Soft Data Cable from the Market is an awesome app to wirelessly tether your phone to your computer without mounting the SD card to the Computer. It's simple and easy to use and makes a great way to get rid of tethering to transfer, music, movies, files, or anything else you need to get back and forth. Create a shortcut on your desktop to the FTP address for one click access on the computer as well as the phone!
Ill give it a try.

...but it isn't compatible with wifi tethering apps (which is my only source of internet).

tried it out and works great. you can even browse in the root directory if you enable that option. my only problem was finding it in the market because it is listed as software data cable.
Sorry to bump, does this require, and will it work on a Transform?

I'm running gingeritis 3d and I'm trying to connect my laptop to my phone. The included wifi tether app doesn't work.
The verizon app has always worked for me so I was wondering if anyone had the apk.
I tried googling one but after downloading and attempting to install via root explorer I got app not installed.

Hey, I don't know if any of you use airdroid to sync files via wifi, but I downloaded it because wifi file transfer quit working for me. However, this doesnt work either. My browser will say can't to server (have tried multiple browsers). I emailed support, but was wondering if any of you had some insight?
Adfree or adaway wouldn't effect this would they?
Thanks
AirDroid worked fine for me using the default port (and Chrome) . It's possible (and, I think, likely) that your router settings are blocking it in some way. Check those settings or change the port AirDroid uses.
Silly Question: Phone is connected to same wifi network and not using data connection, right?
I've also used File Expert's FTP share to transfer files a good bit. It works well and has an FTP client built-in so you can share between phones too.

I've been using samba filesharing without any issues from stock through revolt and now ginger 1.3. Definitely give it a shot.

So I have stored a lot of music using the default google music app and its gone to the internal data and I just received a memory card and want to change the musics' storage location to the new card but the only option I can find is to change the location of saving for when using Windows Media Sync. Is there any way to move the music and have the music app recognize the new location? I am rooted btw

The app will recogonise the music on either of the sd cards.

Use a file manager like Astro, and copy and paste the folder?

If nothing else works, connect your phone to your computer for mass usb storage. On PCs it may not recognize both sd cards, but on my Mac it does, and I simply transfer things from one disk to the other that way. Got any friends with Linux or Mac?

This is the method that puts it where you want it to be.
The next step I go to is to tell any program that I am going to use to save files to use /sdcard-ext/-insert your folder here- so my files go where I want them to.

If you have lots of files, it is better to do it through usb connection. Otherwise, app like Astro file manager is the way to go.
I just tried to transfer files from my PC (Win7) via USB MTP onto my Nexus7 which seemed to work as usual. When I tried to locate them on the tablet, I noticed that the complete /sdcard folder is still there, but empty. Also the /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/emulated.
This actually happend the second time, but the first time I just had updated to 4.2.1 and I thought I must've missed some instructions about backing up the files first, so I (falsely) assumed it was my error.
The device is the 16gb wifi only version running current android 4.2, it's been rooted after purchase in summer using Nexus Root Toolkit 1.5.3. I just use the usual popular play store apps like nova launcher, total commander, firefox and stuff, nothing special.
I couldn't find anyone on the internet with a similar issue, so I put this here.
//edit1: I have only one user set up: me alias the owner.
Hi have a look at your settings in multi user accounts. It hides them so others can not see them

I fail to see how that should affect why I don't "see" my files anymore. I haven't switched the user, I only have one: the owner. May you please make your point more clear?
You can alter where things are stored. Have you connected back to pc to search tab that way. Check storeage settings did you use ptp or mtp for transfer

I used MTP. The tablet looks empty from "within" via Totalcommander & EStrong Filemanager. Also other apps like music don't see my files. Storage shows suspiciously much free space, I guess it's really gone. From PC it looks the same, completely wiped. It recreated the /sdcard/Android-Folder, and the Apps I've used since recreated their folders... I can't find where you meant I could alter where things are stored. Storage just let's me delete stuff and users just let's me edit the away-message.
Thanks anyway so far.
Hi I use wifi file explorer. Try that to transfer your files and let me know how it goes. Its in the playstore/market

On some of the pictures & videos on my Gear, there is no option to transfer, only to delete and share. Can I transfer to my phone without USB connection?
Also, pictures do not automatically transfer (I do have it set to do so) with the ones that do have the transfer option.
Any help with this is appreciated.

Hey. If everything is set up properly on your Gear, you should be able to get pics and videos. The feature works fine on my Gear with my G2. Check your settings to make sure.
