FreifunkUFO commented 7 years ago

maybe your battery isnt charged? try to use an existing Wifi instead of creating ad-hoc mode. is this running for you?

krishnameena commented 7 years ago

on WiFi when I click on call it is showing you do not have a connection to any other phones

FreifunkUFO commented 7 years ago

How many smartphones do you have for that test? Or do you test with only yours one?

krishnameena commented 7 years ago

I have 2 smart phones

Go to the connection screen and make sure both phones are using the same network. Either by both being discoverable via bluetooth, or by joining the same Wi-Fi network.

For a test that doesn't involve any other infrastructure, you could turn one phone into a hot-spot, and the other can connect as a client.

Note that some wifi networks will not allow client devices to talk directly to each other. And android Wi-Fi & bluetooth implementations have bugs. Some combinations of devices simply don't work together.

please use a 3rd smartphone for testing your two devices!

mrtsolar commented 7 years ago

Also, make sure the Enable Services checkbox is checked on both phones.

Same here on multiple wifi networks (home network does allow devices to see each other), is it the type of phone or the version that causes an issue I wonder?
