Can we connect to Ad-Hoc Wifi with this device? Is there any mods or apps we can use? Thanx in advance!!!
I just figured out that Android doesn't support Ad-Hoc WiFi . Too bad though, well topic closed

Not so fast, I found an app, that claims to be working. Here: https://market.android.com/details?id=nl.arendmedia.wifiadhocenabler
However, you need root access to use it. There are some other methods of enabling ad-hoc wifi, Google is your friend

z4root was pulled from the AT&T market over the weekend.
You can check this out: ponack.net (can't link cause I'm new here, sorry)
Gives you rooting instructions and (if wanted) instructions for installing the Cognition ROM...of course you can substitute your fav ROM instead.

I have actually tried using the z4root but yes it has been pulled from the market.. i actually have it on one of my phones but im not sure how to transfer it... you can share apps but the link is always invalid...
I use Google's wi-fi tether app. I just download the latest version from the interweb and install. Of course I am rooted and have sideloading fixed.

Download the Samsung one click root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304&page=25 and download google's Wifi tether app or Barnacle wifi from market. If you can't find it in the market, you can use Market Enabler from the market to fool the market into thinking you are on TMobile.
Anything new on the tether without a root. Can't seem to find any of the programs that people talk about.
Thanks
dont mean to hijack but it has to do with captivate tethering..
i have assonance 5.2 and have tried tethering to my pc. seems to work but what i am really looking for is a way to tether and use my PC'S connection on my PHONE so i dont have to dwindle my data plan. ive been looking for a while actually on how i could 'reverse tether' but i guess im blind.
i know, its unbelievable isnt it?
Are you trying to tether from a laptop or pc
From a phone

yea it should b possible but not very usefull since most pc's connect through wifi anyways so it would probely b more efficient to use wifi on your phone through your home network by installing a wireless router unless you are hard wired in which case u would need some kind of mobile hotspot type of program using wifi or bluetooth also usb of some sorts
problem solved with the newest version of connectify.
edit: well, my problem anyways.
Hello everyone,
I just received my Asus Transformer (WiFi Only) and wanted to connect it to my Nexus S portable hotspot.
The Transformer found the hotspot network and even connected to it but I wasn't able to open web pages or even sync my google account.
I tested this on 2 Transformer units, Galaxy S II phone and a Nexus One (with CM7 which also can't generate a working hotspot network).
After several tests I've discovered every ROM that has Ad-Hoc support behaves the same - generate hotspot network that you can connect to but can't actually use. Also tested all WiFi tether apps on Market - all beacon ad-hoc networks, which Stock Android 3.1 can't find&connect to.
I tested all Ad Hoc supported ROMs: CM7 latest nightly, CM7.0.3 stable, MIUI latest, Oxygen and SupeAosp8.6. Finally flashed a stock 2.3.4 ROM and the hotspot feature worked perfectly. Also tested it on both Nexus S radios (KB3 and KD1).
Would love if someone can locate and fix this bug...
Probably something in the wpa_supplicant file or with DNS resolving.
Thank you!
EDIT: A solution for my specific issue - Will allow Ad Hoc support on the Transformer.

Still won't solve the main issue when you have to root and add Ad Hoc support for both devices.
I also encountered this problem.
What I did was download an App called: Wireless Tether for Root Users
I would use it anyway because it tracks data usage and enables security options.

Thanks for replying.
As I wrote in the OP, I've tried every WiFi tether app on the Android Market, including wifi tether for root users. All uses adhoc networks which stock Android devices can't see and connect to.
what solves it for me is adding dns host ip on the client computer
it works fine when you do that
I use PDAnet for tablets with my TF - it works really well. You can download it from the market.

You used it to connect your tablet to a hotspot network generated from your CM7/SupeAosp8.6, Oxygen or MIUI ROM?

Thanks, we did it as well on a Linux machine for testing but you can't set static IP on Honeycomb... at least not on stock version.
Regarding PDA for tablets, reading the app description on the Market I understand it uses Bluetooth sharing and not wifi tether. Also, it clearly says it only works for browser, email and YouTube apps. Hardly a solution.
I'll work with a Linux expert today to see if he can solve this. If so, I'll upload the files here.

Yes, I misread your op, hands up; I'm guilty as charged. However, you should perhaps be a little less dismissive of people trying to help you. Also it may have helped if you had posted your question to the correct thread in the first place (that's hardly difficult is it!).

LOL did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?
I REALLY wasn't trying to dismiss you... AT ALL!
Your solution will probably be great for many other people but as I mentioned in the OP, I'm looking for a specific solution for the WiFi tether, which is an option coming with stock Android and doesn't require users of any other apps or system knowledge.
As already mentioned, I'm working with a linux guy to check maybe he can make both things work - Ad-Hoc and stock Android WiFi Tether option.
If the XDA moderators think this should go into Q&A/General they can move it. I believe it should be here as it is relevant for all ROM developers here.

I agree with you buddy. I am looking for some pure soul that can develop a patch so I can connect my rooted Nexus S to an Ad-hoc wifi computer connection...
Who wants to be the king?
I usually share my Internet connection through Connectify and my HD2 had no problems connecting at all. However I am unable to detect the signal even on my Gnote. Does anyone else have this problem?
Make sure there is an access point when u connect using connectify.

i m not able to even list the network on my note while i could use it on my nokia c7. would you plz help. i do i resolve this.
I have the very same problem over here. Can´t connect to my Intel My Fi Hotspot (which worked like a charme with my SGSII). I even don´t see a wifi list...
Simple as that, we're far away ahead in time (March 2013). Can I finally wifi tether from X8 stock rom and kernel to another phone? Barnacle did not work.
Thanks!

I put much effort into trying to find a solution to this, but there is none. The wifi tether apps, if supported by your ROM, can only work in ad hoc mode, meaning it can only be found by devices that support scanning and connecting to the ad hoc devices. These are typically laptops, and I think just a dozen mobile models actually do support this (and most of them are newer models).
The rest of the group only support searching for devices in infrastructure mode, like your home router. So until there is a way to convert the wifi tether mode to infrastructure instead of ad hoc, or perhaps make other mobile phones search for ad hoc devices, there won't be a wifi tether phone to phone. This may sound simple enough but perhaps there are some technical limitations to the issue which cannot be easily addressed. I'm not a developer so I cannot say.
Barnacle would allow a laptop to connect to your mobile phone's connection, so at the very least it's something that can be useful (it actually was for me a couple of times).
Phone to phone tethering is, as far as I know, not possible at the moment. If someone has information that confirms otherwise, then I stand reprimanded.

Thanks for your answer! It's a pity. But you say it is not possible to do phone to phone tethering only in stock ROM or in every other ROM?
Is there a ROM/kernel for X8 capable of phone to phone tethering?

It wasn't possible for me to unlock my bootloader, so I didn't investigate this any further. I can only tell you with certainty that stock kernel definitely doesn't support phone to phone tethering regardless of the ROM. However, given the limited information available about the issue, I think it is safe to assume Xperia X8 simply isn't capable of such a tether. Only ad hoc mode is possible. Some ROMs have it preinstalled, with some of the others you would have to download an app to allow it, but it's ad hoc mode still.
Don't waste hours on this like I did. Instead take your girlfriend or your friends out for a snack. Trust me, you'll have a much better time.
Cheers

Haha, exactly how I feel. From time to time I spend endless hours trying to solve android issues. That's sad.
Have we found a way to get Wifi Tether on ZV9 yet? Really disappointed that I cannot use Wifi Tether anymore. I used it on a daily basis.. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
I wish, sorry.

Thanks anyways. Just kinda sucks. That's basically the only reason I won't upgrade. I can live without my YouTube modules. Just not my tethering.
In case you didn't know you can Bluetooth Tether or USB Tether legally without anything special. Problem is Bluetooth is fairly slow. 1.5mbs up and down. But usable. If you need speed USB tether has no speed limit.
