Hi I want to use the wireless tether on my Galaxy S.
It seems like Wireless tether is the only software that turns off wifi then turns back on automatically after the tether (unlike Barnacle)
so it wanted to try it out.
but It looks like I can't get it working.
it says it's running but my IPAD can't detect its signal at all.
could someone please help me on this issue?
thanks
You should make sure that in the Mobile AP setting the "Hide my device" is unchecked.
for me, my computer didn't found the proper ip settings.
Any suggestions ?
Anyone noticed the option for wi-fi direct ?
cant find any way to configure it
It's under more i believe.
yes but thats just a tick box to turn it on :S .. no way to configure it like the galaxy s 2

Wi-Fi Direct "is a certification mark for devices supporting a game-changing new technology enabling Wi-Fi devices to connect directly, making it simple and convenient to do things like print, share, synch and display. Products bearing the Wi-Fi Direct certification mark can connect to one another without joining a traditional home, office or hotspot network."
Sounds good to me!
yeh its great used it with GS2 to send music file in seconds .. its so fast
just want to know how to configure and use it with the nexus
Just an update.. after some digging it turns out that wifi direct in ics is just an api atm so app developers need to make use of this seemingly overlooked feature

Wi-Fi Direct
Android now supports Wi-Fi Direct for peer-to-peer (P2P) connections between Android-powered devices and other device types without a hotspot or Internet connection. The Android framework provides a set of Wi-Fi P2P APIs that allow you to discover and connect to other devices when each device supports Wi-Fi Direct, then communicate over a speedy connection across distances much longer than a Bluetooth connection.
A new package, android.net.wifi.p2p, contains all the APIs for performing peer-to-peer connections with Wi-Fi. The primary class you need to work with is WifiP2pManager, which you can acquire by calling getSystemService(WIFI_P2P_SERVICE). The WifiP2pManager includes APIs that allow you to:
Initialize your application for P2P connections by calling initialize()
Discover nearby devices by calling discoverPeers()
Start a P2P connection by calling connect()
And more

WiFi direct work like this
Turn it on
Thats easy
Ok
Now go to your laptop open up wirless networks and do a scan
and hello there is a Phone now showing up click connect
now on your phone a message will pop up saying a computer is tring to connect and asking you to say ok or cancel
say ok
Now your laptop is connected
Now open up xplorer on your laptop click networks and you will have two showing and your phone will be one of them double click on the phone this open up the phone just like in mass storage mode
Now to go the other way eg phone to pc that is the tricky bit
as the stock brouser sucks on android
You need es file exploer and do a lan scan and the laptop will show as a name click it and a message will show on the laptop or it will just open up the shared folders section
It only works on windows 7
for all its the old Ad hoc idea made simple
Northern, that didn't work for me, but my PC doesn't has got WiFi direct, so that might be a problem.
Anyways, I tried to use WiFi direct with my bother's SGS2, and we weren't being able to get it working properly. I tried the Android WiFi direct demo app, which was able to connect using WiFi direct, but I wasn't being able to send photo's. The S2 had an extra menu for configuring WiFi direct(TouchWiz)
Anyone that has got WiFi direct working on his Galaxy Nexus?
Is there any apps based on wi-fi direct?

It is very sad, that Google didn't finished it yet Is it so hard to make it work for us ? From my point of view we have been cheated
U HAVE TO USE 3TH PARTY APPS
FileExpert on the market does it

Well file expert needs an access point in order to transfer files and the phone that you want to transfer file must have file expert too.. which is just wireless sharing not wifi direct though..
My Sony Bravia got WIFI Direct too. I tried to connect my GN with it. TV did find the phone. Connected too. But then just kept dropping off the connection.
Did anybody tried it out with a TV?
I noticed it on my sister's GS2, tried it out, her phone can see mine, but i can't seem to find the wifi direct settings for my gnex.

as you can see, google/android gave us the api, but not the interface to manage this...
but released a piece o code to compile a demo app 'wifi direct'.... i do not have other wifi direct enabled device... and i don't tryied this yet... but, here is the sample:
https://www.box.com/s/728c598a466c6822cc94
let me know if it work (p.s. not compiled by me... i only found it on the web )
I am running freeza’s “Sprint Touchwiz Jelly Bean 4.1.1 Leak (L710SPRBLIH)” Odex. As any of you that are running JB know, wifi tether is not working. Although I have used wifi tether exclusively in the past, in attempting to use “WiFi Hotspot / WiFi Tether” by Innodroapps (free in Market), I was able to use Bluetooth tether to run my iPad. When I select “Wi-Fi Tethering” on the opening screen, I go to a screen on which I can select “Bluetooth tethering.” I select it, turn on Bluetooth on my iPad and voila. Hopefully, this helps someone out there. I will be Bluetooth tethering until the app guys out there modify wifi tethering to work with Jelly Bean.
UGH - trouble working this a.m. It appears that it may have only worked last night b/c my cell was tethering to my router at the time. Sorry.

Thanks for trying to find a solution for JB tethering but that app you are using is only a shortcut to the tether settings on our phones. It is not a hack which provides free tethering and here you go, enjoy your first thanks!
I am trying to tether my Nexus 7 to my Ion using Bluetooth tethering, but for some reason cannot get it to work. I have both devices paired, when I activate the tethering on the phone, and click on Bluetooth Tethering to select it, I get a message about ongoing operations being interuppted. and then the tethering window closes. Under paired bluetooth devices on the tablet, if I press Use For Internet Access, it does nothing. My phone is running the following version:
Model Number - LT28h (flashed from stock AT&T)
Android Version - 4.0.4
Baseband Version - 9x00b-scaqcszq-34702090-23
Kernel Version - 3.0.8+1.0.21100-30145-01972-g0f71270
Build Number - 6.1.E.3.7
I have not tried USB tethering, but WiFi tethering does work correctly. However, I want to use bluetooth tethering for various reasons, not least of which is battery life. Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Edit: OK, so I installed a Bluetooth Auto Tether app, which allowed me to use Bluetooth tethering, I am not sure why I cannot simply select it in the tethering options, but with this app installed I can. If the app works, then I will leave that on, but am kind of hoping I can find a way to remove the app and just switch it on the same way I would wifi tethering.
I've been using ParanoidAndroid on my Note II and recently I realized that wifi tethering does not work. The service indicates it is active but it does not transmit a wireless network name, so no device can connect to it by wifi. Bluetooth tethering works. I have tried 3rd party rooted apps and they indicate that the cannot run because ad-hoc mode cannot be entered. Is there anything I can do like change the kernel or some other mod or app that is able to run tethering? Or do I need to just wait for the developer to provide an updated rom that fixes this?
wifi tethering doesn't work
that's exactly what i'm getting too, error starting ad-hoc mode... hope this gets fixed :crying:
