So, I'm one of the many who have a limited data plan so uploading my backups and stuff to the cloud has never been an option as data adds up quick.
I've see a lot of people not able to get WiFi direct to work so today I decided to give it a try. Its not as cut and dry as a S3 to S3 WiFi direct, but using WiFi direct with a little help with ES file Explorer is completely possible.
Remember, this is using WiFi direct, there is no routers or other devices other than my N7 and S3.
In this example, I'm going to transfer a 158 MB file.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, the first thing I did was open up the WiFi settings on both devices and went to WiFi Direct. I also renamed both devices to better ID them.
Once renamed, you can select from either device to connect. I just selected my S3 from the N7 device. The S3 in prompts for conformation.
The devices will display connected.
Now that you are connected, you are going to go to the device that you want to SEND FROM and open up ES file explorer. Go right to the menu and scroll down to remote settings.
Check "remote manage" and copy down that ftp address in full. If you close ES and have the close on exit check, you will lose the connection so do as you please with that settings. You can also set a password if you plan on doing this on the LAN level too.
Now, go to the receiving device. I had issues with chrome, but Firefox works fine. Plug in that ftp: //xxx.xxx.xx.xx:xxxx/ and hit go
Now you should get your sending devices directory. Have fun, transfer away.
ES explorer has settings to allow allow access to root if you are rooted so if you are enabled, be careful. Im not responsible for you messing with wrong files and crap.
Here is my transfer, notice the time from finish to complete. It took about 30 seconds.
This can be done from either device depending on what direction a file needs to go. You can save your FTP settings and bookmark too for easy access in the future.
You can use FTP on you WiFi at home. Passwords are recommended as your device will be available on the home network.
This is the only easy way I was able to get WiFi direct to work. Enjoy.

Because if you can I dont know how, I cant send them to it but not from it as it doesnt seem to have the option, which is stupid if thats the case
There's no bluetooth send option out of the box. A lot of 3rd party applications allow you to do it though.
Thats crap, for such an espensive fancy phone and it doesnt do it!, and yet my 10yr old Nokia does!
ofc you can send pictures. go to file explorer and press a bit on the file you want to sent and then select send via bluetooth. just like you would do in a pc
Ok thanks will try that.....btw whats "ofc"
ofc is "of course". and this works 100% i have done it.
But in the File Explorer you have no preview of the photo...just the name. So you have to search for the right one. It would be much better if there were an option to send the photo via bluetooth out of the Album. No big deal I think as there is send via MAIL, MESSAGE and FACEBOOK already. Best way at the moment is to use the windows "Album"...
start - pictures & video - find pic you want to send in teh preview pane - press and hold it, top option is 'send via bluetooth'
I think it need only some modifications/addings in Registry.
I found interesting path: HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\SendCommand and HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\SendCommand_Video:

With this example we can make new KEY "Bluetooth" and add following:
AgentName: dunno what here
CommandName_0415: Send via Bluetooth
CommandOrder: 0x5 (5)
Enable: 0x1 (1)
ModuleName: Send via Bluetooth

ok guys im allocating some nfc tags around the public bar i work at,.
i want to put 2 tags on the main bar that connect customers to our wifi, now i know i can do that with commands however
we are using a broadband system provided by heineken beer company, users connect the wifi network, but then must open theyre browser and click a default webpage that comes up instantly to connect to the network.
so how would i set the tags to
connect to the wifi and then click the "connect to heineken wifi" option on the default page?
Are you sure about NFC with its max range of about 20cm? Either way I would imagine that the WiFi hardware supplied takes care of redirecting the user at login

yes that is the idea, customer walks in touches the bar designated spot and connects to wifi,... we dont want a long distance force connect to every customer lol
the supplied wifi asks for the user to open webbrowser and click "use wifi" before actualy being connected. is there such command to get around this?
im on a secret mission to make our bar android friendly :highfive:
Could this the case?
To restrict wifi access to current customers and to make the connection easier (selecting correct wifi service and keying a strong passphrase) the customer touches the tablet onto the bar mounted NFC device and the network wifi config is beamed to the tablet and the customer elects to process the download and get immediate network access.

So let me explain what I'm trying to do. I am trying to connect to a Barco Clickshare (CSE-200) via wifi using the clickshare app and then open chrome and go to a website.
The Clickshare for those that don't know is a wireless content sharing device for meeting rooms. It's like a wireless access point but with no internet. You connect to it on your phone by connecting to its wifi SSID and password and then use the clickshare app to share content from your phone to a TV or whatever display the clickshare access point is connected to.
So when I connect to the clickshare wifi (which has no internet) I am no longer able to go to a website or use internet. My phone doesn't seem to be able to use my LTE service while the wifi is on. I talked to a guy at Barco and he said thats not normal. My LTE service should still be usable. My coworker who has the iPhone 6 is able to connect to the clickshare wifi and still use the internet on his phone from his LTE service.
I should note I am using the MSL/dun trick for hotspot.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Enable developer mode by tapping the build number in the about menu a bunch of times, then go to the new developer options menu at the bottom of the settings screen and turn on the keep mobile data turned on setting.
It's still possible that in the routing table on the phone the cellular data will be associated with a higher cost, and therefore the data still won't go over it even though it's enabled, bit worth a try.

I did what you said pitcherj, but no luck. I do now have the LTE icon at the top above the cell bars which before I didn't, but still no internet. Anything else I could try? I did restart the phone as well.
Nope, no thoughts. Without root you can't recost the network interfaces AFAIK. Maybe someone else has an idea.
