Has anyone installed new codec on TCL 43P20? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
So I'm just trying to install some more codecs on the smart TV, but it doesn't let you download apk files and doesn't even show them in the file browser from the USB drive.
I've tried using the ES file explorer trick, but the TV doesn't show up on the scan (yes both on the same wifi network).
Has anyone been able to install things on this TV?

network issue

Hello there,
i would like to acess my home network with my x10 mini. There is a connection to my wireless network and internet connection works fine, but I canĀ“t acess my telephone via PC.
Is there any way to copy files from PC over WLAN to X10 mini?
Maybe any apps?
thanks
Yup, there are a few.
DavDrive sets up a webdav server on the phone - WinXP can connect to this (I'm not sure if it works on vista/win7) and you can browse your SD card and drag/drop files
Astro has a plugin that'll let you browse windows shares (so you can copy files from your PC directly from the phone)
ES File Explorer can handle windows shares directly, without needing a plugin.
Any others?

ES File Explorer has worked very well for me for browsing file shares.
I recommend using the WebSharing app for accessing your phone contents via browser through Wifi. Can copy, upload, download, move, delete, rename, etc all through your computer and it's VERY fast.

[Q] Archos 101 Gen8 File manager apk

Does anyone know the apk for the file manager that comes with Archos 101 Gen8 ? I like the UPNP/Network browser on where I can stream videos from my shared drives on the network. Is it possible to get that for other Android devices on the market? I've tried ES File explorer, Astro, etc. nothing is as good as the one from archos.
anyone?
ps, I want this for my NEXUS S and NEXUS One.
thanks

The file manager is useless on other devices for the purpose you want it.
The upnp browsing is done with djmount and not the file manager.
is there a DJmount type filemanager in the market?

I doubt it because djmount is a linux type program that maps upnp remote dirs to local dirs.

[Q] wifi file transfer from windows xp to android

Yes, I did search. I didn't find what I was looking for.
I have a Samsung Galaxy 5 player running gingerbread. I'm trying to access files on it from my WinXP box via wifi. This seems like it should be a very common thing to do, but I simply can't find it. If I plug it into a usb port, I can access the drives. Can this be done via wifi?
Again, I want to access the android from the PC. Not the other way around.
Thanks for any help.
Three possible solutions pop into my mind (I guess there are many more):
1) Use a ftp server on the phone and access the files using that.
2) Use AirDroid or a similar app. It will give you wireless access to your phone's file.
3) This includes something that you said you didn't necessarily want to do but should also work: Use an app such as ES File Explorer and connect to your Windows XP PC via network. You can share a folder over the network (with write access) and then you can copy files from your android to your pc. But I guess that is the least ideal solution of the above.
I hope that the apps mentioned above are available for your device and that a method works.
Thanks, Fabur. I'm sure one of them will work.
The reason that "android -> pc" isn't an option is that much of the time, I'm using it as a wifi camera to monitor what my dogs are doing elsewhere in the house. But it would be nice to be able to access the files on the player from my pc.

[Q] HOX+ Connect to TV via USB or WiFi

Hi, Before when I had my Desire HD, connected the phone via USB to TV, and could see the contents, also appeared a message asking me if I wanted to charge only, and now with the HOX+ the TV does not recognize any device, only charge
How I can play the contents of the phone on the TV via USB?
Thanks..
Charging only, because sdcard is not mounted as usb drive anymore, we have mtp device. If you are rooted you can try viper virtual sd card app
Sent from my HTC One X+ using XDA Premium App
Viper VirtualSD
Hi!
I flash Viper 1.6 on my HOX+ and try to use VirtualSD feature.
MTP is a terrible system, I try to use, but this failed a lot of times, copy large archives is impossible with MTP. And I lost the possibility of use my device like a USB drive to connect on TV, Radio, Decoder etc.
VirtualSD really works to create a virtual SD, my windows recognized this, and I able to copy files direct with windows explorer.
But, continues with errors. I try to copy a ISO file 2.3 Gb, and copy stops every time I tried.
I copied a file 600 Mb AVI with sucess, but when I try to view this archive on my digital decoder of Tv, the device is not recognized.
Someone have sucess on copy large files or play media files with VirtualSD in other devices than nothing a PC?
Sorry my poor english!

Go to an online shopping site (ebay preferably) and search for the mhl micro usb. Get the one that suites your liking. I got the red one meant for Samsung. Replicates screen on to tv.

TCL 55" U55P6006 P600 serie "developer"

Hi.
Anyone knows how to enter to the "developer" mode in this TV or how to install apks for it? I tested ES file manager, but it wount find my tv even i am same wifi connected. Also i tested this adb thingy but it wount connect/or cannot connect to it.
It has SmartTV 3.0 and own TCL TV+ appshop, but i need to install SmartIPTV app or PerfectPlayer. (It has OTTplayer but that aint good)
Latest firmware is V8-S586T02-LF1V290
Big thanks ahead.
Also tested this: TCPUDPDbg and port 8090...only text which i got there was "BYE!" xD
Works for me without any problems. Just install ES Explorer from the PlayStore. Maybe you should install aptoide via USB Stick and update it to a newer version.
