Good day nairalanders, please i've got an urgent question to ask regarding android phones and their wifi hotspot! First and foremost, i have been using Nokia phones for a very long time and i think its time to join the moving train #android os! Due to android's durability, elegant and suphisticated apps i have decided to get my self an android phone (samsung galaxy s2 precisely). Now to cut the long story short, my question is: what kind of wifi hotspot does android phones have. To the little i know, there are two types of wlan. Namely: ad-hoc and infrastruction. When i was using Nokia E73, i had an app called joikuspot which lets you share your symbian s60 internet connection with some certain ad-hoc devices like laptops and phones which supports ad-hoc. As some of you may know, some devices doesn't have ad-hoc capabilities and this made them unable to detect my joiku hotspot. Now my question is: what kind of hotspot android phones have? Is it infrastructure or ad-hoc?? Because i want to get an android phone and would like to share my internet connection with my pc and bb. Please fellow nairalanders i need urgent response(s). Thanks in advance. #YoungGame |

JoikuSpot requires Ad Hoc WLAN mode to enable web connection and most of our android (and some other) devices can't connect to ad hoc hotspots. Joikuspot is not a "real" WLAN-Hotspot. Instead it uses the so called "Ad hoc" network to connect WLAN devices. This is due to a restriction in the Symbian OS. The problem is that Android generally does not support this WLAN "Ad Hoc" Network. Some People have hacked their devices (rooted and replaced system files) to enable "Ad Hoc" but such a hack does not exist for all phones. The Galaxy SII can create a infrastructure mode WiFi hotspot. Most Android phones that have 2. 2 or newer have this feature built- in unless it has been disabled. The Access Point is infrastructure mode with WPA2 security, which most devices will connect to. |
