A lot of new Android devices that come preinstalled with Android 4.0 (ICS) and up come with a feature called WiFi Direct that lets us transfer large files to another device at a much faster speed. However, if you own an old Android device (phone/tablet) that runs Gingerbread or Froyo, chances are that you do not have this feature.

Here's a tutorial on how to use the WiFi Direct technology on any/old Android devices to transfer large files to any other device.

Wifi direct is a feature of the wifi chipset which may or may not be enabled. If the device is wifi certified they check if the device is capable or not and the cert indicates it. It enables the device to get into master mode and become master. Now if you have one of those devices then others which do not have this ability will connect to it. So only device has to have wifi direct out of two or more.
