I just bought Tablet Talk for 2.50 and the only way it works is via WiFi. When I try to use Bluetooth, I get a connection error code 1. Please help me.

If no one knows or replies, you could try contacting the developer. They are meant to be very quick at replying.
Sorry I couldn't help you further.
(Think I explained what I meant better this time )

Make sure. Both devices have their Bluetooth turned on then open tablet talk on both devices and make sure Bluetooth connection is selected. On the phone hit the red Bluetooth button and select enable discovery, on the tablet it should ask u to setup devices and find the phone via Bluetooth
What Rom are you on? You might want to test it using a different Rom. There were a couple of times out there in which Tablet Talk doesn't work.
I am currently running CodeAndroid and both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections work.

I'm on the latest cm10 and I had it working the other day with blue tooth just fine but I can't get it to connect today. I was able to unchecked the option to share Internet over blue tooth before in bt settings but it won't unchecked now. The only consistent connection I have been able to maintain is off the hot spots on my galaxy nexus but it won't reconnect without me manually pushing the connect button. Has been inconsistent for sure but just attribute it to the romantic and flashing nightly.

I ran into this this weekend... I ended up UNpairing through the the bluetooth settings in the ROM itself (not the app) clearing cache / data on tablet talk on both phone and n7, then repairing through the ROM and setting up through the app. Pain in the *** and took me a few tries but now it's working great.
Unpairing and pairing again works for me.
An alternative for the app but works a different way is TabletSMS by koush. I use it more often than tablet talk https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.tabletsms

I can vouch for TabletSMS. It works very well. I also have tablet talk but I use that for car connectivity by tethering it with my phone when in my car. The tether connect is flawless.
Tablet talk working fine for me.
I ran into the same issue
The only way it works for me is to press the connection button on both devices
I haven't found a way to trigger the connection from one device only (CM9 phone / stock JB tablet, bluetooth tethering on)
Email the developer, he helped me out. Awesome service.

For those having a problem with Tablet Talk relating to pairing/connecting your devices, here's a quick fix reply from the developer posted on Androidcentral.
I am the original creator and main developer of Tablet Talk. Someone emailed about this thread, which prompted me to make this account so that I can offer better support and obtain feedback.
First, mrgdr57: the app is for Android tablets and phones. Please send an email to [email protected] with the subject "Refund." Either send it from or provide the email address your order is under so that I can locate and take care of it right away!
Next, if you have not done so already, please install the update which was released very early this morning. It will help with the connection problems.
Regarding port: this setting only affects Wifi.
Wifi
If Wifi is not working, then please do the following:
Change the port to 8080 on both devices. It can be found under "Setup."
Under "Setup" on your tablet, enter your phone's IP address. Your phone's IP is displayed inside the phone app ("Phone IP: 192...."). Almost always the app finds your phone automatically; however, sometimes it is unable to. The tablet app keeps track of each network separately, so you should not have to do this every time.
Bluetooth
Sometime when Bluetooth is not working, a simple restart of either the tablet or phone fixes the problem. Once Bluetooth is setup, it should work without any problems. The previous version appeared to be having Bluetooth problems, and this morning's update (1.5.3) should help with these.
If Bluetooth has not yet worked for you, then uninstall and reinstall the app on both devices to get a fresh start.
When the app first opens, it detects whether you are using a phone or tablet. A popup appears asking you to confirm. Make sure that you confirm the correct device type. You can always change the device type in Tablet Talk's settings ("Misc" in phone, "Appearance & Behavior" in tablet). If you are texting from a Galaxy Player linked to a phone, then you will need to tell the app that the Galaxy Player is a "tablet." Also, if your phone is a Galaxy Note, the app might think it's a tablet, so be sure to identify it as a phone.
The standard solution for when Bluetooth setup is not working is to do the following:
Open Android's Bluetooth settings on both devices. If they are already paired, unpair your phone and tablet from each other.
Toggle Bluetooth off and then back on (both devices).
Pair your phone and tablet within Android's Bluetooth settings.
Phone: open Tablet Talk and press the connect button. If it asks you to enable discovery, press accept.
Tablet: open Tablet Talk and press the connect button.
Quick & Automatic Connecting
Once Tablet Talk is setup, connecting can be made much quicker and automatic for future use. Check out the Automatic Settings on both devices for the options. There is also a widget. You can tailor it to your specific needs.
Also, whenever you connect, the app will sync any newly sent or received messages on your phone from the last use.
Example configuration: When you get home from work, simply enable Wifi or Bluetooth on your phone, and then turn on your tablet. The app will take care of the rest. Automatic settings:
Tablet: auto start when app opens. Auto enable Wifi or Bluetooth.
Phone: auto start when Wifi or Bluetooth is enabled.
I will be subscribed to this thread and try to reply to new posts as often and quickly as possible. You can also email [email protected]. Feel free to send questions, feature requests, comments, etc. Feedback--good and bad--is always appreciated!

I managed to get it working by creating an ugly workaround with tasker: my tablet sends a connection request (via the autoremote plugin) to the phone who launches tablettalk (with auto-connect at startup turned on) and then the tablet launche tablettalk too with the same autoconnect option. As the two devices are trying to connect simultaneously, the connection is established correctly. That's the only way I found to get a connection (other than manually pressing 'connect' on both two devices)
contact names not consistent between phone and tablet.
This may sound strange but when I send a message on my phone and a tablet syncs, the contact name on the tablet does not match the contact name on the phone.The phone shows the name, but the tablet just shows the phone number and also when I have two people with the same last name in my contacts the phone shows the correct name but the tablet shows the other person's name, even though the phone's contact list contains completely different different information for each of the contacts

I have got this problem too. I have a Samsung notes 3, stock rom and would love to use vpn and screen mirroring for the exact same reason. As a matter of fact, this issue affects anything that uses wifi direct. VPN and wifi direct do not work together, they seem incompatible after the update to 4.4.2 kitkat. This seems a serious bug that has been very seldom discussed. Is it possible our devices have something unusual?
Vpn screen mirroring allshare cast miracast wifi direct are all terms associated with this issue.
Hi did you guys solved the problem. I too met with this issue after upgrading to kitkat. Am using note 8. Need some help from experts. Would like to watch uk programs on tv thru screen mirroring.
Is there any confirmed Android version this used to work. It's so important to me, I think I would even downgrade.
Of course it would be a lot better if there was a general solution to this problem. It seems that all trafic even the screen mirroring itself gets routed to the new address.

I had same problem when my s4 updated to 4.4.2 so I think 4.4.1 should work. Any ideas where I can find that version and change it on my phone as I used to use vpn and allshare cast together all the time?
VPN is point to point tunneling. Therefore, it is proper to close off all other IPC channels. It is functioning property.

I second that. First of all, it used to work just fine according to a couple of forum members.
Furthermore VPN is a VIRTUAL private network, making you appear, you had another IP adress to the outside world. In your local network, everything else should work.

Any update on this guys? A pain in the t*ts. Its effecting my s4 & s5 both 4.4.2 rooted. A rooted s3 on a lower FW works ok but i don't want to have to keep the s3 just for that. As others posted only fails after you connect to a VPN and I need it for the same reason as others i.e. different regions of netflix.
screen mirroring
Hello, any update regarding this issue?, any ideas if this is gonna be fixed on the 5.0 lollipop update? one last question is there an aosp rom out there for the 12.2 or note 8.0 or S5 that supports screen mirroring that i can try to fix this issue, to have vpn and screen mirroring on at the same time? thank you and sorry for my poor English.
Screen Mirroring + VPN isn't working since KitKat (was working fine with Jelly Bean) for all Samsung devices (as far as I know).
There is no solution for sure as downgrade (wasn't able to do so on Galaxy Note 10.1 2014) was reported as not fixing the issue (as issue seems to be in the Kernel).
VPN with Lollipop seems quite uncertain (add new feature to select which App should use VPN or not, but lot of complaints of people about VPN simply not working).
I'm crossing fingers and I hope someone will have good news soon.
So i had this problem until i downloaded the boxpn app and miracast shortcut app. You have to have an account with boxpn but it's only 38 for 12 months. So i turn on my Samsung tv, i have a galaxy s6. Open the miracast app then turn on the vpn and it works fine. Screen mirroring and vpn
I like to stream but I can not stream and use vpn when I use screen mirroring on my phone I have a Samsung Galaxy grand is there a solution
I have tried this effort using box VPN and Miracast at the same time. It didn't worked and disconnect from WiFi.
There is only one solution for this problem you can use USB cable screenmirroring and from this if you connect with vpn it will not disconnect for reference you can checkout youtube that how to use screen mirroring using USB . Hence problem solved enjoy
Just exclude Android System from your VPN connection if your VPN app the functionality of excluding selected apps.
I had this problem for years and just suddenly came up with this idea.

So if this is the solution what's the need of WiFi direct in Wi-Fi menu? I hope LG is not using apples marketing tricks to promote it's own solution instead of using the most common and compatible.
as was the case for android beam.
my LG G3 can send files to my SAMSUNG S3.
but the LG G3 can't receive files from SAMSUNG S3.
LG needs to fix this and not go for the exclusivity route!!!
it should be NOKIA connecting people. nostalgia, hand meets hand boot animation.

That's not a problem from LG, but samsungs S Beam, when you're on a aosp rom at the s3, you can send and receive files through android beam just fine.

Re: Wifi Transfer App Needed
I needed an app to transfer my files from android devices to PC and vice-versa. I had DropBox as an option, but I don't want all my data to go to Cloud and then go to another device. I wanted some of the features DropBox has, like:
O) Commenting on pictures,
O) To be able to capture a picture in the same app and send it to another device
O) I also wanted to open Office files like Excel, Word, etc. on the Android phone.
I hope someone will reply soon because I'm in a problem here.
Regards,
Pankaj
Thanks!
Wi-Fi Direct setup
Wi-Fi Direct allows Wi-Fi devices to be connected directly, making it easier and faster to share files or screens.
To setup Wi-Fi Direct, tap the Apps icon. And then find and open the Settings app.
Tap Wi-Fi.
Tap the Menu button.
Tap Advanced Wi-Fi.
Then tap Wi-Fi Direct and wait for your phone to find available devices.
Then select the device you want to connect to.
You'll see the Wi-Fi Direct connection icon in the Status Bar.
You're done setting up Wi-Fi Direct.
I often tether my Fire tablet to my phone's Hotspot Access Point. However sometimes I wanted to use it for navigation in the car, but alas, it has no built-in GPS!
So I developed GPS Tether that easily shares any Android phone's GPS location to the Fire tablet through the phone's Hotspot AP, simulating an actual built-in GPS in the Fire tablet. I originally developed and tested it for the HP Touchpad, but I found with a few tweaks it will work on almost any Android v4.2+. It works great for me and it's a pretty dependable and lightweight app, and I wanted to share it with all of you. Enjoy!
DOWNLOAD IT HERE
Note: If the Play Store says it is not compatible with the Fire tablet, or you do not have access to the Play Store at all, you can download the APK here
EDIT: Big update posted to the Play Store. New features included Bluetooth functionality and NMEA sharing! Check it out!
It worked without any problem (HTC One M9 + Amazon Fire). Thanks for the great work

It must be installed on both devices. I unable to make an iOS version because of the restrictions Apple has on it's access to what the app needs to function properly.
Probably a stupid question but does this app use data from my phone or just GPS?

Not a stupid question at all! In fact, I am going to include this information in the app description. :good:
To get your location, GPS Tether uses the global default location setting you have on the sharing device in the Settings/Location menu in Android. If you have it set to "Device Only" for instance, GPS Tether will only use the signal from GPS satellites. If you have it set to "High Accuracy" on the other hand, GPS Tether will use Google's "fused" location service. (This service uses a combination of your GPS signal, WiFi APs, and cell tower triangulation. This "fused" service uses very little-to-no data to obtain your location. For technical info on the "fused" service, check this out.)
The GPS Tether app itself does not use any data to share or receive the GPS location from one device to another. However, when opening the app GUI (not the background services) it will check for an app update on the play store in the background. If you have no data connection at all, it will simply ignore the update check. Checking for an update uses a tiny amount of data (under 8kb), and the check is only run when opening the GUI.
Summary: GPS Tether can be used with no data connection at all, and imposes no significant data usage.
HUGE THANKS FOR THIS! I was about to make a thread asking how I can use this tablet as a GPS and then at the last second I saw your thread. This works perfectly!

It´s a pity to hear that is not possible to use an iPhone. Can you provide more details about the limitation? Do you think it would be possible in the future? I´m currently integrating my Fire in my car's dashboard and GPS availability would be great.

Well, you bring up a good point. It would be possible to code it for iOS for location sharing only. And it sounds like even if it only had the sharing function, many people would use an iOS as the location sharing device. So I will explore that and see if I can code it in the near future. :good:
It will (most likely) never be possible to set the location manually in iOS (aka mock location). Android allows an app (with the given permission) to set a global mock location. This function was originally created for testing purposes, but they left it in for this kind of application. So iOS devices will never be able to be the receiver of the shared location.

Android tablets like Fire are quite cheap compared to iOS devices so, I'm sure that there are more people like me interested in just location sharing from iOS to your Android tool. I have some experience developing for iOS, so feel to contact me if you need help with iOS side.

This is a common issue with Android 4.x on 3rd party devices. Many different solutions can be found here. The GPS Tether APK is good to go.
Has anyone found an apk for Nokia Here? The playstore version won't load on the NexusFire AOSP ROM.
Since we can share a gps signal it would be nice to have an offline map app too.
I can't seem to be able to connect the fire with my oneplus one. I really don't understand how the two devices speak to each other, as no data connection is necessary and this is probably the reason why it doesn't work for me.
Can anyone help me, please?

To be more specific, no internet connection is required. To share the GPS signal from your OnePlus One to your Fire:
- Make sure the location is enabled on your OnePlus One and that it is set to "High Accuracy" or "Device Only".
- Install GPS Tether on both devices. Use the APK download if you are unable to download GPS Tether to your Fire from the Play Store.
- Enable the Location Sharing on your OnePlus One in the GPS Tether app.
- Enable your WiFi hotspot on your OnePlus One.
- Enable Location Receiving on your Fire tablet in the GPS Tether app.
- Connect your Fire tablet wifi to your OnePlus One's hotspot.
And it should connect almost immediately... and done! Lemme know if you need further assistance.
EDIT: It should prompt you to enable Mock Locations on your Fire tablet when enabling the GPS Tether receiver for the first time. GPS Tether will attempt to guide you in doing this and this has to be done first.
It works just perfectly now, thanks. I had missed the "Portable hotspot" part.

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to screen-mirror my A2 Lite to a Smart TV Sony Bravia KDL40W605B, but for the moment I cannot do it.
Both the devices are connected to the same wireless network, they browse happily without any problem and have the latest software updates installed.
If I choose "Cast" from the notification bar and choose the Sony Bravia TV from the device list, nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong? Is there any way to solve this issue?
Thanks to whomever will answer me.
P.S. Just for saying, my old Samsung A3 (2015) and my old Huawei P8Lite (2016) did screen mirroring with that Sony TV without any problem.

I don't think there is a solution yet, except trying some 3rd party apps. I also tried to use this phone with screen mirroring or whatever Samsung TV's function is called, and it briefly worked, the image freezed on the tv, followed by the phone failure to connect to that device again until unplugged and plugged in again, followed by the same error. Sometimes it would work for hours, sometimes not at all.
On my friends Samsung (A5 or something like that) connecting to that TV works just like charm.

Hello TheoXSD, thanks for answerring me.
If the built-in "Cast" software doesn't work, then I'll use third party apps, there's no problem for me. The question is: which app should I use? I searched a bit on google play store and found tons of applications regarding this topic, but the majority looked quite obsure and strange to me...
My goal is to just duplicate my smartphone screen into my Bravia TV, nothing more.
Can't really understand why Samsung decives work so well when casting the screen...

I really have no idea. Better software support and licensing I presume.
As for which app to use, I have no idea, check them one by one, which fits you best. I gave up on screen mirroring since that day.

I guess the only problem would be that I need to screen cast my smartphone's screen through wireless and not through cable. Thanks anyway.
However, yesterday something happened, both positively and negatively and I managed to cast my Mi Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite to my Sony Bravia KDL40W605B.
I followed a tutorial on YouTube by Geeki Review and it worked once, just once, perfectly, and then it stopped and I couldn't manage to make it work again ever more, even though I replicated the same exact steps.
The tutorial was like this:
1) Go to TV -> System Settings -> Setup -> WiFi Setup (Or simply go to SEN, Settings, Network).
2) Activate WiFi and WiFi Direct and then go to WiFi Settings
3) Press Options on the remote and choose Manual, Other method, No WPS
