Wifi direct, need help - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I wanted to share some large files with a friend but I can't seen to find the option for sending via wifi direct.. He's using a galaxy tab 2 and the option is there on the tab.. I also tried receiving a file after enabling the wifi direct option and connecting both devices.. A guide would be much helpful..

Your question is a bit confusing.. Are you trying to tether (send internet from your phone to your pc)? If so, look for WiFi tethering.
Also not sure of the question but I'll take a crack at it. If you're running a tether, make sure your network allows it or you are rooted with an app that supports it.
If you're running a hotspot off of your computer, make sure it is up and running and broadcasting the ssid

talking about wi-fi direct alternatives, i would like to ask here for more wi-fi direct alternatives as i am on PA, also should the other person also have same app to be able to transfer through that app? or is that i can use this app and other person can still receive it via wi-fi direct?
Yes, the other person has to have this app installed.
But trust me it's worth of it.
The app works like this: receiver makes an WiFi access point (app does that automatically) and the other phone just connects.
Some other apps :
WiFi file sender
Hoccer (maybe spelled wrong)
Bump.
But as far anyshare is the best
Try it

Nah, I don't think so. Only original wifi direct can connect. I haven't seen any other app to send via WIFI direct.
Just send Your friend (or whoever You want to send files) anyshare and You're ready to go.
While I'm sending from my note to sgs2 the transfer is ~1.3MB/s and it's much easier in use. Wifi direct sometimes has problems with connecting, custom ROMs don't support it well. That's why I have used WIFI direct like 6 times in my life.
Just give it a try
Never knew of these apps...do they work on other phones as well? Thanks ! Will give them a try :thumbup::beer:

Wifi direct is not enabled - from HTC support

I asked how to use wifi direct. Here's their response:
" I understand your concern on the WiFi direct file transfer and the icons on the status bar. Currently the Wi-Fi direct function is not available, but will be enabled in a future upgrade. Until the update is available, you are still able to share files using Bluetooth."

Have it, used it, discovered that it won't work without a network connection - you know, wifi direct.

I've been able to use Superbeam without a WiFi connection, but it was a bit slower. Just answer "no" to the question about being on the same WiFi network.
