Same here. This morning I tried to setup Wifi-Direct on GN but was a no go. My SGS2 has Wifi direct configuration where you can name your device and setup password etc plus scan for other devices. GN however doesn't have anything like this and you can only turn it ON or OFF. SGS2 scanned for 2 mins and wasn't able to see GN.
Do I need any applications or is there something that myself and OP is missing?
I tried this this morning with a coworker who has a GN too but couldn't figure it out. I also tried the beam thing which says you can just magically hold them back to back and it works? Are there apps that need to be installed to get these things working?
Anyone have any links to literature on beam and wifi direct?
Bump.
This thing does seem odd enough to be worthy of some bumping.

what is wifi direct?

It's a new technology that should allow compatible devices to connect to each other over wifi to transfer files without an access point. Pretty much an ad hoc type network.
I would assume we should be able to use it to connect to other GN but it MAY just be OS support and we need an actual application to make it work?
Bump. This is incredibly annoying.

Beam works fine. Try opening a homepage, and it will ask to transmit when touching another Nexus
Sendt fra min Galaxy Nexus
Seems like maybe they have only baked the API into the OS, but we need devs to create apps that make it useful, based on the Platform Highlights for 4.0 and the Demo app they released. Bummer. Some patient waiting to do, I guess.
I've searched the market for a "wifi-direct" app but there doesn't seem to be one.
Anyone else found anything?
Apparently not a very popular option among people out there.
bump. ytd nite trying to transfer all the songs and ringtones from my GalNote to GalNex using wifi direct, then dunno how to proceed cz totally cant find any settings or configuration in GalNex. enabled both wifi direct, den GalNote can detact my GalNex but failed to connect :X
Bump. My brother has sgs2 and I looked dumb trying to try wifi direct....nothing happens. No options besides on/off

Me too, I tried setup my gn wifi direct, but it w/o any setting, then i use my bro s2 to search my gn mobile, s2 search the name called android xxx, i think this is my mobile, bcs when i off my gn wifi direct, s2 cant search any mobile, when i tried connect my gn mobile, but finally after i wait over 2 mins it still not success.
I think we can conclude if you need to check with forums on the internet and still haven't started transmitting anything two weeks later, it's not a very "direct" sort of technology.
So people at the office have Wifi-direct and I have Android beam. And neither works with each other.
This is Android-awesomeness right now.
Anyone found out how it works? sorry for the bump but good be very useable...
I haven't tried this but it is at least a suggestion. Try opening the gallery, opening a picture and then hitting the share button. Maybe there is an option in there for wi-fi direct?
EDIT: Nevermind. Looks like I mis-understood what this feature was.
Check out this to see if it helps?
http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/WiFiDirectDemo/index.html
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/wifi/p2p/package-summary.html
"remember that the feature is supported only on Android 4.0 (API level 14) and higher versions of the platform. " So looks like you have to connect to another device running ICS
wifi is there but not functional yet
guys in galaxy nexus the capability to use WIFI direct is there but not programmed and left to be added as an add on or so .. developers need to make a program or even a rom to enable this feature but most likely google will adapt the samsung software for wifi direct just like SGSII ..
hope someone just develop it soon
Yep it's purely an api for developers to use in order to connect to the same app(or another one with an official api) running on another device.
Google may very well add this into the gallery and so on, but for now it's a developer option. The implementation on the sgs2 on the other hand does not allow for developers to add in AFAIK and it's purely for use in the samsung apps.
I compiled and installed that WifiDirectDemo app and it doesn't really work. The GN and SGS2 see each other but the connection does nothing.
Does anyone know of any WORKING apps to control the Galaxy Nexus from your PC over 3G or even WiFi but not same network? I mostly need to be able to interact with the screen and type.
I tried:
droid VNC server - doesn't even start on my GNex
lazydroid web desktop - starts but the address is messed up (uses IPv6) and doesn't work
webkey (if this were working, it would be what I needed) - starts and some features work (seeing contacts for example) but most features don't: can't see phone screen, typing sends wrong characters to phone, gps and network location unavailable, etc.
If anyone has any ideas or knows something that works, please do share!
PS: i know there might be other topics asking this but I couldn't find anything fully relevant to my needs.
Thank you!
Airdroid. File transfers are slow but most everything else works fine. There is some delay as well but they did a good job implementing a desktop feel for controlling your phone.

Thanx,
I already use AirDroid and yes, it is nice but it has 2 things missing which I really would like:
1. see the actual phone "desktop" - its screen - and interact with it (scroll, start, stop apps, etc)
2. only works over WiFi
Other than that, it is a very nice phone management tool
have you guys tried android web control??
it looks to use the phone interface. i havent had a chance to try it yet.
do you mean https://market.android.com/details?id=genux.android.webcontrol?
if so, then it doesn't use the phone interface. it's just another "normal" web-based platform to send/receive SMS and see your contacts.
I'm also missing this kind of remote control app. Nothing is working. :-(
LazyDroid does work just fine, but you have to go into your wifi settings and get the IPv4 address and enter that in with the port number.
To get your IP:
Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Menu -> Advanced
- OR -
Settings -> Wi-Fi -> tap the network to which you are connected
***Looks like LazyDroid updated today or yesterday and now shows the IPv4 address right on the app instead of IPv6
Remote Web Desktop, its on the market.
Very good and featurerich app.

Up until now it is one of the best but I still can't get the remote control function to work. I installed the additional program on my phone but when I try to use the function all I get is a black screen...

remote to android ICS Galaxy Nexus
After reading thisa thread I tried both LazyDroid and Remote Web Control and they both worked fine over wifi. Both apps are available through Android Market.
In fact the two apps look almost exactly the same. Both use a browser to access from your PC. Both display the IP address and port to use when you start your browser. Pretty simple. Real remote view requires root.
I am on a Galaxy Nexus running ICS.
I think the OP's point has been missed.
He is looking for a remote control app, that can function without wifi. I too am looking for an app such as this, as I use my phone to tether to my pc, and it acts as my internet connection, hence I cannot be on the same wifi network on my pc!
If anyone has found, or made, an app that can do this I would greatly appreciate it!
There is a free app on the market called webkey that does exactly that.

Says it has "far from perfect" ics support now, still better than none at all though I suppose. Will give this a try later as this is something I'm looking for too.

I did try it. It shows the screen at least and you almost can move through the homescreens but it freezes the phone to the point where you have to remove the battery to restart it. Most other options work though.
Waiting for it to get better

Why don't you contact the dev? I had an issue on my G2X where I had to constantly refresh the screen in order to see it. I sent him an email and almost immediately he got back to me and helped me fix it right then and there. He's a cool Guy.

Works on Many Samsung TouchWiz based ROMs. Confirmed Working on Galaxy S2, S3, Tab 10.1
For some reason, beyond my comprehension, Samsung have this great app, but have yet to open it up to the SGS3. I have been resorting to downloading it and installing it on my HTC HD2 (Running CM9) backing it up with Titanium, and then copying the backup over to my SGS3, and restoring the backup. A bit round about, but works.
The App, for those that don't know, allows you, with a Samsung high-end TV or BR-Player, use the app to not only as a remote, but as a second mirrored screen, with audio. Great for trips to the kitchen, bathroom, outside, or in another room (although range is limited by your router).
[Supported TV Models]
- Samsung Smart TV released in 2011:
Models greater or equal to LED 7000, PDP 8000
- Samsung Smart TV released in 2012:
Models greater or equal to LED ES7500,(Models greater or equal to LED ES7000 in Europe, Models greater or equal to PDP E8000 Models(E7000 Models in North America)
[Supported Phone]
While technically only SGS2, it works with SGS3 stock rooted rom, but should work on most with a stock base. It will not work on CM9/10 and ASOP ROM's but you could give it a try and let me know.
Here is the actual app, I extracted it from my Titanium backup figuring someone could use it until Samsung get around to updating the Market to let you just download it. The only thing I can't get to work is Bluetooth power on. I can pair with my TV, but it just doesn't show up until I have turned it on. I also had an issue with it working over the the 5Ghz 802.11n band, but with 3.1.9 that doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.
Version 3.1.9 - 39MB - Confirmed Working for me with 2011 PDP51D8000 Model
Version 3.2.0 - 40MB - Also Confirmed working
Older Version 3.1.7 for those of you with issues
The Full description from Google Play:
[About the Application]
This application is Wi-Fi remote control for Samsung Smart TV. If both your phone and TV are connected to the same wireless Router, your phone will link to the TV automatically where you can use your phone like a remote control. The TV can also transfer live feeds to your phone.
[Main Features]
- Dual View

You can use your mobile device to turn on your TV using Bluetooth (available for certain TV and mobile devices only).
- Remote
Your mobile device can work as remote for your Samsung TV or BD products. Full remote screen is provided by default, and three tabs are provided at the bottom of the screen to help you control connected devices with ease. On screen keyboard shows up automatically when you need to enter text.
- Game Controller
With this feature, your mobile device can control games on TV. Full and Simple modes are available. Turn on Gyro function on your mobile device, and control games by tilting your mobile device.
- Movie Note (Models BD-E5900 or above, HTE4000or above (US only))
You can get information of DVD/BD title on your mobile, while you watching movies.
Ratings, synopsis, cast and director's information will be provided.

Recording TV shows through your TV when you're outside.
- Settings
You can fine-tune control for TV and BD by adjusting gesture sensitivity in your mobile device.
[How to set up]
1.Check if Wireless Remote Control or Network Remote Control is enabled in your TV’s System or Setup menu. If you don’t see either of them in the menu, Samsung Smart View App can’t be used in your mobile device.
2.Connect wireless/wired router to TV LAN port, or connect Samsung Wireless LAN adapter to TV USB port.
3.Connect your phone to wireless/wired router.
Saving this potentially for a place to list the Rom's it works with. for now it is just:
T-Mobile Stock
T-Mobile Stock-Rooted
That, and isn't that what all the cool posts do

Glad it helped, It just doesn't make sense to not allow the direct download. It clearly works on the SGS3, so it makes no sense. They have also updated the app several times since the SGS3 release 3.17 was the version I first installed. So they are working on the app, just wish they would switch it on for us to access right from market.
P.S. If this app helped you, please hit thanks

You may have to look around your TV menus for the option to turn on networked remotes. I had an issue where I somehow disabled my phone and could not get it to connect. Also are you using a 2.4ghz or 5ghz router, if using one, try the other. Finally check your router settings, to see if there is something there preventing connectivity.

Unfortunately, all this has already been verified. Consider that already use a Samsung Galaxy SII and it works great, therefore the router is fine. Among the other with the 'SIII the program works, but also sees the TV when the connection is disconnected after a few seconds by sending an error message that says: "the first use to connect to the internet" .... ideas?

I am not exactly sure what you are seeing. Are you using a stock rom? If you see the TV in the list, but Dual View is not working, then it isn't seeing your phone as supported for Dual View. This could be a build.prop issue, or a necessary file is missing. If it isn't seeing your TV, then there is a connection issue. This is what I had with 802.11n 5Ghz. When on 5Ghz, I couldn't see my TV, back to 2.4Ghz and all was fine. I thought this issue resolved on 3.19.
You may try resetting your router, trying it insecure to see if you can get it to work, but I guess it can be a bit flakey for some. There is nothing inherent in the application, that I know of, that should prevent it from working on the SGS3, unless the ROM you are using is modified. In that case, make a Nandroid backup, install a stock (Rooted if you like) ROm and test again, if it works, it is your ROM, if it doesn't, it is your network.

As I wrote in my previous post using a stock ROM no brand ITA and my Galaxy SIII is not rooted. As for the router I do not think the problem here as with my Galaxy SII ICS 4.0.3 works perfectly! The Galaxy SIII see TV but while trying to connect it disconnects giving me this error: "connect for the first time you need to connect to the internet". Help me please!

From the router side I would agree, if you see the tv in the app, router is fine. The only thing I can think of is if this is an ITALIAN version issue. I know that when upgrading to ICS some stock ROMs for the SGS2 stopped working. I think this may be the case and something in the localization is causing the connection issue.
In your case maybe try to port the app over from your sgs2 as it could also contain something specific. You can use my method from the first post. Otherwise I am afraid you may need another rom but that's also going to depend on what ROMs it runs on. I only know it works on US T-Mobile but with close to 300 downloads yours is the first time I have seen it not work so there is hopefully a stock based ROM for you with enough not removed to let this app work.
Sorry it isn't better news. As a last resort, you could try to factory reset, install only this app. That way you can ensure no other app is interfering.
Good luck, let me know how it works out.

Might I add this app was working previously with the un55c7000 and HTC evo 3d, and evo 4g. Previously working on SGSII before ICS update now flashes black in the same fashion as the SIII. All previous models were able to download from play store however none supported the dual view.

I know.. I have the 55" Cinema 3D LED and I'm kind of pissy that you have to have an LG phone to do this
This is my Orignal post:
I do have a slight problem that I have not been able to find a solution for. When I am at work I have wifi calling on all the time because I don't get good cell reception. We have hundreds of access points all of them overlay one another so students don't loose Wireless connection. When I move around and switch from one access point to another the wifi calling just stops or tries to connect to the access point it originally connected to. Now I find this odd because I have set these access points up like I explain above so they overlay just so this would not happen. Now when I was on Stock ICS non rooted the Wifi calling didn't drop at all. I doubt you can test this but I am hoping you can point me in the right direction on how to resolve this issue.
A person wrote back to me and said this
(My guess is that it has something to do with how the rom polls for new access points. Polling may be set low to reduce battery consumption and causing problems for you because of it)
Which makes sense I am wondering if there is a easy tool or a app to check this out
I can't even get WiFi calling to be stable on ONE access point....

This has seem to of solved the issue. I also did a fresh flash of everything over the weekend so idk if that also paid a roll in it but it is working now and I just wanted to say thanks.
On my note 3 this works fine for me, on the G4 Anyconnect ICS+does not allow me to click OK (only cancel), so while I should be able to use the app (password is accepted ...), I'm unable to access the office, which makes the phone far less useful. Anyone know of anything special required on the G4 to allow VPN connections; it is as if the Android (which is responsible for the prompt as I understand it), is blocking the OK button. This all worked fine on my previous phone, so I'm assuming it is a G4 issue, maybe some setting I'm unaware of?
Thanks,
ERIC
