If you are using Android smart-phones then you are also aware that android phones doesn’t support the Ad-hoc wireless networks. Sometime it became very annoying, recently I shared an apps Wi-fi Ad-hoc enabler on Hack Illusion, then i received an email from one of my valuable reader, he ask me to connect ad-hoc signal to his newly purchased Galaxy Note,(I also brought few days ago and did all settings on very first day), his situation is funny also, So I am sharing that email here because almost every new buyers also faced the same situation.
” Hello Sir,
Yesterday i purchased samsung galaxy note(n7000), and i am very happy to buy this phone. So in my home i created hotspot on my laptop and shared internet through my main internet connection(actually my friends told me about this hotspot function, he already used internet on his iPhone through ad-hoc). everything is fine here, after this i scan wifi signal on my phone and my phone don’t catch any wifi signal, I try all things but it is not work. I am thinking that my phone wifi is not working, and i go to the shop from where i buy it, and make a complaint on this, so one person are checking my phone and he said me your wifi is working and show me proof, I ask him the solution, then they only tell me that for this you have to root your phone and then enable the ad-hoc. So then I root my device from my friends(but he is only know rooting process) and then i do a lot of googling and find your this link for enable wifi adhoc, http://www.hackillusion.com/wifi-ad-hoc-enabler-for-android-devices/ , but this apps is not working on my galaxy note. Will you tell me any other application name which works on my phone.”
