phone wi-fi hotspot to get online. The problem I have is, the tablet does not recognise WEP encryption.
Can someone tell me the easiest way I can get online using my phone?
I have done several searches and a few people discuss similar issues and talk about writing and adding code. I do not know how to do this as I'm a middle aged fat bloke with no understanding of such things.
I have read a lot about flashing the phone to make it android, would this help or is there a simpler way?
Thanks in advance
CJ
Problem is not your WM6.5 HD2.
Problem is Android has ****e standard connectivity & does not have ad-hoc support as standard.
You will have to find an ad-hoc fix for the Tablet.
WM6.5 conectivity for tethering in both directions is faultless & can be achieved via wifi/BT/USB

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure how to find a ad-hoc fix for the tablet. I've looked for wi-fi apps to find one that will recognise WEP w-fi.
there are a few out there but they find the phone but do not allow connection. as when you try to connect it takes you back to the tablet software.
thanks again for your help.
i have the same problem ... HD2 WM.6.5 and ARCHOS 70 INTERNET
do you found a solution??

The only way I've found is to replace the wpa supplicant file, and it will require root access. I can't seem to attach files from my View. I got the file in the Dell Streak forum - search for wpa_supplicant. The one I have is for gb.
Sent from my HTC View in LALA land.
EDIT: OK, back on my PC, and here is the thread with the file:

Hello, I've got the same tablet and tethering works with my htchd2. Wifi routing does not work, I was not able to create a PAN network with my HTC HD2, and was not able to see a DUN network on my tablet. (or is it the other way round ?)
But tethering, using my 3G connection works. I sometimes need to reboot the tablet.
