You start SONbuddy for a very first time on your device and click on the OK button to configure SONbuddy. After the configuration, you see no one on your buddy list although there are some SONbuddy users already inside the same network and are around your vicinity.

Solution: Manually add the network to join

2. In the Network Name text box, enter the name of the network you want to create (E.g. SONBUDDY).
3. Select your WEP status from the dropdown list box.
4. You may select your data encryption as 10-digit HEX, 26-digit HEX or disable the WEP data encryption.
5. If you choose to enable 10-digit HEX WEP data encryption, then enter 10-digit HEX string consisting of number 0–9, a-f or A-F only.
6. Click the box to select the option For Ad hoc connection only if you specifically want to create an ad hoc network.
7. Click OK to close the Add New Network setting.
