hey there
i have been facing a problem with sending files via wifi direct for a few days now...
i can still recieve files via wifi direct from my friends s2 but am unable to send any
i am able to connect to my friends phone but the device is not listed under "devices on the same wifi network" while sending
on trying to send a file without connecting first,i get a perpetual waiting dialog
i am able to use other wifi related features such as browsing using wifi and can even recieve files via wifi direct without any problems
i have unrooted my phone and flashed a stock firmware (kf3) but am still facing the problem
i had sent files earlier using wifi direct when my phone was unrooted but noticed this problem recently after flashing criskelo's rom
any help would be appreciated
thank you
EDIT: Managed to fix the issue...
needed to set up the connection from my friends phone and then then send from mine...
after that connecting from my phone worked fine too...
seems to have been some permission issue

I tried the wifi direct settings today with another S2 and both phones see each other and I can confirm that they are connecting properly, once either of the phones send any file it bring me back to the scan for devices page but it does not see the devices.
I've followed followed this video guide and done exactly as what he has and still nothing... is this some sort of kernel related bug? using CF-XXKG2
Anyone , might now whats causing this ?
I can't connect to wifi ,it says authentication error occurred ,when I change back to stock rom, it show me saved and secured
sorry to bump such an old thread, but i can't seem to find a fix on this authentication error.. it just appeared all of a sudden, i have not done anything special with the router nor on my S3, my other devices can connect with wifi smoothly.
well, to start with, i was able to connect before.
any suggestions on how to fix this? i just might send this to the service center -.-
things i have tried:
-restart the router
-entered router details manually on my s3
-flashed another custom rom
-flashed another modem, kernel
-flashed a stock firmware
-reset the router
i have searched high and low in google and still no solution
Hi hope somebody can help here, acquired this phone yesterday (used) put sim in works fine makes and receives calls no problem, connects to the net via browser sometimes no problem , when tethering with either wifi or usb connection lasts for a few mins then loses connectivity but browsing on the phone browser works fine (Icon still shows data connected arrows-- signal blue), sometimes the browser loses it too but only when trying to go to links from google search, if i scroll though the pages of search results via google it open up the next page of results WTF !!!! I have tried bluetooth and many different tethering apps all with same result, I tried to update rom but verification failed even with a force flash, cannot flash recovery as it asks for blaze drivers, tried standard adb driver but device not found when trying adb-devices , its running B021 Vodafone uk rom kernel version 3.08-00004, any ideas Im about to give up and take it back HELP !!
Update, I have managed to install clockwork by installing linux dual boot, think I will keep it too, now running jellybean, now just need to port some Roms ! also I think xda should give this phone is own section , finding anything on xda for it is nightmare !
I have looked around for a couple of hours and cannot find any answer to this.
I have just got my S3 back from being repaired after Sudden Death, and have rooted using Odin and CWM Touch 6.0.2.8, and flashed the latest cm10.1 Nightly (Currently 17022013)
I am able to connect to the mobile network (3 UK) and get a good H+ connection.
I cleared all of my saved wifi networks, and try to connect to my home connection. It Accepts the WPA key, and gets to 'Obtaining IP Address...' and does not go any further.
I have tried now on several wireless networks including insecure ones, and it will not connect.
Please help if you've had anything similar, or if I need to provide more information, a log of some kind
I have installed the latest nightly from CM10.1 and the issue is still present. Which makes me think that it is not a CM issue.
I will be re-flashing the stock image of the phone to confirm this shortly. Will post results
