My USB cable no longer works for data transfers and Android File Transfer. How do I easily transfer files from my PC/Mac to the Amazfit watch please?
I'm running an Everest ROM on my Pace. Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for an app (and probable a windows programm) to share files from my PC to my smartphone. Connected to my laptop is a usb-external drive with 500GB. I like to access those files on my android, but dont want to use WLAN.
Is there a windows program which basically shares those files to my smartphone via usb?
In the end I whould like to see all files of the external drive on my smartphone.
with best regards

Is it possible to explore the SD card's contents on Android phone using Bluetooth connection ?
Years back when I had Sony K800, i switched on BT on phone and laptop, and I could see the K800 on the "My Computer" page.
then i could enter and explore and transfer files directly through the windows explorer.
Currently I have HTC Desire S, running Android 2.3.5 and Laptop CQ-45 (Compaq) running Vista.
But I am not able to explore the phone easily.
To transfer file I have to select each file, then start the BT file transfer wizard on laptop, which could either send or receive ONE file at a time.
if I try to send more than one file (pictures, few MBs), then only one gets sent and I have to restart the BT file wizard again to receive another file on the laptop.
I use this just if I need to transfer a few snaps i might have taken with the phone, for larger files (videos) i use the USB cable.
I installed the BT File Transfer app from the Market, but that also does not help.
Any other ways ?
My wifi is not always on, so i cannot use Airdroid or some such way.
Options are BT or USB.
thanks.
anyone ?
Nexus 9 to PC
Hi, this is my first post on any forum anywhere! usually i can google my way out of the problem, but i am stumped - it might be possible there is not a solution......
I have a nexus 9 with Word app, on which i create documents for work in .docx format. i need to transfer them to my PC for printing and further editing VIA USB as work policy won't allow the tablet to connect to work wifi or to use Cloud transfer.
I connect usb as MTP, see 'Internal Storage' - cannot find any of the word docs anywhere, i have tried to save them on a bunch of different places in the Nexus but still no joy. All of the guides i have seen end at the 'internal storage ' part and then say 'just transfer between pc and device'. I have been able to transfer pc to android and edit on Nexus, but then re-reading the file on the PC it is flagged as 'corrupted'.
Is there some software for the pc i need, or is it simply $$%"£"""£££ and i need to get a MS tablet for work?
thanks for any help!
Have you tried OTG cable? I normally use the cloud option or just have my work saved via email, but you certainly have the option to connect an OTG cable to your device with a flashdrive and use a file manager app to transfer files over while avoiding corruption.
Please excuse my ignorance here but I just received my new Stratos last week and wanted to load some new watchfaces. When I tried to drag the downloaded files to the watchface folder on the watch, it's locked and won't allow me to do so...what am I missing? Thanks in advance for any help.
What computer are you using? You need the proper MTP drivers installed fi you are running Win, or Android File Transfer for Mac. You simply connect the watch, it will mount as MTP and you can copy the files. If you have problems, try another USB port, cable or computer. As last resource, unpair and pair watch again (it will erase all data on watch).
Requirements:
- Amazfit watch, any model, any ROM (don't need to unlock anything and it will NOT void your watch's warranty, these are simple APKs);
- PaceOne and FileManager+ by AlphaInventor on watch, any FTP client on phone or computer.

This works with both phone and computer, you don't need USB cable and it works both ways: you can send files to watch and retrieve files too. Don't forget to disable WiFi on watch after you are done to prevent extreme battery drain if it remains on!
----- Procedure
1. Install PaceOn and Filemanager+ by AlphaInventor on watch;
2. Configure PaceOn to turn on WiFi and start its service so screen won't go off (you can use the dim option to use less battery) and the WiFi remains on;
3. Go to FileManager and start Access from Computer (lower right option), WiFi should be on already, tap on Start Service and note the number above (IP_numberort_number);
4. On your phone or computer, use a FTP client (the same app works for Android phones, pick your favorite on iOS) to create a new Remote Access using FTP, and connect using the previous info: IP_numberort_bumber, you can set *any* name as login and password.
Now you can send and receive files wirelessly to the watch using your phone or computer. As a bonus, you can use FileManager+ also to uninstall apps directly on watch and other stuff.
----- Extra Tip: How to Setup Without USB (using WiFi only)
How to use this when USB connection doesn't work? It's not hard, but you must keep your watch screen on until you can install PaceOn. First, go to watch Settings -> Connection and connect to a 2.4GHz network, then use any scanner tool to find out what is the IP used by the watch. You must keep the screen on or the connection will drop. Once you find the IP, use adb to connect to watch:
Code:
adb connect watch_IP
where watch_IP is the actual IP used by watch (in the pics below, it's 192.168.0.26, for instance). tThen you can install PaceOn and FileManager+ normally:
Code:
adb install app_name.apk
Install PaceOn first, then use it to activate WiFi and keep screen on so the watch won't disconnect.
----- Downloads & Apps
PaceOn can be found here (please *read* the post to learn how to use it, it has pictures and it's not hard):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...paceon-amazfit-pace-screen-long-want-t3700247
I am using FileManager + v1.7.1, that can be found here (newer versions may work too):
https://apkpure.com/file-manager/com.alphainventor.filemanager
You can use the same file to access the FTP server on your Android phone. For iOS, you can use FileExplorer or any other app with builtin FTP client:

For computer (all platforms), I recommend FileZilla:

Thanks! Lifesaving, after my USB-Connection dont Work anymore... with Installation of the Filemanager i was able to delete old MP3, to Upload new songs i can use the integrated function in the Amazifit-App, but you cant delete songs their...
Many Thanks!

Thank you very much! This worked for me in Amazfit Stratos 2 using FileManager 2.0, as 1.7.1 is no lnger available.
