Make sure another device you wish to transfer with is connected in the same Wi-Fi network with you and has a Wi-Fi Direct feature. As the example, I'll try to transfer picture files using Wi-Fi Direct between my Samsung Galaxy SIV and Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.7 through Gallery app and My Files app.


Stage 1: From Gallery app
  1. Open Gallery app. By default, it's viewed by albums.
  2. Click the required albums where pictures you want to share are saved.

    • Click Done button.
    • The selected pictures will be transferred shortly.

  1. Open My Files app. By default, it's viewed by category.
  2. Click Image. This will redirect you to the DCIM folder in the internal storage where the phone uses it by default to save all pictures you've taken by using the camera. Or you can navigate to the required folder as you want.
  3. Click Camera.
  4. To transfer a single picture file go to the sttage 5, while to transfer multiple pictures go to the stage 6.

    • Click the desired device you wish to transfer with by ticking the box next to the device name.
    • Click Done button.

    • Click the desired device you wish to transfer with by ticking the box next to the device name.

If you're like me, if possible (when another device has Wi-Fi Direct feature) I always choose Wi-Fi Direct feature to transfer files, especially if the file have large size because Wi-Fi Direct can transfer files faster and easier than another transfer method (eg: Bluetooth). FYI, this feature consumes lot of power to run, therefore your phone will give you a notification to turn off this feature when you don't use it to save your battery life.

  How to Connect to a Wi-Fi Network in Samsung Galaxy S4

Browsing web pages, checking emails, installing apps are some things that frequently done by users with their Samsung Galaxy SIV. To be able to do all these things, you must have an internet connection. One way that you can do to gain internet connection is by connecting to the Wi-Fi network, either it's open or secured Wi-Fi network. For those of you who don't know how to do so, you can see the complete steps below.

How to connect to a Wi-Fi network in Android 4.4 Kitkat?
FYI, when you're trying to connect to a secured Wi-Fi network, you'll be asked to enter a Wi-Fi password. You can get the password from your Wi-Fi network provider, or if you use Wi-Fi modem the default password usually was printed on the bottom label or you can find the password in its manual book.

Stage 1: From Settings menu
If this is the first time for you to connect to a secured Wi-Fi network, it'll be better if you use this method because it'll allow you to choose which network you wish to connect with as well as entering the password for the selected Wi-Fi network. Here are the steps:
  • Go to Settings.
  • Click Connections tab.
  • Click Wi-Fi.
  • Slide the switch at the top of the screen to the right to enable Wi-Fi. Now, your phone will scan for available Wi-Fi networks and they will be displayed under Wi-Fi networks tab.
  • Click the desired Wi-Fi network you wish to connect.
  • If necessary, enter the Wi-Fi password correctly. Please note that it's case sensitive, where "a" is not the same with "A". FYI, because by default Samsung Galaxy SIV use WPA/WPA2, then the password length should be more than 8 chars to make you be able to connect to the network. If it's less than 8 chars, then you can try to connect to the Wi-Fi network by using WEP.
  • Click Connect button.
  • If you've managed to connect with the selected Wi-Fi network, then the selected Wi-Fi network will be labelled with Connected and you'll see the Wi-Fi icon on the status bar.
  • Now you're ready to use Wi-Fi connection to connect to the internet.
Stage 2: From Notification panel
If you've been ever connected to a secured Wi-Fi network in the past, the Wi-Fi network profile and its password will be automatically saved by your phone. If so, you can connect with the Wi-Fi network easily through the notification panel. Here are the steps:
  • Swipe down the top of the screen.
  • Click Wi-Fi quick setting button to enable or disable it. When the button shows green means the option is turned on.
  • You'll be informed if you've managed to connect with the Wi-Fi network and you'll see the Wi-Fi icon on the status bar.
  • Now you're ready to use Wi-Fi connection to connect to the internet.

Based on my experience, if for your own reason, you decide to change the Wi-Fi password, then make sure to write down the password somewhere else. It'll be useful if you accidentally forget the Wi-Fi network profile and need to enter the password to connect with the network.
