[Q] Wifi Direct

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?

[Q] How to use Wifi Direct?

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

How do I get wifi-direct to do anything?

So, I know wifi-direct is a standard to wirelessly transfer data between 2 devices without a network/router/other form of middleman and I know NFC gets 2 devices to connect and transfer the data. However, is there a way to do this WITHOUT a 3rd party app like Superbeam and WITHOUT NFC?
For instance: Going into the wifi settings, there is an option to manually connect to a device through wifi-direct. I have connected my HTC One to my Nexus 7 and a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. But I see nothing that allows me to transfer any data anywhere after connecting. It's not in the wifi-direct settings, it's not in any app I've looked at, nothing.
Any insight as to why this option is a part of Android if NFC or third party apps are the only way to do this? Or if I'm simply just missing something?
This is what I'm curious about

i believe this would be in your settings under transfer content instead of under wifi settings. just a guess if i am mistaken some please let me know.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll experiment with that. But that's asking for the other phone to install the HTC transfer app as well. It feels like it's designed to move your info from your old phone to new one, not exactly "here's a file for you" kind of use. I'll try it later and share what I find.

reading up that there may not be any system-level functionality for wifi-direct. Will need an app to take advantage of it. oh well...

[Q] Does AHD support a working WiFi Direct feature ?

Hello everyone!
I tried to search about it everywhere but couldn't find the solution. I have a AHD phone and want to use its WiFi-Direct feature. I am able to connect it with other device but don't know how to send or receive large files using this feature? Somewhere I read that even AHD does have a WiFi Direct option but its of no use as NFC is no present there.
Just wanted to ask you tech savvy guys how can I use it to send / received large files as even cheap Chinese crap phone has this awesome working function built in.
Thanks a lot!!!

It is mean that you want to send some bing files to other device by using wifi?
I just know that you can send some file via wifi connection with some app
You can't use ahd like gs3 to send some file just put two phone together
Sorry for my Poor English because i am a chinese

Bluetooth?
The AHD has no Near Field Communication. If the files are fairly small like pictures your best bet would probably be to send them via Bluetooth. If they are larger (more than a few megs) you are probably best off using cloud storage (GDrive, Skydrive etc.) to move them.

[Q] Wifi direct Z1 on 4.3 couple of questions

Was trying to show someone wifi direct the other day and as it turns out it didn't want to work.
Went to album, selected a pic, pressed menu and share, scrolled down and there was no option for wifi direct.
I've also read that you have to pair with the device first.
I even tried an app that I used to use called SuperBeam which also didn't work.
Does anyone have this working?
I was attempting to send files to a Note 3, even android beam didn't work.
I don't use this feature all the time but it'd be nice to have a feature working if it's supposed to.
Cheers.

Superbeam works fine for me. 41mbps+ for large single file transfers

Same here. I was trying to connect via Wi-Fi to my TV Sony. I paired the devices but I never get it work and never displayed any pictures on the TV or even send them via Wi-Fi, I missing the option sending via Wi-Fi too. I don't know, I just give up.

for me it's mixed bag. sometimes it works like a charm, just press Throw, shows available devices, chosing one of them send the file to the output (photo, video, music). and sometimes - like after disconnecting and trying to connect again few minutes later - it doesn't work at all.

The point i'm trying to make is why on earth is it on the device if the device doesn't use it? I can't understand why a company would allow a protocol to be included and then not give the ability to use it?
On the vast majority of phone all you do is pick a file and select share, then choose wifi direct and off it goes, no need to be connected to wifi, infact you wouldn't even need a sim card to do it.
Such a stupid thing to happen and a bit awkward when someone with a sammy device is showing off a feature and even though yours has it it doesn't work lol.
I found myself saying "Ok just download this app" Bit long winded isn't it? I mean click share and click wifi direct job done, what gives ?
