★Available on Play Store - Send! Lite★​
"The most valuable part of Send! is that it focuses on ease of use. More apps should follow that goal. I highly recommend it to everyone, and I give it a 9 out of 10!" - OMG!Droid - Read full review here.
What is Send! ?
Send! is an easy way to send multiple files to other Android devices without using the Internet. It's design to be as user friendly as possible so even your non-tech savvy friends can use it!
Easy as 1, 2, 3 !
Step 1: Scan QR Code on receiver's screen
Step 2: Pick files to send
Step 3: Click Send!
No more scanning for devices and all that fuss!
BEAM to Send! (NFC)
You can now send or receive files using Android Beam (NFC). Simply place 2 Android Beam compatible devices back-to-back, wait for a beep or a vibration then touch the sender's screen to initiate the transfer. This will even work without haven't the app on the receiver!
Note: Android Beam is only available on device running on Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 or above with NFC chip. (e.g. Galaxy S3, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7 etc)
Auto-Detect Bluetooth or Wifi !
Send! will intelligently detect the fastest way to transfer depending on what connections are available!
This means Send! will use Wifi for hi-speed transfer if the 2 devices are in the same network, otherwise Bluetooth will be used. All of this is done in the background without concerning the user.
Features:
✓ BEAM to Send! - Use NFC to pair & initiate transfer!
✓ Super easy to use! Zero setup required
✓ Send multiple photos, music or videos at once
✓ Auto-detect fastest way to send - Bluetooth or Wifi
✓ No Internet required!
✓ Fast pairing with QR code
✓ Widget support
✓ Send from other apps using Share
✓ Auto-saved pairs list
✓ Easy access to received files
✓ Beautiful interface, even for old phones!
How does it work?
The QR code is actually the Bluetooth MAC address of the receiver. The sending device uses this unique address to pair with the receiver and a connection is established. The devices use this link to communicate and decide whether it is possible to transfer over Wifi and if so the IP address of the receiver. This is why Bluetooth is always used even if both devices are on the same Wifi network.
Get Send!
★ Get Send! Lite from Play Store
★ Scan the attached QR code for link to the Play Store page
★ The apk of the free version is attached for those who do not have access to the Play store
Coming Soon!
★Wifi-hotspot connection for hi-speed transfer outside of a Wifi network
★ Please post any feature requests you'd like to see in Send!

*Reserved*

Great App!
Installed the lite version, then I purchased the the full version for my gnex and razr.
I've sideloaded it too to my Nexus 7, but I couldn't install the paid one cause tabs are not yet supported thru the Play Store, though it worked great on my nex7 and gtab 10.1.
One request though, can you make a shortcut or widget for quickly receiving and sending files?
Thanks!

Needs a NFC version of this app!

Thanks for your support and feedback! Since you are the first to reply I'll put the widget on the top of my to-do list
The reason you can't install it on your Nexus 7 from the Play store is because it doesn't have a camera (the front facing one doesn't count according to Google). It should for your gtab though since it has a camera, are you sure you can't see the app on your gtab?

To transfer using wifi, both devices must be on the same wifi network. Also, note that with most public wifi services (e.g. Universities or Libraries) access between devices are restricted so transfer with wifi will not work.
My next upgrade (Send! Pro only) will allow one device to act as a wifi hotspot so you can transfer files using wifi even if you are outside of wifi services.

Make sure your are beaming from the pair picker screen. If nothing is happening then check that android beam (not just nfc) is enabled on your GNex. You can test beam by trying it on other apps and it should at least be responding.
Let me know if it's still not working.
Billy

request
Can you do another version of this app in with you can send with nfc and only with p2p wifi connection? Like S-beam?
Tnks

Works absolutely phenomenal, can share entire photo album with one click ! Never seen such a functionality in any other app. Only concern is my set doesn't work over Wi-Fi. I have HTC One X and Asus Nexus 7 both conected to the same network and both running android 4.1.1 and still they will send files only over BT. That wouldn't be a big concern if Nexus had BT at least 3.0, but mine has 2.1 and is damn slow. Any possibility for Wi-Fi Direct when both are not connected to the same network?

Yes, p2p wifi is coming to Send! Pro soon

Sounds interesting. I'm curious, from a technical side what method does it use to accomplish this, and how long does it keep them off for?

I tried it out. Showed all the computers on my network and enabling it blocked the Internet on my computer. I was still connected to the wifi but the Internet didn't work. My brother was playing a game in the basement and when I enabled his I heard him swearing from down there. Pretty cool app.
Yes I have the same questions as post #2. Can I go to starbucks with this and punt everyone?

Yeah once you disable it works again. I have no idea how this works but it's awesome.
I am also wondering if you can goto a Starbucks or connect to a schools wifi and block everyone or if public wifis have something that my home wifi doesn't that won't let this work. I wonder if there's anyway to get caught using this.

Could you get caught? Technically, yes. If an IT person was trying to figure out what went wrong, they could figure out what manufacturer made the device (using the MAC address) and then go searching through people's pockets and bags to see what Samsung device is doing it. Will you get caught doing it at a Starbucks? No way.
Also, yes it will work on a public hotspot well.

Hell yeah!
Freakin awesome app! Ha.
Will this only work for LAN connections? Such as lets say an Xbox connected to the same network but thru wire instead of wireless?

It's the same idea as FaceNiff (I'm a developer of it also), basically it sends ARP Reply's to all of the devices in the network fooling them to think that your mobile is router. And then all of the devices try connecting to network THROUGH your device... and you just drop every single packet from them. In this version it's just dropping packets but maybe later I'll try adding some sort of primitive REJECT target. If anyone is interested in adfree version it's available on slideme as a donation And the projects site is actually a forum over here: http://forum.ponury.net/
This is a freaking awesome app. Not only does it do what it's designed for. It can help you see who all is connected to your home network. Thanks for your work on this. This app will be put on my list of must keep apps.
hey nice idea
but when i i tried to scan for devices on the network it said my rom didnt have somekind of binary/netfilter help plz ?

This app depends on the network configuration in some networks each device is placed in separate VLANs and rendering it impossible to use this app, but it should work on most networks.
Works (on wifi only, not on wired but that's the idea anyway), but I can't turn it off. It says shutting down but it stays ON.

Productive Wireless Linking Apps that Complement the Galaxy Note 8 with other Smartph

I still use my Galaxy Note II as it is convenient as a main communications device, while the Note 8 for when I need to work, drawing and presentations. I've been doing some research on making them connected productively.
The projectors in the school where I teach are still using the old VGA analog socket and I've finally found an HDMI to VGA adaptor to go along with the micro USB to HDMI compatible with the S3, S4, Note II, Note 10.1 and of course the Note 8. So, instead of spending much more on the AllShareCast dongle (I'll get one eventual as I had to spend on that rare VGA connector), I can connect my Note II to the projector to mirror what I have on the Note 8.
You need to root however. I really must say rooting gives more useful tools in making your Android devices as the more useful platform around.
For best remote control app with pointer pad, keyboard, media, and game controls, I recommend DroidMote. It's a paid app, and quite responsive via wifi or bluetooth. It's not optimized to respond to S Pen pressure sensitivity or be able to make line drawings on the receiving device.
For sms alerts, reading and composing using your smartphone's SIM number, Dinamotxt (paid) mirrors them on the Note 8 via bluetooth. This is especially useful for me as the stick my Note II on the window as a wifi hotspot as I have an unlimited data plan.
And finally, RemoDroid (beta, and is still free!). It exactly mirrors whatever you are working showed on the streaming device to receiving device(s) via wifi signal. Receiving device(s) can remote control the streaming device. It's not that smooth but I can demonstrate drawing processes and markups on presentation slides.
There are other apps but the above are the more useful. Got any other effective apps you can recommend?

I discovered that with RemoDroid, you can view your streaming Android device's screen display on a computer on the same wifi network. You just need to type the designated URL on the PC's web browser found on the device, and a small flash applet would be initiated to start the viewing. There is a lag though, depending how busy is the network.
In this way, you just need the projector connected to the pc to present your device's content wireless. Pretty neat. I get to walk around the classroom while lecturing.

Hello, just thought I'd give my input on good linking apps for the note 8 and a smartphone. Have you tried foldersync or syncme? I like the idea of syncing folders across devices (no pc or internet/drop box required).
My usage scenrio is mainly for taking down notes for lectures...the note 8 is great for notes and annotating images for notes but the 5 megapixel camera (although nice) is just not up to par for taking pictures of white boards or power point slides from afar. Furthermore, lifting a tablet to take pictures is somewhat unwieldly. I can take pictures using the S2 then sync (not just "transfer" but "synchronize") camera folders so I can edit the pictures immediately on the note 8 for note taking. I use camera ace on the S2 since it can designate what folder gets your pictures as you take them. So you can set up a "LECTURES" setup up that immediately dumps pics to a "LECTURES FOLDER" and a "FAMILY" SET UP for a family folder.There's also camscanner to convert the pictures of that folder to a PDF. then sync all over to the note 8 at a push (vis syncme or foldersync) of a button and do annotating/note taking there. "SYNCHRONIZation" is more efficient then transferring bulk files i believe.
The only problem with syncME is that it uses smb shares but if your note 8 is already rooted then samba share servers are all over the playstore. Foldersync is more robust in that it supports FTP, SFTP, FTPS, SMB, WEB DAV, CLOUD (like drop box) and resume (sometimes).Lately, though, a few versions back, reviews on the playstore claimed foldersync showed riskware? Haven't detected any though on the latest update. :fingers-crossed:

Ah, I'll try those. I've been thinking about syncing folders. Cloud saving is done manually.
There is also an sms app called dinamotxt that transmits your sms to your tab if your phone unit is your main com number of other number.

Nice, I'll check out dinamotxt also...
Regarding sms, across tab and phone, you reminded me of a particular project I've been trying to get up and running between the note 8 and S2...its usese tasker.
I already know tasker can be used to automate and send commands across android devices using autovoice and autoremote but these usually require internet and an online website html web page...
I'm trying to get my S2 to dish out commands to the note 8 while it's in may bag..
Scenario 1 (tried and it works/but really just a proof of concept):
1) I will call the note 8 with the phone...
2) This will trigger bluetooth on which will connect to the S2
--blue tooth is already triggered on the S2 when I called the note 8 (automatically via a tasker profile)
or
2) wifi or AP will be triggered on both divices so they can connect instantaneously (all simply by calling the note 8, again all automated with tasker on both devices)
3)an sms messaging app connecting tablet and phone is also simultaneously triggered. I use sms tablet lite. (works fine so far but I'll give dinamotxt a try as well ).
4) from there I can tell the note 8 to sms someone using it's own sim card without ever pulling the note 8 out of the bag.
5) tasker will automatically turn off bluetooth or wifi based on a set number of conditions (after a lull time with no commands / change in geolocation or after a second call from the S2)
Scenario 2 (what I hopefully want to accomplish to unleash to full might of tasker)-> this hopefully is done with no internet connection or paid sms
1) call the note 8
2) trigger bluetooth or AP or wifi lan or even wifidirect
3) send tasker commands from the S2 to the note 8...from here on the possibilities are endless....
tasker commands, tasker profiles, tasker scenes....
4) AUTOMATICALLY shut off the connection again via tasker.
Possible solutions: Nonrooted devices:
1) as I mentioned ealrier, all of these can already be accompished via autoremote and autovoice but these all require a working internet connection and an html/url web page on a server somewhere (it's not that I don't trust the autoremote developer who I think is a true genius, it's just that I want it all to run without the internet....)...
2) SMS message: send an sms message from the S2 to the NOTE 8 (the main reason why i got the note 8 3G version was for tasker and not really to make calls)...set up tasker to read the sms message and then take it from there but this will cost money (cheap but still not free). it is a very plausible solution though.
3) send messages to the notification bar.-tasker can read notifications and take it from there
-This is the real dilemma...the best messaging system (LAN or AP without the need for paid sms or internet) I've found that sends messages to the notification bar is IPMSG: it sends the entire "message" leading to very specific commands via tasker.
-the problem is that with the latest jellybean update, the notification panel has become rather complex (it's interactive now with pictures and all). Tasker can no longer distinguish the main body of the notificaiton from the title of the notification...and since the title of the notification for IPMSG is always "new message" that kinda limits me to just one type of command. (tasker now only read the title of the notification)
4) remote widgets:
I read that the sony smart watch has an app then can put widgets on the smartphone directly on the smartwatch. Tasker can trigger commands based on customized widgets. So you can press on a widget on the watch and tasker does the command immediately as if you touched the tablet. I'm trying to look for an app that does the same thing but instead of putting the widgets on a smartwatch, it will put the tasker widget on the S2.
Possible solutions: for rooted device.
1) if you have a rooted device, utter! which I found here on XDA is a possiblity. Utter can make use of google's built in offline voice recognition software and links with tasker, you can voice command the note 8 via the phones-utter->offline-google voice recognition->tasker tablet.
This i haven't done yet...
I'm really interested in fully integrating tasker between the note 8 and various other android devices. I think it is the true defining factor of the complete android experience setting android miles apart from the proprietary mobile OS's. Just wish I could get it to work...hehe...:fingers-crossed:
ProjectER, wow, I only keep a smartwatch (SE LiveView) to control my GT-N7100 than my Note 8. I really use my 8 as a secondary number with my old SIM card for contacts who aren't updated with my new number.
I connect a bluetooth ear set to both for incoming calls. I also opt to get myself a Sony stereo bluetooth earpiece with display to read text and incoming call ids for both. Expensive as the unit maybe at P5k, I want one for easy operation while commuting. It has a slot for micro SD and a radio.
I don't like taking out my devices so much in public. I've done some extensive forum posts about the Hidden Note 8 and II for concealment.

I had bought the 5 pack NFC Tec Tiles that triggers tasks or profile changes for my Note II. When I was looking for an app that does more than the Samsung NFC Managervapp, I found an interesting one called NFC Task Launcher by Tagstand. It has some extra features for non-NFC functions.
What's interesting about this app for the Note 8 is that you can trigger apps/tasks/settings when you connect/disconnect bluetooth or wifi, even via location, time/day, battery percentage and is Tasker compatible.
You can use your bluetooth devices like an media player to turn on/off the wifi hotspot for example. You need not take out the Note 8.
The only thing is, the app doesn't appear on the Play Store via Note 8 and I had to extract and copied the apk of it using Titanium Backup to install.
It's another addition in making my Hidden Note 8 project even better.

Until Google gets sync going.......DataSync
If you use any of the same apps on both phablet/phone and tablet or just multiple types of devices it is nice to have the same app data across all devices. Works via WiFi, NFC, and BT and the paid version syncs automatically.
One more app that is meant for the sake of time tracking and management and as such it is the market leader in terms of time tracking. The tool that I am talking about is Replicon. The hassle free experience with cloud based and calender based and user friendly interface helps manage the time and keep the users active and upto the mark.
아직 해보지 않아서 잘 모르지만, 이렇게 간단하고 편리하게 업그레이드 할 수 있을 것 같아서 기대 됩니다. 감사합니다.

[APP] WebSharing 2.0: view/transfer files/media via browser/WiFi

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.

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?

Thanks for reporting this!
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.

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.

[APP/13 Jan/2.4] CarHud - Heads Up Display for Speed and Music Info

PRIVACY POLICY:
I don't collect or do anything with any of your data, any data used by the app is kept within the app.
UPDATE: BIG THANKS TO AMDPhenomX4 WHO HAS PROVIDED SOME UPDATES TO THE CODE, HIS UPDATES CAN BE FOUND HERE https://github.com/jaredkaczynski/CarHud_2.4_Update2
I missed the HUD in my corvette when in my daily driver, so I decided to throw this app together. I'm using the AppRadio 3 so my "sender" device is the one playing music, but I wanted the track info on the HUD so the result is this app. It's very much a work in progress, but I thought I'd throw it out there for anyone else to try to see if anyone has any ideas on how to make it cooler or wants to help with development. I figure most of us here probably have an old, unused android phone sitting in a drawer that might be of better use as a HUD.
SETUP:
STANDALONE:
- Works as a standalone HUD. Uses GPS for speed data and displays track information.
SENDER:
- You must pair the bluetooth device you want to connect to before hand, then select that device in settings.
- This device simply listens for media changes and text messages and relays them via bluetooth to the receiver.
RECEIVER:
- This method listens for an incoming bluetooth connection, and once connected, listens for track information and incoming text messages.
PLANS:
- Cobra aura database
- plugins for google play, pandora; (if available)
- revamp display for different screen sizes
I still haven't gotten around to making a video of my setup... its been to cold here in IL to do much work to the car!
##### SOURCE CODE
I've had some requests to modify my files and make changes and updates. As I have had no time to do so, I'm releasing the source code for anyone to use and tweak as they see fit.
If you use any of my source code, I ask that you not charge anyone for your resulting project and please make your updates available here for us all to enjoy!

Dude, that's pretty sick! I'm a bit confused though.
This is for a second device to act as HUD (that perhaps stays with the car) and maintains a connection to the car's bluetooth A2DP to stream music to the car; bluetooth OBDII dongle for rpm; bluetooth Iradar?
So, Ideally, this HUD device might be a tablet?
Where does the HUD device get internet? from my daily driver phone in my pocket? or it doesn't need it?
Got anymore screenshots?
Looks really coool man. Thanks for the hard work!
Is this in the play store?

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it! I haven't heard too much feedback from anyone, so I was curious is anyone had any interest in it.
Anyway, while carhud can work as a standalone, I designed it for my needs which would be for two devices. I've got an appradio 3 in the car that basically makes your android phone your headunit for playing music, navigation, etc etc. So my main android phone (galaxy s4) is always the device playing music in my car. So carhud is running as a sender on it and sending pertinent info over to the receiver device (my old phone, a samsung galaxy s2). The s2 makes its own connections to obd2 and the cobra and then just waits for info from my main phone. So, even if my main phone wasn't connected, I would still get speed, rpm, temp, battery and radar alerts.
The connection between the two phones is just a simple bluetooth serial port for sending data, so the a2dp conneciton is still between my gs4 and the headunit. The sender simple reads the current playing track and sends that data via serial over to the gs2. It does the same thing for incoming calls, texts, navigation commands, etc. So this setup would work perfect for people using any type of audio connection(wired, a2dp, or hdmi/mhl like the appradio) to their car headunit.
The HUD device could be any android app you wanted it to be. I figured a lot of people probably had old android phones laying around their house, no longer in use, that they wouldn't mind dedicating for this... and wouldn't be concerned about leaving them in their car. But, you could definately use a tablet too. Although, I think the smaller screen of an old phone might be more reasonable to have in the dash. :laugh:
Carhud doesn't use any data on the hud once installed, but I do have bluetooth tethering enabled on mine for any data the s2 might want. I'm then using tasker to automate that connection.
Also, I'm using tasker to handle auto starting carhud on boot and auto shutdown once power is lost. I then put a modified playlpm on the gs2 to enable auto turn on once it sees power.. giving me a fully automated system.
As far as screenshots, I'm working on making a video of it in action once I figure out a good hud film. Right now I've just got the phone in mirror mode bouncing off some light tint in the windshield. It looks great at night but during the day the HUD is barely visible. I'm going to try to find some darker tint to put on the front windshield to see if that resolves the issue. Once I get that going I'll focus on getting a demo video up.
Thanks again! Feel free to hit me up with any other questions, or suggestions, or anything. I'm always looking for ways to make it better.
-John
ah, gotcha. cool! This would work really well with a tablet!!! There's that $200 13.3" Archos tablet that would be perfect for a wide-angle heads-up display!!!
Hey, I didn't realize you had updated right before Thanksgiving for maps access. I'll definitely be using for Christmas. Can't wait to try it out. Now I just have to upgrade my s4 to 4.3 finally. Also, do you have a donate link? And have you put it on play?

Yeah, I added a simple step by step direction display to the hud... it only works from the sender and only on 4.3 devices (since it grabs the info from the notification and 4.3 added that ability). Hopefully that works out for you. I still would like to throw in a full fledged navigation with map display, but it'll take some time because of the new google maps api and the dropped features. I am planning on throwing it on google play here pretty soon, I've made a couple more bug fixes that I want to integrate. I'll probably just throw an ad in the settings page to try to make a few bucks for further hardware purchases (I'm really hoping to try out a pico projector setup for the hud!!) But as far as donations, I really really appreciate it but I just want to throw this out there for now, open to all for free in hopes that I'll get some good feedback and ideas to come up with something really cool in the end.

If you get the builtin maps support working, if possible with the new api, that would be awesome. The only other suggestion I would like is a couple things like elevation and temp. I have the temp always in my notification from beautiful widgets. But that might be pretty specific to just me.
Anyway, from what I've seen so far it looks great. It'll be tomorrow before I can jump to 4.3 and test. And if you go the pico projector route post up some pics, if you don't mind. Lastly, for daytime usage, the one thing I have found that works great is a 7 in mirrored tablet screen protector. The only thing I'm afraid of with using it is the reflection also seems to go the other way a little bit, and I don't want to get pulled over.

The problem is I can't access the menu on my Galaxy Nexus to set it up from the start. I had no problem with the s4, but it has hardware buttons.
Next, could I request full screen support on devices that have onscreen buttons. I was going to use the nexus as my receiver and s4 as my sender.
Thanks regardless of the answer.

New update released to google play. Now using action bar for settings, which should resolve any tablet issues. Also added elevation for ya... still working out a good method for temperature. It's definitely going to require data usage, so trying to figure out the best method. Let me know how it goes please!

Great idea
How much does it affect other drivers from the front
And any tips for material for reflecting

I've used a mirrored tablet screen protector before and that works great. But it reflects off the front of the car, so I made me nervous about getting pulled over.

I'll forward this thing to product team asap, but unfortunately we dont have S2 to test with, it works fine with S3 though.
Since WeLine is still in Beta, we will fix a lot of things
One question though, which version did you use?
0.9.6 0.9.1 or 0.9.0 ?
And make sure you have grant WeLine accessing your camera
Thanks

Great! we are more that happy to hear that. Stay tuned for more updates!
Thanks
This is awesome! Great job.
I'm a little concerned about security though. Every time we view a file from the phone on weline.cc, how is that file getting to the PC and is it secured in any way? Is it stored anywhere?
Possible bug? When I try to backup Messages via weline.cc, the generated .txt file doesn't seem to be unicode. I have multiple languages, including non-Latin ones like Hebrew, being used in my messages and the txt backup is just a mess.
Linux
No linux support... Uninstalling.
Would love to have login feature that airdroid provides rather than manual scan . If that feature is provided this thing is better than AIRDROID in every other way . Also why dont you merge this with Xender itself ?
Nice app with a great interface! The logging in also works smooth.
I do however have a bug with the browser and .flac files while connected. When I'm trying to add files from my pc to my phone through the datafolders browsing with weline.cc (in Chrome), my whole Chrome will instantly crash as soon as I go within a folder that contains a .flac music file.
I already found out that .flac is also not supported as music file the phone can let the pc play through the WeLine stream function. Normal .mp3 files work perfectly though
Don't it work without intenet connection
I mean will it work with wifi direct only no ineternet connection like playing games through wifi multiplayer. router with wifi only no internet connection.

I have been fan of xender for a while now. The simpisity and the features it provides is amazing and it is the best way to transfer files between mobile devices . And once again this is the best app there is to connect the pc and android phone. It looks awesome it fells awesome and it is very reliable if it is coming from the people over at xender i'm sure of it. but if this app transfer data through wifi direct why bother visting the sit and scanning the qr code isn't there any way to connect the devices offline without having a internet connection it would be great to connect the devices locally like other apps and it seems flac file doen't seem to play in the brower those are the only flaws i think it has. once again awesome appp people keep up the good work.
Hay dude this is perfect work. I want to help to Turkish translation. Can i?
QR scanner not working for me either
Looking forward to trying this.
WeLine version 0.9.6 on a first generation Moto X KK 4.4.4 not rooted. Permissions allow for taking of pictures and videos.
Edit: The WeLine app QR scanner actually displays very bright objects, such as a light bulb, these bright objects appear darker than they should be. Darker objects flash 2X/second with a very brief dark image.
I couldn't scan the QR code as displayed on my PC but with a bright iPad screen I made a successful connection.
Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks.
This app works great on my Allview Viper V1 S (Walton Primo S2). Thanks for developer!
We have updated the app thay may fix the black screen bug :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
please try and if you could please give us the feedback

Hi jshare, thank you for using weline
On cloud relay mode, WeLine only use the server for forwarding file purposes, so our server only act as a pipe, it makes flexibility for certain users, and we can guarantee that the File will not saved in any way.
But if your phone and pc is in the same WiFi network WeLine will transfer the data locally without transferring any data to the internet.
Oh and for the bug, we will check it and will fix it asap :cyclops:
Thank you very much
