Custom ROMs have had this design for a long time already. Interesting that Google also decided to use it. Here’s a screenshot from my custom ROM on A14, just has different groupings.
Yeah it would be nice if wifi direct was in the app itself, but it only uses the network you’re connected to. So if you local send with one phone connected to the other via hotspot (just like wifi direct) then local send will send directly and be faster. When I tried with my laptop and phone it was about 30 MB/s.
Thanks for the heads up about the issues. I’ll probably wait for 10.9.1 too.
I’m lucky to be in Asia since I can easily use redmi phones here (doesn’t work well with USA carriers). 3.5mm is still really useful for me, but if there’s no more options I’ll probably get a 3.5mm to BT adapter.
