Hello guys,
So, I purchased a WiFi Storage Device that is also a 5200mAh power bank and a wireless 3G/4G router.
My purpose of purchasing this was so I could plug in my 1TB hard drive and share the tons of music & videos I have on it with my PS3, laptop and especially my Nexus 5 without having to copy into these individual systems.
Every feature on this devices works fine (surprisingly ). The only problem is that the android software doesn't work with my Nexus 5 but works with other Android phones. The software runs fine on my phone and I can view the contents of my external hard drive plugged to the device but whenever to I try to play a movie or music file, the software just crashes.
I have tried the same thing on a HTC One X and a Samsung phone and I can stream the video and music just fine on them.
I even tried an unrooted Nexus 5 but faced the same problem.
Is it possible to somehow decode what causes this error?
If not can an entirely different software be written that can work with this device and on my phone?
Thanks

I have an android phone (x10 2.3.3) and I would like to mount it to my Xoom (3.2 hammerhead) wirelessly. When I connect my phone via usb OTG cable it works perfectly but I would prefer to get the same or similar results over wifi or bluetooth. I know there are many different file transfer apps but I dont want to have to download every file, this is mainly for looking at pics and maybe listening to music.
On a side note I have noticed that there are not many apps out there that integrate phones with tablets. I would assume most android tablet users would have an android phone as well. Another thing I would really like to do with my devices would be to use my phone as a mouse to control my tablet via bluetooth or any other wireless means.
I f anyone has some suggestions I would appreciate it after searching high and low for these type of integrated apps.
You can use Astaro to do so. It supports both wireless and bluetooth file transfers.
Is there a way to use my phone (Galaxy Nexus) as a media server, and then stream it to my Kindle Fire? I've heard of ways to stream from an android device to a PC, PS3, etc, but never from mobile device to mobile device.
I guess what I can do is purchase a wifi external drive like the Kingston Wi-Drive, and then connect it to my phone via wifi-tether and have a little network for my phone and tablet over wifi.
I suppose this thread can be closed since it appears nobody else has any ideas.
Unpacked it today and Really love my SGTab 2 (shame im in uk and didnt get the IR blaster, but there you go) which i returned my Nexus 7, which had all the faults, sceen lift, grey banding, yellow spot and base seperating from the screen, plus i had to convert all my movies from my media centre to the nexus 7 format, no thanks... anyway, i took it back and got this fantastic TAB2, but I have a question:
- This doesnt appear to have a USB Mass Storage settiing only MTP device, so Jriver 17 is struggling and all music is "unknown" in Stock Music player, any advice or any apps of ways to fix it. PlayerPro wont even see my Playlists, so I can only use stock music player
- Am I right in thinking that AllShare can act as IR Blaster would do, so i can use it on my TV and media centre.
Ive installed the Samsung 1550 USB drivers and flashed to XXBLH2 with a Data Reset > Clear Cache > Reboot from Recovery.
Any Advice
Night
For the first question, I don't think there is much to do since you'll need to change your ROM to change such a feature, but if you have wifi connectivity, you can try to use your files using SMB
the second question, Allshare has nothing to do with the IR-blaster, Allshare can share photos and other media on a DLNA enabled network

Thanks for the reply.. I wonder if its a JRiver issue or something in JRivers Options, because all Media players today should support MTP, I also had a similar problem with my SGS 2, but that has a Mass storage mode.. Ill check JRiver out.
The IR Blaster, not a biggy, but still a shame.. but I ca just go through WiFi, so..
Cheers
hello to all
sorry for my english
I would like to solve a problem
basically if I try to connect the nexus 5 port usb car.
does not recognize it. I connect it to the music of course
I appears on the display of the car radio (unsupported)
I used to be before the iphone 4 without problems, or even USB flash drives normal or mp3 players, I connected them with a USB cable, and immediately worked.
nexus 5 does not work
at home we have 2 nexus 5 .
one unlocked, and one still original.
neither one works
are both recognized on the PC of course, appear as removable devices.
have any ideas on how I can fix in car
i have a honda civic i-vtec 2009
You can't. The nexus uses mtp to handle external devices accessing your phone storage.
Your computer can use mtp but most car units do not have the mtp protocol which is required to access your phones storage.

If your car supports audio over Bluetooth that's probably the easiest way to get it working.
Anyone know how to watch Xfinity live TV on an external monitor?
I get the error
"Because of security protocols required by our network partners, you can enjoy this video on your mobile device only"
This is on an RCA 10" Viking Pro with Keyboard.
Android 5.0 and rooted.
I tried HDMI virtual switch with no luck, don't believe it supports 5.0. I also tried modifying the HDMI state file but I get an error when trying to save the file
I know this has to be possible, when my dad was showing me the problem he had it plugged into the keyboard and he unplugged it and all of a sudden the error went away and it worked and started playing live TV on the external screen! We got it to do it one other time but haven't been able to repeat it.
So really just need some way to mirror the display to and external monitor without the device knowing and telling other apps it is I guess
