Phone not finding Networked PC in My House - Touch Pro2 CDMA

Can anyone help me? Trying to get my TP2 to connect to my hard drives on my home PC, and be able to use printer shared on my home network...
It connects to my wifi router but it doesn't see my PC or printer.

Try this cab I'm attaching. Its Schaps_NetworkPlugin_1_0_30468_1. It will show up in Settings, connections...click on Network plug in. You have to then tick on the box that says "Enable Network Folders". It will ask you to soft reset your device. When its done resetting, go back to settings, connections, network plug in. Make sure your TP2 is connected to your network, and that your drives are shared in the network, then open the network plug in. Tap on "New" at the bottom of your screen, then tap on the "browse" tab. Open up the tree for network neighborhood and search for your drive on your network. It may ask for a password & log in. If your pc has no password, leave everything blank and make sure the save password option is ticked on. Tap OK for the password screen, and save the password. When you find the drive you want to access, you tap and hold on the drive to either explore it once in file explorer, or map it so that it always appears on file explorer (As long as your connected through wifi of course). If you map the drive, everytime your wifi is enabled and connected and the host pc is on and connected, you should be able to view your host pcs drives through the file explorer in your TP2. Hope this helps. I use this feature alot myself.
PS. In file explorer the mapped drive will show up in the root folder of the device in a folder called "Network"

Thanks for the file... I have got it working but whenI browse for my network, I find Network Neighborhood and then the tree goes to my Pc (name). It does not show any of my drives on the "PC" ? Do I need to create "network drives" on my desktop machine or should it map to my drives through my computer ID?
Thanks so much

You have to share your drives on your pc. Right click on the drive(s) you want to access and click properties, click the sharing tab and set it up there for sharing. Make sure you give read write and copy access to the drive before you hit OK. If you need more detailed help with setting up the drives on your network let me know and I will help. Please provide details on what OS you are using (I.E. Windows XP, Vista, 2000 ect.) Also be aware that once you share those drives on your pc, anyone with access to your network, even through your wifi, will have access to those drives so make sure you have either a mac address filter on your wireless router or some form of encryption so outsiders don't access your personal files. (I am a computer technician by trade as you can see....lol) Again any further help needed on the sharing let me know. I am always willing to help.

Thanks for the reply and the advice. I did get it connected. I did not realize that I needed to enter my login user name and password (for my desktop pc) to creat the connection. I was just bypassing the login info!

Simple question?

Can i use internet connection from my PC (connected by cable - 512/64 speed) to surf on my mobile device?
I have c600, windows mobile 6.0, data cable ,...
on the other side i have cable net w. cable modem, speed 512/64, Windows XP SP2, Active Sync,...
if the answear is YES than can i split connection between PC and mobile.
(for example. 1/4of the speed uses mobile device and the rest for PC)
THX!
You should be able to as long as you had the option to do advanced network sharing (or whatever it's called) selected when you first mated the phone with the PC in ActiveSync. If you're not able to, delete the mating, and re-do it. You will see it - it's impossible to mate the phone without acknowledging this prompt (in ActiveSync v4.5).
As far as bandwidth sharing, I don't think you can split it up like that. The phone is using the PCs bandwidth, and I'm not sure if you can go into your routers settings to allocate bandwidth allocation. Why would you want to do that anyway?

Bluetooth file sending w. laptop not working?

Hello,
i was trying to copy certain files from my laptop to phone via bluetooth but could just not get it all working. I have BT turned on (both devices), they manage to connect via rather cumbersome set of dialogues (on laptop) but then I can only explore "services" on the device, whatever that is....
How do I send a file from lets say laptop desktop to the phone? And where can I locate it on the phone?
Thank you !
If you can explore services try looking for Bluetooth file transer service. It should open up the bluetooth shared folder which is common to both your phone and the computer. Drag and drop items from your phone or computer onto this folder and you should see them on either device. Default location of the bluetooth shared folder on your phone should be under my documents.
Thank you, will try that tomorrow back at the office
If you are using Vista, turning user account control off might help.
Mine is working now.
I gave up trying, too. Never have had any success with HTC phones, but SE phones always worked. Go figure.
Instead, I have networked/mapped my desired drives (with Resco File Explorer) of my laptop and desktop systems with the Fuze and and transfer files via WiFi that way. Works great and is fast.
Have you tried checking the box "receive all incoming beams"? It is located under settings and then the connections tab. Once there click on the Beam icon and make sure that box is checked. I couldn't send any files form my laptop to my phone until that was checked off.

blue tooth and mac

how can i sync and transfer to and fro my tp2 and mac book pro?
thanks guys
If you have snow leopard, its supposed to have activesync.
If you're still on an older OS, there is a ($40) program called missing sync.
What I did is went the totally free route and bounced contacts through google. First enable addressbook to sync to google, then have phone sync to google. I've only tried it with contacts, its supposed to be able to do email and calendar from google to phone as well.
OBEX push also works from my hackintosh to the phone, but not in reverse for files.
The sync app in sl doesn't work. Already tried. Nothing on mac works. I want to transfer files etc from tp2 to mac and nothing works.
Did you try the file transfer setting in the Bluetooth settings?
On the phone? I probably did but right now not sure exactly what you mean. Sorry.
Go to Bluetooth settings, expand on Advanced (+ arrow), click on File Transfer, choose a location to receive files. Set your phone to discoverable.
On Mac, click on Bluetooth icon in menu bar (usually top right), click on Browse Device, choose your phone from list, click ok.
On phone you'll be prompted to pair with Mac and enter a 4 digit passcode of your choice, do that. Mac will prompt for same passcode, enter same 4 digit passcode. Accept all communications from Mac on phone.
Now, on Mac, the Bluetooth File Exchange utility will display the contents of whatever folder (or memory card) you chose as your save folder. Drag and drop files to it or from it and that's it.
I might update later with screenshots when i have time.
I already paired and entered the code thingy. But did not know anything about a utility in the mac blue tooth menu. I only tried the transfer on phone and nothing happened on mac or the phone could not see mac to transfer. The active sync or whatever it is on the mac sees the phone but says it can't sync with it. So I'll look in the bluetooth menu. F it works this is cool.
How fast would it transfer music from my MacBook pro to the phone?
Thanks alot for telling me about the utility in the Bluetooth menu on mac.
While I don't own a Mac, I know my brother in law has had success with bluetooth for transfering files between my Vogue and his mac as well as the use of it for a personal area network.
Have you tried using the use as drive option when you connect it by usb? this (I would think as it just acts as a uSB key) should work as long as you have a memory card in your phone. It won't "sync" though.

[Q] Initiate Bluetooth transfer FROM tablet - how?

I'd like to be sitting on a beach with a beautiful Irish redhead - ah, excuse me already wandering ... I'd like to be sitting outside and if I need something from my PC, I'd like to fire up a bluetooth app and connect and get what I want. BUT it seems that everything is initiated from the PC.
Can someone point me in the right direction (both to the beach and the solution)?
But everything

You could set up a server on your computer, and access it via your tablet with an app like ES File Manager. Are you trying to send files or receive them from your tab?

I've been trying to get ES FM to work, it starts the BT service then spends hours (if let it) trying to get the file list from the PC - they are paired, but traveling from the tablet to the PC never works, but I can reverse it and transfer from the PC to the Tablet.
I'd really like it both ways. I also have Medevils (sp) Bluetooth File Transfer, but that can't connect to the PC.
SO, it would seem I'm missing the drivers, or config on the PC.

Its impossible to access EVERYTHING on your computer. For obvious security reasons.
What i would recommend, is simply creating a folder on your Windows PC, sharing that file across your network, then using ES navigate to that networked folder. Then, if you need something that isnt in that networked folder, use VNC to access and control your PC and simply copy the file to the networked folder. Then you got what you want

The sharing isn't the problem - it's the lack of being able to connect via BT. I can via WiFi but do not want to due to where I am.

Well think about it. If I could push files from my computer to my tablet, pretty much anyone with Bluetooth can...
Wi-Fi is your only option..

I DO push files TO my tablet from my PC. But the reason no one else can is that they're paired and the tablet will/can only accept files from the PC, anything else and I'm notified and have to allow. I wait too long and the sender errors out.
I can do it with WiFi in both directions, and with BT from PC to tablet. I just can't FROM Droid to PC.
THAT is the basis of my original post.

No i understand what you are saying. I should have worded my post more clearly.
What i am trying to say is that you can only initiate a Bluetooth transfer from the device sending the file for security reasons. You cant "pull" a file for instance. But i would try to use WiFi to take control of your PC then push the file to the tablet via VNC from the tablet. So for instance, you are controlling the PC from your tablet, now you have full control as if you were sitting in front of your computer. Then to send a file from your tablet to the computer, just use Root Explorer or a similar browser app that allows sharing with bluetooth, then send the file from the tablet, use the VNC view to control your computer and accept the connection and file.

Thanks for clarifying. Now that I've thought about it, I realize that all of my BT exchanges have been a transfer from a device, they've never initiated a pull. For all the years I've used BT it's never occurred to me what was happening - in Windows a coupla clicks and " ... do you want to send a file or receive ..." yet even when you say receive, you have to move to the OTHER device to start it. hum...... being too poor to pay more attention I guess that's what happens.
As far as WiFi, I've used that in this senario, but we're staying in an RV park for awhile, and although they have good WiFi ( they should, I built it), it's too slow. I think I've simpler solution to elegant idea, the LAN Shares plug-in with Total Commander allows back and forth transfers, just tunnel inside a VPN.
Thank you again for clarifying - I could have died trying trying to get this to work.

I need to control my pc with my android phone from far away

I have an xperia c4 which is marshmallow 6.0 and a windows 10 desktop pc. I will be 500 km away from home for a while. The thing is, I want to be able to browse some stuff on my pc from far away, once I get the computer on I know I can do it with chrome remote desktop but I want to know how can I do the pre-work so I can get the computer on with phone from 500 km away. Any info is appreciated thanks in advance. I know that wake on lan thing btw but I think it needs both devices on same network I assume?

True.
OP You need to check your Bios For a wake on alarm funtion to turn on at a specfic time of day or a wake on lan function in your bios.
Obviously the Alarm function has some limits that being that It will only turn back on at a specific time of day and you'll have to wait until then if its been shut off. Another thing you could do I mentioned above is if your bios supports a wake on lan function to enable that Plug your pc directly into the Router/Modem via ethernet. Make sure it's one that has internet access and take note of your ip address. You can find on google by searching just "IP" if your ip is not formatted like 111.222.333.444 and instead looks like a bunch of hex Characters that's your IPV6 a0dress to find your IPV4 address which you'll connect with you may need to login to your router and look around a bit its usually under something along the lines of Advanced>Connection Info/Settings and follow the steps in the video here as someone posted above.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pDjjMO3az84 Note you're going to want to use the second option as far as the android app goes because you're not going to be on your home network while being abroad(obviously). Once you get either setup a wake on alarm or wake on lan setup you can then install teamviewer. I recommend making an account then adding your PC to teamviewer and setting a custom password that you'll remember to connect to it. Also make sure the teamviewer services are on automatic as they need to be started when the machine boots on not after login.
After that you should be all set if you need further help with anything as i probably missed something just ask Also this is really messy I'm pretty tired it being almost 2am

Well, I there is no wake on lan on my bios but I found these; Ring in power on, Boot from onboard Lan, pci devices power on.
I think these are relevant so I enabled all of them.,
And I tried the video btw. I tried to wake the pc on wifi network but it did not work :/ so all of these mean i cannot turn my pc on remote?
