Motorola Milestone :: Enabling WiFi AdHoc Network Connection On Handset?
Sep 17, 2010
Just picked up an unlocked Milestone and I popped in my prepaid T-Mobile card and I have my home WiFi network bur for data on the go I need to use the 3G connection of my iPad via WiFi. Problem is that the WiFi network it creates is an AdHoc one and as I found Android can't connect to AdHoc networks by default. Standard on WinMp and iOS so what possessed them to do that?
After some digging around I found a guide to enable AdHoc on rooted Androphones How to connect an android phone to your ad-hoc wi-fi network | Wissam Idrissi so I spent a few hours rooting and installing the proper apps. No go though, my AdHoc network does appear in the list with MySSD : "Not in range, remembered" but it never connects. Has anyone managed to connect to an AdHoc network on a Milestone with 2.1?

I am struggling to connect to my home wifi network. I very occasionally can connect but there seems to be no obvious method to the madness just some black magic. Basically it sees my network it has remembered the key, the key is correct, and it says disconnected. I press connect and nothing happens at all but sometimes it will say "connecting..." then it will immediately say disconnected. I have a belkin router and my network is secured using WPA/WPA2 TKIP/AES encryption. I have tried using APNDroid to turn off my mobile internet before using wifi and that sometimes works but that seems to be more black magic than a solution.

I got myself a Samsung Galaxy S. And decided to sell my Milestone to a guy. So when he is testing out the phone the WiFi doesn't scan his office WiFi. It scan every WiFi around us except the office WiFi. I use my Milestone's WiFi all the time. And all the time it scan and detect all the WiFi. Infact 30 mins before the sale I was using the Milestone's WiFi at school to find a map to his place.
Weird thing is when I use my Galaxy S to scan WiFi, it scanned all the WiFi and his office's WiFi too. So does anyone know why my Milestone is able to scan everyone else WiFi except his office's WiFi? It couldn't be hidden because my Galaxy S was about to scan his WiFi. This is extremely bad luck, because I know my Milestone is in perfect working condition and now he would think I'm scamming him.

I did a search and couldn't really find any threads with people having similar issues. I saw that people were having trouble keeping their X connected to a network, but that's not my issue.
I have a Droid Incredible and added a line to get the X figuring I'd just sell off the Inc when my X arrived. Since I got my X, I've noticed that when I am connected to a wifi network, it almost seems to crawl when I hop around from page to page.
I ran some speed tests on my internet connection, it seemed that it was my phone. So then I ran speed tests with the app in the marketplace, first on the DInc and then on X. The upload speeds were pretty close to identical, but the download speeds were consistently 300 kbps higher on the Droid Incredible.
So after running those tests, I decided to just do some side by side browsing on the X and Inc to see how big the difference was between the two. I opened up a few pages that I don't ever really visit so they weren't in my browsing history and the Incredible would again open pages 10-15 seconds quicker.
Has anyone else had these same issues? I know their was a software release shortly after the initial launch, is their another one in the pipeline?
I love the phone, it's a multimedia beast. But I don't think I want to keep one that has a busted wifi connection.

Does anyone know if I activate the Wifi connection it trumps the carrier network connection? In other words, if the Wifi connection is active (assuming i have a signal) and my carrier signal is also active, and I want to stream some audio--which pipe does the phone use to bring in the audio?

If I'm someplace that has WiFi am I better off enabling that whenever I can instead of using 3G even if I have the phone in standby or will that use more battery? I might check my email and facebook, etc., maybe every half hour and I'm wondering if I will save battery life by enabling WiFi or will that eat more battery?

You can use the 3G network for surfing the Internet and at the same time the wifi network to move files only?

I'm having trouble with Wifi connectivity on my Milestone. This has happened at several different open Wifi hotspots, so not just at home. The hotspots seem okay, because I can connect through my laptop. Just not through the phone.
When I connect to an AP, and I go to the Wifi settings, it shows me as Connected to that AP. However the phone does not get an IP address. I can tell because I go to the Wifi Settings and click on that AP and it shows me as connected along with the signal strength, but there is no IP address entry. I've tried :
- restarting the phone
- forgetting the AP and re-adding it
This problem started showing up in the last month or so. I'm thinking probably when I got the phone updated to that 2.1-update1 on my phone's network.
Any ideas on what is going on ? I have a Milestone running 2.1-update1 on the Rogers network.

I'm trying to connect to an ad-hoc wifi network with WEP encryption made available by a Windows 7 laptop, which has an Intel 4965AGN NIC. The phone doesn't see the network, and adding it manually doesn't help either. Another laptop, running XP, sees and connects to the network just fine.

I have a Motorola MZ604, wifi only, with Android 4.0.3 from Team EOS XOOM ICS 4.0.3 Wingray MZ604 NIGHTLIES, build 57.
I want to connect it to an Adhoc WiFi port from my mobile phone: Hotspot (Nokia N9), but the XOOM can not find it. But with my laptop, I can connect it very easy.
I listen about, and suggest to install the zip file: wpa_supplicant, at:
[URL]
Probably it works for older version of Android 3, but I tried once, and it did not work, and also I have to reinstall the Nightlies again.Any verified file and way to do it?

It's done this twice now (before and after factory reset). 2.1 OTA, not rooted.
Whenever I turn on the wifi, or I become in range of my WPA2 network, it doesn't always connect. I say "always" because it seems to be random. If I toggle wifi on or off, it doesn't always connect. Sometimes it connects after 30+ seconds. Every other device connects just fine.
The only sure way to get it to connect is to force it to rescan, usually by going to Settings and displaying all SSIDs in range. THEN it connects, always and immediately.
The even sillier thing is, it will alert me of open networks, but never connect to my own saved network.

Just got my Milestone today (having moved over from Windows Mobile and Blackberry). I have signed up to T-Mobile. Got the phone, charged it, inserted SIM and can make calls just fine. However, I can only get a data connection via wifi and not through T-Mobile.

I've had a Milestone for about a month now and have noticed that it seems to have problems detecting that the USB cable has been connected.Sometimes when I connect it, to the mains charger or to a PC, it doesn't indicate that anything has happened - no USB notification and no lightning symbol on the battery to show that it is charging. If I power the phone off and then connect it the phone turns on and shows the USB notification.Has anyone else experienced this or should I look at getting the phone exchanged?

This usually happens after some wifi activities, but i've noticed that whenever my wifi fails to connect or sometimes even when i disconnect from a wifi server, i lose my data connection (im operating on edge with rogers).
This can usually be solved if i restart my phone but obviously thats not ideal. anyone else have this problem? is it a known issue?

I'm using my Milestone fine and everything, but there's a small problem. Sometimes when I'm using the Internet, it'll say say I have a 3G or H Connection but doesn't load anything? The same happens on the Android market, it'll stay loading a list of Apps for ages and will tell there's a trouble with the connection, but then 2 minutes later it'll be fine.

Just like many of you, I'm running 2.0.1 (build 14) on my Milestone and I'm using it as a music player while in public transport. This works fine, if it wasn't for the horrible hiccups that occur everytime the network coverage either drops out or comes back.
Basically everytime this happens (H/3G/regular coverage makes no difference) my music freezes for 0.5-1s, making it a horrible listening experience, especially when you're in the subway or train. It appears that enabling flight mode does resolve this, but since it's also a phone (and internet device), this just doesn't seem like a solution to me.

The only reason I'm starting this thread because I haven't seen this issue on a Milestone thread, and no other threads seem to have an actual 100% solution for this...Most of the times I'm walking around with my Milestone, the music pops or the player pauses completely. I've tried different options (carrying it around inside my bag and not my pocket, for example), different WORKING headsets (including the Motorola ones) and even different players, but nothing solves the problem completly. I just want to make sure there are other options beside having to take it to maintenance (it's still under warranty).

All I want to do is from time to time check my mails. For this, I want to activate the mobile network connection (3G) manually for a short period of time, and then de-activate it again.
The problem is that enabling the "mobile network" checkbox after my phone has been idle for some time, doesn't actually activate the 3G connection. (no "H" or "G" icon in the notification bar)
So when I open the mail app it complains with a "connection failed" message.
Even better would be if I could find a way to have my mails automatically checked whenever the connection is activated ...
Other than that I'm very happy with the phone.

Is anyone having issues with WiFi? I am using a WiFi widget to get connected. It shows connected but there isn't a IP assigned to it? Their on the widget shows 0.0.0.0. Any idea what is happening? I've tried countless times to forget the network and re-connect but still this doesn't work. My wife's on iPhone and hers connect seamlessly. Any idea what could be conflicting my connection? I am using WiFi widget by Robert Burger. It's a nice and simple widget and I don't think that is the problem. For connections, I have to disable the WiFi before I can get online.

If you are within wifi range and make a text message, are you using your data plan or is the phone using wifi? I'm a little confused with this so far. This is my first data phone so I'm unsure of how it works completely. Also, if you are not within a local tower as I work offshore but we have wifi. Can I use the wifi to send text messages and phonecalls? Software for phone calls? software for txt messages. So far I have Handcent SMS for messaging.

Try as I might, I can't find a way to give my Milestone a name on WiFi. My employer are being funny about adding a device that is unnamed, but I can't see where to do it.
