Issues with Wifi Direct - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys,
I'm Having issues with Wifi Direct on my SGS3 lately. Probably after the recent frequent updates from samsung.
Cell is not rooted which removes the possibility of any custom rom and associated problems.
SGS3 is being detected as a compatible wifi direct device by N5 and others, but not able to receive or send any file after pairing.
When anyone attempts to send me files,they get a message "File Tranfer Failed" automatically.
When I attempt to send files to the anyone's phone they do not get a prompt asking them to accept/reject the file.It just asks for pairing and then sits idle.
Anyone else facing this issue ?​Any Idea what would fix it ?

[Q] Bt issue

I have some problems with incoming Bt connections... For example, trying to send a file from my pc results in a "service not found" message.
Idea of how to fix this, without using apps like Bt file transfer and similar?
Sent from my Galaxy Ace on GLSMT 2.1 with XDA app.
Issue came after istalling new V6 Supercharger version (RC4). Nobody faced the same issue?
Edit: Posting this to help who may have the same problem (or not, who cares XP). Activating Bt just as soon as the phone boots up (before all apps/scripts/etc get loaded) makes it work correctly!
...though data connection won't work this way.
Wi-Fi works but no data. To have it run I have to reboot again without Bt (nor Wi-Fi) active.
I'm still trying to get to the point, because I really don't know how to get out of this (little but annoying) trouble.
Any help would be really appreciated, since I'd been blowing my mind on it in the past 2 days... >.>

Wifi Direct Issue

Helllo
I am facing an issue with wifi direct which is kinda weird,
I can normally turn it on, and connect to other devices and even send, but i cannot however receive anything...
my friend tries to share something with wifi direct , and finds my name under list of available wifi direct devices.
I get the popup to accept the connection, and then his phone goes into waiting
and my phone never shows the pop up to accept or cancel
So my friend's phone keeps waiting.
It was already working normally, dunno why it isnt anymore
I can normally send stuff however using wifi direct. so at least i can tell it isnt a hardware issue
I am using checkrom v4 mod with speed mod kernel
and i already wiped both dalvik and cache partitions
also i tried to change themes and kernels with no luck
Any body has any idea what i can do to debug this?
*am sorry if this isnt the place to post it, or if this has been posted before, i already searched everywhere but didnt find any similar issue*
any one?
any ideas on what i can do for this?
How can i see a log of what is happening ?

Bluetooth: Do you want to receive this file?

I just installed ICS (Captivate i897)and working out some bugs. One annoying feature is having to accept every time I send a file from my pc to my phone via Bluetooth. " Do you want to receive this file?"
Does anyone know of a way to turn that off?
Thank you

[Q] Interfacing with car messaging (MAP)

Hi All,
I am looking for bluetooth support. I think the rel, evant feature is called MAP (Message Application Program).
I am such a noob, but I have a very interesting problem that i hope will wet the appetite of the very smart people here...If this is the wrong place to post this thread, please redirect me.
I have a 2013 Mazda 3 that is equipped with a bluetooth system. It has some kind of interface (not even sure what to call it), that will download text messages from compatible phones. My phone is compatible, it is an LG Spectrum. When I first sync'd it with the car, it did download the messages as designed. Then, for some reason, it just stopped downloading them. The car gives a message "download failed. Try again later". I feel pretty strongly that this is a phone issue, not a car issue.
I'm on android system 4.0.4 (ICS, I think?) I've tried unpairing the phone and deleting the profile on both the car and the phone, then pulling the battery out of the phone while it was turned on. Same results.
Can anybody think of any reason this would have stopped working? Any suggestions on what I might try next? During the time the phone stopped downloading messages, I think there was an update to the phone. If that is the problem is there a way to un-update it?
Thank you for any assistance you may be able to offer.

I have the same issue I posted just a few moments ago on the T mobile Note 3 Q and A section.

[Q] Please Help! Fixing a Tablet.

I'm having some serious issues trying to fix my girlfriends tablet. It's a Motorola Xoom running Android 4.1.2. The issue it's having is that even though the tablet is connected to the internet none of the apps (play store, YouTube, etc) will connect. They all say 'no internet connection'. The only way I know the tablet is actually connected to Wi-Fi is that the internet browser still works. This might be unrelated to the issue but every single website I go to it gives me the warning 'Security warning: There are problems with the security certificate for this site'. It's very annoying. Sometimes I will have to hit cancel 10 times before the warning goes away.
I'm hoping that this is something I can fix without doing a complete reset because there are pictures and stuff I don't want to lose. Since I can't connect to google play I can't back them up to am app like dropbox either.
I hope someone here can help me fix this, thanks in advance.
Okay well if anyone is wondering I found a fix for this. Somehow the date reverted back to 01/02/1999 and I had to go to the date and time settings and sync it with the network. Hopefully this will help solve someones future frustration since I couldn't find a single thing about this after hours of searching for a solution.
