Make WiFi Direct Work

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...
Like my work

Wifi direct is one thing, NFC is another, don't mix up.

[Q] how to connect 3g modem in xperia z?

I searched through Google and I found nexus 7 device is capable of connecting 3g modems and I want to know whether xperia z also capable of connecting 3g and 4g modems because it is the best available device right now.
And also I admire it is a Sony's product always has a lot of xda support if xperia z is not capable of connecting external modems I asked xda developers to find a solution please...................

Re: Xperia Z 3G USB Dongle Support
As I posted in another thread.
I don't believe it will, try it there's no harm in testing it out.
If it's just a plug and play usb wireless internet dongle it'll work.
But if you need to login through a Windows app or something then it won't.
Yes some Chinese and local tablets do work..

unfortunatelly wifi direct no working

I've succesfully sent music over the computer and Phone with wifi, not using any apps whatsoever.

You can do it with OfficeSuite WiFi Direct. Install OfficeSuite on both phones, then use the Share menu to send files over WiFi Direct with OfficeSuite.

I've officesuite that came with the phone pre-installed. But when I try to share via Wi-Fi Direct, I don't see any share option to do so. But the connection between the device is successful.
I don't quite understand, why does this require an app? Isn't this a native Android feature?

Yes. It works (shows in the share) after I opened the OfficeSuite once.
But why is this feature requires an app? Isn't this an standard Android feature? No common built-in share application?

There is no built-in sharing over WiFi Direct in Android. Might come later though.

Sorry, so what Samsung has implemented is their own method, which is why I'm not able to share with Samsung device via Wi-Fi direct, right?

Bro, I know we can transfer via few other ways. Wi-Fi direct has one of the fastest transfer rates and more over trouble-free if it can work.
I'm talking about couple of gigs video files to transfer from one device to another on the go! Any suggestions without third-party software?

Without 3rd party m not sure if its possible right now but try this: SUPERBEAM WiFi Direct (Click here for Marker Link)
With this you can simply scan the bar code and transfer huge data (I tried photos) - let me know !!

WIFI direct

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

Download Superbeam in the market.

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.

Seriously? This doesn't help solve his problem. Especially when it is obvious from his posts that he has tried HTC to HTC.

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...

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.
