It's NOT ARC's problem, it's google android system doesn't support the ADHOC mode.
But it's annoying that android still doesn't support AD-HOC network. So if you want to use the phone with another ADHOC wifi spot, eg, my mobile broadband contract with unlimited data, ARC cannot "SEE" the ADHOC network. Any ideas?
There is something done on the system/bin/wpa_supplicant but that wouldn't apply to 2.3 system.
I need ad-hoc support too.. Anyone succeed to enable it ?
Anyone has any ideas on how to enable it ?
Nothing new about ad-hoc on xperia arc ? I tried to replace my wpa_supplicant with files from other ROMS, and it didn't worked.
Anyone succeed to enable ad-hoc support on xperia arc ?
plz help. i really need ad-hoc support
As far as i know, you need a wifi dongle with Access point capabilities and then you should install connectify on your pc, that should let it function as a wifi router, if not the only other option is buying a wifi router, which is pretty cheap nowadays.

i know that our Desire Z support DLNA, but i'm pretty bumped that it doesn't support seeing/connecting to ad-hoc networks... i need that because i want to connect the phone to my xbox, without connecting xbox to the internet... the only way to do it is to turn off internet connection from the router, and make xbox connect to it...
i made some tweaks to the wifi, but only got to a "place" where my wifi could see Ad-Hoc, but can't connect to it...
so my question is, did they add the feature to connect to Ad-Hoc networks on ICS??
thank you!

Is there a script or app or ROM that will enable Ad hoc network connectivity with WEP security?
In my classroom I have a mac sharing its wired connection over its wireless card - instant wi-fi. Until recently it has been unsecured and I connected my phone to the network via wi-fi.
Recently I've had to add a WEP password as students have discovered the SID. Now my Samsung won't connect. It sees it just fine but won't connect even with the password.
Please Advise how to make the connection.
Thx.
Aww man! No help on this?
To recap - I can see and join ad hoc wifi network when there is no WEP security in place. When I add a password then I can see the network and try to join the network, but when I enter the password nothing happens. It thinks for a while and then it disconnects.
Any solutions? Or recommendations about what would be the correct forum to ask in?
Sounds weird, as our phones don't normally support connecting to ad-hoc WiFi at all. The only ROM that does support it as far as I know is Alien ROM:

I'm not sure how you managed to connect to ad-hoc in the first place, and if it's not ad-hoc then it should already support WEP out of the box.
I'm using the GingerSnap ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1418293
FiveOhFox, the dev, doesn't mention anything about adding this functionality but I've used it every day (Until I added the WEP and password).
Maybe I'm using the term adhoc incorrectly. This is a Mac, wired to our network via CAT-5 whose wireless card has had internet sharing turned on. This broadcasts a SID and allows wireless clients to share its internet connection - with our without WEP.
Does anyone know if it is possible to get wifi tethering working using an infrastructure system on the arc S? i have a device that i could do with connecting to it, but it doesnt connect to ad-hoc.
which roms other than cyanogenmod support ad-hoc wifi ?
or any way to enable ad-hoc detection on ics 4.0.4 ??
my device is xperia arc s
I really dont know what ad-hoc is
sorry
did you mean wifi direct
ad hoc wifi means sharing your lan internet on your pc through wireless usb adapter like a wifi hotspot or from your laptop
but android phones with stock roms can't detect this connection , nokia and apple devices can
Hi there!
After spending quite some time trying to understand why my rooted 5.1.1 phone can't connect to my ELM327 Wi-Fi module, I realized it's because of the missing support for ad-hoc mode. I'm only able to see the ELM327 network with a third-party Wi-Fi app.
Most of the related threads on Google are more than 4 years old, so I was unable to find a working solution to my issue.
I tried the wpa_supplicant file supplied on androidtablethacks.com which seemed promising but Wi-Fi was not turning on at all anymore so I reverted.
How do I activate ad-hoc mode on my Xperia? I'm dumbfounded that a basic feature like that is not supported.
I'm willing to install another ROM if needed, if it's stable.
I really don't want to buy a bluetooth adapter, I hate bluetooth!
Could I manually add the ad-hoc network somewhere in my phone's configuration files? I know the name and channel of the network.
I don't need a full ad-hoc capability, I just need to connect to this specific network.
Cheers!
