i have an xperia x10 and iphone 3g both rooted and jailbroken
i have a ethernet "internet" connection at laptop on windows 7
i have made an ad hoc wifi connection on my laptop to use my internet connection with both xperia and iphone.
when i open the wifi of iphone it searches and displays my ad hoc connection . it connects well and does well .
but when i try to connect through my xperia.
1st it showed unable to scan network
which i resolved by rooting.
but now when my xperia scans for open networks...
it displays all other networks in my surrounding areas my neighbours etc...
but does not show the wifi connection of my laptop.
tried to manually add the network
but in vain.
in summary i phone recieves and works on adhoc connection but xperia does not
any advices ?
thanxz in advance
Ok so I'm not really clued up on this so forgive any seemingly stupid comments.
My first thing I have to ask is why do you have to ad-hoc your internet to your phones when you can just use your computer to download stuff then up load them via itunes or stick them on the x10's memory card.
Second thing is...X10 2.1 doesn't cater for tethering or internet connection sharing so you will have to
a) Buy a new phone because SE won't release bootloader sources n codes to allow custom roms to be flashed and make full use of hardware.
b) Use the workaround ROMS by using a ported rom that has been adapted to work on SE x10 firmwares. Plenty of info in the forum as you are well aware.
the 2.2 beta 4 has tethering and I think it works.
As a stock 2.1 firmware, connecting to your PC just allows access to files on your memory card.
P.S When the X10 is SCANNING for networks it is using WIFI. That is why it doesn't pick up your ETHERNET connection.

It is not a wierd problem its just that android is not capable of connecting of detecting ad hoc networks, i think there is a workaround available, you will have to google it.

what are you smoking? Barnacle wifi tethering works on all unlocked versions of x10
Hi,
I have created ad hoc wifi on Windows 7 Ultimate. I have SGS 2 XX KI3 stock ROM. I have updated wpa_compliant on my phone for adhoc.
Now I turn ad hoc wifi on on my laptop and share the connection. I enable wi fi on SGS 2. It is able to detect the adhoc wifi network on laptop but I am not able to browse net on SGS 2. Any pointers?
I have tried setting up static IP but it does not work

hi fellows
i just installed a 4g device in my laptop for internet access. It working fine. Next i made the laptop a hotspot via adhoc connection and after that though internet is fine but i am unable to connect my samsung sii via wifi with it. Even though a friends iphone connected to my lappys hotspot but my phone doesn't and neither does it show that a hotspot/ wifi connections exists.
help
Ad Hoc was designed only for local connections, not Internet.
Use Connectify to make hotspot.

You need to setup a virtual router or if your laptop has a router you can share net via that, originally custom roms does not support ad hoc, but certain roms are modified to enable it.
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
I expect the same from others.
Router has wlan infrastructure mode, not adhoc. It doesn't matter if the ROM supports it or not.
Does anyone know if it's possible to USB tether the Incredible 4G to a PC and turn the phone's wifi into an Ad Hoc wireless adapter? I found this thread that lets you turn the wifi into an Infrastructure adapter (to give the PC a wireless connection to an existing wireless infrastructure), but that's not what I'm looking for. Every other Ad Hoc post I've found so far is about connecting an Android device to an Ad Hoc connection, which isn't what I'm looking for. Essentially need a direct wireless connection where the phone is the gateway and is tethered to the PC.. Has anyone seen this or heard of anyone doing this, or maybe I'm missing something simple? Thanks for any assistance.
Note: I am S-OFF'd and rooted.
Nevermind
