Hi All,
I'm trying to map network drive using the Resco Explorer, however Resco does not see the SAMBA (3.2.5) shares
There is nothing in sambas log suggesting the HD2 is trying to connect.
I had no problems with wm6.1 but on my 6.5.x it doesn't work.
I was searching the forum but couldn't find the answer. Anyone has an idea? Maybe someone managed to solve this?
maybe this?

instead of COMPUTER\DISK, try this: \\COMPUTER\SharedDocs (=name of the shared folder on my pc)
this works with me, good luck!

Yep, I did exactly this the other day.
Resco doesn't see samba shares directly (like a windows PC would see them in my network places or whatever), so you have to tell Resco the location.
I have an ubuntu server called "ubuntu", and my shares are "music", "photos" and so on. To get resco to see the shares I typed:
\\ubuntu\music
\\ubuntu\photos
etc...
Note, it wont work based on IP addresses (that was what originally caused my problem).
To find out your PC name (if you don't know it) on a windows machine, hold the windows key, hit pause break, and then click on computer name (this is for XP).
Cheers.
blog post about this very subject
I got it too sometimes. I dont know the reason tho.
But hey it is so easy to set it up manually.
It is longer but will work anyways. Try the method the guy 2 posts above me posted with \\COMPUTERNAME\SHAREDFOLDER
WIll work if you are in the same network.
Ah and make sure not to connect via mobile network but with WiFi as then you are not in the same net.
Thanks all of you!
It works at least partially...
Works for shares without password, doesn't work for password protected shares.When i put \\computer\myshare and then press ok then I'm asked for user name and password. As soon as I fill them in the application freezes (maybe it tries to connect?) I gave it 5 minutes and then I had to reset HD2
Strange problem
I reinstalled resco but no improvements.
Thanks again
Yeah i noticed that one too.
Do not use pass protection on shares.
It must be a bug in the Resco Explorer.
Before i thought i made a fault but i never tried it out again as i assume a freeze as not too good for the device LOL
I'm not sure where the problem is. I tried the same on P3600 (trinity) with wm6.5. It does not freeze, but is re-asking for credentials, so I guess there are two problems:
1) resco on hd2 freezes (probably when the resco cannot connect - bug)
2) authentication problem?
Probably I'll skip the password protection until someone will find the solution...
Works fine here. It sees the shares on my XP machine, but not on the 2 Win7 ones so I have to enter them manually for those. All 3 have password protection.
On one of the W7 machines it "freezes" for about 10 seconds the first time I access the share after a soft reset, for the others it comes instantly. But that particular volume is huge (a 80% full 1.5TB drive) so it might have to do with it if it lists the contents, the others only have like 30GB on them.
You might want to try menu->settings, if you have data active as well as wifi then uncheck autodetection, and delete the network entry (or entries) that aren't your local wifi.
It can happen that it finds nothing or hangs if it tries searching the cell provider's network (that can have tons of hosts) instead of your local one.

Yes - no problem for windows, I'm struggling with SAMBA (linux) shares.
Fixed freezing/credential issues when mapping drives on my HD2
Hi guys,
I had the same problem of my HTC HD2 freezing in the Network Log On dialogue when trying to map a drive, and also the issue where I was repeatedly asked for credentials which would never save. I managed to solve this issue, though in my case the problem was actually due to the network share settings on my NAS device (which is a QNAP TS-109).
What I did to remedy my problem was:
Go to the Administration page through the web-based interface for my TS-109.
Go to the Access Right Management menu.
Go to the Share Folders section.
Click on the Access Control icon for the folder I wanted to map.
Under the Guest Access Right drop-down menu I changed Deny Access to Read Only.
After that I was able to log in with my admin username and password, and to save the mapped drive on my HTC HD2 (I mapped drives successfully using both Resco File Explorer 2010 and HTC Network Plugin 1.0).
Hopefully this will work for anyone else experiencing this problem with a QNAP NAS, or if not then hopefully following similar steps on your NAS will yield favourable results.
Kate.
I am using HD2 with a Qnap NAS . Initially , got problem mapping drive as described by previous post . I did not do any changes on NAS . But , in the resco password page , i uncheck permanent login . Seems did the trick . Able to mapped folder on the NAS , even Hidden folders also . Hope this helps .

I've post this in Resco Explorer Forum, just yesterday:
Re: File Explorer hangs when mapping Network Drive on WM 6.5
First, excuse me for my bad english (I'm italian).
I think to be solved the bug in this mode (I've a Netgear STORA NAS):
- select "Work" instead of "Internet settings" in wi-fi network adapter
- select "Work" instead of "Internet settings" in your wi-fi connection
Now, I can succesfully map all my shared resources and add them in "My Network", but I can't use wi-fi to connect in Internet.
So I've revert both the above settings to "Internet settings" ad all it's ok, browsing in Internet and accessing to my network folder on NAS.
I think that the bug is present only when we try to map a network folder the first time.
I hope to be useful to solve our problem.
Bye
Although last post is long time ago, and mine is too recent. yet I hope it would be useful to somebody, and be able to repay the great advantages I myself got from XDA forum.
HardwareC with Win7 Home Prem, HTC HD2 with RescoExplorer v.8, Wifi Connection
first, as most of the posts, I can see PC while mapping in RescoExplorer.
yet when expanding the +, I had to enter username and password, then I get an error.
well, what I did is that I shared a folder with everyone full access on my PC.
then on resco mapping I typed the full path, i.e. \\computername\sharedfolder
then, I got it...
NOTE: when exiting Resco, and accessing the mapped folder, I still had to enter my windows username and password to access my PC shared folder that has no password...
Thus, I think when sharing a folder with a password, Resco goes nuts. for two passwords must be applied...

Hi,
I need help on how to browse my home LAN. Weeks ago, with the previous rom, i was able to browse the LAN using total commander. Now that I've upgraded, i've tried in all the ways known to me, but never succeeded to.
I've tried using the File Explorer as explained in this tutorial, and it doesn't work: a balloon tip comes up saying that i "can't connect using the current settings" (i've already configured my gprs connection that works well with all other apps...wtf i need to configure then??)
I've tried using total commander, but here it says "error 53 while connecting" and then "error 0" ... The guy on TCce's support forum says that this means that the network path is not found, but it is not true.
I'm left to Resco file explorer, which i uninstalled some time ago coz i felt it was useless...
EDIT: Ok, i've isntalled Resco and it doesn't work! It finds my computer and shows its shares, but after having finished the procedure, the Network section doesn't show up at all! If I click on th enetwork shares button, the share i've just created is there, but clicking it, nothing happens!!!! I'M GONNA THROW MY UNI ON THE WALL!!
Please please please, help me solve without installing resco (even if I think that won't be a solution, too!)
and you didn't have to be connected in active sync when you were browsing the other computers? that's awesome! i have so much music to go through and i just do it upstairs! swwweeettt next on the to do list

Ummm what?
No i'm not connected to active sync... i don't understan what are you talking about...
i was able to connect to my networked computers with resco explorer 2005
Guys I've gotten this to work with the basic file explorer in wm6. The only problem I've found it that you can't open IP numbers but only the actual name of the computer I.e. your IP may be 192.168.0.6 but the computer name is Laptop1
If you "open path" from the menu \\Laptop1\ then it seems to work fine. hope this helps. I don't actually think you need resco. This work over wifi and actusync for me
yeah, that's what i discovered as well, but also resco is a much better file explorer, and from there you can just clock on netwrk/map drives, and blam!
it's pretty awesome.
Try this cab, it's Network Plugin for WM6 but i'm using this plugin in WM5 and work great http://www.4shared.com/file/28269154...5/NetPlug.html
Hi,
I have my Vario III connected to the home wireless setup. The Vario III can access the Internet without a problem. It can also access internal web services without problems. However, what it cant seem to do is open a UNC path via File Explorer, i.e. \\server1\share. I get path cannot be found. I've tried it with the IP address as well. i.e. \\192.168.x.y\share. Still doesn't work.
I am not even challenged for user credentials. I am an IT pro of 8 years and can swear on oath that my networking setup is sound (these are shares that I use every day from a variety of devices in and around the house).
Can someone tell me what WM6's File Explorer's "Open Path" function is actually good for? I remember being able to successfully browse network shares on a Dell Axim (PPC2005) device not to long ago.
If someone has a moment could you please see if yours works. Have come across a few people with the same problem (after Googling the problem). However, no solution found to date.
Thanks
Youtube App: "Connection Failed" on HTC Diamond 2 and some general Questions
Hi, I just bought my HTC Diamond 2 [Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro] last month and the Youtube App is the one that is pre-installed on my phone.
My carrier is At&t and the connection is EDGE.
My problem is when I open the youtube app, I get the message: "Warning: Connection failed. Please try again." I checked that my internet is working because I can browse different sites through Opera and I can still update the weather. I found out that youtube app works perfectly fine ONLY when my diamond2 is connected to my laptop via ActiveSync. As soon as I disconect it, the message returns and the videos in my history will not load anymore.
I searched the forum for similar problems and had tried opening Internet Explorer etc with no success. I don't think anyone mentioned that their youtube app actually worked [ONLY] when it's connected to a pc. Please help! I want to use it on the go, not when I'm near my laptop.
Some general questions:
I had no success in trying to increase Window Opera's max tab to 5 (the default is at 2!!!) through opera:config [this thing will not save!!] The other option is to copy the opera.ini file from \windows\opera9 directory to the pc and manually change it. How do I get to "windows" from my pc? I see it when I go to File Explorer from my phone but when I connect my phone to the pc via ActiveSync, I do not see the "Windows" file in my laptop. If it's hidden somehow, how do I unhide it? If not how do I get to this file?
The second question I have is how do I get to the registry of the phone?
This Diamond2 is my first smartphone so I'm extremely new to Window Mobile and pocket PC's in general. Just want to say that I'm grateful for all the stuff I learned from exploring this forum. Any additional help is also appreciated.
anyone? about my youtube problem?

For Youtube : Go to Settings > Connections Tab > Connections (Again ^^) > Advanced > Select Networks, and be sure you have choose the right DATA connection to connect.
For Opera : You have to be sure you click "Save" on opera:config, when you click on a sub-section, it deploys the section, and at the bottom of the section you have "Save".
By the way, if you want to access to your Windows directory (for another thing, soft), install Total Commander on your diamond2 (Google it). Or with your PC : If you have XP, open an explorer, Tools (on the top) > Folders Options > go to the second TAB and search the option to display all folders.
(For Vista/Seven : Organize > Folder & Search options. On an explorer window.)
For the registry, you can access to the registry with TotalCommander, or an another soft (with more functionnality) : PHM Regedit (Google it )
If you have others questions.
Hi, I've found my answers for those general questions by searching through this and other forums. But thanks anyway for answering them.
Back to youtube, I still have no success in getting this thing to work. What do you mean by "choose the right DATA connection to connect"? When I am in "Select Networks," I have a list of choices: My ISP name, MEdia Net, AT&T ISP, My Work Network, and My ISP. It is in MEdia Net when I first went in and MEdia Net seems to be the only connection that allows me to get online, all the others failed when I changed to it. I guess that's the right DATA connection to connect?
Then it's the same situation with that youtube App, I can go online but I get this error message when I open the youtube app.
Again I'm in the US, with AT&T's EDGE data connection. Thanks.
hum i don't know! have you a stock ROM or a custom? if it's a custom try to know on the ROM topic if any similar problem appear.
Do you use any proxy settings for your data connections? you don't have result with search on XDA?
My rom is not custom, it's whatever it is when I bought the phone. And no proxy setting. Searched the forum, found some youtube "connection failed" threads but it's either a different problem and got fixed or I tried the solution with no result.
Right now I think I will search for another wvga youtube player and install that, see if a different one works.
bump* I was searching the forum and didn't find this solution posted anywhere so I chose this thread to post the solution (at least it worked for my Tilt2 Rhodium).
I had the problem with my Tilt2 (Rhodium). See if yours has this:
Go to Start-Tools-Proxy Manager-Disable Proxy
After I ran that cab file (Disable Proxy) the Youtube app worked.
I have a HTC Diamond "1" with the same problem. After selecting a clip to watch I get the same message.
Unfortunately, I can't find a "proxy manager" on my settings.
So any other suggestions? Thanks.
I also have this issue on my Rhodium. There is no "proxy manager" setting anywhere I've seen on the device. Plus, my YouTube app doesn't even have accessible settings.
Im having a very similar issue but my youtube app opens displays todays top videos or whatever and it also searches and displays the results but when i tap to watch a video it just sits there loading until it finally says connection failed. I think a simple reinstall of the app would fix the issue but I cant find the cab anywhere except the new app which has horrible video quality but it works lol.
Im not to sure where to look for this but i was looking for information on how to access my home network to access and play songs, vids over a wifi connection to play files straight off my computer or my Hard Drive.
My gf's Samsung omnia hd comes with a programme/application to do so any help would be appreciated. Thanks

i used to use this, but since i got my HD2, i've been using Resco Explorer too! it's fantastic!
Network HD2
I've now got Resco Explorer after seeing this thread but still have no idea how to go about setting up the network.
Step by step instructions please, anyone?
Many thanks in advance.
You don't need 3rd party software for this - you can do it with file explorer.
Open file explorer
Do Menu, Goto, Open path, New path
Enter the shared folder name
Click OK
It's then available from the dropdown at the top left where you can change from device to storage card and back.
Network HD2
Hmmm... tried that, all seemed to go well, then it said it "cannot connect to server due to settings". Even though i'm connected via wifi and can get online thru various other programs!
Tried getting the internet settings from o2 UK and their website "cannot connect to this service at the moment" !
I think someone is trying to tell me not to do this!!

Hi everyone,
I've put together an 8 minute video guide that demonstrates how (using an FTP
server) you can transfer files between your Phone and a computer over a WiFi
home network (natively through Windows explorer).
I've tried to make it fairly beginner friendly and its available in all resolutions including 1080p:
You can view the video full size here: http://youtu.be/5EV9PfPXbz8
HELP & FAQ:
Applying the tutorial to an older Windows OS:
Windows Vista:
As far as I can recall, the method shown in my video should be virtually (if not completely) identical for Windows Vista Users. If you think I've missed something though, please let me know and I'll update accordingly.
Windows XP:
Mapping the Android FTP Server location in Windows XP should also work just fine. However, I don't think you can access the "add new network location" wizard in the manner shown in the video at 03:30 (I could be wrong). From memory - I believe you need to do the following instead:
a) Open 'My Computer' from the start menu or desktop shortcut
b) From the 'TOOLS' menu select 'MAP NETWORK DRIVE'
c) Click the link "Sign up for Online Storage or Connect to a Network Server"
d) Select "Choose a custom Network Location"
e) I think this should bring you pretty much back in line with the video at 03:45
Mac OS:
I'm not a Mac expert, but perhaps you can try the following...
Follow the video up to the point where I switch over to my PC (03:15), then try this on your Mac:
a) Press Command+K to launch the “connect to server” dialogue
b) Enter the Wifi/FTP URL from the phone app into the address field
c) Click on the “+” icon if you want to save as a favourite
d) Press Connect
e) Enter your Username and Password when prompted & press connect again
f) You should then be able to browse the contents of your phone as a local folder.
g) Rejoin video at 06:50
Web Browser:
Although the aim of this video is to avoid having to use a web browser, you can enter the 'WiFi URL' generated by the Android App (visible at 03:05) into the address bar of any FTP enabled web browser (eg. Firefox / Internet Explorer).
TROUBLESHOOTING
Worked Initially, then stopped:
If you were initially successful in getting everything to work, but some time later you find that you can't connect - this may be related to your router's DHCP configuration. Some routers allocate IP addresses on a dynamic/time lease basis. If your router is configured in this way, your phone's IP address may change every time it re-connects to your local network (thus invalidating the WiFi URL that we copied from your phone during the tutorial). If this is the case, you'll need to refer to your router's documentation and try to assign a static IP to your phone.
Error 550 (CHMOD):
If this error crops up immediately upon trying to access a location on your phone (eg. a sub folder), you have probably entered an invalid path in the "Stay Within Folder" field during the app configuration. Double check the path that you entered and make sure that you didn't accidentally deleted the preceding slash (/) too.
If this error only appears when trying to delete or move files, it could be a couple of things. Do check the steps mentioned in the above paragraph, but also remember what I mentioned in the video about avoiding paths that act as a shortcut to another folder. For example, don't enter "/sdcard" in the "Stay Within Folder" field during configuration of the app. On my phone, this results in read only access to the MicroSD card. I found that I needed to specify the full path (eg. "/mnt/sdcard") to obtain full Read/Write access.
Invalid Handle Error:
This error may occur when trying to move or delete files from your phone. If so:
1) Double check (in the FTP server setup on your phone) that you haven't added a trailing slash (/) after the path specified in the "Stay Within Folder" field.
2) You can also get this error if you start the FTP server, then launch an app that needs access to the folder containing the files you want to move or delete (eg. The Camera / gallery app). Simply exiting the app may solve this. If not:
a) exit your app
b) Stop the FTP server using the home screen widget
c) Restart the FTP server using the home screen widget
d) try again before launching your app.
No WIFI URL:
If you start the FTP server but don't receive a Wifi URL, double check that your phone's WiFi connection is turned on. This may sound obvious, but it could be an easy one to overlook.
Firewall Issues:
If you're convinced that you have everything set up correctly but you simply can't connect to the server - a firewall could be the cause of your problems..
If you're not familiar with firewalls, you may want to disconnect from the internet and temporarily disable your firewall completely to see if this solves your problem. If it does, at least you'll have a starting point. If not, you may need to look a little closer at any filtering rules on your router.
Unfortunately I can't help troubleshoot every possible combination, but generally speaking, you should double check that your internal network is configured as a trusted zone and that there are rules allowing (or no rules blocking) traffic on the required port ip / address etc. For example, 'ESET Smart Security' users will probably want to pay specific attention to the 'Network Filtering' options.
Good luck.
Bugsy.

Regarding AOKP 4.0.4, are you using a Galaxy SII / Nexus? If so, I think I've heard about people having trouble with widgets before. I think you have to drag them out of the widget draw instead. Does that make sense?

Regarding AOKP 4.0.4, are you using a Galaxy SII / Nexus? If so, I think I've heard something similar to this before. I think the solution involved having to drag the widgets out of the application menu (or something like that). Can you give that a try?

No I'm using a sensation. Tried adding it by the widget menu and it didnt work. Then I rebooted to get the widget to show in the widget drawer so I can drag it but it didn't show up.

Hmm.. In that case I'm afraid I really don't know. Unfortunately I've never tested AOKP, so I don't have any first hand experience to go on.
Off the top of my head, my suggestion would be to try widgets from several other market apps and see if any of them act in the same way. I realise that won't solve your problem, but it could go some way towards establishing the source of it.
Best of luck,
Bugsy,

Thanks for your suggestion.
I’ve actually used AirDroid before, but while it is a great app in its own right - its file management capabilities only seem to go as far as letting you export stuff from your MicroSD card in a zip archive.
The method I show in the video is certainly more cumbersome initially (hence the reason for making it), but I find the end result more functional for simply copying/moving/deleting files.

I'm not a Mac expert, but perhaps you can try the following and let me know if it works?...
Follow the video up to the point where I switch over to my PC (03:15), then try this on your Mac:
a) Press Command+K to launch the “connect to server” dialogue
b) Enter the Wifi/FTP URL from the phone app into the address field
c) Click on the “+” icon if you want to save as a favourite
d) Press Connect
e) Enter your Username and Password when prompted & press connect again
f) You should then be able to browse the contents of your phone as a local folder.
g) Rejoin video at 06:50
I hope that works...
Cheers,
Bugsy

Please let me know how you get on. I don't have a mac to hand, so it would be good to know that I'm not adding useless info to the FAQ
