Wi-Fi Direct problems with sharing?

childoffred — Mon, 27 Jan 2014 03:42:15 GMT

Hi I need help connecting my Xperia SP with a Samsung Galaxy SII Plus using WI-FI Direct.
Both connect easily but when I send a small picture file using the Galaxy it fails after about 30 SEC's of trying. The reason given "Xperia!!!! File sharing not available" .
Sending a file from the Xperia to the Galaxy. The only sharing option using WI-FI Direct is "Officesuite WI-FI Direct" which seems to work OK.
It recognizes the Galaxy and when I press it, it sends but fails immediately no reason given. I think the problem is with the Xperia setup. It's not set up for sharing.
I have tried selecting Settings>more>Media server settings>Share content. Which ends up saying "Your content are published to the DIRECT-QQ-Android_!!! network." This is the correct connection.
But nothing changes still no luck. Both phones are running 4.1.2.
I tried this because I read the WI-FI Direct is faster, easier and more reliable than Bluetooth.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Both phones must have officesuite installef
Or try superbeam from playstore
Install it on both phones
And then try sharing
Hope it will work.
