Hi everybody I have this issue
I have activated my phone wifi, and I have my own wifi at home , not through a router but through a single antenna. The ssid is "lol" well, my iPhone gets signal from it plus some others , but my Optimus f6 me tropics won't get any signal from "lol" but from others. Plz help me . I even set my iPhone as a hotspot n the Optimus catches the signal from it, but no luck from my desktop computer antenna. My wifi is set with ad hoc configuration /shared/WEP. Thx in advanced guys, glad to be part of this new community.

Hi and welcome to the forum. :)

This is your problem. Some (most) Android don't recognize ad hoc networks. You will need to set it up in infrastructure mode for Android to use/recognize it
