I've ordered an Apad slate with android 1.5 and wifi but is there a way of tethering the wifi to use the mobile data connection on my HTC Hero? I can't make a physical connection as they both have just mini USB jacks.
Thanks
Matt
Use Wireless Tether if your Hero is rooted if not there are other tethering apps out there that will broadcast WiFi. Search Market for Tether.
Apad and wireless
i have a Apad with 1.6 android system and i have a rooted EVO but it will not find the wireless connection please help, as i have no problem connecting with my netbook. please read on that i wrote
i have a APad and the built in wifi finder could not find my HTC EVO wifi and so i downloaded yours and it found it, but saids its IBSS and ask for password, there is no password and when i click connect the lock just goes around and around. its work with my Compaq laptop and acer netbook, (windows based) and the APad is android just like the HTC EVO is android also, any info would help and thank you for your time in advance..

Hello,
networks with IBSS (ad hoc) are not supported in raw android (without addition like htc sense etc.), because android api don't provide class and/or methods for this configuration, so you can't save the netowrk configuration via WiFinder. But HTC add this feature in own compilation (like Sense) so you can add network form Settings -> Wireless option menu, and then you can manage connection/disconnection IBSS network from WiFinder BUT still you can't add IBSS network configuration direct from WiFinder.
Bottom line if yours APad have raw android you can't connect to network with IBSS configuration.
PS. Same problems are in networks with WPA2 Enterprise.
update
this was a double and all i could do it edit did not see delete

Can't believe it.. It really seems not possible to share my PC Internet connection to my Android phone (HTC Desire), because Android OS simply forgot the option to add a new connection..
It is NOT thetering 3G internet to my desktop, but the other way around..
Sooo easy on a Windows Mobile, Simply possible on Symbian with gnubox. Why suck up my 3G data plan if I have a perfect Internet connection just in front of me most of the time. Of course, at work for example there is no WiFi available.
Bluetooth PAN would be great, it is available on almost every laptop. Wifi Ad-Hoc is also an option, but is not detected by Android. Why? Is Android sponsored by Telco Companies or something?
Searched for a while and found a discussion where someone says: "Yes, if you root your phone, and you are happy to mess around editing the wireless config files to add an ad-hoc wireless connection.
But why is'nt there a simple app to do this?
Hello Guys,
I have bought a Parrot Ar.Drone for 300€!
I have the HTC HD7 with Windows Phone 7. I need Ad-Hoc for Windows Phone 7 to control the Drone. Does anybody know when its available on my Device?
Is it possible to create any Application that simulates or create the Ad-Hoc Network?
Please help me, I cant control the Ar Drone. I have to wait till Mango maybe (

Wow, sorry for Doublepost but are there any News on it? Or can anyone program something? For me its very important, even old Nokia Devicec can find Ad-Hoc Networks!
I also want Wi-Fi ad-hoc connection mode, in order to sync wirelessly with Zune on my Acer Iconia Tab W501P Windows 7 Tablet.
Is it possible to set my Windows 7 laptop as a wireless router (Wi-Fi infrastructure mode) and sync wirelessly with Zune? I don't have separate wireless router; I want to use the laptop's internal Wi-fi adapter as a wireless rutoer. Is is possible?
I tried to set up a new wireless network on the laptop, but it wants "router PIN". I don't know where to find this router pin.
You misunderstood me. I know how to set up ad-hoc newtork in Windows 7. My question is how to set up an infrastructure (access point) Wi-Fi network in Windows 7, without using wireless router. Only using the laptop's integrated Wi-Fi adapter.
This is needed in order to perform Wireless sync between Zune software and a Windows Phone smartphone.
Search for Connectify and see if that works for you.
Is it possible on Lumia 800 ? Because with Supreme Shortcuts i can go to the section for network sharnig but i can't activate it.
Alright, So I just bought a US Wifi Xoom yesterday and got all the updates up to Android 3.2.. So far so good. Now I'm trying to tether it to my touch pro 2 (windows mobile 6.5). So the first obvious problem I came around was that the Xoom is not able to detect ad-hoc networks. I searched the forums and found that the only way around this was to root the xoom and change some files/settings not something that I am comfortable doing yet with android (I'm an android Noob). The other way around this would be to get the Touch Pro 2 to broadcast the SSID in infrastructure mode and I wasn't able to find any programs that were capable of doing that (I currently have Tom Codon's Wifi Sharing App and ICS Control 0.2.1) So I then went ahead and tried tethering via Bluetooth to find out that the Xoom only supports tethering to NAP devices and my Touch Pro 2 (as of now) is only able to set up a PAN.
Does anyone know of a way to tether these two things together preferable without rooting the Xoom?
If the only way for a Xoom to tether to a Windows Mobile 6.5 device is to root the Xoom, could someone provide me a link to a guide for Noobs rooting the Xoom (I did find the 1 Click app, however I wasn't able to download it.. it was a password protected file on mediafire.com) An app that rooted the device for me would be ideal.
Thanks in advance.
I'm using WMWifiRouter on my Win 6.5 phone (Omnia II - Verizon). You'll need to use the bluetooth tether option. It's not the fastest but it works.
+1 to Bluetooth tether on the wifi router app for Winmo. That would be the only way to do it without rooting the Xoom.
If you do root the Xoom (which is easier than you probably think) you can flash the zip file in my signature (via ClockworkMod recovery) to add ad-hoc connectivity to the Xoom.
This is the best guide for beginners IMHO: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130996
Either way best of luck.
What version of WMwifirouter are you guys using? I know everything before 0.91 is free but I don't know if it supports bluetooth networking.
I use Android myself but a google search lead me to this post on PPC geeks.
"go to settings-connections-wifi-network adapters
then go to remote NDIS HOST
For Bluetooth. go to the "Bluetooth PAN Driver"
use the settings below for Bluetooth tethering to work:
192.168.0.1
255.255.255.0
gateway: leave blank"
Thought it might help if you find a version of wifirouter to use.

I'm assuming the settings-connections wifi network adapators remote ndis host is for the windows mobile phone? I'm done see where remote NDIS Host shows up.
As for the Bluetooth PAN Driver, I tried running the wm6btpan and when I execute it on the phone, I get Error 1062.
I have a TP2 and a Xoom.
I would suggest rooting, flashing CWR and then the ad_hoc enabling patch.
It is quite simple to do, follow the link someone posted above...
Here's the problem of a newb user of an Android tablet.
I favent' found any similar thread here @ the Forum.
I've just bought a chinese tablet (EM73...maybe Haipad or Irobot) with Ginger 2.3.3 installed by the vendor.
Everything goes right but not the sharing connection with the modem of my HTC TP2 (WM 6.5).
I can do it (through BT or WIFI connection) just if I use my netbook (Win XP home) running WMWifiRouter or CM Internet sharing. The router is immediatly recognized by the pc and I can use internet or SN (like FB) or Skype....and so on with an EDGE connection.
I've tried to do the same by connecting the modem-router to my new tablet, running WMWIFIRouter on TP2 but without seeing the net in the list of wifi connections.
No problem with the router and the ADSL connection that I use at home but no connections appears in the list of the tablet if I try to share the EDGE connection of my smartphone.
I've tried to connect by using an USB cable (using some apps found on the market) but nothing happens.
Someone says it depends of the type of connection (ad hoc = WM; infrastructure = Android)... but I can't find any solution to create that type of connection (is it possible ???=).
Can someone help me please ?
Though I don't have a solution, to help I can promise you it has to do with using ad-hoc. My Sirius and DSLite would not hook up to my WinMo phone because of it being Ad-hoc.
help me connect to eduroam pls
when i try to connect it says : "scanning ...."then "connecting ...." then "saved, secured with 802.1x"
Sensation XE
fw 3.25
rom : ARHD 6.2.1
ICS
same for me Sony
seems to be an android bug
-scanning-connecting-searching---- "disabled, secured with 802.1x eap"
this is my loop, and no connection at all
Same here :-(
iPhone users can connect fine to my company's 802.1x wifi network, but i can't from my android phones (SE Xperia X10 on Gingerbread & HTC Sensation on ICS)
A google search shows a lot of users having issue in connecting to 802.1x networks since Froyo (Android 2.2). There are worksrounds suggested, but they don't appear to work for me.
It seems the issue still exists in ICS as well :-(
Try LEAP WiFi free (it is in the market) or try to find one app for your comapny.
Leap WiFi works fine for me on IBM EAP APs.
Delete your old saved setting, before creating a new with Leap WiFi.

Finally, I've defeated my CiSCO EAP-FAST corporate wifi network and now all our Android devices are able to connect to it.
The walkaround I've performed in order to gain access to this kind of networks from an Android device are easiest that you can imagine.
I'am a BES, MDM and Lotus Administrator, and btw and iOS lover.
Many of my colleages are Android users, and their claim is always the same.
Why iOS and BB users are able to connect to the corporate wireless network by chosing only WPA2 Enterprise and only needs the network SSID and their Active Directory Credentials?
2 years has passed since I heard this claim from my colleagues for the first time , and until yesterday, all of them remained disconnected even when they had ICS on their devices.
This things made me think about the Android and iOS system differences, and the way the OS developer thinks.
A wireless chipSet is a wireless chipset, and it not depends of the OS installed in a mobile device to have a better compatibility.( not like servers or routers ).
When you setup a Corporate wifi network on iPhone, basically you command the system to use some protocols to connect to, included in the WPA2 Enterprise cabinet. the system check all of the until find the right one to connect.
Android doesn't have the same protocols defined in his WPA2 Enterprise system definitions, so if you try to connect to it by using the main Android interface, you will have an authentication error.
There's a Wifi Config Editor in the Google Play Store you can use to "activate" the secondary CISCO Protocols when you are setting up a EAP wifi connection.
It's name is Wifi Config Advanced Editor.
Firstable you have to setup your wireless network manually as seemful as you can to your "official" corporate wifi parameters.
Save it.
Go to the WCE and edit the parameters of the network you have created in the previous step.
There are 3 or 4 series of settings you should activate in order to force the Android device to use them as a way to connect (the main site I think you want to visit is Enterprise Configuration, but don't forget to check all the parameters to change them if needed.
As a suggestion, even if you have a WPA2 EAP-FAST Cipher, try LEAP in your setup.
It worked for me as a charm.
When you finished to edit the config, go to the main Android wifi controller, and force to connect to this network.
DO NOT Edit the network again with the Android wifi interface.
Tested on Samsung Galaxy 1, 2 and Note mobile devices and on a Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet.
Gingerbread, Honeycomb and ICS.
May the force be with you, my young Padawan

Try the "Leap WIFI free" app from Play Store
Try the "Leap WIFI free" app from Play Store. Its an app provided by a developer called "OneGuyInABasement".
I was having the same issue where I couldn't connect to the (802.1x EAP based) Wifi network at my workplace.
I configured the network through this app and now I can connect just fine.
Leap WIFI free not working with JB 4.2.1
I have tried using Leap WIFI free on my Asus TF700T running the latest OTA update to JB (4.2.1).
While the tool seems to create a network profile, it does not even connect.
Trying to connect to a wifi network that shows up as Cisco EAP-FAST when I connect via my windows laptop
I've tried creating the profile using the built in wifi config editor as well, unfortunately it defaults to PEAP and while it connects and gets an IP address I do not have actual network access (e.g. web browsing fails).
The wifi ACE tool has not been updated to support JB yet either.
Any other suggestions?
