[Q] ANDROID wifi file transfer

Is there is any application in android like symbian to share data within mobile without any mediator...............
I search alot I got an application to share data between mobile-pc but no mobile-mobile or pc-mobile
Tried Bluetooth file transfer?
Edit :u meant sharing ?
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
yes i mean sharing
I would like to do sharing via wifi because it has much greater speed than bluetooth
as I tried sharing through wifi mobile-pc i got data transfer speed of 1mbps
Finally I got a way to share pc-mobile connection using wifi through esexplorer lan tab
But still i am looking for mobile-mobile wifi data sharing
Try a combination of ES or File Expert with SwiFTP (Mobile FTP server). All are free on the market.
uh in market there is wifi file explorer just used it

I just wanted to know that the above method requires internet or is it ad hoc connection without connecting to same network??
I mean can u transfer files between PC and mobile through wifi just like Bluetooth without the need of internet??

You can set a hotspot from the first phone and connect the other to it.

its ad hoc connection it doesnt need internet connection we can transfer and take the as we do in bluetooth sharing
The application which is required is wifi file explorer pro....
(i am attaching that below)
you have to connect your mobile through wifi connectivity than to run this software,
than open the web browser and feed the local address as given by the application thats it.............
you have access over your phone sd card via pc through wifi....

The country China has a firewall set up so specific websites like Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter etc. can't be accessed. This is what he means.
EDIT: Lol, sorry you beat me to it.

Cannot work. Unable to connect for me.
You could perhaps use AutoProxy and dig up a proxy on a non-firewalled port to connect. There was a time when Proxy Hunter on Windows was good for finding them, but it has been years since I have used it.
http://hidemyass.com/proxy-list/ has a reasonably fresh list.

Vpn is the answer, but you need server outside of china. I'm sure there's some app that can do that, but again, you need server. Vpn is virtual private network, like proxy but more sofisticated.

Use a proxy program...i use Ultrasurf, its portable and free, i think its gona work

VPN is the only thing I found to work.
A free option that somewhat works is DroidVPN (on the market) but for the heavy stuff I just use my house VPN provider, StrongVPN has a nice deal where if you buy one VPN account for the house you can get a second one for a very cheap price, I use the second one on my phone.
Their prices are reasonable at around 60$ per year.
I heard there are specific places in china where the internet isnt filtered o-0.

When I was there, I used sshtunnel to connect to my Linux box at home, which had sshd listening on 443. Worked perfectly.
Forgot to mention, there are sites out there that let you test access from China to your home IP prior to going there.

Actually I am using iwasel VPN service on my android without rooting my device, it gives me 6 connections at the same time with perfect speed and security, here you can find a discount code https://www.iwasel.org/en/trysmoketunnelfree/ and you can get an account for trial before paying money.

You will need to set up a VPN to bypass the Chinese firewall.

As stated above. A little more info. The Chinese government is allowed to monitor all traffic by its citizens. As such they block most outside competitors like Google and fb mostly due to them not allowing the government access to the info.

WiFi Proxy

Hi does anyone know any way to use a proxy with WiFi for work etc. ?
Sent from my LT26i using xda
if you mean exposing a wired ethernet inernet connection(at office etc) through your laptop to wifi for tablets etc to connect and you have in intel wifi card supporting it, you could do intel My wifi feature. i have it on my Samsung core i7 laptop. it works flawless!
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Sorry I don't think I was explicit enough.
I really ment there isn't any proxy setting in the WiFi menu and was wondering if there was a way to input the proxy settings so that I can uee the WiFi at work.
Thanks

Gingerbread doesnt have a proxy feature. You can use Opera Mobile to browse(did that in college) but apps still wont work.
There are apps that can proxify things, but they require root which was an issue at the time for me.
Ok thanks I'll use that for the meantime
What apps would you recommend if I was to root my device?

the ICS update should fix it as on ARC/One X official ICS ROMs we can manually define proxy servers when u add wifi connection
Ok thanks guys, I've just rooted it so I'll try autoproxy. Can't wait for ICS though

Smart Remote requires internet connection?

I remember on my lg g pro I could use the remote application without internet connection but for some reason Samsung won't let you use the remote without connecting to the internet for a cable show schedule update. What if we don't have internet , why would they limit the use of the ir remote... Anyone have a solution to using the remote when you have no connection ?
Who is your cable provider?
jamboxboy said:
I dont have wifi and it works fine. I Posted a screen shot. Is this what your talking about. It's just asking to use your phone data to use the remote. Press OK and follow the setup.
