Hello,
just got an HTC One (m7), 4.4.2 KitKat, 5,5 Sense. It's already rooted and s-off-ed , but what's really bugging me is that I can't seem to find a thread how to enable the device to see and connect to adhoc wifi networks. Nobody even discusses the damn thing! Am I the only one that can't get over this fact? on my very old i9000 there were always modified "wpa_supplicant" files that allowed such adhoc connectivity on rooted devices. Almost every custom ROM has the feature built in.
I mean I just got the phone and was thinking of testing the stock Sense for a while, shame to change to another rom straightaway only because of this.
this maybe is a stupid idea but will copying the CM11 wpa_supplicant over the current do the trick? (backup first of course). Or is there a guide how to manually edit the file.

no idea what adhoc did for you, but the One has built in wifi hotspot under settings / wireless and networks / more /Mobile network sharing
I am sorry I didn't make it sound clear by ADHOC I mean the ability to SEE adhoc (non-infrastructure) networks and CONNECT properly to them. For example such a network created with a pc without using virtual router software.

It is true. No one cares for this feature
for instance if you are on a win7 pc: open network and sharing center > set up a new connection or network > set up a wireless ad hoc (comp to comp) network >>> opened or wep protected and share internet from your pc ....see if your stock device even sees the created network..............that's my problem. Android devices normally do not let you connect to this kind of wifi network in their wifi connect manager.
and this thing with the patched wpa_supplicant file from CM11, can someone pls post theirs for HTC One? It's in /system/bin/wpa_supplicant or somewhere else in the root partition.
come on you guys! at least suggest what to do. the topic isn't closed yet
Ad-Hoc on Htc One M7
Hi There,
I was trying to connect my Htc One M7 to the wifi (ad-hoc) from my Hp9700 .. To bad there is not any option in the Htc for connection
trough ad-hoc .. my sollution is to use connectify and make a AP (acces point) then the Htc will see the Wifi connection in open-air,
Its to bad that the NON-infrastructure is not seen by the wifi-module of the Htc Phone and i dont think that there is a possible update for ..
I got the Htc One M7 32Gb with Android 5.0
I see al trough the wifi settings on the Htc but there is no way to connect trough ad-hoc!
O Yeah i tried the most wifi apps in the playstore and the funny thing is i can see the ad-hoc in there but will not connect, strange cos the apps from playstore USE the wifi-module in the Phone ..
Well thats al ..

just want to share my 3.5g connection to another android phone.
,but i cant find any soft AP(access point) option in the setting menu with custom roms ( >2.2). wifi ethering apps give me ad hoc network sharing,but no wifi hotspot/soft ap..
I wonder is that because the manufactory HTC do not release a driver for g1's wifi hotspot?
any idea

First off, DREAM is a 32B -- not A.
Second, there is no wifi hotspot option since nobody provided the appropriate drivers to put the wifi hardware into that mode (HTC). As a result, adhoc is the best you can get.
Hello everybody!
This is my first log in here, because I got a new Nexus One this weekend and I heard that your forum is one of the best about it.
So, I have a problem with the internet connection. My Nexus One is connected (the internet connection is exellent and I use it now with my laptop) but it just doesn't works. When I try to use the browser application or an another app, which needs internet connection, the application says that I have a problem with the internet and I can't use it. Any ideas ? Thanks!
Does it do this on all routers or just your home router if it's just on your home router?
It does this on all routers. Everything is okay now. It works fine. But that happens periodically and I don't know what's wrong with my phone. Now I'm trying to flash my phone from 2.2 to 2.3 and we'll see what will happens with it.
Ok well if you need any help with flashing the update (like if you're on a carrier tweaked ROM) then just ask.
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.
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.

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,
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.

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.

Yes, i know Already asked in that thread, but didn't receive any answer. Maybe i will flash it later, but i don't put any hope it will works.
