Hi there. I heard new Samsung phones have this feature called 'wifi direct' which sends files over wlan from one phone to another..... Like add hoc?
Would this maybe be possible to port to our x10 or not?
P.s does android 2.3.3 finally work with addhoc? Because 2.2 says it won't when i tried with printer's wifi.

Hi
I buyed a new sonyericsson xperia X10 mini, my last phone was a Nokia E51. When I tried use the BT I discovered that the two protocols (look bt the subject) is missing. I was very angry. :-(
What can I do? I will need the DUN, which protocol enable the internet sharing for my netbook.
If I will try rooting after upgrade to android 2.2 it will work?
Thanx, lazly

Guys, if somebody can help for me please... I nedd this function, but didn't find anything in net. Thx!
won't work until 2.x update, which will be available in q4 i think (hope)

This is a limitation of the 1.6 android version.
Current fix is to download "Bluetooth file transfer" from the market.
Hope sony pull there finger out and update this great little phone soon..
Good luck!
i've tried "Bluetooth file transfer", but doesn't work on my x10 mini. when I try to connect to device, an error message appears (after 3 min trying to connect. the OBEX FTP and OBEX OPP profiles can't be found it says) . It seems to work fine on some phones, and not so good on others.

Works for me..
Transferred FTP styles from a E71 for my partner just a few days ago didn't have a problem.
You could also try estrongs, that would work too.
Hi,
Can anyone give me some idea how can I turn my X10 mini into a wifi hotspot? I found many people are asking similar question but I did not notice any good answer. So this is possible or not?
Use Barnacle: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740698
search for it in the market
you could found that information in the wiki or with some searching in this post in the x10 mini/pro General Forum
I use Barnacle Wifi Tether as Cyberwuulf already said.
It supports WEP encryption on my x10 mini pro, and works perfectly every time, super fast - And ive sent in a few good ideas to the dev which he promised to implement in the future.
It works with my X10 Mini with PC connection, but fails to get connected by Xperia X8, and I'm still working out with other phones tomorrow... Please note that my X10 Mini is running 2.1, rooted.

And I got it works with my X8 too, before I read the following Ad-hoc mode only:
Can you make Barnacle use infrastructure mode instead of ad-hoc?
If one could make an Android phone look like a real access point (rather than an ad-hoc network), then it would improve compatibility and allow better security. Unfortunately, to make a wifi client behave like an access point requires fundamental changes in the device driver. The hardware vendors of the wireless interfaces present in most Android devices did not include such capability.
What one can do, however, is use Connectify to make their laptop running Windows 7 appear as a real access point. In combination with Barnacle it should be possible to connect many restricted devices (PS3, DSi, etc.) to the Internet.

and my damn old Palm TX and a notebook running Vista surf the Internet with both Android phones with Barnacle, and it's a freeware ;-)

Does anyone know how to work the wifi direct feature on the SGS2?
what can you use it for, and can it be used with a computer also?
I tried turning it ON on my SGS2, but nothing happens. It seems to turn off my wifi connection.
thanks
Guess no one is using this feature!

Wifi Direct only between certified devices
Hi there,
I could test the Wifi Direct feature between two SGS2 and the transfer speed was astonishing. Way way better than Bluetooth 3.
Here http://thehandheldblog.com/2011/06/20/wifi-direct-galaxy-s2/
You can see a demo transfering a 5Mb file in under a second.
I did a 110Mb video in less than a minute
Even though the Wifi Direct spec (Wikipedia) states that theoretically you can connect one Wifi-Direct enabled device with another (just Wifi) device, I failed my attempt to make it work.
Anybody managed to connect SGS2 to laptop? (Using Wifi Direct...)
Cheers!
PD: I have just read that SGS (i9000) was the first device to be WIfi Direct Certified. However in my old one, I never found a Wifi-Direct software menu!
hi guys,
i have installed the Miui ROM 1.11.11 into my HTC HD2 for a month, it has been working superb.
however, i have not been able to use the hotspot to share the 3G internet to my other tablet devices. I have tried to use other tethering software like barnacle, open garden etc but still failed, i have also tried NOT to set the pasword for these softwares.
can anyone tell me how i can fix this problem?

First off, my laptop works fine with my phone's ad-hoc tether, but i want to use internet on my psp and vita later down the road as well when i need it, but i can't find any way to tether my X10 other than in ad-hoc mode, which is not supported by most consoles/handhelds.
i found a few guides but it wouldn't work. Would either not broadcast anything or do ad-hoc mode with various apps.
Any way to tether X10 in infrastructure mode instead of ad-hoc?
Ok, so i tried everything and only phone's native tether (under settings, stock ROM latest updates) gives infrastructure, or at least what seems like it, problem arises when i want to access internet and get DNS server error... there are pretty much no settings to mess with there so i am at a loss really. USB tether gives no internet to my laptop either over the native tether under settings.
wireless tether for root users does however work perfectly, but only in ad-hoc mode. The beta version people use on different phones (change device profile select one of the master methods and go) to get infrastructure instead of ad-hoc doesn't work at all, i haven't tried all profiles but on few i tried even though app says tether is on no devices see it, SSID broadcast set to ON.
So any ideas? Could it be provider nonsense? i bought it second hand and it seems to have been unlocked from Orange, but ROM doesn't seem to have all the bloatware from Orange(just news and traffic pretty much) without that I wouldn't even have noticed that it is from Orange.
Would flashing a different ROM help? could it be Orange's ROM is blocking it? Otherwise i might need a new phone
Android isn't able to detect ad-hoc network. There is a program called "connectify" to make discoverable version of ad-hoc for android devices

I want to tether my ps vita and my laptop to my SE xperia X10. i use tether app on my phone to share phone's internet with my console and laptop when i am not home.
also on my laptop i got intel's my wifi app that allows me to rebeam/share internet which is sufficient for my need on my laptop, though thanks for the tip
problem is making my phone tether in infrastructure and not ad-hoc mode. i gone in as much depth as i can about it in the last post, though if you need any more info i'd be glad to provide it if it would help to find a solution...
It is just a stock Xperia X10 with all official updates and rooted... 2.3.3android 2,1,71baseband.
would using a different rom help?

^ This rom supports infrastructure mode tethering.
I am in the same boat as you friend but I want a different custom rom. I have upgraded my touchpad to ICS which has no support for ad-hoc networks.
I was using the stock rom above for awhile which supported infrastructure mode which was working perfectly but in my world I want to stick with Miui on my x10.
I updated the wifi teather app on the miui rom to the newest one and was playing with the different setting for different devices. I was able to get the tether app to start in master mode with some of the settings for other devices but I was never able to get the touchpad to fully connect to one of these networks. I had it connect briefly when I put a static ip matching the settings on the wifi tether app but it would not make any internet connection.
If we have the ability in a stock rom, why can't it be ported?
