[Q] ad-hoc wifi on Galaxy Note - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'd like to share my 3G access on Nokia E71 to my Galaxy Note.
On the E71, there is a software to share the network over ad-hoc wifi connection. (Joikuspot)
But as far as I know , wpa_supplicant on Galaxy Note does not support ad-hoc.
Is there a modified wpa_supplicant which supports ad-hoc for Galaxy Note ?
p.s: this method is working on my previous phone Dell Streak
Thanks.

hi,
I've found one wpa_supplicant on another forum. but that doesn't work. (wifi can't go enabled)
is there no wpa_supplicant suitable for Galaxy Note ?

any interest in this ?

Have u try barnacle wifi tether?
I exactly dont remember but it was barnacle or wireless tether that i hav used on sgs, that i think support ad hoc

I'd like to use default system settings, not a 3rd party app.
So a wpa_supplicant would be lovely.
where can we find one ?
maybe something for SGS II would do...
ok; I got it from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115610
works fine...
attaching here if anyone needs.
just have to manually configure DNS (or put a /etc/resolv.conf with nameservers)
but I already did that to support VPN connections.

I tried this method and copied the file you gave but did not work. The wifi is still working fine but not ad hoc. Do u have any idea why?
disregard that, it worked perfectly. Thanks

hey.. with your file i was able to detect my wifi hotspot (connectify) that i made on my laptop (win 7). but its is not connecting. it just shows searching for ip address. i dont know the configuration for ip settings (in wifi settings/advanced in phone). i dont think i have static ip either for my internet. im trying to share a wireless data card connection (mts mblaze). what should i do? what settings should i put in ip settings in the Note (ip address, dns1,dns2 etc..)

I found the application Wifi Ad Hoc enabler on the market and it worked grate for me, now i can see any ad hoc and connect normally

I'd like to know about this as well.
it seems I can see my adhoc connections but I CAN'T Connect to them. Any help would be nice.

w w w .hackillusion.com/ how-to-enable-ad-hoc-wireless-networks-on-samsung-galaxy-note/
it worked for me well

Can anibody founded a solution for adhoc wifi connection?

is the above links solution not working for u?

No, above solution is for GB ROM only, on newer ROMs (ICS&JB) it's not working. I know in Windows 7 there is a solution with virtual (or soft) AP, but in Windows XP it's not a solution, because XP has no support for softAP, only ad-hoc networks (so programs like Connectify or mhotspot, VirtualRouter, etc. NOT works.) At my office i have only Windows XP & ad-hoc network, and this is why i need working ad-hoc mode on my Note.
So, up to now, i tried at least 10 modded wpa_supplicant file on my Note, and none of them worked. Some of them had blocked WIFI on Note, others had worked, but don't seen the ad-hoc networks (like the original wpa_supplicant), so i think maybe the problem it's not only wpa_supplicant related. I found an ICS ROM (ICS_Stunner) which claims that has support for ad-hoc connections, but i didn't tried out, because its outdated (i only extracted the wpa_supplicant file from ROM and tried on my current JB rom, but didn't works).
So i think we need a good developer who can resolve this...

now there is a cream & cookies JB rom from the sam developer of ICS Stunner. If stunner had it.. it should be in this rom as well. worth a try i would say.

Hi, i'm not a connectify user but,
Sound like a connectify issue on your PC or firewall (http ports, pop and smtp are ok by default). Check your conf/firewall part. Try to enable all ports needed.

Because you need some specific ports to be open like the 5228.
i shut down firewall completely. but galaxy doesnt download from market.
blade can download from market without any issues.

Problem w/wifi tethering after install Gingerbread

Hi Forum,
I cannot get my Sprint tab to see my phone after installing Gingerbread. My computer can see the phone and connect it, but the tab won't. Before Gingerbread, I was able to scan and connect to my phone and tether just fine. I tried diff. wifi tethering app. Currently use Barnacle. My tab is not rooted, but that should not be a problem.

I'd have to say, untie your WIFE.. and then worry about wifi..
thanks!
I was in a hurry! Fixing the wife issue is going to be a lots more difficult.

which version of GB do you have installed? Is it the stock sprint update? Have you tried the WPA supplicant fix for it yet?
I using Sprint OTA Gingerbread, 2.3.4. Build number EF17. I have not tried the WPA supplicant fix. I did not have problem with this issue on Froyo. I will research on this. I would like some tips if you got them. Thank you !
I found a link on the issue, but require root. I am reluctant to take this step. It is not that I don't know how to use Odin, but removing root is a pain.
Here is the link to WPA supplicant if any interested.

from everything i've read, you won't be able to connect to ad-hoc mode wireless (most wifi tether apps) without the wpa supplicant patch. you might look into a wifi tether app that will do infrastructure mode to get that working again.
@ pvtjoker42,
Thank you for the tip. I did some further research and the Wifi Tether app works in infrastructure mode too. If any one interested, here is how you do it. Choose device profile- I chose Samsung Galaxy S. I also tested Samsung Galaxy Indulge. Under Setup-Method, choose Softap ( master). Now your Samsung Tab will see the phone. This app drains battery like no tomorrow, much more than Barnacle.

[Q] wifi infrastructure mode

Anyone got anything working for this ?
I've tried wifi tether for root users
and lots of others.
Nothing allows for infrastructure. Even tried 3GHotspot.zip and Black Hat zip .
Any help ? Anyone got this working ?
Check themes and apps threads.. if you want to tether to Windows or Linux or another android device only way is wifi tether v3 beta 4 or higher enable mss clamping in settings and you can tether using ad-hoc but that is about it. Is this what you are trying to do??

I'm trying to connect my tablet to share my 4G.
Tablet only connects in infrastructure, not adhoc.
If I can fix on my phone ie add infrastructure, then I'll be ok. Otherwise I'll need to root and mess with the files on my tablet

You might have better luck finding a thread for your tablet and finding out how to change the wpa_supplicant so the tablet will detect an ad-hoc network. I used to have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" and had to find a patch and replace the wpa_supplicant (after rooting) so it could detect and connect to my android phone. What kind of tablet?
Only other thing I can think of is install the Verizon Hotspot app and pay for tethering.. that is infrastructure as far as I know.

[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.

I create adhoc network from my laptop. other phone can see and connect it, but my MI3 cannot find that network. that problem cause by miui rom or hardware of Mi3?

that is normal. android phones usualy not support ad hoc points.
only if it is change in android rom. it must be change in kernel and rom.
( cyanogenmod by default made that. in older roms 2.3-4.0) for my sony xperia mini pro and galaxy s+)
ad hoc is old tipe of sharing connection over laptop wifi routuer
you can make acces point and it will work if your laptop router is 802.11b/g/n
