Ad-Hoc
 

Descupem me if I am outside the rules, but I wonder if there is a way to convey my N9 3G to my tablet Xoom 2 ME different from Ad-Hoc networks because it does not connect. No thought or mentoring that explains how to change the model of my tablet with ICS stock ROM.

Say what ? :D

I assume you want to tether your 3g Internet connection via wifi to your tablet?

Re: Ad-Hoc
 

Exact. The problem is that the Motorola Xoom 2 ME blocked to connect to Ad- hoc hotspot . Or do I unlock this function on the tablet (I could not ) or change it in N9 if possible.

Re: Ad-Hoc
 

if you cannot connect to your n9's wifi hotspot the problem probably lies with your tablet

Re: Ad-Hoc
 

Android don't like Ad-Hoc that much...

I have the same problem with my wife's htc one s. N9 is on 3G, created wifi hotspot, laptop sees it and connects, but htc does not even see it. I know in htc lies the problem, but how to make it work? Any ideas anyone?

Re: Ad-Hoc
 

The problem is with the pathetic android os. It is blocked from connecting to ad-hoc networks. The fix/mod/hack is really easy to do. I have done it to couple of devices and all work perfectly after that.

Just search google for instructions on your device. "how to enable ad-hoc in android "add your variant here". Instructions should be basically the same no matter what your variant is. I at least did it with same instructions on different devices.

just a note. You have to have your device rooted and use terminal/file manager to set permissions

Re: Ad-Hoc
 

You can also change the n9 hotspot from ad-hoc to infrastructure, but it might be easier to make the change on the tablet.

Re: Ad-Hoc
 

As far as I know, those hacks only work for pre Android 4.0 devices. I searched a long time for a solution on my Nexus 7 last year.

How to do that on N9? :eek:

Re: Ad-Hoc
 

Hmm, haven't checked how it is with the latest versions, but pre 4.0 is at least not true. I am currently running 4.0.4 and ad-hoc is working.

Of course the latest android seems to be 4.3 for nexus 7, so there might have been changes that I am unaware, but I would doubt it still.

How to change ad-hoc to infrastructure since htc is not rooted and i do not have that option at the moment

Re: Ad-Hoc
 

Would be very interested in the details of this change?

Re: Ad-Hoc
 

looks like that atleast nexus 4 has adhoc suported in 4.3, havent tried on nexus 7 yet.

Re: Ad-Hoc
 

There is also a hack to enable ad hoc on nexus 7 4.2.2

Re: Ad-Hoc
 

4.3 on the new Nexus 7 does not appear to pick up any ad-hoc networks out of the box.

Considering how quickly my N9's battery wipes when using wi-fi tether, I'm finding bluetooth tethering via BlueVPN in the play store to be a decent solution for now.

The main issues are that Google's applications aren't expecting an internet connection via bluetooth so you can't download applications from the play store or use some of their other apps; so for that reason I'm going to try to root and enable ad-hoc when I get a replacement device this coming week. But you can at least have some kind of tethering functionality through bluetooth in the meantime.

Re: Ad-Hoc
 

I just tested Nexus 7 4.3 with CM10.2 and I'm happy to report that it supports Ad-Hoc networks just fine.

I put N9 in hotspot mode, and I was able to connect to that adhoc from Nexus7 just fine.

CM10.2 is avail in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2029151

Re: Ad-Hoc
 

Yes, CM roms at least 10.1 and 10.2 have ad-hoc patch. I can connect my HP Touchpad running CM 10.1 nightlies to my N9.

But I would still be interested in making N9 wifi hotspot in infrastructure mode if possible.

Edit: I don't think stock AOSP 4.2.2 and 4.3 have ad-hoc support

Re: Ad-Hoc
 

Nobody has released N9 infrastructure howto yet. I've compiled custom kernel with custom host-ap which in theory allows infrastructure mode, but I havent had time to test it as I'm quite busy with work.

So currently your best bet is to use CM roms.

Solved my own problem. Turned the wifi hotspot on android, and connected my N9 to it. Works great, but i would still like to do it the other way around. Why would android phone do it and N9 not?

Re: Ad-Hoc
 

Its atually of the question "Why android can only connect to infastrure mode and N9 can connect to both adhoc and infrastructure?"

As N9 supports connecting to both modes, then N9->Android hotsport works and other way around doesnt work by default (It only works if you install CM10.[12] custom rom to your Android, and after that your Android can also connect to both adhoc and infrastructure AP's.

Some day even AOSP https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/43070/ might get support adhoc mode by default, but those changes have not landed in yet.

Re: Ad-Hoc
 

What kernel options did you change for this? I'd like to try it on my custom kernel as well.
