Hi
Is it possiple to connect from my skyrocket to a Dell laptop using wifi direct ? and how ?
I tried making a ad hoc connection in the laptop but scaning from phone never finds it ...
thanks
Yes. I have a friend who just bought a 14 inch HP laptop and he can use wifi direct between his skyrocket and the laptop. I believe the laptop has to be wifi direct capable.

Anyone knows how to setup wireless tethering on Touchpad?
I have Miui Android on Motorola Defy. I tried Wireless tether and Barnacle apps but my Touchpad cannot detect connection.
I read somewhere that TP will not work with Adhoc wifi...is there a way to get infrastructure wifi on Android? any other suggestion?

Works on my evo3d and my wifes shift.

i have a question relating to this... i have an original droid and is it true that CM 7 has he ability to add a non ad-hoc wifi?
It worked no problem on my Samsung T959 running Trigger 3.2
How did you get it to run with your evo 3d? I've been trying without any success.

Are we saying that touchpad can connect to SOME ad-hoc networks, depending on what security is used?

i don't think gingerbread runs it in ad-hoc mode.
i think it sets it up as an access point.

I've allready tried with my Defy under CM7 without success at this time. Barnacle does Ad-hoc Wifi, and webos cannot connect to Ad-hoc Wifi.
I tried with "WiFi tether" for root witch allow infrastructure mode but unsuccessful for now.
We need to find the good app and the good settings...
I have the ridiculous situation where I have my trusty 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab (on 2.2) running its Wireless Access Point software and a Wireless 'ouchpad - has anyone tried this combo?
My TP connects fine to my Galaxy S2, security set as WPA2
Hi all, I have an unrelated question to ask. I just got my tp this mornign from hp, for whatever reasont that might be, I couldn't connect to the hp catalog(hp app store). Does anyone else have this problem as well?
I am using a rooted DroidX and Barnacle WiFi will not work with the Touchpad. I installed "Open Garden WiFi Tether" and it successfully tethers.

it connects fine to my router at home using WPA2 also, just not my desire s for some reason.
My Touchpad initially would not see the hotspot from my Evo 4g running CM7, but after upgrading the Touchpad to the new firmware it is all set. I'm using WPA security.

Hey, guys?
Any progress in connecting our touchpads to Motorola Defy phones?
My TP connects fine. Tmo G2 running CM7 nightlies. I use the built in wifi hotspot and WPA2 encryption. No problems.

I had the same problem trying to connect using WiFi Tether on my Epic 4G, which i downloaded from the Android Market. That version only uses WEP and the TP just couldnt see the connection. I downloaded an updated version of WiFi Tether from the developers site, which supported WPA2 and the TP saw it and connected with no problem.
Finally my first post...lol
I own a Samsung Infuse which has terrible Wifi strength. I have to be in the same room as the router in order for it to connect.
Is there anyway that I can use my Transformer as a hotspot while its connected to my network so my phone can connect to the Transformer?
No, cant be host and client at the same time.

How is that possible? Unless your TF is 3G capable, once you turn the TF wifi hotspot on it shut off the WiFi connection.
I can tether my TF to my Nexus 1 but not the other way around.
are you on latest firmware? I saw something in another thread about it, but its definitely an option here and worked when I tested it!

Hi so mainly im asking about a way to use the android wifi connection on my pc through usb like my phone is connected to a wifi and my pc have no wifi card so i use the usb to connect the phone with the pc and then i have connection so any ideas?

I think the tethering should work unless your service company charges for tethering
update: No it doesn't work. only runs network signal not wireless. Maybe there should be a way to do that.

This is impossible since the tethering uses 3g internet connection rather than wi-fi, since it is designed for situations when there is no wi-fi connection but there is cellular connection, and you want to browse the internet with your PC. good luck, i maybe wrong!
So, where I work, I have zero bars. I've tried both Tmobile and AT&T sim chips and both are "no service" at my desk. I sit right in the middle of a big metal building.
Also, this building has no wifi at all.
My only other option is ethernet. Do you guys know of any way I can hook an ethernet cable to my S4? Does Android even have the software capability to do this?
Thanks guys. :fingers-crossed:

buy a wifi dongle for your work PC which is connected via ethernet then let your work PC transmit wifi connection to your phone. Not sure if thats legal to do in your office, using a wifi dongle since you need more or less an administrator access to set it up correctly.

Didn't think you could use a dongle that would work like that?
Can you not buy a router and create your own wifi?
The existing LAN you have at your pc, plug into a router, then the router to the pc. Configure an invisible ssid and boom.
Assuming your work will allow you... There may be a security reason why they don't have wifi.

I used to broadcast wifi internet using the built in wlan of a laptop but using a usb internet dongle(the one with a simcard). Forgot the name of the program but if you know how to setup manually it should work as well. Im just assuming you can use those wifi dongles to transmit like a repeater

Get a router and hook it up to your ethernet and make it hidden and secured so only you know it exist and only you can use it.
Nic dongle for S4 SPH-L720
I see them around the i9500. Is there any for the SPH-L720 S4?
You could use something like this. It should work for you. I have a regular USB to Ethernet adapter and it works with my Toshiba tablet and chromebooks. No apps or drivers needed with android. I believe you need android honeycomb or better I think.
