Wifi access via bluetooth - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an xperia arc and a huawei g7010. What i would like to do is provide wifi access to the huawei via bluetooth. Ive checked the tethering applications already and have been reading up on Google however my finds have yielded that it may not even be possible.
is it possible?

Are you asking this before or after trying?

[Q] Wifi Direct

Hi guys,
Has anyone of you figured out a way on how to use this amazing feature ? Its pretty sweetly implemented in SGS, but the ONE X doesnt have any integrated functionality.
Tried to look for a 3rd party app. Cant seem to find any.
Have you guys been able to use it ?
P.S:
Wi-Fi Direct is a standard that allows Wi-Fi devices to connect to each other with no need for a wireless access point. (transfer files etc)

Any app to access my phone?

I have a sgs2, and for space reasons on the N7 I stored some movies on my phone for a long upcoming trip. Now I'll be deleting stuff as I watch it on my N7, just wondering if there's any possible way I can access another android device wirelessly or something without a network and grab some files off it?
Edit: I think bluetooth may be a viable option but it will be suuuuuuuper slow..?
Another user on here made this app, just can't find the original thread. The links below:

It uses wifi direct, I haven't been able to test it though because my arc doesn't support wifi direct

Miracast or Screen Cast option during Hotspot being active?

Is the above at all possible? I've searched around for various options for what I'm looking to do and all avenues appear to have either been patched or I may possibly be on the wrong firmware.
Phone is a uk 855
Current FW is 4.4.2
The problem that I'm having is Chromecast while using my phone as a hotspot. I'm allowed to cast various apps, netflix, etc and they all work fine but what I can't do is cast the screen. This is very important to me as I'm trying to create a wireless connection in my car (As other users have done with different models).
On any of the google Nexus phones it's simply a matter of going to Settings>Display>Cast Screen. Is there a way of getting the G3 to do the same? A hack? A workaround? If there is, I can't find it so really need some guidance.
The issue I have is that Miracast disables the hotspot rather than using it and Chromecast just refuses to work without Wifi being on (which again would disable my hotspot). I simply want to connect my phone directly to the chromecast with no outside source of Wifi.
Apologies if I've missed anything important. I wasn't sure what information would be required.
Thanks
Updated to 5.0 and I still don't have the same options as the Nexus & Sony versions. Is there perhaps a custom firmware that I could use?
Sorry but I think no
Surprised to find a "No" with Android, a first for me

Solved: Joying - Mirrorlink Stopped Working After Flash

Hey guys, I have searched high and low for a solution to this problem but have come up empty so far. I just got a joying head unit and everything, including the easy connected app, seemed to work without issue. I decided well since I had the headunit running next to my pc that I would flash Malaysk's custom rom before installing it. After that, I reinstalled the app from various sources including the oem app but none of them seem to allow me to connect my same exact devices anymore.
Why is this important for me? I had planned on controlling a tablet in the back seat for my son who is still to young to put on show without trouble. Essentially, this would allow me to never have to reach back there to help him out.
I have read, from joying, that it would no longer work after flashing new firmware but that seemed to not be the case from some things I had read here (please correct me if I am wrong on that). Tried different cables and ports but no luck. I did read that a license might need to be carried over but not sure what that entails as I can find ZERO info on this easy connected app/problem. I hope that this is a very simple fix and that I did not jump the gun again for the chance to flash a new device (its addicting and I blame XDA for my problems...).
I did try and find some other apps that might allow me to do the same thing. RemoDroid seemed promising but didn't function. Most other ones are meant for controlling from a pc or browser and just weren't useful for the task at hand. I am open to solid suggestions. I use all Android devices and avoid the Apple juice. Any insight you guys can offer will help a tired Dad out. Thanks!
Edit: Solved-ish
The easy connect app seems to function now intermittently. Not sure there was a specific thing that I did to fix it. Seems to work when I launch easy connect app right after booting up and nothing else. Messing with other apps seems to cause a problem for my devices. Also, switching between my devices(phone and tablet) may also have been causing a problem, not sure yet. I suppose I'll just keep trying to make it work reliably until I break it again.
On the previous version of the easy connect app, you were able to disable Drive Mode from launching. Not so on the newer version with Android WiFi. If anyone has a solution to that I would appreciate it as the Drive Mode app is useless for my needs.
Note 4 - USB - works great. I have yet to try over wifi
Note 10.1 N8013(lollipop rom) - USB/Wifi - works great (disable smooth mode, remote device screen cannot be turned on with easy connect "Home" button)

I tried several different apk's but they all have similar results and end with a connection failure.
I haven't yet tried going back to stock firmware so that might be worth trying. I installed the headunit in my car so I'm not as willing to keep flashin it as I have to park down the street from my house.
So not sure what magic I used but I was able to get it working for a moment and then it stopped again. USB and Wifi android mirroring were working so I know my current firmware/setup is functional!! Once I got it working I started configuring some other apps and when I went to run it again it wasn't connecting. I guess I'll just keep messing with it until I can figure out what got it working again.
With the newer version of the easy connected app, I can no longer disable launching of drive mode on connect. Is there a way to disable that option with the 1.4 version?
Hi.
Is it possible mirror in wifi with android?
Can you explain the way?

Miracast / Play To / Wifi

So I took the plunge and forked out for an Asus Miracast dongle now that Netflix is finally available where I live.
I had seen several demos and explanations on internet suggesting that you can mirror the screen of any app using the Play To function. That is technically correct, but what I can't understand is that in both of the links below, the video / screen shots clearly show the "Play To" mirro function being connected to a display device AND the phone's Wifi connected at the same time.
I cannot replicate this. Every time I connect the Play To / miracast, my phone gives me a message saying that the Wifi will be disconnected while the Play To connection is active, which effectively means that I have to rely on mobile data through the SIM card to stream the media from Netflix!! Not exactly what I had in mind.
Has anyone actually achieved what the links below suggest is possible?
Is my problem due to the fact that my ZF2 is a 550ML?
Or could it be an issue with the Asus dongle?
I also have several other older Android devices with "Play To" / Screen Mirror functions, and they both behave the same, but I thought that the ZF 2would be capable of handling both connections at once?

Just tried with my Samsung TV and both are connected simultaneously.

Seems to have been a glitch. It was connecting via Wifi, not Wifi direct, but trying again the next day it worked perfectly...
I've got a zenfone 3 x008dc and since the latest update firmware, the "play to" function has disappeared from my quick menu setting and also from cellular networks. i tried searching for it in settings and it comes out blank. I'm not able to mirascreen or miracast on to my tv anymore. can anyone tell me what I have to use now as an alternative or where to find this function?
