Hi All
I surf on internet to find someone with my issue but all the solution I tried did not work, so my situation is this:
I bought an S3 with Three mobile I unlocked so I can use different networks and I also update the S3 with official rom (4.2.1) using Odin hoping that this will make work the tethering but unfortunately the portable hotspot still not working which means the PC can connect to the Phone but the internet connection is not available, I tried to install some apps like foxfi but the issue still there, now I hope that here I can find some help
Thanks
Marco

i recently installed wmwifirouter on my phone so that i could turn my phone into a wireless router via my 3g connection. after installing it though i havent been able to connect to a wifi connection like i was able to do previously i was wondering if anyone can help me with this problem. i've tried uninstalling wmwifirouter however it hasnt been completely uninstalled and i still can't connect to wifi locations. i was wondering if someone could either help me get rid of wmwifirouter or help me to use it properly so that i can have it work like the program is supposed to and also use my phones wifi when i'm not using wmwifirouter.
I tried the router but it is slow and a battery killer.
Do this - write this text to the manufacturer support of the Wifi Router. I'm sure they'll help really fast their customers - it is a way of keeping business running - just by respecting the ones that buy their stuff
i've contacted wmwifirouter but they havent responded so i'm wondering if someone on here could help me because i would really like to have the ability back of using my wifi again
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.

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.
how to use adhoc wifi?how to use adhoc wifi?
As I know adhoc NOT supported

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.

Anyone got files for me so i can use adhoc wifi?

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.

Hi guys, I hope someone can help me out. the wifi and portable hotspot are not working. The wifi has not been detecting open or locked wifi networks. When I try to create a portable hotspot, the phone displays the word, Error. I have Tmobile and use T-zones for my internet. Currently I am still using the internet but it is being used via USB. I still have and use internet so its not that Tmobile cancelled my internet but its more like something is wrong with the actual phone parts or the software. I have tired flashing other roms but no luck. I am currently using Android 2.3.4 on cyanogenmod 7.1.0-RC1-IncS and also has S-off. The phone is unlocked and rooted. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

Try upgrading to cm 7.2.0
APN settings
No idea if this will work for you but it did for me. I am on t-mobile(UK). Wifi and tethering were both working fine for me until I rooted my phone and installed a custom rom. After going through loads of different options, I noticed that the APN had somehow changed when I rooted. (Settings>Wireless&networks>Mobile networks>Access Point Names)
For me the correct APN (general.t-mobile.co.uk) became general.t-mobile.uk after I rooted for no known reason. Adding the 'co' resolved the issue and everything started working again.
I would suggest searching the internet for your network's APN settings and having a look at the settings on your IS.
Good luck.
I tried both and none worked. Thanks for the suggestions. Any other ideas anyone?
Any one know if there is a new wifi software update? That or a hotspots update but I think they might be the same.

Your mom o clock
Hello guys,
I have a Galaxy S III Mini (i8190) with the official 4.1.2 ROM installed, i never installed a custom ROM on it and it was never rooter so: never modified,
The problem is that it is causing General internet Disconnects when it's connected to the WiFi. Not only the internet stops working on the phone, but also on all devices connected to the same router the internet drops.
I searched on several forums for a fix and some people suggested disabling "WMM" in router settings which works (the internet is stable); But i find WMM to be a very good feature and i want to keep it enabled.
I have also tried different routers and definitely the problem is not the router.
So i came here to ask anyone here to please! give me a real solution, that works with WMM enabled on the router.
Thank you for the will to help,
Gabriel
