Android does not see ad-hoc networks by default, but it can be configured that way.

I did it with this guide: hxxp://modmymobile.com/forums/491-jailbreak-root-access/544146-connect-g1-ad-hoc-network-solved.html (replace xx with tt) wich is similar as the above mentioned.

I had some problems with the wpa_supplicant.conf file, but this is how it looks now:

ctrl_interface=tiwlan0
update_config=1

network={
ssid="MarcsAndroid"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=1
}

network={
ssid="Marcsnet"
scan_ssid=1
psk="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
group=CCMP TKIP
priority=1
}

I'm using wifi thethering on my Desire and have configured my old G1 so that is sees the Desire, can connect to it, and share its internet. But most importantly, I use the app WiFi-keyboard, so I can use my G1 qwerty on my Desire :)

Hmm, glad I didn't buy the Evo :) Now I can get this or whatever's better once my contract runs up.
[Epic 4G General] schizopunk:
I took back my EVO for the Epic. The EVO sucked in my opinion. The build quality is kinda horrid, I went through 3 EVOs all which broke on me. I was very disappointed with HTC this time around.

[Epic 4G General] rulyskull:

[Epic 4G General] schizopunk:
The EVOs hardware is horrible on their first builds. The first one the USB port broke, second one the bottom lights didnt light up right and the third one the USB port broke again, it got to the point where it literally couldnt charge it anymore. I've had enough with that ****ty phone.
[Epic 4G General] tatonka_hero:
I know better than to get a samsung phone after seeing what they did with the moment
[Epic 4G General] bohiti:
Ugh I'm in a tough spot. Went wakeboarding with my hero in my pocket this morning, and I'll let it sit in rice for a few days but I'm not holding out hope. I do have a line in our plan up for upgrade.

Do I:

Use it on another hero, which will root and probably run Froyo happily for another 10 months

Get an Evo which is nice but frickin' huge. Suck up the $10 sucker fee and deny the phones on the horizon

Get a cheap flip phone off Craigslist and hold out for an Epic.

Do I even want a hardware keyboard? Even if I didn't use it this phone looks awesome. Samsung support scares me though. Perusing the Moment developer scene doesn't give me much hope of getting AOSP builds going.
[Epic 4G General] tatonka_hero:
Not to mention the Epic is very likely going to have that $10 fee as well
[Epic 4G General] bohiti:
Yeah, no doubt.

I guess I've decided to use my old Q9C (UGH!) for the month or so until the Epic is rumored to come out. I'll pick it up and try it out, and use the 30 day return to hop back to Evo if I don't like it.
[Epic 4G General] markus_del_marko:
Huh? i thought i read this wasn't coming out till late fall? I like the design of the phone & the specs but the touch wiz interface sucks.
[Epic 4G General] flam253:
not worth it to waste an upgrade on a hero. go grab a old palm or blackberry and use it if u want the epic. or just suck it up and get the hero
[Epic 4G General] Jwahlg:
Or if you wanted to pick up phones at radioshack you could just return each phone before the 30 days were up until it got released,

I did a whole tour exploring different phones and platforms waiting for the evo when I headed back to sprint, each time you return a phone it resets your 30 day period
[Epic 4G General] flam253:
there was no history of your returns in the system? i don't want to get dirty looks lol
[Epic 4G General] sdotcarlisle:
no you get to try a device for 30 days if you dont like you can try another device for 30 days. sweet huh.
[Epic 4G General] markus_del_marko:
all i know is touchwiz looks like crap and so does the taskbar theme. i may just try to pick up a cheap evo.
[Epic 4G General] mrinehart93:
I'll keep my hero until it sucks complete ass and dies. Then hopefully the Epic will be out and have a good dev scene going, which at that time I will upgrade.
[Epic 4G General] Triptic:
I'm excited to see what happens with this phone. With any amount of developer support I will be sold, mostly due to its awesome physical keyboard (even with Swype, touch based typing pisses me off from time to time). And I don't see why there wouldn't be support, I mean it's launching on every carrier.
[Epic 4G General] xXSecretAgentXx:
People are really not as excited about this as they were with the evo. Come on ppl, this phone is AWESOME!
[Epic 4G General] willthebill:
does anyone know the onboard memory that the epic will pack? 8GB, 16GB or none
[Epic 4G General] Sebrina:
Memory is the same as on an Evo, 1gb. The amount of memory on the phone was chosen by the carrier all the variants have different memory specs, but the phone does include a 16gb card in the box as opposed to the 8gb in the Evo.
[Epic 4G General] Aridon:
Keep in mind when comparing memory that the nand portion (fast, where apps need to go) is going too be similar among all the carriers. A lot of the lag issues are from the over seas version not properly using the fast storage. This shouldn't ber an issue in the sprint one. Just buy a class 6 16 gb or better if you want to use apps2sd.

[Epic 4G General] k2snowboards88:
Those radioshack employees often are counting on commission to make ends meet. Cell phone activations take ~20-60 minutes and while the employee is helping you, they are missing out on commission from other sales. Its alright though because they make commission on the phone. If you keep returning your phones and have no intention of keeping your phone, then you are really screwing them over and they wasting their time and possibly losing all of their commission for the week. At best, that's very dishonest.
[Epic 4G General] oldpreowner:
I haven't bought a phone from Radio Shack but I can't remember a time that I have went into one where there was more than one customer in the store. I did take a a palm accessory back once and she glued the piece back on and put it back into the box to sell as new. Now that's shady and dishonest.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] das7771:
Is there anyway some one can get the new sprint cup mobile .apk from the Evo to try and use for our incredibles.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] 0mie:
The only apk from the EVO that works in Sprint Navigation, I have all NFL, TV, and Nascar and it has to verify you're a Sprint customer or it won't let you use it. I will post the apk in a few and maybe someone can hack them to work ;)

Hi - sorry if this has been answered or is in the wrong place. I have an XDA Mini S which is unlocked. I am trying to connect to the Internet via my BT home hub. The XDA visualises the home hub and says it is connecting but after several minutes it says not connected then tries again. Have changed the power setting so that the wifi has the best power setting but it still will not connect. Any ideas please - am not great technical wise but am far from stupid so should be able to try most things. Thanks from a hopeful newbie!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Jerry-S:
What security is on the HomeHub? I'm not 100% certain but maybe the phone won't do WPA encryption.

Also, if the HomeHub is set to 'G' only mode, you may need the hack for the Mini-s to get it to run in the same mode.

Have a look at this thread.

Post 3 has the link and tells you what to do. It does work as I can confirm.

[EVO 4G General] leefur5:
So the FPS cap sucks, and the lag is frustrating, but I’m confident that these will be resolved as some point and I still love my launch day 002 EVO. Never had any of the physical issues that most other people had, with no screen separation or light leaks, and the last update seemed to fix the grounding issue (which was very rare and minor on my phone). The screen and size are just right for me. I’ve been waiting for this phone ever since I heard that HTC was working on a monster snapdragon phone at the end of last year. But I’ll still be trading it in for the Epic 4G. Why? DLNA.

I’ve been using an AT&T Tilt since it launched some 4 years ago (which is what I've been using until I got the EVO). It was great at the time, and has served me very well, what with loading custom ROMs and all. Even got Android working on it for a while (which was fun, but not very practical). One of the things I was able to do on the Tilt was the ability to map my shared home network media folders (which I use to stream media to my xbox360s) as a drive on the phone so that when I was connected to my home network over wifi on the phone, I could use coreplayer to stream all of my AVI files from my home network to my phone and watch them with virtually no stutter anywhere in the house.

I’ve yet to see any apps for android that will let me do that. Either you’re able to access the home networked files (with something like andromote), but it doesn’t play AVI files, or a decent AVI player is found (lovin’ Rockplayer), but will only play local files.

With the Epic 4G (and all of the Galaxy S variants, I think), not only can this be done, but it’s super simple through their Allshare app. And it plays AVI video files natively.

People say that you shouldn't choose a new phone based on possible future capabilities for your model of phone, that you're not even sure it will be getting - either through a hack, root, or an official update. The Epic is here, now (or will be soon), with my own personal killer app. So there you go. Why I’ll be switching to the Epic 4G on launch day.

It’s sort of win/win though – I’ll be giving the wife the EVO, and getting the Epic 4G for myself, so it will still stay in the family ;-)

[EVO 4G General] leefur5:
Wow - Just think of all of the productive things you could have done instead...

Why, there are plenty of things you can do right in your own community. You can visit a dairy, and find out how milk is handled and prepared for delivery. Or plan a series of window displays on home safety. You can start a library. You can discuss with your dentist what you can do to make your teeth more attractive...
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:

I actually did look at gmote, but their streaming plans seem to be limited to music files only.

[EVO 4G General] leefur5:
Tried orb - didn't care for the choppiness. With DLNA, we're talking same quality as loading the video onto the phone itself.

I stream videos just fine on my EVO and dont pay anyone anything:

Now this is something I find fascinating, but in all honesty, this seems to be a much more complicated solution, and I would be willing to try it, if the solution on the Epic wasn't so elegant.

Question though - I have all of my media meticulously organized into various folders for movie genre and TV shows/seasons, which makes browsing to the right video file easy. How does browsing for the correct video file form the phone work on your end?

Samsung sucks
[EVO 4G General] shep211:
lol sure thats why they have released source code with drivers for the galaxy s before the phone was released. Thats why there cpu thats 1 ghz almost runs 2x faster then snapdragon. Thats why there code runs 20% faster then other android phone. Thats why they get 90 million triangles per sec and evo gets get 12. Thats why they have avi support and the best screen on any android phone because they suck right?

Anyway I am getting one as well and I would give my evo to the wife but she does not want it. She likes her N1 way better. I will never buy a crap htc phone again. I am so glad that Samsung has released the source code and are allowing us to mod the phone. I think they have learned from there past mistakes.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
I never knew this turned into a bad mouth HTC thread. Go ahead and get your samsung, but don't come crying to us when something goes wrong, or you want features that you can get on the evo and not your phone.
[EVO 4G General] shep211:
I am sure I wont miss the features that htc has and Samsung doesn't. Like lifting screens, dust under screens, poor manufacturing, light leakage, 30 fps cap, poor graphics driver and no internal storage so all video is compressed to sd card and looks like ****. I can go on and on but whats the point. I can understand why we have put up with htc. Its easy to hack there phones. We dont have to use there ****ty phones anymore. Samsung realizes to sell a lot of phones they need to be more open source. There is already a rom and kitchen for the galaxy s.

[EVO 4G General] leefur5:
Was looking at that too, but I'm not thrilled about the flash interface. I also already run playon, and tversity used to conflict with it.

Theoretically, I should be able to stream playon to the epic also, since it also acts as a dlna server, so that means I'll be able to get hulu, comedy central, netflix, etc (in addition to all of my non-avi videos, like mkv, since playon transcodes on the fly) streamed to the phone also, possibly even in hd - although I'm not sure about that. Would certainly be cool though.
