Hi
Well, I wanted to know how to use wifi direct to send things to my friend. His phone has wifi direct and my black too, but I don't know how to use. I read that I need an app called wifi cast, and I found this app on smartworld. I installed the app, but I don't know what do I have to do.
Thanks
Short: I don't know, but if you want know something about my experiment
After nearly a year with my black I wanted to try this feature. I could connect a Galaxy S2 with my Black. Then I tried to send a file from the S2. Error. I searched for a possibility to send a file from the black over wifi-direct but, there is no button for that.
I assume that LG wants you to use "Smartshare", but afaik that works only with other LG devices.
Hi Swaddy
Thanks for the answer.
My friend has a galaxy note, and some weeks ago I could connect my black to his note, but I didn't send any pic to his phone. But this week, I tried to connect and I couldn't, don't know why. I guess smartshare doesn't send files, but thanks anyway

for now we can use wifi direct for sending pics videos between two optimus black only using wifi cast, i have two OB @ home so i tested it but when i want to send it to my galaxy s2 or my brother's galaxy note it gets connected through wifi direct but wifi cast doesn't show them so its not possible to transfer with other devices except optimus black
The most useful for me is Copying files between OB and PC using WiFi direct. I have read somewhere that the other device doesn't need to have the WiFi direct hardware feature. Everything can be enabled with software... but How?
I use file manager by rhythm software it has LAN capabilities so i can connect to my PC by IP address.

Sorry if this has been asked before, I've read lots of threads but cannot see anything...
Is there some way of doing video over IP from the phone (wifi / 3G) to a PC?
Take it easy before you flame me, its my first post
research microsoft portrait
Thanks for that, but having tried it the forward facing camera doesn't work and the performance is pants even over a g wifi link. Am I missing something?
Not sure what you're really trying to do, but if you want to use your phone as a web cam then check out webcameraplus. Still have to connect with data cable to pc because it connects through active sync/device manager.
are you asking if you can look through your phone's camera on your PC?
eg: Your phone is connect to an online service that enables and uses your phone's camera, then you would connect to that service from your pc and see through the phone's camera.....is that what you're trying to accomplish?
It should be able to be done, I had ran across a program not too long ago that allows you to control and see whats going on your mobile, it is able to connect through active sync/Device maneger and over the internet (wifi/3G) so you should be able turn on the camera from your pc and see through the camera from your pc.....I din't remember the name of it, but its out there.

Try a program called 'live media'. I believe its what your after. Let me know if it works as i have never tried it.

Hi to all
Had anyone managed to use SPB TV without problem using WIFI only?
I had installed SPB TV, I see the channels, when I choose a channel I see the guide, and the thumbnail of the channel, but when I press to see the picture ( channel streaming ) I have black picture, buffering is always at 0%
I use it with WIFI only
Everything else, Youtube, internet is working fine
works fine for me, wifi or not
You are using Galaxy Tab?
Why is not working with mine? have you any idea?
The same application in my iphone is working fine. using the same wifi
I have installed the same application in a chinese tablet having eclair 2.1 and it is not working. Same problem as the tab.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
It works flawlessly for me on wifi, but very badly on 3G. I usually get 3 bars 3G signal, so the signal can't get much better. Still poo though.
I dont use 3G, and I had disabled the use of 3g for data. For me streaming through wifi is not possible, I cannot find the reason why, Running the same application through my pc and iphone is working fine using the same network.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
Yes, I use it on my GT and an HTC HD2.
Hard to figure out why yours isn't working as there's really no option to set up in this program.
It requires a reliable 3G or WiFi conection to work, and while wifi at home should always be reliable, when connected to 3G I often get the channel logo, the guide and "instant picture" but then clicking on it I may get this error message: "impossible to connect to the TV server, check your internet connection".
But no buffer shows.
Maybe it's your wifi modem firewall problem so you have to open a special gate.
Streaming protocols for tablet might be different from phone and blocked for some reason.
Try on another WiFi and make sure you have the latest build of SPB TV
I installed it on mine last night and it works fine, though it`s mostly non English channels.
Hi to all
Very strange, I want you to do the above test to check through the broswer if you follow the links if you have picture, and with what application
I have no message about connection problem. I use Rottohammers Rom V2 but I don't think this is the problem.
I had sent a message in the SPB support, I will sent you the answers and the details of my case, If you have any idea.
I had tested it in three devices 2 tablets, iphone, and my PC
Read the details above
=======================================
Thank you for your message and interest in SPB Software.
Please, open this page in the browser on your device: http://www.spbgo.com/stest
You will see several links to video streams. Try launching the first three.
How do these streams play?
Best regards,

Hi and thank you for the quick answer
Very very strange what is happening here....
I tried it using 2 broswers, The stock and the Dolhin, I used 3 applications to open the streams, Stock Video application, mVideo Player, and Vplayer.
ALL SEVEN LINKS gives NO PICTURE ( Black picture ) Very strange.....
I tried to open all 7 links using VLC player on my PC running windows 7 and all links are playing Video very good.
I don't know what to guess
Using your windows application, I have very good picture on my PC
Using your iphone application , I have good picture on my iphone
Using the same application in my Galaxy Tab and in another Chinese tablet gives NO PICTURE
Since VLC on my PC has picture means that ISP has no problem ( My Pc is connected to my router with LAN cable and a static IP )
iphone and the 2 tablets are connected wireless to the same router with DHCP, Why iphone is working and not the tabs running android?
My router is very good one a Draytek Vigor 2710n I double checked, not changes are made to close rtsp streams ( There is no such choice in setup )
I tried to connect to the net with another access point I have a NETGEAR the same problem. ( The NETGEAR is only access point and it is connected to my Draytek Modem-router-Wifi, through a LAN cable,So if something is blocked in the modem, the NETGEAR will not give access I guess... )
I will going to be crazy, what else might be the cause of the problem??????
========================================
I had tried in my Pc using Android SDK virtual Pc and it is not working eather.
Thanks in advance
I'd suggest backing up your existing ROM and trying a wipe.
It may well be you have an application blocking access.
Of course, if you don't have ClockworkMod on your Tab, this is going to be a pain, but it's still probably the best course of action at this stage.
FWIW, I'm running the MoDaCo ROM, and SPB TV works perfectly for me. I was surprised to find it was a free app now, as I purchased it ages ago on my Hero, but never bothered installing it on my later phones/tablet.
Regards,
Dave
Hi
If you read my post you will see that SPB TV it is not working
in my Galaxy Tab, a Chinese Tablet running Eclair 2.1, and in the virtual PC Running Android SDK
So I think it is not ROM problem.. Roto V2 runs fine in my Tab
Please make the test above with the link sent to me by SPB support, to tell me the results, if with the stock broswer, and the stock video player you have picture folowing the links
Thanks

I did read your post! If you *read* my post, you will see that SPB TV *is* working for me. Therefore, testing the links you provided is a pointless exercise, because naturally I'd expect them to work if the app does, but regardless of this I've tested and yes they are fine. I also never stated that it was a ROM problem - I said that another application may be blocking access.
So - what have we established:
1. There is nothing wrong with the application on my Galaxy Tab
2. There is nothing wrong with streams on my Galaxy Tab
3. Other than you, everyone else who has posted on this thread is not having issues with SPB TV on their Galaxy Tabs.
This doesn't help you at all unless you are prepared to take some advice and actually try something different.
Blithely stating it is not a ROM problem when it quite possibly is is just nonsense, when thus far everyone else who has posted on this thread has said that it works for them!
Regards,
Dave
Hi my friend thanks for the detailed answer.
I said that I think it is not rom problem, because, SPB TV is not working in my chinese tab running eclair 2.1, and also in my PC running android sdk Froyo 2.2 virtual PC.
So if the application was running in the other two devices, it was sure, that something was going in my GalaxyTab
From the SPB tech they told me to open some ports, but I don't think this is the reason. Ports in the router are opened if you want others access something in your network
So the next thing to do is check the application in another network outside mine
Perhaps it is my ISP problem...
I had tried also to open the ports but no success.
I don't know what other to check my router is a Draytek Vigor 2710N
works for me too
Roto JMIv2 and everything works fine here, both on 3g and wifi.
Can't really imagine what kind of issue you stumbled upon...

Hi
Finally it is my router problem. I tried an old and cheaper roouter I had and it works fine, now in my router a draytek vigor vpn, i try to find out what is blocking rtsp. I had not set any blocking, I had emailed the Draytek Vigor support, to tell me how to fix the problem, only if I put the tabs ip in Dmz host it works, but I want the Dmz host for my Dvr.

Whats the problem? -(

Hi
can we share files/songs with two galaxy phones via wifi direct, like same as bluetooth?
Hello
I am not sure but It could be possible with Kies air.
Give a try ...!
I could share pictures with "Allshare" using my Note and my wife's Galaxy S Advance. Very easy to use

I'm a bit confused with regard to wifi direct. I understand that it can be used to send files from one phone to another, but is it also possible to send files from a PC (windows vista) to the Gnote via wifi direct?

Ahh Thanks.
The reason for my confusion came from watching a video on youtube which suggested that only one of the two devices needed to support wifi direct in order to connect.
yes we can share file like BT, but opposite device shud hav wifi direct available. (not available on all android)
Is it possible if modded on CM10 for WiDi to werk?? :thumbup:

Can anybody tell me how to use android beam and WiFi direct on o4x? I have tried every permutation and combination to get these working but failed only play store opens and says item not found
Don't understand what you mean.
You find the settings or those are not working? What do you exactly mean?
Maybe this process needs an app and that app is not available in your country .
Maybe .
I mean to say, when ever i am trying to receive the data from other device over nfc i.e. through android beam, i am unable to receive the data and android play store pops up searching for some app and as said earlier that app is not available for my country (may be) due to which a msg pops up which says"App not available" Can anybody help me to get rid of this?
Hi Kanad,
I have tested the NFC and Wifi direct with many phones (apart from LG). When you turn on NFC, go to your gallery open a picture and now place your phone's back(as lg has nfc at its back) to the area of any other NFC enabled phone. When you do so your phone will vibrate and a message will pop on your screen stating Touch to beam. Please note our NFC only transfers photos or some website page. It is not to be confused with Samsung android beam. Our NFC uses bluetooth while Samsung uses wifi.
Coming to wifi direct. We cannot transfer files even though we connect through wifi direct to any Samsung devices. For using wifi direct we need to have a program called wifi cast or fast file transfer.

I'm sorry for asking this stupid question, but is it possible to send or receive large files, like mkv or some sort with wifi direct?
I've tried sending some movies over wifi direct to LG L9 but always failed. I've always thought wifi direct has got the same inner working as bluetooth, is that correct?
Sorry for these silly questions, I'm quite a noob on Android.

The largest file I ever sent via Wifi Direct using Fast File Transfer is an archive file with the size of 276 MB and the transfer was successful. I haven't tried to send anything larger. Also, the transfer was from my friend's Lenovo K860 to my O4X

Hey, yes we can share files more than1 GB. You will require the right program. For Eg. Wifi Cast only supports pictures,etc. So fastfiletransfer can help you in this case.
Was trying to show someone wifi direct the other day and as it turns out it didn't want to work.
Went to album, selected a pic, pressed menu and share, scrolled down and there was no option for wifi direct.
I've also read that you have to pair with the device first.
I even tried an app that I used to use called SuperBeam which also didn't work.
Does anyone have this working?
I was attempting to send files to a Note 3, even android beam didn't work.
I don't use this feature all the time but it'd be nice to have a feature working if it's supposed to.
Cheers.
Superbeam works fine for me. 41mbps+ for large single file transfers

Same here. I was trying to connect via Wi-Fi to my TV Sony. I paired the devices but I never get it work and never displayed any pictures on the TV or even send them via Wi-Fi, I missing the option sending via Wi-Fi too. I don't know, I just give up.

for me it's mixed bag. sometimes it works like a charm, just press Throw, shows available devices, chosing one of them send the file to the output (photo, video, music). and sometimes - like after disconnecting and trying to connect again few minutes later - it doesn't work at all.
The point i'm trying to make is why on earth is it on the device if the device doesn't use it? I can't understand why a company would allow a protocol to be included and then not give the ability to use it?
On the vast majority of phone all you do is pick a file and select share, then choose wifi direct and off it goes, no need to be connected to wifi, infact you wouldn't even need a sim card to do it.
Such a stupid thing to happen and a bit awkward when someone with a sammy device is showing off a feature and even though yours has it it doesn't work lol.
I found myself saying "Ok just download this app" Bit long winded isn't it? I mean click share and click wifi direct job done, what gives ?
