[Q] can't connect to a wifi - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Wi-Fi Hotspot dosen't works

Hi all.
When i'm activate the portable wi-fi spot and try's to connect through it on my home pc it dosen't work.
on the phone is says that it working and every thing is good but my pc writes ''Without Internet Access''
do i need to install something on my pc?
i really need this.
Thx.
Do you have internet access on your phone?
Did you try restarting the PC?
You don't need anything installed.
I'm connecting to Wi-Fi network my phone finds and turns on the portable hotspot,
i'm not connecting to my operator network.
this can be the problem?
You can't share WiFi over WiFi. It should have been pretty clear... You didn't put attention that when you turn on the hotspot, your WiFi doesn't show "ON" anymore?
Well, in any case, that's why you see no internet connection.
You can use USB hotspot instead.
Ohh yeee.. now it works
Thx a lot for the help and the new information

[Q] Mobile AP not working?

I have flashed the latest 2.2 Cognition ROM, that enables Captivate to be used a wireless router. I can turn on the Mobile AP. My laptop is able to detect the wireless network and make connections to it. However, it only connects with limited connectivity and I will not be able to access internet from my laptop. I have both open and WPA2-PSK encryption, but neither of them works.
It seems that the laptop cannot get the wireless LAN address from the cell phone. Any solutions for that? Thanks for your help.
By the way, the USB tethering works totally fine.

This had been answered in the Cognation thread, The Mobile AP is a work in progress. Please search before opening a new thread.

[Q] Cannot use wifi tethering

Hello everybody, I've searched on the forum, but I cannot find a solution to my problem. When I try to connect my iPad or my MacBook to the internet through my SGS I cannot surf the web. I mean, I can connect to the SGS via the wifi connection but it looks like there is no internet connection.. I am on Darky 7.0 rom. Is there any kind of setting which I have to make to be able to get an internet connection? Thanks for your help
Yeah, same issue with me.

Hope somebody has a solution...
Do you have a weak signal? I noticed when my signal is weak i can connect but the internet doesn't work.
No the signal is at the maximum but there is no internet connection..
any help?
I'm also having the same problem on 7.5 and 7.6. Maybe bring this up in his thread?
Edit: Im in an area with HSDPA for data too, but when I switch to tethering via wifi or even USB, it doesn't switch to HSDPA. And it wont let me browse the net from a PC. Browsing within the phone works fine.
check your APN settings if they are correct
If my APN settings won't correct I wouldn't be able to browse from the handset itself, which I can do no problem. Its only when I tether.

[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

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.

Adhoc networking

Well I been helping my sick aunt and she doesn't have WiFi and my phone does not have service so I depend on WiFi. Well I tried to create an adhoc network and my phone sees the network but can't connect. I have heard tell that adhoc is not able to be connected too but searching around has not found an exact result. I have the CyanogenMod Mod 10.2 android 4.3.1 on my phone. I did see something about a WPA supplement fix. Is there a fix for this and if so how. Would be great to be put on the proper course. And I did search. But I didn't find a thread regarding this.

When you say you created an ad-hoc network, do you mean you are trying to have a laptop that is connected to a wired network broadcast its wi-fi so your phone can connect by wi-fi to the laptop (and thus the internet)?

Used my dlink dwa-130 USB dongle to create an adhoc network on a desktop computer. The desktop has a satellite connection. I was trying to share the connection from the desktop over the adhoc network to my phone with internet connection sharing. But my phone can't connect to the network but sees the security type and ssid.
