today a SmartEyrGlass arrived at the office and I am having trouble connecting it to the wifi to take pictures.
The manual just says:
Turn on wireless LAN on your smartphone.
And in the settings off the glass it only displays the MAC address of the device.
I looked online for a full manual, but I couldn't find any.
What do I need to do to take pictures?
It will automatically connect over wireless LAN when you start the Camera application.
For connection, initial pairing over bluetooth is enough. Device will switch to WLAN automatically when application needs it.
Start Camera and you will see it is starting to connect.

I am trying to build a mobile application that read data from WaterRower machine via BLE. This is the machine I am talking about, https://www.waterrower.co.uk/waterrower-natural-rowing-machine. The WaterRower has its own app, https://apps.apple.com/us/app/waterrower-monitor/id1463763094 that can connect to the machine's bluetooth/ BLE and read data from it. But when I download the app and open the app, the app can find the WaterRower machine and connects to it via Bluetooth. The WaterRower app can find the machine's Bluetooth as follow within the app.
As you can see, the WaterRower machine bluetooth's name is PD1186. When the machine is connected, I can also see that in the device's Bluetooth list as follow.
When the machine is connected to my iPhone's Bluetooth within the WaterRower app, it also appeared in the connected Bluetooth devices list of the phone. But if I tried to find the WaterRower machine without using the WaterRower app, the machine's Bluetooth is not listed as you can see below. My iPhone cannot scan it.
As you can see in the screenshot, the WaterRower machine is not listed under the scanned device list at all. It can only be found and connected using the WaterRower app. Also, I am trying to list down the devices in ReactNative following this article, https://blog.bam.tech/developer-news/make-your-first-iot-react-native-application-with-the-bluetooth-low-energy. But the WaterRower machine is not on the list at all.
What kind of BLE technology is that? Is that some sort of private tech to WaterRower? Can I not build my own app and pair it with the machine to read the data? Is it even possible to pair with the machine from my own app? Why is it not evening appearing under the iPhone Bluetooth device list and can only be connected from the app?
I have a USB camera that does work with iOS devices on a specific application made by the manufacturer. When connected, it creates an ethernet interface for which I'm always assigned the same IP address and then when launching the app the camera shows up.
There is no documentation for this device or known API to make it work on other devices or apps.
How can I monitor the traffic between the device and the USB camera in order to find out endpoints (wether HTTP/HTTPS or not) to be able to use the camera on other devices?
The virtual network created by MacOS is (at first glance) not the good approach because my iOS device port is already in use by the USB camera.
I'm interested in both non-jailbreak and jailbreak ways of doing that.
I recently bought a Samsung Smart TV and wanted to hook it up to my PC as a second monitor. However every time I connect to it my wifi drops out and will no longer connect to my home network or if it does it doesnt load web pages.
I'm using Windows 7 and my graphics card is an AMD 7970. There are four ports on there. I am using the DVI to my main monitor and HDMI to the TV. The two displayport ports are unused.
Can anyone think of why this would be happening and how I could solve it?
I have tried connecting to both monitors at the same time and only to the TV via HDMI. In both these cases the wifi suffers the same problems. When I connect just to my monitor via DVI everything works perfectly.
Go into the Samsung TV menu and turn off SWL(Samsung Wireless Link). You may need to turn off other wireless options in the TV as well, but start there. When the Smart TV is connected via HDMI to a CEC source, SWL automatically goes active. It is intended as a direct WiFi link but the signal is so strong that it swamps other WiFi signals in the area. It does not play well with others.
I met a problem to connect an ios device to the hotspot driven by hostapd which runs on my arm board.
IOS device will take a long time to connect, at last, the wifi signal is shown on status bar, and also got the ip address, but the circle, by the ssid side, won't disappear, it always turns round. This will make user think that the wifi doesn't connected yet, but it really connected.
I have tried some devices to connect the hotsopt, such as android cell phones, windows laptop, they all work correctly.
PS. My English is not good, I hope you could understand what I mean.
if the "circle by the ssid side" keeps showing ，i think your device is still trying to get ip address.
could you please provide us with more detail messages? such as your hostapd configure file and your dhcpd configure file.
Is Wi-Fi Direct connection possible within iOS devices and among Wi-Fi Direct enabled devices?
The objective is to enable communication between an iOS device and another device (not necessarily another iOS device. It could be Android, Mac, PC) without the presence of any controllers. (WAPs).
iOS devices can connect to an ad-hoc network, and if they do so they will have full wireless network capabilities. The limitation is with creating an ad-hoc network from the device itself, which is not allowed/not possible.
An alternative would be to use the GameKit/Game Center API which uses Bluetooth to create a network between iOS devices. This would obviously include the more limited range of Bluetooth vs Wifi, as well as the constraints of Apple's SDK.
More information on Game Center in iOS 6 is available here: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/GameKit_Guide/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008304
I have been looking into this recently and from my research,(please see "Device to device communication with WiFi Direct: Overview and experimentation" by Daniel Camps-Mur,....) the WiFi Direct does NOT create ad-hoc network. It's actually creating a WiFi infrastructure network where one party takes the role of AP (soft-AP). Once this established, the network works much like a normal WiFi network. Do we agree on this?
Given this is the fact, Apple iPhone should be able to connect to WiFi Direct device that is already set up as AP. I haven't check this though.
Having said this, How can you get an Android phone like Samsung Galaxy S3 or S4 to act as AP? there is nothing in the settings as far as I know. If you connect two such devices, one of them will take the role of AP. Now, iPhone will detect the established network, but when trying to connect to that, will be asked for WPA password. Good luck finding it! Cus you can't get it from the phone. I read somewhere that a file in Samsung Galaxy called WPA_Suppliciant.conf has the WPA key in it but I didn't see it there.
I believe if you could find WPA password, you can get the iPhone to easily connect.
iOS devices do not support Wi-Fi Direct functionality, they do not have WFD (Wi-Fi Direct) group creation or role negotiation (P2P Group Owner or Group Client) support.
During a normal WFD connection one of the 2 devices takes role of Group Owner (Soft-AP) allowing other device to connect as a Group Client.
iOS has support for tethering which is normally know as Personal Hotspot option in Settings. It can be used for communication between iOS and non-iOS devices. For example,
Application ShareIt uses similar way to connect iOS to non-iOS devices by creating a temporary Hotspot and in the non-iOS device and promts iOS user to go to Wi-Fi screen and connect manually. This is normally recommended when a common Wi-Fi network is not present.
