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.

Nexus 7 as trusted Bluetooth device?

I've been trying to get my nexus 7 to work as a trusted Bluetooth device, but it just isnt working. Anyone know why and anyone tried this?

It has to be an active connection. Another phone or tablet is a passive connection. Smart watches, radios, keyfobs etc work.

I have no issues on my linux laptop and the chrome plugin. (ElementaryOS x64). Have you tried uninstalling the plugin, and re-installing it?

Some kind of firewall issue?
Just to be certain, other devices can detect/use Chromecast on the same network?

Is your computer and your mobile devices on the same subnet? I know in my house all of my desktops/servers are on a different subnet, so the chromecast extension does not work on them.

Yes

Delay is normal especially if transcoding is going on.
As for the Fedora Linux, Try disabling Firewall and see if that works, If it does then you need to open up some ports for Multicast, UPnP and maybe a few others.

Question regarding Chromecast Wi-Fi security

Hi,
I noticed that my Chromecast Wi-Fi icon is not secured I mean it looks open unlike my router Wi-Fi connection.
Does that mean that any of my neighbor could use my Wi-Fi ?

If your Wi-Fi is password protected your fine.

The chromecast wifi network is only used for the initial setup of the device. Once you've given the chromecast your home wifi information it will use that instead. If your home wifi is secure, the chromecast won't change that.

Did you check for a Verizon APN and/or its setting in mobile networks?

The only APN that is available is VZWINTERNET and it is checked.

Okay, but have you checked if the settings are correct? You can always flash the Latest MM radio to see if the issue is gone.

Which settings? I'm not sure what I'm doing. Kinda new to this.

If you press the VZW apn you get into the settings, compare these with the settings as shown on the VZW support page (Google).

I think I got it. Had to change the APN name from VZWINTERNET to TRACFONE.VZWENTP.
