[Q][Sola] Wi-Fi Direct unstable - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi all, I'm learning the Wifi P2P (aka Wifi Direct) android API.
I'm using an Xperia Sola as development device, but I have a problem: when I turn on Wifi Direct from system settings, it happens very often that Wifi Direct automatically turns off!
I'm on ICS stock ROM. Is this a known bug? Does exists other ROMs in which Wifi Direct is stable and fully working?

I'm not sure about this, but now I have disabled "classic" Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct seems ok (no more disconnections).
Can anyone confirm this behavior?

[Q] WiFi always-on messes with direct push

Hello, I installed a cab that keeps wifi connection on even when the HD2 is in standby mode. So when I am home I have wifi on, but that messes with direct push. Apparently when the HD2 goes to standby, after a while it automatically disables the data connection (gprs,3g etc.) because wifi is on. direct push does not work over wifi, so after this it doesn't work at all... Is there any known solution?
Thanks in advance.
Why do you say direct push doesn't work over wifi? activesync works over wifi and I expect direct push to work also.

Wifi Tethering Disconnects

Hi there!
Im having an issue with Wifi Tethering.
Everything I use my Wi-Fi Tethering it connects then after a few mins it disconnects.. Its quite annoying...
Im using SGS3 Stock ROM (rooted) with Stay Awake
And im using MacBook Pro late 2011
Anyone here have a solution to this problem?
Solution found: (maybe not applicable to all)
After installing this application Wifi Scanner (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer)
I saw that there are lots of AP in my location and found out i have conflicts with one of the AP.
I changed my channel on wireless and it works!
Now im able to use WIFI Tethering without disconnection.
I hope this one could help users out there!
(currently running wifi tethering for morethan 8 hours )
Thanks!
no one having this issue?

Can Wi-Fi Direct be enabled in a device with Wi-Fi?

Is Wi-Fi Direct Software or Hardware feature. Is there any possible way to connect to a Wi-Fi Direct device from a device with only Wi-Fi support without using Superbeam or other apps that use Wifi hotspot feature.
In Wi-Fi Direct specification, it is written that "Only one of the Wi-Fi devices needs to be compliant with Wi-Fi Direct to establish a peer-to-peer connection that transfers data directly between each other with greatly reduced setup."
Thanks.

[Q] How to ignore BT Wifi Access Points?

I have just bought a Q88 Tablet which for the money is proving to be excellent but I have a niggly problem with wifi dropouts which has highlighted another issue as described below.
I don't have BT Broadband but my Android tablet shows BT_Wifi and BT_Wifi_with_FON during scans presumably from a neighbours house. Unlike other wifi access points there appears to be no way to tell Android to FORGET or IGNORE these blessed things as no option is given to do so when you click on them within wifi settings and they can cause delays sometimes when my tablet is trying to reconnect to my home router.
Anyone know of a way to tell Android to ignore these BT pain in the a**s access point broadcasts?
The options in my Q88 Advanced Wifi screen are as follows :-
Network notification
Keep wi-fi on during sleep
Avoid poor connections - I've switched this on to try and filter out neighbours broadcasts
Wifi optimisation
I'm using the 'wifi fixer' app to try and help resolve my dropout issues but as yet it doesn't have a way of telling Android to ignore BT requests.

WIFI issue on Z Ultra GPE with Android 5.0 (Lollipop)

Hi,
Has anyone had similar experience and (better yet) a solution to my issue with wifi connections since upgrading to 5.0?
After the update my Ultra Z GPE losses connection to my home wifi, and other wifi (public wifi,, friend's wifi). Once this happens the wifi app in settings does not see/list the wifi connection. I've tried turning wifi off/on, and refresh but my home wifi (and the public and friend's wifi) do not appear as available. The only solution I've found is to power off and back on again. But doing this several times a day is a pain.
TIA

Well my situation has changed, and perhaps a little less of a pain. Even though in Settings it shows my wifi is connected I am still frequently losing the connection. My apps (i.e., Google browser, Google Now, other apps, etc) do not load/refresh and indicate "No network connection. But now I can resolve the problem by toggling wifi off and on. Better than powering off and on but still a pain.

If your device is rooted try Wifi Connection Fixer ROOT by Zextr. The link is

Thank you for your response. But no my device is not rooted. However, I believe I found the cause of my wifi issue. Separate from my wifi issue I was having some issues with Google Now. So, I uninstalled the Google Now launcher. Guess what? My wifi issue is gone. I have not lost wifi connection since I uninstalled the Google Now launcher.
