Fix Flashare / Xender issue on BB10 Devices

A lot of you might have noticed this. Connecting your BB10 device to another device while trying to share files can be as hard as trying to drown a fish.  The application either freezes of it takes it another Genesis: In the beginning time to connect. I found a way to fix it and thought to share it with you all. 

Xender works by creating a hotspot where the 2 phones send data via the network created. Problem is, BB10 devices create their own hotspot in a way that xender doesn’t comprehend, that’s the best way to put it. So few steps while you want to use Xender between a BB10 and a non BB10 device.

1.    

            1.  Power on your xender on your BB10 device and the device you would be connecting to.

2.        2.Let the other non BB10 device be the one to create the connection while you join.

3. 3.     Wait a bit, don’t join the connection via the xender app, minimize xender and open the phone Wi-Fi settings and manually connect to the name of the Wi-Fi hotspot that your friend’s phone created. The name can be easily matched.

4.    4.  As soon as you connect to your friends Wi-Fi in the phone settings, Xender also automatically connects you to that your friend in the app

5.   5.   Choose files and start sharing

Xender makes it easy to send large files between phones that have WiFi capability. 

This method has been tested over and over, 100% efficient. Question is, what if you now want to connect 2 BB10 devices together….don’t look at me LOL, I’ve not found an answer to that just yet. Till then, enjoy this release.
