at nexus7, you can have both wifi and wifi direct active. so you can transfer files thru wifi-direct and at same time browse web thru wifi (router). at my samsung tab2, if you turn on wifi, it shuts down wifi-direct automatically. can both be active at OneX?
thanks

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?

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
Inviato dal mio Galaxy Nexus con Tapatalk 2
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.

Any WiFi direct compatible device will be able to connect to another without the use of a router as a middleman.
Right now in order to do something like media transfer from my phone to my laptop, both have to be connected to my router. With WiFi Direct, I can connect directly to the laptop (provided that it also has WiFi Direct capability).
Think bluetooth, but faster, longer range, and more reliable.

thank you for elaborating
So this can work with things like Eye-Fi? Cool!!!
How to check compatibility
But, how do I check/verify whether my laptop supports wifi direct?

There is wifi network, but only 1 device can use it.
Suppose I connect my Galaxy Nexus to that wifi, is it possible to share that to other phones?
I know that I can share 3g connection to other phones via wifi, but is it possible to share wifi via wifi?
It is possible using pc though http://www.virtualwifirouter.com/
uhhh don't think that'd be possible. You can see that if you're on WiFi and try to turn on WiFi Hotspot, it disables your WiFi.
what kinda stupid network are you connecting to that only lets one device connect?
Are you able to allow more connections by changing settings in your router?
bow chicka wow wow.

I've just thought of this off the top of my head so don't blame me if it doesn't work but it would seem feasible if;
1) First phone set to share/tether via bluetooth to 2nd phone
2) 2nd phone turns on Wifi tether
3) other devices connect to 2nd phone.
Let us know if this works as I'm not about to collect all the phones in the house to test this out hahaha.

we ar gowing to drive for 200 miles but no way to communicate
is thare a way to connect 2 android phones with WiFi and call
over WiFi so no internet or min use just the WiFi connection?
glenn
Do you mean phone to phone (no hotspot or router) via wifi? Or do you you want to connect to a wifi hotspot and use that internet to be able to make calls?
I always use skype and its free.
But i don't understand what you talking about.
your friends are 200miles away but just using the wifi direct connect without internet connection?
i don't think wifi can connect about 10~30meter

i know the reach of wifi is more than bluetooth,
thare is a app for bluetooth in what I am looking for
it call blue talkie by Raffaele Ragni
but the problem is bluetooth has a reach of max in 10 meter
and wifi can do more
installing a router in the car is also no problem
Without internet you are out of luck I'm thinking. Why not do it old school and get a set of walkie talkies?

Hi. i am using the latest Cynageon mod RC5 release rom and i am trying to connect to a 802.1x EAP security wifi connection here at work that uses PEAP method and i am unable to authenticate and connect to this wireless network.
Any suggestions?
it works on an android device running older then 3.0 as i checked on my HTC desire. It also works fine on my ipad and ipod touch devices.
I have also tried a Galaxy note that runs standard touchwizard Rom with no rooting and i even tried a Nexus 4 and all do not work

It is a work router so cant simply access and tweak it at work place.
Also, i cant connect using other roms and devices
I had a similar problem and a router reset sorted it.

if you can't restart the router then sorry you can't do anything against it .... unless you restart it nothing could work for getting a connection

Yes youre correct my HOX with 4.1.1 and Tablet with CM 10.1 cannot enter the network because they will see the security as WPA. But you can install an app called advanced wifi config. Just edit another access point and rename it to your work wifi name. And then edit the security as 802.1x, PEAP, your domain, username, etc. And then use your luck so that your phone will connect to the wifi automatically because you cannt do it manual
