Gentlemen and ladies,
As stated in the title I have a cheap MID M1050 Tablet rocking the 4.0 Android OS. Works fine for what they were purchased for but I am doing a job which requires the ability to access Ad Hoc networks which this does not do well. Sometimes it will see it, sometimes it will connect to it and sometimes it will anger the tablet gods and then it will not connect to any network. Being new to the rooting community, I was directed here for questions and answers but I haven't found the area for this particular device so if there is one, please link me to it because I searched the hole site for this model and it returned nothing.
My main question would be, if a successful root was done on this device, would I have either:
A) Greater functionality in the wifi abilities, i.e. able to connect to Ad Hocs at will
B) Any ability to change the way this device connects wirelessly so I make the changes I have found to enable the Ad Hoc connectivity
If so, would rooting with a custom ROM be similar as other tablets rocking 4.0 or would this one have its own way to go about it?
Not asking for someone to hold my hand through this but would like some opinion, links, and any documentation you would have on the subject. Looking to start my rooting on this simple device for the above and to play with battery conservation.
I assume this post is located in the wrong location and if so, mods please move it to the correct area. As is obvious with my first post, new to the forum and hoping to meet some helpful people on ye ol' internets.
Thanks all.
Assuming this means no one is familiar with this brand or model which I expected. Ill poke around on Google some more and see what I can come up with and post my findings here for others to search. Very curious on the Ad Hoc and Android OS issue and guess I will post that question in the Networking section if I cannot find a suitable answer searching the site and Google.
Thanks again.

Hi there
the company that i work are developing an android based eco drive system. and i have been asked to do some research on it
the first obsticle we will face is actually connecting the device to the can bus. I have found a bluetooth however, im wondering wether this will work and wether there is a better way this can work
the system will have to work on almost any android device this is why i believe that the bluetooth system will be the best
also can any one direct me to a half decent Android dev site. i am a complete beginner with android development and really have no clue where to start and google is being proper vague
i hope someone can help :-S

Hey,
I have worked quite a bit with CANbus and I am aware that there are some good Bluetooth based solutions for linking to the vehicle.
Be aware though that CANbus is hit and miss with data and it is completely dependant on the manufacture what data is exposed to the CANbus, so certain vehicles may not have all the data you require.
As for Android development, best place to get started is the Androids own Reference, examples. I would post a link but I am new here, so just google Android Development and it'll be the top result.
Other than that I can only suggest googling/youtubing tutorials like with any other development.
If you're experiencing WiFi drop problems, may I suggest you have a look at application: "FXR WiFi fix and rescue", available on Play Store and free, no root required btw. It solved my problem at least.
Hi there,
as a new user on XDA-Developers I am not allowed to post in the development forums (yet)! Grrrr!
Anyway I would like to share interesting discovery about an application that has been able to fix (for me at least) the WiFi problem that's quite extensively discussed on the "Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development" thread, started by all-glorious-and-deserving BroodROM author: Broodplank1337.
As many users on that thread I've been experiencing the problem about WiFi connection lasting a few seconds to a few minutes, and then dropping. The only cure to this problem was to deactivate WiFi, then reactivate it. I sometimes had to retry up to 2-3 times for the WiFi connection to work again, but only for a few dozens of seconds / few minutes.
-> the application that fixed my problem is "FXR WiFi fix and rescue". I tried a few other but only that one solved the problem for me. I was surprised that it didn't even request root access rights...
On the aforementioned forum I could find several other fixes made by Broodplank and others, involving reflashing of Kernel and/or modem firmware. I didn't want to start flashing the Kernel again on the cellphone as some users had reported failure and I didn't want to risk bricking the phone.
Hope this info is useful and gets found by some people (I wished I could post it as a reply to the aforementioned thread, would have allowed a more concise answer, grrrr).
Hey,
Thank you very much for pointing out this app, If it really helps I will definitely add it to RC5. of course I'm very curious what the app does since it doesn't even need root access.
Tested the app and It seems to really fix the reception! I have 2 bars now on the 2nd floor and normally i would have 0 bars! (so it keeps disconnecting all the time)
Thank you very much!
Great!
Great!
You know what, if it was 8 years ago I would be like you, releasing custom ROMs etc or doing similar stuff. However in the meantime came wife and children... I don't have no time at all for hacking at home anymore!
On the professional side I'm doing similar job, only that it's not on smartphones (it's in digital TV market). I have good embedded Linux experience including bootloader stuff etc, but rather poor Android-specific knowledge (at the moment).
So there you have it: your devoted new user cyclistefou is an experienced professional embedded Linux hacker, thankful and admirative for your efforts on broodrom, wishing to help and certainly able to regarding knowledge, but having almost NO time at all. Today I'm doing a special effort to contact you as you deserve it with so much work in BroodROM.
-> in summary, please remember me, as a guy who has no time in general but still wishing to support and help... when I get post access to dev forums it will be easier for me to post useful info when I have it...
Thanks for your efforts. Too bad the SGS+ device HW is good but IMHO the SW is terrible. If there was not BroodROM I would be back to my trusty HTC Desire in no time!
Wifi disconnection issue solution.!!
i khow this problem. Thats the bug in the new firmware. But there is a solution. In your wifi router there is lan setting option where ull find Lease Time. Set it to two weeks. Lease was set to "forever" actually, I changed it to one day, rebooted both and now it seems to work fine, I've tried downloading bigger files and playing some games online, it didn't drop at all! I twill not disconnect again.
Thanks for your answers, hopefully it'll stay like this...

Howdy, it looks like what you are looking for is called "reverse modem tethering" this is a feature that you'll have to do some reading and a little of command line commanding but most devices on the market now have this somewhere allowable.
Some things to consider doing or reading up on:
modem tethering; (reverse or otherwise) this is the act of sharing a data connection from one device to another, there are many methods now available. Add 'wifi' , 'bluetooth' , and or , 'USB' to your Google search quarries.
Specs; (your computer(s) and your android phone/tablet/phablet) when you post back with more questions provide some of this information so others can direct you to more specific information or methods to solve your question.
ADB; (otherwise known as Android Debugging Bridge) is a very complete but somewhat unfriendly way of taking full control of your device though the USB port; there is also a wireless version on some devices if you're willing to have that kind of security risk. Add 'ADB' to google search quarries involving modem tethering and maybe 'port forwarding'.
Edit your first post; if you put "[Q]" (without the quotes) as the first three characters of your thread title you'll find more people looking to answer your question, and maybe add the OS that your computer is running with the version of Android and model of device. This kind of structure to a forum title makes it really easy for those that have the knowledge to help you to quickly find your question and also encourages them to help as it shows you're actively looking to get this solved quickly, one more thing, when its solved change the title to reflect that with the word 'Solved' in the brackets instead of a 'Q', this will keep people from trying to re-answer your question and help other Google searchers out there find the solution that you or others provide here.
Hope some of this can be of help to you in your searches for solutions, if not try google with the following examples---
Google: how to reverse modem tether (general for android with usb)
Same search as above but with a "similar" command sent to the search bar so it will filter the web to results that are or are similar to XDA-Developers
Much the same as the above to links but the results list is less than 5,000 results and should return only related and helpful links for all operating systems
---with all of the above links take a look at how I constructed the Quarry and make edits to suit your needs, you can also try replacing "similar:" with "site:" to search only one site when you find one that is particularly helpful and change the URL part to reflect other sites you find useful. If you want more specific answers then most readers (myself included) will need more specific questions
Hi to everyone, this is my first post even if I've often read this beautiful forum. I have a question about hotspot capabilities in CyanogenMod 12 Lollipop (5.0.2). I had my S4(jftlexx) personal WPA protected hotspot (though with a very dummy password) and was sharing connection with my girlfriend, when suddenly looking at the phone I found out two devices where connected. As soon as I was aware I stopped the hotspot and now here's my question: if someone was able to deduct my hotspot password and connected to my personal hotspot, was it able to browse my personal file and eventually steal it?
I'm asking because I have on my phone very sensible data, that should remain on my own. I know that it's not directly possible without a dedicated app installed, like an FTP server (i have superbeam installed even I'm 100% sure its server was not running and sharing nothing), but someone with some knowledge and hacking intentions could be able to do this? thank you, and sorry, I'm a little in panic
We see you have also posted your question here http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/hotspot-security-t3100751

Hey guys, I'm not new to rooting as I've done many devices, but I have to say the project I have now seems impossible. ...
I have and Android double din radio that I purchased of of Ebay, it says it is running android 4.4.4 jelly bean...It has so many restrictions, I can't access bluetooth settings/but will connect to any cellphone with no problems. ..and the USB access is very limited as the manufacturer seems to have hidden these features to make more profit on THERE OWN OBDII sacanners and tv box etc that you HAVE to purchase from them ONLY!, or those features WILL NOT work....
I love the fact that I have android in my car but this limited access is very annoying.
ANY help would be appropriated, thanx!

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
We cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist and it's difficult to direct you towards a specific thread since you give so few details about your device but I suggest that you ask your question with all relevant details in the dedicated "Android Auto" Forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/, maybe in the "Android Head Units" subforum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-head-units where members familiar with your device might be able to advise you.
Good luck!
got it!
I did end up rooting it!...I used (Root Checker) and I am officially rooted...
But, I am still having a problem finding away to access the Bluetooth menu in settings/wireless & networks....
Any ideas?

Hello again.
On a traditional Android device, Bluetooth is typically an entry under "Network Connections" or a similarly named menu. As mentioned earlier we cannot provide technical support here on XDA Assist, but if you ask in the forums mentioned earlier, another member may be able to assist you.
Once again, good luck!
