Hi guys,
I have been using Android OS for not much time now but just around past 2 years.
Prior to shifting to Xperia TX (the much-hyped Bond series phone), I had been a Samsung customer and had S II before.
What I have noted is that Xperia TX does have Wi-fi Direct feature but does not work as expected.
It was butter smooth for me to share files on S II through wifi Direct but that seems to not work on my Xperia.
I have tried all methods to use it but in vain. When I turn on the wifi Direct, it does connect to my S II but does not move ahead. In addition, there is no option on TX to share via Wifi Direct.
I am left to use third party apps to use normal Wifi hotspot feature.
Can anyone please help me with how to use wifi direct feature on Xperia TX?
(P.S. I know that Android beam does not help in Wifi Direct. It is specifically dedicated for NFC. Galaxy S II does not have NFC feature. Please help me in knowing how can I use just WIFI Direct for sharing files much has music and videos)
Thanks!!!

Hello
Does anyone in here has both the xperia z and the fitbit flex , if yes then does your band gets synced to your phone without any trouble ? or does it get sync at all ?
I am opening a seperate thread for this as on their support website they say only samsung and iphone devices but they also do say that it supports BT4 .
since xperia z also does have BT4 i was wondering if it does sync at all.
any help will be appreciated .
thanks in advance.
I have a FitBit Flex. You can 'see' the Flex from the Xperia Z, but it can't pair nor sync. Hopefully 4.3 will bring us closer, but I think there would need to be an update to FitBit as well.
I've tested the pabx 4.3 AOSP build but this doesn't even 'see' the Flex, so I don't think that is a solution either.
I believe 4.3 brings the Bluetooth Low Energy code that FitBit use. Fingers crossed.

I'm waiting form my FitbitFlex to be deliverd and I'm very sad that it doesn't sync with XZ
Hi All, I've updated yesterday my Xperia Z with the last official Android 4.3 ROM from Sony.
I still see the FitBit Flex... but still can't synchronize it, sadly. .
UPDATE: After looking at the FitBit Site, there is a "Beta" Version of the application, see at the end of this page: https://help.fitbit.com/customer/portal/articles/987861-android-device-compatibility"]https://help.fitbit.com/customer/portal/articles/987861-android-device-compatibility (sorry, I'm not allowed to post external link )
I've installed it and it seems that the application is now able to communicate with the Flex. I'll make more test tomorrow, outside of my home to be really sure .
I have a rooted Xperia Z running 4.3 with active Xposed Framework and the installled Flexbit sync module. The Flexbit can be seen and will sync in bluetooth settings, and on the latest app too. (Though you should turn off the auto sync in the Flexbit app setttings which is an awful battery drain, apparently). Without 4.3 PLUS root and theactivated Xposed Framework with the special Xposed module, sync wouldn't work as this "workaround" was required. I'm sure there is a thread on XDA for the module. NB even if rooted there is only one version of Xposed Framework that works with Xperia Z, 2.4.1. I believe. :
EDIT: this was the position before the beta app which I haven't tried, and which hopefully works with unrooted (normal stock) phones. See the post above.
I have the Flexbit Charge and since buying it have now found out that the android lollipop means the device won't connect via bluetooth no longer due to the update
I recently acquired an S6A and I seem to have trouble reading NFC tags (ISO 15693), when I put it to the back of the phone no matter what position, it cannot read the tag. However, it does sometimes read the tag if I keep tapping the tag on the back of the phone or slide it around. Does anybody else have experience or possible answers to why this is an issue? It's not a faulty phone as it is brand new and it happens to another GS6A as well. Galaxy S5 with an Otterbox, reads it instantly. The only difference I've noticed is the Android version on the phones are different.
S5: 5.0
S6A: 5.0.2
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try updating the software to 5.1.1, it may help. I haven't had issues reading NFC tags with a supcase case, but I don't really use NFC much either.
Hi all!
I am experiencing this problem... described here https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/Bluetooth-dropping-during-phone-calls/td-p/1297055
with my SONY Xperia XZ1 Compact on a stock rom (all updates installed) even after reset to factory settings.
It is blamed by Android users on latest Android updates, does not matter what brand of phone or what brand of Bluetooth equipped headset (mine is Bose).
I am seeking for a stable and secure unofficial ROM for my XZ1C following your recommendations that will resolve this issue. I do hope you have some for me?
I don't know why if I switch on the Nfc it doesn't stay on and it doesn't start.
Ever heard of this problem before?
I run a stock android 9 and don't have any other problems with the phone.
