hey guys,
first day i got this phone i tried any feature...
what i was missing? the wifi-direct option in settings
what was strange, the app, wifi shoot, which should only install from the market if the phone is wifi direct compatible installed just fine
starting it results in a popup asking me to go to settings to enable wifi direct
strange?
today i was working with nfc, any tag launcher especially...
it has the ability to launch apps (intents) or activitys of the apps
i guess tasker has the same functionality so if you try, there might be a similair way
so i go to one of my saved nfc tags, add a new action and under the "intent" subsection i select start activity
select:
(in German)
Einstellungen
Settings$WifiP2pSettingsAcvtivity
i guess in english you only have to replace Einstellungen with Settings
now when i go to settings and disable wifi, launch this activity and start wifi direct, wifi shoot doesnt show the popup and shows my device name...
till now i wasnt able to test, wether this really works (i dont have a second wifi direct phone here atm :/ )
could anybody test this?
Thanks
//Robert
This would be so interesting if it works this way.
Sadly I cant test this because i also dont have another wifi direct device.
But i just did a quick google search and the Razr M is indeed able to do Wifi-Direct. But having a Intel SoC here will also result in a different Wifi-Chip right!?
PS: Greetings from D-Derendorf, Robert
I tried it with my Nexus 7,
works! Very Nice!
also just tried, works like a charm, stupid moto

can't make it work with s3 from a friend, what device did you use?
I tried but I just can't, please let me know what is the application to use and the instructions. I'm new on this but I'm starting to love this hi-tech device.
Please help, I don't know if I need something else because the app Anytag NFC launcher doesn't let me do anything.
I'm not an expert on this field, but I would like to impress my Nexus4 friends that the Razr i is really good.
Thanks!
The nfc of my RAZR I doesn't wok, I connect to my nexus 10 and it doesnt work but when I connect my s3 to the nexus 10 it works flawless...
Even the RAZR I doesn't work with the s3...

Wifi direct is one thing, NFC is another, don't mix up.
AW: Make WiFi Direct Work
I just updated To jb and it seems like they kept the activity but the removed nearly all gui elements

have you tried NFC and turning on android beam?????? this should fix your issue
Android beam is sending thru bluetooth, not WiFi Direct
Not working
I have tried almost every possible way to use Wi-Fi direct on my Xperia TX but in vain.
The hardware is indeed included in the phone but I wonder if there is software back up for the same.
Generally whenever you click on wifi Direct option, there are functions to rename your wi-fi direct device name and few others. All of them are missing with Xperia.
I have tried using the feature in sync with Samsung Galaxy S II, LG L9 and Bravia Tablet. All I can see is that connection is established between the two units but send / receive doesn't work.
It feels irritating to see that a flagship product of a company like Sony has these glitches. In addition, there is no available support on this issue on Sony website neither anywhere on web.
I wish that some senior here helps us resolve this topic.
Thanks & regards,

ICS or JB?
In my ICS version, i can't see any options when I check 'Wifi direct'.
I read sony forum, sony's system UI doesnt provide sending/receiving file via wifi-direct.
U have to use apps which can send via wifi direct.
What are these apps?

It does..used it to beam to my gf gnex that she has inherited..you need to adjust the phones slightly tho as the nfc chip are not in same spot..could be the same with other phones

ok so there is no option to turn android beam on you just turn nfc on and good to go?
Doesn't seem to work on samsung devices? Tried to send some files over and it didn't work, tried over wifi direct and still didn't work.
Maybe i'm missing something.

I'm pretty sure samsung uses s-beam which is wifi direct and not bluetooth. (Someone correct me of its the other way around.)
So if you wanna beam to a samsung device turn off s-beam and keep nfc on.

what about wifi direct all of the info i can find online about this and android beam are showing that you can turn them on in settings, is this an update for 4.2.2

Does anyone know how to use Wifi direct with the HTC one to transfer moderate to large files like movies or videos.( beam/bue tooth is to slow) Everytime i try to use it with any phone it fails or doesn't connect. ive also tried third party apps like super beam/ send!/file transfer/ none of which work. i find it hard to believe that the HTC one is suppose to compete with the GS4 and GS3 but cant do any features that mimic S BEAM its a fail on HTC. if anyone could help to get this to work i would appreciate it thank you

Superbeam works fine on my HTC one. Use it to transfer between my one and my Nexus 10 all the time. Make sure Wifi direct is enabled on your phone, I believer there is an option to block it if you don't want people connecting, or something.
Every time I use it it says wifi direct fail I've tried HTC to HTC and HTC to Samsung I have my wifi and wifi direct turned on still not working I even went into the wifi direct option and manually paired with device still not working also tried a different HTC to make sure it's not mine still having same is first file was 86kb failed next was 1gb movie failed

Maybe you could try doing a factory reset or a custom rom, maybe something is borked in your os.
Have the same problem. Try to use WiFi direct with my wife's gs3 so I can watch a movie on my ps3 and her phone kept saying connection failed. Her sbeam was on and we were paired. Kinda weird. Any way on a side note any way to connect our phone as mass storage instead of mtp?

i rooted and flashed custom rom wifi direct still not working with superbeam always comes up saying wifi direct failed try wifi hot spot option....any other suggestions
MadMan3353, we are building an app that does exactly just that. The app is called Drop, and it is a simple, fast, and secure way to share files with people/devices in proximity over WiFi Direct. We are going into a limited Private Beta soon, so if you're up for the challenge, (and running Jelly Bean) then sign up at www.get-drop.com. Seats are limited, and we have a rolling enrollment, so check it out.

This is why I think Samsung in the long run is going to lose...as they copied their way to the top, they are becoming like Apple...create a closed-ecosystem solution. At a minimum you need to create something that works at least within Android....and if you're ambitious, make it work cross-platform with iOS....shameless plug...go check out what we're doing at www.get-drop.com! Going into Private Beta soon for Android first...

I didnt exactly get wht u said.. I googled this app u suggested "where you at"... unfortunately there is no app like that.. anyone else could help me..plz i want som app for vid/voice call on bluetooth or wifi (without internet)
thanks..
i am not an expert but...
may be if we could create an app which lets us create / join Wifi hotspot n by opening browser we would be able to video/voice chat/call (without internet)..m not an expert but..plz see..
an indoor / short range app.. Bluetooth cant be used as its speed is limited to some 150 kbps..i guess wifi can make it possible, wifi is speedier, mpre stable, more range, lesser disconnection etc than bluetooth..its actually a gud idea, this app can also be used in offices.. colleagues can see each other over a vid / voice call / chat without spending a penny on internet, even more productive at home.. or any short range communication.. in a place like india high speed internet is sooo costly.. cant afford 3g or broadband. only by starting wifi hotspot, it shud be visible for users like near frnds, neighbours, colleagues etc & join & start video/voice..
i dnt knw how it is done technically..
anyways.. bye..
thanks.

i m looking for an application (apk) which will connect with other android device using bluetooth / wifi but without using internet.
n it might be possible as v can use wifi hotspot to connect devices for sharing, seeing etc in native internet browser with wifi file transfer app available in play store (something like 192.168.43.1:1234) n this doesnt require internet, why cant v make an app which would work by switching wifi hotspot on from device A & it will be visible for device B to start video/voice call chat by opening browser n using some ip address..
I am expecting an answer from a decent human being (n not any over smart answer like - u need "blah blah" "purchase some hardware" "LMAO" etc).
thnx. n sorry to over estimating imagination power..n thinking that it would be possible..

WiFi direct isn't working on any of our custom Roms, as far as I know. However, a good substitute is Software Data Cable https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.damiapp.softdatacable, it works like WiFi direct. You'll need to install this on both devices, this app can also transfer files between your Android and PC.

i meant, how do you use it, is it by qr code or ip address?
FTP. It works similar to WiFi direct and Bluetooth. 1 device starts a share network using its own WiFi hotspot, the other picks up the hotspot and joins the network. Then you get a browser to share files at good speed.
This does not use your data. If you're worried about it, you can turn off your mobile network and try it.
