I am trying to get Dooblou WiFi File Explorer Pro to work but when I type the address into my PC it can't find it.
My phone has the IP 192.168.1.110, and when I ping this from my PC (192.168.1.100) i get
'Reply from 192.168.1.100, destination host unreachable'
My gateway is 192.168.1.1.
I can browse the net on my phone just fine.EDIT: sometimes i cant browse the internet, its a bit hit and miss actually.
(on a side note: just tried WiFi Analyzer and it picks up about 7 other networks around me, my DHD only picked up one other apart from mine. The antenna must be powerful on the SGS2!)
I've been using SharesFinder, sounds like what you want.
I guess I could use this.
But really I want to get Dooblou WiFi File Explorer Pro. Its so simple to use. You start if on your phone then navigate to the address it gives on your PC... simples!
I know about Kies Air, I haven't looked into that yet. It's just annoying me that Dooblou WiFi File Explorer Pro isn't working!
no problems with SwiFTP

Estrongs works ok for me, used it on my last 3 handsets and on my Transformer.
MyPhoneExplorer works great for me. No IP addresses needed. Just install on your PC and the app on the phone. Run them both and hey presto!

Has anyone been able to successfully connect DUN over BT using wmodem? I have installed the addon cab and can find the DUN connection when pairing my phone with my laptop, but when I go to connect it gives me a 678 error. I have no problems connecting wmodem over USB or using "Internet Sharing" to connect cover BT and USB.

Had issue with wmodem but Internet Sharing that was on my custom rom works like a champ. I'm pulling 1.0 to 1.2 Mbps almost all the time. I can't remember if it was on my stock rom, but if not, I'm sure it's available somewhere on here.

i was just about to do a search on this. then i scrolled down the list and found this post. I'm very interested in getting BT DUN working on my Mac, since you can't use USB.
If you find an internet sharing cab, can you post here?
Thanks.
yeah i do not mean to hijack your thread but when i try to tether via bluetooth to my new macbook with internet sharing, the internet connection crawls!! i mean CRAWLS!!! lol
I have BT and USB connection with a windows laptop and it runs perfect. any ideas on how to speed up the connection?
Thanks!

this is really the best solution if you want to connect to a Mac. Works perfect and is worth the money! Hella fast too when connecting through WiFi. But you have the option to connect through WiFi, Bluetooth & USB.
When I connect through WiFi, I'm getting 1.2mb down and 500kb up.
It worked great for a while about a month or 2 ago when I bought it. But then I was playing with the Mac network settings and stuff and managed to jack it up. But here's what I was doing wrong:
Connecting through WiFi, there is open & wep. I chose wep. So on WiFiRouter you select your wep password. I chose a simple word, let's say "keyboard". On the Mac when you select to connect wep, using keyboard for the password won't work. You need to enter the 20 digit hex value that WiFiRouter gives you after you put in the password "keyboard".
Hope this helps anyone who might have problems setting it up. I didn't change any settings on WiFiRouter. Works right out of the box. You just have to make sure you set it up correctly on the Mac.
I use ICS over Bluetooth all the time. works great.
I now have ICS. Unlocked my HTC Touch Pro and used Scott Scrosler's ROM. But I'll most likely use WiFiRouter since it's about 3-4X faster going through WiFi. Need the speed for VPN.
I have an HTC Touch Pro and an asus eee pc and have tried and searched everywhere to figure out how to bluetooth pair these two, but I've had no luck. I can USB pair just fine with Internet Sharing. Has anyone had success with this? I'd rather go the free route than spend the $ for wmwifirouter, if possible. TIA
Well on W7 at least all I have to do is select Bluetooth as my connection option in ICS and then right click on my phone in the Bluetooth Devices window on my PC and go to where it says "Join PAN" and it connects faster than it would by USB. The range sorta sucks though. Has to be within like 5 feet to keep from disconnecting. But GRemote works from like 25 feet away.
Internet Sharing NO Registry Edit Needed
Hi. For those with ATT FUZE Stock Rom
I got this CAB (ICS INstaller) from a website with a topic of the last free version of WMWifiRouter by chainfire, just install the CAB and it will enable Internet Sharing, and NO registry edit needed.
As far as I remembered this is needed in order to use Internet Sharing and also if you want to use WMWifiRouter by chainfire.
Enjoy.

I'm facing a lot of disconnects using Bluetooth PAN, however over USB works great! If I have to use the cell phone near the computer, I'd rather use the cable.
I only wanted to use bluetooth because I could put the cell phone near the window which is where I have better signal when I'm on the mountains with GPRS-only..
hi, i used ssh in my iphone to copy big files to and from my iphone and PC through my wifi router. Is that possible in my hero, given that its a much more open platform. connecting the usb cable every time is a big hassle.
I just use Estrongs File Explorer which lets you map network drives (Windows).
I use ftpserver on the phone so I can use an ftp client on the PC.
Hi! I have a problem regarding bluetooth transfer. I want to send files from Atrix to my laptop but it won't work even if it showed paired and connected to media. However, I can send files from my laptop to Atrix using bluetooth without a problem. Do i need to be rooted to do this?
No you shouldn't have to be rooted to transfer files via BT. Have you tried the Phone Portal app that came on the Atrix? Open the app and select "connect with wifi", in your computers browser enter the ip address shown on your phones screen. Thats it! You should now have access to the files on your Atrix via your web browser.
Thx.. somehow i fixed the bluetooth issue myself. and, using bluetooth to connect atrix to laptop is way faster than the phone portal one
Good you got it working! Its takes me about 20 seconds from opening the phone portal app to typing the ip in my browser, not bad. The advantage of phone portal over bt is the 'file explorer' - bt only allows transfers not exploring; with phone portal you can see the files/folders and thats a huge advantage to me.
I can also use bluetooth to explore my files on atrix also. Somehow opening the ip address is very slow for me
How do you do explorer over bt? Is it software on the computer or?
I downloaded the "bluetooth file transfer" from the market which enables FTP. Then i go to device manager and find my bluetooth card and enables the FTP in it. When I enabled tthe FTP, it will install a driver. Then go to control panel-> bluetooth devices-> MB860, press connect in the phone operations then "browse files on your phone" will show up. Then you just click it and then you can explore it.
I am new to android world.Plz help me with this problem. I am using connectify to make my laptop as a wifi hotspot. And using my laptop's internet connection into my Htc DHD without any problem. Now the problem is,today i am trying to access my DHD files via wifi using SwiFTP,it's OK but i cant access my laptop's files from my DHD using es file manager.It shows nothing on scan.I am going to LAN option then menu->new->scan it shows nothing.Plz help me brother.And forgive me for my bad English.
I'm assuming that you are using connectify as you don't have a wireless router.
SwiFTP FTP only sets up a FTP server on your phone so other machines can connect to it to access files. It doesn't work the other way around.
To see files on your laptop from your phone you need to set up a windows/samba share on the laptop. Then scan should pick that up.
Hope that helps, if you have any more questions just ask.
Hey,
As we have wifi direct in our phones, i would like to ask if someone knows how to use it with our PC's or notebooks? I have Windows 7 x64 and i know that i could use Samsung Kies Air or smthing like that (e.g. ftp server) but it's not to easy to use and fast. I often need to send 1 small file from or on smartphone and it seams easy with it, but i can't use it anyway. I heared some rummors that Windows 8 will have WiFi Direct support, but i can't believe that there is no support from even 3rd party aplications on this very popular system.
So... anyone know any solutions on how to use it? Since we have it, it would be nice to use it sometimes
Why you don't try with airdroid?
Sent from SGSII//CM9 >>xBlackDroid<<
AFAIK it works just like Kies Air - using wireless router to connect pc with phone and it's not what i'm looking for. It seams better app that Kies Air - ok, but still uses similiar ideas like many other apps even on phones that does not have Wifi Direct. It gives you almost same feature for file transfer as Wifi direct but it's not that. I could use it, but i want to try this standard and i'm looking for any way to do it, not any workarounds for that - i already know them
As for my notebook wlan card - it's Atheros 928X and i found somewhere that it does support Wifi Direct with new drivers (which i have).
I would test it on Windows 8 R.P. but it seams pointless just to test it. I'd like to use it on my Win7
As for reason - it looks just easier to use becose i don't have to use both device when i want to transfer file - I just click in "share" -> via WiFi and it's done (or turn WifiD. on before).
Did u try AirDroid ??
you can use wifi direct and adhoc on one soluution from intel.
it is baed on intel's wifi cards - more ifo here: http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wtech/imwd/sb/CS-033754.htm?wapkw=wifi+direct
you need to instal itnels wifi managemen sw + wifi dashboard. if not you wont be able to use wifi direct.
it is working as adhoc really nice but I was not able to send wifi direct any files even it did connect properrly. looks like kind of bug
using gsg2 with neatrom
Try using Airdroid
WiFi Direct is designed for both devices to directly connect to each other with their built in WiFi network adapters. I don't think it works if one of them is a PC on a LAN with an access point.
Use WiFi File Explorer.
Es file explorer, set your pc in lan settings.
Share folders on Pc, then access them with es file explorer
