Hi guys,
I have been using Android OS for not much time now but just around past 2 years.
Prior to shifting to Xperia TX (the much-hyped Bond series phone), I had been a Samsung customer and had S II before.
What I have noted is that Xperia TX does have Wi-fi Direct feature but does not work as expected.
It was butter smooth for me to share files on S II through wifi Direct but that seems to not work on my Xperia.
I have tried all methods to use it but in vain. When I turn on the wifi Direct, it does connect to my S II but does not move ahead. In addition, there is no option on TX to share via Wifi Direct.
I am left to use third party apps to use normal Wifi hotspot feature.
Can anyone please help me with how to use wifi direct feature on Xperia TX?
(P.S. I know that Android beam does not help in Wifi Direct. It is specifically dedicated for NFC. Galaxy S II does not have NFC feature. Please help me in knowing how can I use just WIFI Direct for sharing files much has music and videos)
Thanks!!!

Hi, I'm buying a Galaxy S 5.0, and like the Galaxy Tab p1010, he don't have 3G, or SIM card. With the Galaxy Tab p1010 can I use a phone with 3G and bluetooth to share internet ? I had a nokia n800 and I was able to do this very easy.
Sorry for my english.
Thanks
Hi rapha lira.
Same as mine.
I also has GT-P1010 and also nokia n900
Don't expect to much with wifi,because it doesn't support ad-hoc networking even you install joikuspot.
neither also with bluetooth.because samsung has use their own bluetooth stack that doesn't support DUN and PAN because my nokia n900 has already support dun and pan.
the only choice is buy 3g modem with wifi infradtructure support.
right now,I am going to hack and replace bluetooth stack samsung with bluez linux universal,hopely can

hum, so the only way to connect to internet is with teether, this is sucks, drain the battery very quickly.
But thank you, I will have to live with that.... Miss my n800, the best tablet, It's a shame that nokia is so dumb to kill maemo, and meego, and symbian, and now making a partnership with microsfot...
Hey! I found this thread when looking for a solution to my problem, but unfortunately this thread does not answer my question, however I maybe able to assist in your situation.
Depending on what phone you currently have (if it's a Nokia smartphone; including s60v3 and v5), you maybe able to tether your 3G/HSDPA for your Galaxy S 5.0. To do this, download and install JoikuSpot on your Nokia (JoikuSpot Premium recommend, to password protect your network). This software will allow you to tether your 3G/HSDPA from your smartphone via an ad-hoc network; the software will create an ad-hoc network.
Unfortunately as the 'Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0' runs on Android, it does not support ad-hoc networks; therefore the network you have created from your Nokia is not detected. However to over come this obstacle, you will need to root and apply a specific patch for Android, which will allow ad-hoc network communication; this will then allow your Samsung Galaxy 5 to connect to your Nokia's 3G/HSDPA.
The patch has been developed by XDA forum member blackplatypus, which you may find here: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-ad-hoc-wireless-network-support/
After doing everything above, your problem should be solved!
Enjoy.
.. now, I'm going back to look for a solution to my problem.
Its a good option, but my galaxy have gingerbread 2.3.5 and I cant root him. But thank you, hope you find a solution.
I know this is a little old but I am trying to get this to work..
I am able to get my Tmobile G2X to teether through Bluetooth with my Asus Transformer (3.2 OS) but cannot get my Tab to do the same.. It would be awesome if I could get to work because WIFI teethering kills my battery fast..

ok today i recieved my XSP as soon i connect it to wifi i got an update .. i downloaded and upgraded to latest version
but now am seein that my wifi singnals are not strong as my previous phone adn other phone
all phones are on same place yet XSP is hardly getting any signal.. has i got a faulty piece or .. it is with XSP...
WiFi issues are common on the SP. There are solutions if you're willing to root your phone - I think the thread which outlines them is called 'wifi fix'.
It worked for me - the SP has the best range of all the devices in my house.

It's not only a question for xperia Z1. I've tested on xperia T it was the same.
When trying to seting parameters, i can't connect on CUCM server.
There is some compatibility problem. Cisco have the solution, it work when using an old ES version of jabber.
Is some one have this problem, and something to mod on xperia to use the last version?
Thanks

Hi!
According to the Cisco Jabber release notes, the problem is in the phone, and if you need to make it work, you must make some changes in CUCM

Hi. New N7+ owner here. Have been reading (even before I bought the device) this forum and I am grateful for all the information people have shared here.
There are a few questions I have about the device - I'll ask one for now and hopefully, someone has an idea about it - does the phone (upgraded to 8.1 on purchase) support Wifi Sharing (not sharing your data connection but sharing wifi - like an extender. My previous phone (Samsung S7 7.0 had that and that was very useful for me).
Thanks.

Well as far as i know there is no such native function in the phone itself. But I'm sure there's an app in the PlayStore that would support that function
There is a Wi-Fi Direct option in share menu but couldn't get it work with friends Samsung Galaxy S8+
Hello everyone! I'm a newbie to XDA. Sorry for my bad English
I'm using an Xperia Z3 Compact Docomo. Recently, I found out a problem with wifi on my device. I've spent time to search for this for several time, but it's not like any opportunities there:
My device is running on Marshmallow. The Internet is very, very slow( of course I don't enable any Battery Saving Mode). I have flashed my device back to Lollipop, but the problem was still there. Then I flashed my device back to Kit Kat, the connection was ok. I thought that this problem is my device's firmware. However, when I used my device on Marshmallow to connect to my neighbor's wifi, there no problem with Internet connection. Then I flashed back to Lollipop and connect to my neighbor's wifi, the connection is still ok.
I think this problem related to DHCP, Mac address,... or something else like that but I don't know how to fix.
Now I'm running on Kit Kat in order to keep normal connection with my wifi. But I don't want to stay at this version because of the ancient interface, you know :crying:. I want to go to Lollipop or Marshmallow. Can you explain why and help me how to fix this problem ?
Thanks you!
