[Q] How to use wifi direct?

I did many searches but can not use this feature. I wanted to communicate with my laptop, more research without success. I tried to download the file to another phone, which also has this feature, but there is the option to send, as in the other device.
Example: open the file regenciador => send => wifi direct. This option does not appear. But in another cell appears if it is sent via direct wifi.
I'm using a JJ's Hybrid ROM 3.0 with support for direct wifi.
found that source code, but I can not use.
https://github.com/android/platform...tree/master/src/com/android/settings/wifi/p2p
nobody knows an answer. Nobody knows how to use this technology to help me and help others? no direct communication between wifi and pc / laptop / cell phone ....
what exactly u want to do

I do not know if that application will run. I do not know but I want to understand "linking" my device directly to the notebook using wifi so direct, that is without any connection with 3g/wifi. My research then without success.

Estrong file explorer app can connect to network shares if that's what you're asking...
i think for wifi direct you need some wifi direct certified device for PC/notebook like intel with my wifi dashboard

AD-HOC Connection in ICS

Hello all,
From other ICS devices I own and follow (and don't worry I know all about the wpa_supplicant issue) I was wondering if anyone has been successful in sharing their laptops internet with the phone?
Case: I at work have an unrestricted internet line, I can't connect a wireless router but I could share my internet via the wireless of my laptop (ad-hoc). Has anyone succeeded in doing this?
Thank you.

I remember there was a app but you need to be root!

If there's an app for that (lol) I'll take it, I'm rooted and ready to go. I just need to know which one, been searching and no luck.

Thanks for the suggestion, I found the app and downloaded it but didn't work on my phone, it gave an error in the las segment because it cant find the system group "wifi" in my phone. For what I can see the dev stopped updating this app, in my eyes its a shame because that could of been very useful and profitable for him at the same time.

This has been now a life long quest for me since upgrading my Xoom to ICS. I would have perfect connection with GB so I know our hardware supports it, but as of ICS they changed the drivers... I would personally pay for an app / option like this and I know that many others would as well.

I'm so sorry that didnt worked for you but are other apps on playstore you could search or you could try this one
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...NvbS5oYWw5MDAwLnp0MTgwX2FkaG9jX3N3aXRjaGVyIl0.
wifi adhoc
Make your laptop wifi hotspot
Run dos as administrator and type as follows
netsh
wlan
set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid="name" key="password"
start hostednetwork
show hostednetwork
stop hostednetwork
IMP:- It works on windows 7 and 8 only
Thank you for your help!
I followed your instructions and I got the wireless network up and running. When I try to connect my phone to it (Evo 4g LTE) the phone sees the network, asks for the password, tries to connect but keeps disconnecting and connecting constantly nonstop.
Any suggestions?

Not true.. Samsung is still supplying Apple with vital chips for their iDevices.. So I'd be careful, what I write.
Download Kies for Mac OS, and then install necessary drivers, then try to sync. If that does not work, there is an app, called AirDroid - Never had problems with it
Hope I could help!

Hi, you can check out SyncMate - it syncs data on Mac with Samsung Galaxy devices (contacts and calendars are synced for free, so you can test it and decide if it is something you were looking for).
Please, note that you will need to uninstall sync tools you have installed on Mac (kies, android sync tool) to ensure the correct work of SyncMate (in fact, if there are more than one sync tool installed, thay can conflict one with another, so my advice is to test each solution separately).
Syncmate +1
works flawlessly even on Custom ROMs. (I am on Syncmate free and CM9)

[Q] Gaming and app Issues with s3 i9300

Hello friends,
I am facing issue with my galaxy s3, the mobile is never rooted and runs on samsung official 4.1.2 jellybean firmware
The problem with my mobile is some of the games and apps keeps restarting again and again not allowing me to play or use them
Examples like asphalt 7 , cut the rope.etc.....and my phone sometimes stuck and restart as well.
I have tried doing factory reset even then it didn't work, I have taken to samsung service centre but the problem still continues.
One more problem with my mobile is like I can't send the files using wifi direct but I can receive the files.
Any help regarding my issues will be appreciated.

Flash another stock rom after wiping ur SD card and external sd card adnd internal memory, after that try installing a custom rom after u root ur S3 and see the difference.

That option would have unchecked itself after reboot... Was you turning that option on every time you turned on your phone?

No it would still be checked even after reboot. ..that option will be unchecked if you do it manually or do a factory reset.
