I have a badly cracked fascinate that I am using wifi only. I keep it in airplane mode with wifi and Bluetooth on. Running CM10.1 4.2.2.
I need to be able to connect this phone to an ad hoc network. So far all I can find is to get it to create one. How do I get this working?

I would like to be able to connect my phone to my galaxy 10.1 tablet (not to internet share) over wifi to enable me to use lazydroid's application to remotely view the phone screen on the tablet. I DO NOT want to share the internet to the tablet but want to maintain internet connection on the phone only.
I was thinking that this could be doable by setting up an ad hoc connection on the thunderbolt thereby allowing my tablet to connect to it but can't seem to get this to work while keeping the 3g/4g data network active. Does anyone have any help or suggestions?
Thanks!
I just got my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 WIFI version. I am able to connect to the internet smoothly with my home WLAN network. However, when I turn on the wifi hotspot from my mobile phone, the tab does not recognize it (WIFI analyzer can though). My Lenovo laptop can see it and connect via it to the internet, so the hotspot itself is working.
I am just wondering if connecting to wifi hotspot is really supported in the tab and/or Android 3.1?
Thank you for your advice in advance
Connecting to an "Access Point" Hotspot works fine, tested it with my Galaxy S. Maybe your phone opens an Ad Hoc network?
thanks. this seems to be right into the point. i use symbian phone running joiku, and it indeed seems to support adhoc mode only. so anyway to enable adhoc wifi connecting support in my tab?
Haven't tried it myself but it seems there is a patch in the development section which enables ad-hoc network detection/connection (Tab needs to be rooted): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123638
Thank you. Now I have managed to make the adhoc wifi connecting work by following the instructions behind the above link
Hey guys,
I am currently really desperately looking for a way to get Internet from my DSL-enabled Notebook to my Galaxy S2 and my Asus TF700T Tablet. I am in Finnland on a hotel so I don't have 3g here.
So the facts:
My Laptop has a Wifi Bigfoot Wirless n 1103 network card without Bluetooth.
First I tried to do is setting up a Virtual Wireless Hotspot which kind of worked, but only for a few moments. Got a connection on both devices but then the Hotspot somehow disappeared. Don't know why. Maybe it is due to the Network Card, which is built for good gaming performance over Wifi.
Anyone an idea whats wrong with my Virtual Wifi Hotspot?
Next thing I tried is to set up an Ad Hoc- Wifinetwork over the PC which kind of worked, but both Android devices can't see ad hoc networks and there seemed to be no working wpa_supplicant for jellybean. Both Android devices are on PAranoidAndroid 2.99 by the way and the Laptop is on Win 7.
Does anyone know a way to enable this to see Ad Hoc Wifi networks?
So next thing I tried is Tethering over USB with Android Reverse Tethering which worked for the Tablet but not for the Galaxy S2 for a reason I dont know.
So does anyone know, why it does not work on the S2?
Next I tried setting up a Wifi Hotspot on the Tablet with the app Wifi Tether which kind of worked, but unfortunately this is an ad hoc network which again my Galaxy S2 can't see.
Does anyone know an app that creates an infrasturctured Wifi Hotspot instead of ad hoc?
Then I tried setting up Bluetooth Tethering from Tablet to GS2 which I didn't got to work (Connection established but don't know how to get the Internet working then.
Anyone got an idea about this?
Anything else I could try?
I really didn't believe that this is so hard to do
On the most recent unofficial CM10.1 build. Had no problems with wifi tethering until last week - now I can't get the built-in to work and I can only get ad-hoc tethering on Wifi Tether.
My computer recognizes the ID of the wireless network on the built-in tether, but refuses to connect to it; on Wifi Tether the only way I can get it to work is on ad-hoc (computer won't even pick up broadcast name on any other type of network).
I've tried several different things (reinstalling ROMs both dirty and clean, factory reset) and nothing works. Help?
I have a Verizon fascinate with cm 10.1 on it and I need to enable ad hoc connections. This is not used as a phone, it is badly cracked and I have AT&T, but I use it in airplane mode with wifi and Bluetooth enabled. I need to be able to connect this to an ad hoc connection but the connection isn't even showing up in the available networks. I've read about wpa_supplicant but the only one I found broke wifi completely. I've also tried a ROM called Slim that was also 4.2.2 and that didn't work either.
Does anyone have any ideas?
