FAQs
q: How can I share files with another device?
a: Look for an FTP client (every system like Android, iOS and Windows Phone has its own).

q: How can I disable anonymous access?
a: Please follow the instructions in the help (open the menu from the main page of the application).
q: How can I automate the application start/stop?
a: Use the following broadcast intents:
START: berserker.android.apps.ftpdroid.command.START
STOP: berserker.android.apps.ftpdroid.command.STOP

Installed the server, launched it says "ready" with ip address, but inserting this address in any ftp client it isn't reachable. It's limited to wifi? i'm in 3G.

Thanks you berserker for the post, I've already bought the paid version.
A question: I like like the possibility to start at boot, always run in the background and activate itself only when on wi-fi (at work and at home).
But I keep getting notifications (in the notification bar and toasts) which kind of annoy me.
Could you add a "silent mode", always run in the background without notification (if I have a problem with the app I could open the interface and see whats going on, if tis active or not)?
Or could you at least add an option to hide it from the notification bar? I know that the android system could stop it automatically if it doesn't reside in the notification bar but :
- I like to have only notifications in that bar, the more apps use that space the less useful it becomes
- on latest devices we have at least 512MB RAM so apps closed by the garbage collector is not a real issue (I run WidgetLocker without the notification and it was "garbaged" only 3-4 times in 6 months)
Thanks again for the app, even with the small issue above is still the best Android ftp server (and I say this after testing almost all of them)

Btw I can easily add it for the next release since you know what you are doing (maybe with an alert for other users).
Thanks for your suggestions!
Looks good but i was just wondering on the speed.
Is there a automatic cap for speed or can one be set manually.
If i wanted too say move a 100mb file from one phone too another or too pc could i set the speed level so it does not disrupt any other services i have running on wifi.
I would like too be able too lower speed so it just does the job in the background.
Iv not tried this or downloaded it yet,but do intend too but was just wondering about the speed thing.
I see from the small list of thing you wrote that they are pretty much just the same as what can be done with bluetooth.Could you tell me the advantage of using this over normal bluetooth.
I don't have bluetooth on any laptop/pc in my house so thats one gain id say,any others ?
Thanks looking like a great app at the moment.

Hi, most of the times the speed must me as high as possible and you probably known that Bluetooth is slow compared to WiFI (it's an advantage even if you don't need it ). Other advantages are: public access, users management, folders restriction and all the FTP stuffs in general (moreover you already wrote that not all devices are equipped with bluetooth).
I take a look in the Pure-FTPd documentation (please remember that this is a native port of the same application that runs on most FTP servers, so the "feature" must be supported by Pure-FTPd itself) and it seems that bandwith limit is supported (more info here at "BANDWIDTH THROTTLING" chapter). I'll have a look on it for the next release

Thanks for reply.
yeah bluetooth is pretty slow but it is also consistent for me.
For me since i have around 3-5 devices connected too my wifi at any one time(not including phones) i find attaching other devices that the norm would be for the device too try obtain the more bandwidth.
Basically all device are trying too get the most bandwidth at one time so if i could restrict what i would see as less important devices(phones) too a limited speed then there would be less strain on the network for other users laptop/pc etc.
Just my thoughts by the way and not by any means a criticism of the app.
thanks again for reply good luck with this i will be testing it today at some time so if i have any feedback ill let you know.Thanks for the link also ill give it a read.
I will buy if you can change the icon to match the stock nexus theme. Eg, a flat grey outline no color something that matches like the "alarm" icon in the status bar.

I have a small suggestion. What do you think about putting the start/stop button on the app home screen for faster access (there's plenty of space there)? Love the auto start feature btw.

Hi, there is already a "button" in app home screen: click on the top left icon (it will toggle the log panel ).
What about adding to that button a popup menu (with a start/stop item)?

I recently released Browsix. If you install my app, you can do the following from another PC in your local network:
Download, upload, delete, rename,... all your files using the file manager (PC <=> Phone)
View your photos.
Listen to your music.
Watch your videos
Send and receive SMS messages
All you need is a regular browser on a PC in the same local network as your phone. Just point your PC's browser to www.browsix.com and you will be redirected to your phone (without configuring Bluetooth, USB cables,...). Sounds great?!
You can find Browsix in the Android market.

Thought the same
And still waiting for more crazy users than me to try it if it is good or not.
Add me to that waiting list as well.
Tried the site and no sign of malicious activity.
EDIT - didn't realize WiFi is required. Works great!
Hi Guys,
I really appreciate your interest. Now it's up to me to convince you that we are not into spam I just thought it would be great if you could point your browser to a web page and then be redirected to your phone. That's why I developed this tool, and it took quite some time actually. Some more explanation: What we actually do is show a link on the browsix.com home page when the Browsix application is installed, you will notice that this is a local IP address (you have to be connected via Wifi). So if you click the link, you will be redirected to your phone, which will serve all the requests. The tool you install on your android phone is actually a lightweight webserver.
@Phateless: Did you try the top links on the home page. For instance, if you click the Photos link, you should see a photo slideshow. Did that not work for you? What browser are you using? Of course you will not see the photos on your phone You will have to install the application for that.
Just to make things clear: None of your data (photos, music, files, etc..) is stored on our server. We only store you local IP address.
We are still in early development so I really appreciate all your suggestions, bug reports, etc. And believe me, I'm not a spammer. Is there any another way for me to prove this?
Thanks,
Stijn

- Upload multiple files at the same time (also included in the free version)
- Intelligent prefetching for faster load times
- Unlimited upload size
- Rename/delete files
- Better error handling
For the upcoming version I have in mind:
- Password protection
What other features would you guys like to see?
Thanks,
Stijn

We go a few steps further. We have separate pages for photos, music and video where you can view your media. On top of that we provide a file manager that you can use to copy/manage files between a PC and your phone, in both ways .
I also have an exciting new feature to announce!!
- The ability to send and receive SMS text messages in your browser.
I use it to respond to my text messages when my phone is on my desk and my browser is opened anyway.
This feature is still in BETA, so I hope I will get tons of feedback to further improve it.
See you later!
What's the difference between the lite and paid versions? Or is it a donate?
EDIT: Ah, nevermind. Found it on your website.
Paid version
The paid version has: Fullscreen support, Ads-free local pages, Extra file manager features and much more to come...

Hi seboj,
Were you connected via WiFi? Your computer should be in the same local network as your phone (basically behind the same router).
It's started randomly force closing on me for the last few days, when it wasn't even open that I knew of.
Any ideas?

I think both your problems have something to do with the new SMS feature (are you both using android 2.2 ?).
A bit technical: I implemented a BroadcastReceiver for the SMS messages. This means that when you receive an SMS, the receiver upgrades a counter and stores some properties of the SMS so Browsix can use them. I will add some more error checking and publish a new version to the market. (EDIT The broadcastreceiver is now only registered when browsix is enabled)
If you still have the same problem with the new version, can someone check the output of LogCat? That would be a great help.
Thanks for your patience,
Stijn
EDIT: A new version is published to the market. Please let me know if it works for you.

Can you give me a basic on logcat? I've heard the term and I'm fairly comfortable with adb, just haven't used logcat yet.
You can use
Code:
adb logcat
to print out log messages. More information can be found at http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html#logcat
I think we can find the problem if you use the following (this will print error messages, you will have to enable usb debugging on your phone):
Code:
adb logcat *:E

Hello Peoples of XDA Developers! Today I'll be sharing an APP that is definitely my most favorite one on Android...It is called Mango and it is an HD Manga Reader for on the go!
Mango provides many features such as My Library which allows a user to download specific chapters from any manga and basically save it on your phone for Offline Reading. It also has a Favorite section that allows a user to bookmark his/her favorite series and then get the latest updates just for the chosen ones. Another great part about this APP is the number of sources it provides such as Mangareader.net, Mangastream.com, Mangafox.com, Mangashare.com, MangAble.com and lastly AnimeA.com.
Those sources basically give you the most available series possible for a Manga App.
Here is the Dev's Page:
http://mango.leetsoft.net/
Here is the Market Version. It is called PocketManga:

EDIT: PoketManga has been removed from the Android Market...Just like Mango's fate HOWEVER, Victor will still keep the updated versions on his website, so make sure to check it out!

Hello Peoples! The Dev of the Mango Manga HD app is making a request for ALL users to switch to Mango v1.4. Only 26% have done so, so far. The reason being is that firstly...1.4 is BETTER, secondly the Dev has acquired a new server which will host the Manga queries BUT v1.3 runs on the previous server. So instead of paying for 2 running servers, he recommends EVERYONE to download the latest version and then you will be able to enjoy the most out of the app!
I'm from Germany, couldn't the developer add a German manga source? like meinmanga. de

Mango 1.4.140 (Renji) is now available. This version adds auto-download new chapters feature, data folder override, return of the zoom vibration, a few advanced options, changes to Bankai validation (separate app no longer required), tutorial skip option, a few Notifications fixes, Inverted Color Mode crash fix, and speed improvements in the Library Browser. Download it from:
http://mango.leetsoft.net/apk/140/Mango.apk
Nice to see this is still supported, even though it is off the market.
NEWS:
Quick Announcement guys! SInce Victor (The Dev) has placed Mango on the Market and Google removed it twice for no specific reason, he will be changing the name and try to post it on the Market again.
By a Poll, the new name is gonna PocketManga and the App icon will have "L" from Death Note.
Mango and PocketManga will be updated at the same time and gradually we will switch to the new name PocketManga only if Google does not remove it...
Anyways, hope everything goes well and then many more people will be able to enjoy this awesome app
Just got the new link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ls.manga#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmxzLm1hbmdhIl0.
Enjoy!

Tinfoil hat here, I can ensure you this app is safe.
The dev has explained why he needs those permission in the official Mango profile on Facebook some months ago. It's just anonymous statistics that he uses for debug reasons. Anyway, you can opt-out with just a click if you don't feel sure.

Mango developer here, felt I should chime in.
Fair warning, this is a huge post, but I'll explain exactly what these permissions are used for, and how they are used.
The Read System Log permission is used for debugging and troubleshooting purposes. As you use the app, Mango writes general diagnostic information about its performance to the Android system log. Later on, if the user goes to Send Feedback and selects "I'm having an issue", Mango will include diagnostic information from the log along with the user's message. I've found this to be invaluable when the user emails me stating "it doesnt work fix plz" and the diagnostic log shows that their SD card is full and Mango can't write anything to it. Most importantly, when the app force closes, a stack trace is written to the log pinpointing the exact line of code causing the FC.
A few things to note about the log data:
-It only ever leaves your phone when you use the Send Feedback function, compose a message, and send that message via your Email app (the diagnostic data is appended to the end of the email, you can view it before sending, or delete it if you don't wish for it to be sent)
-You can view the data at any time by going to Settings and Help >> Advanced Options >> Debug Log
-Only data that Mango has written to the log itself is ever read from the log. Though the system log is shared by all apps and the OS itself, Mango filters the log to only read data with the "MANGO" tag.
I am planning on implementing a custom logger soon so that Mango can read and write log data in it's own isolated log file, allowing me to remove the permission requirement.
Regarding the Read Phone State and Identity permission, this one is used to get the device UUID. The permission also allows the requesting app to view the phone number of an incoming call, which is why the header is "Phone Calls" in the Android permission warning screen. Mango has no reason to see or use that data, so it does not ever use the functionality, but it's a package deal included with the ability to use the getDeviceId API.
Unfortunately this one is required by the MobClix SDK used to display ads and is used by Mango to differentiate one device from another. Since there are no usernames/user accounts, but Mango uses an external server to do lots of the app's work, the server needs to be able to tell one device from another, and since IP addresses are often shared between many phones on a carrier, the server uses the device UUID instead.
It is important to note that the Mango Service does not associate your UUID with any reading history or favorites... that's kept on your device and never touches the server (though in the future, I might add an optional cloud sync feature). The only data associated with your UUID in the server's database are your Android version number, your phone's model number, your Mango version number, whether or not you've purchased the ad-free version, and the total number of times you've started the app. This lets me generate some basic stats about the app's usage, which you can view here:
http://mangoservice.leetsoft.net/stats.png
The UUID (rather, a hash of it, not the ID itself) is also used by the Flurry Analytics component which provides me with some more detailed (but still aggregated and anonymized) stats regarding app usage, such as how many users per week I see, what paths users most frequently take throughout the app, the number of favorites users have, and the Preferences they have enabled. For example, it lets me see that about 46% of Mango users have more than 20 favorites, about 14% of users check the "Left-to-Right Reading" option, and that only 8% of Mango users use the filtering option in the Favorites menu (clearly, it's something I need to promote more visibly in the next version, because it's an awesome feature and almost nobody is using it... :S ). I can't tell which options any individual user is using, since all of the data is aggregated and anonymized.
The user must opt-in to analytics... it is disabled by default and is only turned on if the user selects "Yes" to the "Enable Analytics?" option that appears when you first start the app. The user can also change this setting at any time from the Preferences menu.
/whew, I think that about covers it. Obviously there's no way for me to prove that what I've said above is true and it's completely up to you to believe me or not. But I write and maintain Mango as a hobby (though, thanks to the incredible response it's received, it's a hobby that's paying for my tuition!) and I really don't have any nefarious plot to use your data.
If you have any more questions, let me know. I don't check this thread super-frequently, but if you email me ([email protected]) I'll probably get back to you within 24 hours.
Also, thanks iasookia for making this thread!

The actual download speed simply depends on the network connection. I have been using Mango, and now PocketManga, since I got my Android Phone and haven't had any lags or slow downloads per se.
When I used my carrier's data, it would take about 3-4 min to download a chapter to the Library BUT at home, with WiFi, I get a chapter in like 40 seconds.
There is an issue however, if there are too many people on the same time, the server can't support the queries and then the downloads are slow...
I just published an early version of an app that allows you to browse and manage the contents on your device using just a webbrowser, the only requirement is that your device is connected to the same network as the computer or tablet you use to browse with.
The Video and Image galleries shows thumbnails, and if you have the correct plugins installed in your browser you can stream audio and video without downloading.
Here's a video clip featuring the web interface:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WzFWsIsDY4
And here are two screenshots of the server app and the web based user interface
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Download from Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.droidstop.droidxplore
If you decide to try it, please note that when you start the server it might take a while before the server is active, you will notice when notification icon "xp" is shown.
This is an early version, and if feedback shows it's worth it, I will implement ability to transfer files TO the device within a week.
I have only been able to test the app on an HTC Sensation with ICS, and an emulator running 2.2 so I can't guarantee it will work for everyone yet, just remember to send bug reports to me so I can fix all issues, if there are any.
Current features
- Browse contents
- View thumbnail galleries
- Download and Upload files from and to your device.
- Create folders, rename files and folders and delete stuff.
I would really appreciate feedback on this.
Thanks for reading.
Suggested plugins for your browser to get streaming from your device working:
Quicktime, http://www.apple.com/quicktime/?
VLC Media Player, http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html
Pretty decent and fast, but quite a bit of wasted space. Maybe you also also direct us to some of the plugins to enable video/audio playback in browser.
Not too bad actually. Streaming video seems to work well in Chrome. I'm excited to try this at home on my Google TV. That's the real test, in my opinion. Excited for some more features too.
Nice app.
Only Mp3 is being streamed. Even Mp4 starts downloading.
Thank you for all the nice feedback guys, and what a great honor to be featured on the first page
I've already implemented the below mentioned features, but need to test them through some more before publishing on Play.
1) Renaming files and folder
2) Transfering files to the device, either one file at the time or you can transfer a zip and have it automatically extracted on arrival to the device.
3) Deleting files and folders
There's also a few minor changes, and bug fixes. All (apart from a few minor non-critical) strings are in the strings.xml, so if anyone feels up to translate to another language, drop me a note and I'll send you the xml needed.
The issue with non streaming is probably a mime type misconfiguration on my part, so I'll have a look at it for a coming release.
I know there's a lot of empty space when using the web interface on a larger screen, but I'm working more and more towards having the same interface fully functional for both stationary and smaller devices, there's probably a few glitches left for me to fix in that area though...
p.s. I'll have a look around for decent plugins for streaming to web browsers, if you know of any good ones, feel free to post them here and I'll edit my first post to include links.
Cheers guys, The update will be available later tonight or by tomorrow.
smooth and fast. works better than some of the others out there. looking forward to the update :good:
Feature request.
I can't close the app, it restart again and again.
downloading it now. I can't wait to give it a go tonight

Quicktime is one. VLC works sometimes.
This sounds really great but I am kind of afraid of using it in my company network.
I really would like to run it 24/7 in my private network to have access all the time to the content, but as soon as I arrive at work my mobile connects to the company wifi and would share it there. Is there any kind of password protection or anything similar?
Yeah of course I could disabled it manually, but I am lazy and I bet I will forget it sometimes.. and I guess tasker is no option for this, is it?
Or do I get it wrong that this 'service' is also working when the mobile is in deep sleep?!
Sorry for not publishing an update yet, I will have to postpone it one more day.
I just gave the thumbnail galleries a really great performance boost, and I want to make sure it's stable enough before
releasing it..

Yeah, in the currently released version there's a setting for username and password authentication, and yes, once the server is activated it will run until it's manually closed, even if you restart the device. Next up for implementation is also a way to restrict which networks the server is allowed to run on.
Thank you all for testing and posting feedback so far.
I'll get back to work on the update and report back once it's complete.
Cheers
Version 1.02
So I just published version 1.02, but it might take a few hours before the update has propagated through all the google servers as usual.
Here's the latest additions:
Version 1.02
- Transfer files to your device, (You can also upload a zip and have it extracted once it has finished uploading)
- Rename files and folders
- Delete files and folders
- Create new folders
- Performance boost in the gallery views
So it's more and more starting to look like a file manager.
ToDo
- Multiple file uploads
- Restrict app from running on certain networks, and have it automatically start on others
- A *bonus feature* named QuickShare for those who purchased the ad-free version..
(I'm not much for limiting functionality, I'd rather like to add a few bonuses and helpful features for those who help me in return)
Please, report bugs and feature requests and post your feedback, and thanks again for your time.
Came in right when an update is going, about to try this out thanks

@drraptor, thanks, I've heard about "force close" but not of "refuse close", I'll have a look at it.
@deja_vu: Yeah, but use the ctrl key for multi selection. Shift key will be implemented in a couple of weeks, once I've straightened out a few other issues, dealing with navigation, but thanks for taking the time to post. I appreciate it.
Thanks for all the helpfull feedback so far! Later, I'd better go and care for the critters, cheers!

WebSharing is an app that lets you view/transfer files and media between your Android device and a computer using a Web browser over a Wi-Fi network. The 1.x version line has been out for an age (since '09), this thread is about 2.0 and future development.
The 2.0 beta is currently available, I'd greatly appreciate any help testing it. See next post for info on obtaining it via Google Play Store beta channel and/or direct download.
The most significant improvements in 2.0 (vs 1.x) are:
Drag-and-drop file/folder uploading (included in the free version, without any limitations).
Holo UI in the Android app, and in the web browser.
Flash is no longer required for advanced features (they're all implemented in HTML5 with Flash fallback).
Still no ads.
To start using WebSharing, make sure you're connected to Wi-Fi, then open the app and tap the "Start" button. You'll see a screen like the one below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Follow the directions on the screen, pointing your computer's Web browser at the address shown. You'll then see a WebSharing welcome screen that looks like this:
Enter the random generated password and click "Continue". (You can set a permanent custom password in the settings, if you prefer.)
Once you're logged in, you can browse around the filesystem. Double-click to open or download items. Single click to select them. Ctrl+Click to select multiple items. Use the pulldown menu in the upper left corner perform file operations, or just right-click on files.
WebSharing 2 has an all-new HTML5-based file upload system:
Files can be uploaded by dragging them into the browser window.
You can drag multiple files in at once.
If you use Google Chrome, you can upload entire folder hierarchies by dragging them into the browser.
You can drag in more files while files are uploading, they'll be added to the queue.
You can navigate to other folders while files are uploading, and then drag files into those locations. They'll be added to the queue as well.
You can also use the "File" menu to upload files if you'd prefer not to use drag-and-drop.
Older browsers can still use legacy file upload controls.
You can click anywhere in the upload progress area to see a detailed view of upload progress.
In 2.0, the multiple file upload system is now a free feature (in 1.x, only the paid version allowed multiple file upload via a Flash-based control).
All of this is provided in the free version, without any limitations.
When files are dragged in (or uploaded using the File menu), the progress bar will appear at the bottom of the screen:
All the features shown up to this point are completely free. Like FX File Explorer and WebSharing 1.x, the paid version of WebSharing adds media support, i.e., direct access to music, photos, and videos.
In the full version, you can click the music tab to browse/play music. Double-click on a track to start streaming music from the phone to the web browser. You can listen to streamed music while performing other tasks.
You can browse music by track, artist, album, or playlist. The screenshot below shows the by-album view. Music can be directly uploaded by dragging files into the music view. Files uploaded here will be placed in a folder that you configure in the app's settings (the default is the "Music" folder on your device's primary storage/SD Card).
Clicking the photos tab allows you to browse all images stored on the device. The new "Thumbnail Size" slider can be used to zoom in/out.
WebSharing uses my usual free/paid model:
* Free version is free, paid version is cheaper than dirt.
* No ads in either version.
* Free version is not a watered down trial with a bunch of limitations. It's very usable and many users will only need it.
* The paid version adds more stuff.
* Neither version phones home, collects personal information, or does any other "doubleplusungood" things.
Getting WebSharing 2.0 BETA
2.0 beta can be downloaded by joining this Google+ community:

WebSharing 2 is looking awesome.
Tod, I installed the Lite version which works fine with my phone (N4). But I can't get a Wi-Fi connection with my tablet (N10). Restarted my router, toggled Wi-Fi, but still unable. Diagnostics shows it's unable to ping, yet it's able to make an internet connection. Both devices are running 4.3 AOKP. What should I check?

In the diagnostics, does it show a "wlan0" item (or similar) with a valid IP address?
And WiFi is the only means this thing could get to the internet, correct?

Yes, IP is valid. Right, the N10 is Wi-Fi only. I did try using my N4 as a hotspot and got the same results, so I guess that takes my router out of the equation. Here are a couple of screenshots of the diagnostics window:

One more question that I forgot to ask...is it accessible if you just enter the address anyway, or is it just the diagnostics that are failing?
I have seen a lot of issues with the ping command on custom ROMs on the N10. I forget if you were one of the reporters of this, but with FX, the feature where it checks if network hosts are available was causing N10s with certain ROMs to spontaneously reboot. The exact same code ping library is being used in FX and WebSharing (which in turn just calls /system/bin/ping).

Aha, it is accessible on my PC (but I don't have the password to enter).
Yes, I remember that ping issue with FX (even remember which ROM it was). But both my N4 and N10 are currently on the same ROM (4.3 AOKP official). Are different libraries used anyway? If you like, I could try another ROM and see if that makes a difference.
Edit: Curiously got the best of me, . I flashed a different ROM (Purity 4.3, which is JWR based, as opposed to AOKP which is JSL), and, sure enough, no problem with ping. So I guess it is specific to certain manta ROMs. Is it possible to have similar settings as in FX to disable the ping command, or is that essential to the app's function?

The ping bug I've seen was pretty specific to the Nexus 10 (but might have seen one other device do it too). I still find the general ping problem the oddest bugs I've seen. I have at least three reports of it from N10 users on three different ROMs.. I want to say AOKP, CM10.1, and maybe Paranoid Android as well. I think some have fixed it, but I have no idea what the underlying problem was.
You can disable the connectivity monitor altogether, go into Settings->Network Settings and then uncheck "Connectivity Monitor". That might completely fix this problem.
I think I'm going to disable this feature by default in the next version. It was initially implemented to work around issues with certain devices that would shut WiFi off or otherwise put it into a lower power mode that would often cause it to drop connectivity. Devices would enter this mode when the screen was turned off. The Nexus One was particularly offensive in this case. There's now a far better workaround in WebSharing (and FX) for this issue, i.e., using a "high performance" WiFi lock. This API flag to use the "high performance" lock was documented in Android 2.3 or 3.0, but was undocumented in 2.1, 2.2., and possibly 2.3 (though it's existed since 2.1 I believe). On these devices, a "normal" WiFi Lock wasn't adequate, so WebSharing would alert the user if it saw connectivity drop out, and more importantly, briefly turn the screen on and off. The connectivity monitor itself was left in as it still can be a useful feature.
Works fine with my phone (LT26i, CM10)!

It was Mr. Robinson's Buttered AOKP 4.2.2 that had the problem. This is how you explained it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40751452
I passed along the info to them and it was fixed in a subsequent release, but re-emerged later, so I stopped using that ROM. I've seen it once in 4.3, but I forget which ROM.
Disabling connectivity monitor in Settings does fix things. The curious thing, though, is that it is enabled in FX and there are no problems. Aren't both apps using the same mechanism to ping?

Ping command does appear to be the same between FX and WebSharing. It could also be that everything's working fine and the router just isn't set up to respond to pings.
working on my phone ... locally branded chinese phone with MTK6577 chipset, ICS rom ... :good:
very cool, good work man!
Awesome app :good:
Also Webdav works good.
There's a translation error in the advanced settings (paid beta version):

Just purchased the full version.
Have used it for 5 Minutes and already loving it.

They are similar, both good.
This one is simple, doesn't require account, has webdav support (so you can add the phone as a web folder in Windows).
I usually use ES to share files between PC and phone, but a desktop browser interface with integrated viewer/player is a good alternative.

This is the second time you said "webdev", when what I think you mean is "webdav". Maybe you have some auto correct on, but if not I just thought it would help those that may not know what it is.

BackPackTrack II is an open source utility application meant to continuously record your location, without draining your battery and without requiring an internet connection.
The GPS will be switched on every 3 minutes for a maximum of 60 seconds (both configurable) to acquire a location, but only if you are moving. If there is not at least one satellite visible after 30 seconds (configurable), the GPS will be turned off. When the GPS cannot get a fix, a network location will be used as backup.
BackPackTrack II will also passively use locations requested by other applications, for example mapping applications. Passive locations will be recorded if the bearing changes by more than 30 degrees or if the altitude changes by more than 20 meter (both configurable).
Locations will be filtered based on distance from your last location and based on location accuracy. The default is to filter locations within 100 meter of the last location and locations with an accuracy of worse than 100 meter.
The altitude of GPS locations will be corrected using the EGM96 model, which can make a significant difference in some areas.
From the status bar notification you can make an extra trackpoint or a new waypoint. Waypoints will be automatically reverse geocoded if there is an internet connection, otherwise this can be done later using the waypoint editor.
You can export your location history as a GPX or KML file for visualization in another application. You could use OsmAnd or Google Earth for this purpose.
You can upload your location history to a WordPress weblog using a small WordPress plugin. You could use the Google Maps GPX Viewer plugin for visualization.
If you want to see the status of the GPS, you could use the application GPS Status & Toolbox.
As a bonus BackPackTrack includes:
an activity history, so you can see when you were doing what
a step counter which doesn't count false steps, because activity recognition will be used to count steps only while you are walking (your device needs to have a hardware step counter for this to work)
tabular and graphical actual and historical weather information, including weather notification and rain warning
hourly and daily weather forecasting for the last or a selected location
search for Wikipedia articles around waypoints
search for geonames around waypoints
fetch elevation data from Google
BackPackTrack II is a complete rewrite of BackPackTrack, the first Android application I wrote in 2011.
You can download the latest version of the application here.
You can find more information, including frequently asked questions, on GitHub.
Works on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and later.
Questions and remarks are very welcome.
If you like BackPackTrack II, you can let me know through a small PayPal donation.

BackPackTrack II will also register locations acquired by FineGeotag.
Looks interesting
Will you release this on F-Droid?
I tried GPS Logger before, but I found it too complicated to use and very non-transparent (I wouldn't have an idea when it would record data and when not).

You will see this application is very easy to use. There is no question if or when it records locations: always, when moving. You can turn off tracking with a check box. If you don't have Play services installed, the application will not crash, but will acquire locations when you are still (not moving) as well.
Depending on the interest, I will publish this application in the Play store and maybe on F-Droid after testing. For now releases will be available on GitHub only.
Hmmm, this may be exactly what i needed
BUT i have a question:

..w..why's that??
I do not understand...no gapps=continous tracking?
Is there any way to avoid this?

No, there isn't a way, since activity recognition (what you are doing) is being used. As far as I know there is no open source library to do something similar

You could reduce the frequency of acquiring locations (default 3 minutes) and the maximum wait time (default 60 second) for a location to keep battery usage acceptable without activity recognition.

Thank you for answers and ideas, good luck and stay safe (on track, that is).
upd: i wonder - so, what exactly is needed to have it working as it should - only some libs that i can add manually, or rather whole subsystem with services(=gapps)?
I am curious how it is working, generally.

I don't know which components are needed to make it work, but this is what is needed for activity recognition:
https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/location/ActivityRecognition
My best guess is you need all of the Play services for this, because of dependencies.

Hm, f google then.
Allright, Sir, thanks for your time...i'll stay with locus gps track saving then....unfortunately - it is continous.
I appreciate your responses, you are good man
btw - did you know? Even calendar/scheduler is not working if you have no google account and gapps...even with external freeware, hmmm..android became monopolly game...everything works on google monopol.
Windows mobile was last logical mobile system...if you ask me. Now it's dead...

I am the author of XPrivacy as well, so I am quite aware of this. Unfortunately there is no open source alternative to recognize user activity, else I had used it. The best I can do, which I already did, is not making a hard dependency. What also needs to be said: Google's activity recognition works pretty well, like most of their stuff, which maybe explains why they can do what they are doing.

Yeah 9/11 works well...innocents activities works well....****ing calendar works not without gapps..man. Now i know that even gps cannot work without gapps...dammit.
hey, i am talking about overall misery and shady google politics then.....ok?
I have just made available beta version 0.2
Download:
https://github.com/M66B/BackPackTrackII/releases/tag/0.2
Besides small improvements and minor bug fixes, this version will use passive location updates when the bearing changes by more than 30 degrees or the altitude changes more than 20 meters (both configurable). This means that if you have other software running which turns on the GPS, like mapping software, BackPackTrack II will take a free ride on the location updates.
Please let me hear what you think of BackPackTrack II, also if you don't have questions or remarks, so I can get an idea about how useful it is to publish future updates.
I have just made available beta version 0.3, which will be available in the Play store too after Google has approved the application.
I have just released beta version 0.11 to the Play store.
This version fixes some small bugs, improves some minor things and adds a few new features, like optionally filtering some activity types.
It can take a few hours before Google makes this version available.
I have just released beta version 0.14 to the Play store.
This version adds registering/viewing recognized activities and a new flat notification icon.
It can take a few hours before Google makes this version available.
Just installed. Everything works properly (Maybe). 3 comments:
1. There is no option to exit the app. Or am I missing something?
2. Shouldn't the notification also show the last location instead of "unknown"? See attached screenshot.
3. (OT) The Github repo has option to create issues.

Thanks for your feedback!
The application is meant to run continuously, so there is no exit/quit option. The closest is to disabled tracking using the appropriate check box.
"Unknown" refers to your current activity (still, on foot, in vehicle, etc), not your current location (this will not work without Play services).
The GitHub issues are deliberately disabled, so I have to look for issues here only. I don't expect a high volume of issues, like with XPrivacy.
2 more things:
1. The babkpack man looks cool. He should also become the app icon in my opinion.
2. It would be a nice feature to be able to clear the DB after a gpx export.
