[Q] Wi-Fi Direct - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else having problems using this? The one under the Wi-Fi Settings.
I also tried using Super Beam transferring between 2 HTC One's and did not work. Not sure if this is related.
Thanks.

Nope, I did exactly that last week and it worked perfectly
Did you get any error messages or just nothing happened? I couldn't get the NFC part to work but the qr code established a wifi direct connection fine.

This is SuperBeam right?
How about the wifi direct, directly under wifi settings? We're you able to use it?

Yes that's right.
Forgive me if I'm missing something, but I don't think you can "use" wifi direct by its self. It's just a temporary network between 2 devices to transfer information, so you need some kind of app to send/receive the information (like superbeam). That option under wifi is just to enable it on the phone.

Wlan_rx_wake... Anyone else??

This seems to be highest on my kernel wakelocks. I searched Google and found out that modifying my wifi network and making it static should do the trick but it didn't work. Anyone else suffering from this problem?

Problem is that the router maybe sending out packets to check on what all devices are still connected and this will vary from router to router and further down to their specific settings ...
It has started happening on my home router but office one is just fine ... so I am going to do some experiments on the home one to find the culprit settings ... its Netgear btw

If you have Wifi connected while the screen is off it will continue to be the highest.
Oh I see, do I'm guessing there's no real fix for it

Try this....
Goto Settings > WiFi > Advanced and set "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to anything but "always"....
see how that works out for you...

Maybe a silly question, but I am always wondering if you turn off WiFi when screen off, will I still receive email if I have push email? Of course assume I don't have 3g enabled.

You're turning of wifi, not cellular data so you'd still get pushes and other stuffs coming in from the web.

Hotspot & WiFi Direct should work on $600 phone

Hi pals. It's been 3 years I'm buying HTC and have had awesome time with them. I'm THE ONLY ONE in my family and friends with HTC and all others buy Samsung.
WiFi Direct didn't work on my One X and I'm really VERY disappointing to know that it doesn't work on One too. All Samsung phones around me have built-in WIFI DIRECT option when they try to share a pic or a video. We don't have anything in our 'share' menu.
I tried using FAST FILE TRANSFER app on my phone. It works like a charm on any phone and transfer 1gig of data within 5 minutes. BUT it's not for me AGAIN! I ran the app and the error came up saying, "wifi hotspot not working on your device. This is how it is implemented in the OS and don't rate the app bad."
I got outta app and turned hotspot on manually and guess what! NO OTHER MOBILE PHONE is able to connect to my HTC One's wifi hotspot. They find the network and get stuck on getting IP ADDRESS.
Wifi hotspot worked in previous devices. Instead of making other stuff work we now have a not-working-hotspot.
I really am a die hard HTC fan but how will HTC get users when they won't care for this petty issue. All samsung around me NEVER use BT unless they're to deal with me.
Is there any way I can use WiFi Direct and WiFi Hotspot on my One?
WiFi Hotspot, if works, will do the job for me because FAST FILE TRANSFER will solve WiFi Direct issue.

Already tried this. This app needs to be installed on BOTH devices. Now how can I make other to download the app for me in his phone.
This app > https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floriandraschbacher.fastfiletransfer works if only ONE DEVICE has installed it. This app carshed on my One X. But on my One it says wifi hotspot isn't working in my device.

WiFi hotspot uses default hotspot and that doesn't work. I was able to transfer data with LAN but both devices should've ES EXPLORER right? I already use ES so this is convenient for me as long as I'm at home because we all use ES as a file manager. But the transfer speed is only ~2MBps.
As a work around at home I use SOFTWARE DATA CABLE app and that gives me around 5-7MBps speed. Still it needs to be on both devices.
So any of this isn't practically possible when I'm trying to transfer data to my colleague or friend.

wifi hotspot works on both my one x and one, I tried superbeam, I could send a file from my one to my one x but not from my one x to my one
also think a 600 eur phone should have a working wifi direct. Shame HTC

I'm having a very similar problem. I've used my HTC One to tether its 3G to my laptop several times, but it suddenly stopped working. My MacBook can recognize the network and even connect to it (sort of) but it says "no internet connection". Furthermore, the WiFi direct apps also have stopped working (I'm guessing the issue might be related). I used to use an app called "Flash Transfer". I've tried several different apps from the Play store, none of them work. It just says "Connecting" and the finally gives up and fails.
This is really very frustrating, especially since I got it to work before. I don't know what changed!

See that's the point. Now if I'm sitting in a cafe and need to transfer 200MB video I shot last night at a party I'll be forced to take my laptop out and transfer the video to laptop and then connect friend's phone to laptop.
Samsung users will select 'share' > 'WiFi Direct' > 'Send'
I can't make anyone else install the app in order to make WD work. Infact why should even I install it. It should work out of the box.
Never bought Samsung and never will but this thing is really pissing me off that only I use BT and no on else around me.

The hotspot on this phone works just fine. It's something on your phone. Could be a hardware issue, you need to do a factory reset or reflash with your RUU. I have had no problems with my hotspot on my One, or on my One X.
Also, if you're running a stock rom thats from a carrier, they like to mess with the hotspot functionality.

Hotspot stopped working on One X when it came to 4.1.1. I don't have that phone any longer so not an issue. How could this be a HW issue?

Can't connect to wifi

So this was mentioned and never solved. But when I try to connect to my network I get " network disabled, because the connection is to slow" what else can I do to fix this. I actually called at&t and I did a master reset. So I connected to Starbucks wifi after. Which previously I wasn't able to before doing the master reset. But when I got here to my house. It wouldn't connect it keeps giving me this error. What can I do ?

If you disable this, it will stop prompting you about that and will also stay connected to not so great WiFi (if you have crappy WiFi).
It's actually been solved..I've posted this on a few other topics. Unless you were looking for something else?

Unable to beam webpages via NFC after update.

Is there anyone that else having issues beaming apps or webpages to other devices via NFC after updating to 4.4.2? I get a transfer error message that says unable to transfer URL via NFC. Sprint and HTC have both said they haven't heard of any known issues... Until I updated the store demo HTC one and showed the repair technician. I guess I'm trying to find out if these are isolated incidents or something that will be a known issue.

It worked on 4.3. On the store demo phone, we had tested it to make sure it worked before the update and verified that it stopped working after. The Sprint tech said he had submitted a trouble ticket. I also reported it to HTC and they are "going to call" me back in 3-5 days. Just curious as to how long before they fix it.

I'll let you know when mine gets fixed as well. Also, do you have any problems with audio in Skype? Just noticed I can't hear anyone since the update, but they can hear me... weird
I tested Skype. Seems ok to me. Then again I had uninstalled it and reinstalled it for something else prior to you saying something about it. Another thing I noticed with this update is that the 4G icon will disappear while on a call. I can still use data while on the call. It's just that before it let me know data was available. Now it was making me think that doing both wasn't an option anymore.

Turns out the Skype thing was because of the other device. As far as I can see, this update brought us only bad things. NFC not fully working, battery life sucks compared to 4.3... Only improvements are easy change of SMS default app and some visual improvements. I want my battery life back!
I don't have a Sprint HTC One, but after the upgrade to kit kat, NFC isn't working for me.

Does it give you an error message or just doesn't work? I'm assuming you have the NFC toggle set to on, right? Can you provide any specific details? Like does it make the sound effect at all? Any indication that it is at least trying to work?

Wifi Hotspot issue - Only one connection is allowed when roaming on a GSM network.

Hi guys,
I can't make my wifi hotspot work, keeps on telling me that I can only make one connection while roaming on GSM.
Is there a way to get thru it? I only have 3g at best and im not in the US, not even using sprint but a local network here.
