[Asus Transformer TF700] DavidHart:
The higher powered battery banks are also an option.

The ATC do support 12v, but they would have to be researched to find out what is needed to connect the TF700 to them. In addition, the ATC have yet to be reviewed on Amazon, so you would be taking a chance on the quality of the power pack. Of course, Amazon stands behind their customers so if it didn't work out you could always return it. I usually find it easier to let someone else beta test...

The ebay link is to a power pack that doesn't support 12v, so that would not work.

It works absolutely fine with Nova. Either take out the SPen or long-press the back button and the 'tab' appears on the left hand side. It's use in Nova is identical to its use in Touchwiz. I can only assume other launchers are the same, but I only use Nova.

Android text editing blues

I wish I could recommend an Android Text editor, but they're all horrible... clunky, inert. They all require pudgy finger commanded by tired eyes moving tiny highlighting handles over words . The best and worst of the Android text editors and word processors are geared for whatsapps, tweets, haikus.

Just by way of example consider what it takes to cancel a single word on Jota:

4 (four!) finger interventions.

For all endeavors except text editing, people got a real treat with tablets... Games galore, spectacular browsing, film viewing, still pictures and motion photography, messaging and socials and GPS navigation and on and on...

The scribes instead were slung back to the Dark Ages. The DEL key was banished. Arrow keys - pffft - disappeared. Everything became clunky. So clunky that a whole new industry was born: external keyboards to allow your mobile device to play pretend it's a computer. A cop-out.

For everybody else stuff famously indistinguishable from magic, for us instead punishment. Little handles to move around...

The editing situation is so clunky, awkward, demanding of concentration, that even I, a non programmer can - at least conceptually - run circles around any Android editing program for speed, ease, precision!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dany7915:
I know there is CWR for SGS3 but I don't know how to port or build.

as far as I know, samsung phone's recovery.img is different from the other companies' by using initramfs.

I found this post : '[Guide] How To Properly Build Clockworkmod Recovery Into Samsung/initramfs Devices' at rootzwiki

but still don't know how to port. :(

anyone knows?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJW:
not sure if it is what you are looking for, but from the CWM pro's themselves:

Porting ClockworkMod Recovery to new devices is even easier than before:

1) Dump a stock recovery image.

2) Upload it to http://builder.clockworkmod.com/

3) Make some coffee/tea.

4) Download it!

The new Recovery Builder will automatically port and build new and existing recovery images.

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Quick note:

For those who are not able to solve the issue mentioned in troubleshoot 2 in guide above here is an checkup. With admin rights in command prompt type as below:

netsh wlan show drivers

After you press enter you will get a list of line items. There check for "Hosted network support: Yes"

If it is mentioned as "No" then you need to update your wifi adapter drivers.
[Galaxy S II General] oliaros:
nice try, works fine! But: I would prefer a solution that can connect directly over wifi, means ice cream sandwich can see and log on to adhoc networks. Anyway: thanx for this, oliaros
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Well but the thing is virtual wifi adapter is much for efficient and secured than ad hoc network. Even if you want to set up the ad hoc it will take the same amount of procedure. Just that you will be using the GUI and not the command prompt. But do note that windows 8 has no ad hoc feature ;)

Only draw back of the this method is that you need wifi adapter supporting virtual wifi and you should be on Windows 7/8.
[Galaxy S II General] idoleng:
nice tutorial!

but on my dell latitude laptop, (I am using vista) I cannot find "hostednetwork" under netsh>wlan>set.

I can only see the following under set:

autoconfig

blockednetworks

createalluserprofile

profileorder

profileparameter

tracing
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Virtual WiFi adapter is Windows 7/8 feature only. Upgrade the OS :) Vista is buggy actually.
[Galaxy S II General] idoleng:
adhoc

:crying:

reminds me of one software I was trying before(when trying to activate adhoc also) I think it was connectify but not sure. it can only be used also in windows 7 only.

thanks anyway. I hope android includes this on their future updates.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Yup its connectify. It works in Vista but in Vista is ad hoc only. Even that software requires windows 7 or above for Virtual WiFi.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
In that case hope someone comes with a patch just like they did for GB.
[Galaxy S II General] neeraj.juneja:
All thanks to Harsha Raj

Initially there was some issue with 3rd step, but updating the wifi driver via device manager proved to be useful..

Thanks a lot again buddy.

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Thank you. Yet to try it out.

Well yes. The virtual wifi which you create is just like any router. So anything that has a wifi receiver can connect to it :thumbup:
[Galaxy S II General] aarrun:
yesterday i ws figuring out how to make an automatic or kinda one click on off for the wifi hotspot coz typing the command each time is hectic. so i made 2 .bat(batch) files with command for starting wifi ap and other for stopping. but just now i saw theres a person who has made an app for it....thanx to him and u ...coz its really helpfull.
[Galaxy S II General] peekeesh:
i was able to create the virtual AP using the steps provided by the OP. However, my phone will pass authentication, will show obtaining IP address and then it won't connect. Then the status will show as Saved, Secured. It will reconnect and then a message will appear the says "Attention! network disabled. Poor connection."

anyone has any ideas how to fix this?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Well looks like the device is having problem in taking the IP address. You sure have shared the internet from LAN properties?

1. Make sure that virtual wifi adapter created has an IP address. System automatically sets it to 192.168.137.1.

2. You can try is try setting the IP address manually in your S2 to 192.168.137.xxx, anything except 192.168. 137.1 and xxx can't be greater than 225.

Now this would skip the" obtaining IP address" when connecting.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Thank you. I will to try it out once and add it to OP.
[Galaxy S II General] peekeesh:
I tried setting static IP but still it didn't work. But i managed to get it to work by uninstalling Dell Wireless Lan utility and re-installing the wifi driver. I'm thinking Dell utility is not compatible with it and it's causing it to not work properly. Anyway, it's all good now so thank you!

To all those who use Dell laptops with Dell Wireless 1540 wifi card and can't get virtual AP to work, you can try doing what I did.

First and foremost: Thanks for your guide!

I followed your steps and it seemed to work fine, I connected my phone and such, then i tried using one of my apps that require an internet connection. The app claimed that the there was no internet connection available although the "Network Connections" menu clearly stated that the wifi was both active and shared with the lan connection. i tried to refresh the app few times then !BOOM! BSOD!!

What do you suggest I do?

Nice tutorials :good:

After im following step by step all success..

My android can connect to hotspot.. :victory:

But after a several minutes around 10 minutes the connection was disconnect.. :crying: :crying:

On my android can see -->> obtaining ip adress, then disconnect, obtaining ip adress, then disconnect, obtaining ip adress, then disconnect.

I have used 3 android phone and the problem still same..

Sorry for my bad english.. Thanks..
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Looks like problem with laptop wifi. Try to see if there is any update to the drivers and update them.

You can also try to manually set the IP address in your phone to 192.168.137.xxx where xxx is any value greater than 1 and lesser than 225.

Another alternative is to try to enable and disable the wifi adapter in your PC. Instructions you can find it in Troubleshooting section - 2 - b - in my guide.

Troubleshooting

I'm a noob.

I have this hosted network set up and internet sharing is working. I have an droid running 2.3 and an ipod touch that connect and access the internet no problem. However my new Droid Razr Hd running 4.1 it will connect and download then it disconnects in less than a minute. The only way I can get the Razr Hd to connect in the first place is to stop and restart the network as well as the WiFi on the phone. Do you have any possible suggestions about my phone since the other devices don't have any problems?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I set up a wifi hotspot on my vaio laptop by this guide and used it on del laptop and galaxy N2 for few days. but suddenly both of them couldn't obtain ip address and not working. I tried to set ip manually and could connect to wifi hot spot but cant receive any data from it. my devices can connect to hotspot by static ip but no internet available. Received Packets is always zero in connection status.

can anybody help please.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Happened to one of my friend. Here is exactly what i did:

1. Go to device manager and uninstall the virtual wifi adapter

2. Now disable and enable the wifi adapter under device manager.

3. Go to network connections (ncpa.cpl) and see the properties of the actual adapter from where you are having the network access.

4. There under sharing tab, untick the shares and click okay for all. (reverse of what you did in step 4 of OP)

5. Now create the virtual wifi again with step 1 to 3 from OP.

6. Now share the internet from the adapter as in step 4 of OP. Also check the settings under share tab and make sure that HTTPS and HTTP is ticked. Now this will give you Internet access in your phone and no need of setting the IP manually anymore.

[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
What is the IP address assigned to the virtual wifi in your system?

If it is other than 192.168.1.137 then it might the case where the Internet has not been shared properly to the virtual wifi. I suggest you to remove the virtual wifi adapter and start again from scratch.

Instant messanger don't work

Hi,

I've successfully followed your guide and now I have got the internet working on my Galaxy S2. I have windows 7 ultimate on my laptop and internet access is through an ethernet connection.

My problem is that instant messanger software like Viber, Gtalk don't work. Twitter doesn't work either. However facebook app is working fine and so is Play store. I can also successfully browse via Chrome.

Do you have any idea why some apps are not working? If I use a vpn software on my phone like Hotspot Sheild VPN then everything works fine.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
You sure you can use gtalk and twitter on laptop without using any VPN?
[Galaxy S II General] usama.moin:
Yea I can use them just fine on my laptop without any VPN. But they don't work on my Galaxy S2 without VPN.

Things that work: Facebook, Play Store, Forsquare ..

Things that don't work: Viber, Gtalk , Twitter
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
This too had happened to me once. The problem was in gtalk. Works fine in laptop but doesn't when on virtual wifi in mobile.

Can you download this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twistandroid.portscan

Then put the parameters as in the screen shot and share your results here?

This is to test if the ports required for gtalk are open. I haven't fixed this when I had the issue. So I'm testing here.

Edit: do the our scanning thing when connected to the Virtual WiFi with and without VPN.
[Galaxy S II General] usama.moin:
port 80 and 443 are open, the first two are not. See the screenshot. Any idea how can I open these on the virtual wifi?
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Well you need to open the port that starts from 5XXX in the screen shot in your Laptop. Before that you can check once if the port is really closed on laptop.

1. First enable telnet

Start

Control Panel

Programs And Features

Turn Windows features on or off

Check Telnet Client

Hit OK

2. Then open cmd with administration rights. There type this and press enter: telnet www.google.com 5228

3. Do same for 5223 and 5222.

The reason laptop does not require 5XXX port is that it can connect with basic ports, but gtalk in Android uses only 5XXX port.

Well you can use this guide to open port in windows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-a-port-in-Windows-Firewall

[Galaxy S II General] lolyzor:
this also works with two wireless adapters, so I have one wireless connection that I use for my laptop's internet, a have another usb wireless device, this technique works the same way, except that you have to disable your internet wireless device, and follow the tutorial, after you finish step 3, then enable your internet wireless adapter and do right click on it and share it to your microsoft virtual wi fi miniport, also you have to to click settings when sharing and add HTTP and HTTPS because they are not selected by default.

The reason for disabling the wireless adapter that you go through to the internet is to force windows to create this virtual network on the second wireless device, and then enable it again after you set up the virtual adapter, share the connection, tick HTTP and HTTPS and it works !
