[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.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.budius.WiFiShoot
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...

DLNA issues

I have a PS3 and Apple TV. So far, I have been unable to get the built-in DLNA on my One X to see either. I installed iMediashare, which has always worked on my other android phones and it doesn't seem to work correctly.
At this point, I can't seem to push any media from my phone to other devices.
Anyone know of an app that works, or am I doing something wrong?
Update: I have tried pretty much every DNLA app on the Play Store and none of them work. Most of them lock up my wifi and I have to reset the connection to get internet working again. WTF? Why do the simplest things (voice dialing, DNLA, multitasking) not work on this phone?

Just tested iMediashare on my One X and it is working just fine. So it shoud work...

Yeah, I got an e-mail from the Developer. Turns out, it was something wrong with their servers. It's odd, because my Nexus was working fine at the time the One X wasn't. It's working fine for me now, too.

you have custom or stock rom, what is it?
mine work fine, I play it every day

Don't know if any asker still needs this, but here goes. I was also quite stumped as to how to stream media from HOX to PS3.
After quite extensive searching high and low on the interjacks, I come to these conclusions/solutions:
1. HTC purposely make it difficult/impossible to simply share media with DLNA clients JUST TO SELL their MediaLink HD.
2. For those who wants to stream their media (videos/pics/music), especially to Playstation 3 (PS3 - [for search engines]) simply download the free SKIFTA from Google Play. Instructions are straight forward, I was playing silly videos and HD trailers off my phone in no time.
Press that little thanks button if this has been helpful Thanks.

Found this thread through a search.
How is browsing other devices' content via DNLA done on the One X?
Mine is stock, S720E, CID_001 running Android 4.0.4.
From the gallery, whether viewing a picture or a movie, More > Select player shows my TV (connected to the same SSID as the One X). Hit it and it the content on my TV screen.
However from the TV, I am unable to browse the One X, like I am able to browse my SIII (GT_I9300).
Could anyone help please?

Does Media Link Work on JB?

Hi,
I was thinking to buy an HTC Media Link to make things easier to view my One-X on my HD TV. Can anyone confirm if it is currently working with the recent test builds of JB? also how does it connect to the One-X is it a direct wifi connection P2P or does both devices have to connect to my home router to enable them to send/receive content? The reason that i'm asking is to know if the HTC Media link will work in places that i have no Router connection available, such as in some hotel rooms or other places?
Thanx for all your advices....

It is connected through the home Wifi through the router so I think it will not work in a hotel?
I got one free fro htc back in June but rarely use it cos the lag is too much. Not sure about the current firmware though nv tried since June.

Whilst I'm not at liberty to discuss in detail the latest JB trial software for the One X - I will say that the Media Link HD has been reported as being very buggy whilst attempting to use it...'nuff said!

My One X is on ARHD JB leak, since putting this one it's no longer able to stream to the Media Link. I'm guessing as this is a leaked rom base HTC haven't yet released an updated firmware for the Media Link.
Having said that, I was less than impressed with the performance of my Media Link anyway. Hopefully the combination of new firmware and JB will improve things!

I guess you just have to wait for the proper JB release to enjoy some propper support from HTC as well

Well a long time ago I purchased just the MHL adaptor so that I could play content from my phone to hdtv. You have to also power the adaptor and of course your phone is then tried to the tv via the HDMI lead. But I also found that the phone battery votes flat while playing any content so the adaptor and power supply are not providing enough power to the phone. I was using the original 1A wall charger that came with my One-X.
But it does work well to allow me to use Skype on my hdtv and using my car screen mount to hold and position my phone for the back hi res camera.

I have a Media Link HD and it works flawlessly, no lag at all. 3 finger swipe up and it starts, 3 finger swipe down and it stops.
Specifically, the Media Link HD will work in both ways you mention. If there is no WiFi router available to connect through your One X will create an Ad-Hoc connection and stream to it that way. I've found that the JB leaks do not yet support the Media Link HD as upon connection, it notifies that there is a firmware update. Then when it tries to download this update it fails.

Thanx and so how does the media link connect to the router? Is it automatic or do you have to first configure it from a pc or directly from the One-X?
For my example if I'm in a hotel which has WiFi but via a web page interface to log in how would that work or in this case would the direct link between One-X and media link be the way to go?

It seems to set up an automatic ad hoc connection first, then the phone sends the infrastructure connection details to the media link through the ad hoc network. Both devices then drop the ad hoc network and connect to the infrastructure. So it is transparent. However I doubt it would work with a router webpage login.
If you are in a hotel with a webpage login then the media link would likely not gain internet access. However, it doesn't need that, so long as it can talk to the phone through the network. Saying that, if I were to configure a hotel access point, I would certainly set it up to block wireless inter-client communication at the router (to stop users hacking each others' computers). So in short it could work but most likely will be blocked.
Note that if the phone can't connect through infrastructure, it will automatically connect through an ad hoc connection. During this time the phone pretends to be connected to the infrastructure, so you may not even notice except that Internet access is lost.

I am also trying to get my M9 to connect and failing and have been in contact with HTC support and they are failing to be helpful too.
The Media link HD is broadcasting a wifi signal and if you connect to it via a pc/phone (assuming it's been reset to manufacturer) password is 1234567890HTC
IP address is 192.168.3.1 to login to the configuration menu that is as far as i'm able to get and I'm unable to update the media link or tell it to connect with another Wifi to update. I think part of the problem is the HTC M9 itself and not the media link.

Is HTC really working on this issue? And what they say?

Moab media link
So I actually just got off the phone with htc about the media link. I have talked with them 3 times in the last week to find out that the m9 in not compatible with the media link due to some new technology that hooks up with smart tvs so they said they were phasing out the media link. I am a bit irritated which I expressed to them but I guess is not the end of the world. On a different note, anyone having trouble getting there voice-mail going? Seems like an easy question but for some reason it keeps trying to get me to do the voice mail to text option which I am not interested in with no option to get my voice-mail started. Any info would be helpful.
Thx, Jasonbc

Shame on you HTC
Wow been screwed by HTC! Been a loyal HTC user for probably 14 years. I was a One M7 user and purchased the HTC Media Link HD device with it. Loved them both! When it was time for an upgrade I waited months for the M9 to be released because of Media Link. Now that I've purchased the M9 I discover that HTC has decided to go another direction with connect options and they've decided to abandon their loyal customers who spent nearly $100 for the Media Link device. This is unacceptable HTC. I will return this phone and tell everyone I know what you've done. Shame on you.

So you know it worked fine on the M8 also, But I think it's hopeless on the M9
the libraries required would be a nightmare to port over to the 64 bit architecture
It would be great but I'm not up to anything like that

hey everyone
i have m9 also
i contact the htc support
htc says medialink not support with M9

Well it must be crazy ...

What would be a good alternative?

A lot of LED TV's have the possibility to stream directly to the TV so you don't need the medialink.
Also when you do not have a smart tv you can use chromecast to stream from your device.

Does the 10 support DLNA?

I just ordered an HTC 10 last night from T-Mobile but I don't see mention of DLNA support anywhere and Verizon's page for DLNA on the 10 says it's not supported. This is a feature I use a LOT, can someone confirm if BubbleUPnP works? I don't care if it doesn't have native support but if Bubble doesn't work, I'm going to have to seriously think about whether I'm willing to give that feature up.
Thanks in advance

Yes, it does. I use it with my XBox One.

Hi
Have you tried dlna connection to your samsung tv? Not mirricast connection because i have tried to my samsung tv can't connect through dlna connection.
Thanks

Same here HTC 10 nougat stock dlna to Samsung TV seem broken...

I've tried DNLA for streaming audio to my Sony TV and although there is about a 5 second delay in streaming audio, it works (this is on mm stock)
