[Q] About Wifi Direct

Hey guys, just want to make sure that our device's OS isn't have a bug.
This is about activated Wifi Direct..
This is the screenshot of Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
View attachment 1916137
nah, if you look at that screenshot, there's an ongoing notification that shows that device is connected to other device via wifi direct.
You guys will think this question is ridiculous, but I want to know. This is mainly just about Wifi Direct notification.
so my question is:
1. is there this feature in our device? or, is it lost or removed? There's only an icon on the notification bar.
2. sometimes my wifi direct can't connect to each other. Why?
3. Do you guys have it?
It's important to me because I used it every time. And that is annoying, we must get to wifi setting to disable it.
Thanks for your respond.

Yes there is a feature present. Wifi direct is located in Settings > WiFi > WiFi Direct
It works fine for me. For most stable connection first pair and then send/recieve

Paid apps do not work (because of licencing issues - no play store/internet connection). We need a plugin to interact with phone side of things or dedicated gear app to apply to the watch itself

Couldn't one just backup the paid app with something like jrummy app manager, then side load the paid apk with wonders have??

Yep, just updating you with status. We'll see what next null rom brings featurewise as it should have native Bluetooth internet
All we need is an app that will send an intent to Tasker over Bluetooth like pebble tasker or pebble glance. It's the Bluetooth communication holding us up. (plus I for one have no idea how to code for android let alone use intents)

What I have found is that some paid apps will work. As an example Busybox Pro, works without a hitch. Same pull/install process as any other apk, until you run across an app that phones home for activation or validation. In the case of Flit keyboard as an example when I contacted them directly about the inability to activate they sent me a pre-activated apk. So it might be worth a shot to email the dev and explain what you are trying to do and they may be cool with figuring out a work around if it means selling more of their apps to the people in the community.

However, watch is just a Bluetooth headset, so if we could get it working as such, may be possible?

you could try to flash this rom it won't erase anything you have done thus far if you follow the directions, it has a working bluetooth tether that will grant internet functionality to most of your apps. just don't forget to thank the rome developer,

I have pdanet installed infact browser, Pulse etc. work but Flipboard doesn't work as i said previously.

Ive been cracking my skull trying to figure out where to download the lates null rom for the gear and i can see it says the thread is closed but how can i get it! i want it, i need the internet on the gear! where ese can i get it from?

im using null rom and have internet working via bluetooth.
I am using the gear with my HTC ONE/
I tried Flipboard-with internet via bluetooth/
the main cover page works-but once your feeds updates-all the content is unreadable
to get internet working you enable bluetooth tethering on your phone (of course)
open nova launcher-the main phone like SETTINGS- (not gear settings)
click on BLUETOOTH
Your phone should be listed-click tiny settings icon
next to that
scroll down to PROFILES
enable checkbox "internet access" use for internet access
note: make sure your are paired first-drove e crazy not even seeing these settings before
next page -checkbox ​

Autoremote without bluetooth tethering?

Hello,
Is there anyway to get Autoremote to work directly with the Note 3 over bluetooth and not require internet? I'm sure I"m missing something? thanks.

You need internet first to register device in autoremote
After that, you only need standard Bluetooth connection to send commands

@Brendo my bluetooth autoremote seems to work fine.
However if I try to send a notification (not a quick message) via bluetooth it doesn't seem to get received on the gear
Please try and let me know if you can send and receive a NOTIFICATION thanks

Stock notifications aren't available on the gear. You can get the pull down bar in null rom, but even then I don't think it works with all apps. I've not tested though. If you mean the notifications like standard way that gear manager sends notifications, we really need an sdk to work out how to utilize that (there are workarounds where some apps used existing channels)

No, perhaps you misunderstood,
if you go into the autoremote app and select "devices" then there is a small envelope on the right as well as a triangle - these are used to send quick messages and notifications ( by autoremote app )
I can send the message, but not the notification by bluetooth..... however notificatio does work fine by wifi and it gets received by the gear no problem

I understand now. I had a look sending notification via plugin in tasker - which is the same, but didn't realise how notification was sent. Sounds like message uses direct Bluetooth where as notification routes through wifi. Sounds like you'll need to check with dev (may be a bug or unfinished since Bluetooth is recent addition to app?)

I ve got the same problème when i has was in theter i Can send command but without theter the command don t work.
Can you help me?

Thank you. I thought I was the only one not able to get this working. I've trying for a week now and everything I found made me feel like I was doing something wrong.
The one thing I've noticed is that when you click and hold the device, and the menu comes up, when I select "connect Bluetooth device, it will say it is connected. But, right after that, it says "not a valid QR code". So I've been wondering if that has anything to do with it.
Anybody else seen this?

Ok, regarding the tasker task, does this need to be included in every task? What I mean is, I've already got some autoremote tasks that work when tethered. I want to be able to use them via BT when I'm not on Wifi (that's the only way my tether works).

I've done this and it still doesn't work. Still getting "retrying 1/5" etc. I'm starting to think I must have some other BT connection issue because I've been trying to get the BT GPS sharing working again. It worked a few null roms back but seems to be broken now. I've searched all over the phone and the gear but can't find anything that would be blocking certain BT functions. Everything else works between the phone and the gear (notifications, weather, mini gallery, pedometer backup).

I assume you have done the below, but repeating it for others too....
In Autoremote, on the devices tab, click on the bluetooth icon of each paired autoremote device to switch ON, and turn wifi off ( assume you have already long pressed and "add as Bluetooth device )
If ON, the icon is blue, if off grey

Yep, tried it multiple ways. Like I said, I think I've got some other connection issue. I even tried the Smart Remote app from the gear store and haven't ever been able to get it to connect either. At first I thought it was due to the null rom but others have said it works for them.
I just have no idea what would allow "selective" connections.
Edit: I just noticed that on the phone, in tasker, it shows as an active profile but in the gear it does not. I even set up a generic profile just to pop up a notification. If I test the action it works but the profile still shows as inactive and in the notification panel it still shows "no active profiles" yet all other functions continue to work. Can someone confirm if this is the same on their gear?

I had the same, initially, it took some time on the Gera with Tasker.
Try switch profile off, then on, save reboot, reconnect and have patience.
Instead of connecting to a "named" connection, leave that bank and choose the optional "bluetooth address" in taker profile state

Connection Lost
I use autoremote on the gear over bluetooth and it work well with my note 3.
I have tasker which enable bluetooth in gear and note 3 when they connect them in bluetooth.
It work great until the watch goes in deep sleep. At this time the connection is broken until I reboot. I try to enable persistent notification on the gear when tasker enable autoremote bluetooth (to prevent the service to be killed) but at this time I have another problem, the gear and the phone are not able to go in deep sleep so I have a big battery drain.
If someone have ideas to help I'll be very glad.

I rebooted both phone and gear and the first try was successful. Next attempt back to trying. One thing I noticed was that upon restart both taskers showed the Bluetooth profile as active. After the first test the tasker on my phone now shows inactive. Prior to restart it was the gear that showed inactive.
Either way, this is progress. Now to find out why they aren't staying active.

After series of reboots in various orders, this is finally working. Now that it is, I can even say it's much faster than while tethered.
Now I can't wait to get my home automation setup and working. To control it all from the watch is going to be awesome.
Thanks everybody for your support and ideas.

There is a tasker plugin by the same developer called AutoCast. Maybe it will help you.
I don't do any of this, so obviously I don't have any personal experience to offer. You might try on the tasker Google groups forum.

was a great idea, sadly this app (beta state) only supports google devices, no miracast device, but that function would have been the winner, thanks again

Probably a part of the problem is that Google removed miracast support from "stock" android awhile ago. That dates back to the nexus 6 days.

contacted the developer of the autocast plugin and he confirmed, only works with google cast devices like i (sadly) expected.
thanks anyway for the hint.

That's always working to automate the tap(s) required. You could use Tasker to open the app, AutoInput UI query to determine when it's open, then an AutoInput action to enable the device connection.

probably yes, but thats now too much read and trial and error for now, thanks.
