Hi, Dexter and all other fans,
I have installed a WIFI AP application on my 3G phone and I 'm trying to use Folio100 to connect to Internet through that. But I always can not find the WIFI hot-spot on the list. And then I checked Dexter's blog and found this problem has already been fixed in November. I have installed the latest ROM(1.3d) for my Folio and I have no idea why it still doesn't work. Anyone can give any comments?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
the reason must be your phone or the app on the phone. My Folio with FolioMod 1.3d is connecting WLAN very well to the "Android AP", provided from my Dell Streak (Froyo). Even with WPA2-PSK. No Problems at all.
Is the SSID (Broadcast) from your phone-hotspot visible?
regards
The wifi suplicant checker is active? (inside Folio widget menu).

Hi,
Thanks for your info, it was strange that it was not visible from Folio100 but it was visible from my laptop... That 's why I though it is the problem of Folio100.
Any other tricks when setting up WIFI AP from phone? BTW my phone is Nokia N900. The software is called 'Mobile Hotspot'.

it has been reported many times before. it has to do with the encryption of the wifi. avoid wep if u can, and place on either wpa /wpa2 encryption.

Hi, i cant tether between folio and htc tattoo. There is a known "bug" in android, in which you cant see Wifi APs working in AdHoc mode (this is like wifi tether works).
In some new devices, like htc desire, it is fixed because tethering apps works with infrastructure mode, so APs can see in the folio, but... in devices like mine, htc tattoo this doesn't work, so the only one solution its to patch the wpa_supplicant. All this is explained better here: hxxp://szym.net/2010/12/adhoc-wifi-in-android/
The problem is that that patch is for older versions of wpa_supplicant, i have tried with other patches, but doesn't work, some idea???
thanks!
Dexter, could you apply this patch for the next ROM, or make an wpa_supplicant update for current?? thanks
the foliowidget option to use "adhoc" is already enabling the patched adhoc wpa_supplicant, so its in place and has been for a long time, as it was done early on with the image back in november..
but got automated with foliowidget option, where you just restart wifi after selecting adhoc.
cannot use ad-hoc with folio 100 and Dexter 1.3d
Hi!
I've installed Your Mod1.3d as suggested in some article in the internet in my Folio 100.
I've turned on "ad-hoc" in foliowidget, Folio sees the ad-hoc network I create, but then it hangs trying again and again to get an address.
I think it fails with WEP password. If I create an open connection (with WMWifiRouter in HTC Touch HD) it connects fine, but internet navigation does not work!)
My laptop works fine with the same ad-hoc network.
Should I updated to version 1.4? Or what is wrong with it?
Thank you very much in advance!
Stefano B.
you should simply change to WPA or similar, that should for sure help..
i usd it with my galaxy S, and it works fine here in previous releases and nothing changed much on this topic..

Hi! Thank you for your reply!
Unluckily in Connection manager of my HTC Touch HD (with Energy.BLACKSTONE.29017.Sense2.5.ITA.Cookie.2.0.Mar.21 ) I cannot change the encription. Only WEP is available!
Would upgrading to FolioMod1.4 change anything?
Thank you!

Can anyone tell me how to activate ad-hoc wireless on a folio 100 with dexters latest update (1.4)
there appears to be a wp_supplicant.adhoc file in the system/bin directory but i dont know how to use it
I have done this on my galaxy s using a replacement wp_supplicant file but it wont work on the folio.
Hi
mark "active ad-hoc supplicant" or similar (I can´t remember exactly) checkbox in foliowidget. It´s all ;-)
(look for foliowidget in widget´s list, add to desktop and open it, then you´ll be able to open it. It can be opened form widget´s list directly aswell. Don´t forget to give permanent supersuser permissions to foliowidget)
TALUË
the folio finds my adhoc network but
the folio finds my adhoc network but he ask after the ip adres and just stops the network. what can i do about it please.

Hi!
Have you managed to make it work?
I use my HTC Touch HD with WMWifiRouter for creating an ad-hoc wireless network.
My laptop can connect to it fine, and navigate the internet through it, while Folio 100 with Dexter mod 1.3d, connects to it but cannot navigate the internet
Any idea?
Thank You in advance,
Stefano
But this dont run for me, any tutorial to connect to an ad hoc? ?
I used the foliowidget after rooting the phone and it works just fine
i use it to control an ar drone

but without wep or wpa otherwise it wont work for me.

Hi Guys
My new HTC Gratia won't see my Thomson WiFi. I had the same issue with my HTC HD Mini too although at home it WILL see and connect to my Belkin N so I am unsure what the difference is between the two routers or what I could change here?
The Thomson that I cant see is a TWG870U
Best
Mark
Are you using a custom ROM or the original ROM?
Hiya
Android 2.2
Build number is 2.37.405.10
Software is 2.37.405.10
Bseband is 47.54.35.20U_7.13.35.13
I have not changed the phone since i unwrapped it.
Do you have any other wifi capable devices which do find your Thomson router?
Yes
Hiya
Yes my XPS can see the wifi no issues.
Mark.

Maybe its the channel set on the router for broadcasting. You can either change the channel on the router to something like 11 or so, or you could go in the advanced settings in wifi settings on your phone, then change to first option (Regulatory domain) to the channel set on your router. I'm not sure if the option is available on the stock Gratia rom. Good luck!
Tried that and still no joy, most annoying The option you mention is not on my phone by the way.
Hi Guys
I finally figured this out!
Went into router and changed it from 5ghz to 2.5ghz and et voila now my phone can see it
Hope that helps someone

Hi,
I'm posting my question here, since i can't reply on the original thread.
Currently i'm running Elelinux-7.1-Hero-v3.6 (custom) on my HTC Hero.
First off all, great job and thank you so much for keeping the hero alive!!
Tried a lot of different roms and this one leaves the others far behind!
I do however have a small problem with wifi. The device is not "finding" my home network. It does find other networks in the area, and i have been able to log in on a friends network. But it doesnt find this particular one. Other devices (laptops, desktops) are able to connect to it, so i dont think that the issue lies with the network.
Previously i was running elelinux FROYO_2.2.1_Final_Android_Stock (special edition) and did not have this problem.
Is there anyone with the same/a similar problem? Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this?
Dont know if it matters, its an assus N-router.
Thank you
Have you tried to click "Add a wifi network" in the (empty) list of available networks to define SSID and security setting manually?
Thanks for the reply.
Yes i tried that allready, it still tells me it is not in range.
Dont know if it helps the wireless is 2.4 and 5 GHz
Just put Elelinux-7.1-Hero-v3.6 custom v2 on my phone and still have the same problem?
Any guesses?
Check if u can detect other wifi networks wit ur fone if not try a different rom,since u want something as stable as else's try herodeck...
If it does detect other wifi networks,check if ur home wifi is hidden or reset it...

I have the same ROM and I don't have any problems with wi-fi. Maybe there is an issue with the 802.11n compatibility. Are you able to force the AP into b/g mode?
Same Problem
i had the same problem so adjusted router to use B/G mode only and works fine now
maybe your WiFi is on one of the odd japanes channels 52 or so, make sure your choose something between channel1 and 11 in the 2,4Ghz Band
Thank you for all the replies!!
It got fixed!!
Didnt have to change from N to b/g
But tried Taknil's solution and changed channel from auto to somewhere between 1 and 11 in the 2.4 Ghz band (router went up to 13)
Works like a charm!!
Thank you all!
It happened to me to.
I've to give up the mod for now.
Hi All,
I running the stock wm6.5 HD2 rom from t-mobile.
I have just bought a Arnova 10 G2 (cheap from hmv) and would like to use my phone wi-fi hotspot to get online. The problem I have is, the tablet does not recognise WEP encryption.
Can someone tell me the easiest way I can get online using my phone?
I have done several searches and a few people discuss similar issues and talk about writing and adding code. I do not know how to do this as I'm a middle aged fat bloke with no understanding of such things.
I have read a lot about flashing the phone to make it android, would this help or is there a simpler way?
Thanks in advance
CJ
Problem is not your WM6.5 HD2.
Problem is Android has ****e standard connectivity & does not have ad-hoc support as standard.
You will have to find an ad-hoc fix for the Tablet.
WM6.5 conectivity for tethering in both directions is faultless & can be achieved via wifi/BT/USB

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure how to find a ad-hoc fix for the tablet. I've looked for wi-fi apps to find one that will recognise WEP w-fi.
there are a few out there but they find the phone but do not allow connection. as when you try to connect it takes you back to the tablet software.
thanks again for your help.
i have the same problem ... HD2 WM.6.5 and ARCHOS 70 INTERNET
do you found a solution??

The only way I've found is to replace the wpa supplicant file, and it will require root access. I can't seem to attach files from my View. I got the file in the Dell Streak forum - search for wpa_supplicant. The one I have is for gb.
Sent from my HTC View in LALA land.
EDIT: OK, back on my PC, and here is the thread with the file:

Hello, I've got the same tablet and tethering works with my htchd2. Wifi routing does not work, I was not able to create a PAN network with my HTC HD2, and was not able to see a DUN network on my tablet. (or is it the other way round ?)
But tethering, using my 3G connection works. I sometimes need to reboot the tablet.
