Hello there.
Xperia M4 Aqua user here. My USB connection with PC is broken and im looking for alternative. ES File Explorer had a feature that lets you connect with your PC via Wi-Fi on a local FTP server (still not perfect, as it didnt let you preview media on FTP), but im done with ES since there is more junk than I can tolerate and after recent "sensitive notifications" in question, and im really only interested in a Wi-Fi connection. Note that im aware of PC Companion being able to connect via Wi-Fi, but it requires USB connection to setup it so its not an option for me anymore. I want to be able to transfer files from and to my PC, using phone.

Hello,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Try file sharing apps like Shareit.It has a desktop client too.

Hey, thanks for the info. I just checked SHAREit (is this the one?) and i dont like it already. Connection with PC requires version 3.0 or above and they dont even link to it on their official website; maybe thats just the case for Windows 7 app though, i didnt check. Also, just like ES, it has way too many things i simply dont need. And there are reports of various problems with the app, such as slow transfers and other, shady things. So id rather skip that one, unless theres no better alternative. You said I should try other apps like this, any specific ones you could recommend? I need names because i bet theres loads of junk in app store and I dont really want to install random things, hence asking on XDA for recommendations.

my internet explorar is not working.whenever i want to go to a website it says the page can not found foun chek the adress even if the adress is rite.can someone help me
sounds like you are missing part of the package. Look at Matt's kitchen or one of his roms to fix this. Are you using a kitchen or a prebuilt rom?
you're not setup to browse the internet. IE works fine, you probably dont have internet capabilities with your plan
If you're on T-mobile in the U.S. then that's the reason you're not able to get to any website. They've pretty much shut everyone down that doesn't have a paid internet plan. Take a look up in the non device specific general categorie and you can find out how to fix it.
Hi guys,
I've flashed my phone with the .405 euro firmware however seem to have lost remote desktop, does anyone know where this will be or how I can find the cab and reinstall it?
Many thanks.
You have this one:-
http://www.koushikdutta.com/search/label/Omnipresence
or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425627&highlight=remote+desktop
but i haven't tried either yet.
Let me know how you get on plz
ta m8,
The real windows remote desktop is definitely best because windows will scale all your windows and is really responsive, however you may have concurrent login issues if you try to use your pc at the same time!
The other is more like VNC where you view an existing login, however that then begs the question why not use a mobile VNC program as it's well established and more supported. I'd say the good thing about omnipresence is it attempts to use touchflow navigation concepts but at the moment the response is slow, could be good in the future though.

That might explain, that when I try and remote onto my PC it tells me the UN or PW is incorrect. (I know it isn't).. Is this because I'm logged in?
It should log you out on your pc when you try to connect i think

How did you have to hack Vista plz.. I'm also using that OS, so might be the same problem?
I'm useing RDM+ instead from Shape service.
Much simpler and no need to configure and firewalls.. downside is that it aint free. But then again it's a one time fee, all other upgrades are free.
lots of functions too like file upload and download. And the person that is online dosen't get log out.
Imo it's a really good application.
Again either using RDT or Logmein.com , It says user name or password incorrect.
I know its not, coz thats what I use to log into the system!!!
Any ideas, this is a real puzzler1

Hi guys,
I use my touch pro for numerous official reasons and projects. It could be anything, starting from a powerpoint presentation to a report writing and all those. However, I still need to carry my laptop around just to be sure that I have all the files and everything when I'm on the move.
That gave me an idea, was wondering if there is any method or an application, that I probably can make use of, to access my laptop remotely over wifi or internet. So that I can copy a file to and from my touch pro whenever is required...!!!
Thanks for any input...
That's the best roundup I found so far:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288506
Enjoy
you can always make an adhoc connection with your laptop
and use resco explorer to copy files off a shared drive on the laptop
usee I actually wanna keep my laptop at home switched on during my work time and wanna access it from my office with the touch pro for file sharing purposes. is that possible by any means?
yeah, youll need to use port forwarding in your router
Hey thanks for that link It did work, I installed logmein and its working so far, but I have a small query. Does the free version get over after a certain period? And if does then can I reactivate it?
I've been using logmein now for years and the free verison does not expire.

Hi,
Nowadays most people have internet flatrates even for their mobile phones.
But what about people who don´t have internet flatrates? Thats why I start this topic.....
Bump (or Hoccer) is a nice app to easily share your contact ,!!APPS!!, what so ever....
The bad thing: both need internet connection....
[Q]: Why do they need internet connection? Is it because apps are not really pushed to the other phone? Instead the other phone got the link to the app in the market?
[Q] Applications like ES Explorer are able to package apps back to apk... the could be transfered. It is my current workaround, but it is not that simple it might be - and should be.
I searched for an app with my requirements... and didn´t found one.
An app that can transfer easily whatever you want! (apps musik, whatever an file explorer could find) of course it should have some standard functions like transfer contacts..... and apps!
So other questions are:
- How difficult would it be to programm such an app? Any good tutorials out there?
- A friend of mine built an app with google´s "lego system" and also established with it a blutooth connection. It is not that difficult and google did a great job with the API
- If noone wants to program such an app, I would try it. Im not an expert, no experience with android at all. But Im willing to learn....
- What the "best" developer environment? Eclipse? Any recommended tools?
Many questions... I hope we all could help each other?

Hey guys,
due to thousands of post according to Wake up my PC I wasn´t able to find a possibly already existing posting to what I need.
I bought a Lenovo n308 Android Device and need to wake this up / start it remote because it shall be integrated in the kitchens´ wall .
Is there any chance / possibility to do a wake on lan (for example) on this device from my pc or another phone?
If my question is not clear enough let me know and I´ll try to explan it better
Thanks in advance
greets
Heba
BTW:
As this http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/wake-device-t2853187 was posted in the wrong section it can be deleted:
I've read somewhere that you can, but it's about your computer's LAN card, it needs to be compatible.
And if u need an app able to do that, Splashtop can help you and works well.
ok thanks - so i can boot my android device using the splashtop?
