File Transfer - Samsung Gear S2

How do you connect to a computer to transfer files. My laptop doesnt have bluetooth, so i wasnt sure how to connect.
Do i also need to have a file manager installed on the watch to transfer them?
want to put music, and find a way install some personal ringtones.
Has anyone been able to change to a personal ringtone as well?

I have s2 classic so not sure about sport/3g models, but with mine there is only a bluetooth or wifi connection. So I put whatever files i need to transfer on my phone first, then use the gear manager app to transfer them to my watch. Music and photos are easy through the app. For other stuff like pdf, etc you need to rename those files to a video or music extension like .mp3, then move them through gear manager to the watch, then use a watch app like filemaster to rename the file on your watch back to pdf. Not sure about ring tones, haven't looked into that yet. Hope this helps.

With a file manager on the watch, can you obtain root access? Really aren't too many developmental threads on the watches. Guess the demand isn't high enough to have people in development stages.
Which brings me to another question. If I started to develop an app, how would you transfer to the watch?

.... i need an app to taking files from phone directly to gear s2....
I'm shure. is the only way for resolving a lot of problems, 4 example see photo of watsupp or any other not supported app

Not sure about root on tizen... hopefully more devs get involved in the future. Tizen started off small but is starting to increase it's presence in the market with the popularity of its Gear smartwatch line.
If you develop an app I assume you would connect the watch to your home wifi network and then connect your home pc to the watch using sdb. I could be wrong, but not seeing any other way.

Folks, I know this is almost off-topic, but Is there any way to transfer music files through this method?

You can use Filesmaster. It is installed on Gear S2 and it allows to transfer files to your watch from a phone, another watch S2 and from computer.
It put transferred files to appropriate folders on watch like mp3 to music, pictures to pictures, movies to videos folder.

Can Filesmaster be installed on the Gear S2 without a compatible Android phone?
I found a thread about deploying apps into the Gear S2, to find it, google "Developer: How to deploy to Gear S2 smartwatch - Tizen Experts". Fairly complicated, it requires several developer tools, but it works. I could not figure out where to put music files though!

Yes, you can use Filesmaster Standalone to transfer files between any Android phone and Gear S2.
You have download Filesmaster Mobile Plugin from Google Play. It uses Bluetooth connection. You can
transfer files for both directions. Additionally you can transfer files from/to computer via theirs application
launched on a computer called Filesmaster Desktop Plugin. All download from filesmaster home page

I have installed last version 4.0.1 and they added function to send files as attachment to email.

DLNA player for Android?

Ok, I use TVersity/PS3 Media Server to share my media to my TV/PS3/360 for viewing on the TV, and now i'm using PlayON to eventually replace it.
I was wondering if there is an app that anyone knows of for Android that will play DLNA shared content (over 3G/Wifi)
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated
now i just have to find a set of TV cables for my Incredible
Twonky works for PS3 but not 360.
sorry, i should have clarified, I want to be able to see my media server content on my phone, not from my phone to my PS3/360.
Thanks though, i may have to look that server up
I think I recall reading the Samsung Galaxy S will include a DLNA client and server app.
simply google samsung dlna, there was a posting on phandroid about it. (i would post the link but new account, first post, etc)

While I have DLNA on my Samsung TV, every search i did for the DLNA component of Galaxy S says sharing to the living room, not the phone.
I need it to be from the PC server to the phone via DLNA, not the other way around
Thanks for the info though, didn't know Samsung was making an app for Android
i hope to find one
one thing i found interesting while searching through the list of managed applications on my Incredible was, I found that theres an application similar to the one on Windows Mobile by HTC called "Streaming Media Player by HTC" but i can't find anywhere to run the application, its like its "hidden"

Free player that works on Galaxy tab
Try Vplayer (free) that was just released on the market. If your server or NAS has basic http viewer (Twonky or otherwise) you can navigate to your media files through a browser and long click on your file and select vplayer as your preferred player. This has worked flawlessly on my galaxy tab.
Also if you have access to the pay market I've seen that Plug player was just released that should be able to playback videos straight of the server without the need for browser access.
This was the last thing my tab wasn't able to do so now it's complete and perfect..
supply this link for you: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/dlna+player
this site lists dlna player for android, hope you can get you want
Hey I know what you're looking for, however no great solution for Android yet, the following is a list of programs which will work, but none are perfect, a lot have some features not all, and 3g streaming is sketchy, anyway check em out see if any work for you.
Qloud video
RedDONUT
PLEX
MIRAGE
VLC Remote
I am still hoping airvideo will someday become available for android, this is the perfect app for this in iOS
Look up upnplay on the market. I've been using it for a couple months now and it works perfectly for me.

That app is used to watch videos through the browser such as Skyfire in Android mode rather than Desktop mode.

they have a dlna player on the Droid X. i might be able to pull it from it tomorrow. you can see if it works from that.
A lot of these streaming bundles are a specific server and client pair...
I installed a generic DLNA server - TVersity and then installed one of the many DLNA browser/player apps from the market.. My Samsung Charge already has one on it - allshare..
On my tablet I settled on bubbleUPNP. It allows me to browse the video audio etc.. and play the media on the media player on the my choice - MXVideo..
No specific player/server combination is needed.

Try Skifta.
PLEX Update
PLEX has just been updated and the latest server version and client allow you to stream all your media to your phone via 3G or WIfI, best of all, all you have to do is login to your account on the server and on the phone and it just works. I have been waiting for an app to do this on Android for a long time, PLEX is now my number one program on my phone.
How is plex compared to emit?

watch on tv what's on the phone's screen
hi guys,
is there any way to stream through a dlna server what is showing on the phone screen? it would be nice to sit in front of my tv and surf the internet on a 56" screen instead of a 4" screen.
Another option
I set up my videos folder on my HTPC as a network share, and installed esfilexplorer and mxvideo apps. I just connected via wifi in esFileExplorer and select videos and play them back with MxVideo works great. I am doing this on a Lenovo IdeaPad K1.
I also run tversity and can connect to htpc via web interface if I am not on home network, works but web interface is pretty basic and load times can be long on large files.

Bubble is great and it controls the volume on my tv yaaaaaay
Skifta is probably the best for DLNA client/server on Droid that is free (if you want you can setup their PC server for playing the media on your comp anywhere via 3G/WiFi even at a friends and if you want you can even remote access your home DLNA server from your friends house then use your Droid as a bridge to any DLNA client on that wifi network. It's pretty cool.
If you're a TVersity fan/lover, just enable web access and use their flash or mobile relay interface to watch over 3G or Wifi (but you'll need a streaming player like MX Video or alike to watch remotely instead of downloading then watching).
I myself use Skifta only on my phone and combine TVersity on my PC with web portal activated and MX Video to watch everything.
(Twonky is good if you have an Internet TV but costs money and their help desk is ****).

[App][2.2+] DreamStreamoid - TV everywhere (3G with android, VLC and dreambox)

I’d like to introduce DreamStreamoid.
DreamStreamoid is an android client for enigma2 receivers (e.g. Dreambox, VU+, IPBox, QBox).
The focus is on the streaming of TV, radio and recordings.
You can easily stream channels and recordings, switch channels, browse the EPG, choose bitrates and scalings via the mobile phone and much more.
It is possible to stream your audio and video content to your phone where ever you are, if you have at least a 3G internet connection (over a VLC server).

Hey
Very cool app - works great!
Great, works well - any chance you can add support for SSL?
Possibly!
The problem is, that VLC doesn’t support https!
And using the enigma WebIf over https, the way other tools (like dreamdroid) are doing that, doesn’t seem much more secure!
In a other thread, I’ve found this:
The problem with https is, you can never be sure, that the box you are talking to is your receiver.
Because every dreambox has the same certificate! Or am I wrong?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That’s certainly right!
It would be most secure, if you create a own ssl certificate and exchange it between phone and receiver.
I could imagine to write a ssl proxy running on the VLC-PC or receiver.
The challenge is to make it easy to use.
We will see…
If anybody has a different opinion – please, let me know!
Hello

Hi...
I tried this and I have to say that this is quite cool but...
I can live-stream and watch also recordings but:
- I cannot watch all recordings... it seems that short ones are ok but longer not
- Also DreamStreamoid Server this is not even running and these are working??
- DreamStreamoid Server.exe crashes when I am trying to start it?? (windows 7 ultimate 32 bit)

Tool to restart the vlc service process?
Hello Torsten,
First of all, thanks for this great tool!
But I've got 2 questions:
1) After I've watch one channel via 3G and I want to watch a other channel then 9 out of 10 times I only hear a sound chip and then nothing happens.
After I restart the VLC service process (which is allot faster to do then to reboot the whole machine (which by the way; the pro plug in works great ) then I can watch successfully to a other channel.
So can you upgrade the pro plug in so that the user can choose to just only restart the VLC service process or the server?
(My config; Latest VLC version (v1.1.11) and Win7 64-Bit).
2) Is it possible to use fast forward (or skip to xx:xx time frame),etc, when 3G and VLC is being used to watch recordings? (This seems only to be working locally when using Vplayer).
Thanks in advance!!

It looks like your computer is a bit too slow.

If you want, you can send me the VLC logs.

I have dreamstreamoid up and running over 3G just great - BUT - when I select another channel (zwap) the reciever does not change channel so streaming fails.
Any sugestions?
For the time beeing I use anoter app to change channel then request stream - OK
Hi matsene
DreamStreamoid doesn't switch channels on your TV.
If you use a receiver with only one tuner, you can turn your box into standby.
That will solve your problem.

OK - then i suggest that you add functionality so that I can control what channels to stream from the dramstreamoid - avoiding the need to use e.g DreamDroid to switch channels.

Hi! i am strugling to get the enigma plugin to work, i ahve vu+ duo and copied the dreamstreamoid folder to extesions folder. set passwords and port and opened ports in router. but i do not know if it is running or not ? I can not turn on vlc pc, so something is wrong...
Can someone help?
Hi praun
The plugin runs in backround.
You can't see anything!
Sometimes I will enhance the plugin with a log window or something like that.
It is probably a problem of the configuration of your PC.
You have to enable WOL in the BIOS and Windows.
Perhaps, you try a WOL Client from a second PC or try a WOL-App on your phone.

it possible my pc on work as a vlc server pc ?
im new here i like this software from all other apps because it the only one can stream to 3g.
the problme is that i dont whant to use my pc on my home as vlc server so my question is
if it possible to use my pc at work as a vlc server ?
(my pc at work is online 24/7 and i have control to open any port there it behind fortiget firewall)
if it possible how to do that ?
Hi avinaimi
It could be possible, if you have a very high upload bandwith at home.
I would say at least 7-8Mbit/s. And you should use a VPN. Otherwise it is not secure.
You could use the PRO version. With that, you can switch your PC on and off from your phone!

[Suggestion] App that routes all android audio to PC via Wifi (No DLNA or UPNP)

Hi there,
I want to make an app suggestion. I hope that this does not count as cross posting as I already put a question, if such an app exists in the Q&A section of android. Since I did not get an answer, I suppose that there is no app like this:
Please see my original post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379161&highlight=Audio
I want to summarize the general idea of the app:
I think it would be great if you could output all (or most) of your android audio via wifi to the PC. If you could create an app, that would work like the bluetooth headsets or car radios, you would have something like airplay for apple (at least for sound). This would be really different from using dlna or upnp solutions or remote controls and would have several advantages, because you could switch between listening with your ear plugs to going to the hifi system coupled with the PC without a break (or at least very little). You could output all sounds like music apps which are using streaming services and don't offer remote controls.
As I posted in the Q&A forum before, I am no developer. But I want to make the suggestion here. I think, a lot of people would love an app like this. Perhaps something like this could be done, if you fool android to believe that it connected to a bluetooth device, but in fact it is the app which is rerouting all the audio to the client on the PC.
I would be happy to hear, if you think this is a ****ty idea or if you like it. Is it even possible on a rooted phone. Or is fooling bluetooth to much of a hassle?
Best regards,
Bel.
Perhaps I did not properly explain, what my suggestion was?
In a short formula it would be: (fake) a2dp but with wifi and not bluetooth.
Something like this possible?
Bad style....
I know this maybe bad style, but I wanted to push this thread up again. So I am writing this message. --> "Push Up"
Did not want to bug you with my threads, but I am really curious if something like this is possible.

Its possible but you need two diffeent apps. one for phone/tablet, one for computer. i havent looked at the android SDK much when it comes to audio, but if you can grab the audio source, whether its hardware or software, then you can just write a quick portion that uses udp packets and a companion java app or whatever for your pc that grabs those packets off the network and plays the sounds in the packets.
Not to be rude but I suspect the reason nobody has replied to this is because it is really not desirable. If I am correct, you want to enable your android to stream music through your wifi to your computer which sends it to your speakers and causes sound. The only reason I can think you would want to to do this is if you wanted to here streaming internet radio from your android play on your stereo. Why not just access the same streaming radio on your pc via the internet? If you have no internet, just tether your phone.
I am currently experimenting with ftp serving. By setting my verizon DSL modem/router to "DMZ Hosting" ENABLED and installing "andFTP" on my phone and "serv-u" on my pc, I made my pc an ftp server which shares files with any device that has the proper credentials to access it. Currently I can access files on my pc from anywhere I go, but I have as of yet not been able to transfer streaming media. I am now looking into "UPnP" but don't know if it will work over a WAN (internet)

Setup lamp/wamp (webserver) on your pc, and install ampache media server. Works great and has a couple android clients already.
You could also setup a webdav for filesharing, and ssh for remote io. Ssh is much better than ftp for security, especially combined with keys.
If you run Linux setup mpd, and port forward to the server to allow access from anywhere. The Mpdroid android client will stream to your phone too.
Hope this helps.

I am looking an app that can stream any audio to Samsung Smart TV. Just like HTC Sense music player does with music. I've found this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.airaudio but it streams only to airplay devices.

Have you tried using the app called Skifta. Sorry i cant give you the link at the moment not at my PC
utility
I find the OP's app suggestion desirable. I have been searching for an app/program that will do just this: send all my phone audio to my WiFi speakers and/or HTPC. This option would not only allow me to switch to WiFi speakers from my headphones when I am returning home, but also to receive call/text audio notifications in a timely manner when I'm not near my phone, which is often.
Farlander said:
Not to be rude but I suspect the reason nobody has replied to this is because it is really not desirable. If I am correct, you want to enable your android to stream music through your wifi to your computer which sends it to your speakers and causes sound. The only reason I can think you would want to to do this is if you wanted to here streaming internet radio from your android play on your stereo. Why not just access the same streaming radio on your pc via the internet? If you have no internet, just tether your phone.
I am currently experimenting with ftp serving. By setting my verizon DSL modem/router to "DMZ Hosting" ENABLED and installing "andFTP" on my phone and "serv-u" on my pc, I made my pc an ftp server which shares files with any device that has the proper credentials to access it. Currently I can access files on my pc from anywhere I go, but I have as of yet not been able to transfer streaming media. I am now looking into "UPnP" but don't know if it will work over a WAN (internet)

Simply run the free AirPlay-receiver "shairport4w" on the PC and everything should be fine
Hi guys,
I just published my first app on Google Play, it's called Weezzler and it lets you play the music in you phone in any brower using wifi. No need to install anything on your computer, just control your music from the browser once you are conected. The only requirment is to be connected to the same wifi network in your phone and the computer.
Sorry I can't post links, I'm new at the forum. Soon I hope to create a special thread for this.

Something in Windoze Explorer doesn't like the movie file extensions (mkv, avi, etc.) Try renaming the file with a jpg extension. Once copied, rename with the proper extension.
Thanks ! Dumb of me to not think of that ^^

Your explorer crashed because of a plugin installed by the DivX Player. Uninstall that and your issue should be solved (you are using VLC anyway).

Like FineWolf mentioned, it's the DivX explorer plug-in (DivXMFSource.dll) that is causing the crash. It's a known problem for over 3 years, just google for the file name.
You can uninstall DivX all together or just disable the explorer plug-in using Shell Extensions Manager from NirSoft (google for ShellExView, can't post links yet).
Ok, I'm learning. I have NirSoft but don't see that plug-in anywhere,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Nor do I see it the System32 folder (if that's where it should be)?

It is unfortunate that he still has nonfree software in his computer.
He needs to defenestrate it (which means, either throw Windows out of the computer or throw the computer out of the window).

Try using a file copy manager. I use supercopier on all of my windows machines (xp and 7). Always get better transfer speeds and haven't had any problems yet. I've transfered several multi-gigabyte avi's to and from my tablet without issue.
I basically used AirDroid to transfer anything to my tablet. Wireless and it's not slow. No problem at all. =]

I'm not sure I follow you. Are you having the same issues? Do you have DivX installed?
I don't have DivX installed (I use Xvid), so I don't know if it should be in system32. If you are on W7 x64 and DivX installs a 32-bit plug-in in the system folder, it will probably in C:\Windows\SysWOW64, not in C:\Windows\System32. This might also explain why you might not see the plug-in. Try running ShellExView with the /wow64 command line parameter (as mentioned on the original download page).
Yes, I have had the same issue and now I know why. Yes, I have DivX installed, it's necessary for some video work I do. I did not find the dll in the SysWOW64 folder either. I now keep my movies on the SD card and simply take it out to copy them to it. Good info.

The plug-in could also be in a folder under program files (or program files(x86) if it's 32-bit).
The alternative could be to not use explorer, or at least not browse to the folder where the file is going to be copied, until it has been copied over. I use Total Commander with the LAN plug-in to copy from the tablet to my PC or NAS. Any SMB (or samba) capable file explorer app will do the trick. Just make sure you have created a share on the PC, so you can access it from the tablet. The advantage is that you do not need to hook up the tablet to the PC using USB.
I too get the same error message, I uninstalled DIVX and ran a registry cleaner after I used REVO Uninstaller to ensure all remnants of DIVX are gone. I still get the same error message. Still dll wasn't deleted. I did run Search Everything and it found two of the same, one in the x86 and regular 64 bit folders. I did delete and the copying works.
As far as Supercopier goes, It is not user friendly at the least. Plus, it doesn't recognize my tablet in My Computer.
AirDroid works well for me. No need to plug the tablet into the computer, just transfer over wifi.

Whenever I connect my Sony Xperia to any pc/laptop over usb cable (mostly MTP mode) or wifi. It hangs the PC or takes too long to perform any file operation. So much so, that in the end I either have to end the task or reboot the PC (or sometimes plugging out the usb cable also frees the PC).
I've a 32 GB Class 10 Sandisc SD Card and Sony Vaio Win7 Ultimate SP1 64bit windows with 4 GB Ram 2.2 GHz Dual Core.
Have tried reinstalling the OS. My internal 12 Gb is filled around 70% and 32 gb SD chip is too filled around 75%. And Cable can't be faulty because the same it does with Wifi connectivity also.
Airdroid is not one of my favourite. I was looking for something which would be as fast as cable-connection is.
And after reading this thread, I was searching for DivX in Shell Ext Viwer, but it wasn't there. I also looked into SyWow64, ProgramFiles (x86), ProgramFiles, but couldn't find any file named/starting with Divx.
Can anyone point me to right direction. I'm troubling google for the solution for past many days and one of the webpages google sent me to was this very!

bluetooth between pc and gear s2: not file transfer possilbe

hi everyone
the bluetooth setup and verification worked fine on both sides, i.e. surface 4 and gear s2. after selecting a file for transfer towards my gear s2, the transfer doesn't occur.
i have been spending a lot of time lately to figure out how i can load some music files to my new watch.
any ideas how i can proceed? unfortunately, the gear-app on my galaxy is not showing any music files so this obvious solution doesn't work for me.
thanks in advance for any advice.

I use Filesmaster to copy files into Gear S2. From Filesmaster home page you can download bluetooth plugin for computer with Windwos and transfer files direct from computer to Gear S2. First you have to install filesmaster from samsugn store.
Best solution is to use Filesmaster and easy transfer files from computer to gear via WiFi or Bluetooth. Simple and comfortable for me.
