All,
Is Wifi Direct the equivalent to S beam on the S3/S4? If so, how do I use it? I tried playing with it along wiht a coworker who also has a HTC One, and can't figure it out.
Thanks for any advise!

For sharing files through wifi direct in HTC is not working. But it does in Samsung.
Superbeam is better for that..
In mine even Superbeam was not working.. Later after rooting, it works fine..
From the threads I gone through, even HTC care says to find a good app for wifi direct..

Maybe someone can help me. Clean flashed to ARHD 10.1 a week ago and am having an issue with constantly dropping my data connections. My phone is pretty much constantly going from LTE to 4g to no data connection when not on WiFi. I'm on AT&T. Anything I can do? I'm not a pro at anything beyond basic Rom flashing. Thinking of just going back to stock. Thanks for any help!

I had this happen before. I turned off my HTC One, used the SIM tool, removed the SIM and reinserted the SIM and it fixed my data issues. Maybe that'll work. Hope that helps.
Edit: I did this to fix a data connectivity issue on my HTC One when I flashed an RUU.

Thanks. I gave this a try and am still having the issue. WiFi works fine, though. Maybe I'll just try another Rom.

I just flashed the newest version of ARHD (that's android revolution HD, for the person who asked) 10.2 and don't seem to be having the issue anymore. I'm not sure if it had something to do with only being able to select the international version during Aroma install on 10.1, or what was going on. Might have also been a combination of things. At any rate, i figured I'd post in here, as I'm trying to get my post count up, so I can post in forums actually dedicated to the Roms. Cheers, everyone! :good:
ha! I'm doing the same thing. This is what I get for getting an iPhone. Glad you got it squared away.

Haha I also came from iPhone to the HTC One. I'm seeing a lot of former iPhone guys on here. I always said that the day an android phone had the build quality of the iPhone, I was switching. And here I am!
I'm trying to bypass at&t block on tethering apps in order to use my plan with my tablet as well. I rooted my phone, but every app i downloaded appears to be blocked from accessing my phone connection by at&t (they charge separately for that "honor").
Any suggestion?
Thanks

If you want to use stock ROM, there's a WiFi tether fix in the AT&T Development forum.

Both posts found in the AT&T One Development forum. Both on first page and one thread apart. Seems to me like you didn't really bother looking or using the search function. Took me less than two minutes to find the threads and post this reply.
Most others will tell you to search on your own, so you might want to get familiar with using the forum and it's capabilities.

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.

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.

Yes! Here it is but how to transfer data through this?
WiFi Direct connects to other device and now what to do next?
It's been around 2,3 months I'm banging my head trying to find a solution. Already gone through ALL options and almost 7-10 apps on play store. None worked.

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?

I'm having an issue connecting other devices to my hotspot via wireless tether on my HTC One M8. I'm currently on ViperOne 1.3.1 ROM, stock kernel. The devices I try to share my network with (ps3, 360, iPhone, M7) will pair with my phone with no problem but it won't let any device connect to my network. Can someone please help me?
I also have an htc one M7, also ViperOne ROM but have no issues tethering other devices to that device.
have you done this with any other device? as far as i know hotspot is just an internet bridge and doesn't create a lan, basically it treats all devices conected as one... i might be wrong though, but even when i had legal hotspot on my old verizon contract i wouldnt get a lan just Internet
