I'm trying to use the app (winamp remote) to listen my music library on my Nexus. Went to the market and downloaded and installed on the phone. did go also to get the server application and installed on my pc. opened port 1950 on my rooter. I'm able to establish a connection from my phone to the pc over the net. I see (over remote access on another pc) the player on the pc starting. when i press play in my Phone - so there is a connection established. The only thing i'm not able to see working is the sound on my phone. Can anyone point me in the righ direction? or give a good alternative to use with my pc software. Thanks in advance

Hey all, is it possible to use my Galaxy S and it's USB cable to connect directly to xbox live? It's one of them gay ol' Xbox's that doesn't have wifi.
No, not with usb, but you could use the wifi tethering on your galaxy and get an ethernet wireless bridge for your xbox. I've done that with a mifi so galaxy tethering should work

I've actually used the Wifi tethering app for root users and just enabled that and was able to play with it nothing else required. Your phone does get hot and make sure you have a fast strong connection

i used the mobile ap on galaxy to go on xbox live i have wireless on my xbox but the nat is strict and i cant play nething can this be resolved the xbox connects to the galaxys access point. when i connect my pc to it it downloads at like 200kbs so i think xbox live should work.
I have a NAS connected to my router by ethernet which I store all my media on, is there any way I can connect to this from my phone when connected to the same router via WiFi?
I've seen plenty of apps to access your phone from your PC but nothing that fits the above.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you would like to access all files on your PC you can use LAN option in app called ES Explorer, it's really good. If you only need access to media such as movies, mp3 you may be satisfied with BSPlayer (it's got LAN mode).
If you just want to access media on the NAS then you can use the AllShare app that is preinstalled. It will automatically detect media servers on your network.

+1 for BS player - it's awesome! For the few occasions I need More power I also use es file explorer.

My NAS isn't DLNA, it's just a standard 250gb drive that's connected to my router via ethernet. Am trying bsplayer, not had any success as yet but maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Ok i've been trying to connect wirelessly to my laptop for more than an hour now. I do every step and when it comes to "to to usb connectivity and click on laptop name and then connect" it just hangs on connecting on the phone.
On PC it says that PC Companion will move to next step automatically when connecting is done. So, what I am doing wrong? Laptop is with Win8.

Anyone?
I take it you have wifi turned on and connected to the sane router as your computer, can I ask what you are trying to do because there are loads of app if you are trying to transfer files from phone to computer which root isn't needed

Edit: one other thing you can always use/try is a wireless adb install/push from Google play depending how good you do knowledge is
Adb install (location on computer) sdcard0 (or 1 for sd card) \ I think it is
But have a read about it because you can even get a log cat from it
Edit 2 something like this

Well you have lot of options to minimize opening of flaps.
First of course try to fix wifi network between xperia and router. Check for DHCP settings, try using WDS option if you have it.
I would also check if phone is recognised in windows networking.
there is an app on playstore that should work and prolly lot of them on pc
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransfer&hl=en
You could get cheap dock and use it for sync and charging, you just change usb from charger to pc
Bluetooth transfer.
What should I check regarding DHCP? Also how can I check if my laptop is recognizing my phone?
It IS recognizing it when it's connected via usb.
I'm looking for DK26 dock but it looks like everywhere is out of stock or not delivering to my country. There are only overpriced sellers 40pounds + PP

Okay so your laptop is connected wirelessly and your phone is connected wirelessly with then same router?
If you install a adb wireless open/run as I have said in Op, enable debugging and then open adb and type adb connect "your phone's ip which the app on your phone will say"
Now does it say connected or failed if it says connected then type adb devices and you should get back your device adb code, if this works then I am wondering if your firewall software is blocking PC Companion to connect but I personally don't use PC Companion as long as adb works and a wifi transfer then that is all you need because in the incident that you need to use Senior flashtool that is done via cable
By the looks you are in the UK as well I have had a nightmare to get a Sony dk26 dock just keep trying because I bought mine Monday when they came back into stock but then by the time I had paid they had sold out again so I got one just in time

Just tried it and it also hung for a while but just leave it and for a while and it then worked.

I had it working only one day, don't know what happened now I can't pair it wirelessly with PCC.
The Sony PCC write a file in the root of SD with the name of your PC when you do the pairing, delete it and retry. Also sometimes the procedure is very long I remember with other Xperia sometime it took almost 10/15mn to get it done.
If you want a third party app there is Filepush (here on xda and play store) that transfert file over wlan but only in one direction PC > Devices.

What is the size of the file in SD with your PC name wrote by PCC?
My file is 0.00kb. I've deleted it and I will try again as soon as i come home.

Ok, I just tested under ADB and its unable to connect.
I looked on internet and it looks like its router problem, port forwarding and stuff like that, the main problem is that I don't know how to forward port in my Netgear WNR2000
So if anyone can help me i would be very grateful.
Thanks to everyone that helped me so far. It looks like if i forward port 8000 it will work.

okay so you turn adb app on and it gives you a ip address to enter e.g 192.168.8.6:5555 then you are now trying to connect on the laptop to it: adb connect 192.128.8.6:5555

Yes, and its unable to connect.
I connected it to other router and it worked, but I dont know why its not working on netgear...
Well it looks like Pc Companion may be problem, I never use official programs because they mostly do not work good, like samsung kies for example.
However I tried this program I already suggested to you:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...transfer&hl=en
The program works just like it should without problems, maybe you could give it a go to check if its working for you.
Or you may use some other app that behaves similiar, and add that network location to your windows for faster access sync.

Airdroid is even better, it works amazing.
I paired my Xperia Tablet Z in less than 5 minutes same setting as usual, then tried to pair my Xperia Z, no way!
Don't know why mobile doesn't work while tablet does...
here is my 2 cents.. looks like I am resurrecting a dead thread. I tried to connect my tab Z with wifi.. I read the instruction clearly I think it says that the computer must be connected to router wired. Anyhow I tried connecting with network configuration. On 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 I could connect it to router both with wifi.. upgraded to 4.4.2 its a no go. I get
this.
Do I need to have a wi-fi adapter on my PC to use the ChromeCast extension with the chromecast? Or is a wired connection enough? Please.. Need a quick answer.
Also.. Was wondering, how do I check my ChromeCasts firmware version, I haven't connected it to the internet yet, but I want to check to make sure I can update it. Thx.
I tried plugging it up to the tv, and it only says I need to setup first, should I do that? Or not take the risk
You need a wireless device to set it up like a phone or laptop. Once setup you can cast from your wired pc if it's connected to one of the Ethernet ports on your wireless router.
