Droid to Droid file transfer via Wifi
I have the same issue. My galaxy S2 GTI9100 came with gingerbread and I could share vids or pics via wifi to my fiances sgs2 easily. I upgraded to stock ROM ICS and the share via wifi appears to be replaced with wifi direct. It appears that wifi direct shuts down normal wifi comns when in use, and both phones need to activate wifi direct. Does anyone have an Apk
for this from gingerbread stock ROM that I can overlay on my ICS ROM or is this not possible ?

i used a lot the wifi tethering of my galaxy 2 until...i upgrade ..after this i used it once and then nothing...i did hard reset and again worked once and after nothing..my laptops can see the wifi and connects with it but doesnt share the internet access..in contrary if i use the usb tether everything works like a charm...has anyone any idea???
I am having the same problem. Did you resolve the issue and how did you do it...
Thanks in advance...
Same here as well, I have not used tethering before until now and wanted to see if I could get it to work as I will be away in a few weeks with no internet access for my laptop so wanted to try and get this running.
As said above got the laptop to see and connect to the phone, but wont let me have internet. Not tried doing it via usb yet as wanted to try it wireless.
Any ideas anyone? (by the way running lite'ning rom as well 5.2)
I have the same issue on mine. Just release/renew the ip address and it works fine.

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 all,
I just upgraded to XLP7 (ICS) on my Bell SGS2. After upgrading I can no longer scan and find my home wireless n signal. my other devices (laptops) are however able to find it.
With GB 2.3.6 I was able to scan and find the wireless n signal.
Wondering if anyone else has checked and run into this issue.
Sorry for the noobness. I'm hoping someone can help me out. Yesterday I flashed my Bell/Virgin SGS2 with the new XXLPQ (polish version) of ICS.
Everything is working except one of the most important things. Wifi Hotspot. When I try to connect my tablet to it or my netbook, it says that they are connected, seems to assign an IP address but neither my laptop or my tablet have an internet connection. When I switch back to my router, everything is fine.
I'm using unlocked and rooted SGS2 with the XXLPQ firmware and modem on the Fido network. Also, my roaming icon is constantly on, but I understand that's due to Fido-Rogers network ID protocols.
Can anyone advise? I'm ready to flash this thing back to original FW.
THanks!
I cant seem to get wifi direct to work on my phone. My tab (a samsung galaxy tab 2 7") can find my phone on wifi direct, but cant make a proper connection. Also there is no option to send files via wifi direct in the share menu (there is an option in my tab). I tried several apps from the app store but none of them worked. One of them (I dont remember which) mentioned that it could be an issue with the wifi driver of the phone and updating to jellybean could solve the problem. Since I am not willing to install any custom ROMs and since there is no official jellybean update or even an official confirmation that there will be one, that is not an option, at least for the moment.
Was anyone else able to use wifi direct in the stock ROM? If so, how? Please help. Please do not reply that we can send files over wifi, that is not what I meant.
Wifi direct didn't work for me too.
