I have used the guide to get adhoc wifi to work on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it does work. (used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1083182 ). However, when I use this mod, Market is different. It will no longer show "Books" as one of the tabs on top, only shows "Apps" and "Movies." Also, it seems to not recognize it as a tablet because it doesn't show "Staff Picks for Tablets" at the top, only "Top Paid Apps." Does anyone know where I can find a newer version of wpa_supplicant designed specifically for the tab 10.1???
Well, for those interested, turned on airplane mode, changed the permissions of the wpa_supplicant and checked all 9 of the boxes, rebooted, turned off airplane mode and connected via AdHoc to my work laptop. Market is now showing "Books" and "Staff Picks for Tablets"

Perhaps every one knows about the functions of wifi direct and how useful it is, on galaxy s2 it is very simple to connect the device to others with the same capability of wifi direct as you can find it in settings menu,
how about galaxy tab 10.1? although I could not find anything in the menu but still have the question if it is possible to use the device on wifi direct??
on some websites I saw wi-fi direct as a spec of galaxy tab 10.1, but could not find a clue on how to use it
I tried the Wifi Direct with my SGS2 and GT10 but it didnt work
On some website i read that Samsungs Implementation of WI-FI Direct is not like it should be because you can only connect with devices that have this feature.
According to the Specifications from the Wi-Fi Alliance only one device needs to have the Wifi Direct feature. EDIT: And this may be the reason why the GT10 doesnt have it

on the official galaxy tab specs site it says (wifi direct ) http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/10.1/spec.html
where the F is this feature in our tab
Missing WiFi direct on Gtab 10.1
I was just noticing that, too. I have the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus with Android v3.2 on it, and there's an extra option in the "Wireless and networks" settings area for "WiFi Direct settings" but on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Android v3.2 that option is not present. I'm betting the functionality is present but it's just missing the required setup function. I noticed, also, that WiFi Direct is listed on the 10.1's specs. Unfortunately, no firmware-update love appears to be forthcoming from Samsung for the original Tab 10.1.
Look,
There is the Galaxy Tab 7.0, which I Would think, doesn´t have this options,
but now you have the galaxy tab 7.0 plus, with more features than the earlier model,....
So If there would be a galaxy tab 10.1 plus, the feature is guaranteed there included...., or a firmware update/upgrade comes..... and incude it....
greets
Since the new GS3 advertises their new S-Beam feature which uses WiFi Direct heavily, perhaps it would be to their benefit to make sure as many Samsung products have Wifi Direct enabled.
I wonder if NFC must be present in order for that to work entirely or not.
I have succeeded in getting a Wi-Fi Direct connection between two HC 3.2 10.1's (both P7510). Much good as that may be. I was not running any specialised software but could connect cleanly.
Disadvantage: after disconnect from Direct Wi-Fi the machine kept on scanning for Wi-Fi connections, even though the 'normal' Wi-Fi was switched off. A reboot fixed this.
So I was trying to browse internet at a McD restaurant the other day and couldn't get my prime to redirect to McD splashscreen. Tried various browsers......opera, dolphin, stock, chrome and none of them would redirect. Used wifi tool and confirmed an ip address had been issued but the wifi fan would just stay grey. Dhcp settings checked, must admit I haven't tried another mcD location but just wanted to confirm whether others in Oz are able to bring up the sign in splashscreen with their primes running latest stock ICS.
Two Thoughts....If the McD's router is using the AD-HOC mode, you need the fix that's shown in the forum (or wait for update 19/20 - it's supposed to be in there)
2nd, At times, the only way I can get my Prime to work with Wifi is to reboot the router....Wifi Analyzer shows the signal there, but even shutting the Prime down, and restarting, wont work.....then I reboot the router and everything is fine.
I have no idea of what modes the Free Wifi Hotspots use
Thanks, now that you mention it I did already change the wpa_supplicant file some months ago as mentioned in this forum, I wonder if thats what is causing connex issues with mcD`s. Will try with original nxt time.
Hi all, first post at XDA!
I have a TF201
Firmware: 2.6.69.4
Android 4.0.3
With a USB Gigabit network card - Gelphi G Monoprice
I don't seem to be getting an IP, every other device on my network - PVR, 2 x PCs, iPhone ect are connecting fine, just not my Prime. Are there any setting required to enable USB networking? Or perhaps somewhere to configure a static IP for my USB adapter?
Any help appreciated.

other then just turning your wifi off there shouldn't be anything else
the usb should be a plug and play
it could be that the usb-ethernet is not compatible with the prime
You could try configuring it by using AnyCut (Does not require root) since it creates shortcuts to virtually everything on your prime, including hidden settings. One of them is called "Ethernet" and leads to Ethernet settings. You can get AnyCut here, since it's considered incompatible with the TF Prime on the play store, just make sure under security that allow installation of apps outside of the market is checked. (You can re-uncheck it once you finished installing AnyCut) https://www.dropbox.com/s/dny6o1c540u02ow/com.appdroid.anycut.apk
Once you install it, open it (Yes the gui is out of scale but it will still work), tap New shortcut, then Activity, then scroll down to Ethernet and tap that, then hide the keyboard and tap OK. Finally go back to your home screen an tap the Ethernet Icon, it should then lead you to the Ethernet settings.
Hi Everyone
How to send a file from prime by wifi direct to galaxy s2 or from s2 to prime?
Both devices recognized each other but when I want to share a file by ez file explorer or quickpic nothing hapends (s2 once again is searching devices but can't find it
I've read that the problem is ICS, it has API for wifi direct but no app for data sharing
Thx for answer
But on .21 I couldn't even find my galaxy s2 via Wifi direct. On .28 I found it and even I connectet this two devices.
On s2 (ICS) there is an optin in share settings (send via Wifi direct) but in Prime isn't.
Maybe this is a problem...
Really? I've been able to connect my devices but no option for file sharing, both on prime and GS2.Which rom are you running on galaxy? Where you have found this option?
Go to esfile explorer or quickpic...share option and there is option Wifi direct but when I push this it says - 0 devices. I press search for devices. It finds my Prime...cennecting but then nothing happends
I'm on stock ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ
I've tried both with quickpic and es (and stock gallery, root explorer) but no option for wifi sharing..
I'm running cyanogen 9 05062012
Hi I can confirm that wifi direct does work since latest firmware but does not seem to be fully functional,as mentioned maybe requires a wifi share app.
Have tested with Prime and Galaxy S3 both stock. When i say work ,I can send from S3 to Prime no problem but can't send from Prime to S3 as no wifi direct share icon appears in any apps drop down share menu .Gallery ,quickpic etc same as yourself.
All i did was turn wifi direct on on both and scanned both devices fond each other then option to connect appeared on both devices. Tried from Prime first to send a pic from gallery but as stated no share appeared. So tried same from S3 worked a treat with pics and a 1080hd clip received on Prime.
I was thinking maybe on prime going though the my net app but haven't tested it yet to see if the options built into it.
Ive been working with the android development kit trying to get Wifi-Direct functionality on the prime. There is certainly more functionality in .28 than there was in .21, but there is still not a complete Wifi-Direct implementation stack.
There is a WifiDirectDemo app in the r14 and r15 ADK packages which hooks into the Wifi-Direct APIs to manage connections with peers, and send/receive fails. It works great on my GS3, I can connect to peers and send files, the TF201 will accept the connection, but cannot receive the files.
If I run the demo app on the TF201, it can list peers, but will not connect to them.
If I create a connection from the GS3 to the TF201, then run the WifiDirectDemo app on the TF201, it lists the established connection to the GS3, but will not let me send anything because it hangs on "Connecting to socket" or "Waiting for socket connection" or something along those lines.
This indicates to me that ASUS has not fully implemented the whole Wifi-Direct stack, only partially.
Hey Guys,
first post here, so hopefully i don't do anything wrong
Got myself a Freelander PX1 Tablet with Android 4.2.1. Unfortunately I am stuck while trying to use my phone's internet connection via bluetooth. From what it looks like my android system is missing the Private Area Network PAN client support. (no /system/bin/pand)
Is there any way to 'install' this? As the tablet also does not recognize ad-hoc wifi spots I am unable to go online
Thanks!
Cheers
-Daniel
anyone?
I'm wondering the same thing. I just managed to pair an older Lenovo A1 Gingerbread 2.3.4 with a Galaxy S4 JellyBean/CyanogenMod 10.2 by having them pair, then the phone turn on Bluetooth tether (which Gingerbread doesn't support), and connect to the PAN from the tablet using pand.
This works but it's a complete pain that JellyBean doesn't have pand anymore!? Meaning I can't hope to repeat this with 2 JellyBean devices, only older and newer, or some set of in-the-middle Android versions...

sorry to hear that at least that means its not my fault^^
Ok! I happen to have this this post open in my browser so I thought I would share in my success, however obvious it is.
I managed to get a hold of a 2nd JB device. I tested this with 2 Samsung S4s. On the "master" device go into settings -> Network More... -> Tethering- > Enable Bluetooth sharing. Don't do this on the other device. Then pair the devices like normal. The end device should automatically tether through the 1st "master" device. You'll see a BT icon with brackets around it in the system tray. The BT icon will be lit blue on both devices.
If you get into the adb shell and have iwconfig around, on both devices you'll see a new network called "bt-pan". The "master" device will be a .1 (e.g. 192.168.40.1) while the "slave" will be given a DHCP address from the "master". (e.g. 192.168.40.124)
The "pand" tool set is not longer needed. You can just pair normally with newer devices. If you're pairing an older Android device that has bluetooth but not the bluetooth tether option in setting, like my Lenovo A1 GingerBread (which I keep for testing), you'll need to manually using pand to setup the PAN. There are apps that will do this for you.
Hope this helps.
