I'm trying to connect my HTC Desire to my university's Wifi and I'm running into the common problem of the security certificate issue. (After connecting says there is an issue with the certificate, then after continuing get connecting error.)
The problem I'm having is that I can't get the certificates any other way, are the certificates stored on the phone somewhere, or is there a way I can force them to be download or something along these lines?
Thanks!
I had used my work wifi settings for linux (including manually creating a .pem file & editing wpa_supplicant.conf file to connect . Check if linux instructions work
Hi guys, anyone able to give me a copy of the stock Bell HTC Sensation build.prop? Heard I need to just edit a couple of line, not sure which ones.
I'm using Android Revolution 3.0.1 and it's perfect except I lost access to my Bell Mobile TV. Apk installed but it always says "There was a problem connection to the service. Please check your network connection"
Hi,
I have rooted captivate running default ATT os eclair android.
I am unable to get it to connect to wifi hotspot (adhoc, open) in my laptop. HTC G1 connects fine to it. I just do not understand why captivate cannot connect.
So to install apk I tried sdcard route but says blocked. In Application menu I do not see any option to allow unknown sources like I see in HTC G1 which is running cyanogenmod.
since wifi does not work I cannot install using market. since unknown sources is not an option available in phone menu I cannot install either.
any alternatives ?
1) should install another rom like cyanogenmod ?
Regards,
Miten.

This will allow you to enable sideloading:

It worked for me and was easy to follow.
Hi,
sideloading itself needs installing apk. I have issue in first place that of phone not letting install from sdcard due to it not being from Android Market and wifi does not connect me to my local home hotspot.
do I need to have some sim in phone to get wifi to work ? I have been trying without having sim in phone since I know my sim is not ATT and the phone is locked currently to ATT and that unlocking is what I am trying to get done.

Miten.
You need Superoneclick. It will root your phone, and it will also change the settings to allow for 3rd party apps.
How can i connect to WI-FI hotspot from "Galaxy R" ???
i have laptop and Broadband on it, i have used Connectify Pro to create HotSpot, and its created but the phone is not able to show the hotspot name ... ???
i have tried in both mode , i.e. WEP and OPEN mode, but no use !!
why ???
any solution ??
android version- 2.3.5
By default Android won't see Adhoc Wireless Networks. Change your wpa_supplicant as explained here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115610
Worked for me in a Galaxy S. Backup your original file, anyway.
Please edit the title of your question so everyone knows what is it about.
[ Solved ] Working 100% - Enable WiFi ad-Hoc Networking for Both ICS and GB for htc Sensation
For GB , this Patch will enable ad-hoc 100% steady connection for both ( WEP and open Networks ) , Also Hotspot WPA2-PSK is still able to connect
For ICS , the APK will enable ad-hoc 100% steady connection with Full WiFi Signal for both ( WEP and open Networks ) , and for Hotspot WPA2-PSK use through regular wifi menu
General
Android does not show this Ad-hoc networks ( it Finds them in the search , but filters them out of the shown results ) , this patch prevent that filtering and shows those ad-hoc networks
There are two types of WiFi Networks :
Infrastructure ( Hotspot ) WPA,WPA2-PSK which is the most secured connection , usually routers broadcast this
Ad-hoc it is either WEP or open network which is less security , usually issued through a laptop connected to a DSL line to broadcast a temporary WiFi connection
DISCLAIMER
I am not responsible if flashing this Mod results in bricking your phone
for Rooted devices​
ad-Hoc Networking for GB
Download Link
See attached Patch Ad-hoc Sensation-Ad-hoc.zip ( Full Credit and thanks to leeDroid )
ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher APK can also work with GB , But i prefer the permanent solution of the above Patch for GB
Apply the Patch
it is always good to do a Backup for your data , Or Just Backup the original file " wpa_supplicant " located in System\bin .
to restore the original file " wpa_supplicant " any time :
just open the Patch in a winrar window and navigate to System\bin and over-right the one in the Patch with the original ( you can get the original from your Rom zip ) . apply the modified Patch from recovery and you are back to the original
if you use Root Explorer to restore the original file ,make sure to set the correct permissions and ownership values
Clear Dalvik cache , and install the Patch from recovery as usual
ad-Hoc Networking for ICS
it is always good to do a NAND Backup for your Rom and data
there is an APK named " ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher " which i geuss is not intended for Sensation but can support additional devices in the try Mode , this APK has two modes
infrastructure mode infrastructure mode.jpg ( will not be used , for Hotspot WPA2-PSK use regular wifi menu )
and " Just to try " ad-hoc mode for non supported devices Just to try ad-hoc mode.jpg that we interested in
the " Just to try " ad-hoc mode worked fine with Sensation
it connects fast , very steady connection with full Wifi Signal and a fast WiFi Data transfer , Ad-hoc it is working for both WEP or open network , Please note that some firewalls could prevent you from connecting even after adjusting its settings
Ad-hoc ( open Network ) :
open network connection doesn't require a Password ,
to modify either SSID name or WEP password , go to setting while you are in infrastructure mode and modify or clear the name in SSID then just switch back to Just to try mode and enable WiFi
if you clear ( remove ) the default name in SSID , this lets the device find and connect automatically to any open ad-hoc you establish from your laptop for example with any name of your choice ( on condition that your ad-hoc connection should be the only available ad-hoc connection in range ) ,
if you leave the default name in SSID "Android tether " as it is , it will only look for a connection with the name "Android tether " that is issued from your laptop and it will not detect any ad-hoc connection with any other name
if there is more than one open network in range that can be seen by the APK then
tip 1 : name the connction in your laptop same as in device SSID ( i.e android tether )
this is because if there is more than one open ad-hoc network and you left the SSID name empty , you can not control which connection the APK will choose to connect to
tip 2 : or use Ad-hoc ( WEP Network )
Ad-hoc ( WEP Network ) :
if you want to use WEP connection , go to setting while you are in infrastructure mode then enter SSID name and Password then switch back to Just to try and enable wifi WEP Password.jpg
the name of the connection should be the same name of the connection you started on your laptop for example
there is a complete help for the APK when you press the thin line under setting
Superuser.APK
if you are using the normal Super user APK opens normal , But if you are using the New SuperSU APK there will be a delay of maybe 5 sec for starting or executing Commands
please read this first #70 , Please note that this APK is not fully compatible with sensation although it worked fine with me
there is another APK ( try it if you like to ) named " WiFi AD HOC enabler " which doesn't really work good ( very weak signal and disconnects frequently ) , or at least this is what i experienced
Connectify Pro
there is a small yet powerful PC Software Called Connectify Pro ( i can't do without it ) that does three things :
it is for windows users
Acts like an actual hardware Router ( Not software networking )
toggle wifi with a single click for either ad-hoc or hotspot ( can start the same ad-hoc connection after reboot )
automatically does all complicated configurations for all types of network to fit with your firewall and windows , also share and transfer files among other options
Press the thanks Button for this Post
There is an application similar to connectify, hostapd for ubuntu which I use all the time . But both the application ( connectify and hostapd is hardware depended . If your wifi Card supports infrastructure mode or master mode , then only they will work. ) So this work around will help those users.
Thanks for your post dear..

i literally cannot figure this out... the instructions are really vague. "install the patch as usual from recovery" what is usual? you dont say. i backed up the wpa file and just used root explorer to overwrite it and it instantly broke my wifi. i restored the original so it came back fine but i dont know how to install patch from recovery as usual. obviously the APK says i dont have all of the files and must close. please help. running ICS viperrom 1.01

It means boot into recovery and flash it as you would a Rom

ok, after reading the post for the 10th time i guess im not supposed to apply the patch since im on ICS? well, i restored completely to before i tried to get adhoc working and just installed the APK and it still didnt work. said i didnt have all the files and it must close. the link to the APK in the play store doesnt work because sensation isnt supported and i just had to find it online. Could it maybe be the APK that im using? Does anyone have a working one they could send to me or any ideas to a solution?
It's not work with the latest Sense 4 build (HTC Ville C2 latest RUU (1.11.401.110) Android 4.0.3 ICS). So can you tell me how did you do with the wpa_supplicant file please? I want to modify it myself.
is it only working for HTC OR any GB ROM ?
Thanks
what are the specific steps in applying the patch?
whats needed? and steps?
thanks
Is it just depends on replacing wpa_supplicant file, or something more?
Because author of this apk said that file is vary for various devices, and I'd like to request for Onda V972 V1.
Apk doesn't work.
Can I just replace it without recovery, or is a stock recovery does the same in case of not having other one?
edit.
Here is how to compile proper wpa_supplicant file for your Android version:
