Hi,
I got an sgs (jvb 2.3.3) and i travel a lot with a friend who got one too (jpk 2.2.1). We play a lot on starfront collision but it requiers to be on the same wifi network to host/join. We tried to use the mobile access point to be able to play but the creator of the access point is not part of the network.
Does there is a way to create an ad hoc wifi network between 2 sgs (or other phones )?
The only solution we found was to use an iCrap as access point so we can play.
Hope it is possible so we ll be able to play on train/car/or anywhere else without access point.

Some news:
It seems there is no app that can do ad hoc connections BUT some guys tried to make it possible.
http://code.google.com/p/adhoc-on-android/
Basically this is a little addon like our wpa_supplicant but this one does ad hoc connection.
It needs tiwlan.ini to run (which is provided) but our SGS does not support that kind of configuration.
To sum up:
It is possible to create ad hoc connections on android using this stuff.
It doesnt work on SGS (everything starts fine but because of tiwlan.ini it does nothing)
Any ideas?
I dont know if it is possible to re-configure the wireless card using android terminal (just like we do on linux) to create an ad hoc connection but I will try to investigate this way.
On my HTC Magic cyanogen ROM allows ad hoc usage.
On stock Google Android, it's disabled (you can do it but not easily ...)
Perhaps you could ask in the Cyanogen thread if ad hoc is working for the SGS.

Hi All,
I've made a program supporting all originally supported wifi protocols as well as WPA/WPA2 enterprise protocols. This program can be used to set up connection with wireless networks using enterprise protocols.
What you need to do is to select proper protocol/authentification methods. Provide certification files if you have them. You can put certs files anywhere in your SD card. Then click OK.
You need to disable your wifi and re-enable it. Root is required.
Please visit my blog for more updates: http://fredzhung.blogspot.com/
** THIS IS NOT WELL TESTED, But works for Purdue University. (WPA ENTERPRISE WITH THAWTE_PREMIUM_SERVIER certs.)**
[UPDATE MAY-11] 1.0.2 RELEASE
ADDED SUPPORT FOR AD-HOC!
Added support for memorizing all configurations.
Need some test.
[EDIT] v0.2 RELEASE.
fixed a bug connecting to open network.
added support for anonymous indentity in EAP
added help/about
added input validation
changed icon
If this Wifi Helper doesn't work with your company's/school's wifi settings, please provide me your wifi setup so I can figure out what's wrong.
There seem to be a bug that first time run will hang. Close the program when the "force close" window pops up. Then run it again. Add the program to superuser list when asked.
This seem to be a bug for all applications requiring root access in android 1.5. I tested with terminal emulator and it has the same bug as well. Something is wrong with superuser program.
The app is uploaded to Market. Have fun!
Using this to access wifi on campus
Hi
I am a novice at all this root stuff so my questions is straightforward
a) If i buy a G1 (not rooted etc) and install this application from the market, i should be able to access my campus wifi? This is one reason why I am still using the iphone (unlocked on tmobile).
b) Is this likely to work even after the 1.5/cupcake transition that seems to be imminent?
Thanks
ps I am at LSU and here are some of the wifi details for the campus:
http://grok.lsu.edu/Article.aspx?articleId=8198
Hi, if you buy a g1 from store, you need to root it first before using this app. totorials for rooting your phone can be found on the sticky threads.
After you root your phone and use this app, you should be able to connect to your campus wifi. This is the purpose of this app.
May 11: 1.0.2 is released. Available in market
Hey zhang!
Great work, but i am having problems getting the ad-hoc to work.
It's been setup on my laptop and i have tried w/WPA & open to no avail.
The phone does not seem to detect the network.
I'm running 1.5 JF ADP.
Any thoughts as to what i might be doing wrong?
And thanks for the ad-hoc capability, been waiting on that one
Sean
Hi Sean,
I've been doing experiments with adhoc, I am not 100% sure adhoc will work. I will keep trying.
Great, great, great job!
I'm gonna buy the pro one, just as a "thank you"..
It seems it won't even detect my adhoc network
Hi. I use the free version (will buy it if it actually works) but I can't seem to even detect my adhoc networh. I use the ICS on XP laptop. I setup an open network with no encryption for the test but the G1 doesn't detect it (it sets it up and says it's unavailable, thus allowing me only to "forget" it). Do I have to change anything else on my device (for example the tiwlan.ini) so my device actually shows those elusive adhoc networks. Has anyone actually succeeded to setup properly an adhoc connection on G1 ever with any kind of software or is it like the UFO - we hear it exists but we've never actually seen it?
I cna't get it to work on my university's WPA2 Enterprise with a 'GTE CyberTrust Global Root' certificate (with extention cer).
I'm using a Vodafone Magic
I am also having a problem with a WPA2 enterprise setup.
It is a eduroam network.
On my computer I have entered the following setup in wicd:
encryption: PEAP with TKIP/MSCHAPv2
identity: my username
password: my password
In the wifi list (in the android system menu) the eduroam network shows as "Not in range, remembered"
I have another problem with the app itself: "Modify configurations" does not work. This makes it a hassle to try different encryption settings.
I know the network also works with PEAP with GTC, but don't know how to set that up.
Where did this go? It's no longer on the market. I can't find it anywhere!
Yeah, I was looking for this app and can't seem to find it anywhere. It disappeared. Does anyone have the apk?
Boogy
Try WiFi Buddy...free and works great.
All you had to do was go to his site...

Internet Tethering over USB? Is that something that was added with 1.6 or is that Eclair functionality? I notice it is in the CyanogenMod latest builds.
How does it work in comparison to bluetooth or wifi tether?
Does it require root?
TIA
What do you mean work in comparison, it's wired and the others are wireless. Speeds shouldn't depend on connection.
If you install cyanogen's build, then you have root so it shouldn't matter as you have it already. There is an application wired tether for root users, name explains.
I don't think it is in the AOSP build, so it was added by him or whoever he gives credit to.
There are 2 different Tethers for root users
Wired - Means u gotta connect your usb to your computer
Wireless - This will create an Ad Hoc wireless connection to your computer (no cable required)
This was added by cyanogen and is not part of eclair

What I was originally asking I guess was if the Wired USB tethering was now standard issue in Android 1.6 or 2.0 and as such was available to non-root users. From your response, I understand that is incorrect, and that wired tethering via USB was added by CM in the CM builds and therefore implicitly requires root.
Thanks for clarifying that for me!
If you wanted a non rooted version, search the market -there are several that don't require root.
so...
how is this done exactly on cyanogens rom? i cant find anything about it after searching for about an hour...

Yeah me and some people on another thread figured it out......
But first things first you need Windows XP service pack 3 or Windows Vista or Windows 7... I dont know about Mac.....
but Windows Xp is different than Vista or 7 because you need to download HTC sync to get the drivers for your G1 to be reconized as a modem..... Do not mount your G1..... once you have HTC sync installed you do not need to run it..... but now when you connect your G1 just check the internet tethering box and it should work(unless I missed a step)...
OK With Vista and Windows 7 the drivers are preloaded into the OS s do NOT need to download HTC synce... You just need to connect your phone do NOT mount and check the tehtering box... it should work....
is there a certain version for the G1 that I need?
Reverse tether g1 to pc network over usb cable
My android os is CyanogenMod 4.2.14.1,
1.Enable "Settings\Wireless controls\Internet tethering"
2.Install HTC Remote NDIS based Device driver(View attachment 277122)
3.Set the HTC adapter as: IP:192.168.2.1, Mask:255.255.255.0
4.Set the PC ethercard as shared connection
5.Run these codes in terminal:
su
ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
busybox route delete default
iptables -F
iptables -F -t nat
busybox route add default gw 192.168.2.1
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
setprop "net.gprs.http-proxy" ""
6.Now your g1 could open browser to view any web pages on the internet, and update apps in the Market.

just wanted to say that
This works on Nexus One as well!
The routing stuff disuse posted, I mean.
The only problem is that I can't download stuff from the market yet. But hopefully I'll find a solution to this soon.
Thanks a lot! I've been looking for this for like a whole week.
I think I'll write an app which will just run this as a shell script.
thanks again!
XBOX PS3 Wii anyone????
can someone please tell us or provide a step-by-step on how to have gaming consoles tether the device's web connectivity...or in other words how to make my xbox 360 connect to the web by tethering my device's internet....PLEASE PLEASE...I SWEAR I BUY BEER...I BUY BEER !!!

Sure, I've seen before two attempts of reverse tethering with this approach with the same problem: Play Store stays "Downloading" or "Waiting for network" but It doesn't work. I've tried also my own method with the same results: Play Store is not working.
I think this has something to do with the way Play Store app is testing for Internet conectivity. Since it doesn't know if you've got one, it doesn't let you download nothing.
Maybe there is some Android SDK API call to flag the system that Internet connection is up? Any other clue?
Hi,
Let's say I want to check, who's connected to my hotspot. I've searched for an application or terminal commands that can show this info, but didn't find anything. Is there such a thing?
Thanks,
William.
Good question, I'm interested as well.

i never tried to monitor wifi hotspot clients but i think these ways should work.
way 1:
goto terminal, type:
arp -a
this command displays all entries, since the wifi connection actually makes the phone a router, so all connected clients should have corresponding arp entry.
way 2:
goto market and download Network Discovery application, use it to scan the whole network. Also it provides port scanning function too.
(but .. this application usually crashes on my phone after scanning for long time)
Interesting, thanks. I'll test and reply.
Tested, even the basic "busybox arp" with no switches works. The result needs to go through grep or use "specify interface" switch to avoid showing the 3G data IP.
I suppose that access control has to be implemented in the kernel, so I won't mess with it - but now I have a script line to see, who's connected. Thanks
And one day someone could write a widget for it. At least modify the on/off widgets to show the number of connected clients.
Any more news on this? The network discovery app kind of worked, but it had to use wifi which disabled tethering.
I think there has to be a way to see who is connected to your hotspot at one time without disabling anything.
The Palm Pre Plus on Verizon does this automatically. There are a lot of features that phone has that I wish android would impliment...Man it would have been nice if google had bought palm

Is that news?
You want an app/widget for that? There is none. I've turned to the creator of the "hotspot widget" and asked him to implement counter for connected clients (which should good enough for anything I can think of), but I got no answer. I also tried to find any open-source code for such widget to modify and add the functionality, but didn't find any.
The older Eclair CM build had such app for manual control, showing MACs of connected clients.
I dont think the stock froyo tethering implements this but the wired/wireless tether apps included in 2.1 roms has the function, mac address filtering too =D
Hey guys,
Does anybody know if WiFi Direct is working on gingerbread?
I can't find a cooked ROM with this capability.
Wifi cast lite
There is a work around for this called WiFi Cast Lite ...just Google it and you can find it ....just like WiFi direct you need this app in both the devices to do the transfer....
The process is to enable hostspot on one device and connect to that hotspot using the other device and you are connected....then u can use the app to transfer the files ....

FC on HTC Explorer everytime
Totinsky, WiFi Direct was officially implemented by Android in ICS, but it sucks huge lemons and it crashes the phone all the time. WiFi Direct was finally stabilized in Jelly Bean (thanks to a certain little company). There is no official support in anything pre-ICS, I'm sorry to say. On another note, if you happen to get JB, we are building a proximity P2P file sharing app that uses WiFi Direct. The app is called Drop, and it is a simple, fast, and secure way to share files with people/devices in proximity. We are going into a limited Private Beta soon, so if you're up for the challenge, (and running Jelly Bean) then sign up at www.get-drop.com. Seats are limited, and we have a rolling enrollment, so check it out.

why dont you use encrypted VPN instead?

wht is that how to use it????
well..
it is in the Wireless settings section. i guess you should use L2 IPSec.
briefly: have to set up a VPN server/connection point at home or wherever, and you'll connect to that from anywhere given that there's an open outbound port to the internet where you are currently. than a connection will be built up creating a "tunnel" through which your packets will be transferred to the VPN host where itt could be routed and NAT-ed to the internet unrestricted.
adding IPSec or other methods of encryptions will make your connection secure.
i've never tried it on my phone but since its based on linux it must be the same way as at desktop system.
you should check documents and howtos on the internet and check for apps at Market if the androids builtin is not satisfying!
