    As far as I know ad-hoc is not possible with Android, although perhaps someone else might be able to shed more light on this. I've already tried it with my current phone (which runs Gingerbread) and I've had no luck. When searching for solutions some sources were telling me that ad-hoc in Android is not possible at the moment.

    However the solution I use is to connect through my 3 WiFi modem. I am able to establish socket communication between a client running on my phone and a server running on my computer. I haven't tried a phone-to-phone connection yet but it seems possible.

    Android did indeed have problems with ad-hoc in the past, this caused many people grief when it came to setting up their own wifi hotspots.

    It did get fixed in some later version of gingerbread, 2.3.5 maybe. Try upgrading your firmware.

    Adhoc is available on Android, later versions though.
