my LG P500 with CM9, CM10 (oxygen ics, slim,...)but can't connect ah-hoc wifi from my laptop
(except roms from CM9.1.x Builds by Hepphappy)
how to fix this problem?
if it detects your ad-hoc wifi try change hotspot name and security settings, first try with no password, free hotspot to see if it connects
Android doesnt support AD-HOC networks.
I connected my phone trough a laptop wi-fi hotspot made with a third party software, google it

I dont have a wifi dongle for my desktop machine and i dont intent to invest in one..Is there a hack/workaround so that i can use the wifi present in my android phone (Optimus One FROYO) to access other wifi networks on my computer/desktop ???? Any inputs are welcome
When I activate tethering (via WIFI or USB) using Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Tethering & Portable Hotspot, I lose the "3G" icon in my notification bar.
My laptop receives an IP address from the phone but no DNS routing. My phone is unable to receive data of any kind, including Google Voice messages.
This seems like a communication issue between my phone and Sprint when tethering is active. Did I miss a firmware or radio upgrade somewhere?
I'm running Cyanogen Mod 7.1.0 on my Nexus S 4G. Baseband D720SPRKE1.
you shouldn't lose 3g...you will lose your 4g, but 3g should stay active. you can try pda net, barnacle, and easy tether if you'd like another solution (fyi, for ns4g, pda net's usb tether will allow a 4g connection )
*edit*
noticed you're running CM7...it may be a bug with that rom, and installing a 3rd party tether app should solve it for you
hi everyone,
i just want to know can we access mobile's internet in pc by connecting lg optimus black to pc via data cable? for example like we can do it in nokia using nokia pc suite.
thanks,
pratz
is it that no one ever tried to connect any lg mobile to pc and used mobile's connection to access internet on PC?
The term you are looking for is: Tethering. AFAIK the LG Optimus Black can only tether via USB when using a third party app. You could look for ClockworkMod Tether for example.
no, i was not looking for teethring. in teethring you need to use your mobile as wifi hotspot, but i wanted to know whether you can connect using data cable and use internet the way you do in nokia pc suite.
but i got my answer as i sent a mail having the same question to LG and they replied as below

Dear customer,
Thanks for sharing your concern with us.
IN p970 phone, the internet can only be shared by wifi hotspot feature given in the phone (settings> wireless & netwrok >Tethering & portable hotspot > portable wifi hotspot & also do relevant portable wifi hotspot settings ).
In laptop which have inbuilt wifi option for internet, first connect your phone with the wifi connectivity then share this wifi network with the help of wifi hotspot to the laptop.
For pc pls use USB wifi dongle then share the internet.
thanks

Well, I still recommend you to look into ClockworkMod Tether or similar.
"ClockworkMod Tether is a USB tether solution for Mac, Windows, and Linux that allows you to use your phone's data connection to get internet access on your desktop or laptop."
USB Tethering means using a "Data Cable"
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
Regards
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?
Dear friends
I have samsung galaxy tab android and another android phone from spice mobile india.I want to tether this two devices.Can any one show me the light please.i dont know if the indian android phone has built in wifi hot spot system.
wifi tether
If you have rooted your phone you could give the app wifi tether a try, I've been able to connect a couple of devices with it.
Tethering
Hi,
this should not be complicated. On the android phone setup the wifi hot spot and this will simply be seen as a wifi router by the tablet. It actually does not matter what devices or operating system you are using on the client side.
Cheers,
Checklist
Not obviously for all. To use wifi hotspot, need to - enable data 3G/H (or 2G) on the rooted device
- enable wifi hotspot tethering on the rooted device (by an apps or an internal function)
- get the password and the name of the hotspot and write it on a paper
- on the client device, connect to the hotspot and write the password
- done
If your phone havent native tether you can install wifi tether from play store
