WiFi direct not working. - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

Hi there.
My wifi direct does not seem to be working. It can pick up other phones but whenever I try to send anything it instantly tells me it failed. Also I can only send through File Commander Eifi Direct and Office Suite WiFi Direct. Is there no stock WiFi direct sharing settings. I'm using the E2303.
Thanks for any help.

[Q] Using WIFI direct on SGS2 ...

Does anyone know how to work the wifi direct feature on the SGS2?
what can you use it for, and can it be used with a computer also?
I tried turning it ON on my SGS2, but nothing happens. It seems to turn off my wifi connection.
thanks
Guess no one is using this feature!

Wifi Direct only between certified devices
Hi there,
I could test the Wifi Direct feature between two SGS2 and the transfer speed was astonishing. Way way better than Bluetooth 3.
Here http://thehandheldblog.com/2011/06/20/wifi-direct-galaxy-s2/
You can see a demo transfering a 5Mb file in under a second.
I did a 110Mb video in less than a minute
Even though the Wifi Direct spec (Wikipedia) states that theoretically you can connect one Wifi-Direct enabled device with another (just Wifi) device, I failed my attempt to make it work.
Anybody managed to connect SGS2 to laptop? (Using Wifi Direct...)
Cheers!
PD: I have just read that SGS (i9000) was the first device to be WIfi Direct Certified. However in my old one, I never found a Wifi-Direct software menu!

[Q]WiFi conects but there is no internet

Hello guys,
As you can see from the thread's title my phone can conect to any WiFi router(in WiFi menu it says it's conected) but Market doesn't work and my browser(Dolphin and stock browser too) says that "Tha page is unavailable". I also tried other internet using applications, none of them works.
But they all work when I enable 3G. So the problem is only with WiFi.
I'm on mik's CM7 v6.5.7 with franco,Kernel 19.4.
I did a data wipe, then reflashed all the stuff and the problem didn't solve. I also tried fserve's gbs v15 kernel.
Any ideas? I am sorry if this is a NOOb question, I've benn searching the answer for three days and didn't find anything...
EDIT: The problem is not the router. I tried to conect to the internet at severeal places: resataurants, caffes and public hotspot and none of the internet using apps does work.
Dumb questions first.
Can anything else connect to the internet through the router? ie is the router connected to the internet?
Can you access files on a server attached to the router, using an app like ES File Explorer?
Pfff....
The problem is not the router. I tried to conect to the internet at severeal places: resataurants, caffes and public hotspot and none of the internet using apps does work.
Password needed to connect probably or something like that. Or, the device connect to the router, but it got have permission from the router owner to use bandwidth.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
All the WiFI networks were OPEN, so none of them needed password. And my phone says that it's conected(the wifi icon on the statusbar shows this too) . Do you think that in a restaurant you aren't allowed by the router owner to use the WiFi network's bandwidth? That would be really funny.
Slightly less dumb question next
Have you tried using something like Wifi Connect to log onto the wifi, so that you can access the wider internet? My phone shows lots of "open" wifi downtown, but I still need to connect (log in) to use them.
I must admit, I'm a NOOB...
I didn't try that, I don't even know what it is.I think there is a misunderstanding. I don't have a router at home, I only tried at public hotspots and some restaurants, so I wasn't able to se or customize the routers.
EDIT: Oh, I know what you are talking about.
There wasn't any site on which was written I should log in to ise that network. It should have worked without that.
Wifi Connect is an app - download from the market and see if it helps you out
OK, I will try it tomorrow, since now I'm not able to do it. Thank you in advance.

Question with WiFi hotspot

hi, I have a weird question. I currently have ATT DSL service at home. I am curious is there anyway that I can use my existing free WiFi account from my DSL with my phone or tablets?
thanks
Do you mean connect to your home wifi with your phone?
That's easy, just turn on wifi in Settings and connect to your home network.
oh no, what i mean is if I am on the go, I will e able to get WiFi access on these mobile hotspots using my existing DSL account. I konw that with ATT DSL, they provide us free WiFi access on our laptops. I am curious if that can also be used on my mobile device like phone and tablets.
The reaons I ask is because I do not currently have any data plan on my phone so I cannot use any of the phone's hotspot feature. So I am thinking if I can just use DSL accoutn for WiFi so I can still access the net via my phone or tablet as oppose to laptops.
I think I know what you mean now.
If you sign in through the browser on a laptop then you can probably do the same thing with your phone browser.
If they try to block mobile devices you might have to use desktop mode in your browser.

thank you for the reply. Mmh, I do not think that it works as it will not display the log in screen. I will try the desktop version to see if it works.
anyone has tries this?
When I connect to a wifi network that requires web page login, as soon as I connect, it tells me I have to login and you can tap it and it will take you to the web page.

Help connecting to laptop via Wifi Direct

Hi,
I am trying to transfer files to and from my lappy using Wifi Direct, and don't know how.
I'm using a Dell XPS with Intel MyWifi direct. If I scan for Wifi direct devices from the phone, it turns up nothing.
I can share internet from my laptop to the phone no problem (using normal Wifi on the phone).
Can someone help me to set up file transfer using wifi direct? Thanks will be given.. :good:

I have done a similar thing but using the Samba file sharing app. Look in the Playstore.

Thanks, I'll definitely try that.
But shouldn't it be possible without another app?
At least pairing and receiving?

BUMP!
Hasn't anyone used the Wifi Direct on this phone??
If tou had searched a bit b4 posting, youd would have found out, that wifi direct is not working on all wifi adapters on your pc.
that being said, samba fileshare is a good alternative, or use droobox.

You could also try Airdroid, it's a cracking little app.

Use Connectify and create a AP-Hotspot (which creates "real" Wifi network, not Ad-hoc)
It is however not compatible with some (usually cheap low-cost) Wifi adapters/cards/USB-Sticks and requires Windows 7.

hello. I am trying hard to share files using WIfi direct(galaxy note 10.1 under german JB), to an Asus Laptop (intel MyWifi dashboard installed).
I can use the Wifi as Hotspot, but not in Sharing Files.
Struggling, installing drivers, many options..still not possible. I have the same problem. recognising, but refusing to connect each other.
REmoving firewall or adding exceptions, it seems it's a problem of security controls.
IF SOMEONE could help us.
NB : sharing files from any samsung to each others works prefectly well (tab to note, or note galaxy S...)
thanks for reply.

wifi direct
i know wifi direct can use between android. these dont use ure home network or router (now is using this method).
means transfer files from andriod phone to other android phone.
and its preety blazing fast compared to bluetooth (eg; u can transfer hd video in very short time).
the main point is fast transfer speed.... and on the go.
i'm also curious about same technic for a laptop.
means transfer files from andriod phone to laptop, like wise. or laptop to laptop.
it said the technology also have in laptop, but i also cant find the solution.
maybe we still have to wait for anothe year or +.
:laugh:
Do you use non stock roms like asop?
If so wifi direct will not work.

I dont think google allows sharing apk over bluetooth , better use superbeam , Software data cable , or ES file explorer lan share(after connecting to same network)
