I have two HD+ with different rom's (CM 10.2 and CM11). Both have WiFi direct listed in the WiFi menu. On both their own id is shown but when search is used neither sees the other. Is WiFi direct not functional? do i need to change a file? Any shared help or experience would be appreciated.

If you haven't already figured it out, wifi direct is functional. You may need to forget your wifi connection first before trying anything with wifi direct.

Hello! new to N1 forum, could any1 tell me if its even possible to connect via wifi to an ad hoc network. Im using CyanogenMod-5 rom which finds network but fails to connect. any help wld be great. sorry if this is the wrong place for my question.
regards bevan
Yes, you'll have to edit the (tiwlan.ini0) and (wpa_supplicant.conf). When I get to night...i'll try to post what you need to edit.
I just got my N1 today and will playing with it ...so it might be around 10-11 CST to night when I post back with the info.
Here a quick type up
going to system/etc/wifi and edit tiwlan.ini...do a seach for WiFiAdhoc and it should take to
WiFiAdhoc = 0 and change the 0 to 1...right ather WiFiAdhoc put
dot11DesiredSSID = CARPC what ever you want...as you can see I use (carpc) so I can connect to my carpc.
dot11DesiredBSSType = 0 this will stay 0 so it all should look like this
WiFiAdhoc = 1
dot11DesiredSSID = CARPC
dot11DesiredBSSType = 0
Now for wpa_supplicant.conf add this to very bottom
ssid="CARPC"
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=1
}
If you still need help just post back in here....
thanks
soloxp hope ur enjoying the new phone & yes it seem I need a little more help with this. now as Im new to android I've never actually edited setting before. I found setting/etc/wifi but could u please point me a tutorial on how I edit this file. thankyou for ur time.
I just check CM N1 Roms and it look like the N1 wifi is setting are different then the G1. I want be rooting my N1 for about 2weeks...that way I know it's working good before I root it. Sorry I can't help you on this right now.

ur welcome!
You can try these...just change my setting to your and see if it works.
I try to insert a rar file. i'll try another way.
WEP works fine without making any changes. So if its just a quick temporary solution use that.
Thats what I used when in Japan for net on the N1, as the appartment only provided a LAN cable & I only had a netbook with me.
Hi, I changed my settings in wifi with yours using win rar (maybe that's not how to do it?) but didn't work sadly. when trying to flash told me file was bad. should I mod this file using some other programe? not sure. am a noob but willing to learn how this is done thanks again!

In order to obtain an IP address automatically. You need to be running a DHCP server which I doubt you are.
To get around this set a static IP address on the phone.

My phone can obtain network address ONLY if my laptop is connected to internet. (no problem).
There's no tiwlan.ini file in nexus one & there's no need to edit it. just have to edit wpa_supplicant.conf.
cheers

have kind of given up on the ad hoc thing for now but thanks for advice guys. Im on 3g mobile broadband and recently got a 3g router which fixed my problem. when I leave the house and require internet I just use 3g sim card works fine so no need for ad hoc at the moment.
AdHoc - unsuccesfully
Hello all.
I have the same problem with adhocing my N1 and wireless adapter D-Link DWA-150.
I used to check all the "solutions" of this problem (wpa_supplicant. conf, rooting, new SSID...) but it seems not usefull for me.((
To soloxp - there is not any tiwlan.ini in N1. At least in CyanogenMod 5.0.6.N1.
What can I do more to connect my wireless adapters?..
Has anyone figured this out? I am running CyanogenMod 5.0.7.1 and I do have the wpa_supplicant.conf file but I'm not sure what to put in it as far as editing it. I use WMWiFiRouter on a Windows Mobile phone because that phone is 3G and my Nexus One only gets EDGE. My iPhone and computers can connect up to my WM phone just fine I just can't get my N1 to connect to it.
So this is indeed the way for my question and possibly the solution..
I have been asking abt this,
I got N1, CM7 latest...
linksys compact g wireless USB adapter
after creating adhoc connection I connect my phone and it stuck at "obtaining IP address"
Now please tell me how can a place or make a change in N1 system files?
please help me with links and yeah Im a nooobbb
Bump up the post.....
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

If anyone has a solution please share .
Hi everybody.
I would like to know if someone is working on a hack for our NOOKs tablet to access ad-hoc networks. I saw there is some movement on other devices, as android, at least the latest version, does not include support to ad-hoc network. The reasons are obvious, Google team will not implement this in the next version as they are going further to offer mobile services an they would you require that you purchase a new data plan.
So, it is time to have a hack for our android(ed) NOOK devices in order to access ad-hoc networks from our mobile phones.
Does anyone know about a similar movement on NOOK community ?
Regards.
Angelo
I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish here based on your statement. Ad-hoc networks only allow two individual computers to connect without one being configured as an access point, sort of like bluetooth in terms of functionality. The reason it is unavailable is probably more to do with security as it is a dangerous connection to use or enable. If you are talking about tethering to for instance your phone, that works fine, use it all the time. This doesn't require ad hoc, only a tethering app (e.g. pdanet) or it is built in for many phones.
If you have an old Nokia device, I've noticed that when they tether via JoikuSpot, they create ad-hoc networks. If this is the reason you want ad-hoc networks enabled (to tether), I guess this is a valid reason. To pair two devices together, that may become troublesome (I doubt it'll be working any time soon).
Tethering via ad-hoc is perfectly fine, I'll take a quick look at it for the Nook HD+, and I'll reply back with what I find; hopefully a solution. I'll try and take a look some time this Wednesday or weekend.
I've not fully tested it, but doesn't Cyanogenmod enable ad-hoc networks by default? So, I guess you could go down that route (of course, I do accept that CM10 isn't for everyone).
P.S. If I do, or anyone else enables ad-hoc networks on the Stock ROM, you'll need to be rooted, and with CWM (since you'll need to apply a .zip) to hopefully enable ad-hoc networks.
All the best.

Yes, you are 100% correct. I do have a Nokia and Joikuspot.
The other problem is that I am a complete newbie to android, cyanogenmod etc.
I have rooted my Nook HD, but I dont know if it is using cyanogenmod. I just purchased a microSD card that rooted and installed gapps..
Thank you for your help....
Rooting stock does not add CyanogenMod. You must install that separately by installing it to a bootable SD.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10 on Hybrid SD
I looked around and didn't see ad hoc in my CM10, and there's this: http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/62183-ad-hoc-was-disabled-in-cyanogenmod-10/ Apparently CM has followed google here.
Maybe this can help:

It seems that for NooK Color, this is already done.

It does not help on HD+ (included wpa_supplicant binary complains in logs that it does not support wi-fi n spec).So wi-fi does not work at all on Nook HD+ with this hack.
We need a newer patched wpa_supplicant (that supports ad hoc and wifi mode n). Hacked version for any recent android device should go. I'm going to try that http://androidtablethacks.com/android-tablet-hacks/how-to-enable-adhoc-wifi-on-android-tablets/ once have a spare time.
I was talking about the idea of that topic.
But I think you got it.
About to have support to wifi n: I suppose that wifi g support is enough, right ?

It would be enough, but supplicant fails to start
I've dedicated some time to study this problem. Here is the result:
Dmitriusan said:
Is there any chance the rom will include the ad-hoc patch? Or maybe there is anybody with configured build environment who can recompile wpa_supplicant binary?
The most recent patch version I've found is http://www.verydemo.com/demo_c131_i18097.html
Old patch discussion http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961 and the old patch itself http://szym.net/android/wpa_supplicant-ibss.patch
I've tried downloading few patched wpa_supplicant binaries for another devices, but they all use another wi-fi drivers. Nook HD+ has wl1271l chip and uses wl12xx driver.
Many people seem to use Joikuspot to share GPRS/EDGE/3G to another devices via wifi (mobile ad-hoc spot), but Android does not see any adhoc network and it's really annoying...
EDIT:
Or at least maybe anybody has compiled tun.ko module for the latest kernel? I'm trying to get BlueVPN working (to connect my N78 phone as Dial-up Networking device via bluetooth)
UPD
Finally got Internet tethering working with N78. The tun module is present, but for some reason not autoloaded at startup. So, I performed
$ su
# modprobe tun
and managed to connect via BlueVPN to N78 (EDGE). The name of program is a bit misleading, it just connects to phone with BlueDUN installed or to any (?) cell phone that can work as bluetooth modem. I'm using the second option.

Joikuspot is told to discharge Nokia device in ~40 minutes of active usage. So tethering over bluetooth seems to me not only the only available, but also the prefered solution. Almost any phone with bluetooth should feet this purpose.
So, here is the final procedure:
- You need the rooted firmware with any terminal emulator (I use CM10 and build-in Terminal Emulator)
- Install BlueVPN
- pair your devices over bluetooth (may need to repeat pairing from scratch after installing BlueVPN)
- Start terminal emulator and type
su
- type
modprobe tun
- no output is okey. If you get the module not found error, I have bad news to you You need the tun.ko kernel module built exactly for your ROM. But at verygreen CM10 firmware tun.ko is present.
- disable wifi
- Start BlueVPN. Go to the settings and configure you connection options (I've enabled auto-resume and lcp compatibility, yo may need to play with another options to may things work) and GPRS settings (may be found at mobile provider web-site. At least Phone number, Access point need to be configured, in my case I've also set an Authentification to none)
- press back. On your screen you should see the paired device name. Click on it (probably at the button on the right)
- If confirmation appears, say "trust"
- If the text "BluVPN is connected with ..." is displayed on the bottom of your screen, congratulations: you are connected. Otherwise wait for some time and try selecting your device in a list again. Maybe you will have to play with settings / reboot and repeat the whole procedure/reboot your cell phone.
In my case, it takes 1-2 tries to connect, but connection seems to be stable. Don't forget that bluetooth distance is limited
Few notes: you have to run commands su/modprobe tun after every reboot.
is anyone having issues with the wifi direct i cant get any of the apps to work especially super beam the only way for me to get superbeam to work is to have both phones on the same wifi network which defeats the purpose of wifi direct. ive also rooted and tried multiple different roms still wont work with wifi direct

I'm having some issues with my TPLink router configuration and I need some advice. I got a new Nexus 6 and it don't want to connect to my home network but it connects just fine to others open WiFI so I think something is bad on my router config. I'm using stock ROM build LNX07M which is 5.0. I have attached the config options as are on my router, can any give me some help on this topic?
PS: I'm getting a software update to 5.0.1 over OTA, how secure is this? What is happen if I lost WiFI connection? Can I break my phone?

Looks like your router is fine from what I see. Make sure the region is set the same as on your phone as this effects what channels are available.
Edit: by the way it's fine to download. You download to a cache and after it is downloaded it is verified then it is flashed. So you don't really have to worry about if it drips connection or what not, it'll just re-download.
