Hello, Ive been having this problem with SGS1, and I still have it with SGS3. Whenever I try to share a file via bluetooth, it takes ages to send. For example, I want to send 1gb file between my SGS3 and friend's One X, after 5 minutes there is only 2-4% of the file sent. What can I do to speed up file transfer speed?
Thanks in advance
use wifi
Hahaha bluetooth is not designed for that, use wifi direct

Wifi direct always fail, because when i try to send a file, it just doesnt get sent. I connect with someone, but when i send files, another person doesnt get anything.
As has been said already, bluetooth isn't designed for large files so the transfer rate is slow. It's mainly designed for small files for example music files, You would be best off using Wifi direct or failing that, copy the file to a PC via USB then copy it to the other phone.

I am trying to find the best way that I can easily access/stream files from my phone to my tablet.
So far I have tried:
- Bluetooth. Too slow
- Kies. Could not connect the devices together after repeated attempts
The phone has wifi direct, but the tablet does not seem to. What android apps offer the best seamless file sharing? I tried bump, did not like it. I suppose if I had the usb adapter I could connect the phone as a mass storage device, but I don't have the adapter yet and I'd like to keep it wireless anyhow.

Websharing is my favorite

Have you tried DropBox? It works great between the home computer, phone and tablet.
'swiFTP FTP Server' to create a local server. use 'andFTP' to connect to that server. both free in the android market
Is it possible to stream with andftp?
I can't see how in the free version but maybe pro does??

I'm a big fan of sugar sync, as you can see from my signature. Just like dropbox, but has more free space and no cap if you get more people referred
i tried it with Samba Filesharing. I was able to find my phone but wasnt able to connect to it. Did it while in Hotspot mode on my phone.

Hi,
I am trying to transfer files to and from my lappy using Wifi Direct, and don't know how.
I'm using a Dell XPS with Intel MyWifi direct. If I scan for Wifi direct devices from the phone, it turns up nothing.
I can share internet from my laptop to the phone no problem (using normal Wifi on the phone).
Can someone help me to set up file transfer using wifi direct? Thanks will be given.. :good:

I have done a similar thing but using the Samba file sharing app. Look in the Playstore.

Thanks, I'll definitely try that.
But shouldn't it be possible without another app?
At least pairing and receiving?

BUMP!
Hasn't anyone used the Wifi Direct on this phone??
If tou had searched a bit b4 posting, youd would have found out, that wifi direct is not working on all wifi adapters on your pc.
that being said, samba fileshare is a good alternative, or use droobox.

You could also try Airdroid, it's a cracking little app.
Hi,
Sorry, this is not a reply to your question but I can't find anybody else who has done this.. How do you share internet connection from Laptop to the phone Galaxy s3? I know you can share the connection from phone to laptop, but don't know how to do it the other way. Appreciate your info.
Thanks.

Use Connectify and create a AP-Hotspot (which creates "real" Wifi network, not Ad-hoc)
It is however not compatible with some (usually cheap low-cost) Wifi adapters/cards/USB-Sticks and requires Windows 7.

hello. I am trying hard to share files using WIfi direct(galaxy note 10.1 under german JB), to an Asus Laptop (intel MyWifi dashboard installed).
I can use the Wifi as Hotspot, but not in Sharing Files.
Struggling, installing drivers, many options..still not possible. I have the same problem. recognising, but refusing to connect each other.
REmoving firewall or adding exceptions, it seems it's a problem of security controls.
IF SOMEONE could help us.
NB : sharing files from any samsung to each others works prefectly well (tab to note, or note galaxy S...)
thanks for reply.

Use connectify
use samsung link that comes with samsung kies and your phone to transfer files .. via wifi.. you can download it from samsung official website if its not there ..
wifi direct
i know wifi direct can use between android. these dont use ure home network or router (now is using this method).
means transfer files from andriod phone to other android phone.
and its preety blazing fast compared to bluetooth (eg; u can transfer hd video in very short time).
the main point is fast transfer speed.... and on the go.
i'm also curious about same technic for a laptop.
means transfer files from andriod phone to laptop, like wise. or laptop to laptop.
it said the technology also have in laptop, but i also cant find the solution.
maybe we still have to wait for anothe year or +.
:laugh:
Do you use non stock roms like asop?
If so wifi direct will not work.
Greetings members.. soo i have been using wifi direct to transfer large files from my S3 to frndz S2.. that got me thinking is there any way to use this to transfer files on PC.. ie transferring without an active net connection or a wifi network ??

Try kies Wi-Fi.

Even kies wifi needs a home network..

you can start up a hotspot on the phone and use SWIFTP to host an ftp server off the phone
Use the phone's Wifi Tethering option or the freeware "Connecitfy" on the computer to create a Wifi network and then use an app like SAMBA Fileshare to transfer the files.
Afaik Wifi Direct is a software-only protocol which uses sort of apoint-to-point Adhoc network so there is no reason why computers should not be able to use it, at least no technical. You'd need the corresponding tools / drivers though and to my knowledge none such exist.
I have always found es file explorer to work extremely well. You do need to spend a little time to become familiar with interface but really is great for moving files etc. I use it to over files on/from/to my htpc if the wife is watching her junk. Just make sure you have a static ip on your pc to allow for auto login when you open app rather than scanning and login in every time
ist about that you are awesome because tou are imaginary or exist in another world
Hi
Both Intel (My WiFi Dashboard) and Qualcomm-Atheros (Direct Connection) have a client that is supposed to be "WiFi direct" certified and should allow for Direct Peer-Peer connection between the Phone and PC without the need for an access point or other routing device.
I have been unable to get either to work with my SGH-i927 Captivate Glide !
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/wireless-products/my-wifi-technology.html
The only place I could find the Atheros client was on OEM sites like this for Dell(Sony and HP also have it)

Hello,
I've found one bug in my SGS3. It is stock and currently not even rooted - XXLFB. If I want to upload a photo into Dropbox with a 3G connection (or EDGE if 3G isn't available), upload transfer stops at about 10% - 20%. Also if I send a photo via email, email stays in Outbox folder and doesn't move (I guess because of same reason). Both works well when I have Wlan connection. Does anyone know what is wrong and how to fix this? Thanx
Hi all.
I recently got the Z3 Compact and was enthusiastic about its WiFi transfer speeds when connected to my PC. My earlier phone the Nokia 5800 XM did it at a pretty good speed, and so I was expecting the 5 year jump to a new phone with newer technology would have massively improved on the network file transfer speed.
I tried 2 ways to transfer huge files (1 GB+) to and fro between my PC & the phone.
1.) I used the a couple of the many WiFi Transfer Apps, including Wifi File Transfer Pro & Airdroid.
2.) I turned on an FTP server on my phone via the FTPServer & My FTP Server apps, and then tried the file transferring using FileZilla on my PC.
However, even after using both the methods, I noticed that I was only getting speeds of about 3 MBps. I read in one of the forum threads that the speed might be getting slowed down due to "encryption" while using a non-ftp server based method, and that is why I gave the FTP Server method a try as well. To no avail though.
My Wi-Fi router is the Digisol DG-BG4100N and it boasts of bollocky 100 Mbps+ speeds. My PC is the Asus SX086D K55VM.
What am I doing wrong here? How do I get a faster transfer rate? Xender easily does 5 MBps on an average between two devices. Surely, the PC should be able to equalize that speed, if not better it, right? Thanks a ton for any suggestion you'd like to make, including your own method of the fastest wireless file transfer method between a PC and an Android device.
