Solved: how to connect a laptop via wifi and share its access to internet

I've tested several build before. eg: donut, eclair, tattoo...
I remember that I've had one build (Android 2.1 probably) by which I could use wifi to connect my laptop and access the internet.
BUT only by that build. And after that I've tried several build(also include 1.6 and 2.1), but none of them can find the wifi network of my laptop.
I've searched about this problem. It seems that it's because ad-hoc tethering is not working stablely. And I found an app named "android-wifi-tether", but it looks just used to let the computer share the mobile's connection, not the opposite direction.
(link here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/)
And I still find a complex way. But I think it's not convinient. If you change a computer, u'll have to change the wpa_supplicant.conf file again, bcz the SSID might be different.

Is there any patch for this?
==========Update 20100630=========
Finally I GOT IT!!!!!!!
Thx to kallt_kaffe's post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700669
With the build RLS6, I can connect my laptop with out modifying the two files.
And I found the tiwlan.ini is almost the same as in the other build, that's odd. BUT it really works!!!!
Thx again kallt_kaffe!!

If it's not a Kaiser/Polaris/Vogue then we're not really going to be able to offer much help, sorry.

[Q] Problems with the automatic switch Wlan/3G

Hi,
i have on my HTC Desire the Problem that if i am longer logged in a WLAN network, the automatically switch from Wlan into the 3G network is not working when i leave the WLAN.
I have to connect into the "Flightmode" and back that the Desire switch to 3G.

Does anyone have a solution for me?
Thanks in advance!

No Ideas? *hmpf* :-(

i had a similar problem on stock 2.1...my problem was my APN settings (i had a proxy listed and once i removed it, my problem was solved)

Hi, thanks for your reply.
I have no entry for the proxy in my APN. :-(
Also i reseted my APN Settings to default - it seems that this is not the problem?!

see if you can find the APN settings for your specific carrier on the internet to check they are correct...other than that, i have no idea, sorry

Yes, i double checked the APN details...
Thank you for your help... Hopefully the problem will be gone if HTC release an offical 2.3 Gingerbread ROM and the developers here can use this one?!
Pity...

Move up...
A long time ago since i started this thread, but the problem is still the same.
Anyone here who can help now?
thx

WiFi problem with Miui v.4.0.4

Hey guys!
I have just installed MIUI ICS 4.0.4 by Marange on my HTC Desire.
Just as previous version, it is not able to find my wireless modem signal.
I have switched between a range of channels (1-14 one by one) and regions over modem console, but problem still remains
I also tested the solution explained by dk_zero-cool , here, but it didn't work as well.
Does anybody know how to solve this issue?

I had a problem similar to yours with Sandvolds Rom. During install I could choose between two DHCP-Clients, with the first one I didn't get a connection to my wlan, the second one worked...

Thanks dude,
But I could fix it temporary by changing the wifi_coumtry_code into 'JP'
instead of default one in secure table inside /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
The bad point is, each time phone restarts, i should set it again.
Is there any way to write a script for that?
P.S: You live in Stuttgart yes?!
I am about to head off to Stuttgart in September, and am going to stay there for 2 years. Which mobile provider do you suggest me to use? Thank you...

Maybe you should try to change the Radio,I use the 5.14.05.17.

[MIUI 3.2] Cannot connect to wifi (WPA2/PSK+AES)

Hi.
Yesterday I donwloaded MIUI 3.2 and was very much happy with it until I found out I cannot connect to my wireless. In fact my SSID is not even listed. The only ones I see are the ones with TKIP encryprion, but as much as I know/read wireless n + TKIP is a no-go. Tried to setup a connection manually with no luck.
I have no problems connecting to my wireless with CM9 alpha5, Hensemod7 and MIUI v4.
Searching forums did not give any desirable results.
My setup:
Wireless: TP-LINK 1043ND w/ stock firmware; wireless b/g/n; WPA2/PSK+AES
Phone: HTC Wildfire S A510e; S-ON; unlocked bootloader (htcdev)
Any help/info would be appreciated.
TIA

SOLVED
The problem was wifi channel.
Some time ago I've set up my router to channel #13 whitch according to Wifi Analyzer was least crowded one.
Using CM9 alpha5, Hensemod7 and MIUI v4. ROMs this was not an issue. Switching to channel #1 solved my problem.
Hope this helps someone.

[Q] wifi & 3G

Hi! I have htc one (M8) and I have problem with wifi at home... when I open app which need internet and i use wifi it will open about 10% of the app (I try with IMDB) and when I put on data mobile it work's perfect(3G or 4G). Second thing.. when I am in local bar everything works normaly over wifi. I have Lolipop 5.01. Please someone help.
Best regards, Ozren

If it works on a different WiFi router, but not at your home, its likely an issue with the router. Try:
- Power-cycle the router (you'd be amazed at how many WiFi connection issues this solves)
- Try different encryption type on your WiFi network (WPA versus WPA2) in particular if your router is using WEP, change it since not only is that type obsolete and not very secure, but don't play well with some modern devices
- Some router brands simply don't play well with this phone, so not a lot of choice to fix that aside from a new router (maybe update router firmware?)

i did try all things above , but still no luck with that...
i have other htc one m7 who have kitekat and everything works perfect.
could be a problem in lollipop os ?

Lollipop in general, I don't think so. I haven't seen many reports of WiFi issues.
With that specific router, who knows, its possible.
How did you get to Lollipop?

I have the exact same problem , my router is ZTE , twitter works fine for few refreshes then start showing a connection error message , same with whatsapp , cant download the media , have you found and solution for this ? My M8 is the tawain version modelid: 0P6B11000 , cidnum: HTC__621

Update : Using a different router solved the problem , but i still do not understand why using the ZTE router is not working , i would suggest as my M8x is Asian edition , the radio got some restrictions , so i will try to get my device S-Off and flash the international radio , it might fix the problem.

I know it's been a long time but, can you tell us what's the brand of the router that you've been using when you had the problems?
