I've been looking for a way to do this, but have only found a tasker plug-in that can do it for a Samsung phone if it's rooted. I don't want to root and wanted to see if there were any other ways to do it.
What was the plug-in you found for the Samsung devices?

Hi guys,
Has anyone of you figured out a way on how to use this amazing feature ? Its pretty sweetly implemented in SGS, but the ONE X doesnt have any integrated functionality.
Tried to look for a 3rd party app. Cant seem to find any.
Have you guys been able to use it ?
P.S:
Wi-Fi Direct is a standard that allows Wi-Fi devices to connect to each other with no need for a wireless access point. (transfer files etc)
I have a sgs2, and for space reasons on the N7 I stored some movies on my phone for a long upcoming trip. Now I'll be deleting stuff as I watch it on my N7, just wondering if there's any possible way I can access another android device wirelessly or something without a network and grab some files off it?
Edit: I think bluetooth may be a viable option but it will be suuuuuuuper slow..?
Another user on here made this app, just can't find the original thread. The links below:

It uses wifi direct, I haven't been able to test it though because my arc doesn't support wifi direct
hello everyone
I bought a gtab pro 8.4 and first thing to do was to root, install a proper recovery and of course a custom kernel. After that I debloated my stock rom but I deleted nothing I would call important.
this is my first upper class samsung device since years (I own a galaxy nexus) and I have a question that may some of you could answer:
Does SideSync:
- need KNOX to work?
- depend on other preinstalled apps?
- not work if binary counter for custom roms or kernel is increased?
I can't get it to work, neither with USB nor over Wifi...
Thank you all
edit: or is sidesync on our tabs only to control the mobile phone and not to be controlled by a computer?
I have a GTP 8.4 and an S4 phone. I have SideSync 3.0 setup with them paired.
1) I believe SideSync is only between phone and tablet - no PC involved or supported.
2) After playing with it for 30 minutes or so, SideSync looks completely useless to me.
- SideSync will only connect the devices when they are both on the same WiFi network. So, if you're out and about, you can use it. If you're using your phone as a hotspot and the tablet connected to the Internet via the hotspot, you also can't use SideSync.
- There is a free app for Verizon customers called Verizon Messages, which I already have on my tablet, It gives me full SMS/MMS mirroring between my phone and tablet - without having to pair the devices.
- Leaving SideSync running all the time is a battery hog, so you wouldn't want to do that. So, when you DO want to use it, you have to start it on both devices. Well, if I'm going to pick up my phone to start SideSync, just to control it with my tablet, what's the point? I can just do whatever I need to do on my phone when I pick it up.
- Being able to place/receive calls using my tablet, with it actually going through the phone might be cool sometimes, but, as I said, if I have to grab my phone and start SideSync first, I'm probably just going to make the call using the phone. Alternatively, I'd try to figure out a way to pair my tab to the phone using Bluetooth and use the tablet as a handsfree device instead, leaving SideSync out of it.
If anyone can tell me something useful about SideSync, I'd love to hear it. I may have tried it and totally missed some cool use case.
any ideas why I can hear caller but caller cant hear me??
Hi there. First of all, I'm NO root. So I can't use Wanam Xposed. Maybe we can help each other to solve these issues.
-Is it possible to disable bluetooth popup when enabling it? I don't want to select my already connected device each time I want to enable BT.
-Is it possible to change the default player for BT? When I'm connected to my car and I touch "play" button, the default Music app in the phone starts, not the lastest one or any other app. I'd like to open another app instead (podcast player).
-Is it possible to enable Bluetooth WITHOUT unlocking the phone? I mean, from the lockscreen. (I have fingerprint security)
Thanks!
Why?
This link doesn't make any sense, you wind up in the same place on a browser instead of the app that I paid for that doesn't work.
Pp.
AFIK there is no way to hide the Bluetooth popup without root. Also I don't mind the popup, better than having to go all the way through settings to connect to a Bluetooth device that I am not already paired with. also if multiple Bluetooth devices in the area that are paired you will just connect to one and you will have to go to settings to switch to the other device.
Default player would also have to be changed through root, If you even can.
And no you cannot turn off anything or open notifications when there is a screen lock. The whole point is to stop people from doing things to your phone while it is locked. However you can setup safe locations (uses gps to find your location) where your phone will stay unlocked just like when you have a trusted device connected via Bluetooth.
Is the above at all possible? I've searched around for various options for what I'm looking to do and all avenues appear to have either been patched or I may possibly be on the wrong firmware.
Phone is a uk 855
Current FW is 4.4.2
The problem that I'm having is Chromecast while using my phone as a hotspot. I'm allowed to cast various apps, netflix, etc and they all work fine but what I can't do is cast the screen. This is very important to me as I'm trying to create a wireless connection in my car (As other users have done with different models).
On any of the google Nexus phones it's simply a matter of going to Settings>Display>Cast Screen. Is there a way of getting the G3 to do the same? A hack? A workaround? If there is, I can't find it so really need some guidance.
The issue I have is that Miracast disables the hotspot rather than using it and Chromecast just refuses to work without Wifi being on (which again would disable my hotspot). I simply want to connect my phone directly to the chromecast with no outside source of Wifi.
Apologies if I've missed anything important. I wasn't sure what information would be required.
Thanks
Updated to 5.0 and I still don't have the same options as the Nexus & Sony versions. Is there perhaps a custom firmware that I could use?
Sorry but I think no
Surprised to find a "No" with Android, a first for me
