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:

Samsung worked for me to other phones but not LG...
And Superbeam only works if the other person has superbeam installed as well if im right... thats just uncomfortable.
I'm just wondering if this is how it's supposed to be?
No update or solution for this?
I'm having this issues myself. I just don't think using Superbeam is a long-term solution to this problem.

Superbeam doesn't need a client and works with any device that has WiFi (it doesn't have to even have WiFi direct)

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.

Where are the settings for wifi direct
i'd really like to know how to use wifi direct too. the only hint at what to do is in a android forums post where they talk about kies air, but as far as i understand, and in practice on my device, kies air requires you to be connected to the same wifi network - i.e. it works like dlna, not wifi direct. when i go to wifi direct settings and try to scan, it never finds anything.
trying to connect to a network from the pc end using the details under "configure wifi direct" doesn't do anything ether.
please, if anybody has it working, let us know how you did it!

thankyou, but it doesn't work like that for me. the phone example was two wifi direct devices connecting (which i don't have) and the pc was ether wifi direct certified too or im doing something wrong. is there a special server client or something to install to enable wifi direct on a laptop? as i said, i have tried entering the same network details as are shown in the wifi direct settings manually, and tried waiting for ages since the guy in the video says it takes a while, but no luck so far.
Hey guys... The wifi-direct certifier said, that they got a galaxy s II with a fully working wifi direct. They cant explain why samsung limited this feature...
Samsung didnt make a statement yet.
I hope i can add the source tomorrow (read in on a popular online magazine)

thanks a lot for this article
also Lg Black has problems with wifi direct
Not sure whats the trouble with my N7. My Win 8 laptop fails to see it in the MTP mode. It does see it sometimes if I change to PTP but then the data copying capabilities get limited.
I was trying to capitalize the "WiFi Direct" to move files from my Note-2 to N7 but looks like there as well are some problems. I can pair but I can't transfer no files.
Are there any options other than the USB OTG? I personally hate carrying extra stuff, however small it be. Since the phone would always be with me, its the most logical thing to carry all the data (have odd 40gigs available) on the phone and transfer to the N7 wherever the need be.
Anyone ?
Bluetooth?
If you don't want to go otg then I don't see any other option if wifi won't work.

Bluetooth is slower than a snail.
The issue is some frakked up rights issue. The devices pair fine via wifi. The transfer gets rolled down by some "Transfer not allowed" $hit. Even NFC doesn't seem to be complying.
I am very sure some custom ROM would get that fixed but then what is the point? I need pure google experience.
May be some app on play store?
In the worst case I'll sell this thing off. The Note-2 is good enough for most of my needs except for movie watching (and book reading (and internet browsing (and timely updates (and simplicity (and.....:silly))))

Good option while at my home but not when I am on the move. Transferring big files is again a hassle. Not to mention the data network dependency. I just need something which can workout directly between the Note-2 and N7.
Installhttp://fdmobileinventions.blogspot.com/p/fast-file-transfer.html on phone. It uses WiFi tether in your phone. On tablet to receive file(s) you need to connect to WiFi and enter link in browser. I bookmarked link for easy use.
No data connection on phone required.
I've used AirDroid to transfer files between two Nexus 7 tablets. They need to both be on the same WiFi network so it is not direct. Just install and start AirDroid on your Nexus. Then direct the browser on your Samsung to the web address and enter the password - both listed on the Nexus. Files can be transferred in either direction. No need to install AirDroid on the Samsung.
You can also connect your Nexus to your PC this way.
Nexus Media Importer is another possibility. It will import files from a flash drive to your Nexus over an OTG USB cable but will not transfer files from the Nexus to the flash drive.

Thanks to both of you but unfortunately thats not what I am looking at. I wish to have direct transfer, without needing any extra wifi router to be dependent upon. At home I have this Belkin N600 to which I can attach my 1TB USB drive and all the data is available over the network. Accessing stuff at home is not a problem. On the go, I don't have high speed internet or my LAN. Thats where I am seeking possibilities.

You haven't read well enough. You don't need WiFi router nor data conection with 'fast file transfer'. it uses wifi tether from your phone and sends files directly to your tab. Try it, its free.
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.

i would stick wifi shoot on there and be done with it.
I want to make my tablet a Wi-Fi hotspot so I can share files by connecting my phone to the tablet Wi-Fi ap, and start a ftp server.
Can it be done? I tried foxfi but it crashed when I tried to enable AP.
I can use my phones tether option, but when I do my ftp app says "please connect to a network"
Thanks

Im confused what you are trying to accomplish. If you host the FTP on your phone, and want to connect the Nexus 10 to the FTP to share files, then all you do is on your phone turn on wifi tether, and connect to the wireless network the phone creates from your N10. I dont think it is possible to make a tablet an access point that doesnt have a cell service internet connection. In order for the Nexus 10 to be an "access point" it would actually be just a repeater from your routers (or phones, or whatever) internet connection. But you already have that on your phone and by making your phone the hotspot you just connect your tablet to the phone like it was connecting to any normal wireless network.

No, I just want my Nexus 10 to be able to HOST [read: have IP 192.168.43.1], to be able to connect my phone to it [192.168.43.105], so that my FTP app will see I really am connected to wifi.
In tether mode, phone has 192.168.43.1, however the app doesn't recognize it as being connected since it's in tether, and not regularly connected to wifi, and will not start because it says Please connect to a network.
This is why I would like my Nexus 10 to host an infrastructure network.
Well sorry but I dont know how to help you with that sort of setup. or if it will even work. I highly doubt it will work since normally you MUST be on data to start a tether. This is because it configured your wifi radio for a different mode that allows others to connect. I dont think it is possible to have the same radio be configured in two separate ways at the same time.
WHy not just do what the majority of people do and get a dropbox for free and host the files there. Your tablet and phone will both be able to access it.

You are really wrong on a lot of points [you do not need an actual data connection/plan to start a tether network, on pretty much any phone that supports it], you really don't know, I understand, but please stop saying "it can't be done," or just stop replying. Also I cannot just use dropbox because it would take a zillion years to upload 4GB movies. And when I'm traveling [like now] I do not always have wifi.
lol. Wow dude what a **** post. Here I am trying to help you and you be a complete ass about it my suggestion? I thought of soemthing that might work and was going to post it but since you feel like telling me to go **** myself then same to you buddy.
I think I am picking up what you are laying down.
You want to start a wireless network between your N10 and your phone without using a wireless router or access point device.
If you were trying this back in the old days you would simply use a ethernet cross over cable between two ethernet cards and set them to have the same subnet.
Can't say that I know how to do this though with wireless networking.

This is the type of thing Wifi Direct is supposed to be for. The Nexus 10 supports that, it's under the menu in wireless settings. Not sure if your phone does, of course.
Also, depending on AP settings, two devices (clients) on the same wireless network can communicate with each other. It's relayed through the AP, so it will be somewhat slower.

Still not clear as to what the problem is. Since both on 192.168 non-routable networks presumably they are sitting next to one another. Then who cares which device is the AP? One should be able to run ftp server and the other ftp client. Since he doesn't need data then it seems ftp is just to access one device from the over - no true tether for external data.

Here's what I did and it works to share files between phone and tablet without PC using ftp. Both devices running ES File Explorer. Droid Charge phone hotspot started - has IP address 192.168.43.1. Turn on ftp server within es file explorer on phone. Connect to phone from tablet over WiFi. Phone assigns tablet IP address - in this case 192.168.43.131. On the tablet open es file explorer and define the ftp server that is running on the phone. Once done perform the ftp connection from the tablet to the phone. You can then ftp between the two for as much as you want.
I am paying for phone tethering app on phone. The apps I see in the market seem to identify issues with JB or seem just too old to depend on. Regardless, if you just want to ftp between the two you do not need tethering. You need an app that will act as a hotspot managing devices, security and IP addresses. Another option is a cheap portable access point. Again, you keep focusing on ftp - not the internet. The ap creates a WiFi network that your phone and tablet can connect to - no different than a crossover cable between two wired Ethernet devices. As long as the both are on the same network you are good to go.
BTW - you may think you've perfectly explained what you are looking for answers to. You have not so you should not be too surprised at some of the answers.

Not sure if it's what your looking for, but how about http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ ?
When I tether my tablet to my phone (haven't tried other way around), it see's its WiFi as a normal WiFi, not as a mobile hotspot or anything. There's different device profiles to choose from, and I think a choice for either ad-hoc or infrastructure; and it's free
Instantly stream from phone to tablet? If that is all you need then the tablet does not need to function as AP - the phone can do it. All you need is the two units on the same network.
I'm done with this thread. Good luck.

I need a router in my room, and my phone has a tether mode that acts as a router [192.168.43.1, gives DHCP IPs, etc]. The only thing, the program I used ["FTP server"] doesn't recognize I have a 192.168 IP, because it sees the regular wifi is off [and tethering is on, which I solely use as a router, not internet].
I will look into the other file manager mentioned, it sounds like it might be able to do what I'm looking for. thanks

Not sure if it's what your looking for, but how about http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ ?
When I tether my tablet to my phone (haven't tried other way around), it see's its WiFi as a normal WiFi, not as a mobile hotspot or anything. There's different device profiles to choose from, and I think a choice for either ad-hoc or infrastructure; and it's free

Yeah I did try this. It fails, the log says it failed to set SSID, and a couple other things that are mandatory in order for it to work. :S thanks

If all you want to do is stream movies and music, try searching Play store for a DLNA Media Server. A quick search on Google turned up many. You should be able to forget about what wireless router, IP, etc, - your phone/tablet should show up to the network as a DLNA Media Server.
The other solution with ES File Explorer will indeed work as a file access component. I use it at home to access movies on my home network.

Not. Its compatible for windows. You can transfer files pc to mobile / mobile to pc.
intrressing app but to pay for transfer files is kinda not worth it , also need to have internet for qr code so it need internet , i was more looking for an offline free one , one that an transfer files without having to scan a code just like usb/bt only via wifi direct since its faster
sutch a shame win7 don't have wifi direct options, although intel dashboard offers wifi direct but i have no clue howto send/recieve files trough it , but it does connect fine with it

I dont pay anything for transferring my files between my 3 phones(Pro vers.). -No needs to internet- it doesnt require an internet connection just needs wifi. Sometimes it gives 10-15 Mb download speed for a sec. Actually dont know much about pc to mobile, gonna check it.
With the. App I get. On regular WiFi 36Mbps and on WiFi direct 67Mbps but I can't find the pro apk witch I search for most apps since I'm rooted but its like 4x faster then USB 2.0

AirDroid?

Haven't used this in a while. If I remember correctly, app runs as a server on the phone. You can then use a browser to pull or push files from a PC.

Airdrop it's an apple products I doubt it work on Windows and android and i doubt its free to since its apple we talk about
interesting..was also looking for wifi direct transfer like windows>Android, and vice versa. Subscribed.
these apps are anoying, i mean it isnt like usb just drag and drop, to many handelings with wireless transfer, and then also bt doesn't showup into windows explorer, with the s3 i got an icon there so i can transfer small files over bt but with this device i don't get it at all eventhough its 3 generations newer

Hey. I tried to send my files with SuperBeam from windows to phone. Its quiet fast. Works good.
yes i use it to but its quite anying to startup the prog, then press send and drag drop files in it, then start app on pnone go to recieve, scan or enter code and then you get files,
i was hoping it was more easy like bt or usb, just connect and drag drop files on the path you want them but unlike my old nokia, samsung dont provide software for bt , wifi direct , its only the main prog and usb connect
