WLAN / Mediashare / File Share App - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Hello All,
I have Samsung Galaxy S2, my wife has HTC One X and we have two laptops (windows 7) in our house.
Is there any way to stream and share videos, photos and other files seamlessly in our home over wifi? Is there any app for it? I am looking for something by which we can access files on our android phones and PCs using phones or PCs and view, play them.
Thanks in advance.

Download the free app "Airdroid" from the market, it's easy to use
and it is exactly what you are asking about.
With this app you can have up to 4 pc to phone connections at the
same time. You can share videos/watch videos/pictures and slide
shows from android cell phones to pc.
Its also a file manager like windows explorer.
Here is the link to it so you can check it out.

Good luck!

Isn't Airdroid can be accessed only from web browser? (I am not sure, I will check it out). Thanks for the suggestion.
And can I use kies air on HTC One X too? I need some kind of consistency between all equipment.
Thanks for suggestions.

connecting tab 10.1 to OS Lion.... help!

hi all
Have tried to connect Tab 10.1 to my mac but no joy. Apparently OS lion doesnt support kies BUT can i connect via usb in the same way i would on galaxy s 2? I cant find any info anywhere to help.
I want to transfer files from mac to tablet and using bluetoothis too slow due to file size.
Thanks
I'm interest too
try ftp
don't know about the usb hookup but i'm running osx leopard and found that the easiest way to connect to my macbook is with an ftp connection. i'm using cyberduck (free) on my macbook and an app called file expert on my tab. file expert is like astro, but it allows you to share files via an ftp connection.
once you get it set up your tab file tree will show up on your macbook screen and then you can just drag/drop from finder. the whole setup process took me like 5 minutes...
on my home wifi network i'm getting transfer rates of about 3mps. a little slow for huge files, like movies, but perfectly fine for anything else. it's actually really nice not having to hook up with a cable. i may just use this as my go-to setup even when android file transfer get's updated for the tab.
if you google it there's a thread somewhere that details how to set this up...

http://www.simplehelp.net/2011/07/05/how-to-transfer-files-from-your-mac-to-your-android-tablet/ this must do it!
If you are wanting to sync with files and playlists in iTunes, i use iSyncr. There are free options for USB amd WiFi as well as Mac/PC. The full versions are only $.99 if i recall. Ive used it on my Hero, Evo, Epic, Transformer, and now Galaxy Tab10.1. I have synchronized videos, podcasts, and music. Not really tried photos. Another useful function: it has an option to push new photos, amazon mp3, and video files from your android device to your computer.
The developers are responsive and nice to deal with. So I highly recommend as this solution as stood the test of time and Android updates. That says alot as ive noticed some apps can easily fall off the market or become out of date.

Accessing files from workstation via Web

Is there any apps out there for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that work like Motocast or Zumocast? I've got the remote desktop app Splashtop setup, but was wondering if there is a simpler app that allowed you to access files on my work computer via the web?
Check out Ubuntu One, works with windows.

So, you just want to access files from your work computer on your tab? If that's all, most file managers are able to access shared files over LAN/WAN (I use it all the time for music/pictures/stuff computer).
Teamviewer is just another remote desktop app. Ubuntu one is just a cloud service. And I need to access my files anywhere, not just when i'm on a LAN/wan. The problem with a cloud service is th I have thousands pdf's, spreadsheets, and photos on my workstation and uploading them all a cloud and them having to keep updating that cloud daily is not feasible.
Motocast works flawless in that anywhere you have web access you can access a PC that is on and running the client in the background. Just wondering if there is an app like that that works for the Samsung galaxy tab 10.1...
You could set a FTP server (I recommend SFTP for security) on your workstation and use an app like AndFTP.
try Pocket Cloud
Dropbox is simplest solution. Put your files in Dropbox and they are everywhere.

Just thought I'd mention, WAN is wide area network (aka internet), not WLAN (wireless LAN).
So using shares (or FTP/SFTP) you can easily access all your files, you can even mount them so that tab sees them as "local" (useful for quite some apps that don't support network shares).

You 'just' create a folder and 'just' drop your files there. How hard is that? Dropbox is not something physical that you have to do anything to it daily. Their is no hard labor involved. You definitely need paid service for thousands and thousands of your files. Just like that.

Another option that helped me was pocketcloud explore. Because you have the pocketCloud remote desktop but this is a separate app that will let you just access, view, and download all your files. It's 1 of the closest things motocast I could find.

Is there an app to sync gallery with PC and iPad WITHOUT cloud service ???

Ok, am I the only one who does not want to use stupid cloud based services but sync over 300 Mbps router at home ? So my question is, I have Xperia S, PC with Win7 and iPad, I want to have all photos from Xperia S on my PC and iPad. Is there and app that can sync android gallery with PC over WiFi and then I do the same with iPad and I get all photos and videos from Xperia on my iPad also ?
I am searching for that for 15 days but every damn app is cloud based (SugarSync, Dropbox, Google Drive...). Why are they so interrested to have all our photos on their servers ? I want my PC "to be the cloud" and then I sync it over home WiFi on any device that I want.
Any infos would be appreciated because this is retarded, I dont want to have all my files "somewhere" and my upload speed is super slow.
Tnx
I am using Photo Transfer app
This is available on android and ios as well..it can be used to trasfer photos/videos from A to B device usibg WiFi network.
If you just consider android..one of the best app is aVia.
Try and lemme know.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Tnx, I will try Photo Transfer but as it seems that it copies photos from one phone to tablet, no sync or anything, just copying.
aVia is a mystery for me. I have installed it but I dont know how to use it and what it should do ? This is streaming app ? How to stream videos from Xperia on my PC ? Do I need some server program on my PC to use it ? On my Samsung I had that perfect All Share app which was PERFECT and now I dont have that kind of app to stream on my PC, iMediashare has a lot of junk in it, I just want to stream on PC.
But still there is no sync gallery app from Android to iOS, that i weird. I have tried this SimpleDrop app but that is not working and asks me for mobile phnoe number and I must be from USA I guess. But I have managed to open it but it does not work on iPad.
EDIT: Photo Transfer app on Android has Android or iDevice option, iPad has only iPad or iPhone, both have PC or Mac but I need between them. iPad does not see Android phone, not automaticaly or manualy.
The solution to your problem is already there, you just don't wanna use it.
Unless you take 50+ pictures a day, your upload are not a problem with Dropbox.
Yes, I can understand your cloud issues if your pictures contain a goat and you. But other then that, the uploading should bring no problems.
But if you wanna be stubborn, good luck finding your own setup to your problem.

1) I dont want and need to have my photos and videos on "your" server.
2) I dont want to upload HD video which has 200 Mb trough my phone.
3) why would anyone with at least half of the brain spent his bandwith on that upload ? I nave 1 Gb, why would I spend 1/5 of it on one video ?
4) At home I have ****ty 256 kbps upload and 4 Mbit download, how much does it take to upload 200 Mb video on that cloud ?
So, I am not bored, this cloud option is stupid if you ask me, it is ok for documents but photos and videos I can sync when I come home, there is no need to have them immediately on all devices.
Also, goat should not be the problem if the data is so private and secure. You have just prooved my point, you agree that they can see what you upload, bravo ! Then this is little different than Facebook.

Did you tried aVia and does it looks ok to you?
Iam in touch with dev to have this for iOS as well..

I have installed it but I dont know how to use it. Why do they need my phone number, Im not from USA. Can you explain on PM how to stream trough it. Also, there is no iOS version but ok, I can settle for PC sync.

How about trying MyPhoneExplorer? You find in playstore.

BUMP is some kind of solution for single pics, but it doesn't resolve HD video sharing.
OR you can get your self your own private cloud with buying a NAS like Synology ^^
Then Bump is a half solution. That other thing is too complicated. I cannot believe that I am the only one who does not like those clouds. Like everyone has flat and 10 Mbps upload speed so the cloud is fine. I really dont like it for HD videos, photos maybe.

Well there is a solution for this, it sends all new photos as soon as you put your phone to charger, PERFECT !!

So you want to control a android torrent client from another android device?
I'm gonna do some research, but I know that utorrent offers a remote service where you can control a pc from anywhere in the world with little to no firewall/ router configuration....it used a middle man server.
I suppose if there is a client that offers a webui, you could copy/save a shortcut that went to the webui URL button that executed the command of choice.
But I've never even heard of a android seed box before.
I think bit torrent on market does.. the paid version though
Not 100 on that

Hello,
I have the same scenario and I am also looking for a torrent client on android which can be managed by web or by another android remote torrent client.
I think the only possible solution is to port transmission.

I have the same question as you i wonder if you have found a solution. I have seen that µtorrent beta now exist for android. Moreover they released the remote torrent but as far as i can see this is only for the pc/mac version of µtorrent
Same problem here.
I hope they add that option to the utorrent client on android.
Now you can just take over android with webkey (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webkey&feature=search_result)
or airdroid https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid

A bit late, but I use dropbox and dropsync
So dropsync autmatically syncs a folder from dropbox to your local storage
With ttorrent you can then auto load this folder to download the torrent
nah I haven't found and android solution. .. What I did was I bought a mini pc ,hook that up to the TV and basically use that as my torrent box
Would have been sweeter to use a Android stick for it but I could not find solution

I wish to find a soilutin to for that.
Here is my scenario. I have a old smartphone with Android, what I want to use for downloading torrents. I wish to have access remotely to add torrent files and take the final downloads in my computer. I figure it out how to do it with BitTorrent Sync... I add the torrent and I take the final downloads in my computer and with tTorrent I download the files (he can automatically scan a folder for torrent files). Theoretically everything is perfect and need to work, but... BitTorrent Sync don't synchronized the files in real time. Sometimes he start to do that after 6 or 24 hours... randomly. Somebody knows another solution to do that...?

Im using tTorrent autoload function /Folder
And im syncing via GoogleDrive app - Autosync for Google Drive.- sync each 5m
So if i add to the Google Drive folder some .torrent files - autosync copy it over to Android/Folder - tTorrent load it and remove it from folder.
That the best way ive found so far , newest version 1.3.0 of tTorrent has also WebUI control, but on each torrent i tried to download or autoload i got :INVALID error. So ive moved back to 1.2.4
Hi,
I don't see the remote option in tTorrent, is-it in pro version ?
Thanks for the Drive sync idea, I'll try that for now.

I'm using the lite tTorrent with remote access.
For now it's not protected, but I've change the default port waiting this security...
I'm using Transdrone from my Note 3 to access it and it's very nice to download automatically from my Android TV Box and play it directly with XBMC when i'm at home !
Got it working with:
tTorrent on the nexus player
Transdroid on the phone

app for controlling desktop with phone

so i did a search but i'm not really sure how this category of app works. im basically looking for an app that will let me do stuff on the desktop,through my phone. for example, i could be lying on the bed, and i use my phone to open a page on the desktop and play some music(through the desktop speakers). is this even possible?

you need a wif though.
The best app I would say is win remote. It needs an apk to be installed from play store and a small app to be installed on your pc. the rest is simple

that is the name of the app....
Enjoy and say thaks
SplashTop is pretty good as well
as long as you have a google account and you register it, you can actually connect to your PC through 3g network anywhere. I feel that it's kind of hard to use at the moment, but they are coming out with a new version soon so hope that helps.

For simple control, there's always VNC (and there's definitely at least one viewer for Android). If you're still running GNOME, it had (has? I don't know about GNOME 3 *shudder*) an integrated VNC server in the form of Vinagre. Else there's x11vnc. Unlike with Team Viewer, though, you get to have the fun of port forwarding etc. yourself if you wish to use it to control your computer outside of your home network.
Log me in is by far the superior alternative. Multiple PC's from anywhere.
