Galaxy S as WLAN Switch device ? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am trying to find out if the Galaxy is able to work as a switching device in a WLAN.
With the WLAN Tethering its quite easy to use the Galaxy as a routing device for internet traffic of mobile devices without the possibility to connect to the internet by themselfs.
Now I am asking myself if it is possible to use the Galaxy to connect 2 (or more)mobile devices and use the galaxy as the wireless network switch.
Can the thetering also be used to make a wireless connection to a laptop for data transfer or other services like MyPhoneExplorer ? Is there somebody who has allready experience with this or knows an application which enable the galaxy to do so ?
The Lukester

Settings>Wireless and network>Mobile AP

should work but every modern wlan device should work unmanaged, ak without accesspoint

[Q] can't connect to a wifi

hi!
i was wondering, any of you can connect to an android phone running Barnacle? my SGT can't detect my mini pro's internet data connection (via Barnacle) but it doesn't have any problem connecting to my router or even to my laptop.
====
update:
just found out that the SGT can't connect to an adhoc network?
i've checked and said that the possible workaround is to change the "wpa_supplicant" but when i did replaced the existing "wpa_supplicant", i can't detect any wireless network.
anybody who knows a workaround?

Just delete all your wifi connections and turn of phone then turn on and work

This definitely works on the P1010. Read the post and you'll understand how it works. If not let me know. And I'll try to explain.

[Q] how to use adhoc wifi?

how to use adhoc wifi?how to use adhoc wifi?
As I know adhoc NOT supported
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
There is something called "wifi Direct" which might be another name for the same thing. Read about it in the user manual, which can be downloaded from Samsung in a pdf. Sorry no link.
If your trying to use the Adhoc to tether other devices to your Note to use it's data connection, then you go into your Settings -> Wireless and network -> Tethering and portable hotspot, enable this, set up a password if you wish, then you can connect to it via wifi now.
Does the phone see wifi adhoc?
Sorry to bring up this thread, didn't want to start a new one.
Now that many people own the nexus. Can someone tell me if the phone can connect to a wifi adhoc? To avoid misunderstanding, this is not the same as tethering phone's internet to other devices (that what's Wifi Direct is about, I think). This is the phone using internet from pc via adhoc wifi (for example using the program Connectify).
Thanks
There is a guide for galaxy s2, just google it (cannot post link), you need to change wpa_supplicant file
Worked for me
sorry for bringing it up again.
changed wpa_supplicant to the one from galaxy s2 and changed permissions. But didnt work for me!
Anyone got files for me so i can use adhoc wifi?
i really need it! thanks a lot guys

If you used this guide "Connect to adhoc Wireless Networks on your Galaxy S2 (SC-02C)" the is should work, maybe it depends on firmware, I have N7000XXKK5
well with this wpa_supplicant i can see the ad-hoc but i cant connect.
And although my note freezes if i use this one. isnt there one especially build for the SGN?
i have kernel N7000XXKK9
I don't understand, if you want to connect to a PC via wifi to use the PC's internet, then isn't it then down to setting the PC as the adhoc and connecting you phone via wifi as if it was connecting to an wireless router? Or Wi-Fi Direct (which is the phone connecting to other devices, not other devices connecting to the phone i.e. tethering)? Can anyone clarify what the issue is?

The issue is that, by default, the Nexus can't see adhoc wifi and therefore can't connect to it. You need to somehow modify wpa-supplicant to be able to see adhoc wifi.

Need best hot spot software

Hey guys,
I tried a lot of applications to turn my laptop into wifi hot spot like ConnectifyMe, mhotspot, and Wifi hotspot creator, & Virtual router but nothing is working fine. I'm unable to connect my Galaxy Note to wifi hot spot.
Please some one tell me which software is best to use for wifi. If it is free means very good. And the android mobiles should connect to it.

Are you able to connect other devices with your laptop hotspot??
What about vice versa ... does your laptop connects to Galaxy note wifi hot spot?
Here is someone have wrote. I forget the name of poster but i have copied it for my reference. Most probably it was by Ravindra
you can do without any SW
On you XP machine, Go into Control panel
Open “Network Connections”
Right click on “Wireless Connection” and click on “Properties”
Click on the “Wireless Networks” tab and select the check-box which says “Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings”
Under “Preferred networks” click “Add”
Type a name in “Network name” text box
Select “Shared” from the options under “Network Authentication”
Under Data encryption select “WEP” and type in your password in “Network Key” field and now click “OK”
Now the new HotSpot should show in the list of preferred networks.
Click on the “Advance” button and select “Computer-to-computer (ad hoc) networks only” and press close
Hit “OK”.
Now, you need to share the wired internet connection (LAN) so that your Galaxy Note now can access the internet connection through this HotSpot you just created.
For this, Go to local Area Connections, right click it and select properties
Go to the “Advanced” tab and under Internet Connection Sharing check the box which says “Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s internet connection” and make sure the box under that is NOT selected so that no one can disable the network remotely.
Hit “OK”
You are done. Now connect your Galaxy Note using your XP machine as a hotspot.
Hello Mr. Dr. Ketan,
Mine is not XP machine. The am using windows 7. I tried to make my laptop as wifi hotspot by the method u mentioned in the post but my G. Note is not recognizing the wifi. Not only mine I tried to connect in some other Samsung mobiles also but in that also same problem my wifi hotspot is not showing in those mobiles also.
Please tell me some other alternates.

I use the Bluetooth through PDA along with the network spoof I always choose spoof WiFi and just to see if it would use my WiFi from the phone I turned off all mobile data on my phone and it used the WiFi instead of my mobile data and to me seems to be pretty much faster than using the mobile data ....

So what your saying is, your using BT PAN linking your watch to your phone but you want to use WIFI instead of your cellular data for BT PAN? That works but only with certain BT PAN apps. If I understand your question correct.

Tethered via Bluetooth, using phones wifi instead of data. Works fine with international roms, but with some carrier branded ROMs, if tethering is enabled, wifi is disabled
Gear itself has no wifi, but apps can be tricked into thinking Bluetooth tether is actually a wifi connection via the network spoofer (closed framework module)

So we established there are no apps that will share the wifi internet via bluetooth and that the switching off of wifi during tethering is an automated function. So is there a way to prevent that auto-switch from occurring?
At any rate, if you have the galaxy note 3, and you have a USB 3.0 computer, just tether the internet from USB. Great for when at home, but the downside of this is: if you want to reverse tether from wifi in an airport or coffee shop, then a laptop is required. And at that point, what would you be doing on the watch, that isn't easier on either your phone or laptop, now that you're forced to already have those items out?
Therefore, it would be nice to tether wifi to bluetooth so I can just leave my phone in my pocket and not be forced to use mobile data when I don't want to.

Depends on rom. Most (if not all) international roms can use phone's wifi with Bluetooth tether
Spoofer Module?

Question Connect Phone to his own tethered network

Hi !
I have a S21 Ultra, and use it as a modem for my house with wifi tethering.
I can access my printer with my computer on this wifi network
But here is the problem : I can't access the device on this network from my phone.
I can't print from my phone,
I can't use app mirroring on Windows (open samsung flagship apps on W10 computer) because both S21 and computer have to be on the same wifi network.
Is there any way to make the phone part of his own wifi tethering ? Or workaround ?
Thanks !
no what your trying to do is hack someones phone....its not gonna happen!!!!

Don't understand your message... It's my own phone that doesn't detect itself in the wifi network list. I have no problem to connect network from one phone onto another. It is on the same phone, both emitter and receiver

I think you can try to make a hotspot on the PC and share wifi (from the phone) to the PC hotspot and connect the printer itself to the PC hotspot
Tethering is like connecting a modem to a device. Hotspot is creating a local wifi network for devices to connect to.
Tethering vs Hotspot: Difference and Comparison
Tethering allows a device to share its internet connection with other devices via a physical connection (such as USB), while a hotspot creates a Wi-Fi network to share the device's internet connection wirelessly.
askanydifference.com
Based on your description you are creating a hotspot on the phone that the laptop and printer connect to? If so then the phone cannot "join" that network as the wifi stack in the phone is being used to run a network and the phone has access to the mobile data network the wifi is representing.
No, only the computer connects to the phone.
but create a second hotspot on the computer that connects the printer to the computer

Your phone wifi module can either act as a broadcaster or receiver at a time, but not both. It will only handle one wifi network at a time, either the one it's broadcasting (endogenous mobile hotspot) or the one it's receiving (exogenous WiFi)
You can see this as a prompt when you turn on mobile hotspot. Whenever you turn on Wifi Hotspot, your WiFi will automatically get turned off. It will even display a notification and ask for your consent (at least mine does)
