How to browse files on phone via win 7 explorer.
I use wifi router which has my computer connect via lan cable (wired connection) & other computer/laptop & phone connected via wifi.
From the phone using es file explorer I can surf the lan on windows 7 computer but I cant surf the files on phone from win 7 explorer, it does not even show in devices connected (using usb connection it shows) so I assume that something else needs to be switched on or connected, can someone tell me what do I need to do so I can browse phone files via windows explorer?
if you have an sd card in the phone and the drivers installed, you can browse the files on the sd card via usb connection. if you're trying to browse ROOT files (which you forgot to mention), the only way to see root folder files on your computer is to install android commander and follow the instructions. google it, and good luck.
Do you want to browse your phone files through wifi? There are multiple ways:
1) connect to your phone through samba. Install Samba Filesharing and you'll see the phone in your network.
2) connect to your phone through ftp. Install one of the many app in the market, like this or a file manager (many of them allow you to share folders through ftp or even http) and in windows explorer simply type the address shown in the app (ftp://192.XXXXXXX)
3) use airdroid (it will allow you to do also other stuff, like sending sms)
Wao!
I am glad I asked & I am surprised by airdroid, wonderful interface it has loving it now.

Both are paid apps whereas airdroid is free & the interface airdroid offers is far better than anything I have seen. With airdroid I can do much more than just file transfer like sending sms.

I suggest you use USB Mass Storage If you want to view files on your sd card. If you want to view rooted files on your phone I suggest using android commander.
Try to get MY PHONE EXPLORER it's free can save SMS, contacts, restore, install apps, backup, view folders, edit them and many things for FREE!
and yeah I've used all the above said apps, and more but nothing beats my phone explorer, IMHO

I have been using myphoneexplorer last 6 years & yes its the best what it does but what actually I was looking for was to use windows explorer to surf the files but have not succeeded in doing that.
Using these software both airdroid & myphoneexplorer File transfer is slow 1.6-1.8Mbps so 1gb file takes almost 10 mins time I thought it could be faster if I use windows explorer but seems its wifi limitation.
I use 54Mbps B/G/N wifi router & have class 6 SD card, when I use usb connection the file download is much faster within 2-3 mins for 1gb data.
Transfer files wirelessly is always slower.
Note that the speed you see when you download a file through airdroid (or anything else) is usually expressed in MBps and not Mbps, they are different things. Your router support a max speed of 56Mbps which is equal to 7MB/s. That said, 2MB/s is not that bad, you also have to consider that it's hard to achieve the max speed, you need to be near the router.
For huge USB is the best.
(For file transfers I think that the others two method are better, airdroid is not so confortable.)
Ok I will try the two methods & see if the speed can be faster, if no speed gain then I stick to myphoneexplorer only as it has everything minus the user interface of airdroid.
BTW I have the router right beside me 3 feet away.
Hi forum
HTC HD2 user here. Windows 6.5
Just got a Nokia Lumia 710
I am finding windows 7 very very very difficult.
First off I had to create a windows live ID etc etc install zune ...
Now iPHONE and WINDOWS MOBILE 7 SUCK ...
Problem:
I bought a free app.. Talking tiger. via zune
It didnt copy properly into my phone ..
I tried to install from zune once again .... and it says already purchased ....
Scenario:
My Mobile is connected to the computer and I am sharing internet connection of my computer onto the phone. Just to put it in a nutshell, I have
NO SIM CARD INSTALLED sharing internet from my PC via data cable.
Tried - 1
Opened www.windowsphone.com on my PC selected the application and clicked reinstall
Gives two options
1. Send message onto my phone - India is not listed
2. Download later instructions via email - Till now I haven't received any email on the account that I registered as windows live
Tried - 2
On my mobile device
Opened marketplace --- shows an UGLY blinking dots with a connected message and synchronization complete message.
I am not able to open market place - I Guess its because I am connected to PC.
Again I do not have Wi Fi or SIm card in my mobile
Any help ?
[UPDATE]
I got an email
----------------------------

If I paste this in my browser it takes me to google search result
If I paste this link into run, it takes me to zune place but no install option there
If i get more information I will post it
Have you fully synced phone to Zune or have you just installed Zune. It shouldn't be a guest. It should have recognized this the first time you connected the phone. Its happen to me on occasion I'd have to click the button in Zune change relationship.
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Partially solved
Hi
Thanks for the reply. I will check zune settings ... can you tell me where the change relationships might be ?
I could install apps after I brought the phone to my office.
There is Wi Fi network there, and the IT Department allowed me to connect for half an hour ...
But : My question remains ...... When I connect the phone to a PC I am not able to access market place apps , it says Connected and then synch in progress and then Synch Complete.
Some more
I am not able to access my camera as well. Says Connected.
Any thoughts ?
While the phone is connected to Zune, the OS locks the media and app databases on the phone for the PC's use. This means no using the media player, camera, or Marketplace on the phone while connected to Zune on the PC. Instead, though, you can use Marketplace on PC to install apps to the phone.
I am looking for an app that will let me use my Lumia to connect to the shared folders on my home PC while connected to my home network via WiFi. I want to be able to connect as my PC user account, browse to a UNC path (e.g. "\\DESKTOP-PC\Pictures"), and download/transfer files from the PC to my phone... all without the need for any server software or additional setup on the PC.
I see the "ShareFolder" app in the marketplace (for $2.50), but there is no trial, and few reviews. Does anyone know if that app will suit my needs (one review makes me believe it won't, but the description indicates it will)? Or can anyone recommend a solution?
Thanks very much for reading!
Depends on how much space you need to have for "sharing" and what you need to do. The ShareFolder app can let you look at pictures, but you cant open any other file types on your phone. Not very useful.
I highly recommend using SkyDrive, as now they have a Desktop Folder, just like Dropbox, and then your computer doesn't even need to be on. But space is not huge....
The SkyDrive app is free but there are other apps for SkyDrive
Or, if you don't want to bother with a SkyDrive folder on your desktop, you can check out Allway Sync - it runs off your computer and automatically syncs your specified folders just about anywhere, including SkyDrive. I have the Pro Version and LOVE it!
Otherwise, you have to pay for a "big" cloud space or run a server off your puter, as far as I know.

Let me explain all the important features of MoboPlay and how you can use them for your Android device.
How to Backup and Restore Data of Your Android Phone:
Step 1: After opening this PC suite, click the “ToolBox” tab to browse various options including backup and restore.
Step 2: Click the “Backup” option in the toolbox to select items or data of your Android phone which you want to backup. It allows you to backup contacts, messages, call logs, images, apps, and music. You can also set the destination folder where you want the backup to be stored.
Step 3: Once you’re done selecting items and assigning the destination folder, simply click the “Quick Backup” button to start the backup. It will automatically create a backup file with all the items you’ve selected in the destination folder.
Step 4: To restore your data from any backup file, select the “Restore” option in the toolbox. A popup will appear with all the backup files and item types. You can check and uncheck any of the item types from the list. When you’re done with selecting a backup file and associated items, hit the “Restore” button, that’s all.
How to Take Screenshots of Android Phone from PC:

Simply click the “Screenshot” option and you will be able to capture and save a screenshot of the device screen.
Step 3: If you want to take better screenshots, then I suggest you use the fullscreen feature. Go to the “ToolBox” tab and select “Fullscreen” option. A fullscreen window will appear along with the “Screenshot” button at the bottom. Click the button to take screenshots of your Android phone as shown below.
How to Transfer Media from Android to PC and PC to Android:
Step 1: Moboplay also allows you to transfer media like photos, music, and videos from Android to PC and PC to Android. Go to the “Device” tab and you will see a “Media” section on the left with folders like Camera Images, Albums, Wallpapers, Music, and Videos.
Step 2: Browse any of the folders to transfer media from your Android phone to PC. When you select a media file, you will see an “Export” button at the top. Click the button to select the destination folder and transfer file.
Step 3: If you want to transfer files from PC to any of the folders in the “Media” section, then click the “Upload” button adjacent to the “Export” button. After that, you can simply browse your PC and select the files which you want to transfer to your Android phone.
How to Manage Contacts and Messages of Android from PC:
Step 1: Click the “Device” tab and you will be able to see two folders named Contacts and Messages below the “Media” section.
Step 2: Click the “Contacts” folder to manage all your Android contacts. You can add new contacts, import and export contacts as VCF files, delete contacts, edit contact information, and send SMS directly from your PC to any of the contacts.
Step 3: If you want to manage all your Android messages, then select the “Messages” folder. All your messages will be visible on the screen, where you can delete and view messages. You can also start a conversation with any of the message senders right on your PC.
How to Clean Junk Files on Android:
Step 1: The last useful and important feature of MoboPlay is the “Space Cleaner”. Go to the “ToolBox” tab and select the option “Space Cleaner”. As soon as you do that, a popup window will appear with two tabs named APK Files Cleanup and Large Files Cleanup.
Step 2: It automatically scans through all the APK files to find and clear junk files. But if you want to free up more space, then try the large files cleanup.
Step 3: Simply click the “Large Files Cleanup” tab and hit the “Scan” button. It will scan your entire phone for large videos, images, unnecessary documents, etc. You can click the “Clean” button associated with each junk or large file to remove it instantly.

Sadface, well I'm not sure if it's possible at all, I was just wondering
Looks like a great piece of software tho ^^
Actually, I am using a phone manager that it online-based. The tool is called AirMore. It is a free web-based app that is used to manage phone files on the computer. You can import/export files on or from your computer to your cellphone. I love it because it is wireless. I just connect via WiFi and start managing my files.
