Want to share file with your laptop wirelessly? i found the answer, just download samba fileshare from google playstore and connect your phone and pc on the same network, then you can transfer your files wirelessly. you can see how to do it on playstore. It requires ROOT Access.
Airdroid
Another way to do that is Airdroid, even though I never tried the app you mentioned it sounds like it would work just the same way. Plus it does not require root access as far as I remember.

Bump (App)
Bump also works pretty well. There is a website you go to on your computer over the same network to share files with your phone.
I use Airdroid.
There is already a thread for discussing various apps...including file transfer apps. It is Here.
Thanks!

There's like seriously so many ways.
The 3 easiest that I use are; Dropbox, ADBWireless, and Chrome2Phone.
While only one of them is actually local (ADBWireless), the other 2 are just as quick, just as effective and just as easy.
and number 4 Awseome Drop

You could use the chrome to phone firefox extension to send the link for the apk to the phone, and use wifi to download it.
Im new to smartphones. I recently got a DroidX...now I'm hooked. But being new to the technology, I need some help. I don't want to pay Verizon any more money but could really use the 3G HotSpot for work. Ive done the research and want to root my phone...I hear z4root app is excellent!!! Its no longer available on the marketplace, so how do I download it from the web and get it onto my phone and functioning? Please all the info I can get will be usefull.
For the free hotspot, it depends on how u want it to run. (ad hoc or infrastructure mode). Infrastructure is the equivalent of a home wireless router. If you search google for "team black hat wireless hotspot hack" you should probably find what u are looking for.. This allows you to use the Verizon wireless hotspot app for free (disclaimer: this is theft and is technically stealing from verizon so I don't condone this. This is merely just info).
If u don't care about the original app, u can root the phone and search the market for wireless tether for root or barnacle tethering.
As for z4root, google the app, and then download it and use your computer to move it to your SD card. Then you can use a file explorer app (i use astro) to install the .apk file.

Thank you!!! My DroidX is now rooted! Thanks again for the help.
A friend of mine wants to buy a Desire S. He won't have 3G in his subscription for the mobile phone. In other words: the phone could only have an internet-connection by using WiFi.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have a WiFi access point in his house, because his father can not stand the radiation. All the internet-connections in his house are wired, and none of the neighbours have an unsecured WiFi access point.
So, this would mean he can't use the market, because the phone can't be connected to internet at his house. Ofcourse, he could download apps at school or at one of his friend's houses, but this is a bit unpractical.
In other words; I am looking for a certain app on the PC or a website, which can browse through the Market, and download the APKs, so he can install them manually (only the free ones ofcourse).
I already checked AndroLib and Cyrket, but none of them provides a downloadlink, only a QR-code.
Is there any alternative, or is the only way of downloading apps at his house searching APKs manually by using Google?
Thanks in advance.
That's a tough one. You can browse the market from any browser. You just need to go to https://market.android.com/.
However, when you "purchase" an app, it will only send via cellular, not internet.
I wish you luck on this.
Well, you could do that on Nokia phones by accessing the 'ovi' site and using some parameters to make the site "think" you were accessing using a mobile phone. In Android Market I don't think you can do that... But there's a way to get the programs needed: with YOUR help !!!
If you have an Android phone, you can download the apps he needs and then backup them using Titanium Backup or App Backup and Reinstall. The 'apk' files will be saved in a directory and you can send them to your friend by bluetooth, or put then on a usb pen...
But... let me tell you this: the Android phone relies SO MUCH in internet data that not having wifi nor 3g subscription is almost a crime, specially having a Desire S !!!
Thanks for the help guys!
Guess I'll have to help him whenever he wants new apps, but that isn't a big deal.
At least there is another one who switched to Android
just google the file and youll get the app.

You can create Office docs with OfficeSuite Pro, but it's a paid app.

Just a thought. .. Say I downloaded a game off the Play store with my Android and i get home and someone else also wants it. I recently found out theres an app called "ApkShare" to send this game install via wifi bluetooth etc. to another device. So since this is possible could pc app not be created that allows u to backup ur apps/games u download to a home server so that whoever has access via wifi or bluetooth can then download that apps u backed up.
Something with like a XBMC interface on ur android device.
Oh is this old news... if so what is it called?
