Hi
Is there any way to enable ad-hoc on my nitrohd and stock ics rom for connecting to an ad-hoc access point ?

I wana share my laptop LAN internet connection with my phone and I know can do it via USB or Bluetooth but want to use WiFI !
I didnot have this problem with ios, why android restricted ad-hoc ?

I mean scan ad-hoc network hotspots
Like laptop or portable wifi hotspot in phones . If you try to scan or connect to them, the phone doesnt show them
It just scan for infrastructure access points.(like wifi modems or routers)

I tried searching but doesn't seem anyone has brought this up.
Is there any app that allows wifi hotspot capabilities? I know froyo had wifi barnacle but does gingerbread have something like that?
Wifi tethering is built in you don't need an app. Go to wireless settings and youll find it in there

Reverse Tethering ?
Hi, what about a reverse tethering for internet on the smartphone whit a ethernet-connected-pc ?
I'e been trying to get reverse tether working on the our phones and i've tried a bunch of different apps on the market, and searched around but i cannot seem to get it working.
Has anyone have any luck on getting reverse tether working via or getting the S2 to connect to ad-hoc wifi networks?
take care
edit:
forgot to add that i'm running AOKP jellybean build 1 which i'd like to add is an awesome rom
What the hell is reverse tether?
Either you use your phone as a hotspot or your phone connects to a router.
there are software for the PC to make your PC / Laptop WiFi act as a relay, so you can get internet via your laptop WiFi hot spot

He's talking about having your phone plugged into your computer and getting the internet that your computer is using to function as the internet on your device.
my windows mobile phone did this by default. It's pretty handy when you only have an Ethernet device with no router.

I believe there was an app on the market which allowed this to happen.
But OP have you tried bridging your internet connection to your wireless card on your computer then creating an ad-hoc network and connecting your phone to that? If set up properly it should work. That is if your computer has wireless nic.

thanks for the replies.
I'm on a linux based computer so those windows programs will not work.
I've tried the ad hoc method however, the phone doesn't seem to see the ad hoc.
I've read in few places that android does not support connecting to ad hoc but then i've also read that aokp does support so i'm kinda confused

There is a tweak you have to do to get android to recognize the ad hoc network. I'll try to search for it.

Ok first thing first, before you try portable hotspot was your grand connected already to the internet? If so how were you connected? I ask this because there are some Internet Providers that do not allow wifi tethering. I hope they allow it on yours.

The app posted supports only ad-hoc connections according to the description.
I haven't seen any android versions that supported ad-hoc connections by default. You've always needed to replace wpa_supplicant to make ad-hoc networks visible to android wifi devices. Note that you can broadcast ad-hoc without changes. You just won't see ad-hoc networks without changes.

i really dont get it, what's the point of tether apps like PDAnet+ or Foxfi?
The default built-in tethering functions (wifi hotspot, usb tethering, OR bluetooth) work fine and free. am i missing something here..?
I am guessing they meant they are running the sharing app on another device (since they mentioned tmobile). So the tmo phone is sharing the tmo connection and nexus 7 is using that shared connection to access the net.

O really? is it because tmobile detects the built-in tethering and does not want to allow it? Because i'm with Rogers (canada) and i've been using the built-in bluetooth tethering (JB 4.2.2) of my cellphone data plan to my Wifi tablet (galaxy tab 2) for a long time now and it works all the time.

Use Connectify app for windows

OP connectify doesn't works, I have tried it already. Try android reverse tethering through usb cable.
Type this in cmd with administrative privilege
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=Test key=<yourpassword>
Go to network and sharing center and share internet with wireless connection 2
For starting the hotspot type this code
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
