Hi there!
I'm trying to find a way to provision Android devices with a predefined profile to simplify the wireless connection.
There are such a feature on the iPhone (i'm unable to refer you the link due to my low post count) but i'm wondering if there's anything similar on Android without an extra app.
Thanks!

Hello.
I am a CS student. I have a project to write a communication library for android using wifi card. Library should allow transfer of objects between the phones. (in short words I need TCP or at least UDP).
What I would do on a laptop:
switch to adhoc mode, put each laptop on different static IP. use TCP/UDP for communication.
I have a problem doing the same on Android as it does not natively support adhoc.
My question:
I need my library to work on EVO 4G phone (currently on Android 2.3). I will of course need to root it. But what would you recommend after the rooting ?
Exploring teather libraries (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/) or flashing it to 4.0 ? Will I get an API that allows me to use the card in adhoc mode or I will still need to dig that teather libs ?
The communication I need should be using wifi card when there is no AP present and android phones may get in range and out of range of each other.
I am pretty new to Android development. The language I use for the library is JAVA.
Any links/suggestions/thoughts are very welcome.
Thanks in advance.
A bit of clarification.
I don't need any routing protocol for adhoc. What I mean is if I have 3 nodes that are in range of each other I need them to be able to send packets only to each other.
I don't need the dynamic route discovery algorithms.
In case the current topology is <node a> ---- <node b> ---- <node c> (node A is not in wifi range of node C). In this case node A and C can't communicate.

Hi folks, I hope someone can offer some words of advice.
I would like to be able to share my ethernet internet connection on my android 2.2 tablet via wifi.
I know there are various app's on phones that allow you to share your 3g connection but I have not found anything that I can actually install that will create the same sort of functionality on my tablet, most of the ones I've seen on the play store are simple short cuts giving control over the pre-existing wifi hotspot app.
What I need is the wifi hotspot itself, ie the ability to use my tablet as a router/bridge.
So any thoughts people?
Bump
Really, no comments at all, nobody?
Someone must have thought of this before me, if not does anyone know where I can find an actual wifi hotspot app not just a set of controls for the pre-installed hotspot?
Thanks
Jon
If you're talking about what I think you are, I've yet to find a way to broadcast your ethernet connection with your Wi-Fi Hotspot like a router. If there's a way to do it I'd be interested, but somehow I don't think there's a way to do it!
Beginning to think your right Wolfy. To be honest not that surprised there is no ready made to ethernet to wifi app but I thought I'd be able to find a traditional wifi hotspot that I can install on my tablet just for the sake of having a go & seeing if it works.
Amazed that there haven't been any other responses! Where are the regulars?
Hi everyone,
Although I'm an ON/OFF user of the forum, haven't really registered 'till today.
At my work, wifi is available for Android devices only through web browser (and a lot of domains are blocked). No apps can use the wireless connection.
Is there any (simple) way to bypass this, preferably software-based, for an Android 4.2.2. tablet?
Hi everyone!
I just found out inside the stackoverflow,
that some of our android developers are experiencing the difficulty
of switching ON / OFF the Wifi Tether programatically. :fingers-crossed:
Until then, it's fully discovered here.
But my case here is quite similar.
How to set the Device Tethering name?
Because as far as I know, we could go to Settings | Wireless Network | Tethering Portable Hotspot | Setup Wifi Hotspot
There we could set the Device tethering name straight forward.
so,
1. But how to do it by programatically (in code)?
2. And where did Android stored that value actually?
Why not take a look at the WifiManager API and/or ConnectivityManager API?
I investigate on the method of short-distance connection between two platforms for a long time,
and notice that they can only communicate through bluetooth low-energy in any new smart phone(Lollipop).
I only want to know if anyone successfully make it? since lollipop is still pretty new, and i am sure it's not possible to create connection under traditional bluetooth
