Wifi transfers

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

Lost all files on /sdcard when transfering files from PC

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

Tether

Has anybody managed to create a wifi access point with KFHD7? I find it useful for sharing files via ftp. Have tried ES Explorer wireless tools for this, it works if access point is a phone, but not if KFHD7 tries to be the access pont (and later have to restart device to re-enable normal wifi functionality). Using PAC-man ROM.

I suppose this silence means that nobody has been able to create an access point with a KFHD7. Has anybody tried?

File Transfer to Gear

Has anybody figured out a way to transfer files via BlueTooth from our phones to the Gear? Right now, I can push/install from my PC/Mac just fine, but I'd hate having to carry around the cradle all the time for my customization needs.

You can do it by installing bluetooth file transfer. You'll have to install this app on your phone and gear. Open it connect it and transfer away...

My point exactly, theres currently no way to transfer files without using a third party application.
Which would mean you would have to use the cradle.

I think the point of the bluetooth file transfer suggestion is that you only have to do it once (i.e., to get the bluetooth file transfer software on the watch) and then you can continue to transfer files without touching the cradle. If the question is how to transfer files without even a single use of the cradle, I think the answer is clearly no with the current set of apps available.

Did anyone succeed with any bluetooth file transfert apk ?

Did anybody succeed to install and use a bluetooth file transfert apk on the gear ?
I tried some apk (such as BlueFTP.apk), using adb to transfert them on the gear... but I have error messages when they launch telling they are not able to get the bluetooth working... so they are able to show the directories....

YES ... I've successfully tried it. Check the following "[HOW TO] Transfer the files (downloading to) from your device to GEAR via BLUETOOTH" :laugh:

One way only?
I followed the instructions and was able to browse my phone's files on the gear and transfer them to the gear, but it doesn't seem possible to browse the gear's files on the phone and pull them onto the phone. Am I doing something wrong?
When trying to connect on my phone, I get the message "Service not found. You cannot connect with target device because it lacks of the 'File Transfer Profile' (OBEX FTP) and/or the 'Object Push Profile' (OBEX OPP) Bluetooth services. Make sure that the target device is in DISCOVERABLE mode and enabled to receive files!"

How do I send the files from my computer to the gear?

this method is painfully slow though, after u install that app on BOTH, u still have to enable it on BOTH, then pair it, so many steips
i wished that apk filepush works but sadly it doesn't work via BT spoofing
with filepush on my other android devices, i just have to right click the file on my windows 8 computer and send it via filepush!

I use root explorer to send files from my phone to my gear frequently. It can be VERY SLOW to do so though.
By the way I have the gear rooted, ROM is null_23, and have root explorer on the gear. I have sent as big of files as the null Roms and VR themes as well. Also I have used root explorer to send screenshots from my gear with root explorer to my phone, those are normally watchfaces for Watchstyler.

[Q] best wireless file transfer app ?

Can anyone recommend a good fIle transfer app I do all my torrenting on my phone and I need an easy and fast way to transfer to pc.
Thanks in advance

ES File explorer is one of the best apps IMO. So many features this ap has. One of those features is Remote Manager. Swype towards the right or click on the icon on the top left that has a cellphone in front of the world, then go to tools and click on Remote Manager. Both devices have to be connected to the same WIFI. Use your laptop/computer to open up the browser. Type the address that ES file shows in the address bar of the browser.

Thanks man your the best. Trying to stay lazy ya know, let's say I have ES on my tablet can u go between phone n tab?

I've been using airdroid but played around with my ES Explorer and found it's ftp features useful as well. Can you access the external sd card through ES? Or is it the same as airdroid where it's only the phones internal memory card.
No worries either way...just use the file/files and cut and paste it to the external card manually anyways...one less step though if it could.
