    Android based mobile phone and tablet does not see wifi network

    hi

    i have an older htc touch pro 2 sprint service mobile phone and i have an application on it that makes it work as a wireless router

    i just power phone on and open the app and hit start and the mobile phone is now a wireless router and i use my laptop to access the internet almost every day via this.....it sees it in available netowrk list and i just access since its a secure network i enter the access code and im on...it works decent ....

    however ....i have a non activated android based mobile phone htc evo and an android based tablet pandigital that when i turn on wifi .....it does not see my wirelss router access point via my mobile phone as described above

    why is that???....every laptop i have used sees the phone as a router wifi network fine and even my older iphone 3 sees the phone as a router wifi network

    why are the 2 android devices not seeing the wifi network at all?>...i pick up other wifi networks with the android based devices but for some reason not my mobile phone as a router wifi access point


    please help me.....

      i found this when i googled my issue just now...it does say 802.11 ad hoc in settings on my mobile phone as router....so maybe this is an issue?

      quote from online:

      "Android phones and Android tablets cannot connect to Ad Hoc networks, by default"

          You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

          Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

            Help with trying to fix phone that is not charging (Pics inside)
            by SluggerB
            I have two TCL A30 phones.

            Old Phone: This phone worked fine for years, then stopped charging If you plugged a charger into it, the phone would make the charging sound, the phone would tell you it is charging, but the battery icon would not have the charging symbol in it and the battery would not charge.I tried new battery, same behavior.

            New Phone: Works fine, bought as a donor board to try and repair Old Phone

            My interest here is to repair Old Phone, using components parts off New Phone if needed. I am not interested in replacing Old Phone with New Phone....
