Anybody used Wifi Direct on the rooted ICS ROM? It will connect to wifi direct devices, but when you try to share media, there is no option to share via wifi direct. Im on Blue Kuban.
Thanks

Hello everyone! First time poster here.
I've been looking for solutions all over and i can't seem to find one...
Internet at home is down and I'm tethering on my phone (tilt2 energy rom w/ att). Tethering works fine but i have to disconnect from the LAN to make it work.
Tethering internet creates another connection independent from the LAN.
I am using windows 7 and i'm wondering if there's any way i can tether internet on my phone and be connected to the LAN at home?

You could tether via Wifi or Bluetooth instead of USB.
thank you! that did it
I was wondering if it's possible to create an app or integrate into wifi tether, for a user to connect to your wifi tether and once they connect they will be redirected to a link you prefer.
Im on FB21 with the rest of the crazies I have still yet to get any sort of wifi tether to work. I am using easy tether for some devices but I need to get back to connecting my gtab to my phone I miss it ..
Is it just me (anyone else had any luck?) or this an inherent problem with early release? Just curious, thanks!
I too have been unable to find a functioning wireless tether ability... though i am using PDA net via usb to tether, and it works flawlessly.

Also Bluetooth tethering works
Sent from my deathstar π___×
I went back to Calks 2.9 because there is no other way to get my touchpad online on the go. I love ICS but I have to have functionality. Touchpad can't tether via Bluetooth.
how to use the wifi direct on stock 4.0.4 ???
i tried to connect my Nexus with a Note without luck,i noticed the the nexus does not have any options other the the tick to enable wifi direct ,when instead the Note had more settings like a scanning feature??
thanx
I forgot that, but 4.0.2 seems can only turn on WiFi direct, but can connect to other devices.
I'm no using MIUI, so I can only tell that the function is running well on MIUI...
GN stock rom seems only offers a toogle, but no usable page to settings...
I am looking for help to resolve basically the only issue I have not been able to figure out through these great forums or otherwise.
It seems that getting the tablet to work with an AdHoc network is not yet possible. I have seen comments stating that it may be possible through CyanogenMod. Can anybody confirm this? Or has another way been discovered to allow us to connect to AdHoc wifi networks?
Otherwise, does anybody know how to get ALL apps to recognize the Bluetooth internet connection? I have a Verizon phone running FoxFi and I am thethering via PdaNet Tablet when using Bluetooth; using FoxFi and stock wifi connection for wifi. Some apps will recognize the internet connection while others will not. Is there some way to point all apps to the Bluetooth internet connection?
Thank you in advance for your input.

you need to recompile the kernel to add ibss to the wifi driver and recompile wpa_supplicant to recognize ad-hoc.
If you don't want to do this, most versions of aokp/cm will have it working.
if you are using foxfi, you shouldn't need to worry about ad-hoc

I may be falsely assuming that it is an ad-hoc issue just due to what I have read from others commenting on the issue (re: your comment about FoxFi).
I am going to start by trying one of the more recent CM nightly releases (cm-10.2-20131105-NIGHTLY-flo) and do a little research to see what is involved in recompiling the kernel to add ibss to the wifi driver and recompile wpa_supplicant to recognize ad-hoc and respond back.
Thank you for the input!

Does Pdanet create a connection as a VPN or actual bluetooth tethering? If it's the former, there's the reason. I'm under the impression that apps will be able to properly understand a bluetooth internet connection (via bluetooth PAN I believe)

When I tested FoxFi it acted as a regular Access Point so normal wifi was all that was needed to connect.
Usually it is the WiFi Tether for Root app that sets of the phone as an ad-hoc connection, forcing the tablets connecting to it to also have ad-hoc support.

I truly don't know the answer to this. Can you provide some instructions on testing this theory? I have tried the app Bluetooth Auto Connect and set the connection up with the phone as a PAN connection. I can pair the phone and my n7 together, but the stock Bluetooth manager never shows the two as 'Connected' versus other Bluetooth devices. Any suggestions?

Then I think it must be a limitation with the LG VS660 phone that I'm using.
The good news is that the installation of CyanogenMod worked! What would have been intermittent connectivity every 5 minutes or so has now been turned into a solid wifi connection. Apps that would have rarely worked on the wifi connection are now working with no problems.
However, I am still very interested in figuring out the Bluetooth connectivity option. For those who may not want / like to go the CM route, it would be nice to have a simpler solution. Plus, my wife has a stock 2012 n7 and I would like to be able to get hers connected without rooting it. Any input on how to accomplish this would be great!
