Has anyone found a practical use for this? I have tried extensively to use it to send files to/from my Nexus 7, but have had zero luck.

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 there!
I pump an ad-hoc WiFi signal from my office PC's network adapter, which works fine with my other devices. I would like to connect my Verizon Galaxy Note 2 to this hotspot but as we all know there is no native ad-hoc support.
What would be the easiest way to accomplish this? An app similar to the WiFi manager on the Archos 101?
My phone is rooted, rom Beans 4.1.2, unlocked bootloader, w/ Perseus kernel
And I realize this question has been asked before but so far I have not searched up the right answer, plus I can't freakin' post anywhere before I get to 10 posts lol. Long time visitor but now that I actually own my own Android device rather than just working on others, I figured I'd finally make an account.
Thanks in advance for the help
3rd Party Temp Workaround
Hey Guys,
So no responses eh? Anyway obviously I wasn't about to give up on my searching, but so far I have only had success with Connectify.
Its a third party application that shares your wired internet connection with your wifi adapter and pumps the signal. Basically it does exactly what ad-hoc is for but it can be seen by Android devices.
I am using the Lite version not the Pro and it has been working fine. But don't get me wrong I STILL WANT TO ENABLE AD-HOC. I am still searching for a way to do this but in the meantime I figured I'd post this info in case anybody else is still trying to do this as I am. I Googled earlier and the second listing that came up was this Q&A thread I posted, so I figured if somebody else Googled the same thing and came to this thread I didn't want them to leave empty-handed.
So if anybody has any info on how to make ad-hoc networks visible on the Note 2 please let me know, but until then using Connectify can have you set up and saving 4G data in a few minutes.
I can't speak to using this on the note, but I used adhoc switcher from the play store on an early lenovo tablet that for some reason could only tether to a phone as adhoc. The app had a ton of settings so I am betting you could make it work in this situation.

Having no wifi here at the present moment (and honestly not wanting it), I have a bluetooth USB stick for my XP computer. My hope was to tether my Hisense Sero Pro 7 to it and surf the internet in this manner. I was able to pair the devices successfully, but not able to find a way to get the Sero Pro on the internet from this connection. Also, I noted that, even if I was just going to transfer files, I was not having luck just tapping the Bluetooth button in the notification tray and pulling anything down. I only get the Quick Settings menu. My questions are:
Can I bluetooth tether and use my desktop's hardwired internet connection access on the Sero Pro 7? If so, what are the steps after they are paired?
What am I doing wrong, so that I cannot get the bluetooth screen to drop down so that I can exchange files? It is just a tiny icon.
BTW... I also noted that the software button I am supposed to slide to turn bluetooth on and off is very hard to get to work. Anyone else have this issue. So far, I am unimpressed and frustrated. I have 7 more days to take it back to Walmart, and am truly considering it.
I searched for answers to this, but did not find anything.
Well, one more thing... Can software such as Virtual Access Point create an infrastructure access point on my computer (with a wifi stick)? I read here that an ad hoc wifi connection will not work with androids.
Also, thanks for all of the wonderful posts I have read here. I decided to go with the Sero Pro 7, based mostly on what I have been reading in this forum. Please count me in as mentioning that this tablet needs its own forum.
Thanks in advance!

I have just exhausted PIA's tech support and still neither the PIA vpn client nor openvpn seem to work properly on my i9100. They both install just fine, and seem to connect, but I check and my IP address is the same as it was before, and then I go to the PIA site and it confirms that I am "not protected". I have tried different ports and checking a variety of settings (hopefully not all of them) and nothing so far.
Is anyone else using PIA on the i9100 with CM12.1? If yes were you able to get PIA up and running first time or was there something you had to do?
Anyone else that has thoughts about how to get this going would *really* be appreciated!
Nothing? Please, I have been trying to get this to work for weeks now, no luck, anyone using Private Internet Access VPN successfully yours thoughts would be appreciated if you had any experiences even remotely similar to mine.
I've searched the p30 pro section but couldn't find any info on this. If I've missed this I'm truly sorry!
On my local nas server I'm getting kinda slow transfer rates when using many different file explorers (with or without smb2. 0) from the market. The fastest I could find was doing about 12 MBps on my asus rt-ac68u 5G wifi. With the stock app transfer speeds are at least 5 times faster (about the maximum possible over my wifi connection)
Does anyone know why this is, or has anyone got a file manager working that isn't this slow? For the moment I'm using the huawei manager for large file transfers but It's interface is really primitive imho.
