Hi bit of a noob here
Had my Archos 80 G9 for a few weeks running ICS (4.0.5) but having trouble sending files from my PC (Win7) to the Archos, machines are paired but will not transfer files just keep getting error "Access denied " any ideas anyone, starting to tear my hair out and I aint got much left .
Jsut tried again and works fine on certain files, photos, movies etc, but will not send .apk files over bluetooth strange really when you consider that android uses .apk files ???
Thanks Kanalcommander for the insight (see post below)
What kind of file did you try to transfer? I figured out that not all extensions are accepted by my ARCHOS device via BT.
Jpg, PDF are working. I think most media files are accepted.

Hello all,
Just came back from a wedding, and shot 2 videos in HD. One file is 2.16GB, the other 2.65GB.
Both files can be played on the S2, and can be copied to windows. However, windows won't play them (Mediaplayer, VLC), probably due to the 2 gig limit, and all splitters that I've tried won't open the files either...
Does someone know a solution on how to cut the files in smaller parts? (editing on the phone using the "Video Editor" won't work, does not handle hi-def files)
Never mind!
While writing the post, I started thinking... "c'mon... My S2 is awesome, but doing something on a phone that 8 programs on a regular pc can't? ...maybe it's the copying that goes wrong with >2GB files?"
So reconnected the S2, only now in USB-mode... Tadaah, the >2GB vids can play / split / etcetera again!
(so, thanx to myself, and topic can be closed )
Before I splash out on the galaxy tab 10.1, i really would like some advice on whether it's a major hassle trying to get video files onto the tab.
Specifically, most of the files I've downloaded are either .avi or mkv, some DivX, I've already had to convert to mp4 to play on itunes on my mac/iphone so my first question is these mp4's already converted for itunes/apple, will they also play on the tab 10.1?
2nd question is getting the files onto the tab. Kies seems to be beyond a joke, so is my only option, wifi transfer and how quick is this to transfer to and from the tab for say a 1.5gb file? I downloaded Kies 1.0 and then upgraded after i'd tried 2.0 and this failed to see if I could get stuff onto Kies ready for transfer, but apart from music/photo's, no video would attach itself (most .avi, mp4 were greyed out in the first place) and the one's that weren't said 'no files found. It's not a good experience when this is the tab I had set on.
Ultimately i'm just looking for this tab to take on holiday and to connect to my TV to watch stuff that's been downloaded...I have a MAc Book pro (leapoard I think 2009) and really don't want the ipad or anything more to do with apple, but what's MAC users experience of using the tab 10.1, especially with getting video onto it?
Would really appreciate any responses from MAC users and how they've found the compatability before I splash out for the 32gb wifi version.
I really hope ipad2 isn't what I have to end up getting due to all the issues I seem to read about 10.1 and MAC's....!

I'm a Linux user so I'm subject to many of the same limitations you are.
1) MTP support on this device is wonky. I still can't get it running under Linux
2) ADB (Android USB Debugging) works perfectly - rock solid and consistent and worked right out of the box with my existing ADB installation. It's a little slow though. 802.11n wireless transfers are faster. Yes, with various apps you can transfer files via WiFi.
3) MP4 (H.264 video + AAC audio) is the preferred video format for this device. If it is playable on iPod/iPhone it should be almost guaranteed to play in the Tab. However there are some issues with playing back high-bitrate Main/High profile H.264 video, so some videos encoded for iPad might be choppy. There's a Handbrake preset for H.264 baseline profile video created by me floating around on these forums that works very well.
4) The Samsung USB adapter + a thumb drive is even faster than WiFi and is how I transfer video files now. My personal opinion is that you are far better off with a 16GB tab than a 32GB tab.
16GB tab $500 + $20 USB adapter + two 32GB USB sticks at $40 each = 80GB for $600 with a small convenience penalty (swapping files out every few hours).
32GB tab $600 = 32GB for $600.
i just use kies to transfer from my mac to the tab
I have a mac and a windows 7 netbook - the mac is an absolute nightmare to get files off for the tab. But I am still glad I have the device it is just hard work. I have been putting things onto a USB drive and then onto the windows pc and then onto the tab. I haven't been able to get the wireless transfer to work nor Kies, which is a truly awful piece of software.
I am also disappointed that as an owner of a GS2 I cannot get the two devices to talk to each other either over wifi or bluetooth. I have a 32gb card on the phone which I would love to be able to stream things over to the tab with, but I can't find a non-app way to do it. And even then I am not sure an app would enable me to, either. I think the wireless sharing option is going to be added to the tab in future (at least I hope), but untill it is be warned that it's hard work with a mac as your main media storage system. On the plus side, the files all play just fine, and it is still totally worth it over an iPad 2.
File manager or es file explorer work excellent for transeferring files over wifi. I have a Mac and can transfer and view files on my Mac, NAS, phones etc. All over my wi fi.
File manager is made for tablets but ES has better image viewing from remote locations. I have them both, but use file manager most.

Hi everyone, I'm new here so be nice
Just bought my phone today, and I'm having a few odd issues. I'm trying to transfer some .mkv files to my phone to play through moboplayer (one of the apps that I saw in the file transfer thread), but using the MediaGo program they won't transfer (an error stating "could not transcode" pops up, and when I click on the error it states no codec could be found, even though that shouldn't matter), and by using Windows Explorer to transfer them Explorer just crashes - which has never happened to me before with any program.
I've changed all the setting that I can find in MediaGo which should allow transfer, and still nothing. So, is there anything else I can do to get this working short of rooting the phone?
Thanks guys for your (hopefully impending and helpful ) help
Take a look at "My Phone Explorer", its a windows progam and a buddy app on your phone. Makes it really easy to push and pull files over wifi, usb or bluetooth.
Thanks, I'll give it a whirl
Dont use pc companion.. just use windows to transfer files
Just tried using myphoneexplorer, unfortunately I've searched through the phone and can't find a setting to only charge when connected via usb, and an option for usb debugging. Any help regarding this?

Which as I said crashes Windows Explorer.
Can anyone else help with this?
Sorry to repeat post, but I'm still having this issue. The thing I'm worried about the most is the Windows Explorer crashing issue

There is no function for charge only - usb debugging is in setup -> Programs -> Development.
Windows explorer is behaving strange for the moment - only hope is it will be fixed in a new upgrade (as far as I remember i did not have it on the .62 version). I backed up yesterday on wi-fi using X-plore on my phone - time consuming but worked.

I can't use WiFi unfortunately, as one of the campus terms and conditions is that you can't set up your own WiFi network.
It's the only problem I have with my phone really, although I tried torrenting an mkv file (that I own on my pc) using a torrent app and that works fine using mx player . I think I may be in love with this phone
I've not been having any issues transferring files to the device through Windows Explorer, however, i'm finding that files larger than 4GiB aren't accepted - it seems like the 25GiB Data partition on the internal storage is formatted FAT32... which seems a bit pointless to me.
Surely a Device with a 1280x720 screen and enough grunt to render 720p video should be able to accommodate large files on its data partition!?
Silly Sony
You need encode your data smaller convert to mp4 only

I can confirm this problem with windows explorer and the XPS - this issue is with mkv files it seems, regardless of file size. It was really confusing when I was transferring my libraries over to the new phone and it just crashed winexplorer partway =(
MyPhoneExplorer did succeed in transferring the mkv file though, thanks.
But I'm sad to say that not everything plays well even with DICE player... the XPS still struggles with some 720p h264 mkv files. So might still have to convert whatever you want to watch with something like Handbrake =(
running 6.0.A.3.73

That's what I figured, until someone works out how to reformat that partition to ext3 or ext4 anyway

Yeah, I updated to the .73 firmware and still not working... Ouch.
I converted the file to .avi though, and can't notice the difference in quality. However it would be nice to put some of my hd films on there without conversion.
Thanks guys for all the useful help
Hi,
Seen a few threads on SMB issues, I am using ES Explorer to access files, however I would like to stream videos from my PC (most on DVD), but the video app does not work streaming (asks for a password/username everytime).
Tried all the tricks in the posts that I can see.
Any further ideas? Many stated Archos were looking at it, but they are quite old threads so presume it's not?

Have you tried using the built in file manager to browse and play?
It works for me, although I did have an issue with user name/ password. I just restarted everything (tablet, PC, router) and it was ok
Hi,
Yes was trying that last night unfortunately.
With the build in filemanager it's not working for me too. But with ES File explorer.

Does anyone know if there is or will be a WiFi Direct function in ICS for our SXS?
I thought this would be supported native by Android 4?!
I am missing that..

Think of it as being like Bluetooth, but a faster way to send files to another person or device.
My Sony Bravia TV can take pictures, music or video via Wi-Fi - if I search and find the device by doing a scan. But I need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network that the TV is.
My TV also has its own SSID, and if someone else took a photo or had a video on their phone - they could simply scan for the TV and - bam - it appears on the screen. The One X and Galaxy S III has Wi-Fi Direct, and given Sony TVs do, it seems very odd to leave it out.
