[Q] Ad-Hoc Wifi

I'm trying to connect my Note to an Ad-Hoc connection. I'm sure there is something obvious I am missing for why I can't see the Ad-Hoc connection from my note 10.1 but can't figure it out and didn't see anything here.

I posted my solution in another thread here with same topic. Refer to it. But the FoxFi app is the solution to this. Google the apk because it was removed from marketplace. Install it on phone. Then install foxfi add on, on phone, that's in marketplace. Then you should be good to go. Tablet will now pick up your tethering signal. Root is not needed either(for phone or tablet). App works great on pure stock. Works fine on my pure stock SG3.

I'm not really looking for a tether solution. I can tether to my phone just fine. I specifically want to know if there is a way to get the Note 10.1 to connect to and ad-hoc network for another reason. I do presentations and sometimes. Often I can do them right from the note using the All-Share Cast Dongle, but sometimes (due to issues w/ Dongle working with certain adaptors) I have to have my laptop connected to the projector and want to control it with remote desktop with my tablet. I want to do this without relying on my host having wifi I can use. So I need ad-hoc connectivity to connect to my laptop directly without having to lug around a wireless router.
On another note, out of curiosity I tried FoxFi and it doesn't work on my phone anyway. The built-in (stock) tether app works great and is all I need.

Lopk for a wifi direct type program for your laptop or try bluetooth dun. Type connection. Pdanet could ne a solution just not sure. Some type of device to device metwork is needed .if your laptop has iis there could be a solution in it.

Hi!
I want to ask you: Have you solved this?
I also need to connect to an ad-hoc.
I've read: on some other android devices they root and replace their wpa_suplicant. Does anybody know if it is also possible on Note 10.1 ?
Sry for my english...
Thx

Never did get it to work. I'm on stock without root and just being lazy. Accomplished my task with a $20 wifi router.

[Q] Buildroid Wifi Settings Hack

Hi Everyone!
I just wonder if any master can help me in this regard. I have rooted my Tab2 (thanks to xda!!). I opened up buildroid vbox86 4.0.4 version in virtualbox (Host - win7 64 bit). When I browse from virtualbox I noticed that it showed me connected as wifi though I am working on desktop+virtualbox+ethernet broadband and without wireless interface.
So is it possible to get wireless settings from buildroid and put them into Tab2. My intention is that I need to connect Tab 2 to my desktop via usb and then with some modifications in wifi I could connect my tab2 to pc internet.
I tried several things like "Reverse tethering" that I found on this forum. But as far as just AndroidTool 2.30 helped me to browse but not to download. I want to download from market too. I am thinking of tweaking my tab2 to think that it is connected to Wifi as buildroid connects to my lan.
Thanks in advance,
Sampada

[Q] Nokia C6 (Symbian S60 5th) and hotspot (no ROOT)

Hi, at first, sorry for my bad English (Czech Republic).
I have big problem, I 've mobile Nokia C6-00, with Symbian S60 5th OS, and i need connect with my Infinity via Nokia to internet. I"ve tried Joikuspot, but Android isn't support AdHoc. When I had ICS, i connect via Nokia to internet via Bluetooth. In infinity I 've set in Bluetooth setting connect to internet via bluetooth.
Yesterday I installed JB 4.2.1. and this setting, which was in ICS is not in JB! (only if I paired in any device, for example Asus TF300T- there is this setting). Please, have anybody some idea, how i connect to internet? Please, i have tablet without root and i want it in future! Thx

Can't you just run some Wifi Hotspot app/thing on your Nokia, and then connect via WiFi as you would to any router?

I use FoxFi on Samsung S3 and PDANet Tablet on TF700 to connect to the internet via Bluetooth. My JB tablet is rooted but I think you can use PDANet without root.

My Nokia have not any aplication in system. You have to install some application wich do a hotspot, for example JoikuSpot (i thing, that its only one on Symbian).
And Android not support AdHoc.(i think)

Help with Samsung galaxy j7 sky pro hotspot

I bought a straight talk Samsung galaxy j7 sky pro and can't find the hotspot if it even has one. So I installed a hotspot from the Google play store and it says I have to root before it can be used with this phone. Can someone please tell me what that is and how to fo it? I tried looking it up on Google but I couldn't make heads or tails of it.

This works
I have this phone for straight talk and i use PDAnet for android. If you have a laptop with hotspot capabilities, you can use PDAnet on there for a USB tether. The other alternative that might work for you ( did not work for me due to some dumb error) is FoxFi. FoxFi is compatible with PDAnet too. You can use a Bluetooth connection too for some devices.
Hope it works!

What does it matter what "hotspot" capabilities you have on any other device other than a standard wifi connection? And pdanet is used on the pc or other device? What exactly turns wifi hotspot feature on on this phone according to your solution?

So I was able to connect my windows laptop to the network but not my other android phone. I have PdaNet installed on it too. So if anyone has any tips on how to get android to Android to work with this phone pls advise. I'm using the j7 Sky Pro for straight talk

I also have a J7 sky pro and have noticed when trying to connect to a pdanet hot spot (using wifi direct hotspot on another device and connecting to it with the J7) that some devices have communication issues that are hit or miss. My wife has the galaxy note 9. When hers is used as the wifi direct hot spot it will connect to the network using WPS but pdanet bugs out or something. After wps process finishes it says "WPS complete, Waiting for wifi connection. It remains stalled out there. However I did manage to get it to sucessfully connect to it ONCE (1 out of about 400 attempts) I did manage to get it to connect outside of pdanet for internet connection by using the wifi connection settings and connecting to the network there but also hit the advanced options and then set the proxy to manual then used 192.168.49.1 as the proxy address & port 8000. that allowed me to gain internet with the j7. As i said though it so far has just been with the Note 9. A friend with an S9 set his up and I could connect to it just fine. So I don't know if it is pdanet actually nerking out and having issues or if it is the communication between the devices. If you are trying to use your J7 as the hotspot set it up as wifi direct instead of the foxfi hotspot then use connect to pdanet hotspot from the other device to connect to the the J7
