Hello everyone!
I tried to search about it everywhere but couldn't find the solution. I have a AHD phone and want to use its WiFi-Direct feature. I am able to connect it with other device but don't know how to send or receive large files using this feature? Somewhere I read that even AHD does have a WiFi Direct option but its of no use as NFC is no present there.
Just wanted to ask you tech savvy guys how can I use it to send / received large files as even cheap Chinese crap phone has this awesome working function built in.
Thanks a lot!!!
It is mean that you want to send some bing files to other device by using wifi?
I just know that you can send some file via wifi connection with some app
You can't use ahd like gs3 to send some file just put two phone together
Sorry for my Poor English because i am a chinese
Bluetooth?
The AHD has no Near Field Communication. If the files are fairly small like pictures your best bet would probably be to send them via Bluetooth. If they are larger (more than a few megs) you are probably best off using cloud storage (GDrive, Skydrive etc.) to move them.

Hello people!
I've got my Galaxy Tab from US and now i'm really dissapointed, because it is CDMA-version. There is no CDMA-providers in my area.
You could think that it's simplier to sell this device on eBay and buy european, but it's really hard in Russia. Our major postal service is worst, in the best way they will deliver your item in US in a couple of months, but there is big chance to loose it quite.. and there's no responsibility..
So maybe someone knows the way to attach cellphone via bluetooth and use external 3G-internet? I think it's called DUN-client, but i can't find it.
Also i want to know if i can add other languages in Android. I applied 'custom-locale' from Market and set Russian, but the most part of interface (General settings, Calendar, etc) still in English.
Thanks!
I was curious of doing to same. Is there a way to, lets say get a blackberry to share its internet via bluetooth to the tab?
if you have a rooted android phone you can use wireless tether, it supports both BT and WIFI tethering

Hi
Well, I wanted to know how to use wifi direct to send things to my friend. His phone has wifi direct and my black too, but I don't know how to use. I read that I need an app called wifi cast, and I found this app on smartworld. I installed the app, but I don't know what do I have to do.
Thanks
Short: I don't know, but if you want know something about my experiment
After nearly a year with my black I wanted to try this feature. I could connect a Galaxy S2 with my Black. Then I tried to send a file from the S2. Error. I searched for a possibility to send a file from the black over wifi-direct but, there is no button for that.
I assume that LG wants you to use "Smartshare", but afaik that works only with other LG devices.
Hi Swaddy
Thanks for the answer.
My friend has a galaxy note, and some weeks ago I could connect my black to his note, but I didn't send any pic to his phone. But this week, I tried to connect and I couldn't, don't know why. I guess smartshare doesn't send files, but thanks anyway

for now we can use wifi direct for sending pics videos between two optimus black only using wifi cast, i have two OB @ home so i tested it but when i want to send it to my galaxy s2 or my brother's galaxy note it gets connected through wifi direct but wifi cast doesn't show them so its not possible to transfer with other devices except optimus black
The most useful for me is Copying files between OB and PC using WiFi direct. I have read somewhere that the other device doesn't need to have the WiFi direct hardware feature. Everything can be enabled with software... but How?
I use file manager by rhythm software it has LAN capabilities so i can connect to my PC by IP address.
Trolling in the deep
I am totally loss
Can anybody tell me how to use android beam and WiFi direct on o4x? I have tried every permutation and combination to get these working but failed only play store opens and says item not found
Don't understand what you mean.
You find the settings or those are not working? What do you exactly mean?
Maybe this process needs an app and that app is not available in your country .
Maybe .
I mean to say, when ever i am trying to receive the data from other device over nfc i.e. through android beam, i am unable to receive the data and android play store pops up searching for some app and as said earlier that app is not available for my country (may be) due to which a msg pops up which says"App not available" Can anybody help me to get rid of this?
Hi Kanad,
I have tested the NFC and Wifi direct with many phones (apart from LG). When you turn on NFC, go to your gallery open a picture and now place your phone's back(as lg has nfc at its back) to the area of any other NFC enabled phone. When you do so your phone will vibrate and a message will pop on your screen stating Touch to beam. Please note our NFC only transfers photos or some website page. It is not to be confused with Samsung android beam. Our NFC uses bluetooth while Samsung uses wifi.
Coming to wifi direct. We cannot transfer files even though we connect through wifi direct to any Samsung devices. For using wifi direct we need to have a program called wifi cast or fast file transfer.

I'm sorry for asking this stupid question, but is it possible to send or receive large files, like mkv or some sort with wifi direct?
I've tried sending some movies over wifi direct to LG L9 but always failed. I've always thought wifi direct has got the same inner working as bluetooth, is that correct?
Sorry for these silly questions, I'm quite a noob on Android.

The largest file I ever sent via Wifi Direct using Fast File Transfer is an archive file with the size of 276 MB and the transfer was successful. I haven't tried to send anything larger. Also, the transfer was from my friend's Lenovo K860 to my O4X
LG Optimus 4X HD via XDA-Developers App

Hey, yes we can share files more than1 GB. You will require the right program. For Eg. Wifi Cast only supports pictures,etc. So fastfiletransfer can help you in this case.
Was trying to show someone wifi direct the other day and as it turns out it didn't want to work.
Went to album, selected a pic, pressed menu and share, scrolled down and there was no option for wifi direct.
I've also read that you have to pair with the device first.
I even tried an app that I used to use called SuperBeam which also didn't work.
Does anyone have this working?
I was attempting to send files to a Note 3, even android beam didn't work.
I don't use this feature all the time but it'd be nice to have a feature working if it's supposed to.
Cheers.
Superbeam works fine for me. 41mbps+ for large single file transfers

Same here. I was trying to connect via Wi-Fi to my TV Sony. I paired the devices but I never get it work and never displayed any pictures on the TV or even send them via Wi-Fi, I missing the option sending via Wi-Fi too. I don't know, I just give up.

for me it's mixed bag. sometimes it works like a charm, just press Throw, shows available devices, chosing one of them send the file to the output (photo, video, music). and sometimes - like after disconnecting and trying to connect again few minutes later - it doesn't work at all.
The point i'm trying to make is why on earth is it on the device if the device doesn't use it? I can't understand why a company would allow a protocol to be included and then not give the ability to use it?
On the vast majority of phone all you do is pick a file and select share, then choose wifi direct and off it goes, no need to be connected to wifi, infact you wouldn't even need a sim card to do it.
Such a stupid thing to happen and a bit awkward when someone with a sammy device is showing off a feature and even though yours has it it doesn't work lol.
I found myself saying "Ok just download this app" Bit long winded isn't it? I mean click share and click wifi direct job done, what gives ?
1. Am I right that there is no way to make an ethernet connection to it? Google comes up blank. My Galaxy T700 8.4" tablet can do it, using the Samsung adapter cable (2xUSB, ethernet, power) but on the S6 only the 2xUSB works.
2. After writing some files to a flash stick plugged into a USB OTG cable (e.g. the above one) how long is it before the files are finally closed? It is suggested to unmount the USB device (in the stock file manager I assume) but that is so "1990s" Even windows XP doesn't need to do that.
3. Is there any functionality to send/receive SMS when there is no apparent GSM connection, only WIFI? After discarding a few SMS apps (mainly because they had no retries on failed sends - a real issue in UK countryside where we have poor signal) I am now using Smitten SMS which does seem to do retries. But also it has managed to send SMSs when I didn't see any signal! I did a lot of googling and could not find anything apart from cryptic references to Google Voice. I am well aware of the issues in doing texts over the internet (the phone doesn't know its # so CLI cannot work unless you configure that somewhere - the Apple I-message features needs that; no way to route the reply IF it is sent to the GSM network which is why I-message works only between two Iphones and only if both have an internet connection).
THANK YOU in advance for any information.
Great phone, BTW. Here
http://peter-ftp.co.uk/808/S6-v-808/
is a comparison of the S6 with the Nokia 808, and of two S6 camera apps.
My phone is rooted, BTW.
Is there anybody in this forum?
