Ad hoc connection with laptop - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys.
We know how you can do ad hoc or tethering with phone and laptop to use the phones data connection on the laptop.
How do I reverse it?
I've enabled internet sharing on the laptop but it doesn't show when I scan from the phone.
Is there anything specific that needs to be done?
The phone is galaxy s3 running stock ICS

There is no ad hoc option..but you can tether your of either by wifi or using cable..go to settings>more and enable tethering from there

you can use Connectify-me app for windows for that..... works perfectly.....

will I install this on the laptop or I just transfer it to the phone via USB connection and install it there using let's say total commander?

[Q] ANDROID wifi file transfer

Is there is any application in android like symbian to share data within mobile without any mediator...............
I search alot I got an application to share data between mobile-pc but no mobile-mobile or pc-mobile
Tried Bluetooth file transfer?
Edit :u meant sharing ?
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
yes i mean sharing
I would like to do sharing via wifi because it has much greater speed than bluetooth
as I tried sharing through wifi mobile-pc i got data transfer speed of 1mbps
Finally I got a way to share pc-mobile connection using wifi through esexplorer lan tab
But still i am looking for mobile-mobile wifi data sharing
Try a combination of ES or File Expert with SwiFTP (Mobile FTP server). All are free on the market.
uh in market there is wifi file explorer just used it

You can set a hotspot from the first phone and connect the other to it.

its ad hoc connection it doesnt need internet connection we can transfer and take the as we do in bluetooth sharing
The application which is required is wifi file explorer pro....
(i am attaching that below)
you have to connect your mobile through wifi connectivity than to run this software,
than open the web browser and feed the local address as given by the application thats it.............
you have access over your phone sd card via pc through wifi....

Have you tried using the native portable hotspot function? It's built right into the GS2, and I've used it just fine.
Settings > Wireless and network > Tethering and portable hotspot > Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings
If that doesn't work for you, you can always root and install WiFi Tether for Root users: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
yes, but the problem is it only share adhoc and it works only to iphone coz iphone can also read adhoc connection, when u tried to connect to other android it doesnt work

Um, he told you to use the NATIVE function, not a third-party app.
Third-party apps are adhoc, native tethering is a proper access point. I use it all the time with my Tab 10.1

Not sure what your looking at. I share my WPA PSK 2 hotspot all the time with all my devices. As above mentioned. Its the native feature.

Please clarify what you are trying to do... Cause it is not really clear to me.
Are you saying you are trying to get a DIFFERENT android phone to connect to your phone when it is functioning as a hotspot? Why would you need do that???
What about laptops? Or other wi-fi capable devices, like a tablet? As I said, when I start a hotspot on MY GS2 the same way I described above, I was able to connect my laptop to it and access the internet just fine, even connecting to my work's VPN.
So the question is, what are you doing, and what is going wrong that ISN'T what you are expecting?

AD-HOC Connection in ICS

Hello all,
From other ICS devices I own and follow (and don't worry I know all about the wpa_supplicant issue) I was wondering if anyone has been successful in sharing their laptops internet with the phone?
Case: I at work have an unrestricted internet line, I can't connect a wireless router but I could share my internet via the wireless of my laptop (ad-hoc). Has anyone succeeded in doing this?
Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion, I found the app and downloaded it but didn't work on my phone, it gave an error in the las segment because it cant find the system group "wifi" in my phone. For what I can see the dev stopped updating this app, in my eyes its a shame because that could of been very useful and profitable for him at the same time.

This has been now a life long quest for me since upgrading my Xoom to ICS. I would have perfect connection with GB so I know our hardware supports it, but as of ICS they changed the drivers... I would personally pay for an app / option like this and I know that many others would as well.

wifi adhoc
Make your laptop wifi hotspot
Run dos as administrator and type as follows
netsh
wlan
set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid="name" key="password"
start hostednetwork
show hostednetwork
stop hostednetwork
IMP:- It works on windows 7 and 8 only
Thank you for your help!
I followed your instructions and I got the wireless network up and running. When I try to connect my phone to it (Evo 4g LTE) the phone sees the network, asks for the password, tries to connect but keeps disconnecting and connecting constantly nonstop.
Any suggestions?

USB Tethering without Data Plans

Hey, my problem is the following: I have internet on my PC, not on my phone, no, I don't want reverse tethering, I just want to be in the same connection!
The problem is the connection on my PC goes away if I do that!
Halp!
Use Connectify s/w and create a wifi hotspot. For this you will need Wifi dongle for your pc.

That can't be that I can not set up a connection between my pc and android via usb...

Doesnt work on my device, no one of the reverse tethering stuff works!
There's a s/w called 'Android Tool'. It works on rooted device only and requires xposed. You can try that if you're rooted.
Search in the xda forums or if you wish I can mirror it for you.
