I use HTC Explorer and I have created an ad-hoc network on my laptop. Although other laptops are easily able to connect to it, my mobile device is not even detecting the Wi-Fi.
How can I connect my mobile to the Wi-Fi hotspot on my laptop (running Windows 7)?
There is an alternative solution involving "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter":
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=NAME key=PASSWORD
netsh wlan stop hostednetwork
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
For additional details and troubleshooting see this post on XDA-developers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-alternate-to-ad-hoc-wi-fi-network-t1924911
Ad Hoc networks are not supported natively by Android devices, unless you get your device rooted and make some tricks in the underlying linux system.
There are a lot of pages talking about that:

Does Android or iPhone Cell Phone can interact with multi paired Bluetooth device at same time?
For example connect wireless headphone and PC using Bluetooth at same time and send sound to headphone and a document to PC?
Bluetooth is strictly one-to-one protocol. To make the matter worse - (without additional software) you can output sound on one device only.
I know there are "two-port" Bluetooth adapters available, although I've never tried one. If you plug such an adapter into headphones output of your PC, you can pair your two headsets to it.
After rereading the manual once again, noticed the following: "with a Bluetooth phone that does not support Bluetooth stereo (A2DP)". Therefore my phone will not allow to connect to the second device.It may be impossible to do this. See if there is more in the manual about this Bluetooth device being a "master Bluetooth" device or not
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth
You can get more info. there. Some devices can only connect to one device at a time.
By the way some tricks and forums for the same topic are available on the internet (I haven't tried any of them):

I am using ubuntu 15.10 and android 4.0.4. I googled a lot how to reverse tether from ubuntu to android but couldn't find any reasonable answers. So how can i share my ethernet connection on my ubuntu to android? i know i should create a new wifi hotspot from my pc and set it to "shared to other devices" but the wifi hotspot is NOT visible in my android phone! Also creating a wireless network with setting "infrastructure" to "ap" mode did not work for me.
Thank you for your answers!
Checkout hostapd.
This documentation for Ubuntu looks like it'd get you going, but you'll probably have to make a few tweaks, like wlan0 will be eth0. wlan1 would be the wireless adapter that is broadcasting to your phone.

I am developing an application which need to use both networks at the same time - via WiFi the app has connection with some external device, and control it, using of 3G network needs to download a firmware for device. But the problem is when you connect to WiFi the system automatically do the disconnect of 3G network. It seems that WiFi has high priority than 3G network, but I need to use them at the same time, it's wrong behavior of the system for me in this case
I saw a couple similar questions, but they have no solution. Is really android has no way for developers to control both networks even for versions higher than 4.03?
How we can solve the problem?
Do it in a linear fashion. Turn off the wifi and download the firmware. Subsequently re-connect to the device (re-enable the wifi) and transfer the locally stored firmware.

I'm running Apache/MySQL/PHP and I want to view my localhost on my android tablet. I've read in here that if the tablet is also in the same WiFi network that the server on my laptop, I could find out what the ip address of my laptop is with the ipconfig command and make it work...
So the IP is
192.168.0.199
I went to my tablet, entered the IP and nothing. Kept researching in here and found out what the problem was: My windows firewall!!!
If I disable the windows firewall, I can access my localhost from my tablet. Obviously, i don't want to disable my firewall, so the question is how do I allow my windows firewall to give access to my android tablet?
I figure that I need to add an exception, but i have no idea what the parameters are.
Help!
you can allow your device to access your localhost without disabling the firewall by following the steps:
1- get know your mobile IP address, it differs how to get it from android device to device, In my device, I can have it by going through settings -> WIFI -> advanced then search for my mobile IP address.
2- follow the right answer of the is question to make your firewall allow access of specific IP address.
but as #Alexei said.. you should know the port you want to access otherwise you will end up accessing nothing.
hope this is useful for you

after I rooted a Nexus 10 the app I have written which connects to an Arduino in USB Host mode no longer works properly. I'm pretty sure this is because the USB Host mode is no longer available.
I have checked the original unrooted device with Chainfire's 'USB Host Diagnostics' tool and it recognises the plugged in Arduino whilst scanning for connected devices, but nothing is detected after rooting.
Originally the device had Android 4.3 - build JWR66Y, and USB Host mode worked.
I rooted via the Nexus Root Toolkit and installed a rooted image of the same build, now the device isn't detected.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks
This is not a question of your app not working. I have seen it plenty of times that when someone roots a device the USB host no longer works. Its a problem with the ROM or method that was used to root the device. Best bet is to reset the device and try something else.
