aren't most people angry and jealous from the xperia s owners who have the w-fi direct on there phone's white papers
well here's the deal....... Sony never actually made any to the xperia s:victory:
and now every one can get a VERY similar service and even better...... without any restrictions like being only able to transfer with this technology to the same phone model only.......etc so lets cut to the chest
here is what you gonna do:
1- download the app wi-fi file explorer pro
2- turn on wi-fi hotspot
3- open the app
4- connect the other device(phone,laptop....all works) to your hotspot
5- on the 2nd device's web browser type the address exactly as shown in the app with the port too
(like http://192.168.1.1:8000/ where 8000 stands for port) i also recommand using the fastest net browser on the device such as google chrome on pc and opera's small version (800KB) on android.................etc
congratulations you can now transfer files without a router or a usb cable and with speeds up-to 50 Mb/s on a non-wifi direct device

correct
the thing to notice too is when wi-fi direct first launched it was saying in the wi-fi alliance web site that this technology doesn't require any special hardware and also can connect to other devices that don't have this software
but now it seems to have change because of there marketing strategy
because if a simple programs such as AIRDROID and wi-fi file explorer pro can do it on any wi-fi device how could companies claim that this is a hardware required tech???

Hey all, wasn't sure where to place this thread... hope its in the right place.
I plugged in an E1550 3g dongle in the usb slot on the dock. Ran the UMTS Manager app (root needed).
I'm in Portugal, and my 3g provider is Optimus Kanguru. So, for portuguese users, all you need to change is the profile to 'other', and the APN to 'kanguru-portatil'... keep DNS at 8.8.8.8... and just start it by clicking 'Verbindung herstellen!'
The E1550 dongle wasn't supported, but it still worked.
Others from different providers/countries should be able to use it too. Just search for what APN configuration you might need.
For me, entering websites happens pretty fast. I've seen in another thread where a user could surf but not download files/apps etc... I tested that, and yes, apparently the only thing you can do is surf the net, which i guess isn't bad at all.
Maybe there's a tweak to be able to download and use other apps...
Oh, almost forgot. I'm on stock .21 (rooted, but not unlocked)
Edit_1:
The app was updated, and now the interface can be in portuguese! Thanks Jörg Köhler (this app's creator)!
Edit_2:
You can use Mobile Counter App to measure the data traffic of your connection.
Other Info: Tested speed using OpenSignal app, and i got a ping of 319ms, max download of 2mbps, and 0 (zero) upload speed -.-
The things you can do/use with UMTS Manager's connection are:
- Youtube App (or other apps of the sort, like the dailymotion app)
- Surf Web
- Search Apps in Google Play (but not download/upgrade apps)
- Google Maps (but it cannot pinpoint your location)
- Google Earth
- Receive and send mail with the gmail app
(But you can only do it when the app opens... if you want to receive again, close the gmail app with the task manager, and open it again.)
(To send email, just write the mail you wanna send and click send. then you gotta close the gmail app with the task manager and open it again... it will then send the mail you wrote)
- You can download stuff from dropbox using the dropbox app!
That's about it for now... need more testing.
Would appreciate tremendously if anyone knew how to make it so we could download/upload freely as if we were using wifi.
probably only leaves port 80 open (html/web). Might be a way to forward all ports to 80?
My E261 is OK too.
I think all Huawei dongle can be supported, because all Huawei dongle have same AT command.
Thank you very much, sir!
I was trying to find out how to use a 3G dongle (Huawei E153) with my TF201 and your post solved the problem. I downloaded the UMTS Manager, made settings for my operator (Saunalahti Prepaid, Finland) and it works perfectly well
Thanks again, I found your information very valuable.
T-Mobile.mk (my provider) gave me an HUAWEI E173
spend a week looking for answer or "how to" for this
nothing there ...
(double eek) Just put mine Prime to re-charge
Jörg Köhler (the creator of UMTS Manager **root**) stated that it'll work ... so double eager to try this sw
Google Translate gave me
Code:
This is a UMTS stick on Asus Prime Transformer can be used.
As UMTS Stick have been tested, type:
HUAWEI E 160
[B]HUAWEI E 173[/B] [SIZE="2"](that's mine)[/SIZE]
HUAWEI E220
HUAWEI K3715
until I try it my guess is that it'll work
if it's working
Hell Yaeh for @eddymonti (OP) and Jörg
HUAWEI E 173 3G usb dongle from my T-Mobile.mk is not recognizable
any one with any thing .... much appreciated
I was referring to this method particularly http://techwalls.com/gadget/3g-usb-asus-transformer/
probably we gonna need some more experienced users
Not working on Orange Cameroun.
ohh they joy of being an aid worker !
Can't wait to go back to my LTE dongle in Canada !

Compatible with MiFi?
You guys mentioned that it is compatible across all Huawei Dongles. Would that also mean it is compatible with Huawei Pocket MiFis? (ex. Huawei E587). Thanks!

Isn't MiFis like the E587 a portable hotspot? I think that you just need wifi for those. This app is just for usb connected dongles.

Use wifi my friend
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Just go sit outside some place with free wifi and download to your hearts content.
there is no wifi in my place..you guys are lucky ..!!!
If your computer has a Wifi card, just use the Windows application Connectify to create a Wifi network which your phone can use.
You can also pick up a cheap (usually ~15-20$) USB Wifi stick, most do work.
However you should Google first if the stick you've found -respectively it's Wifi chipset- is capable of Hostmode or check with the seller to see if you can return it if it does not work.
Alternatively you can try: (requires root on the phone)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345
I'd strongly suggest getting a cheap Wifi router (e.g. the cheap and excellt D-Link Dir300 Revision B, you'll want to install dd-wrt.com on it) since it's the best and most reliable method for file transfers to and from your phone when at home.
Are you sure that no bar (or other similar location) around you offers free Wifi with orders? Most around here do since it attracts the smartphone owning customers which usually are the ones with money) Just get a beer or other beverage and drain their Wifi empty. (These places usually have no clue how to trafficshape so you'll be able to use their whole bandwith up)
Hey, title says it all.
I've been using email but I guess there is better options.
Thx in advance
USB cable? easiest way I find!!!
Use dropbox
better than any other.

USB cable cut and paste .
Air Droid .

An FTP server on the phone is more convenient than all of the above, imo
usb cable is the best.
even if u use dropbox, ur phone will first upload ur files to dropbox then only u will be able to c it..and u need to install dropbox on ur pc (though u can go to the website but app is much preffered).
so the fastest way is to plug in -> copy files -> jobs done.
depends how big the file is. If its big then usb cable, if its small and youre like me, never being able to find the thing then airdroid is easy
Thx for answer, how does airdroid work? I need to install it on computer also?
How difficult is it to setup an ftp server for the phone?

You always have the bluetooth file transfer option.

no, it does NOT like iOS devices needs to jail break or iTunes on computer to transfer files
simple connect with USB cable , basically , your Android phone will be show in computer as any other USB Mass Storage Devices.
if you are asking in non-physical contact case as you do not have USB cable.
simplest way and fastest way is using WIFI.
there are dozens applications in Play Store that will enable computer-mobile transfer files via WIFI (both of them must be connected in same WIFI network)
Bluetooth is good , but it's too slow , if your file is very big , it may take hours even days to finish it ...

Hi,
Sorry to interrupt here! I'm Sabrina from SnapPea. (I probably shouldn't made this other thread..) I've posted one thread at the APPS section in XDA about our PC manager, we compared some main metrics with Mobogenie. You can read this post to know more about SnapPea
The reason why I'm posting here is that, we know Micromax is a big brand from India, and we really want to make sure that SnapPea can work on Micromax devices as well, but we can't test on any Micromax devices here in Beijing. We actually tried to buy some from Flipkart but the order got cancelled, and we tried to have friends send some devices over, but the customs wouldn't let the package through...:crying::crying::crying: So I'm wondering, if anyone can help me test out our beta version? The download link is here (dropbox link, since it's in beta, we can't put it on our website).
BTW here is some main metrics comparison between SnapPea and Mobognie:
Package size
The package size for SnapPea is only 4.5MB
The package size for Mobogenie is 30.4MB
Installation time
It takes only 2.94s to install SnapPea on your PC (here is a video to prove)
It takes 6.87s to install Mobogenie
Photo loading time (tested on a phone with 2000+ photos)
SnapPea takes 1.25s to load pictures
Mobogenie takes 8.16s
×a word here: we have made improvement to the logic of content loading, which means the photos won't be necessarily loading from the top to the bottom, instead, we load where your eyes are at first
Contacts loading time (tested on a phone with 3000+ contacts)
SnapPea takes 1.48s to load pictures
Mobogenie takes 57.75s
Memory usage
SnapPea uses only 70MB when in use and 24.7MB when not
Mobogenie uses up to 146MB when in use and 70MB when not
As windows users, you must know how it sucks when some software takes too much memory...
Give it a try! I'm sure you won't be disappointed! And we are ready for the toughest feedback and willing to improve SnapPea the way you want it!
Thanks very much
well i am using snappea currently damn nice slick ui , as i need to use the smb server quite a lot and its quite nice , only issue for me is that everytime i need to connect my phone i need to put in the passcode/key/whatever to reconnect , if the pairing is saved it will be lot easier :3

Hi! So glad to see your reply I didn't know we already have user in India :victory::victory:
It seems that you like to connect via Wi-Fi? May I ask why you prefer Wi-Fi connection than USB?
Btw our new beta version has even nicer UI Try it :highfive:
A simple reason
I dont have my usb connected to the px evertime and my front usb ports are dead and for me wifi is easier though a bit slow but it just does the work and i am not restricted to keep my phone at one place

OK, I got it (seems like we need to add wifi connection back for the new version) Just curious - what about other Indian users? Do most of you prefer USB or Wifi? At first we thought it has to be USB:silly:
USB has its own advantages though
Ex. better read/write
but still wifi lets me copy my files without much effort :v
only thing that craps me out that i have to put in the wifi passcode for connecting it
So, today im back with another guide, today ill be teaching you how to turn your Android TV Box into a personal Cloud!
A few of you may ask, why? Well theres a few reasons
1. These devices run off a 5v power supply
2. For the price they are, its definately the cheapest alternative to purchasing cloud space
3. For the specs, they are quite impressive
4. Not only can you use wifi, but these devices have LAN aswell
So for anyone who wants to do this, simply check out my youtube video, it takes a total of less than 2 minutes to set up(Deducting all my explaining)!
https://youtu.be/D_yPGkAmtII
Step by step -
1. Download and install SSHDroid on your device from the playstore or link below
2. Open the app, if the service is not started, click start at the top right, the status should change to ready
3. Download the setup server files i created from below and open the SetupServer.bat file
4. The script will prompt you for an IP address, in the SSHDroid app besides address you will see something like [email protected]:2222 your IP address is inbetween "[email protected]" and ":2222", in this case 192.168.1.109, type it in and press enter
5. You will notice 2 scripts are generated from that and a file, you can then run the CloudFileManager.bat or the CloudTerminal.bat depending if you wanna upload/download files from your cloud or do things within terminal
If you do wanna access the server from your device, you can download ESFileExplorer, open it and open the FTP tab
Click "add" and choose SFTP, then input the details that the script generated in details.txt
You can then transfer files between your phone and cloud!
Here are the files i said i would share for this

Definately a worthy solution to a cheap cloud storage
Any luck figuring that out?
I used Armbian+apache2(with PHP7.2)+Nextcloud server before but your cloud is runing on Android right? This is good idea. May be need a NAS drive like 2TB for storage. Android devices got poor wifi performance. I recomend LAN connection for cloud.

seems to be very minimal difference between WIFI and LAN, im guessing its using the hardware at its limit, i got 2.9mbps upload speed while the Beeting S1 was using an SSD as primary storage(apollo lake processor and 4GB RAM with Samsung evo SSD)
if i find a way to improve performance i will let you know, i just feel using TV box as a cloud server is a very efficient way of doing things for both the price, simplicity and flexibillity
My box has gigabit lan and I don't agree with you
There are good webservers for android that support php/database. I guess we can install Nextcloud. I'll try at my spare time.

What im saying is i think its a hardware limitation, the processors and the amount of RAM your device has will surely limit speeds(Upload/Download) somewhat.
I just have no idea what the limit is, but then again my internet is actual trash so you may be right, who knows
What if i want to access to it when I'm not in the same network? How can I do so?

You need to open the port it uses in your modem or router. The use your external IP and the port to connect to it outside of your network. Password protect everything though to be safe.
P.S. can anyone reupload the files?
