I have a Desire HD, rooted, with cyanogen 7.1 RC installed. And I am very happy for that.
I am planning on buying myself a Parrot Drone, but refuse to get an IPhone to make it work, and thus need Ad-Hoc on my Droid.
I have tried flashing the Adhocv2.zip file, makes my wifi not respond at all. Meaning I can try to log on to wifi's, but they will only disconnect again... Ad-hoc and normal.
I have tried changing out the wpa_supplicant file to the one people have been posting around, but it makes my wifi stronger it seems, but still no ad-hoc.
And then I read something about a guy installing supeaosp 8.2 and it worked flawlessly, but I cant seem to find any place to downloade it. Not for DHD anyways..
SO I ask you, is there something I can do to get ad-hoc enabled, ANY tip will be appretiated...

I have an unsecured network and wifi still isnt working i even tried the builds i used beforeand wifi stil isnt working? I tried Eclair 2.1 froyo still wont work. it scans and says unable to scasn and turns the wifi off by itself. it worked on my other touch pro 2! any ideas?
same ****
got the same problem i had it on the 2.1 builds and on the froyo builds but seems when somebody mention it nobody takes it seriously...just have to wait till the next build...!
You need to update zimage to the latest and as long as WiFi is not WEP encrypted, it should work.
That is really odd. Wifi works perfect for me in froyo with a secured network. Try the new 2.2 froyo build in the first sticky.

Where I live I run wpa2 but there's wep, wpa and unsecured networks available. I get the same problem with the various flavours even after uninstalling, deleting all content and reinstalling.
Bit of a wind up to read that it's a problem with wep.
I would have to say this is one of the worst issues I have found yet with android. Others who have the same phone don't have this issue. but I do. WiFi just doesn't work on my device. I have all the latest releases. Hell, I have been able to use every feature meant for rhodium but WiFi. It is a persistant issue with my device.
I even tried repartitioning my sdcard to see if that helps. but no luck. The last release I was able to use Wifi with was the first release of the sense ui 2.1
When I mention this on IRC, I am pretty much ignored, People think it is because I don't know what I am doing. I beg to differ. I have been able to offer valid advice and solutions for most of the questions i come across.
My device is a T-MO TP2, with a 4gb sdcard. and colored send and end buttons.
Help Please.
Last time I checked Rhobuntu wifi worked ok
I'm having the same issue as well..
It will scan and see my network(secured with WEP) and let me enter my login info but after that it just scans and dosen't connect.
If I have to turn my WEP off I want worry about Android cause theres too many people around here that like to piggy back and I'm not paying for them to use mt internet as well.
I'm using the [MUG] Rhod.2.2.BLAZN.072110 if that helps.
I had another touchpro2 that got lost but wifi worked perfectly! WHEN I TRY TO UPGRADE ROOTFS AND ZIMAGE ANDROID STOPS WORKING!!!It boots goes to the lock screen and vibrates and restarts into windows mobile!

Possible fixes for issue include's deleting your data.img located in your andboot folder of the Sdcard and deleting your cache folder usually located (If I'm not mistaken) on the root of the SDcard.
If the above method does not work then you may want to try a fresh install by deleting all android related files or reformatting your SDCard but I'm sure this will do the trick. I've had that issue before.

You don't really have to. If your Router supports it then switch the encryption type to WPA instead of WEP. WPA encryption has been reported to somehow work with this build.

Edit..changexd the wifi from wep to wpa/psk and all is good.just wanna fix the sound,keyboard backlight and the keyboard buttons.
Other then that I love it.

SO drop from WEP to WPA?? I'll try that and post back..Thanks mna.
I really like Android but I HAVE to have WiFi..Theres really no way around that and since I couldn't get it to work...I kept using WinMo.
Should I delete my SD card and put everything back on??
Unfortuantly you tricks didnt work (all of them ) thanks for the help. DOES ANYBODY ELSE KNOW WHATS GOING ONNNNN! EVOLOPERS PLEASE FIXX It!!!
My wifi-button is grey. It is not possible, to start wifi.
How can i fix this? In an older android-version (with sense) it was running.
Is there an example for wifi in the startup.txt. I can read english only very slow and i did not find it in the 756 sites of the froyo-thread.
okay so with a format of the sd card and the installation of the latest releases of android from the sticky and the newest kernals etc.. no go... has anyone who has had issues found a way to get wifi working on their phone?
I too think the last time my phone worked was months and months ago. I would only really play with android every once and a while so I really dont remember.

Uh... Ok? You HAVE to have wifi. We get it. I've also heard WEP doesn't work, besides it's not even secure... you're not really dropping from WEP to WPA, you're upgrading from WEP to WPA buddy

Wow... Please don't scream at the devs to fix something that already works. It's probably something you're doing...
I would definitely try updating to the newest everything. You say it reboots into WinMo every time - try different combinations of files. I pretty much always run 'bleeding edge' tho, and it's always worked out for me... Perhaps you're not replacing all the files correctly...?
Also... I did see one post from a dev that's going to be discouraging... They said that "some" of the TMobile TP2's just don't work with wifi. I don't think they know why, because if wifi works for the devices devs have, then it's very hard to troubleshoot your problem. It also seems to be effecting a small slice of TMobile TP2's, if that's any consolation. Ditch the teenage wireless company

Not just Tmobile... there's quite a few tilt 2 owners having these issues as well.

Can't enable wifi at all? That's... odd, for sure. Especially since it's not _all_ the TMO TP2's, or _all_ the Tilt2's....

I wonder if it's a radio thing... It's just odd that only some are effected. Has there been any correlation in radio versions or anything like that with phones that aren't working...?
I think my phone is broken. In WM I have after every reboot a new wifi-mac. With wifi on in WM my phone is very slow. I did task 29, tried different ROMs and Radio-ROMs.
Without wifi I have no problems with the phone.

Do you have wifi-mac-address-Problems in Windows Mobile? (maybe with router MAC-Filter)
My phone is a german HTC Touch Pro2. (formerly O2-branded)
for those of you looking for a stable wifi tethering app for your newely rooted mytouch slide, and espically if you are on CM6.1 RC2... this works perfectly, ive been useing it for several days without issue...
just thought id share the tidbit to ya all
code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre14.apk&can=2&q=
I've been using the same since RC2 (I am now on the latest nightly, but still working).
just so everyone knows, i posted this cuz after a few hours of looking and total fustration, the forms here didnt lead me to a good tether app, so i did some leg work of my own, figured id save everyone time, no credit owed to me.... just being a good CM'er
i know this wasn't the case in the past..
but is there a way to run wifi in infastructure mode? or at least fake it so i can connect to kindle3?
running CM6.1 RC2
thanks.
mangle
try barnacle for the kindle but the one he just posted is a good working one.
these wifi apps create basically an ad-hoc connection, i know theres a way to connect to a pc and then create a hotspot useing the wife then basically bridge the connections, i had to go through it when i had an ipod touch..... its a silly long process but idk if thatd help
I use wireless tether 2.0.5-pre15 with no problems on the latest cm6 nightly, but it's an ad-hoc connection. Need an infrastructure connection for the Nook Color, as well.
Damnit... yet again I find myself clueless, and yet again I have tried all the solutions I found out there by myself. BUT since there are people brighter than me, I have desided to yet again sit down and let the grown ups teach me...
I have a Desire HD running 7.1 RC of Cyanogen Mod. And something hit me that made me somewhat annoyed.. there is no support for ad-hoc networks, and I cannot for the love of somethuing unholy device a thought into what made someone desided to make it so...
This is actually the reason why I made the choice to root it in the firts place. BUt after several tries, of various methods, I have no success...
I have tried the method with adhoc.zip and recovery and load from zip thingy.
and the wpa supplicant method. For now I can see thm, and from latest try I could click it, and the phone tried to connect, but quickly just desided to connect to my other wireless network... and yes, even after forgetting the network and trying again, the connection is still not active..
And so I turn to you guys to ask if there are some secret way I could make this happend for me...
I have a kiwi wifi device that was working fine before with my iphone, but now that I have ma t989 it can connect to it since ad-hoc conneciton isn't supported out of the box.
Is there a rom out there that as it enabled ?
if not is there an easy way to activate it ?
thanks in advance
Same question
I was just searching the forums because I have the same problem. I'm running CM9 alpha on an Atrix 4G. No luck, but I'm still trying. I've also tried MIUI and CM7. In MIUI and CM7, I am able to see the PLXDevices SSID, but just get stuck on "Obtaining IP". In CM9, I can't even see the network at all.
I've heard there's some things you can do with wpa_supplicant, but I've seen mixed results in other posts.
Good luck. Wish I could be more help. I've been trying for a few months now...
Hi!
I know google doesn't want to implement this feature into Android, but there are a lot of patched wpa-supplicant around that work on other phones. Is there one for our phone? Has anybody managed to get this working? I looked all over but wasn't able to find a solution for HTC One X.
Thanks!

Well I tested it yesterday on my HOX, and I successfully connected my HOX to the ad-hoc network. The add-hoc network even shows up in the available network list on my HOX.
Edit: I created the add-hoc network on a Macbook Pro running a Windows 8.1 bootcamp.
well, ad-hoc networks, created e.g. with an iphone or some other phone, certainly don't show up in wifi settings, but this is usual android behaviour as far as i know. they show up in wifi manager app, but i can't connect to them, even with static ip, as it's described in some possible solutions like the one you posted before.
well, my sailing trip, where i need such access, because during sailing we use an old windows mobile samsung omnia as a 3g wifi router, is unfortunately slowly coming to an end, and back home i won't be having this problem anymore .
thanks for your help!
