I'm the developer of Fast File Transfer, a free Android app that uses WiFi tethering for sending files between devices at speeds similar to WiFi Direct.
The app allows for speeds of up to 32 Mbit/s, which means e.g. 1 Gigabyte in just over 4 minutes (depending on devices)
Features:
✔ Up to 20x speed of bluetooth
✔ The receiver is device-independent
✔ No need for a common Wi-Fi connection
✔ No data usage for file transfers
✔ The receiver does not have to have the app installed
✔ Send single or multiple files
✔ Easy to setup: Use QR codes to allow the receiver to easily connect to the wifi and open the receiving URL
Play Store Link:

I hope you find this useful!
Wow! Very thanks! Its is real cool!
wow awesome!
can't wait to try it

According to this: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/49020?start=0&tstart=0 the pre-installed WiFi direct does not work at least for the Xperia P.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
There seem to be two different functions called WiFi direct...
If you've got it working on your U, please help Panzerfaust101 on this thread for his sola: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948855 :good:

@XperianPro: You could see Fast File Transfer as an alternative to WiFi Shot :laugh:
Hope my app is of use for those with WiFi-Direct-capable devices, too.
E.g. for sending to any device, not only smartphones with WiFi direct.
Seems like Xperia S and Xperia P still need my app as a replacement for WiFi Direct, as the preinstalled one does not work even with WiFi shot.
My Xperia U support wifi direct.
Can you send to/from PC too?

You can send to any device if it has WiFi. So if your PC has WiFi, you can use it as the receiver.
The sender has to have the app installed, so sending from the PC to the phone is not possible.
Thanks for app,at least I can send files now to devices without wifi direct because Bluetooth 2.1 is damn slow.

When exactly does it close?
Does your phone have a carrier lock?
Can you use WiFi Tethering if you start it from the system settings?
Will it works on Galaxy SL I9003?
Hi Friends, I am using Galaxy SL I9003 with CM10 cROM. Stock ROM (2.3.5) didn't support WiFi Direct, as this feature is started from ICS 4.0 on wards. I rooted my mobile and flashed CM10 but didn't get WiFi Direct option. I installed this app but it stops at "Initializing". Did any of you tried on CM10 rom or stock GB ROM?
working
working nice on my XP

WhatsApp..Its a really nice app
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.

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 ....

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
I have a Sony Ericsson xperia x10 and can't connect to a open wifi in another country. Like at Mc Donalds it says connected to wifi but it won't download any data. I also have a Motorola atrix and it connects without any problems. Is this a known issue?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
1-make sure airplane mode is turned off..
2-try to forget the wifi (talking about Mc'd)- then reconnect
Hope this help

Doesn't work either if you use any external wifi software? e.g: "wifi manager"?
Also, check and be sure that these places doesn't use any host or proxy (just to be sure)
Which ROM has installed? kernel?
Regards
Don't you have to sign I'm for those services?
Open browser and it should take you too McDonald's WiFi cloud website
Enter your mobile number in there and they give you free access
You have to sign up to get access as it's monitored
Hope this helps
If your browser doesn't take you to McDonald's sign in after Conncting, try dolphin browser, it's redirects are way better
Also where I live you can't download anything from market on WiFi cloud
But forums work fine

Download droidvpn, n tunko installer. Tunko installer will download the supported tun.ko to u'r sdcard. Then use droidvpn. Register first, then select 1 server to your nearest location. Activate it. N i think it not really free...

There is no way you can use 3g internet for free.
WiFi or nothing. Your choice.
To last poster: DroidVPN will use WiFi or 3G to connect to the private network, it has nothing to do with accessing internet. You need internet to connect to internet..doesn't make sense, eh?

No, it is true. They can bypass their network provider billing system, using vpn, ssh tunnel, certain proxy, certain port. By doing that their service provider dont know that they actually using data connection when on the service provider billing system seems like they're not.
But thats a fraud, and disscussing it is agains xda rules, and i just cant stand these cheapskate who can afford a few hundred dollar phone but cant spend a few bucks more for data service.
