You've to wait until first developer support it in their Apps. There's an official API for Wifi direct in Android ICS.

Wifi Direct on the SGS2 (and probably other Samsung phones) is named that way misleadingly. It's their proprietary transfer function making use of Wi-Fi Direct and they decided to call it that way. On the Galaxy Nexus, checking the option enables applications to use the Wi-Fi Direct APIs and that's it.

[Q] Wi-Fi Direct

Hi.
I would like to know how I use Wi-Fi Direct on my One X to transfer files to another One X or an Asus Transformer Prime.
I manage to connect the devices through Wi-Fi Direct Settings, but I can't find a way to send files to the receiving device.
When I use file managers like Astro and select to send a file, I only get options like Bluetooth, Dropbox, Facebook, etc. but no Wi-Fi Direct option.
How do I do?
Best Regards
Jorge
+1 wtf is wifi direct?

WiFi Direct - it is only WiFi connection between devices. You need to use some applications or services like FTP, NFS, Samba, etc. to transfer files over this connection.
Better read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model to understand communication system.

Sadly WiFi direct and NFC are so poorly implemented in today's devices.. I have barely been able to transfer anything between devices.
for now it's a P.O.S me too can't even use the feature for HTC one X sux
Htc online chat support told me that you can only receive files atm with this but they might do an update later to enable it to send files too. Wtf!
Try this:
Connect devices via WiFi Direct.
Pair via Bluetooth.
Try sending via Bluetooth.
From what I have read, connection is made via Bluetooth but the actual data transfer should happen via WiFi.

Any progress? I've got a connection going between my Asus TF201 transformer Prime and the One X but after that, nothing. Connection drops after short time. I've read that mp3's on a working connection are sent almost instantly. 800 mb takes 60 sec. Would be great to have this working?

wi-fi direct
Hi all.
Acc to the below info After the both android device's wi-fi direct is enabled, configured and connected each other, a file transfer is supposed to be done share/ via wi-fi.
But when I select a file and wanted to share, it does not appear "via wi-fi" option under share ..
Why ?
"Step VI: After the connection is successful, you should try to transfer a file through Wi-Fi Direct, for this either you go to your file manager or gallery. Choose any file and click on ‘share via’ and choose ‘Wi-Fi’. It will directly start sending the selected file to the connected device."
Wifi Shoot app on Google Play store uses Wifi Direct
I found an app on google play store and apparently its the only app which utilizes the wifi direct capabilities.
The app name is "Wifi Shoot (beta)" You can checkout the demo video in the app page for how to use this app.
The app still in beta. I was able to send a file using this app over with wifi direct from my HTC One X to my friend's Galaxy Note. However i was unable to do vice versa. that is, i was unable to receive files from other device to my HTC One X. I used this app on my HTC One X and my friend's HTC One X and tried for hours to send and receive files but without any success. Only success was, i was able to send file to my friends' Galaxy Note. I believe on HTC devices, the implantation of wifi direct itself is not stable.
I searched for many apps in play store but found this app to be the one which actually uses the wifi direct technology. Looking forward for the stable version.

if you are still interested in options of sharing thru wi-fi direct, i developed an android app "PeerDeviceNet" which supports sharing over wi-fi direct and traditional wi-fi net. it runs android2.2+ and has been on google play for a while. you can share web pages, contact, photos, videos and other docs with it. unfortunately i cannot post the market link here (too new to post external links). you can find all the links at my web site: peerdevicenet.net ; or search for it at google play.

Hi I am using app called Software data transfer, managed to send files direct so far between GSi9000, galaxy tab 10.1. N7000, Galaxy beam and HOX.
So far its the only app for me that is simple to use without the hassle of setting up.. however although its free on google playstore, it seems a bit over laden with useless permissions. Till another app comes along i think currently its the only app to transfer file via wifi direct with different devices. Hope this helps cheers

yes, it requires other device have peerdevicenet installed because it run in peer-peer style.
it is a free app at google play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xconns.free.peerdevicenet
it works with wifi, and wifi direct (so you don't need external wifi net).

hi...
I know it's a ish old thread but the WiFi Shoot app it was commented before (I'm the developer) just went to v1.0 and from all my tests it's running very stable.
It works integrating on the Share menu of the apps (gallery, file manager), and the thing you launch from the launcher it's to receive only.

there will always be issues between different hardwares and some manufacturers that implement WiFi direct poorly, but....
I've tested between SGS3, GNote, GNexus, SGS2, TF201, N7, ..... but I've never had a HTC One X to test... so if you guys want to give a shoot and let me know.
JB 4.1.1 -.-
HI guys, im just wondering...is this problem solved on JB because mine hox wont send any file via wifi direct...im running latest maximus rom...regards
wifi direct working like a charm in my htc one x...!!
After jelly bean update ,WiFi direct works perfect ....installed an app 'WiFi direct,' from app store nd file transfer through WiFi direct is easier...

[Q] Transfer files from GNex to Nexus 7

I just ordered a Nexus 7 and given the very small storage sizes available I'm curious if there's anyway to use my GNex as a repository, say for ebooks, magazines, or even video.
Assuming I'm in a circumstance where I cannot connect to WiFi (say, on a plane) and/or if I can't use WiFi tethering to connect the 7 to the cloud, can this be achieved? I would hope this would be possible with Android Beam or NFC in general...or WiFi direct...or perhaps Bluetooth file transfer? But I'm not very familiar with any of these as an FTP between mobile devices so who knows.
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Miracast 4.2 and Gnex

Does the Gnex support Miracast with the latest 4.2 update? Obviously the Nexus 4 does, but Google stated 4.2 supports Miracast. Just wondering if this applies to the Gnex.
Check under wifi direct.
The quick settings toggle doesn't show the wifi direct icon, nor can I find it in the Wifi direct options.
In the quick settings, it shows the alarm clock icon.
Or maybe I'm looking it incorrectly in the wifi direct menu? (although I don't think so that's the case).
It does not support it from what I can see on This site.
That beeing said, I couldnt find the certificate for the Nexus 4 either (I don't know the model number for that phone though).
I did some skirmishing and apparently, this page: http://support.google.com/nexus/bin...ings_wifi&answer=2864005&rd=1#/answer/2864005 says that you can connect to TVs via the Wi-Fi Direct option.
Now, I'm TOTALLY confused!

I have a Samsung TV and can connect to it via Wi-Fi direct but beyond that I have no idea what to do. I tried to send YouTube videos, pictures, etc but there is no option to share and nothing else I could see in the settings. If anyone wants me to test anything let me know.

same here... I've a Samsung es8000
Have 64E8000 PDP and i can connect via Wi-Fi-Direct but after a few seconds the connection is broken!
Think Wi-Fi-Direct has nothing to do with Wi-Di/Miracast...
The Galaxy Nexus supports WiFi Direct. It does not support Miracast.

[Q] Wifi-direct Connection issue

I was testing WiFi Direct on my Android Devices. My devices are galaxy nexus. I do some tests by this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.budius.WiFiShoot.
My test is that:
Android 4.2.2 connect to Android 4.1.1
Android 4.1.1 connect to Android 4.1.1
Android 4.0.4 connect to Android 4.1.1
Android 4.1.1 connect to Android 4.0.4
None of above testing is successfully to connect each other.
If I try to make them "connect", I'll be able to see an invitation of WifiDirect connection, but after I "accept" this invitation, the status of this device changed to "invited", while on the other device (which sent the invitation initially) got no response.Thus a wifi-direct connection can never be made among the two device. No broadcast event will be callback.
Even i try to build the google sample WifiDirectDemo for testing, this app cannot work.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks a lot.
WiFi Direct is broken, i can't get it to work either.

[Q] Tablet Talk and All Share App

Anyone using an Andriod phone with their Note 8.0 utilizing tablet talk and all share app? I have an iphone 5 jailbroken which I use for free tethering however I was thinking of getting an andriod phone to take advantage of tablet talk and all share apps. I had a BB torch with the BB Playbook utilizing the bridging functionality and it was great! Wondering if I will have the same experience if I went all Andriod or Samsung. Any feedback would be greatly aprreciated. THANKS in advance!
I use TabletTalk all the time between my Note 8.0 and DROID Bionic. Unfortunately, in comparison to my Nexus 7,there seems to be more issues. The biggest one are the Bluetooth connection of one of the devices (not sure which one might be both) just kinda stupid working between the two devices. The device need a full reboot to connect. This is less frequent between a WiFi connection but still prevalent none the less.
It really probably had something to do with my phone or ROM though. Even when I Bluetooth tether, the device just craps out eventually.

I find after X amount of time Bluetooth has to be turned OFF and then ON again for it to actually work. Otherwise e.g. Tablet Talk connection to my S3 will fail, my keyboard won't be able to connect, etc. Don't ya just love Android and Samsung's Bluetooth capabilities? >_<.
Past that I've had no issues, haven't tried audio or tether yet.
AllShare Play / Link works fairly well and unlike the version on my phone, is still able to see regular DLNA devices (without making me go straight to e.g. Video Player or Gallery). Using it with MiniDLNA on Debian stable, it can be confused and refuse to playback some files with a Foo.jpg cover art file assocaited with Foo.m4v, etc. Third party solutions for DLNA are widely available on Google Play.
