A few months ago, when I had to send a big video to a friend's phone and realized that Bluetooth really sucks, I found out about WiFi Direct.
I googled a lot, but could not find a way to get it to work on my phone, although the I9000 was officially called the "first phone certified with WiFi Direct".
As I'm interested in programming, I started to research what I could do to develop an app that could send files at similar speeds and finally found out WiFi Tethering could work in combination with a simple HTTP server.
I started to write on the app in my free time, got it nearly ready, but stopped working on it because it became quite busy at school.
In the meantime I had switched my phone, but in the holidays I picked up the project again, finished the app and published it on Google Play. It's available there since about two months and received an update recently.:laugh:
I want to share this app with you guys now. It's free and I hope you'll find it useful.
The app allows for speeds of up to 32 Mbit/s, which means e.g. 1 Gigabyte in just over 4 minutes (depending on devices)
Features:
✔ Up to 20x speed of bluetooth
✔ The receiver is device-independent
✔ No need for a common Wi-Fi connection
✔ No data usage for file transfers
✔ The receiver does not have to have the app installed
✔ Send single or multiple files
✔ Easy to setup: Use QR codes to allow the receiver to easily connect to the wifi and open the receiving URL
Play Store Link:

I hope you find this useful!

Hi FD_
in next CM10 nightly WiFi direct will be removed.
Is this thing will affect your app ?

No, this won't affect Fast File Transfer.
As mentioned, the app uses WiFi tethering (and not WiFi direct) and therefore will still offer fast file transfers.
So don't worry if the next CM10 does not have WiFi Direct, just use Fast File Transfer instead :laugh:
thank you very much, galaxy i9000 was first device with wifi direct but i had never use it, will try it tomorrow with friend of my. thank you one more time...
Is it possible to make out a way to receive files also... would be more useful then...
Btw the app is very good as now i can shut the mouth of my frnds who show off...
Edit : had to install app in frnds phone and all good in receiving too...
Is there any chance that in future versions, the step of opening the browser or QR code, no need to do it ?
I mean, I do not see the need to open the browser on your second device because the two devices are "connected".
The way that this now appears that the second device downloads the file and not the first device sends it.
I hope I have explained.
Sorry for my english
try the app and it seems working for me

You could send multiple files once and create a bookmark to the index page in the browser on the recipient device.
Maybe I'll implement a simple receiving part in the next version.

This is technically impossible without having an app installed on the recipient's device. Maybe the receiving part mentioned above will help you, but it will require the receiver to have the app installed, if he wants to benefit from the "fast receiving" function.
Thanks for all your praise :laugh:
Very nice and handy app. Thank you.
Very nice, thnk you.

HI to all developers on XDA ! I hope you all are fine! I just wanted to request you guys that If possible then can you upload your future roms to megaupload ??? because it has got resume support! you know on unreliable connections its very risky to download files greater than 100mb without resume support!
Myself and a lot of other people around here will be very thankful to all of you!
Anything that's not RapidShare is great, because they always seem to be “full”.
the reason we upload to rapidshare is so we can get points for the downloads of our files, which we can convert to getting us premium priviledges, it will allow us to store the files on the server till the premium status expires.
mediafire ftw

I've files on my MediaFire account since it began, waaaay back
http://www.multiupload.com/ or torrent
Or, like regular developers, we could upload them to sites actually meant for hosting code, sourceforge, github etc.
If We try then everything is possible! Anyways all other file hosts EXCEPT RAPIDSHARE are GREAT!!! Atleast BETTER than rapidshare.

try jdownloader. java cross platform, set it up and hav it running in tray. whenever you come across a rs link just copy it to clipboard, open jdownloader and confirm, then just wait, no more interaction. you don't even have to open the rapidshare website in your browser.
edit: works for ~100 hosters, not only rapidshare. really great tool, i use it at the time.
For those of you who have been disappointed with the compression that T-Mobile applies to images downloaded across their mobile network, there is now a solution!
Go to accelerator. t-mobile. co. uk (sorry, can't post links yet) in your Desire's browser and choose from one of three options:
Highest speed = reduced image quality (recommended)
High speed = standard image quality
Lower speed = original image quality (not recommended)
Obviously, choosing original image quality means pages will load slower and use more data so it won't be for everyone, but at least it stops pictures from looking like a fuzzy mess .
According to this thread (support. t-mobile. co. uk/discussions/index?page=forums&topic=801038047a8ee12012a7f988ce0007fbe) at the T-Mobile support forums this may also work on other phones but you may have to spoof your user agent.
KazeXT; thank you, been waiting for a solution for this for a while now!
Oh my god!
many thanks!
to you and all your descendants!!!
thank you very much for this
edited off.
Looks like the site is down and my images are crap quality again. I hope they haven't shut it down for good!

I checked the site again just now and it still seems to be there. Remember, you need to access it from the browser of the phone you want the settings to affect (presumably using the data connection rather than wi-fi). That's how I understand it at least...
Yeah its back now. It was just down a few hours thanks.

At last! YAY!!!
Thank you T-Mobile (for once) and KazeXT for finding this! Seems to be exactly what they should have provided long ago
I wonder how long the setting lasts though, is it permanent until you decide to change it again or does it reset at each reconnection/after some other period of time?

Hmm, weird. And you accessed it with WiFi off and on the T-Mobile network, not whilst roaming onto Orange? I accessed it about an hour ago and it worked fine for me...
Right - wifi off. Nobody said that! But I realise how stupid I've been!
Ahh - the OP mentioned it in passing in post #7, that was what tipped me off! In retrospect I can see the logic, as if you accessed it from outwith their network they wouldn't have your account details and therefore wouldn't be able to log your settings! Glad it's working now for you
Hello, im the developer of Root Call Blocker, an advanced call and SMS blocking app for rooted phones.
The app is currently in open beta here at XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051274
I dont have a Galaxy S and need testers! Please let me know if you are interested in some hard-core testing and logging...
No takers? We really need more testers!
I was installed this apk (v0.9.9.1). All went fantastic good (block call, no delay, etc.). But after 2-3 days app slow down my system and crach. Idont know why and how... I must deinstall this very good app of my think....
Regards

Update to the latest version - yours is over 2 weeks old!
People, I could really use some feedback, as we have been working hard at solving outstanding issues on galaxy s phones.
Are sms replies blocked properly? Does the new logging method work?
Works.
But the calling person hears a spilt second tone on both reject & alternate reject. Need to work on that.

I could provide many things, and provide them i do.
How about a pretty please in return?
Updated, let me know if your issues are fixed please!
I was in the states and it worked fine on atrix there, thanks, saved me from the old ball and chain!
How is the new update - it should have fixed outstanding issues on the galaxy phones.
Work very well on SGS with firmware and others in signature, i cannot hear any ring if numer is blocked.....

Good to know, thanks!
Hi, sorry, but this is a translation of google translator.
To begin the work I want to thank you and tell you that the program is fantastic.
Now I mention a problem I have since version .09 to .11
I have a Galaxy_S with Darky 9.5 ROM.
When you check the "Start service on boot" and restart the terminal, marking is not maintained and I have to tick the option "Enable bloquing call" every time you reboot the phone and not being able to start the service itself.
Thanks again and best regards.
Works great on 2.3.3. Thanks a lot! =)

Well I tried the App yesterday, but I am not at all impressed with it, I mean it shouldn't be called Root Call Blocker! I Black listed my own number, and tested, there is still a small Ring coming, so the blocked user will more than easily understand the number is blocked. But in the application comment it was stated that it will be blocked from Network state! Anyway, that didn't happen for me.
It is still the fastest by miles mate! Noone will know youre blocking them - thats just paranoia.
Anyway, network state is defined by the answer to the ring. There is no other way. Even CM blocking works this way.
Hello all, thought I come here and post this since the developer of the reinstaller app doesn't have any support email attached to the app.
The app had a v1.5 update yesterday and haven't been able to download any app from the marketplace since this V1.5 update. The app just quits upon tapping the download icon....it doesn't invoke the marketplace installer and it just dies taking you to the start screen.
Is this update bad? Too bad I have updated already but if you haven't don't till this problem is solved somehow if only the developer gets to know and if only I'm not the only one expieriencing it.
If anyone has a solution please help, don't know if i'm the only one with this problem.
Thanks and a happy sunday

I don't think it could be a matter of market, because before this update, I could use it without any problem...
I have the exact same issue and already contacted the dev. He says he didn't Change anything on the logic and means it could be the Website having issues. I doubt that though since I can Access it perfectly fine via IE mobile or from my notebook.
Here's the support email address as it can be found in the about page of the app : [email protected]
+1...same issue, login process is just fine but it can't connect to app scan process...!?!?
I don't like the developer answer...should dig his app a little more...hope he will fix that soon I was waiting for those new features!
The app update has brought us problems....too bad
I am in the US and having the EXACT same problem. Dev definitely needs to fix this!
Able to log in and do the app count and everything. Like the new layout. But when I pick an app and try to download it, it doesn't do anything. Just blacks out and goes back to the phone app list.
Hopefully a fix is out soon. Good thing I'm not planning on flashing any ROMs now.
Yep same problem over here!
I just downloaded it, because everybody told me that this app is great, if you are too old to remind all your purchased apps Even if in my case they are only a few..
I'm from Germany.
I'm able to log in, and it counts all the apps, but when i try to download or to show me the purchased apps etc. it unfortunately does not work anymore.. :/
But lately I remembered the name of most of the Apps..
I hope it will be fixed soon
Cheers!
Here is reinstaller v1.0 which actually works better than v1.5...what a shame...
Hope it will help...
Dev Response
All - I am the developer of this app and while I'm really sorry that some of you are running in to these problems, it seems it is not affecting everyone alike.
There are some reviews that report that the app works just fine for them even with the update.
My take is that some kind of hardware/software variation is involved in this problem (after all, it made it through certification).
I'm working on this problem and will submit another update today. However, it will still be a week before it reaches you.
Thanks for your support and sorry again for the incovenience caused.

Hi, first, thanks a lot for this app, it's a must have...
Secondly, thanks for your care, I'm so disappointed for not being able to test 1.5...and will see, today if I have enough time, if it's a matter of rom...but it would be surprising as 1.0 is just working fine...
Good luck, hope you'll find the way out of this trouble easily
Testers invited
Just fixed a few things and would like to know if you can test the XAP file for the following issues -
1. App not able to fetch app list for non-US Live IDs
2. App crashing when tapping the Install button after app scan is finished
3. App crashing when clicked on Install button on the app/games selection page
Drop me note as ashish [at] wpfied.com if you see any of the above issues along with your device, Live ID country and WP build number (if possible).
Thanks.
Thanks for that! I was having the same problem as stated. I'm so used to having an unlocked phone, with my Focus, that I tried to load the QR Xap on the Lumia 900! Can't wait for full access...

Hey people!
Couple of months ago I started developing Android Apps coz i was getting bored at home. You know, just learning stuff...
So I started developing a very basic app. It was my first app after all, so it was supposed to be basic! I started working on it because I NEEDED IT. Then I shared it with a few friends of mine in college and they loved it. Well, it made life a bit simpler for them.
This app isn't for everyone. It is aimed at AIRTEL BROADBAND USERS who have WIFI.
Airtel Broadband users know and understand the importance of SMARTBYTES. It is a service that keeps a track of the DATA USED and the DATA LEFT in our broadband account. Atleast i care for this alot. I have a 4 Mbps connection with a 75 GB data limit. So i have to keep a track of data left in my account. And i had to visit Airtel's website every time to keep a check.
So I made an app for this and it retrieves this data on my phone in just one tap. I made this using GALAXY GRAND i9082 so I have set the elements in the app to look apt on our phone's resolution and screen. It looks great on NOTE 2 too. Can't be sure of how it would look on smaller screens. I tested it on emulator, looked fine. But not tested on smaller screens.
I don't know if any of you even have AIRTEL BROADBAND + WIFI. So that's why i am asking, if you want I can share. It might be useful for one or two. I'll make a thread then in the APPS section. Should I?
If no one has AIRTEL BROADBAND + WIFI, well, no problem. I just wanted to help.
Always share it, never let your talent be hidden. Just be sure you add such words in your tittle, body and tags which can be searched more often. Always keep search engine optimisation SEO in mind. This will help the seakers for such app. I am sure 1000s of people will want it. So go ahead my talented bro.. If possible, post it on play store. Just hit it man.. you have best platform.

Thank you for the encouragement!
I developed this just as a hobby and out of need. And uploading on play store takes $25, which is too high when i am not even sure if i'll work more on something or anything. I am not looking to monetize my app anyways. So i wont put any ads on it. I just want to help.
But yes, you are right, someone will surely benefit from it. I'll make a thread for the app soon and upload it here on xda, keeping in mind the SEO and hence keywords, tags etc. :good:
