wifi to macbook pro (ad-hoc) not connecting - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

I cannot even see the network made by macbook pro using I9305T (create network using airport), whereas i can see the same network in iphone.
what could be the issue?
my phone info: rooted I9305T Samsung rom, 4.1.2 BLL3 and very minimal changes to rom (some camera apk changes, bit of mms.apk changes etc.)

does airport support non-iOS devices?

I can't get it to work either, so I guess not.

Wireless tether?

I just rooted a phone on .5 stock firmware. Wireless tether from the market and pre 9 both install fine and start fine... but on other devices i dont see the network showing up. Is there a modified version or one that works good with stock? Thanks

I just tried pre3 and 3 evos dont see the ssid but a iphone does? Wtf someone please help haha

it shares the network in ad-hoc mode. Android phones by default can't see that unless they have a modified wpa supplicant. Iphone's and pc's can use it, buy game systems can't either. And apparently, neither can chrome os, damnit...

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...

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

[Q] WiFi direct

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?

Wifi HTTPS Issue

Hey guys, so ever since updating to 4.3 I've been having trouble with my wifi connection. It's not just mine it's my partners as well we have C6903's running the latest generic au firmware. It's seems that when connected to wifi I can access normal websites it works fine but if they use https they time out as if I didn't have internet. I've noticed to that apps that I assuming use ssl such as hangouts and the bank apps don't work either but apps such as tapatalk work fine. Anyone else having an issue like this or know how to fix it? Btw I've tried changing dns settings to Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and still no luck.

Type of connection (WiFi or 3G/4G) should not affect to the SSL, I think there is a problem with you router. Check that TCP port 443 is open.
For your information, I'm on 4.3 (.136) too and I have no problems with secured content.
Well that's what I thought too, but then why do no other devices on my network have an issue?

Did you tried to open HTTPS using antoher Hotspot/WiFi network?
try other firmware. i also have a lot of issues with australian one hwever not the https one. the generic ncb is a good one. i am still on austrlian fw cause i think it may helps me with getting 4g from vodafone. dont know, havent test yet. but i always want to change to ncb

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.
