Hello,
I have tried yesterday to share a big file via wifi direct between Nexus 4 and a Galaxy S3. I could establish a connection between the 2 devices, but there is no way to share a file without a third party app that have be install on the 2 devices!!! On the Nexus 4 there was no point "Wifi Direct" under "sharing" to send a file. On the S3 there was the point "Wifi direct". But If I send a file, there come "waiting for receiver", but on my Nexus 4 doesn't come any notification to confirm the recipience. Isn't wifi direct a standard, that should work between all devices?!
Is the really no possibility to share a file via wifi direct between 2 devices without 3rd party apps only with on board resources?
I am reallly little bit disappointed from the Nexus 4. OTG doesn't work, wifi direct can share and receive any files.
Works wifi direct on CM10.1? Can you send files there?
Regards
Greg

i think s-beam is proprietary. while it uses wifi direct.... it will only be compatible with other samsung devices. so yah... you would essentially need and app on both. i am just making an educated guess here and am only posting so ill be subbed and be able to keep track of what unfolds.
Yeah, I think Samsung's version is called s beam, I'm guessing the proprietary version is overriding WiFi direct.. Maybe try turning on both the NFC and WiFi direct at the same time? I'll experiment with my tablet and phone to see.

But S-beam is using NFC and wifi direct and both phones has to be very near together or not. I want send a file over a longer distance e.g 3 meters only over wifi direct.

Is there any hope for having wifi file share feature on blade .
Few days ago I have seen two of my friends having Samsung galaxy note which has WIFI DIRECT. The file transfer through WIFI DIRECT is amazingly fast. My friend got 100MB transfered in around 30seconds on his galaxy note running gingerbread .
I'm wondering if this feature is hardware only or will it come to all devices sometime in the future. I think ics has APIs to it but is it hardware-only..??

You can download File Expert from Play store and use that to setup FTP and share files through wifi or network. I've used it and it is indeed very fast.

But what I'm talking about doesn't require internet access point to share files.
WIFI DIRECT between two phones without even having internet access to both phones. Just like Bluetooth file sharing between devices.

No.
WIFI DIRECT is like local wifi file sharing without any interference of mobile networks or access point.
In file manager when we long press on file and select share , there will be option to send file via wifi direct. Then one device has to create a local wifi network and other device has to connect to same network. But it won't need mobile network or 3G or access point or any hotspot connected.

basically, this feature to share file b/w devices without any router(access point) is called WIFI DIRECT. I am not sure that this feature if fully dependent on hardware or may be software dependent but I with my brother making a very similar app whicg sends files between devices without using any access point.
It is 90% complete now and soon we will publish it in the play store (android market).
it does not require any user interpretation u just have to send file like u send through bluetooth. it gives 2.5-3.0 MBps speed.
so plzz wait for our upload and appreciate our work if like it.

Hey all the best for the work on this.
Yes my bad , the feature is WIFI DIRECT and not wifi file share. I would appreciate it.
The meaning of wifi has always something to do with internet access point which is useless for file sharing if we have a less speed internet (high speed wifi device with low speed internet where internet speed limits the transfer speed). I always wished to have wifi file transfers without the access point and haven't yet found anything similar other than the wifi direct on newer devices.
Once again all the best and im eagerly waiting for ur app.

Has anyone tried using Wifi Direct to transfers files between devices? I tried to do it between my N7 and SGS2 and it always seems to fail.
Also anyone know if you can use Wifi Direct between an android device and a laptop/computer?
Also interested. I cannot get it to work via One X and nexus 7

Tried to install the Intel Wifi Direct Dashboard on my desktop PC, but had a permission problem with one registry entry, even though I'm an administrator. Will try later with my netbook. Anyway, this software is needed in order to communicate between a phone/tablet with Wifi Direct and a PC.

See my corrected response above - I'm working on connecting to a PC using Intel software on the PC. Don't know about connecting to other phones/tablets - I'd think they would work if they also have Wifi Direct.
Have the same issue with my Galaxy Note running stock ICS rom
if you want to connect from android device to android device there's one (and only one) app to do it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.budius.WiFiShoot
this was developed by yours truly, and I did exactly because I noticed there was nothing to make it work.
I tested it between Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus, Asus TF300 and Galaxy SII (stock ICS) and all worked fine.
The most problematic of those were the Galaxy Nexus that not always want to connect, but between N7-GalaxySII was flawless.
At the moment the app just works for photo and video but I'll be expanding more, if you guys fancy helping spreading the word about it, I'm really looking forward to see the downloads explode on it.
Alright i been trying to decide between transformer and nexus 7. I just spent the last hour trying to transfer a video file from my galaxy s3 to the transformer. I have yet to be able to do so, i used an app called wifi shoot and was able to transfer to the N7 but since there is no Wi-Fi direct on the transformer jelly bean update does anyone have an alternative?
But not looking for FTP servers.

I would suggest to try free variants like Swift FTP server. Have been using it from the beginning of my android adventure, works flawlessly
Use a FTP client like FileZilla to configure the device. Assign manual IPs for each of your android devices in your router and save as different devices in FileZilla, click and connect over WiFi.
The transfer speed is limited only by your WiFi connection speed.
This is one of the free software alternatives

That won't work while i'm on the go and don't have access to WiFi. Was in the car with both tablets and needed to transfer a file from my phone to the tablets and with WiFi-Direct and WiFi Shoot it was a snap and the file was transferred within a minute on the Nexus 7, I have yet to do this on the Transformer do to the lack of WiFi Direct.
Why in the world would Asus REMOVE WiFi Direct in the JB update?
I don't want to start FTP server on the phone and share a hotspot etc WiFi Direct with WiFi Shoot was so simple and effective.
Anyway to add it back without flashing CM9/10?
@nooktablet
will have to try that and hopefully it works.

sorry but it won't work, because you still need a wifi hotspot to make it work, and you said you're in a car you don't have wifi hotspot,
basically either FTP or Wifi transfer pro or any WiFi transfer method still requires you to have a wifi hotspot to work, this wifi hotspot is where the 2 devices can transfer files, this wifi hotspot does NOT need internet connection, so even if your wifi hotspot can't go to internet, you can still use it to transfer files.
so what's the solution? use your android to create a virtual wifi hotspot? how? i don't know . on computer i usually use connectify. i believe on android there should be a way to do it.
hopefully you understood what i meant, 'cause i'm not good at explaining

that is the most likely app that works similar to wifi direct and wifi shoot.
@Others
I can create a wifi hotspot with the s3 and did that while in the car for internet on the tablet. Its just I don't want to create a hotspot then start a FTP server every time i need to transfer a file on the go or carry cables. If i ever take my tablet on the go its mainly to watch videos or play games but not for browsing the web so it that sense wifi direct was such a simple way to transfer files.
Bluetooth file transfer might have to do until the JB bootloaders security are beaten and i can install CM9/10.
EDIT:
Using bluetooth file transfer and trying to transfer a 300MB avi will take at least 15 minutes which is extremely slow, god i hate why they removed features. I wish i could install CM, anyone have any idea if that will be possible in the near future or are we in for a long wait?

in case you are still interested in options of sharing thru wi-fi or wi-fi direct, please check out my app "PeerDeviceNet" which does exactly that and more. it supports android2.2+, allowing sharing web pages, contacts, photos videos and other docs. in my own tests, i tried to send 2G file successfully. it has been on google market for a while. unfortunately i cannot post the link here (too new to post external links). you can find the links at my web site: peerdevicenet.net , or search for it at google play.
hope it helps.

Have you tried the app X-Link? Does what you need (File transfers via wifi network across devices).
these are all great suggestions but all require the devices to be on the same network. So this will not work if i'm sitting on train or something which is why wifi direct was so easy and did not require devices to be connected to a wifi network.
I know i can still do this and use any of the above apps using wifi hotspot and will try them out.

Hi,
Has anyone successfully shared files via NFC or WiFi direct?
File sharing between the Samsung Note II & Nexus 4 isnt' working for me.
Isn't working for me either. I don't even have the option to transfer via NFC and note II can't find Nexus 4 for WiFi Direct.
I used Bluetooth at last.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Neither bluetooth nor WiFi direct is working for transferring files.
As for NFC - we just managed to get it working - had to bang! (tap ) the devices together but the only thing we could send over were links - so if I'm running a youtube video in my browser I can tap that across or if I'm in an app and tap the phone - the app comes on on the other phone or it takes the user to the play store to download the app.
can't seem to be able to transfer files via NFC.
Just tried. Pictures works.
I have tried pictures with AT&T Note 2 and it works, im assuming files work also.
Note 2 user has to turn OFF their beam, and put NFC only. i forgot the name, its like galaxy beam or something.
nexus 4 turns on beam, note 2 is NFC only
Note-II users have the NFC beam or something & the S-Beam.
I'll try with pictures today but definitely haven't been able to share MP3's
Hello All-
As a previous Samsung Note owner, I would use WiFi direct to send files to any other brand phone around me. With my LG G2, I connect with WiFi direct to a samsung/HTC phone and pick the file. The menu only displays the Smartshare beam option, and no WiFi direct option. When I click Smartshare beam the other phone disconnects and I can't send to any other brand other than LG. I have tried disabling smartshare beam and other things, it almost seems that LG has prevented us from using WiFi direct with other non lg phones. Anyone have any ideas or work around that don't involve downloading a third party app? Any help is appreciated.

I tried to dig in to the settings and managed to send files between Galaxy S2 and LG G2
Its a little difficult ...first connect the two devices with WiFi direct check if the file shring is turned ON then do the following
here are the steps
1. Go to settings on LG G2 and click networks
2. click share and connect
3. now click on the menu button at the bottom it shows option "use DLNA feature" click it
4. it opens up window showing two icons at the top 1) library 2) player
5. click on library icon and select the source device (example Galaxy S2) then click allow access
6. click on the player icon and select "my phone"
7. this you can access data from galaxy s2 on your LG G2.
8. If you choose LG G2 as your library and open any folder say pictures
9. open the picture and there is the option of upload at the bottom (or tap on the picture and you will see it)
10.click upload and select device you want to send it to (here its galaxy S2
If you have any more questions please free to ask hope this is helpful
11. accept the file on galaxy S2 or similar device and there it is the file gets pushed to your other device from LG G2
I tried everything but even with the description above it won't work to send data vie Wifi-direct to other phones (non LG).
Is this a bug or is it supposed to be like this? If so this was my last LG phone for sure!
I love wifi direct because it's the easiest way to exchange data with others nearby. Not being able to use it with my "Top-of-theLine" Smartphone really sucks and lets me miss my crappy S3 mini.
Any suggestions anybody? Please! :crying:

Sorry for necroing. This is also my concern on my g3.
Difference of wifi direct and superbeam is wifi direct capable devices can transfer files using wifi direct even they are in the middle of the desert. All it needs is 2 devices both connected to each other. No need for router.
Superbeam needed a working router, a host, a client to connect both devices to use wifi transfer. So you need to find a router, connect your devices before you can use superbeam.
Both wifi direct and superbeam use wifi speed tranfer rate.

Superbeam DOES NOT NEED AN ACCESS POINT for transferring files.
I am always using Superbeam for transferring and in almost none of the cases there is a router present. Even if there is I still choose WiFi Direct because my G2 WiFi capabilities are far more advanced than my surrounding Access Points.
If both Devices are WiFi Direct Enabled, SuperBeam can use that for transferring files (which is my preferred method all the time). So it leaves it to you whether want to use an access point or WiFi direct for transfer. So you wont't have any problem in your desert.
If one of devices doesn't support WiFi direct, Its OK, SuperBeam makes your device an access point.
If sender device doesn't support WiFi Direct, but it supports WiFi AP, same as above.
If sender doesn't even support WiFi AP, then yes you need a router and an access point for transferring files.
Please use Google and search a little bit before your posting false experiences. If you at least have looked at Super Beam Google Play page ...

Yes my mistake. Im using superbeam on both my devices, galaxy note pro 12.2 and lg g3. Note pro is working properly but my g3 is not so i have to install superbeam to be able to send files through wifi direct.
Lg remove their capabilities to send and receive files using the default wifi direct application. They remove it to give way to their SmartShare Beam which is only exclusive to lg devices.
You can use the option wireless storage and connect the other phone in lan using the app ES file explorer.
