I've attempted to connect my phone to an ad-hoc network and to no avail, I tried the tweak that was used on the Samsung Galaxy S (found here: http://sardarmobile.blogspot.com/2011/03/fix-connect-samsung-galaxy-s-to-ad-hoc.html but still not able to connect or even see the network. Has anyone tried connecting their phones to such a network?

I have a Samsung i5800 and would like to use my data plan to use the Internet at home.
I tried setting my router Dlink DIR600 (ddwrt) to connect the phone but for some reason the Dlink is unable to connect to the Adroc network generated by android-wifi-tether.
So I thought to make the phone connect to the Dlink and to make the computers to route the internet through the android but the android does not allow the Wifi and 3G running at the same time.
Is this possible?
no!!!!!!!!
you cant link your router to your phone to boost the signal per say. What you can do is just a simple android tether to the devices you want to use at your home
You can't do that on your Android phone.
Thank you.
We are attempting to connect several (rooted) developer Samsung Nexus S phones running 2.3.4 to each other using ad-hoc WiFi (with NO access-point, just the phones)
We've gone through the steps of modifying wpa_supplicant.conf to allow the phones to *connect* to ad-hoc networks. We're stuck now not being able to *create* an ad-hoc network from the phone.
Other posts on XDA show that it can be done on phones with the TI wifi chipset (modifying tiwlan.ini). Unfortunately, the SNS does not have this chipset.
These phones do support the wireless-hotspot app, which, IIRC, does create an ad-hoc wifi network, so there must be some support to create one on the phone.
Has anybody successfully *created* a wifi ad-hoc network on the SNS before?
Thanks,
Aaron
Hi!
I'm having an issue with the wireless hotspot function between the SII and the Galaxy Tab Plus.
I've set up the hotspot as the phone suggested, but when I connect the Tab, it can connect to the network, but can't seem to access the internet at all. The wireless connection bar is white, but not blue like it is when I've connected to my router.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Is this a pay only hotspot app on the SII as for example Verizons hotspot app which requires a seperate data plan? I was able to get Android Wifi Tether to work on mine. Something to do with tablets not being able to connect to adhoc wifi connections? My phone is an HTC Droid Incredible, open Wifi Tether and go to Settings>Change Setup-Method and enabled Softap (master) and was finally able to get my GTab to recognize the phone.
Sorry for the late reply!
I've asked my provider, and they said that I shouldn't have any issues using the stock app in Android. I had a look on the internet (Called Samsung and they were no help) about your suggestion on ad-hoc networks, and it seems to be bang on the money. I'm not too keen on rooting my phone at the moment, but will definitely consider it in the near future when ICS comes out.
Thanks for your help!

Hi
I just got my Nexus 5 yesterday and could not connect to the WIFI at work. People at work with Samsung Galaxy S4s are also unable to connect however the S3 and my Galaxy Nexus are able to connect fine.
There's two networks: a Guest network that doesn't require a password and a network that requires a password. I am unable to connect to either. The phone will say "Connecting" for a couple seconds and go back to "Saved". At home I'm able to connect fine.
I was wondering if anyone else is having similar issues, or know of a solution. If anyone had an S4 and now a Nexus 5 are you able to connect to networks you couldn't before?
Thanks
Jeff
This will be an issue with the network not the phone.
