WiFi Direct (4.2)

Has anyone figured out how to get WiFi direct working?
I've used it in the Galaxy S III and you just choose a picture and share it via WiFi direct.
But I'm connected to my girlfriend's nexus with my nexus right now and I don't have the option to share anything...

Mine didnt work with 4.1.2 either.. Never figured out why..

anyone sorted this out?
it seems that on the gnex google provided the api (functionality) but no the interface...
I have a galaxy note 10.1 where also the interface in implemented by samsung, still I can connect gnex with note but file transfer fails

Some problem on me.

[Q] Bluetooth issue

I'm not sure if this is a problem with Wondows 8 or a problem with Jelly Bean but...
I have a windows 8 tablet (Samsung ATIV 700T) and I can connect a bluetooth mouse to it no problems.
I can search and find my note 2 from the tablet and when I click to connect the same confirmation number comes up on both the tablet and the phone.
But the connection just stays as paired and doesn't go to connected? Any ideas why they won't connect? My S2 that was on 4.1 also couldn't connect. The wireless mouse works no worries with the tablet. the mouse also connects with my note 2 as well. But for some reason the tablet and phone see each other and can but only pair and not connect.
Any ideas??? Google doesn't seem to filter enough for me to find anything directly related unfortunately.

I'm hoping to bluetooth tether my internet from my Note 2 to the windows 8 tablet.
Tethering with wifi works well but it sucks more power than if I did it through bluetooth. Any I assume bluetooth wouldn't bottleneck the data speeds too much anyway.

Note 8 not conecting via Wifi with other pcs

Hello everyboddy,
I dont know the correct name of this tecnology, but i will be succinct. I use ES File Explorer(app) to see videos im my other tablets direct from my computer and this always works very smoth, fast and perfect with my other 3 tablets (2 Asus and 1 Acer) and one Smartphone(Sony). This week i bought a Note 8 wifi and nothing works, but only with Note 8. ES File Explorer cannot play (only access) PC stuff, I tried Samsung Link and it cannot do anything too. From my large number of attempts, what i realized is the wifi conection direct through Note 8 and PC works only for few seconds or kbits.
The same action works great with my other tablets. I only can understand there is something diferent with Note 8 that is not allowing me to conect direct through wifi.
The folders shared is protected with password, but I removed password and not work. Again, the exact same steps works fine with my other 4 Androids but not with Note 8.
Ps. Direct conection via wifi with pc have much higher transference rate, that why its best than any other.
Can someone help me? Why Note 8 is diferent? I can explain anything too. Thanks in advance,

[Q] LG G Pro Wifi diredt/nfc issue

i had an issue with nfc. I had tried NFC with galaxy s4 and galaxy note 2. these devices receiving contents through nfc from lg g pro. but when i tried to recieve content from another devices it's always showing the popup (complete action using). and showing only play store option.
same issue with wifi direct. can't send/recieve files via wifi direct as we do easily in other (samsung) phones.
Please share solution if anyone have.
Thanks

I had the same problem when I switched from Samsung to LG, but the application Super Beam solved everything. More than anything is that you share files with any Android phones that don't have Wi-Fi Direct. In my opinion the best app for Wi-Fi Direct sharing!

sidesync on note 8.0

Hello, I need to mirror the note 8 screen to my win7 PC (that doesen't have an HDMI input).
I've installed trhe samsung USB drivers on my PC, I've installed samsung sidesync 3.0 on both the PC and the note, I start sidesync on the PC, I connect the tablet via USB but when I start sidesync on the tablet it look for the PC but it doesen't find it.
The Same if I start sidesync on the PC and I ask him to find the tablet via USB, it doesen't find it. .
Any suggestion is welcome-
Thanks

Can't get sidesync to work either. Dunno if it requires KITKAT (which I don't want since that will limit write permissions to my external SD card unless rooted) I use other apps though.
1) There's mirror op presenter. Free for 5 min per use (trial) then you have to re-connect. Good thing about mirror op is that it's not limited to a pc. with mirror op on another android device or another android TV stick you can can virtually screen cast to anything particularly documents and ppt.
2) If its just a power point, wps office is another option.
3) There is the option to get a chromecast which uses native android screen mirroring.
Hope these options help.
I have my own question about sidesync though. I hope someone can advise me. I read here:
http://www.cnet.com/news/samsung-galaxy-tab-s-sidesync-takes-calls-on-tablets/
that the galaxy tab S can mirror the S5 screen as a miniwindow or app. I downloaded the sidesync and screen mirroring app from the galaxy app store (which obviously don't work even for PC) so these probably won't let me mirror the S5 screen to my note 8. Has anyone tried portiong the tab S sidesync app to the note 8 so we can mirror the s5 screen to the note 8? Here's my planned set up or use:
1) At a conference/convention/lecture
2) S5 on a small handheld tripod fixed on screen/presentation.
3) taking down noted on the Note 8.
4) S5 screen mirrored.
5) When there's a chunk of works I need to quickly take a picture of and attach to notes I just tap on the S5 miniwondow on the note 8, take a picture and drag and drop to the note 8.
Or do any of you have anyother suggestions for this usage scenario? Note 8 I believe is still the best note taking device in terms of screen real estate and size but the camera is well...just not as good as the S5. Any advice would be nice. Thanks. More power to the forums.
