WiFi Direct - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

So I'm a bit pi**ed off that WiFi Direct isn't in ICS, A few days ago I'm sure I saw a ROM or something where the person who made it had somehow got WiFi Direct into it but now I can't find it, Don't remember the name of the ROM or anything so any help there would be greatly appreciated.
Also on my last phone, A Nexus S, It was possible to just flash certain parts of a ROM onto my phone without having to flash the whole thing, Kind of like a mix 'n' match ROM, Sort of, Would it be possible for anyone to figure out the code or whatever for WiFi Direct from another phone then make it into a flashable file to put on the XS ?

You can't add it that simply. AOSP ROMs will have it though.

So this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780338 for example would have Wifi Direct enabled ?

I haven't used it myself so I'm not sure if it's working yet, but it's definitely possible.

Cheers, I'll give it a go

[Guide] Rezound WiFi Tethering Fix For Other Android Devices.

So lately there has been lots of issues with people and their Rezounds using WiFi tethering. As most of you already know the sure fire way to make WiFi work is by broadcasting using adhoc. Most devices don't see this type. So here is an easy work around (Android devices only. Other phones, tabs etc...)
*NOTICE. DO NOT DO THIS ON YOUR REZOUND. THIS IS ONLY TO BE DONE ON A WIRELESS DEVICE THAT DOESNT SEE YOUR REZOUNDS WIRELESS TETHERING BROADCAST. SUCH AS A TABLET OR OTHER ANDROID DEVICE*
Download the zip from the link, Turn off wifi on the android device you're doing this on, extract the wpa_supplicant file, replace the old with the new (In system/bin ) [Might want to make a backup of the original wpa_supplicant before you replace it] and set the permissions as follows with root explorer or any other root exp app...
After completing these steps, your device should now see the adhoc broadcast from your rezound. It should have a (*) before the SSID.

Hope this helps. It did for me! Now I don't have to keep switching back to my Tbolt when I want wireless on my tab! =)

Thanks. I will test it and see.
Question: Where is this bin from?
trying this now. Will let you know how it works.
Extracted file needs to be renamed? I renamed it WPA_supplicant, replaced original,set permissions. My galaxy tab still did not see the rezound adhoc.

Thanks. I was just curious if it was from another device or a mod.
the file is appreciated, but knowing where it came from is important before trusting one's wireless communications to something found on a forum.
Has anyone tried this?
I just did in my ROM and it will not allow me to connect my phone to networks I connect to everyday.
The wpa_supplicant.conf config file may also be needed.

The source came from my Moms basement. Lol. While what you say is completely understood and true, we have to remember that in every download there has to be a little bit of trust. Any one could put up "something bad" and say "this is from the... Ugh.... Samsung Galaxy tab"
I just simply Googled it, came across an old thread right here on XDA, gave it a shot and it worked! I was super stoked because this has been a big issue of mine and now that I found a solution I'm passing along the info with a direct dropbox link.

You didn't do this on your phone did you? Its ment for a device that you wish to give your phones wifi tethering to. IE: a tablet or other android device. You don't mess with your phone at all. Read carefully. You simply replace the wpa_supplicant file in the system/bin folder of the tablet or other android device that's not "seeing" your wifi tether broadcast from your phone. If you made a back up before you replaced this, restore it. If you need, I will help you. PM me and I'll get back asap. At work right now til 10pm (eastern) but will do what I can while here at work.

You do not put this file on your phone... you put this file on the Android device which you are trying to enable to connect to your phone via ad-hoc.
Also, it should be noted that there are many different unique configurations out there, and you should look for a wpa_supplicant file specific to your device before trying one designed for another device. Different wireless chips in different phones/tablets across different versions of Android might not be cross compatible.

Yup. Works perfectly on my flyer. That is why I did this. I had a xoom with an ICS rom that didn't work, but my HC Rom did see it! Sold my xoom then got a flyer. Same issue. After this, everything is perfect! Using an MHL adapter and.mirror mode on my 60" is sick. I needed this and glad I got it working and could share =)

This thread really doesnt belong in development although I appreciate the OP's willingness to bring knowledge to the community. This is a device specific issue with "other" android devices therefore adds no value to Rezound development.
Also, each device may have a differnt supplicant file but that I cannot confirm 100%. I would recomend to all that you search the device specific forum for this fix.

WiFi totally gone from Atrix after unlock - flash

Hello,
I'm going nuts trying to figure out how to fix my Atrix 4G (AT&T).
I Rooted > Unlocked my Atrix and installed the Touch version of CWM and flashed CM9 and it all seemed perfect.
However it seems all the WiFi drivers are gone.
Trying to turn on WiFi simply makes my Atrix reboot. Trying to use some WiFi tethering tools give back a 'no Wpa supplicant' error.
The phone works perfectly except for the fact it has zero WiFi capability now.
I flashed other ROMs like MIUI, and AOKP to no avail, same issue, no wifi.
I flashed the Stock ATT ROM via a fruitcake thinking it will 'reinstall' my wifi drivers but i was mistaken.
Anyone have any ideas how to get WiFi drivers installed again? Why wouldnt the ROMs have that already?
Bit confused and would appreciate any help.

Bluetooth also doesnt work and causes a reboot too if I attempt to turn it on.
In that case, your wifi/bt chip is likely burnt. Sorry.

WiFi problem

Hello friends is there any way to increase the WiFi connectivity?? I'm currently using Real ICS lite r4 and kernal panic.
My friend uses the laptop's WiFi greatly all the time but my st15i can't even connect to the WiFi.. I thought laptops have high connectivity than mobile but his Samsung galaxy ace also connects to WiFi and he can browse with ease(though he can't download). The WiFi is common WiFi in our hostel campus, its security is open but we have to input the ip address manualy in order to connect. So is there any app for that? Or is there any tweaks?

There are few tweaks in tiwlan.ini. Check my tutorial in my sig.
That's all you can do. The max you can get from your phone, you would have to do deep kernel editing to make the wifi stronger, at the same time hoping to not f**k it up.

I think that's maybe a bit true but not so to be counting on every change you make to your phone. I have friends that test ROM's with their Xperia mini Pro and use them as main phone and they have no problem with battery life or device. So you can try out Kernels and ROM's but be careful in the way you do it
Good Luck!

Hmmmmm does often using your phone corrupt your memory card? Does often using your computer corrupt your hard drive? You can't really say! Failure of a memory storage device depends on numerous factors. Every memory storage device fails someday but that someday is unpredictable and that day must be atleast few years away (you are not going to use the same phone for another 6 years, are you???)

[Q] [Xperia U] Wi-Fi connections give me "Limited Conectivity".

Hi there!
I just got a shiny new Xperia U and proceeded to connect to Wi-Fi, only to discover that it will not connect entirely, instead giving me "Limited Conectivity".
Now, I've been searching all over the Internet for the past few days and have found many users with similar problems (and a whole bunch of solutions that didn't work). Basically what's going on is that the DHCP is giving me a 169.254.xx.xx adress instead of a 192.168.xx.xx as it should. This happens on ALL routers. I've managed to get internet at work by using a static IP and setting the DNS manually, but then that same solution didn't work at home (work is WPA, home is WEP, not sure if that's the reason). And in any case, setting up DNS for every Wi-Fi connection is not really a plausible solution (public Wi-Fi spots ain't gonna tell you their DNS).
So, that's as far as I've managed to get. I've downloaded some of those Wi-Fi fixer apps but they don't work. I've been trying everything short of rooting the device (haven't done it yet, never had a Smartphone before and I rather not go too deep unless strictly necesary).
Anyway, that's my problem. If anyone can give me a hand, I'd be most grateful.
And finally tech specs:
Android 4.0.4
Model number: ST25a
Build number: 6.1.1.B.1.10
Thanks in advance!

CM9? Not sure what that is.
It COULD be hardware, I've seen many people complaining about the same thing with Xperia phones. Even on the Sony forums (and Sony's response is always "check the router"). But since other people don't have this isuue, I'm guessing it's gotta be solvable by software.
I fear that if it's the model and if I just return it, they'll give me another one and it will have the exact same problem
Edit: ok, found that CM9 means a custom ROM. I guess after installing a firmware, installing a ROM shouldn't be too much of a problem (even if I don't fully understand the whole thing). Will try. Any tips?
Edit2: oh dear god, I just went to the list here on XDA, there's so many! I thought it was just one! Um... help? I'm completely lost here.
Okay, CM9 is AOSP android ( the pure android, without Sony's framework or addons) with some extra features. Actually not all xpu models suffer from the problem you describe. My suggestion is that you exchange it for a new model. But if you want to try cm9, pm me. I'll give a detailed guide

Yes, shiny new under warranty. I'm going to take it there tomorrow. Haven't decided if I'm gonna root it or not. I mean... what's more likely? That it's a software problem and can be solved by instaling custom ROM? Or that it's a hardware problem and I should ask for another one? What are the chances that a new one WILL have working Wi-Fi?
I'ts been a crazy week trying to sort this thing out. I'm completely lost and willing to do anything. But yeah maybe I shouldn't jump into rooting if changing is easy (but WILL it be easier? I'll know that tomorrow when visiting my carrier I suppose).
Typical software developer, my frist instinct was to try and solve it myself
Quick solutions...
Flash the lastest stock ROM using flashtool, you know, download and install the program, download the ROM, put in firmware folder, click at the thunder icon, choose flashmode pick the ROM and follow screen instructions.
If doesn't work, go for your warranty.
Any question just ask.
EDIT: You need to install drivers for flashing, is at drivers folder, you can search a tutorial for flashtool.

[Q] Internation Base ROMs+ Network Extender

I have noticed that any ROMs based on the international base have a problem with putting my Note II into roaming whenever I am connected to my network extender at home. Any ROMs built on the Verizon base work just fine. My question is: can I backup my modem settings with TWRP, flash a ROM built on the international base and then restore the modem as the last step to get around this issue?
Sorry if this is a noob question, but I am new to Android and custom ROMs.

The modem stays with every flash until you flash a new one, you don't have to worry about it. As for what you want to do I don't think it would matter about the Network Extender, everything you would need would be built in to the international Roms on our forums, but I'm not 100% sure as I've never came across this before.

The modem stays with every flash until you flash a new one, you don't have to worry about it. As for what you want to do I don't think it would matter about the Network Extender, everything you would need would be built in to the international Roms on our forums, but I'm not 100% sure as I've never came across this before.

Thanks for the information. I figured the solution probably wasn't that easy.

Well sting as how the modem carries over no matter what you flash then you wouldn't have a problem there. How does the extender work? Do you connect like WiFi or does the phone automatically pick it up or do you have a special app? I don't think you'd have assn issue as long as you stayed on TW but AOSP you may depending on how the extender works.

The network extender connects to a home wireless network so you are basically doing VOIP when connected to it. There is no app to use, the phone automatically uses the extender when it is available.

Then it should work with any ROM.
The only thing I have found is this:

The only time problems were experienced was on AOSP, and that was only due to a leaked modem that probably wasn't optimized yet, so I would bet you won't have any issues

Thanks for the link. That is pretty much exactly what happens for me with any AOSP/International base ROM. I am guessing that network extenders are a Verizon/US only device and perhaps that explains why only Verizon based ROMs properly recognize the extender. The extender itself actually works and my phone calls properly get routed through the extender. The phone however is always on roaming when connected to the extender, so if data roaming for example is turned off things get a little difficult. It isn't a huge deal really, it just keeps me from using some of the more interesting AOSP type ROMs that are available.

You could ask Scott if there is a fix for Cleanrom and ask Beans the same thing. You could also ask in the AOSP threads if there is any way for that to be worked on, its very very odd....

Once I build up the proper post count I will see if those guys have an idea on this.

It may be something that was either taken out to make the ROM more sleek or not added to the international base.
