Hello forum,
I am having two issus but let's deal with one first. I have my xbox360 hooked up to my hotspot, but in order for it to function properly I need to change my NAT settings from moderate to open, or open specific ports. I believe i have the correct ip for my phone, but i cannot connect to it as a router like i do through a pc to a link-sys. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and take care .

Are you using the built-in (2.2) hotspot or WiFi tether?

i'm having the same problem.. i've tried wireless tether for android, and barnacle.. (i'm using a moto droid though.. not evo) i am rooted with a 2.2 themed rom....
HELP!
i am using a Samsung Epic 4g that is rooted and i use wireless tether and it only works on some devices? my friend just tried connecting to my wifi via the wireless tethering but his device (Droid) did not find my wireless address? does this sound like a problem with his device? or is it something on my phone?
Its because android phones don't support ADHOC, so tethering won't work for them.
There may be a hack that i don't know of though.

ok i see. so now the next question is if anyone knows a hack let me know please lol!
I need a hack for this as well, does anyone know of one?
The newest wifi tether app experimental version 3 supports infrastructure mode, this works even with intel chipsets (which have been a chronic problem with wifi tether). I would try that.

Hi guys,
As the title suggest , is there an ad-hoc support for the gn?

any answer????
Openen Hotspot with Connectify
-Nokia E51 connects (with and without encryption)
-Samsung Galaxy Nexus doesn't even show the hotspot.
adding the network manually is not working either

i tired every app and method available with no luck
i think the solution is to add ad-hoc support
I think the default wpa-supplicant doesn't support adhoc. We need to replace it with one that supports. I don't know if someone has made/fixed it yet. Still waiting for it as well.
Ad.Hoc
did you manage to connect through Ad.Hoc? I cannot find Adhoc in my Galaxy Note!! Can we enable AdHoc on Note?
Also need to use adhoc but my Nexus doesn't detect any...
i will try tonight,as i has my laptop at my GF's house.and wont be there until tonight .
but yha. if nobody has posted til than.
than be sure to watch out for my post
Btw,did any one of you guys try wifi direct?
im kinda unsure what it really does.
Did some search in Google and previous NEXUS had the same problem some users were telling to change wpa_supplicant in /system/bin but I think the one they where providing its not compatible with SGN.
As someone already said, I am not even able to see the an adhoc wifi network with my Galaxy Nexus.
My device is rooted but so far I did not find an easy solution to enable adhoc wifi.
However the same adhoc network works perfectly with an EEEpad transformer, so apparently the wifi client is already modified in the Asus tablet.
Has there been any update to this? Been searching this site and others and it doesn't seem like a wpa-supplicant file that can see Ad-hoc networks has been created yet.
I use Connectify - works pefectly.
Supposedly the 4.0.2 update should bring ad-hoc support.
I'm eagerly awaiting the roll-out... (Should have happened ages ago, but somehow it's taking quite a while to propagate everywhere.)
I suppose you could always go ahead and flash your own ROM, but personally I prefer to wait for the official OTA update.
I'm using a 4.0.3 ROM and before that had stock 4.0.2 and no ad hoc support was/is available. There is Wifi Direct which acts like ad hoc but that only works with other Wifi Direct devices.

Oh, Bother!
I was betting on 4.0.2 to solve this, but as you say, it appears that it's only the wifi-direct that frequently gets billed as 'ad-hoc-like' connection.
Is there any other way to enable ad-hoc connections?
Apparently on other devices there exist modified wpa_supplicant files that enable ad-hoc, but so far I haven't seen anything for the GN.

Unfortunately I'm running XP (yeah I know ) here at the office so Connectify won't work - no access point connections on XP.
any possible solution?
Use bluetooth to connect to your computer and share your internet connection with your phone.
I've tried it on windows xp.

I found the application Wifi Ad Hoc Enabler on the market, it require Root and it works grate for me, now i can see and connect to any ad hoc connection.
Hello everyone !
I would like to know one thing, can I monitor data used by wifi hotspot? Well, this option was avaliable on Arc S which was running on ICS and just wonder or is it missing somewhere.
Thank you, regards.
I use many file sharing apps like Sender & Share it. While it uses hotspot tethering for Sharing file, after recent update to 6.0 there is no option for tethering & portable hotspot in setting. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you
i have the same problem. there is no setting for hotspot option.
Yeah. thanks Google ! Maybe on Android 7.0 you can remove wifi and gps aswell and on 8.0, remove Play Store

WiFi hotspot or tethering works on devices which have other ways of connecting to internet aside from WiFi connection so the internet can be shared from that other source (like cellular data access) through WiFi. So technically the availability of the WiFi hitspot or tethering option on the previous vesrsions of Android was meaningless and Google made the right decision to remove it from devices which are incapable of using it in Marshmallow. By the way, I beleive applications you mentioned in your post use being-on-the-same-network and WiFi Direct technologies to share files between devices not WiFi Hotspots or tethering.
Ok but how about usb tethering? That had to be removed also ?

I think Google believes that nowadays every PC or Laptop has WiFi adapter by default so they can use their own WiFi adapter to connect to the internet.
well my laptop's wifi doesnt working and i was using my n7's usb tethering to connect internet and now after the patch it is gone. i just dont understand why. I was even able to share my files with hotspot to everyone around me and i was able to use airdoid or wifi transfer without any internet connection. I will go back to lollipop 5.1.1..
