I know this has been asked for other android devices before, but is there any chance that we can get this somehow enabled on a rooted nexus 10? I have a windows mobile 6.1 phone which only can create ad hoc wifi network for tethering (unless someone knows of a prog similiar to foxfi which can create infrastructure network on win mobile 6.1 phones)
i use my win mobile phone (HTC Touch Pro 2) as a phone as modem with my windows laptops. Anyone has tried out PPP widget and see if this works with a win mobile phone as modem and nexus 10?
Is there any custom rom which allows ad hoc network connection? Really need to be able to tether with my phone ;( appreciate any suggestion. thanks
I would also like any info offered on this topic

From what i read, they make it even harder to get ad hoc to work under jelly bean.. thats why the usual wpa_supplicant replacement has not wrk. But that doesnt mean it impossible, cabn ayof the experts comment more? Any chance this can b fixed?
So no hope so far that jelly bean can be hacked to work with ad hoc?
I am trying to also get ppp widget to work with my phone. but even if i get this working, this method would use up the nexus battery much faster. So wifi tether still better. No chance we can ever get ad hoc to work on jelly bean? ;(

my vibrant and laptop is able to see the network and connect but the tablet doesnt even see it...
any ideas how i might go about fixing this?
look up an ad hoc wpa file for it

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.
First off, my laptop works fine with my phone's ad-hoc tether, but i want to use internet on my psp and vita later down the road as well when i need it, but i can't find any way to tether my X10 other than in ad-hoc mode, which is not supported by most consoles/handhelds.
i found a few guides but it wouldn't work. Would either not broadcast anything or do ad-hoc mode with various apps.
Any way to tether X10 in infrastructure mode instead of ad-hoc?
Ok, so i tried everything and only phone's native tether (under settings, stock ROM latest updates) gives infrastructure, or at least what seems like it, problem arises when i want to access internet and get DNS server error... there are pretty much no settings to mess with there so i am at a loss really. USB tether gives no internet to my laptop either over the native tether under settings.
wireless tether for root users does however work perfectly, but only in ad-hoc mode. The beta version people use on different phones (change device profile select one of the master methods and go) to get infrastructure instead of ad-hoc doesn't work at all, i haven't tried all profiles but on few i tried even though app says tether is on no devices see it, SSID broadcast set to ON.
So any ideas? Could it be provider nonsense? i bought it second hand and it seems to have been unlocked from Orange, but ROM doesn't seem to have all the bloatware from Orange(just news and traffic pretty much) without that I wouldn't even have noticed that it is from Orange.
Would flashing a different ROM help? could it be Orange's ROM is blocking it? Otherwise i might need a new phone
Android isn't able to detect ad-hoc network. There is a program called "connectify" to make discoverable version of ad-hoc for android devices

I want to tether my ps vita and my laptop to my SE xperia X10. i use tether app on my phone to share phone's internet with my console and laptop when i am not home.
also on my laptop i got intel's my wifi app that allows me to rebeam/share internet which is sufficient for my need on my laptop, though thanks for the tip
problem is making my phone tether in infrastructure and not ad-hoc mode. i gone in as much depth as i can about it in the last post, though if you need any more info i'd be glad to provide it if it would help to find a solution...
It is just a stock Xperia X10 with all official updates and rooted... 2.3.3android 2,1,71baseband.
would using a different rom help?

[ROM] Wolfs TW Gingerbread | Feel the difference | V7b6 [stable] | 03/12/2011
^ This rom supports infrastructure mode tethering.
I am in the same boat as you friend but I want a different custom rom. I have upgraded my touchpad to ICS which has no support for ad-hoc networks.
I was using the stock rom above for awhile which supported infrastructure mode which was working perfectly but in my world I want to stick with Miui on my x10.
I updated the wifi teather app on the miui rom to the newest one and was playing with the different setting for different devices. I was able to get the tether app to start in master mode with some of the settings for other devices but I was never able to get the touchpad to fully connect to one of these networks. I had it connect briefly when I put a static ip matching the settings on the wifi tether app but it would not make any internet connection.
If we have the ability in a stock rom, why can't it be ported?
Hi all,
I just got my brand new Samsung Galaxy SIII
All is well except for the fact that the phone is failing to even detect the adhoc wifi that I've setup. I get my home's internet using a mobile cdma usb modem and I've setup an adhoc wifi connection thru internet sharing option in windows 7.
Here's a twist though: When using my Ipod Touch- I noticed that the Ipod manages to detect the same adhoc wifi network I've setup- the Ipod also manages to connect to the network but fails to provide any internet. (from windows 7)
Oddly enough- the only way I can get adhoc wifi to work is when I use it on my Ipod from Linux Ubuntu. I cannot connect to adhoc wifis from either windows 7 or linux on my SGS3.
Is there any way I could get my SGS3 to detect and connect to the adhoc wifi from either windows 7 or Ubuntu with the mobile internet that I use at home??
Bump. Anyone??
Android's Wifi manager by default does not detect or use adhoc networks.
There exist several patches (requires root) but I'm not sure if they have been confirmed to work/ported to the S3 yet.
CM9 should include adhoc support.
I strongly recommend using the Windows7 application 'Connectify' which creates a full-fledged ap-mode network and not an adhoc while still allowing you to keep connected to any current Wifi network.
I guess similar tools might exist for OsX and Ubuntu Linux but I've only used them in forward tether and not reverse tether so far.
By the way, this is a forum not a support center. So it might take some time to get a reply.
Bumping after 3 hours is just rude seeing that we all try to work together for free

Thanks for the clarifications and suggestion. I finally managed to share my usb internet using mhotspot , so it's all good now. Now it's time to root this ***** and go app-freaking-crazy

This issue is ICS Related, I had the Galaxy nexus for 6 months, i tried every solution that is out there with no luck, hopefully CM will include this fix or else use "Connectify" which personally I don't recommend.

If you haven't tried it already- then I suggest you try disabling your antivirus when you share the network. That's what I did in the end to finally make it work.
Hi,
I created ad hoc connection on my Windows 7. But my galaxy s3 can't detect it.
I tried both using Wi-Fi Direct feature, and regular WiFi. But S3 doesn't see that ad-hoc connection.
Why ? Anyone was able to do that ?
Regards,
Pawel
Most Android phones can't see Ad-hoc connections due to limitations (too many issues) in the underlying Linux library and service.
CM9 can see and use it just fine, and there is a fix for most other phones.
Roughly 9% of all computers are capable of running the network card in Host-mode and not only adhoc, so try using Connectify which builds a true Wifi accesspoint.
If it's only to share data between the phone and computer, you can afaik also use the Wifi AP in the phone to connect both.
I've been trying every fix I can find for S3 but everything breaks the Wifi connection, so does anyone know any way to get it working? Because obviously you can setup most routers not to use Ad Hoc but I tried to tether to some Symbian phones but they can only create an Ad Hoc connection.

Most routers actually WONT use ad-hoc unless specially configured to do so. And many don't even know the concept of mesh networks =)

Test if the following (still) works:
http://acetips.wordpress.com/2011/10/07/reverse-wifi-tethering/
It uses your phone's full-fledged Wifi AP to reverse-tether to another phone.
However it requires a somewhat complicated setup on your Symbian phone which I'm not sure it can handle.
Alternatively you need an extended wpa_supplicant binary to handle ad-hoc.
I'm not sure if any good ones exist, except for CM9. (Which might/will be incompatible with Stock ROM's)
You can use connectify for windows to create connection in the form of Access point
As far as I remember the Nokia N900 is the only one capable of that because it runs on Linux but no version of Symbian can do this because even custom Roms on there consists of basic file swapping and no real system access, and I did used to use Ad-Hoc enabler but that does just kill the Wifi connection now, and they removed that from the market now because they say they updating it hopefully for ICS.
Connectify has one drawback. You can't share 3g/4g connections on the PC, unless you have a premium version.
VirtualRouter doesn't work on my system for unknown reasons. It says service not started, even when it actually is.
I tried VirtualWifiRouter from wwwDOTvirtualwifirouterDOTcom. Seriously good..
I have my HTC Desire, on which i have a large data bundle which i can use. I created a wifi hotspot from this phone using Barnacle and Wifi Tethering from OpenGarden.
I create the hotspot (tried both apps), and i can see it from my pc, but i cant see it from my SGS3?
Any help?
Give this a bump to see if anybody can help.
Thanks
Final bump, hope somebody knows why the SGS3 cannot pick up wifi hotspots from other phones.
If the other phone makes Ad-Hoc access point the S3 can't access it and so far it's impossible to make S3 use Ad-Hoc.

wow scary
But isn't possible to modify the wpa_supplicant like it has been done for other versions of android ?
I read that the trick was to make the wpa_supplicant "think" the ad-hoc was infrastructure.
Every method so far kills the Wifi connection so you'll have to wait.
Thanks for the feedback. Did not know the SGS3 would not be able to connect to ad hoc wifi hotspots..
Any idea why they went this route?
Because Android by default does not support mesh networks (also called adhoc).
The reason it that wpa_supplicant's adhoc support is badly broken while adhoc networks consist of a complex peer-to-peer protocow withoue central infrastructure: insecurity, slowness and stabiliy issues are the consequences.
Only a few phones have adhoc support in a Rom with, afaik, all these roms being aftermarket
Are you sure your HTC phone is not capable of AP-mode wifi?

My HTC Desire is rooted, so i did some googling and found out that wifi tether can be used and will simulate an infrastructure hotspot.
Now my SGS3 can see the hotspot, but its not connecting properly. Keeps getting stuck on the message "Obtaining IP address" so i am not sure if thats a problem on the HTC or SGS3 side.
Will do some fiddling today.
