It hasn't been implemented for i9000 yet, but if you look over in Dev you will find a thread where it is being worked on, but don't hold your breath!

As I said all we need is service for receiving and sending

Well... i would say it worked for me cuz i took 3apps consernig wifi direct from SGSII port then install them but the search app crashes if you're not already paired and the file transfer doesn't always end. will tag the 3 apps sooner. have a good day..
EDIT: Sorry I can't find the apps in the rom archive will take a look at TB archives..

Is it JB or stock ICS?

There is an app called WiFi Direct which allows file sharing among two devices on the Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.wifidirect&hl=en
You should try this app. I cant because I switch between GB and JB , none of which have Wifi Direct . There is a WiFi Direct Menu in JB , but there is no way to connect or switch on WiFi Direct.

Rooted phone and no wifi

So i have a brand new Samsung Galaxy S from Bell and i love the phone. I noticed it was laggy and thats how i found this forum. Today i downloaded superoneclick and rooted the phone. I have installed the lagfix and the phone is working great except for one issue.
Before i rooted the phone my wifi worked fine, now it shows its connected to the wifi but i get a network error message whenever i tried to use the market, browse the internet ect. My wireless router is working fine, another Galaxy S in the house has no troubles accessing it. If i disable the wifi the 3G connection works just fine on the phone. Any idea what i did and how the heck do i fix it? I dont really want to get involved with a repair from Bell at this point.
Thanks in advance for any replys or advice.
install app called droid wall and then mark all apps to work on wi-fi if that is not working than flash new rom and kernel

I would guess that it's an unsuccessful root. Rooting shouldn't affect Wifi.

what does it say when you try?
you can connect to any regular wifi network right?
I can connect to other wificonnections just fine. I have not had the opportunity to try this since I posted the problem. As soon as I get the chance I will and post back with answer.
Edit:
I have since flashed di11is6.0no_oc

I have only been able to connect to those connections when running stock. I have not been able to get it to work with any custom rom at all. I think there is something in bloat that att uses that allows it to connect, as you can tell only ATT phones are supposed to be able to connect to them.
If you don't have the att wsprservice all(or whatever it's called) you can't connect to hidden att hotspots and won't automatically connect to their open ones.

[BUG] WiFi Portable Hotspot with Ad-Hoc supported ROMs

Hello everyone,
I just received my Asus Transformer (WiFi Only) and wanted to connect it to my Nexus S portable hotspot.
The Transformer found the hotspot network and even connected to it but I wasn't able to open web pages or even sync my google account.
I tested this on 2 Transformer units, Galaxy S II phone and a Nexus One (with CM7 which also can't generate a working hotspot network).
After several tests I've discovered every ROM that has Ad-Hoc support behaves the same - generate hotspot network that you can connect to but can't actually use. Also tested all WiFi tether apps on Market - all beacon ad-hoc networks, which Stock Android 3.1 can't find&connect to.
I tested all Ad Hoc supported ROMs: CM7 latest nightly, CM7.0.3 stable, MIUI latest, Oxygen and SupeAosp8.6. Finally flashed a stock 2.3.4 ROM and the hotspot feature worked perfectly. Also tested it on both Nexus S radios (KB3 and KD1).
Would love if someone can locate and fix this bug...
Probably something in the wpa_supplicant file or with DNS resolving.
Thank you!
EDIT: A solution for my specific issue - Will allow Ad Hoc support on the Transformer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093778
Still won't solve the main issue when you have to root and add Ad Hoc support for both devices.
I also encountered this problem.
What I did was download an App called: Wireless Tether for Root Users
I would use it anyway because it tracks data usage and enables security options.

Thanks for replying.
As I wrote in the OP, I've tried every WiFi tether app on the Android Market, including wifi tether for root users. All uses adhoc networks which stock Android devices can't see and connect to.
what solves it for me is adding dns host ip on the client computer
it works fine when you do that
I use PDAnet for tablets with my TF - it works really well. You can download it from the market.

You used it to connect your tablet to a hotspot network generated from your CM7/SupeAosp8.6, Oxygen or MIUI ROM?

Thanks, we did it as well on a Linux machine for testing but you can't set static IP on Honeycomb... at least not on stock version.
Regarding PDA for tablets, reading the app description on the Market I understand it uses Bluetooth sharing and not wifi tether. Also, it clearly says it only works for browser, email and YouTube apps. Hardly a solution.
I'll work with a Linux expert today to see if he can solve this. If so, I'll upload the files here.

Yes, I misread your op, hands up; I'm guilty as charged. However, you should perhaps be a little less dismissive of people trying to help you. Also it may have helped if you had posted your question to the correct thread in the first place (that's hardly difficult is it!).

LOL did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?
I REALLY wasn't trying to dismiss you... AT ALL!
Your solution will probably be great for many other people but as I mentioned in the OP, I'm looking for a specific solution for the WiFi tether, which is an option coming with stock Android and doesn't require users of any other apps or system knowledge.
As already mentioned, I'm working with a linux guy to check maybe he can make both things work - Ad-Hoc and stock Android WiFi Tether option.
If the XDA moderators think this should go into Q&A/General they can move it. I believe it should be here as it is relevant for all ROM developers here.

I agree with you buddy. I am looking for some pure soul that can develop a patch so I can connect my rooted Nexus S to an Ad-hoc wifi computer connection...

How to use Android beam and WiFi direct on o4x

Can anybody tell me how to use android beam and WiFi direct on o4x? I have tried every permutation and combination to get these working but failed only play store opens and says item not found
Don't understand what you mean.
You find the settings or those are not working? What do you exactly mean?
Maybe this process needs an app and that app is not available in your country .
Maybe .
I mean to say, when ever i am trying to receive the data from other device over nfc i.e. through android beam, i am unable to receive the data and android play store pops up searching for some app and as said earlier that app is not available for my country (may be) due to which a msg pops up which says"App not available" Can anybody help me to get rid of this?
Hi Kanad,
I have tested the NFC and Wifi direct with many phones (apart from LG). When you turn on NFC, go to your gallery open a picture and now place your phone's back(as lg has nfc at its back) to the area of any other NFC enabled phone. When you do so your phone will vibrate and a message will pop on your screen stating Touch to beam. Please note our NFC only transfers photos or some website page. It is not to be confused with Samsung android beam. Our NFC uses bluetooth while Samsung uses wifi.
Coming to wifi direct. We cannot transfer files even though we connect through wifi direct to any Samsung devices. For using wifi direct we need to have a program called wifi cast or fast file transfer.

I'm sorry for asking this stupid question, but is it possible to send or receive large files, like mkv or some sort with wifi direct?
I've tried sending some movies over wifi direct to LG L9 but always failed. I've always thought wifi direct has got the same inner working as bluetooth, is that correct?
Sorry for these silly questions, I'm quite a noob on Android.

The largest file I ever sent via Wifi Direct using Fast File Transfer is an archive file with the size of 276 MB and the transfer was successful. I haven't tried to send anything larger. Also, the transfer was from my friend's Lenovo K860 to my O4X

Hey, yes we can share files more than1 GB. You will require the right program. For Eg. Wifi Cast only supports pictures,etc. So fastfiletransfer can help you in this case.

[Q] Wifi direct

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
