Hi
I have found that if you clear the data for the Media Storage app then you lose the pairing for wireless media transfer. I copied a few folders to my phone and ended up with a load of pics in album that i didnt want. I added a .nomedia file and had to clear the Media Storage data to stop the broken links showing in Album.
The problem this has caused is that i have now lost wireless media transfer. I have tried setting up the pairing again but on windows 8.1 you cant reconfigure network access and have to go through the companion app i believe. When i try and pair the phone it says that it is already paired.
Is there anyway of restoring this pairing?
Thanks

Hi,
The problem is not with the wifi dropping but the wireless media transfer. When you go into Settings>Xperia Connectivity>USB Connectivity. Under Wireless Media Transfer it usually shows your paired devices. However when you clear the Media Storage data it clears these pairings. When you try and pair it again it says that it is already paired but nothing is showing in the settings.

I have found the solution. When you browse the root of the phone, you will see a file with the name of the pc you have been paired to. If you delete that then you can pair the phone again.

I used an app Samba file sharing for android and this makes my phone a samba server. I was then easily able to access my SD card on my laptop on LAN (wifi).
I now have a mapped network drive for my SD Card and it is super easy to transfer data to my SDCard.
But(I tried this, but was unsuccessful), I want to use my phone as a portable wifi hotspot and then use my phone as a samba server so that I can easily share my SDCard contents with any other (android) device which connects to my phone's wifi network. Is it possible?
This is what I was thinking the other day when I was at a freinds house when I didn't have my cable with me and he does not have a WiFi router, I had to email him the file which was about 5mb which would of been alot faster for his laptop to connect and pull the file from my phone on its own.
Very interested if this can be done.......
I guess the app would have to deal out dhcp and dns
+1 - really want this, would be so much better than using Bluetooth to shift files from one droid to another without a router. Don't really see why Samba reports 'wifi is down' when there's an active client connected to the hotspot
What about using you phone as a portable wifi hotspot and switching on an ftp server?
Edit: just tried it with "ftp server" and hotspot switched on. Appeared to work but have no-one to test with :-(

Anyone ever get this working?
I've tried this using "LAN Manager" from play store. And using a beelink gt1 ultimate TV box as client. It working fine so far. But if I boot the box with CoreELEC, I'm able to connect but file read is extremely slow.
I've tried the media center to get working, but it just simply doesn't. My notebook and my x10 are connected to the same wireless network, but the PC just won't detect the x10.
How exactly does the media server works?? I've already looked and there isn't any tutorials, videos o threads asking this.
Any help will be useful
Btw:
Since I dont use it, is it safe to remove? Or removing it will it mess up some Wolfs tweaks?
Try going under network settings on your computer and disable the firewall

I have a Q. I can't get it working either. Does my comp need to be connected to my router via Wi-Fi also to get it to work?

I wrote up a how-to the other day regarding Sony Ericsson's Media Server app. I've now updated my post with information on how to get things working with Windows Media Player 12 that is a part of Windows 7.
Just go here:

I hope it works out for everyone.
Is there a way to use our touchpads to SMS reply or start new messages? I am aware of desktop SMS but looking for other alternatives. Ideas?
Google Voice. Works great.

Update to 3.0.4, then connect it to your cellphone and if you're lucky it'll support the required protocol to send\receive SMS via bluetooth using the default messaging app.

Working for me on cm 7 alpha 2. Thanks
Textab works for me. The way I got it to work:
1) Install Bluetooth File Transfer
2) Install Textab
3) Turn on airplane mode.
4) Turn on bluetooth and pair devices. It says paired but not connected and won't connect, thats ok.
5) Open and connect through Bluetooth File Transfer. You should now be able to see the contents of the other device.
6) Open and connect through Textab.
I don't know if it will connect through other methods, this is what I did and it worked. After a while my wifi started screwing up and disconnecting (on the touchpad), I just booted into recovery and wiped my dalvik and cache, NOT BEFORE BACKING UP!!, rebooted and all was fine. I however did not reopen bluetooth file transfer after I wiped, still working. I also have left it in airplane mode and have turned on bluetooth and wifi and all still working. 1 observation, pictures and whatnot won't come through, only plain texts. Don't know if its cause its lite version or what??? Another note, sometimes it takes the phone a few trys to connect to the touchpad, touchpad usually doesn't have a problem. IF it won't connect, i'll turn off and back on bluetooth on both devices and it usually does the trick. If not, reboot and try again!
Good Luck!
And don't forget desk sms one of the best imho

I tried "wifi file transfer pro" & "wifi file explorer pro" both detects the phone's internal and external memory but when I try to copy files over from my PC to the phone. It will display some kind of error and the actual files don't appear even though it's shown as 100% transferred using both apps..
However, I can create new folders using these apps.. strange..
What's the reason, anyone knows?
Not sure what the issue is on your phone. wifi file transfer pro works fine on my GS3.

Ok, I found the reason.. When I use wifi file transfer pro and set the upload mode using flash, it doesn't work properly but the normal way is fine
Could it be browser related? I'm using FF 14..
FF beta ???

try to reset your wifi & clear data of wifi file transfer
is there an app that turns your android device into a wifi drive? like air stash.... i have tried on air app but it actually requires you to be connected to a wireless network... what i want is an app that turns your android device into a wifi access point drive (with no wifi network needed in between)
I know you can use Bluetooth to transfer files. But an app to transfer files using your data connection as a "substitute" wifi hotspots and then being able to directly transfer files over the connection? Sounds good but I've never heard of such an app. Obviously u can tether but all that does is share the internet data connection with other devices.

i actually want the android device to be used exactly as the air stash without a third party network in between... considering the high price of the air stash, i rather buy a cheap Chinese android tablet instead that i could use like the air stash(if an app to do so exists)
