I recently bought my mother a Motorola Bravo and I found that phone can connect to the PC wirelessly for file transfer. Also the Motoblur software is useful. Does anyone know if there is an app or setting to allow wireless connection to a PC? My laptop does not have bluetooth or I would use that. I am also not talking about tethering, just for file transfer.

Did a search but it didn't come up with anything? You wouldn't happen to have the link

There ya go...have not checked it out yet myself but I did find it in the market, has free and paid $2. Not sure what all the restrictions are on free though file size is one.
Also, the search here on xda is somewhat lacking...you are better off using google and including a reference to xda in many cases.
Try Swiftp ftp server.

Please help before I throw this damn thing out the window

Your problem is that you installed ubuntu.
Download debian or OpenBSD.
Obviously that isn't a solution

Use their forums. They can be pretty helpful.
just out of curiosity , why did you install it ?

What woul you recommend for a small self hosted Wordpress blog (brilldoctor.co.cc in fed up of veeserve mysql issues) is godaddy any good (looks good value)
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
We use godaddy for their domain services and SSL certificates for our clients, have no problems, but haven't used their hosting services.
Depending on your home PC and broadband provider (I use O2 which is perfect as they give 1Mbps upstream) have you thought of hosting it yourself?
It means it's pretty much free and you're in total control.
Two things about doin it at home. 1) I don't own th hardware and two my Internet is pretty bad (8mb down). And I don't want to affect my browsin with other people clogging up my connection.

Upstream is more important than down, I only have 2.5Mbps down, but with O2 I get 1Mbps up.
One of the websites I host gets 2 million hits a month.
Browsing the web from home, and even downloading torrents isn't affected.
As for hardware, you could install VMWare (it's what I use but there are plenty of alternatives) and run a virtual server. I run W2K3, but a linux install would be free and relatively simple to set up.
Or pick up an old PC for next to nothing and run linux off that.
Having said that, of course paying someone to host it would be easier, and godaddy are very cheap.
Their reviews are good too.
Try them for 3 months (about £10) and see how it goes.
Avoid Webfusion though! They suck

All domains have to be for at least a year.
You own the domain though, so you dictate who hosts your website.
So if it turns out godaddy give you 3 crap months, then you find a different web host, get the IP address of the server they're giving you, and update your DNS on godaddy to point to the new web server.

And IMO offline storage is more useful, especially on a Wifi-only device, but also for anyone else with a limited data plan on their phone or data connection capable tablet. Also, pretty sure a $9 16GB USB stick is more cost effective than pretty much any 16GB cloud storage option.

There is actually a thread over in the Themes and Apps section that the developer made. He is really open to input. I like the app, as I don't have to root to use a flash drive with videos saved on it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Well, isn't that a kick in the teeth, because I just rooted last night simply to use USB OTG. At first I kind of felt "meh" over the read only factor, but then I got to thinking, am I really going to need to transfer from tablet to external media? I'd much rather transfer from external media to tablet, do what I need to do with watching whatever content I may have, then simply delete it off the tablet... no reason to transfer it back when it's the same darn file. Some people may have uses for having a 2 way setup, but I'm sure this will fit the bill for a lot of people. I do find it a considerable bummer that ext* file systems aren't supported, but meh.
Thank you thank you thank you!

i dont understand the bickering of cloud data. it is nice but i have 20 hours of plane flights coming up. cloud data will not be a very good solution for me compared to plugging a hard drive into my tablet.
Being a non-root user, this is great news for me. I always used splashtop to watch my videos directly from my computer, though it gave me no trouble, I would much rather have the movie with me.
Can't wait till the developer puts it back up.
What is the name of the app? Can anyone share the APK?
Downloaded Nexus Media Importer yesterday. It works as needed on my GNex, Nexus 7 and Xoom. No root necessary. Amazing! I'd pay for this app in a heartbeat! Sorry have no place to upload it.
Looks like the developer is now charging for it:

I have 3 NFC tags, 1 I use near my front door to turn on and off WiFi and the other one on my bedside table to turn on alarm clock.

Enable magic packet/wake on lan (WOL) on your computer
Find an app that can send these magic packets to your sleeping computer
Computer is awakened.
I think it works on ethernet LAN too...not sure on that, though.

NFC is super slow. So far, Android Beam can only send LINKS, like Youtube, Drive, Play store, etc and small files like contacts.
S beam uses NFC to trigger Wifi direct. But that's only Samsung to samsung.
Unless I'm wrong. In which case please show me the light. I know of no effective way to transfer files from android to android.
Use the app SuperBeam for nfc and qr code wifi direct file transfers.

As of jellybean nfc initiates Bluetooth to transfer larger files but things like links and other small files like u meantioned use android beam.
