[Q] Ad-hoc mode support in HoneyComb 3.2

Hi all
Is ad-hoc mode supported in Honeycomb 3.2? For me it's the only way when tether with my old Windows Mobile 6.5...
Thanks!

would be nice if somebody answered this question .... ?
it's come up a couple of times since the update without response.
as a side-note, if anybody has managed to internet-tether through a wm6.5 phone (like my htc hd2) either by wifi or bluetooth * WITHOUT RE-FLASHING THE PHONE TO ANDROID * (not interested in doing that) then how did you make it work?
ironically (and frustratingly), my older WM6 htc tytn II (kaiser) internet-tethers with the asus via bluetooth straight out of the box, so it can be done.

I can confirm that after Update to Honeycomb 3.2 my HTC LEO(WM6.5.x) can
share data (Internet)over Wifi-Router!
Test it few minutes before

ahhhah! this rocks!!!
From the start this update was kind of disappointed for me... until now: with these great news it's more balanced (the lag's stock browser will kick me the ass for sure, I don't know what is the reason for leaving this bug unresolved )
Thanks a lot for your time leonore

I assume I'm doing something wrong but I'm using non rooted 3.2 and when I tried to see if I could use it with Joiku on my Nokia the Transformer would not see the hotspot, although my laptop had no problem connecting to it. If adhoc is working is there some setting that has to be changed for it to see it?

My Tf does NOT support ad-hoc. Stock 3.2.

I have not heard anything from the release notes anywhere about Android 3.2 now supporting Ad-Hoc networks. But to the OP, I tried everything to get my WM6.5 phone to tether to my GTab 6 months ago and never could get it to work properly because my WMWifiRouter program on my WinMo phone created a Ad-Hoc network. I could connect to any laptop but no Android systems. In the end, I just went and bought a new Android phone and tethering was a breeze. I never looked back...

this is weird. Leonore, how do you share the connection with the phone? what software are you using? the only way I know with a WM is WMrouterwifi. I haven't the last version but I guess it only supports ad-hoc mode...

Bye the way, you can easily share your wm6 internet through Bluetooth with WMWifiRouter. It works great!

really? I read TF was unable to connect via bluetooth due to some sort of limitation in the driver (something like ad-hoc case) . I'll give it a try right now.
Do you have some special configuracion / software on TF? are you rooted?

I never tried tethering through Bluetooth just because of the speed limitation. I guess if you just needed a quick fix but it brings back the old memories of 14.4k dial-up... lol

Bluetooth's 2.0 data rate is around 2 Mbits, quite low but enough for me as a temporal access. I'll use it only on vacations time, in my summer place. It's a very little town and in that place 3g really sucks.

uaah! I tried it and it works like a charm!!! without additional software in the TF, and the battery drains slower than wifi.
I guess this way is easier than wifi, there is no need to configure DHCP, the only thing is the pin code.
This saved the day pal, I was very displeased with the missing support for ad-hoc in 3.2. For me it's a very basic feature.
Thanks a lot Dauntless!

I'm using Barnacle Wifi Tether on my Xperia X10 and my TF tethers to it just fine.
I'm also using "Auto-Tether" and I'd highly recommend it; it allows you to enable tethering and to turning tethering on and off from the TF...very handy...you don't even have to take your phone out of the holster!
EDITED TO CORRECT; I just realized that I wasn't REALLY able to connect; I had to use the special WPA_supplicant file here on XDA...so the answer is....nope....not until you root and use that replacement WPA file.

Hi Olopeich,
in my own cooked HTC LEO Rom with Wifi_Router

hang on, so you are saying the stock hd2 wifi router app doesn't work but what does work is some unspecified cooked rom of yours?
what have you done to make it work then?
re. bluetooth tethering, this definitely does not work on the hd2 using wmwifirouter (BT option greyed-out) or ny any other means that i can fathom.
as i said BT DOES work with my old wm6 tytn II, both in wmwifirouter and directly via the OS.

can anybody else confirm ad-hoc wifi tethering now working in 3.2?

can anybody else confirm ad-hoc wifi tethering now working (or not) in 3.2?

I just checked and I still cannot see ad-hoc networks from the TF running 3.2. So, it is confirmed that 3.2 still does NOT support ad-hoc networks.

Wifi Fix (pro'ly all devices)

putting this up for those on cm7 (especially 2.3.5 and above) or on stock rom and are having problems with wifi connectivity. case in point is upon first boot after a clean install, device can connect to wifi w/ apparently no problems. on subsequent wifi wake, however, it's either wifi is:
stuck in scanning
connects then disconnects or
all network/s are not in range
...even though other devices such as laptops or iWhatever have no problems connecting & browsing.
you may also need to set the regulatory domain on your device (settings-->wireless & networks-->wifi settings-->menu-->advanced) depending on your region (ch.11 works for me here in the philippines). this should match (or be higher than) the one you'll set on your router, as attached.
got this to work on three legends (one on a dlink router and the rest on different models of linksys) and on a dhd(?), router unknown. this is not THE end-all/ultimate solution, however. consider it as a first step in troubleshooting. HTH

Hello everybody! My HTC Legend is not rooted. Yesterday i bought new router D-Link DIR 615. Everything is ok: my laptop founds the WiFi, my girlfriend cellphone (Nokia 5230) founds the WiFi and it works awesome for them, BUT my HTC Legend don't see the WiFi at all. I disableb the WiFi Protected Setup but still nothing. Made the Beacon period to 30 but still nothing. I config the router without any type of security but still no detecting the WiFi. The 802.11 mode is mixed, Auto Channel is on too and still nothing. Please any opinions?! Thank you in advance!
P.S. I am sorry for my bad english!

[Q] UG802 Mini Android PC

Hello guys!
I recently bought UG802 Mini PC stick but it is unable to find any wifi network at all! I opened the case to see if the wifi antenna is properly connected, and found no problem at all. UG802 still can not find the router. Is there a solution for this?
Is it hardware or software problem?
Thank you in advance!

Could you give some more details?
- What build Android, Kernel and ROM version?
- Did you flash any new Kernel/ROM e.g the excellent Finless/2dark4you 1.7 ROM (refer to Freaktab forum for more details.) ...this is the ROM that I have on my UG802.
- Do you have any other devices working with your Wifi network?
- Can you see any other Wifi networks in UG802s Wifi settings?
- Is wired connection working e.g. using USB ethernet?
A good idea is to monitor Freaktab and ArmTVTech forum and you will find a lot of experts and information about Mini PC like UG802.

check router settings. i had similar problem but i changed router profile from wifi g to wifi b/g/n

Thanks for the replies!
All the other wifi devices find the network. These are 3 phones, 1 tablet and 2 laptops. The mini PC does not detect any other wifi network at all, and I'm sure there are at least a couple of them around.
It is with the stock ROM, I didn't root it... yet.
Will try to do what you guys suggest.
Thanks a lot again!

So whatever I did, I couldn't make WiFi work.
The solution for me was to buy an USB Ethernet adapter and an USB hub, and now I have internet on my mini android PC.
I shall continue to search for a way to make the wifi work.

Sv: [Q] UG802 Mini Android PC
Today there are atleast three different versions/models of UG802, with small differences. Wifi could get lost on two of them, but only if a custom ROM is flashed. Stock ROM should work fine.
Maybe your supplier flashed a custom ROM on it, I know that they sometimes do that.
Check what ROM you have in settings menu.
Some more information is found here:
FreakTab.com/showthread.php?t=3382

Possible wifi fix
I had problems with my wifi when I first got my ug802. I did some research online and found that the supposed 2 amp provided power supply was at fault. I plugged into my iPad 2.1 amp power supply and my wifi began to work just fine.

Problems with 3G Sticks

hi,
im using erisin 4046 MTCD KGL with 5.1.1
every Stick i tried (huaweis Exxx) wont work out of box.
Sometimes the Stick works on 50% bootups
and sometypes loses the internet connection while am driving trough a good connection area.
Im already using an active USB-Hub with external power from radio ACC and GND, so thaths couldnt be the problem?
Also interesting: Some Sticks appears as 3G Bar-Icon like Wlan and some two-pc-icon.
Is there a way to reset the Stick trough app/terminal?
I cant disconnect the stick while drive because its included behind the radio.

Sticks with sd slot are shown as a drive and did not work for me.
Without I got the same problems. Huawei offers an app. So you can reboot via this.
At the moment using a mobile Wlan hot-spot from Huawei. Works much better.
Getapped and getalked with 6603

servus
none of the sticks were shown as SD-Slots.
What you mean with app for reboot? Reboot entire device or simply the stick?
Could you show/explain me the wlan hotspot you mean?

This stick did not work correctly = Huawei E355.
This hot-spot works good = Huawei E5330.
This app controls both = Huawei hikink. See play store.
Getapped and getalked with 6603

so this means:
if i have a LTE Card, i could also use a 4G hotspot?
but i have no idea which is supported..
okay easy:
Huawei e5577 is that what i want LTE

I am using a Huawei E1750 with deactivated CD Drive and SD Slot and it works like a charm!
Use this AT command: AT^U2DIAG=0
(further info: http://www.3g-modem-wiki.com/page/Huawei+AT-commands)

how to set these commands?
trough terminal?

Hello,
I tested a few modems and every time there were problems on the route. Modems often lost their reach and did not connect again. You had to disconnect and reconnect it. On the 650 km route the internet was maybe 20% off the route.
I am fully satisfied only after the purchase of Huawei E5573. Connected via USB is turned on only when the radio is turned on. When turned off the radio turns itself off after one hour. The Internet transmits to the radio via USB. Of course WIFI works for other devices. The same way as with previous modems - 90% of connections. All the way 650 km I listened to TuneIn Radio. It broke 4 times in total.
Summarizing:
- KIANO Q7600 - Only 3G, often lost their reach
- Huawei E173u-2 - Only 3G, often lost their reach
- Huawei E3131 - Only 3G, often lost their reach
Huawei E5573 - LTE/3G/2G - Very good reach.

The HUAWEI E3372 LTE Surfstick is also working perfect. It's not showing if you have a 3G or 4G Connection in the Status Bar, just the Network Symbol. Important, you have to disable PIN Authentification for the SIM Card first in the HUAWEI Software or it does not work with your Unit. Typing 192.168.8.1 in your Unit Webbrowser, you can access the Stick Webinterface where you can check the Connection and so on.

thats realy annoying...
i modded two huawei sticks E173 and E303 including modem firmware update with the command AT^U2DIAG=0
but still connection/mini icon loss
i realy think about E5577 wlan hotspot solution...

Hi, many LTE units appear as network cards to android, thus you see a two computers icon in the starus bar instead of a radio signal icon.
When you use these LTE sticks, you are unable to use wifi for two reasons: first because the radio is unable to connect to any hotspot (I don't know why) and second because ever a wired network is preferred over a wifi network. This is sometimes a problem just because LTE is not a wited connection, but android thinks so, and you cannot use wifi anymore...
UPDATE: I've noticed that on the new android version of my Erisin HU 20161220, is possible to use wifi while LTE stick is connected, and android prefers wifi over LTE.

I have the exakt same issues. We should collect logs and send them to the support.

im already in touch with erisin support, they mean all sticks are bad... (haha) only official erisin sticks are supported.
When im thinking about their official DAB+ antenna which isnt working... haha bad news for all erisin devices
My best practice way is actually:
-active USB-Hub with external 12v power
-usb cable extender away from any radio/magnet field/heat (on bmw e46, behind the speedometer) and then plugged in huawei E173 with newest firmware (appears as 3G icon)

we should donate to @Malaysk for a good rom for RK3288 / PX5 unites.
@Malaysk

i've bought a huawei 5577C and will integrate it into car.
i think that will resolve all f**** 3G issues.
i will feedback after 1-2weeks of using

Hi buddy,
Some questions for you as I am thinking about buying the same router.
Does it turn on when you start your car?
Does it work without battery?
Does it kind of go to sleep when you are not using it?
I'm on E3131 with firmware from Hilink version, works really good but it's bit slow cause it's only 3G and I miss WiFi that I could you use to mirror my iOS device.
I also have E5251 but it sometimes need to be reset for the wifi to work (even if it's connected via USB)

I just ordered an Huawei E5573. Attaching just a "modem stick" really sucked.
Did you manage to operate the router without the battery, just powered by USB? It does not start when I remove the battery....

Bluetooth Tethering Issue

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.
