[Q] Problems tethering between folio and other android device

---

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!

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.Ma r.21 ) I cannot change the encription. Only WEP is available!
Would upgrading to FolioMod1.4 change anything?
Thank you!
