how to use adhoc wifi?how to use adhoc wifi?

As I know adhoc NOT supported
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

There is something called "wifi Direct" which might be another name for the same thing. Read about it in the user manual, which can be downloaded from Samsung in a pdf. Sorry no link.

If your trying to use the Adhoc to tether other devices to your Note to use it's data connection, then you go into your Settings -> Wireless and network -> Tethering and portable hotspot, enable this, set up a password if you wish, then you can connect to it via wifi now.

Does the phone see wifi adhoc?
Sorry to bring up this thread, didn't want to start a new one.
Now that many people own the nexus. Can someone tell me if the phone can connect to a wifi adhoc? To avoid misunderstanding, this is not the same as tethering phone's internet to other devices (that what's Wifi Direct is about, I think). This is the phone using internet from pc via adhoc wifi (for example using the program Connectify).
Thanks

There is a guide for galaxy s2, just google it (cannot post link), you need to change wpa_supplicant file
Worked for me

sorry for bringing it up again.
changed wpa_supplicant to the one from galaxy s2 and changed permissions. But didnt work for me!
Anyone got files for me so i can use adhoc wifi?
i really need it! thanks a lot guys

If you used this guide "Connect to adhoc Wireless Networks on your Galaxy S2 (SC-02C)" the is should work, maybe it depends on firmware, I have N7000XXKK5

well with this wpa_supplicant i can see the ad-hoc but i cant connect.
And although my note freezes if i use this one. isnt there one especially build for the SGN?
i have kernel N7000XXKK9

I don't understand, if you want to connect to a PC via wifi to use the PC's internet, then isn't it then down to setting the PC as the adhoc and connecting you phone via wifi as if it was connecting to an wireless router? Or Wi-Fi Direct (which is the phone connecting to other devices, not other devices connecting to the phone i.e. tethering)? Can anyone clarify what the issue is?

The issue is that, by default, the Nexus can't see adhoc wifi and therefore can't connect to it. You need to somehow modify wpa-supplicant to be able to see adhoc wifi.

yup, thats it!
But we are in Galaxy note forum although the problem is the same..

Oh I see, I did not realise that there was such an issue, thanks for clarifying that for me!

You can make wifi hotspot (if you have wifi) from your pc by Connectify.
oh, i have to make a wifi access point in my laptop then coonect via phone the internet shares..?
or u talking about a option in the phone which named wifi hotspot .??
I forget the steps in Windows XP, but for Windows 7 go to the
-Network and Sharing Center
-Set up a new connection or network
-Set up a wireless adhoc (computer to computer) network
and follow the steps to setting up the connection. Then, at the last step, enable internet sharing. It'll let other computers, or, well, anything that can access a wireless network connect to your PC. Secure it with a password if you want to be safe.
Notes: Some devices will not be able to connect. There may be a software bug or they've not been designed to work with adhoc networks. I'm not sure if the laptop can connect to an alternative wireless network while it's hosting an adhoc network. If you want to share internet, you may need to be plugged directly in with an Ethernet cable.
Yeah my internet connection is from my lan..
but my phone don't detect my network which created from laptop, what's the problem..?
How is this is Nexus one Q&A? This is not even android related lol

You're probably creating it using the way described above, ad-hoc network setup. Android by default doesn't recognize ad-hoc networks. Some custom ROMs solve this issue, but stock setup won't allow you to see the ad-hoc network. Use Connectify.
Thank u very much but unfortunately this only works in 7, i have vista now....
I want share my pc internet with my Nexus one, isn't here best place for asking such a question ??

Sorry, I've been using CyanMod for too long I can never remember if it's supported by default or not.
To the OP, sorry if I've caused any inconveniences.
i'm using connectify now, but still my phone can't find the network, waht should i do??????
Did you set your network to Infrastructure? Also make the SSID visible, do not hide it.
i'm using v2 & i can't see such setting that u said, where can i find them to change..?
IF you have a windows 7 PC, i advise you to use conectify or virtual rooter. You can also follow the instructions in the following link - http://www.technospot.net/blogs/how-to-enable-windows-7-virtual-wifi/ - it will enable in your windows 7 pc a virtual ap). Hope it helps you

reverse tethering?

greetings,
just got my first android phone a week ago. captivate. kicks arse. anyways ive been wondering if there is a way to 'reverse tether'. in other words share my pc internet with my phone so i dont have to use so much of my data. i dont have wifi on my pc but i have a bluetooth dongle that plugs into usb that enables connection of bluetooth devices. i was thinking maybe i could tunnel thru the bluetooth and somehow access internet thru that. wishful thinking or a possibility?
Actually what u want to do is create a adhoc network where ur computer sends out wifi via a incripted network go to network and sharing center and go to create a adhoc network u can look it up in ur help guide its differing with each operating system hoped I helped

Ad hoc eh? Been seeing ad hoc something-or-anothers in the market and whatnot and wasn't sure what it was. That would be setup within windows on mah pc correct? And then mah phone would just recognize it as an available wifi connection?

Non rooted phones can't connect to Ad-Hoc networks.
Yeah im rooted. Should have made that clear right off the bat, sorry. That being said, it IS possible then to tunnel thru the bluetooth dongle and use my pc's internet? Remember, my pc doesnt have wifi
Just cable internet. Im just looking too leech off my pc with my phone and not vice-versa.

Hmm. Thanks..

Since the PC has bluetooth, you can create a Bluetooth NAP or PAN on the PC side. This creates a "personal area network" that you can then connect to from the phone. Some bluetooth PC software supports this, some do not. Depends what your dongle supports!
right on! thanks for the reply.
i was actually trying the PAN option yesterday after discovering it via google. couldnt get it to work tho. i get stuck at the part where i have to select the service i am wanting. it says the only services available from my captivate are Active sync, Headset Gateway, Object Push, Obex File Transfer. Active Sync seemed to be the closest thing but when selected it doesnt add a shortcut in my devices like the options do so i figured it didnt work. far as i know active sync id for winmobile or something anyways so i wasnt counting on it.
Any advise from here? It's all very much appreciated.
This too must have already been covered. I'll look elsewhere.

As said before, unfortunately Android does seem to connect to Ad-Hoc networks easily.If you are running Windows 7, you can use Connectify to create a WiFi hotspot and connect through that.
The other alternate is to create an Ad-Hoc network and join that network. I have not been able to get this working correctly yet but other phones have.
The problem is that the native wpa_supplicant filters all the ad-hoc networks from the wifi network list.
You can get the patched wpa_supplicant with allows you to see all the networks here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961
Remember to get the 0.6.x version.
Then I believe you have to set your wifi to use a static ip to be able to connect.
The last time I tried I managed to get a connection on Froyo ROMS but no data. It just might be my settings on either ends.
excellent reply. thanks are in order here.
For closure, I ended up using connectify. Works perfectly.

[Q] can't connect to a wifi

hi!
i was wondering, any of you can connect to an android phone running Barnacle? my SGT can't detect my mini pro's internet data connection (via Barnacle) but it doesn't have any problem connecting to my router or even to my laptop.
====
update:
just found out that the SGT can't connect to an adhoc network?
i've checked and said that the possible workaround is to change the "wpa_supplicant" but when i did replaced the existing "wpa_supplicant", i can't detect any wireless network.
anybody who knows a workaround?

Just delete all your wifi connections and turn of phone then turn on and work

This definitely works on the P1010. Read the post and you'll understand how it works. If not let me know. And I'll try to explain.

[Q] ad-hoc wifi on Galaxy Note

Hi,
I'd like to share my 3G access on Nokia E71 to my Galaxy Note.
On the E71, there is a software to share the network over ad-hoc wifi connection. (Joikuspot)
But as far as I know , wpa_supplicant on Galaxy Note does not support ad-hoc.
Is there a modified wpa_supplicant which supports ad-hoc for Galaxy Note ?
p.s: this method is working on my previous phone Dell Streak
Thanks.
hi,
I've found one wpa_supplicant on another forum. but that doesn't work. (wifi can't go enabled)
is there no wpa_supplicant suitable for Galaxy Note ?
any interest in this ?
Have u try barnacle wifi tether?
I exactly dont remember but it was barnacle or wireless tether that i hav used on sgs, that i think support ad hoc
I'd like to use default system settings, not a 3rd party app.
So a wpa_supplicant would be lovely.
where can we find one ?
maybe something for SGS II would do...
ok; I got it from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115610
works fine...
attaching here if anyone needs.
just have to manually configure DNS (or put a /etc/resolv.conf with nameservers)
but I already did that to support VPN connections.
I tried this method and copied the file you gave but did not work. The wifi is still working fine but not ad hoc. Do u have any idea why?
disregard that, it worked perfectly. Thanks

hey.. with your file i was able to detect my wifi hotspot (connectify) that i made on my laptop (win 7). but its is not connecting. it just shows searching for ip address. i dont know the configuration for ip settings (in wifi settings/advanced in phone). i dont think i have static ip either for my internet. im trying to share a wireless data card connection (mts mblaze). what should i do? what settings should i put in ip settings in the Note (ip address, dns1,dns2 etc..)
I found the application Wifi Ad Hoc enabler on the market and it worked grate for me, now i can see any ad hoc and connect normally
I'd like to know about this as well.
it seems I can see my adhoc connections but I CAN'T Connect to them. Any help would be nice.

No, above solution is for GB ROM only, on newer ROMs (ICS&JB) it's not working. I know in Windows 7 there is a solution with virtual (or soft) AP, but in Windows XP it's not a solution, because XP has no support for softAP, only ad-hoc networks (so programs like Connectify or mhotspot, VirtualRouter, etc. NOT works.) At my office i have only Windows XP & ad-hoc network, and this is why i need working ad-hoc mode on my Note.
So, up to now, i tried at least 10 modded wpa_supplicant file on my Note, and none of them worked. Some of them had blocked WIFI on Note, others had worked, but don't seen the ad-hoc networks (like the original wpa_supplicant), so i think maybe the problem it's not only wpa_supplicant related. I found an ICS ROM (ICS_Stunner) which claims that has support for ad-hoc connections, but i didn't tried out, because its outdated (i only extracted the wpa_supplicant file from ROM and tried on my current JB rom, but didn't works).
So i think we need a good developer who can resolve this...
now there is a cream & cookies JB rom from the sam developer of ICS Stunner. If stunner had it.. it should be in this rom as well. worth a try i would say.

Ad hoc support for ics?

Hi,
Is there any sulotions for ICS to support ad hoc? I have searched alot and I need to connect my Note to my PC's internet. The problem is that my pc is to old to support connectify etc...
Reverse tethering app uses my data plan in order to appear the connection as 3G. And it uses cable. Not good enough.
Ad hoc would be best option.
Thank you

If you ever heard of an application for Nokia called JOIKU HOTSPOT you will be interested on this topic. I use joiku hotspot on my nokia phone to enable to connect to multiple devices at home. I don't have wired internet. Since this is an ahhoc wifi hotspot I am not updating to ICS unless a hack is available to enable wpa supplicant to "see" the joiku adhoc signal. On gingerbread I had to download and install a modified wpa supplicant file to connect to joiku .

I have used joiku on my nokia
exactly i still dont understand wat exact you want.
You saying reverse tethering have some issue - Now reverse tether application using your wired Internet of your PC for your android device
While Joiku spot is for sharing your device network to PC
So question is you want to share net from your device to PC
OR
want to share PC internet to device?
Edit :wat i understand now is
You dont have wifi router, but just you have created wireless netwok (virtual) and you want to share your device net to PC wirelessly
if yes
try this, it have ad hoc support if i remember correctly, since long i have not used it.

I don't know. It is strange. If i have no credits in my sim card, and I connect to internet via the app, it goes fine. But I can't see connection as 3G and some apps don't work due to this.
Then when I put credits to my sim card, the connection appears as 3G. And the data plan button turns green whenb checking in setings. If i turn of I lose coonection as 3G. Some times it doesn't use data plan, but often it does.
BTW, I never use data plan for anything it is always disabled, but the reverse tether app turns on.
No idea what is wrong.

OMG! He said that the reverse tether is not using my data plan. Thats why I wrote that and thats why i ASKED in first post if someone have a solution for AD HOOOOC.
I never asked for anything else than a solution for ad hoc support for ICS for galaxy note.
And u shoud had started ur own post with ur nokia. U ruined the thread too
