I know you can enable wifi direct under more settings. But I can't find the option to send files through wifi direct. Does anyone know what's the problem? Or isn't this option integrated in Sense?
I've seen that a friend of mine can send files to me through wifi direct (with an SGS3). So I know this method works on android.
FYI I have an unrooted One S, so I'm running stock rom.
Thanks in advance.

I know this is an old thread, but does Wifi Direct work on a One S? I was hoping that the Jellybean update (4.1.1) would have sorted this problem, but I still cannot get it to work.
Just to let everyone know that after a bit of messing around I’ve managed to use Wifi Direct between the HTC One S and my Galaxy S3.
Note: HTC One S has been updated to version 4.1.1 so I’m not sure if that has made a difference or not, as I still cannot use wifi direct without a 3rd party app.
From the PlayStore, download app “Wifi Direct” and install on BOTH phones.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImRlLmo0dmVsaW4ud2lmaWRpcmVjdCJd
Run both apps on both phones, it seems to work better if use the HTC Ones S to click on connect to “GS3 name” and click on GS3 to accept the invitation. It will then say connected.
All you have to do then is use ES File Explorer on GS3 (or similar app), find the file you want to send, click and hold on that file, select Share, and click on the newer Wifi Direct symbol app that you have installed, not the Samsung Wifi Direct app.
Just done a test file of 350mb and that took about 2 mins

Hi everyone. I've been hearing mention of some sort of Internet Sharing application or addon to the comm manager, that would allow me to turn my phone into some sort of hub. I'd like to be able to use my phone's connection with my iPod Touch, (or perhaps, other devices), so my searching is what has lead me here.
However, I don't really know what the "defacto" modification is for getting this capability. I've seen several threads already. Also, they seem to lack in documentation. They come in cab files - would that mean I can just download and install from my phone right away?
So if anyone can recommend me a wifi sharing app, (preferably for the HTC Ozone), I would be very grateful.

Auugghh. The website logged me out, so I lost my entire post
Anyhow, I'll try and re-write what I had last time:
So I'd like to use 0.9.1, since it seems to be the last free version. I downloaded it and installed it ok, but I have no idea how to use it past that. Could you possibly link me to a guide, or detail it in here?
Well, I gave in at the airport and just downloaded the trial.
Very nice. I'm so glad that I can use a browser that was a least half thought out (safari mobile) rather than that Intermet explorer. What a waste of my unlimited data plan that would have been.
Although, I'd like to be able to use that free version of WMWifi if I could. So does anyone happen to have a guide for it?

Skype is not available in the Android Market in China or Japan.
Skype has been tested on HTC and Motorola devices with Android OS 2.1 and above. It may work on other Android phones, but we can’t guarantee full functionality or compatibility. We’re aware of some problems with the Samsung Galaxy S, and we’re looking to address these in the future.
It’s free to use Skype in a WiFi zone. If you use Skype with a mobile data connection, operator charges may apply, so we recommend an unlimited data plan.
In the US, Skype for Android phones works over WiFi only.
A fair use policy applies to unlimited subscriptions.

guess we have to wait some extra time
I downloaded it and installed it without problems I am able to login but after that no matter on what contact I click it shows Process com.skype.raider stopped unexpectedly ...
Says Galaxy S not supported yet
loads up contacts all fine for me though. i'll try a call later. how long until someone can make this work on a cell network?
Working on :
NeXus One and HTC Desire
not working on :
HTC Wildfire
it is working for milestone..
nice app, i like...
aaahhh!!
Not working on SGS! ! !
So no 3G calls in the US, is this done via different APKs or are they detecting the IP login?
Anyone have a non-us apk they want to share to see if it works here?
i have to create a new account using my device (HTC HD2) now its up and running
my previous account which i created online on my pc could not log in
All,
Now that Skype is available on the Android market, has anyone managed to extract the apk file (It is still not available in the market in all regions)
thanks in advance
Anyone have an alternative download for Skype? Blocked in China so can't get it from the Marketplace or from Skype.com
Just replaced iPhone3 with DesireHD and lost Skype functionality - among other things. Still LOVE the DHD though

did you have any luck yet ? i am in china - searching for a android skype installer .... please help to tunnel the great (fire)wall
The new one works fine over phone's network. But still does not have front cam video support. I found a link to one that was supposed to work for the TB and have front cam support but it would not let me login. And it wasn’t an account issue as I can login fine on the one without front cam support....
Oh well....
And the list of contacts remains at the account?
Works on my defy
i have downloaded skype and it works on my Advent vega tablet but how do i set up the built-in camera to work during calls if possible??
I have the apk which used to work before over 3G, but it doesn't seem to work anymore.
Does anyone have a new version of it, or know why the old hacked skype.apk doesn't work anymore? Now it just keeps telling me that my sign in name doesn't exist
I also installed the hacked APK that you're referring to. I just checked it on my and it's still working like usual. Perhaps you set it to auto-update in the Market and it got overwritten by an unhacked install? That's what happened to me, and I had to uninstall and reinstall with the hacked APK.
I could have sworn that there was a thread somewhere in these N1 forums which was all about the hacked Skype 3G APK. If you've already run a search, please ignore. If not though, I'd suggest you take a crack at the search function whenever you're in doubt.
Anyhow, I believe this is the thread where I first downloaded the working Skype 3G APK: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/78843-apks-unlocked-apps.html
At the very least, it's definitely the same dude-- I remember that username.
Good luck, and happy VOIPing
I'm confused. How come Skype won't work over 3G for you? It works perfectly fine for me, downloaded straight from the market. I've had hours of conversations on it.
Skype has a contract with Verizon in the States to only do 3G Skype with them. It's restricted to Wifi only on all other carriers.
Oh that must really suck. And here I thought the carriers in Canada sucked. At least I get Skype over 3G here. Canada only mostly sucks now.

I had the same problem today... I found out my problem was my new keyboard (Swiftkey) automatically added an additional space after my name. Following this correction, I placed a call over 3G without issue. Maybe that could be your issue too.
Hello,
I have installed the Hacked 3g version on my verizon galaxy tab and no matter what I do, my wife and I can not talk to each other, the connection seems laggy and our voices cut in and out. MY wife uses a mytouch on tmobile till we get the money to get her a verizon upgrade.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
Hi guys,
I just bought a new HTC inspire with froyo 2.2 from ATT in the US unlocked. Now I sent this phone to my bro in Peru, where he had a HTC aria without any problems.
Phone works great but we can not install skype. We can not even find it in the android market. I tried to download it from skype.com/m but I cant. It says (this item is not available in your carrier). However as I told you he has an HTC aria with the same phone carrier and uses skype there without a problem.
How can I fix this ????
Thanks
..Sorry was on my phone and posted to the wrong thread.....lol

Have you tried turning off data and accessing the market through wifi only?
If the phone is rooted use market enabler not sure if works with unrooted ones, also try 4shared app from 4shared.com to find Skype apk, can have issues tho until u download the right apk for ur device
Problem fixed!
I had Skype up and running on my Android, but my phone's hardware died and went to Hades. I received a replacement phone; when I tried to re-load Skype, I found it didn't even show up on the Android Market! I tried other application download engines, as well as the download link from Skype.Com, all with the same result.
After hours of agonizing with Skype and Sprint tech support, and getting nowhere, I spent about 7 hours reviewing, over and over, my Android's settings. I finally resolved it thus:
1. Open the Android Market
2. Choose "Settings."
3. Change the "Content Filtering" maturity rating to "Medium."
And that's it! I don't understand why Skype requires a slightly immoral maturity rating, since the app is positively "G" rated, and I've already complained to them about that.
Good luck!
Hi, can yur tab plus send / receive file via Bluetooth? I am trying to send photo or mp3 from my HTC to my tab plus via Bluetooth.... but it doesn't work.
Any one hv the same problem?
What should I do to make it works?
Thanks a lot.....
:screwy: it may be a stupid quest but, which feedbacks do you get from your devices?
Such as "0 sent, 1 failed" feedback? Does your 7+ show you notifications of bluetooth coming files or doesn't it? If negative (another stupid quest) is it visible and reachable?
Did you try to send/receive from/to another device instead of your HTC?
Sent from my Galaxy Note with DarkyROM 3.3
I already paired my tab plus with both my htc touch pro 2 n htc IS.
when i try to send file from my both htc device to my tab plus, there is no notification shown in my tab plus. However, there are notification shown in both my htc device saying thay failed to sent file.
Did yur tab plus work in bt file transfer? Tq
Ok so I could give you an example. The same thing happened to me with my Moto Xoom. I couldn't send files to my Xoom from my Note (with custom ROM) when I had the stock rom on it. Then happened the opposite situation and all I can say with my experience is that it just depends from Roms/Devices
I repeat I got your same issue trying to send files from a single device (example my Note) to my Xoom. But Xoom receives files from others and the Note normally sends files to other devices... It's a mistery. No issue with my P6200 anyway
Sent from my GT-P6200 using xda premium
For those having this issue, (like me) I found a solution that works better than what I am used to.
Just go to the Play store and download the Bluetooth File Transfer app. This works like a charm and allows me to transfer files and quick bluetooth shutdown when done transferring.
I still can't figure out why transferring files do not work out of the box though. Anyone find a native workaround?
U don need to install apps... if yur tab can't receive file, u try send one file via bt to other device. After that, yur tab might be able to receive file via bt from other device .... I tried n it works ...
