Hi everyone, im looking for a ad hoc enabler for my phone to be able to connect to my pc's internet via ad hoc. I use a broadband usb modem to connect to internet on my pc so i obviously dont have wifi at home. Using usb internet pass through is quite annoying as i must have a usb cable connected to my phone the whole time. so can anyone recommend a 100% working app for me?

What is your OS on your PC? I know Windows has the ability to create an ad hoc network using the wifi card of the PC. No special app needed. Go to the Network control panel, click Add, and select Ad Hoc network.

Good question. That's what I get for assuming things work logically . I'll have to try it when I get home this evening.

sooo how did it go? there are a few apps out there with this feature but if it fails it will mess up the wifi. im looking for a 100% working on evo 3d gsm app so i dont have to deal with fixing the wifi problem.
would you be so daring enough as to try installing WiFi Ad Hoc enabler v1.8 and see if it works? LOL im scare it might mess up my wifi and i have no idea how to fix it.

I stumbled across this accidentally while searching for an internet passthrough .apk:
www.connectifyme.com
Turns your windows 7 computer into a WiFi hotspot.
Works Great! Seems faster than internet passthrough.
I never knew windows 7 had this capability. Cool.
so there is no need for internet passthrough anymore.

LOOL my laptop is ancient! it came with vista on default and yeaa i have no idea how to install a new OS on laptop, like if i need to have cd key or anything kinda never really bothered to learn much about technology... UNTIL I GOT AN ANDROID! ahahaha
Comments withdrawn
Lool honestly im not i just dont see the point of updating my barely useable laptop anyways, forgot to update here. I used zt ad hoc switcher and got my phone to detect ad hoc, surprised both wifi ad hoc enabler and manually overwrite wpa_supplicant failed but this app works fine.

This question should be posted in the general section, not development....
BUT, android can't natively connect to ad-hoc networks without a modified wpa_supplicant. You should search in the forum for your Samsung tablet for a compatible wpa_supplicant file, and you must be rooted to install it.

Is your device temp rooted or you have wifi tethering plan with Verizon?
You can download and run CleanTool to temp root your device and install any wifi tethering app on the market.
Hey everybody! Anyone have any luck getting the Nintendo DS working with WiFi Tether? My DS will connect, but when I try to look for opponents, the game searches for a long time and then gives a communication error. Same thing for when searching for friends. They show up, but when it tries to connect it eventually just errors.
And help is greatly appreciated!
When I do "Test Connection" in the WiFi setup on the DS, WiFi Tether shows the DS connection, but when I get on through the game it doesn't.
Pokemon? Lol

Nah.
I can literally connect to the wifi... I just can't join any games.
That's what I'm saying. With my old Hero I could connect with the Hero, browse the web, but couldn't connect to any games because the Hero could only use Ad hoc protocol. I'm no guru, but that's what I experienced. So it might be the same here with our phones. But if you're using the Hotspot built in, then that can't be the case.
Blah.

Ah I see. It's not on Ad Hoc. My DS won't even let it connect on Ad Hoc >.> Plus my PS3 can use it which also doesn't support ad hoc.
Hello,
I've been trying to use tethering of my 3G phone to get WiFi on my Prime. I am using an app from the market that creates an Adhoc network to do the tethering. The app is working fine as I verified by connecting my Laptop to my phone's 3G and got it working.
The Transformer Prime detects the Ad Hoc network but just doesn't want to connect to it!
Any suggestions?
Works fine for me (prime tethered to 4G HTC Rezound) .. It's probably just your app. Try using wifi-tether.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Yup, not working for me either. It sees it and let's me select the wifitether network but it just says "saved". It won't let me connect to it. I'll keep trying

I get that sometimes too...but a long hold on the wifi line has options to connect/forget/modify.....at different times, I've had to use each of them....but I'm always eventually been able to get tethered to my Win6.5 TouchPro 2.
The app I use is WMWiFiRouter.....it works great....but it's not a free app

You don't need that fix....That's one thing that 21 did....was to incorporate that fix into the update.
i think i may have your answer. i couldn't tether my prime to my htc evo 4g either. then i enabled routing fix under wifi tether settings and now I'm able to tether prime no problems at all. hope that works btw I'm using wifi tether 3.1 beta 6

As stated above, a long hold on the WiFi icon will give you three options...Hit "connect"...usually solves the issue

tried a bunch of times...
i tried to connect a transformer prime to a mac book pro as access point with no success.
i got a "saved" message instead of "connected"... hit "connect" doesn't do the trick either.
tried using a nexus s as access point using easy wifi tether, and i've been able to connect my prime with no problem.
no security in both case. if ad hoc connection doesn't work please specify what access point you try to connect to. it might help to solve the problem.
ad hoc works with joikuspot premium on nokia n97 mini
In joikuspot premium settings you just have to choose for WEP Open. That way the tf201 will accept it when you put in the network key you get.
Guys have any of you u shared your laptops internet connection to the phone? via WiFi or a USB cable? Im sure a smartphone of this generation should be able to do something like this but Im just not able to figure how.
I have an unlimited Internet connection on my PC so it would be nice if I could get the same on my mobile for browsing when home.
Please help.
Not to the phone, but from the phone.
Not sure how you would turn your laptop into a hotspot?
Set up an Ad-Hoc wireless network on your laptop.
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium
Well, tried ad-hoc, it dint work. Tried connectify, that dint work either.
Then got to know about the windows program mhotspot from mhotspot.com. It has turned my laptop into a virtual wifi hotspot through which my mobile can connect to the net through.
Good for those who have a limited or slow data connection on their phone.
connectify works in my laptop
Connectify works perfectly fine for me too... What error do you get, mate?
any tutorial for conectify? noob sorry

Install, start, press the big button, connect from your phone
@OP: what you're looking for is called reverse tethering. Search for it, there are lots of solutions.

Couldnt find the wifi hotspot on my phone. But since mhotspot worked fine for me dint really go further into investigating the reason. Thanks anyways.

Hi. I come from Apple's iPhone, and don't know many things about Android.. One of the annoying "problems" Android software has, is not recognizing ad hoc hotspots... I googled for an answer, and found that there is an app called Wifi Ad Hoc enabler, but is compatible with only 5 or 6 Android devices. So i ask, if there is a way to fix this on my Galaxy s3 and be able to recognize and connect to ad hoc hotspots......
Can't be done yet but apparently some people are working on it.

Thank you for your answer... I suppose, that when a solution is found, it will be posted in this section... Thank you again...
In most cases people whe create/need ad-hoc hotspots, they are trying to tether the phone on the computer's internet connection.
If you're running Windows, try using Connectify on the computer (Windows 7 only). That application will create a real AP hotspot and not ad-hoc connections.

I tried to create a hotspot from my laptop using Connectify, but it sais AP is not supported, so i am still unable to see the wifi from the phone.. I tried creating a hotspot from my iPad, and no luck either . I think it is the same problem with ad hoc...
