Anyone succeeded transferring files (photos, videos or any other file types) using Wi-Fi direct without using any third party software on both devices?
*** Bump ***
Anyone?
What a pity!
Apperenly no one used the Wi-Fi Direct?
I saw a big cry out in XS forum from people for this feature, but here no one seems to be using it
Wanna use ot to but cant get it to send or share files between a pair

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?

I'm not talking about computer to phone. That isn't Wi-Fi direct.

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?

You can use Photo Transfer App (avail on every platform)

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 !!

How do you transfer files using WiFi direct? It's failing when I'm sending files from s3 to TX
Sent from my LT29i using Tapatalk 2
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?

did you make it work? I tried the same thing but all I heard is the sound twice but nothing. Somewhere I read, you need to have the Bluetooth on but didn't help...

I use "send!" from the app store which uses nfc to make a wireless connection so you have much better speed. But if you want to use pure nfc just install "Android Beam" and you can send things through nfc to others even if they don't have the app. Under share it will pop up with the app that allows you to send it.

Doh, I guess android beam is now baked in so just let the devices connect and it will auto share the content, as I said I use send!. Here's the official tutorial https://support.htc.com/en-uk/005-HTC_One/0G0/040
The s4 has to have s-beam off and nfc on then it'll work.

Hi all,
I just wondering how exactly to use this features on my HTC One. Does anybody use it successfully ? I cannot do that. I tried sometimes to send files with WiFi direct but it does not appear neither in gallery and music! ;(

I dont think that you can beam files from phone to phone via wifi. with NFC it works but its a bit buggy.

But is was possible between S2 and S3... And how to do that with NFC ? Some guide or something else like that ?
Is only one option the bluetooth ? I mean without thirdparty app.
Thanks beforehand!

Same question here. I tried using NFC also but it is not working for me. I enabled it from settings. Any other setting required? First I thought its a hardware problem in my handset.
Have you tried using SuperBeam from the mkt? Works fine for me between my HTC One and an N4 - transferred a large video file pretty quickly between the two even though there was no wifi network/router available nearby

for NFC share, this is what HTC says https://support.htc.com/en-au/010-HTC_One/0G0/040

Thanks. SuperBeam successfully transfer one mp3 from S3 to One but it was impossible do it from One to S3.. I will try again tomorrow.
About thr NFC when i try to send imahe or music the S3 opens Playstore and says the item is not found!
I cannot understand where exact is the problem. As I said already it was VERY easy to transfer from S2( one of the best phone I have ever had) and S3...
PS: I love my ONE !

You can root and install Bluetooth File Transfer and send to other bluetooth devices, install Evernote, send it that way, or sync the pic with your phone and share from your phone.
No rooting necessary. Side load Tablet Talk with wondershare and you can share straight from the watch to anyone...just make sure you know the number. It doesn't sync contacts.

I am newbie, don't even know what side-load means. I tried Bluetooth Transfer, but I am not rooted, whatever that is.. So, it doesn't work..
I am going to keep reading and most likely I will find out how to side load.. The Samsung rep loaded a couple pics off my Note 3 to the Gear, but he didn't know how he did it...
It seems the mini-gallery is working. I loaded a lot of my pics and vids on my Note 3. I have a 64gb sd card, so I was real liberal with the amount of pictures. Today, I hit the mini-gallery app on my GG and sure enough, I could browse all my pics..haven't tried the vids..

Well mine is working like a charm. Not rooted. App is "mini gallery"... I have it on the face of my GG. I tap it, it shows me the pics on the camera, and what I have stored on the Note 3.. Shows them all.
It works for me now, i just uninstalled the 1.5 tablet in gear and installed 1.7 and with that version the share worked
Still cant find the .apk file in my note3 for my tablet talk i bought would be great to use that instead in my gear.

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.
