Hi
can we share files/songs with two galaxy phones via wifi direct, like same as bluetooth?
Hello
I am not sure but It could be possible with Kies air.
Give a try ...!
I could share pictures with "Allshare" using my Note and my wife's Galaxy S Advance. Very easy to use

can, I did it today (note and s3)
is it taking long time to connect? when I was paring with a note, it was taking long and sometimes I was getting connected but then fail again within seconds.
whats the ideal way to connect?
I'm a bit confused with regard to wifi direct. I understand that it can be used to send files from one phone to another, but is it also possible to send files from a PC (windows vista) to the Gnote via wifi direct?

Ahh Thanks.
The reason for my confusion came from watching a video on youtube which suggested that only one of the two devices needed to support wifi direct in order to connect.
yes we can share file like BT, but opposite device shud hav wifi direct available. (not available on all android)
Is it possible if modded on CM10 for WiDi to werk?? :thumbup:

I usually share my Internet connection through Connectify and my HD2 had no problems connecting at all. However I am unable to detect the signal even on my Gnote. Does anyone else have this problem?
Make sure there is an access point when u connect using connectify.

i m not able to even list the network on my note while i could use it on my nokia c7. would you plz help. i do i resolve this.
I have the very same problem over here. Can´t connect to my Intel My Fi Hotspot (which worked like a charme with my SGSII). I even don´t see a wifi list...
Hi Everybody.
Is it possible to get Wifi Direct working on our O2x?
Seems like nobody tried it yet.
I just found it as a new Feature on my Girlfriend´s SGS I ICS Alpha(never been available before), and as far as i read it´s possible if the Targetdevice has a Bluetooth-Chip and Wlan N.
Some Answers from Devs would be nice.
I'd be interested in this feature. Great for transferring files when out and about.

If it is for file transfer...then i recommend MyPhone Explorer which has Wifi, Bluetooth and USB syncing...it is very easy and safe to archive ur phone call record, sms and also battery monitor....try it...installation on Computer and client on mobile
Is there any such application for transferring files between android phones via wifi?

MyPhoneExplorer....I told you or software Data Cable...the first one works like a charm....
What does it do exactly? I mean WiFi Direct?
It's like Bluetooth between two devices but with wifi...
Ever heard of "ftp:172.27.118.21
Ftp:172.27.118.32
Connected same wifi same channels. So its possible via ftp.

Right...this is via Software Data Cable....also possible via MyPhone Explorer....also through Bluetooth and USB...easily
Web Remote Desktop do the same also.
Wifi direct can be used to transfer files between two phones without a computer or a separate wifi network. So the apps recommend here don't really do the same thing. Ics is the first version of android that allows apps to use wifi direct capabilities of a phone. If the Samsung galaxy s has wifi direct then the optimus 2x will have it as well since we have the same wifi and Bluetooth chip (broadcom 4329)
I guess there is an app for that? I'm using nexus s. is there centralized app for all androids?
Hi
Well, I wanted to know how to use wifi direct to send things to my friend. His phone has wifi direct and my black too, but I don't know how to use. I read that I need an app called wifi cast, and I found this app on smartworld. I installed the app, but I don't know what do I have to do.
Thanks
Short: I don't know, but if you want know something about my experiment
After nearly a year with my black I wanted to try this feature. I could connect a Galaxy S2 with my Black. Then I tried to send a file from the S2. Error. I searched for a possibility to send a file from the black over wifi-direct but, there is no button for that.
I assume that LG wants you to use "Smartshare", but afaik that works only with other LG devices.
Hi Swaddy
Thanks for the answer.
My friend has a galaxy note, and some weeks ago I could connect my black to his note, but I didn't send any pic to his phone. But this week, I tried to connect and I couldn't, don't know why. I guess smartshare doesn't send files, but thanks anyway

for now we can use wifi direct for sending pics videos between two optimus black only using wifi cast, i have two OB @ home so i tested it but when i want to send it to my galaxy s2 or my brother's galaxy note it gets connected through wifi direct but wifi cast doesn't show them so its not possible to transfer with other devices except optimus black
The most useful for me is Copying files between OB and PC using WiFi direct. I have read somewhere that the other device doesn't need to have the WiFi direct hardware feature. Everything can be enabled with software... but How?
I use file manager by rhythm software it has LAN capabilities so i can connect to my PC by IP address.
Trolling in the deep
I am totally loss

Read this you need to set your APN for data connection to work, you can put any name and APN type Internet and it will work or follow this
and view this you don't need to wait for answers, if you know how to use the search button.

Sorry my fried, I didn't mean to bother you but...
What I was talking about was non data connection troubles but hotspot trouble
Data works BUT just on the mobile, when I try to use it as a router (through hotspot) other devices can't get any data, but data still works on the mobile...
I've tried to get information about this trouble but didn't find nothing ...
Hope you can help me

No problem, the devil is in the details, its because you don't explain, what your problem is, XD members might just feel, that hey the answer is out there and you need to search for it.
Hotspot may not work on all devices, so try using a compatible maybe Android Router ver 2? ( have not used them, so you need to test it out) or any of this, IF one is not working , try another. most likely for routers to function, correct setting must be in place and clients must be authorized.
Does anyone know if there's a fix, workaround or ROM that fixes the damn wifi direct functionality?
I have 3 weeks with my SP and it has worked 1 single time so far!
Ive been testing with a pair of SIII but despite pairing successfuly it can't send.nor receive anything. It simply says "transfer failed"

wifi direct in XSP does not support direct file transfer
u need to install app to send or receive the files
as it does not have in built ftp protocol
use SUPERbeam for file sharing
You will need to install file commando on both devices
thx guys, but shouldnt it be like industry standard now?.. i mean, i can install the apps youre suggesting and push my friends to do it to, but, say, what if i want to share something with a relative or something, i cant just tell everybody to install some app in order to share stuff.
If thats the solution at this time, thats cool, but i hope Sony addresses this on the future.
Thanks a lot guys
