I have two phones - HTC Touch Pro 2 with native Sprint service and grandfathered plan of 450 anytime and unlimited internet and the other is a Samsung Galaxy Note II using MVNO (Ringplus) service with unlimited talk and text but only 400 MB data. I have an app on HTC Touch Pro 2 called xda-wifi-sharing which when enabled uses Sprint's 3G network and forms a peer network with WEP protection key and I use it sometimes to connect my laptop for internet browsing with an OK connection speed. My laptop can recognize the peer network and easily connect to it thereby satisfying my need of wireless internet connectivity. So for saving on the data on my Samsung Galaxy Note II's data usage, I tried to connect it to the xda-wifi peer network created by the HTC Touch Pro II but that particular SSID does not even appear in my Samsung G N II's wifi networks. I'm running CWM M9 build on a rooted Samsung G N II with CWM 6.4.0.3 recovery. Can somebody please suggest if
1. The AOSP ROMs can idenity and/or connect to peer networks ?
2. If yes to question1, then what procedure should I follow to connect to such peer networks ?
Basically, I'm looking forward to using my native Sprint service through HTC Touch Pro 2 with the XDA-Wifi-Sharing app that creates a peer Wifi network, that my Samsung Galaxy Note II can connect to and use for internet browsing rather than using the limited 400 MB bandwidth allocated throught the MVNO i.e RingPlus.
Is your Samsung able to recognize other Wi-Fi networks?

Yes Harsha.. I can successfully connect to other "infrastructure" mode networks on my Samsung GN II without any issues. I can also connect to Sprint's own 4G LTE (provided thru. MVNO Ringplus) without any issues. Its only this peer-peer network that is initiated by the XDA-Wifi-Sharing app residing on my HTC TP 2 that I cannot connect to. Forget about connecting, the Samsung GN II can not even see that network's SSID.
Did you try adding your peer networks SSID manually?
:good:

Yes.. I did.. but no luck. The network is transmitting the SSID and my computer can detect it but my Samsung GN II cannot. So that means the phone just can't detect any peer adhoc networks. Was wondering if there was some other way to do this.

I am overseas and I am unable to use my Touch Pro 2 with T-mobile because I am under a plan that does not offer international calling. I noticed when I plugged my phone to a home computer with internet access, the phone uses it to log on to the internet if need be. My question is, how can I turn that connection into a wireless modem (using wmwifirouter) to allow my laptop to have internet access?
Hey I want to create an adhoc connection to allow my S3 to use wifi connection from my laptop?
I tried creating one but the S3 wouldn't find it on WPA and no security.
This is because my S3 has very slow speed and low connection to my routher which is two floors below me. My laptop and iPad and stuff can connect fine but not the S3. I tried the *#0011# trick but to no avail. If I try a factory reset how do I backup everything?
But how can I have my S3 connect to my Laptop for Internet, is this possible?
yea the s3 cannot see the ad hoc network its not in our wifi profile.
Last time i checked, i don't recall typical WiFi chips being able to function as a WiFi access point... could be wrong, though.
There are some apps that claim to enable ad-hoc networks on certain phones. Not sure if they are compatible with our phones our not.
If you're using windows 7, you can try connectify. It'll create a real wifi ap instead of just ad-hoc, also simultaneously allowing the computer to connect to your router's wifi.
Use Connectify
yo can use connectify and make your wirless adapter to an access point then this application could share your internet connection via this virtual access point

I am also have the same problem like you
Anyone know how I can attach a Galaxy S4 mini to a Draytek 2820n router?
I'll give a bit of background that might explain why I'm trying to do what I'm doing.
I'm a heavy internet user. I need to download medical image files that are 300MB at a time on a frequent basis, as well as wanting to do usual downloading from iPlayer, Sky etc, plus app updates and all the usual keeping computers up to date. I live somewhere that I cannot get a decent ADSL connection (download speed is about 256Kb/s) never mind fibre. However, do have a good 3G (HSDPA) connection with three.co.uk. Have a Draytek 2820n router so I can use a 3G dongle via the router's USB so in essence the whole house has a fairly rapid internet connection. Only problem is that three's mobile broadband plans limit you to 15GB cap per month.
I've got a Galaxy S4 mini on monthly contract which gives unlimited (All You Can Eat) data and allows tethering.
I've been able to successfully connect wifi devices to the S4 via wifi tethering and use the internet but it's a pain having to switch wifi connections if say I want to control an XBMC server on my LAN, for instance. What would be ideal is to have the router distribute the S4's internet around. I can't just put the SIM in a mobile dongle as three have a way of blocking that (something to do with IMEI recognition) and I don't want to risk trying it.
Anyone got any ideas how I might be able to go about this. The Draytek router has various settings you can put into the 3G setup - I've attached a screenshot. I've tried various things but nothing works and I'm not sure how to access the router's debugging output. I set the S4 with USB debugging on in the developer settings. Wondering if there is something I can do that is fairly straightforward on the S4 so that I can try some generic dial string settings on the router to see if that works. I'd read something about putting the S4 into USB Kies mode but I don't seem to have that option.
My other thought was I might be able to leave the S4 in wifi tethering mode and somehow bridge this with my router but that would probably screw up my LAN DHCP assignments as I'd have to switch the router DHCP off and then I would be limited to 10 connections.
Sorry it's a bit long and complex. Any thoughts anyone?
I have Galaxy S5 with GPRS internet connection and Galaxy Tab S (non LTE version)
I know to use a Mobile Hotspot and it works perfectly.
My question is, when I connect S5 and Tab S via WiFi direct- the GPRS internet of the phone is not shared to Tab S.
If I try to make a Hotspot during WiFi direct connection- the WiFi direct gets disconnected.
You don't use wifi direct to share internet.
Just make hotspot with your S5, then connect your Tab S via wifi, NOT wifi direct.
I know, but I am looking for solution,
For example, when I am on places where there is no WiFi connection, but I established WiFi direct between Tablet S and S5 and I am working on the Tablet (also answering sms or phone calls from the tablet)- I want to use GPRS internet of the phone.
Sounds logical that this option should be...
May be there is some other way to do it?
Nope. You can't use Sidesync without a proper external wifi connection.
I am using D-Link 2750U ADSL router, the issue I am facing is quite weird. My Phone, Laptop, Nexus 7 Tab can see Wi-Fi Network in range but Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (10.1) cannot see Wi-Fi network. I tried connecting it manually by providing SSID, it says Network not in range. Interestingly, Samsung tab connects to Wi-Fi network in my office without any issues. So I am clueless as to where the problem is – is it with Router or Tab? Can someone help please

crash your router, try again
access your router, check your settings,history
try unsecuring your wifi, seemif it picks up, then resecure
tab does 80211 abgn, check you're setmfor wpa2-passkey
in your tab if always scan is enabled, toggle it
check system/etc/wifi/nvram* - if present
it's most likely the router and the tab.
Issue resolved (hopefully) by setting channel to fixed number rather than using auto option in router wifi settings.
Interesting aspect is my phone, which is also samsung (s4) and laptop had no issues.
@heeemz
channel!, Uhhh, weird,
My best guess is that you have a router with Full open channels like for Europe or Japan and that the TAB3 is an American version. So as American Wifi is not allowed to transmit on EU/Japan extended frequencies?
