Hey guys,
Is anyone facing the same problem with android devices? I have heard that iphones do that automatically but for android, you have to download a third party app in order to make ur wifi switch between router and repeater.... Any solutions for that?

Well i used to use a lg optimus one and i used Barnacle tether for wifi tethering to xbox 360 and It all worked great. Yesterday i bought a Samsung Galaxy tab 2 7.0 Gt-p3100.Today i rooted it with a program called odin and some other file all working great. Then i installed Barnacle tether to play some xbox live but when i tried to start it it shows an error
Code:
WIFI: Could not set ad-hoc mode of wlan0: Operation not supported on transport endpoint
So i tried an other Wifi there program And it dint work either then i tried the one thats already in android it works but i get nat error. When i used to use barnacle i never used to get that error. i cant use my lg optimus anymore cuz i sold it. Please help me I searched a lot and havent found a solution.
Barnacle tethering not usually supported with Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
As far as I can tell and in my experience with Barnacle and my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, the issue often is that the Galaxy Tab doesn't support viewing or connecting to ad-hoc networks. And most, if not all, of the apps available on the play store that say they can tether your wifi are set up by using an AD-HOC network to share their internet. So if you are trying to do what many people are then I assume you are using a android mobile phone to share the internet connection to your tablet, am I correct??
I have been asked by a couple of people about the possibilities of using their phone to tether their wifi connection to their android tablet, and it typically does not work. But I have found after hours of searching in these forums and on other sites that there are some scenarios in which you might be able to configure the two devices (with root of course, possibly with a patch and some file adjustments, or even maybe through a mod on both the phone and the tablet) so that they can share your mobile internet connection wirelessly. If you look in the forums for either your phone model and/or your tablet model you will find that some people have fixed the issue with wifi tethering from phone to tablet with the tools I mentioned. It seems like a common method that works for some people involves first having root access on both the tablet and the phone, then with the correct "wpa_supplicant" patch or mod, it is possible to fix the problem but I have tried it several times on different devices and with different methods to the process and only 1 time did I successfully get a decent internet connection from a mobile phone to an android tablet (it was on a galaxy tab2) while using a third party app from the google play store.
So it's not entirely impossible to tether your phone internet to tablet using an app like Barnacle or the other dozens of wifi tethers in the play store and even on other sites, but it just doesn't seem to be consistent on all devices and there isn't one exact or simple way to actually fix the issue. The alternative way to share your phones internet through wifi to a tablet that has always worked for me is if your phone actually has its own wireless tether or mobile hotspot app or function already built-in to the system. This type of wifi tethering does not use AD-HOC networking so there is no issue when it puts out a wifi signal for your tablet to pick up. I would definitely say keep searching in the forums here and even on the web in general for new apps for tethering or possible mods that fix the issue because there are a lot of people having this issue so chances are there are people working on a solution to the problems. Another way I've seen a friend get around the problem is by of course rooting his phone flashing recovery then installing a custom rom that had a mobile hotspot feature built-in to the system (because at that point his phone did not have the same feature in stock rom or system, and the many different wifi tethers we tried to use didn't seem to work on his tablet either). It took a lot of trial and error, meaning we had to just keep trying different apps, roms, set ups, mods, basically anything we could adjust or add to the phone and sometimes even the tablet, we tried over and over using different phones and a few tablets all different models and manufacturers just to see what might work. In the end he was using his HTC phone (i think it was an Incredible) with root and a custom rom that had mobile hotspot feature already in system as an optional tether, and we got a few different tablets to connect without any real issues, but each tablet is different so every now and then one of us had to play with settings or at the most root the tablet and tweak things to get a good stable and consistent internet connection from his phone that ultimately was coming from his wireless cellular service which was 3G on VZW back then.
With all of that stated, goodluck with your tethering, and I hope something I said might have helped you in any way or at least explained what the issue could be......I guess what I'm trying to say in general is that the stock galaxy tablet system doesn't pick up the AD-HOC type of network that most of those wifi tethering apps usually use to share the internet connection. So if there is any chance of getting it to work, it all depends on different tablet models or phone models or again the simple fix is not to use a tethering app and to use the built-in function or mobile hotspot feature that some phones have already. Or just do what I do, and keep searching forums and websites for different methods that other people have found that work and try them out for yourself to see if it applies to your set up as well.
Gdluck,

At work we installed a new WiFi router a few months back. The connection is open and no one needs a password to connect to it. But many who bought android phones recently arent able to connect to it. I have a OnePlus One with android 4.4.4 which doesnt connect to the WiFi. My colleagues own Xiaomi, Motorola phones which they bought recently, which also doesnt connect to the internet.
The phones detect the WiFi signal, says the network is saved but fails to connect to it no matter what. The temporary solution is to make our laptop into a WiFi router and use it but this is seriously annoying. The router is from HP and I dont know the exam model number for it at the moment
I will be grateful if someone can find any solution for this problem. Also, I am a novice when it comes to gadgets so, if your suggestion is to manually set up my WiFi settings please do so with clear instructions or a video of some sort. However I will be happy if this problem gets solved in a straightforward manner.
Please help!

No need to configure wifi on your device IMO.
Sounds like an issue with the wifi router.
To check an fix the internet settings of the wifi router, you will need the adminstrative access/console/password for the router.
Then you can check that all new devices afre allowed to connect. On some routers you can restrict the access to a list of known devices or by enabling a MAC address filtering.
If you find such options on the HP wifi router, disable it and restart the wifi.
And make sure that the SSID of the wifi network is visible (= not hidden). Some Android devices have issue connecting to hidden networks.
Thread closed. Thank you.
Hi all. I'm having problems using the GoPro app to control my camera from my phone. The app relies on the phone connecting to an ad-hoc WiFi network generated by the GoPro camera. The problem is that the phone keeps switching to my home WiFi. I presume this happens because the router signal is stronger than the camera's. However, in this case I want to connect to the camera regardless of signal quality.
I've searched XDA and the web at large and can't find a way to prioritise a given WiFi network over all others in Android 5. This makes it very hard or sometimes impossible to use the GoPro app at home.
Does anyone know a good way to solve this? Apparently KitKat had the option to prioritise a connection straight out of the box, but that option isn't available in Lollipop :/

You need to use an app that prioritises one ssid over another.
I've never used it, but this one has good reviews:

Thanks a lot, I'll try that.
Why would Google remove this option from the WiFi advanced settings, though? It makes it a pain to use devices that create ad-hoc networks... Does anyone know if there is a planned comeback in future releases?
Hi all,
Is there any way I can prioritize the WiFi my phone is connecting to without third party apps? Basically I just want to say "if you can connect to this WiFi network, then do it. If it's not accessible at all, then try this other one... etc.". Right now it connects to whatever you have saved before, kind of randomly... I don't think it even connects to the one that has better signal!
Thanks!
Hi, i never saw such a feature baked in, so you have to use 3rd-party apps for now
Hi,
I have recently (last week) joined the OnePlus party by getting myself the 7 Pro after being with Samsung since the S2 days.
I like the phone but there are a few issues I am having.
The main issue I am having is the Bluetooth Tethering. I need this for when I am in my car (Mercedes use this method for internet connectivity). I switch it on and try to connect but after a while it just tells me that the data connection is temporarily unavailable. My mobile data works fine so I'm assuming that isn't the issue. When I am parked on my drive and in range of my home WiFi and I try and connect the connection is successful. It is as if the phone is blocking the mobile data connection when accessing via bluetooth tethering. This wasn't an issue on my Note 9 using the same SIM.
Does anybody have a fix for this or are having similar issues? If this cannot work then it is a deal breaker for me and I'll be reluctantly returning the phone to Amazon.
On a side note I have even tried changing the dun status via ADB Shell after finding what was supposed fix online but it did not help.
Thanks
I am no Bluetooth expert, and it may not apply here, but there are a number of various Bluetooth settings that can be altered in the Developers setting. Maybe something there can help???
Hi Jaseman,
I shall look into that. Currently doing a full backup of the phone to my PC before doing a downgrade from Android 10 to 9. I'm hearing that 10 is buggy so I'm hoping that is the culprit.
Thank you for your reply.
