Hi
I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi (no 3g) and I would like to install whatsapp.
Is it possible? Couldn't find an answer on the web.
Thanks
Oren
It is simply not possible.

It works although I haven't tested it on my SGH-T859.

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....

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.
Howdy,
Just purchased my new Samsung Tab 10.1 yesterday and successfully rooted it but havent decided on a ROM yet. But what I need right away is a good tethering app so I can use my "wifi only" Tab out in the field. Can someone please recommend a nice tethering app for my brand new 10.1?
Also, is CM7 available for the 10.1 yet? If not is there a nice ROM for the 10.1 that has risen to the top yet? I sure miss CM7.
Thank you!

If you have the 3G tab, go to Settings > Wireless and networks > Tethering and portable hotspot. Boom! There you go!
Now, if you have a WiFi only Tab, umm... you're... not supposed to be able to tether with that...
The whole point of tethering is to take a device's connection to a -mobile- network, and share it out to other devices via USB/Bluetooth/WiFi... Since a WiFi only Tab doesn't have a connection to a mobile network... yeah...
I think what you're asking is, what's a good tethering app for your -phone- so you can share your -phone's- connection to your Tab. Right? That being the case, you might want to give us some more information about THAT device, since that's the one you need to focus on.
Tethering App
You're right. My new phone will arrive this afternoon. It,s a brand new ATT Samsung Galaxy S II. And about 30 minutes after I recieve it, it will be successfully rooted.
Also, is CM7 ready for the S 2? If not, what ROM does everyone recommend?
Thank you.
OK- here is what you really want to know-
a) Your phone has CM7 [click here]
b) The hotspot created by that phone is an "ad hoc" connection, not natively supported by the SGT. To fix that you will need this. You MUST read the whole thread- it has the hint you need.
Ok, I give up. What's the hint I'm looking for?
It looks like you will need to open up that ROM in the link to get the wpa_supplicant file and replace the one on your Tab. I assume that's all that's needed to enable ad-hoc networks. The only question i have is if that file will work ok since it's from an 8.9 ROM. Be sure to backup your current wpa_supplicant file in case there's an issue.

The tab 10.1v ad-hoc fix, does work on the 10.1. Tasks ROMs do have ad-hoc enabled. Not sure if the 3.2 ROM he has enables yet, but I'm sure he'll add it. Task has been very good at adding what users need/request.
I believe I may have not worded the start of this thread correctly. Here is what I'm trying to do;
1. I have a brand new AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Smartphone with a 2gb Data plan.
2. I also have a brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Tablet WiFi ONLY.
3. I want to use the the Tablet out in the field by tethering off of my Galaxy S II Smartphone with the Data plan.
Is this what's described above? It appears to me to be the other way around. If it is does anyone know a thread or App that let's me tether my Tablet off of my Smartphone?
Thanks...
That's exactly what they're saying. First you need to use any application (it might even support it natively) that enables your S2 phone to make an 'ad-hoc' connection.
BUT your Tab won't natively support connections like that, so you have to use one of the fixes provided in this thread to enable it (replacing your wpa_supplicant file with one that supports ad-hoc connections should do the trick).
Is there any app to monitor the data traffic on the Galaxy Tab 8.9 using Hooneycomb?
Apparently none work due to a problem in the kernel used by Samsung.
There is a way to flash the kernel on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and fix this, but I've never found a solution for the 8.9.
Can anyone shed me some light?
Thanks!
I use traffic monitor on my GS II SR and my 8.9.
Hi,
Can anyone explain what is the function of WIFI direct in the AOKP ROM? This function is found in the settings menu, more... (just below the wifi/BT enable button).
Thanks,
Allisson
Actually it is in stock rom as well (well, a hardware feature that is). It allows the tab to communicate with other wifi direct capable devices for file exchange, media streaming, etc.

Glad you asked , I have it on my hox and had no idea

Wifi direct work fine on AOKP, but only with this app here. For me, work fine on Galaxy s1 + Galaxy s2, both running Rom ICS AOKP M6.
Or, you can use this excellent app, which is as wifi direct but without wifi direct.
If i helped, please press my thanks button.
Thanks for tip

check the link below for a third party app that could help u with the same
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Eee you don't need 3rd party app to tether Internet connection. Just go to Settings > More > Wi-Fi Tether set to "on" (on ICS). Enable Wi-Fi on Xoom. Connect to your tethered network and ta-da!
