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.

Another dumb question: When entering the URL, you're putting :888 at the end of it, right?

Hi, just wondering if anyone can recommend a good app for sharing files (apks, pics, videos etc) between android devices? Cheers.

I'm curious about this one too. I have been using Hoccer, but it is soooo slow. It takes like 2 minutes to transfer a 12MB file. The only other one that I know of is Bluetooth file transfer, not sure how fast it is though. I would assume it's faster than Hoccer.

Tried that but it isn't great for apps that you want to share that aren't on the market where I just want to send my friend or mrs an apk.
Astro file manager with the Bluetooth module is pretty handy for sending pretty anything

root explorer and EStrong File manager "Send" via Bluetooth also works great

You can send non-market apk's. It just has to be installed on your phone first, it picks from the list of installed apps on your phone
If you're both on wifi you could try ftp. One of you starts a ftp server and the other connects.
That will be a lot faster than bluetooth.
Sugarsync or Dropbox. Same acct. SS allows you to sync folders on your sd card.

That's what I do, I can also share with non-Android devices this way (and computers). I have SwiFTP on my Nexus as a server, and use AndFTP as a client (or even the browser).
Hi all,
Has anyone had luck with the lan connection in File Manager HD, from your Xoom to your PC? I have a shared folder on my PC from which I would like to transfer some pictures to my Xoom. I"m missing something as the connection fails. The permissions on the PC are right, I believe. Do I need to enable an FTP or smb server on my win 7 laptop? I need the abillity for wifi transfers to and from my zoom so any other app recommendations are appreciated.
TIA,
Jim

I don't have problems with SMB transfer from both File Manager HD nor ES File Explorer... usually, the key is the login credentials... you'll probably have to check the settings in your Desk pc (maybe firewall too)... as long they're correct and you're in the same LAN, it should not be a problem
(it could be much faster, but at least it works...)
Now I'm using File Expert on my Zoom and an FTP client on my Win7 machine. I'm still trying to get FM HD to work. I've tried every networking trick I know and that is quite. A few.
I'll post back here as soon as I do.

I am using ES File Manager and the obvious needed checking, IP Address (check), LOGON credentials (I forgot I had to log on to the PC so Username and Password)(check). I have my D:\ shared in Windows so maybe that is the missing link ?
I get a connection and all the folders that show up are empty. The folder names, however, are correct.

This means that you have to edit the connection and put in your log in information

I know there are apps out there that make your android phone into a webcam when on WIFI but is there one that will also allow it over 3G.
Basically allowing you to view it as anyother webcam, from anywhere over the web? And possibly use dyndns.org.
No sure if there is an app that would allow that and if there is I would like to have it tho.. but what I know is that this thread is in the wrong section....!!!

Pretty sure the app "Tango" Does this
I assume you've tried droidcam? I know I've used it to make my dinc a webcam for my laptop but that uses wifi.
Are you trying to use it as a computer webcam or doing video chat directly from the phone? The reason most require wifi is of the insanity that running the app through the tower ip and ports vs your personal wifi ports and local ip.

Ok here's the thing. I cant access certain websites(mostly filesharing sites) due to my country's 'anti piracy policy'. Researched, n found out that they do it by manipulating the DNS. I can access them using my PC by changing the connection setting protocol n stop using auto dns server. I changed the preferred DNS server to Google's.
Then,is there any way i can do it in my O2X? Coz i prefer to get online using my fone rather than pc.
If anyone know how to do it,can u guide me step by step please? Really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Btw im running CM7 RC1 with latest vork kernel. Bb 606 Ril 606.

It's easy for WiFi (advanced settings) but for mobile network connection this is the only method I know of:

VPN app
Do you try using a VPN app? Just try a free one such as KUKU VPN+ search it on google play and check out if you can access to blocked sites.

ok as the title suggests.... anyone of you know of any apps similar to AirDroid? Ive tried using it and 8 out of 10 times i cannot seem to log in to the webclient to connect my phone....
Please note, im not looking for solutions to this problem here.... just alternative apps that does the same thing more or less....
thanks in advance
There's a app called browsix that I've used before, it doesn't have the nice interface AirDroid does but its has half the features of it. You can find it on the market.
Just thought I'd suggest it.
Tried that one but still can't get it to work properly maybe its something to do with my Wi-Fi.... using Wi-Fi file explorer for now tho..... seems to be ok
search button..... just do it.....
try file expert. it has a feature like tht.
bt nt as good as airdroid
Was abt to download that and give it a shot then I read further into the reviews and although it got good ratings, there were reports of spam and huge battery drain.... sigh... airdroid is still the best so far but for the life of me I can't figure out what's wrong with me connecting to the website.... seriously anyone else using airdroid?
search button..... just do it.....
so u r trying to http://web.airdroid.com/ or locally?
ur firewall might block the port
for me, both local and website works fine
The website link is useless for me, the only times I got on it were on the 192.11 etc even that is not stable for me firewall is ok as using other almost similar apps manage to log me on easily
search button..... just do it.....
You might wanna try ES Explorer, since the last updates, it got the SD card sharing function, and with that became the best file manager for me.
i am using es, but does it let you control your phone and its contents from your computer?
Is it possible to transfer data with an FTP server like airdroid or something?
Or can I just access my phones data?

Try websharing app, it has good user interface
With lite version you can upload single file at a time, with full version you can upload bulk files, folder etc. Full version have some nice features.
With airdroid I also have sometimes auto disconnect problem

It does. Check the Remote Manage box in Settings > Remote Settings.
It has been 6 months I dont know if you found anything but I can reccomend a great app just like AirDroid.
It's called SnapPea and its truly awesome. Been using it for some time now and its really great.
Webkey
Not sure if this one has been mentioned but Webkey is astonishingly powerful. Needs root but can connect through various networks; I use it when airdroid won't work. The PC side is just a webpage. Address is http://webkey.cc and you get the app from the Market.
I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to share something I discovered.
Not sure if it has changed yet, but I was using Opera web browser a couple of months ago, and AirDroid does not work with that browser...just an FYI
Cool!
Airdroid 2.0 is awesome!
But the below two are very good as well!
